Thank you Jaye, there are some very good data in the references you have that include good support for iodine efficacy in women with fibrocystic disease. This particular reference (http://www.jpands.org/vol11no4/millerd.pdf page 108) mentions a phase 3 trial enrolling patients in 2006. That’s 5 years ago so I wonder if the results have been published yet, does anyone know?
