Re: Four forms of Iodine compared for Fibrocystic Breasts - find Aqueous Iodine?

[Guest guest]

It really sound like aqueous (diatomic) iodine worked best for breast

problems, which I have. I'd like to try it. I've looked around online

and not come up with any sources for buying. Has anyone come across it

or have any suggestions for finding it?

Thanks much,

Sharon

> Four types of iodine have been studied in the treatment of

fibrocystic breasts, only one of which has been truly effective both

pain reduction and cyst reduction, and free of side effects on the

thyroid gland. The sodium iodide, potassium iodide, and caseinated

iodine can actually inhibit thyroid function in some individuals and

actually cause hypothyroid. Aqueous aiodine is the only form which

will not cause hypothyroidism. All forms of iodine relieve subjective

clinical symptoms: sodium iodide (Lugol's solution); potassium iodide;

caseinated iodine (protein-bound); and aqueous (diatomic ) iodine.

Symptom relief varied a great deal with the different iodines, but

only the aqueous or diatomic iodine achieved both symptom relief in 74

percent of the women, but also objective reduction in nodules and

resolution of fibrosis in 65 percent of the patients, without adverse

effects on the thyroid gland. The recommended dose of aqueous iodine

is a prescription of 3-6 mg per day. ------Quote from Terry's email
