I don’t blame you. I hate having to take medication too. If you do decide to take Nascent Iodine, make sure you stop your thyroid medication first. Might have to check if you have to wean yourself off. Your thyroid can’t tell the difference between this stuff and the Iodine your thyroid produces. Sometimes I also take half a dropper full at lunchtime too. Usually that’s if someone with a flu or something has breathed on me and if I start feeling like I’m getting a sore throat I put the extra dose on my throat and a few hours later it’s no longer sore and I don’t get that flu. I’m the healthiest person I’ve ever come across and my last doctor was quite amazed at my blood tests. Her exact words were “you are incredibly healthy” and she seemed rather amazed. It’s certainly worth the investment as you save so much on dr visits and prescriptions and never need to take time off work.
