Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Hi and All,I've been lurking here just soaking up all the information you guys dish out for a long time now. My hubby started on OPC on May 15 but has been doing as much of Tony's protocol as I can get him to do since April and he is doing fine. As I told , there's not much on alternative here in the Philippines so we are pretty much on our own and this group has helped me a lot. Please tell Tony that I hope he gets well soon and I know how bad a back pain can be. I did the rounds of doctors, tests, chiropractors & chinese acupuncture treatments which helped some but didn't really fix me. This one unconventional doctor tried Cold Laser Light treatment on me which helped some but what helped me most was his suggestion that I take mega doses of Vit. B1, B6 & B12. From my researches I also tried Digestive Enzymes and this combination together with some stretching exercises has actually fixed me up. Hope this helps some. I need your help. I want to start Charlie on Iodoral 50mg (iodine) which I just received but want him to have a test to check his iodine levels before he starts, What is this test called? It it a urine or a blood test? I've checked with the hospital laboratories here and they don't know what I am talking about and tell me to ask my doctor for a specific type of thyroid test. I've seen some Test Kits online but how long is it going to take me to send his urine back and forth from here. Thanks...any help you can give me will be much appreciated.Mitzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Hi Mitzie, Thank you for your good wishes and suggestions and I will let Tony know. he is already taking Digestive Enzymes. Yes, most certainly you are helping. Every suggestion helps. I am glad to hear that your husband is doing fine. As far as I know, the only way to test iodine levels is by a thyroid test given by a doctor. I am not familiar with any urine tests or kits. However, people with cancer, and actually a great majority of the population, are iodine deficient not realizing it. What I would suggest is that you follow the iodine recommendations found in Tony's Protocol. You will see reference made to Lugol's Iodine. Iodoral is Lugol's in tablet form. I will post it below: Iodine (see above) is an absolute must for anyone fighting cancer, especially breast cancer. Many people have beaten cancer with iodine supplementation alone and it is a supremely powerful item to include in any cancer-fighting protocol. notes on iodine and selenium: Many people who take iodine and selenium take far too little for maximum therapeutic benefit. Both elemental iodine and potassium iodine should be taken and the total amount of iodine should be 100mg or more, perhaps beginning at 50mg and working up. Magnascent is a good form or elemental iodine. Lugols is also widely used. Since Lugols contains both elemental iodine and potassium iodine, the total amount of iodine one can take with Lugols is 300 mg. Selenium MUST be taken with iodine in order for iodine to be effective. The best form of supplemental selenium for fighting cancer appears to be methylselenocysteine. The most common form of supplemental selenium is selenomethionine whose general proteins have no anticancer activity. Another form, sodium selenite is more frequently metabolized to the toxic metabolite hydrogen selenide (H2Se), which does have anticancer effects but is more toxic than selenomethionine. Its primary mode of killing cancer cells (and at high levels, normal cells) is through the process of cell necrosis. Cell necrosis provokes inflammation and may kill healthy cells along with cancer cells. The recommended form of selenium, methyselenocysteine is found naturally in some vegetables including garlic, brassicas, leeks, and onions, especially when these are grown in high selenium soil. Methylselenocysteine is easily converted to methylselenol which has been demonstrated to be an effective anticancer form of selenium. Rather than killing cancer cells by necrosis, methylselenol kills cancer cells through apoptosis. Apoptosis is an orderly process of cellular self-destruction that does not provoke inflammatory responses. Methylselenol is also known to inhibit angiogenesis in beginning cancer tumors. Angiogenesis, the creation of new blood vessels, is necessary for cancer cells to grow into a tumor. For cancer prevention, doses of 200 to 400 mcg of methylselenocysteine are generally considered safe without medical supervision. Nutritionally-oriented physicians may use as much as 900 to 2,000 mcg selenium from methylselenocysteine daily as part of a comprehensive cancer treatment protocol.
