Some might argue that the Japanese get their iodine from food, and that iodine supplements are unsafe.
Well, the FDA recommends 165 mcg of iodine supplementation 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 nodule detection in mainstream medicine, leading to partial or 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 supplementation can prevent that unhealthy scenario also.
Iodine Supplements and Cancer Research and Case Studies
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 suicide.
If you want scientific evidence for that, here it is.
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.
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.
Dr. Jeffrey Dach’s data is featured here with case studies.
