prostate enlargement and cancer are due to iodine deficiency.
“prostate enlargement and cancer are due to iodine deficiency.”
Do you have any links where I could read about this?
Thanks
I'd never heard that before, but it definitely rung a bell about something I've experienced over the past few months.
My PSA has always been very good, in the lower quarter of the normal range. But I had experienced some prostate enlargement in recent years. Six or eight months ago I began to experience waking at night for trips to the bathroom. At first only once, and then more until it had progressed to three and four times some nights late last year and early this year. Very difficult to get a decent night's sleep.
Also, two or three years ago, I started buying pink, Himalayan salt and gradually used it more and more often. Of course, it is not iodized. I probably replaced about half my salt usage with it. I also bought a bottle of a liquid iodine supplement which I used occasionally, but nowhere near daily.
Then, six or eight weeks ago, I decided to start using the liquid iodine daily and have keep it up since. Three or four weeks ago, those three and four wake ups per night began to decrease until now I'm only waking up only once per night and at times not at all.
Until I read your comment last night, I'd never heard that iodine deficiency could be related to prostate problems. One anecdote doesn't prove anything, but I unwittingly conducted an experiment and those three or four wake ups per night have been almost eliminated after a few weeks of daily iodine supplementation.
I've just been using the recommended three drops for the MDR, but doubled it today to see if that might get even better results.
