That is one book I have not read but want to. Can you tell me if it is specific to breast cancer or does he offer other info? Have you read Dr. Brownstein's book. I have wondered if he offers info that is different.

Breast cancer and iodine

I have two friends who have breast cancer and who have just gone through chemo so I have bought them Dr Derry's book. I read the book today and really believe that everybody with a dysfunctional thyroid should read it. I am definitely going to start taking natural thyroid with my iodine.Everybody read this book!

The book is only 109 pages long with lots of reference notes at the end of each

chapter. The last chapter is about breast cancer only with the other chapters

being iodine, thyroid gland and thyroid hormone, cancer. I have read Dr

Brownstein's book but what is different with Dr Derry's book is that he writes

about not only iodine's role in cancer prevention (not just breast cancer) but

thyroid hormones role too. He talks about how 100 years ago, doctors would

treat thyroid cancer with sub toxic doses of natural thyroid hormone. He also

writes about how every woman facing chemo should be taking natural thyroid prior

and after treatment and explains why.

I have read that Dr Derry still practices in , Vancouver Island.

Have your friends been on the iodine protocol? It would be interesting to see how they respond to it. I wish them the best of luck with their health challenges.

Neither of them have heard of the benefits of iodine for breast cancer except

for my ravings so I am building a dossier to give them some solid information.

It is difficult as one of them does not speak or read english and I do not speak

french well enough to explain so I will have to give the information to her

daughter to translate. I hope with all my heart that they pick it up and try

it.

That's great. I have always wondered about and now it seems like something beneficial. I have shied away because of the BC in the title.

Key Words: invasiveness • metastasis • thyroid hormone receptor

Loss of thyroid hormone receptors (TR) is a common feature in some tumors,

although their role in tumor progression is currently unknown. We show here that

expression of TR & #946;1 in hepatocarcinoma and breast cancer cells reduces tumor

growth, causes partial mesenchymal-to-epithelial cell transition, and has a

striking inhibitory effect on invasiveness, extravasation, and metastasis

formation in mice. In cultured cells, TR & #946;1 abolishes anchorage-independent

growth and migration, blocks responses to epidermal growth factor, insulin-like

growth factor-I, and transforming growth factor & #946;, and regulates expression

of genes that play a key role in tumorigenicity and metastatic growth. The

receptor disrupts the mitogenic action of growth factors by suppressing

activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase and phosphatidylinositol

3-kinase signaling pathways that are crucial for cell proliferation and

invasiveness. Furthermore, increased aggressiveness of skin tumors is found in

genetically modified mice lacking TRs, further demonstrating the role of these

receptors as inhibitors of tumor progression. These results define a novel role

for the thyroid hormone receptor as a metastasis suppressor gene, providing a

starting point for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for the

treatment of human cancer. [Cancer Res 2009;69(2):501–9]

Thanks so much Deborah! I hadn't learned about iodine yet for breast cancer

and I can see that the balance of it is important. I'll work with my ND on

this to get me tested for iodine loading. I do want to be careful about it

as I donated a kidney to my Dad almost 4 years ago and so I need to be very

careful of the one I have left J

After reading about it on that site, I now wonder if bromide detox symptoms

were the reason that I had such major depression, lethargy and weakness for

3 weeks after my 28 day full body cleanse? I couldn't figure that one out.

That's a great web site you gave us a link to and I truly appreciate the

time you took reading through my " recovery plan " and making the suggestion

to add iodine to it. As it has been so far, I'm pretty good with the natural

sources now (asparagus 2 two 3 times a week, spinach every day, some kelp

and some seaweed here and there, as well as wild caught fish 3 to 4 times a

week). I will definitely get to work on having my levels assessed and get

supplementation if needed.

Many thanks,

Barbara
