Myers, 1977. Iodine in ovaries, breast, muscles, lymph, mucous

[Guest guest]

Myers was an MD who wrote about iodine and other trace elements in the 1970s. In this paper, he talks about iodine and diiodotyrosine (T2) in the ovaries, breast, muscles, lymph, and mucous. He advocated iodized lime. Zoe

Iodine and trace elements in the promotion and maintenance of metabolic excellence.

Myers JA 1977In Schutte KH and Myers JA, Metabolic Aspects Of Health: Nutritional Elements in Health and Disease. "The presence of iodine in the ovaries was discovered by Scharger at the same time that Baumann found iodine in the thyroid. With the exception of the thyroid the ovaries contain the highest concentration of iodine. has shown that there is a cyclic change of the ovarian iodine content associated with ovarian activity, that is, the iodine concentration is highest at the peak of ovarian activity and becomes lower with the decline of ovarian activity. extracted the iodine component from fresh ovaries. He could not detect thyroxin in this extract, but found that it has a marked stimulating influence on tadpoles. Morse fed tadpoles with diiodotyrosine and produced a similar accelerating action on the metamorphosis of the frogs' larvae. It was concluded that there is a possibility that the iodine compound stored or manufactured by the ovaries is a diiodotyrosine fraction."

"The ovaries participate directly in iodine metabolism."

"The pattern of iodine concentration in the ovaries coincides with the activity of the ovaries.... This strongly suggests that the iodine fraction in the ovary is either stored or manufactured by the ovary."

"Thus, we can see that the longevity of the female over the male in our modern society is due to her unique ability to control the level of her blood cholesterol by a special hormone, diiodotyrosine, produced in her ovary.... Diiodotyrosine plays a specific role in converting the fat and cholesterol-like secretions of the breasts to milk to feed her baby."

"The breast is an organ that is developed from 15 to 20 sweat glands of the skin and grows back toward the chest wall. It converts its secretions of fat and cholesterol into milk under the stimulus of prolan from the anterior pituitary. During lactation when induration appears, it is rapidly softened and brought to a fluid state by the administration of diiodotyrosine. This is helped also by the feeding of extra iodine and trace elements. The trace elements that have the most marked effect on the breast are zinc, manganese, copper, cobalt and silver. When ions of these materials are placed upon the tongue, within ten seconds a softening effect can be felt in the breast, and with proper care early conditions diagnosed as cystic mastitis will disappear in minutes. Cystic fibrosis and cysts of the breast will disappear over a period of time under adequate treatment of iodine with trace elements and estrogen..."

"It has been my experience in feeding iodine in its natural form as iodized lime, that it has a marked effect on muscle contraction directly. It relieves cramps of the leg muscles known as 'charley horses.' It also relieves pain in the precordium, which I am sure is a similar contraction of the heart muscles, and it has a remarkable effect on muscle energy and contraction of all muscles of the body. Several female patients following severe debilitation with violent cramps in the intestinal tract were subjected to repeated laporotomy for obstruction, but nothing was found. Later under treatment with iodine, metallic elements and minerals, these cramps were greatly relieved."

"Iodine plays a decisive and critical role in the lymph system and in the lymph glands. Swollen submaxillary gland known as 'waxen kernels' to our parents and grandparents, will soften and regress within minutes after allowing iodized lime to dissolve in the mouth. It is my experience that it is the need for iodine in puberty that is the prime cause for the development of infectious mononucleosis.... Response of the disease to iodine is remarkable...."

"Iodine plays a very important role in the mucous of the body, and modifications of this mucous can be seen in the mouth and vagina. Sticky, thick and odorous mucous in both areas can be changed to a clear, flowing limpid fluid without odor and with a high degree of lubrication. When a woman has a sufficient amount of iodine in her body from the intake of either iodized lime or diiodotyrosine, it is impossible for her to become infected with trichomonas. Applications of "Roma-Nol," an aqueous solution of iodine, is the best protection and aid in treating this disease. Iodine sprayed on the mucous lining of her vagina will be absorbed and will soften her breasts in a matter of 5 minutes, while at the same time it relieves the tension and irritability of her intestinal musculature. The staining of the cervix and vaginal lining a deep brown color is known as Schiller's test for cancer of the cervix. Areas that do not stain should be biopsied and examined for cancer."
