Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
