The immune system is iodine based

"Nature has had 2 billion years to get it right." 3.5 billion. "All the big mistakes were made millions of years ago. Nature is only making small refinements to evolution now." All changes are "small refinements", they just stack up over millions of years. And Nature still makes mistakes, as evidenced by all the genetic/developmental disorders that people can have. "Humans are the leading edge of the evolution game. We are the result of super refinement and are the best adaptors thus far. It is unlikely that the leading edge species would have so many basic faults and inadequacies." Um... no. First, there is no "game". Evolution doesn't have an objective. It doesn't seek to improve. Improvements are random and subject to trial and error. Second, human bodies are very poorly adapted to their environment. The only reason we've thrived is because we're inventors - i.e. we improve upon what Nature gave us. Even that has a huge trade-off, since our intelligence requires a large brain, and a large head makes childbirth extremely dangerous, which is why it was a major cause of death for women before modern medicine. "It is far more likely that a few stupid humans got it wrong 200 years ago and created a faulty germ theory to highlight their own inadequacies." Or, since our life expectancy and standard of living have skyrocketed since then, it's more likely that a few stupid people today don't know what they're talking about. "It should be noted that Edward Jenner's siblings and children all died at a very young age. If one can't save the life of one's siblings and children, then, what good is vaccination? lol" Edward Jenner created a vaccine against smallpox. It was very primitive by our standards, and also very dangerous. You misunderstand how vaccines work. A vaccine doesn't bestow blanket immunity to everything. It immunizes against a specific antigen. A vaccine against smallpox will immunize you against smallpox, but will not immunize you against tuberculosis. "And how does the body destroy a pathogen? Answer - By using iodine and oxygen! The body can only destroy a pathogen if it has iodine to carry the signalling hormones. No iodine - no signal - no cure." No, it uses digestive enzymes, which don't involve iodine. And signalling hormones don't work that way. I could explain the biology behind them, but you wouldn't understand it. "If iodine kills all cells, then what the hell is it doing in the thyroid gland?" Hence the term "trace element". You need a touch of iodine, but too much will harm you. "Dr. Maria Scunziano-Singh, M.D. [blah blah blah]" One un-sourced crackpot does not a case make. You have not met your burden of proof. You have not proven that the immune system is iodine-based or that it involves iodine in any way. Your sources are not credible. You don't understand how Evolution works. You don't understand how vaccines work. You don't understand the difference between a trace amount and a toxic amount of an element. You also seem ignorant of the effect that modern medicine has had on human life, and the suffering that occurred in its absence. That suffering still occurs today in many third-world countries. Somehow, I doubt you would be pushing alternative medicine if you lacked first-world comforts.
