Vitamin C reduces halogen based oxidants. Ascorbic acid used to reduce halogens

For 5 months, in 2007, I was practicing orthoiodosupplementation; using more than 100mg daily. Today, I use perhaps 12.4 mg twice a week for maintenance. It seems like I keep retoxifying myself; even when I use mild forms of detoxification. Things don't move through my system very well or very quickly.

The reason for the Lugol's recommendation, is because it was and is used major clinical studies; and has proven to work, at least, for the cure fibrocycstic breast disease.
