Starting Iodine Protocol - Need Advice

[Guest guest]

Hello Folks,I've been monitoring this site for about a year now and my wife (diagnosed papillary thyroid cancer last year in Dec 2010) with no surgery or RAI yet and do not plan on one, hopefully ...For the past year she's been on homeopathic medicine along with a slew of natural supplements (Dr. Tim O' Shea). However, her nodule has slightly grown over a year despite homeo medicine:

Thyroid Sonogram: 12/2010 (Last Year)RIGHT LOBE:  3.2cm longitudinally and 1.1 x 1.4 cm in cross section. LEFT LOBE:     3.3cm longitudinally and 1.1 x 1.2 cm in cross section. NODULE: 1.3 x 1.9 cm solid, vascular nodule in the left aspect of the thyroid isthmus.

Thyroid Sonogram: 12/2011 (This Year)RIGHT LOBE: 4.1cm longitudinally and 1.4 x 1.6 cm  (Normal)LEFT LOBE: 4.1cm cm longitudinally and 1.5 x 2.0 cm (Slightly enlarged)NODULE: 1.3 x 2.3 x 2.7 cm solitary nodule

December 2011 Blood TestTHYROXINE (T4) FREE DIRECT - 1.35 (Range: 0.82-1.77 ng/dL)THYROXINE (T4) - 9.6 (Range: 4.5 - 12.0 ug/dL)TRIIODOTHYRONINE  (T3) FREE - 2.9 (Range: 2.0 - 4.4 pg/mL)

TRIIODOTHYRONINE (T3) - 121 (Range: 71-180 ng/dL)TSH - 2.29 (Range: 0.450 - 4.50 uIU/mL)FERRITIN, SERUM - 25 (Range: 13-150 ng/mL)IRON, SERUM - 131 (Range: 35-155 ug/dL)IRON SATURATION - 44% (Range: 15-55%)

VITAMIN D - 26 (Range: 32-100)VITAMIN B12 - 393 (Range: 211-946)At this point, looking to start Iodine protocol and need some sanity check as well as any input from the experts:1. Will take either Lugols or Iodoral with food. I understand that cancer patients can take 50 - 300 mg/day, what's the recommended starting dosage and how frequently to increase dosage?

2. Will take supporting nutrients with food starting from lower end dosage, if that's okay:    a. Vit C - 2000 mg/day - Good / natural brand to get ?    b. Selenium - 200 mcg/day - Good / natural brand to get ?

    c. Magnesium - 400 mg/day - Good / natural brand to get ?    d. Unrefined Celtic Salt - If detox symptoms occur for upto 3 days max. Is there a document on detox symptoms ?    e. ATP CoFactors - If needed when feeling fatigued - Good / natural brand to get ?

3. Will continue with taking 10,000 IU of Vit D3 - Bio-D-Mulsion Forte4. Will take B6 Complex along with Iron supplement if Ferritin levels drops after 3-4 months on Iodine protocol, or maybe even now since it's at 25 ??

5. Should I contiune with homeopathic regimen ?6. Paint with Iodine as well ?7. Has anyone gotten rid of nodule(s) while on this protocol ?Did I miss anything ?I know it's a lot of questions, but I want wife to start off precisely so thank you in advance your guidance !!
