Venturi's thoughts on orthoiodosupplementation

[Guest guest]

I asked Dr Venturi for his thoughts on orthoiodosupplementation. Here is his response.

Dear Dr. Zoe,

Regarding Dr. Abraham’s orthoiodosupplementation (supplemental iodine recommendations of 12.5 mg/day, with using amount up to 100 mg/day for cancer and other disease conditions),

I think that this idea may be correct only for breast tissue, but not for stomach mucosa , salivary gland or other permanent iodide-concentrating tissues.

An excess of iodides impairs the iodide pump (NIS) and the cellular trophism of iodide-concentrating tissues, resulting in functional damage including the well-known Wolff-Chaikoff effect, which occurs in the thyroid even with a dosage just in excess of 2 mg , as well as degenerative and necrotic lesions in the iodide-concentrating tissues (thyroid, salivary gland and gastric mucosa, but not in the breast) in the case of greater and prolonged quantities.

In fact the mammary gland has only a temporary ability in concentrating iodides,

almost exclusively during pregnancy and lactation, which are considered protective conditions against breast cancer; for this reason, I believe that the breast is insensible to the damage of iodine excess.

U.S. Institute of Medicine considers safe a dose of 1.1 mg daily!

Yours

Sebastiano
