Supplemental Iodine Prevents and Cures Breast Cancer

Regardless of genetic disposition, diagnoses, or prognosis, women should be aware of  another option for breast cancer. That other option could be a good diet with supplemental iodine.

Exactly why iodine offers as  the other option for preventing breast cancer regardless of genetics is fully referenced
later in this article with lab studies and actual case reports.

Dr. David Brownstein, MD, could be called Dr. Iodine for all he’s done to inform others of the importance of iodine through interviews and his book Iodine: Why You Need It; Why You Can’t Live Without It. Dr. Mark Sircus, who has occasionally contributed articles to Natural News, constantly promotes bicarbonate of soda, magnesium, and iodine as more important and effective for health than most realize.

Now, Dr. Jeffrey Dach, MD, has grabbed the iodine talking stick, producing several international clinical, lab, and case study reports that demonstrate the efficacy of iodine ingestion for breast cancer.

Dr. Dach on Iodine and Cancer

Salt used to be iodized with elemental iodine to prevent goiter, but no more. So what little protection that offered has vanished. Dr. Dach notes that iodized salt is not sufficient for supplementing iodine.

Iodine’s RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) is 150 mcg (micrograms) per day. Dr. Guy Abraham, who initially mentored Dr. Brownstien, insists we should be taking in 12.5 mg  (milligrams) of elemental iodine daily. This is 100 times greater than our RDA.

It’s also the estimated iodine per individual intake from seaweed and seafood among Japan’s population. Japan has the lowest rates of thyroid, prostate, and breast cancer. Some might argue that the Japanese get their iodine from food, but iodine supplements are unsafe.

Well, the FDA recommends 165 mg of iodine to prevent thyroid cancer in the event of a radiation emergency, and iodine has been used medicinally with even higher doses in the past.

Speaking of thyroid cancer, there has been an upsurge of thyroid nodules, leading to complete removal of thyroid glands to determine whether the nodules are cancerous. Some biopsy! Even if no cancer is detected, the person is sentenced to a lifetime of  synthetic prescription thyroid hormones. Iodine can prevent that unhealthy scenario.

In addition to preventing some cancers, there are several studies and actual case histories demonstrating iodine’s ability to cure breast cancer presented by Dr. Dach in the Sources for More Information section below.

Lab Studies and Breast Cancer Case Histories with Iodine

Instead of preemptive mastectomy (breast removal), here’s that option for stemming genetically predisposed breast cancer. Iodine has been determined to actually alter breast cancer associated gene expressions. It turns off cancer promoting genes and turns on genes that promote cancer cell apoptosis or cellular destruction. Here’s the study abstract (summary).

Another study proves that large iodine intake does not adversely affect thyroid hormone production or quality. The researchers did this to allay concerns in the medical profession about potential downsides for using iodine against breast cancer. Downsides don’t prevent using chemo and radiation though. There’ s lots of money for oncologists and Big Pharma with that!

Dr. Dach lists many international in vivo studies using rats, epidemiological human surveys, and in vitro (petri dish) lab studies demonstrating the efficacy and safety of ingesting elemental iodine for cancerous tumors. All of these studies, with a few actual case histories, are available in Dr. Jeffrey Dach’s articles sourced below.

Dr. Guy Abraham developed a product called Idoral. And Dr. Edward Group, DC, ND, lists four types of iodine supplements that vary in bio-availability: Nascent iodine, Lugol’s solution, potassium iodide, and transformative nano-colloidal detoxified iodine.

The cancer industry’s willful denial of iodine for breast cancer is not because it’s ineffective and dangerous. It’s because supplemental iodine can’t be patented and sold at huge profits to fearfully  intimidated breast cancer patients.
