Re: Iodine for Breast Cancer

[Guest guest]

Toni, I buy Iodoral from Vitamin Research Products. It's around $28

per bottle of 100 tablets, I think. I read an article in the VRP

newsletter that says iodoral is recommended for treating breast cancer.

You can look it up in their archives, and it's worth reading, as they

cited some case histories. I don't have cancer, but I take iodoral for

thyroid support, and I think it works for me. I've never had any side

effects from it.

get it?

There are several websites selling it. VRP even sells the iodine urine test

kit. For more info on iodine and breast cancer see

Iodine is also a very powerful fat emulsifier. Not many are aware of this.

Hi everyone,

Just to add to the info. re iodine and health....

The USRDA for iodine was increased to approx. 150 mcg. per day within the

past year or so. Many doctors think that it is still too low.

In Japan the average daily intake of iodine is 12.5 mg (1000 mcg. = 1

mg). Japan has fewer cases of cystic breast disease, uterine fibroids,

cystic ovaries, breast cancer and other feminizing cancers and...in

general, lower cases of hypothyroidism. One of the reason women have a

higher incidence of low thyroid function than men, is because they have to

share their iodine with their breasts and ovaries. It has been estimated

that this increase in the USRDA for iodine will more than double the

number of cases of hypothyroidism that will now be diagnosed...and they

thought our low energy was all in our heads...!

Have a wonderful and blessed day...

A book, worth reading, is 'Iodine, why you need it why you can't live without

it' by Brownstein, M.D.

VRP recently had it on sale for $10.00 however I do not know if it is still on

sale.

-Tony: I appreciate the leg work and wanted to know the dosage of

iodine you should take and would it be smarter to test first to see a

definite deficiency before you just start something? I would then

assume the urine/iodine test would be the simplest one to get and use?

Hadn't really heard much about iodine till ya'll started to discuss

it. Thanks again. Frann

Fran,

You really should get tested first. There is a group of breast cancer patients

collecting the data from the iodine loading test and working together on seeing

their progress. Dr. Flechas lab (FFP) will send you the test for $80 and do a

free phone consult in which he'll tell you how much Iodoral to take. I have

taken the test myself and feel iodine has had a good effect.

Go to: _http://breastcancerchoices.org/IodineInvestigation.html_

(http://breastcancerchoices.org/IodineInvestigation.html) and see the box with

the 800

number to get the test.

Let us know how you do.

Lynne: From all I am reading it sounds like testing is the way to go

and then taking Iodoral to increase the iodine level is a good

choice on supplements? Thanks for all your information, I did find

the test site and will order one and see where I'm at. Frann

you a FedEx box to send the sample back. One of the breast cancer

patients in our group was taking Lugol's Iodine for six months then

took the test, expecting it to be normal by then. Her Iodine test

came back in the 40s (should be around 90). When she switched to

Iodoral she felt completely different. It seems to absorb better or

is stronger. She's going to retest in 3 months.
