I haven't seen a lot of info specifically about endometriosis and iodine but pretty much anything effecting fertility is connected to iodine so I would absolutely get her on a good dose of iodine.

Hi there,

I am wondering if anyone has had experience with iodine and endometriosis. My daughter, who is hypothyroid like her mother (she was born in Michigan, I grew up in southern lower Michigan), has severe endometriosis which has rendered her infertile. I can’t help but wonder if starting her on Iodoral would help her. I suspect she is estrogen dominant as well as low on iodine and she is starting on Progesterone. She doesn’t want to do the iodine loading test at the moment but I really would like her to try iodine. I am convinced the iodine wouldn’t hurt her especially if she is low on iodine but has anyone experienced an improvement in endometrial lesions with the increased intake of iodine?

and a very good diet. With all the vitamins but Vit E seems to produce nearly miraculous

changes in menstrual rhythm 600 mg daily for a month or two.(Adelle . Lets Get Well)

The US Goverment issued a patent which claims a cure for endometriosis by

elemental Iodine within it it.

I would recomend everyone read the whole text of the patent.

United States Patent 5,589,198

December 31, 1996

Search for the patent by its number for the whole story. this is just the

section on endometriosis

Iodine Treatment of Endometriosis

The present invention provides a method and composition for the treatment of

endometriosis. Particularly, elemental iodine minimize the ovarian function and

estrogen production to control endometriosis and alleviate its symptoms.

Endometriosis is characterized by hormonally responsive endometrial tissue

implants in extra-uterine sites. The etiology of endometriosis is thought to be

the transplantation of uterine lining cells through the fallopian tubes, the

lymph channels and/or the blood stream to the abdominal cavity. Another

suggested theory is that the peritoneum undergoes metaplasia to produce

endometrial cells without direct access to cellular transplants. The

transplanted or transformed islands of endometrial tissue act in a similar

fashion to the uterine cells, with swelling and then bleeding at the time of

menstruation.

Current treatment modalities for endometriosis are directed at the normal

fluctuations of the estrogen/progesterone complex. Medications include birth

control pills, masculinizing hormones such as danazol, or estrogen suppression

drugs such as tamoxifen. In older age groups, total abdominal hysterectomy is

the only therapy that is effective. All of the medical therapies are

anti-estrogen.

It was found that the therapeutic treatment of human patients with an effective

amount of elemental iodine (I.sub.2) in a pharmaceutical carrier caused a

subsidence of the nodularity of the patient's pelvic peritoneum. An effective

dose of elemental iodine (I.sub.2) to cause such a subsidence of nodularity is

about 1 to 20 milligrams per day. A daily dosage of elemental iodine for the

treatment of endometriosis of about 3 milligrams to about 6 milligrams is also

useful. The daily dosage can be administered in an aqueous solution containing

about 0.30 milligrams of elemental iodine per milliliter of solution.

One example of the daily dosage is based on the administration of about 0.01 to

about 0.2 milligrams of elemental iodine per kilogram of patient body weight per

day.

Yes, she should try the iodine protocol (all the companion nutrients in the

required dosages). Iodine is directly used by the reproductive organs. If

they don't have enough iodine, disease processes ensue. She should do

transdermal iodine as well as oral. Many women have had their fibroids

shrink and disappear following the iodine protocol and transdermal.

She would need to be willing to wait 6 months. But it will go faster if

she uses more than 50mg/day of iodine (Lugol's or Iodoral tabs).

Endometriosis is not life threatening so giving the iodine protocol a

chance to work is not really going to be a problem. It will arrest the

difficulties and it won't get worse, then start to recede.

If what I've read about our tissues expanding to find iodine is true, ti would

make sense that endometrial tissue expanding to seek out iodine sources should

react favorable to iodine usage. The same applies to enlarged prostate, and

uterine/breast fibroids, as well as goiter.
