Breast Cancer and Iodine Deficiency
Iodine is critical for breast tissue function and has been shown to be lower in cancerous breast tissue of women with breast cancer.1 I suspect that iodine deficiency is a significant contributor to breast cancer, and after we complete our study of Natural Therapies for Infertility the next study planned by our foundation is to add high-dose iodine to the therapy protocol of women with breast cancer. In the interim, I strongly encourage the use of iodine every day for all women with breast cancer (along with CoEnzyme Q10 at 200-400 mg a day).
I also strongly encourage those with breast cancer or breast cysts to read an excellent book called, simply, "Iodine" by Dr. David Brownstein (available at Dr. Brownstein's website).
