The leaders on this forum should be focusing on the best ways to cure the immune system, instead of just treating symptoms.

The perfect example is Vitamin D3, which is not a vitamin at all. It is actually a Hormone that substantially boosts the immune system by up to 500%

Here is the D3 deficiency symptom list:

What would you rather do? Treat each of those diseases with a drug or take Vitamin D3 and cure them all.

This is a shining example of D3 in action:

D3 was my 1st MAJOR success against DECADES of absolutely TERRIBLE chest colds every winter, a Candida Symptom.
Yes, D3 was my 1st victory over DECADES of suffering Candida!

Best to you,

Hey, thats all well and good.
But seb3 didnt say anything bad about iodine, as a matter of fact he said for all he knows it might help.
Nobody is 'slamming' iodine.
He's just tired of every thread being hijacked by a post about iodine.
Grizz is what is known as a threadkill.
His posts actually have the opposite effect and discourage discussion beyond iodine.
And that's unfortunate, because many here obviously dont feel that Iodine is the solution.
Even YOU dont know if Iodine is the cure.
Even Grizz admitted that he wasnt even sure if candida is what caused his asthma.
So what is all of this discussion about?
Candida? or iodine?
Many people come to curezone to discuss topics with other people. Thats the whole idea behind most forums.
To discuss things.
And until Iodine is definitively recognized as a cure, then EVERYTHING should be out in the open.
Hey, I would LOVE to see a cure for ANYTHING. But simply repeating something over and over and over again doesnt make it true.

I understand your point of view. However, Im not sure i would have looked into the archive had grizz not been in the first 5 pages of the forums and I hate that anyone that has had success gets buried somewhere in the archives.

Oh good! I finally kicked mine on round # 5 or 6. It took me til round 4 to realize I wasnt take the meds properly and once i added fat, it worked! The last round I added the vitamins and MSM and wow wow wow... that vitamin c guy was right the whole time lol they still have me scheduled with infectious disease and for an endoscopy of my lungs. They're trying to tell me that I've had Strongyloid S. for many years, but I disagree... apparently in PA it's as common as lyme. i had asthma and was healthy my whole life until the pinworm/whipworm thing... when it went away, i felt better than i did in 20 years... and like most of us, the meds killed off a ton of candida and i still see the roots and strings, but have no symptoms of candida... so im sort of wondering if its candida related because my asthma cleared up a ton after the meds and seeing all the candida leave. So, it's got to be one of 2 things... my asthma is candida related because i spent my childhood on Antibiotics and had a poor diet... or I really DO have Strongyloid S. but was asymomatic the whole time. It deepens the mystery!
But anyway, you're doing the right thing... hopefully once you get the candida cleared up then the rest will follow. It's such a process. For some people it might be as easy as taking supplements to kick the immune system in to control candida, but i don't think grizz quite understands that a majority of us are or were VERY sick and no amount of Iodine or supplements is going to correct the candida or parasites that people have. Some people's candida burden is way too much for the immune system to handle and if that person has a parasite infection or even viral infection on top of that... even HPV, their immune system is bogged down supressing other things. As we both know from the parasite forum, every single person reacts differently to the SAME thing. My family beat pinworms in 3 weeks while other people still have them a year later. We used the same meds, washed and cloroxed every day... but had completely different reactions. Most people with whipworm can get rid of them in a week.. it took me 8 weeks almost - same meds. Once I started supporting my immune system, it seemed like the meds worked better, but no way could my immune system handle that on its own.
There are just too many factors that are unknown for a one size fits all approach. I'm very curious about Iodine and I'm going to try it, but not because i believe it's a cure... but I think it's over rated... and seems overkill to mega dose yourself with it.. the body only needs so much and too much of something is bad news. They say you cant have too much vitamin c, but too much makes your pee acidic, makes some peoples skin get rashy and only a fraction absorbs. It's all about balance and giving the vody what it needs. It's only a small piece of the puzzle. Yes, it may be helpful for some people... but a majority of people are beyond immune systems stepping in at this point. Especially if your immune system is tied up with other stuff.
Good luck with your battle! Keep kicking it now while it's down!
Hopefully if you can get the candida in check, everything else will fall out for you too.
