Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 I have not read about the kidney specifically but it has been known to effect cysts pretty much body wide so my inclination would be that it would help but in a high enough dose. At lower doses your thyroid will take all / most of it. It takes a lot more to get to the rest of the body due to the large quantity of tissues and organs competing for it.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Walt, My daughter has PKD and I emailed Dr. Brownstein asking about iodine therapy for PKD, but didn't hear anything back from him. However as I researched more about this..I learned that iodine must be used with Extreme caution in those with kidney disease as it can cause more damage...so I'm thinking maybe PKD and iodine therapy is not a good mix. cindi > > I have read that iodine supplementation is effective for cysts in the > breast and on the skin.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 i don't think you're saying that Dr. Flechas has stated iodine is a treatment for polycystic kidney disease, which causes cysts in the kidney...but rather you're just saying he is an advocate of high iodine doses... but since this issue is very very close to me (my daughter has PKD)...and iodine is a huge no-no for them (they can't even have iodine contrast dye without risking damage and decline of already compromised kidney function)....i think some major caution is necessary here... just as there are docs who are writing good things about iodine...and yet do mention that those with thyroid disease may have problems...I've also been told Dr. Brownstein has agreed (in personal email) that those with compromised kidneys are another group that may have adverse effects. So I just think it's important to remember that although iodine has proven therapeutic benefits...and that folks may even be able to take up to 200 mg. without any adverse effect to their thyroid gland...we are not all alike..and there are groups that may be quite susceptible to damage from high dose iodine. cindi > > > I have not read about the kidney specifically but it has been known to > > effect cysts pretty much body wide so my inclination would be that it > > would > > help but in a high enough dose.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 That iodine helps kidney cysts. But just read a post saying someone's daughter has bad reactions to iodine so I just don't know. I would ask Brownstein I guess. Didn't someone just say he writes about it in his new book? When is it available? Anybody know? On Sep 27, 2007, at 2:17 PM, ladybugsandbees wrote: > Dr Flechas Seems to think what???

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 He is hoping to have his book out the end of this month - don't know if it is. If I talk to him tonight I will ask him. I would guess that he wanted to take it with us to CA this week for the Iodine Conference. He does not address kidney issues with his new addition. The new chapters are on Selenium, Organification / Oxidation, Autoimmune and Iodine and Cancer. I did ask Dr. B about kidney disease and iodine and he is doing some checking. I will ask him again this week when I am with him. I have a list of questions for him. I will have my laptop with me so if I get a chance I will update the group.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I hope to find out about correcting the filter process of the kidneys. I was told that pain pills like Lorcet would destroy the kidney filters and my daughter was addicted to these due to doctors and operations. She no longer is addicted but left pretty diseased and does not seem to be filtering properly and has gained about 60 pounds in the last 6 months. Was already heavy.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 I was only there on Saturday, but atrial fibrillation didn't come up. I would have asked during Q & A but I didn't see your post asking about it until I got back. And as said, no one seemed to have any experience with polycistic kidney disease.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Bummer. I was hoping they might be able to address if enough Iodine could shrink a parathyroid cyst. Really I guess it doesn't matter if they addressed because I have enough evidence from here and other on-line sources that enough iodine can shrink this sort of cyst. I am gonna sure give it a try! It beats surgery any day!! :-) Annie/Texas -----Original Message-----From: iodine [mailto:iodine ] On Behalf Of ladybugsandbeesSent: Sunday, October 14, 2007 9:29 AMiodine Subject: Re: Re: Iodine for polycystic kidney disease Didn't talk about those either.
