Most Breast Cancers caused by Iodine Deficiency
9/7/11 | me

Posted on 09/07/2011 4:03:03 PM PDT by spacejunkie01

I see today that Andrea Mitchell has breast cancer. I read threads here and at other sources from time to time of others newly diagnosed or struggling with it.

What you won't hear most of the medical community tell you is, breast cancer, thyroid cancer, other reproductive cancers, including prostate, are tied directly to iodine deficiency. Same applies for breast and uterine fibroids and enlarged prostate glands. As well as goiter or nodules on the thyroid.

I felt compelled to start a thread on this as we ALL need iodine and we are almost ALL deficient in it. Iodine is a crucial mineral, just as magnesium and calcium are but we get very little in our food supply and there are competing toxins (bromine, flouride, chlorine) that keep us from absorbing the little we get.

Go to www.breastcancerchoices.org for more information on the relationship between iodine deficiency and breast cancer (as well as a place to buy Iodoral) and check out Dr. David Brownstein's books and info and go to Optimox for more information.

Thanks for the post :) If we were all dependent on the MD’s in the medical community to lead us to health, we’d all be in REALLY sorry shape.

It’s actually a shame that those that have the degree don’t have the knowledge to back them up on healing people instead of just treating symptoms with medications.

I have to be careful what I recommend to folks because I took an Oath not to hurt people. How many Internet Experts have done that?

Good point. If you had started out by saying that I would have respected it. But what you started out with was something that I took as an implication that no one but an MD should be sharing what they knew about nutrients. And that would be condescending elitism, which I find repugnant.

Anyway, I wish we had MDs as intelligent and well-educated as you, no matter how arrogant, around where I live. But we don't.

I didn’t mean to sound arrogant. I just meant to point out someone was giving medical advice that didn’t have the education to understand the potential impact of what they were doing. You can hurt folks.

*You can hurt folks.*

Doctors are well represented in the “hurting folks” club. They kill more people in the US every year than guns.

The doctors I went to school with have likely forgotten most if not all of the biochem stuff they had to memorize in premed.

But I bet they are up on the latest investments, drug company bonuses, and medicare reimbursement rates.

I am not a doctor or even an internet med expert, but I do appreciate info such as this on supplements. Today the patient is the one that has to run and oversee their own healthcare. Doctors may swear to do no harm, but they don’t swear to help or heal.

Oh, and in my line of work, I don’t get to bury my mistakes, I have to fix them at my expense.

I agree with you on this much, today consumers need to inform themselves. I tell all my patients “the only thing I sell is advice, you make ALL the decisions”.
