Iodine in the diet is key to preventing prostate cancer, breast cancer and others. Here are two quotes from Dr. James Howenstine, MD.
1. “Iodine lack is known to be a factor in the development of breast and prostate cancer. Sixty patients with a variety of cancers were studied. All sixty patients were found to have serious iodine deficiency.”
2. “Iodine deficiency is a recognized risk factor in the development of cancer of the breast, prostate, and probably the ovary and endometrium.”
Other medical doctors know this. It does not take billions of dollars spent on ObamaCare to see that We The People get enough iodine in the diet to help prevent cancer, especially breast and prostate cancers.
Our diet has not always been so deficient in iodine. Forty years ago the food industry decided to remove iodine from baked goods and replace the iodine with bromine. Iodine and bromine appear similar to the thyroid gland and bromine easily binds to the thyroid gland’s receptors for iodine.
Bromine, however, is of no value to the thyroid gland unlike iodine and it inhibits the activity of iodine in the thyroid gland. Bromine also can cause impaired thinking and memory, drowsiness, dizziness and irritability.
This substitution of bromine for iodine has resulted in nearly universal deficiency of iodine in the American populace.
Iodine therapy helps the body eliminate fluoride, bromine, lead, cadmium, arsenic, aluminum and mercury.
Could this substitution of bromine for iodine have been carried out to increase diseases and thus create more need for pharmaceutical drugs?
