Isn't Iodine something you put on cuts and abbrasions? I thought Iodine was for external applications only and to take it internally would likely kill you. If there's something new about Iiodine that has internal applications please let me know. I'm not trying to be smart. It's just I'm not all that familiar with the pharmaceutical market near as prescription drugs are concerned.
