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.
seafood, kelp. these are the main things but again, because there are competing sources e have to supplement with it.

I’ve done massive due diligence on this and magnesium. If you want to dismiss it I don’t have a problem with that.
exactly. Good salt is great for you. The chloride in the salt attaches to the toxins and removes them from your kidneys.
and I kid you not, if you drop a 1/2 tsp of good salt in water and drink it down (then follow with 16 oz or so of clean water) you will get the best ‘lift’ to your spirits as the salt is so good for your adrenal glands.
Thanks. I just read that dairy products are a good source for it as well.
I must tell my brother this since we are both at the age when the problems start. He’s a health food junkie...very very health conscious.

According to nationmaster.com (whoever they are) Iceland ranks number one. Japan ranks 26th.
Where are we on that?
Sadly, I am deathly allergic to shellfish (proteins) and iodine.
I am doomed. Sigh.
and both are low most likely due to their high intake of seafood and kelp. Iodine promotes what’s called apoptosis, which is the natural death of cells. Cancer cells don’t die, they multiply. Iodine makes the cells die a natural death.
I’ll point something else out about magnesium which is a crucial mineral. It makes 350+ other things click into place in your body when you are getting enough. Calcium MUST have enough magnesium with it to dissolve. We are all very deficient in mag as well and a series of symptoms of that are ‘calcifications’ in your veins (plaque), asthma, breast calcifications, kidney stones, gallbladder stones, etc etc.
I would bet big money you’re not but don’t take my advice. Just hear me out.
Iodine is SUCH an effective detox that the “symptoms” of allergy to iodine or shellfish are actually detox symptoms. Dr. Brownstein fleshes this out as well. If you happen to take iodine or shellfish, do the salt in water and see if it doesn’t go away.
Please remember; iodine is CRUCIAL for life. There is no way you are allergic to it.
Yup!
Without salt, the sodium-potassium pumps on the cells won’t work. That means even if you are getting enough potassium, it won’t get into the cells where it is needed.
The potassium-sodium gradient inside versus outside of cells is part of the mix that sustains the electrical charge across the cell membranes.
That drives the movement of materials into-out of the cells and keeps them operating and youthful.

Once it kicks in, your only hope will be to figure out how to keep yourself healthy, because the government will want you to die rather than cost them money.
I actually found a recipe that combines yogurt and seaweed. I’ve thougth about making it and posting it on my blog. LOL!
I’ve been interested in nutrition and alternative medicines for a number of years. What salt do you like?
I like Redmond’s Real Salt
So you are a strong advocate for enhancing apoptosis?
