Did anyone of you that commented or voted for this post bother to look at the original article? It states very clearly that "Live Truth Productions is a multimedia publishing house & more from the Garden of Eden sustainable ecovillage!" All content belongs to @gardenofeden & @truthproductions. There is no plagiarism happening there.
Now with that said - GOOGLE (scholar or otherwise) is not a source of information that should be documented by any self respecting writer, outside of a high school science paper. I have read a variety of books on the importance of iodine, and I have my own personal experience with it.
DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH PEOPLE!
Not only that but it looks like they did share all the difference source information they pulled from in response to your accusations. Once you have actually read all of this (listed below in case you missed it), and verified it's volatility, then I think you have a right to comment on why you think all those highly educated individuals don't know what they are talking about.
Until then it just seems like YOU are using someone else years of work and research to write an unfounded post and line your own pockets. I find it unoriginal in thought and morally reprehensible. Cheers....

Reposting an article twice is rewards abuse. Decline rewards and everything is ok.
Google scholar is a legitimate search engine where you can find legitimate sources. It is not a source itself. It is used by researchers in academia (people that I work with, who publish research work). Those sources are peer-reviewed. Furthermore I used NCBI. Here I used google scholar to look up one of the cited sources. Guess it is not legit now because it was found using google?
I am not saying those sources are not legit. They were not cited in the article, which was my critique. It can be debated if they are still useful (eg, for health related writing you should not go past 5 years). Also the statement that 95% of Americans are iodine deficient seems to be a made up fact. Then again, skimming the sources (which according to your friends is sufficient), most of them cite correlations between health problems and iodine deficiency in some form or variety. This is something that I am not denying by any means. Giving me 60 sources still does not prove your post right. Here is a statement from one of the sources:
So thyroid hormone administration rather than iodine seemed to help people. Good. That shows that thyroid hormone can have beneficial effects on people with heart conditions. Never said that was not the case Source.
I was never intending for this post to be this profitable. Also, please know that I have no problem with your intentions or your lifestyle. I just disagree with this one post, which is inaccurate and not appropriately cited. Just read your post and I am sorry that you had such a bad history with heavy metals. However, while I am sorry and wishing you the best (no really, this is by no means sarcastic!!), research says that the US and the most part of the world has access to suffient iodine sources. See this peer reviewed paper.

It appears to me that you have not really read my post. But that is fine. It is also interesting that all of you seem to ignore the fact that there is excessive iodine.
TO EVERYBODY. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. HERE ARE SOME WAYS YOU CAN FIND SCIENTIFIC PEER-REVIEWED SOURCES:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
https://scholar.google.com/
https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en.html
Your local library.
I have realized now that there is no point to argue about emotional topics. So this will be my first and last critical response (even though I am sure I could get some nice rewards with more of these). Again, science is not about the money, but about actually enjoying it. I am not trying to justify a certain lifestyle by abusing science. My goal is to read scientific articles and then base my decisions on that.
Cheers!
