IODISM RELATED TO IODINE DOSE LEVELS. WAS: no more iodine for me

[Guest guest]

Then kindly explain to me why in h*ll anyone would publish a paper and

quote data or other papers he believes to be false or invalid? I do

realize that the professional quality of the publishing venue is

somewhere below the toilet, but what could be his motive? The _only_

purpose to quote false or invalid data that comes easily to mind is to

refute it. Otherwise one quotes _valid_ data in order to support one's

hypothesis. See the two quotes from Abraham/Flechas below:

I don't think there's even ONE mention of iodism being caused by

anything other than iodine in the whole d@mned paper [on the site you

sent me to]. This is from the very first paper on the site under IODINE

RESEARCH. And it runs directly contrary to your usual advice to anyone

who has a problem in taking low level doses of iodine to just increase

the dose. Abraham and Flechas' paper quotes data that demonstrates that

increasing the dose of iodine raises the incidence of iodism. If you

don't believe the information on the sources you recommend then why the

h*ll do you recommend them???

Bewildered,

I realize this wasn't directed to me, regardless...I have a

'theory'...maybe because the entire study of iodine is

still...'evolving'...teehee...seriously though...I'm inclined to

believe the latter...he's quoting valid data to support his hypothesis

in an ongoing research project, that he is attempting to document

throughout all phases and identify the 'whys' behind the results of

the tests of his theories...?
