Fibrocyctic breast disease. by jfh 3 mon

 

The incidence of fibrocystic breast disease in American women was 3 percent in

the 1920s. Today, 90 percent of women have this disorder, manifested by

epithelial hyperplasia, apocrine gland metaplasia, fluid-filled cysts, and

fibrosis. Six million American women with fibrocystic disease have moderate to

severe breast pain and tenderness that lasts more than 6 days during the

menstrual cycle.

 

In animal studies, female rats fed an iodine-free diet develop fibrocystic

changes in their breasts, and iodine in its elemental form (I2) cures it.

 

Russian researchers first showed, in 1966, that iodine effectively relieves

signs and symptoms of fibrocystic breast disease. Vishniakova and Murav 19eva

treated 167 women suffering from fibrocystic disease with 50 mg KI during the

intermenstrual period and obtained a beneficial healing effect in 71 percent (it

Then Ghent and coworkers, in a study

us & list_uids=8221402 & query_hl=1 & itool=pubmed_docsum)

 

published in the Canadian Journal of Surgery in 1993, likewise found that iodine

relieves signs and symptoms of fibrocystic breast disease in 70 percent of their

patients. This report is a composite of three clinical studies, two case series

done in Canada in 696 women treated with various types of iodine, and one in

Seattle. The Seattle study, done at the Virginia Mason Clinic, is a randomized,

double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 56 women designed to compare 3 135 mg

of elemental iodine (I2) to a placebo (an aqueous mixture of brown vegetable dye

with quinine). Investigators followed the women for six months and tracked

subjective and objective changes in their fibrocystic disease.

 

A statistical analysis

of the Seattle study (enlarged to include 92 women) was done, which shows that

iodine has a highly statistically significant beneficial effect on fibrocystic

disease (P < 0.001). Iodine reduced breast tenderness, nodularity, fibrosis,

turgidity, and number of macroscysts, the five parameters in a total breast

examination score that a physician blinded to what treatment the woman was

taking, iodine or placebo, measured. This 36 page report,

was submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1995 seeking its

approval to carry out a larger randomized controlled clinical trial on iodine

for treating fibrocystic breast disease. It declined to approve the study,

telling its lead investigator, Dr. Donald Low, " iodine is a natural substance,

not a drug. " But the FDA has now decided to approve a similar trial sponsored by

Symbollon Pharmaceuticals. This company is enrolling 175 women in a phase III

trial, registered on

participating in this study should call its sponsor, Jack Kessler, Ph.D., at

==========================

 

Iodine was used for a wide variety of ailments after its discovery in 1811 up

until the mid-1900s, when thyroidologists warned that " excess " amounts of iodine

might adversely affect thyroid function. It is effective in gram amounts for

treating various dermatologic conditions, chronic lung disease, fungal

infestations, tertiary syphilis, and even arteriosclerosis. The Nobel laureate

Dr. Albert Szent Györgi (1893 131986), the physician who discovered vitamin C,

writes: " When I was a medical student, iodine in the form of KI was the

universal medicine. Nobody knew what it did, but it did something and did

something good. We students used to sum up the situation in this little rhyme:

 

If ye don 19t know where, what, and why

Prescribe ye then K and I "

 

The standard dose of potassium iodide given was 1 gram, which contains 770 mg of

iodine.

Diabetes by jfh 3 mon

From " Orthoiodosupplementation in a primary care practice " , June 2005, by

Jorge D. Flechas.

 

" We have since done a study of 12 diabetics, and in six cases we were able to

wean all of these patients off of medications for their diabetes and were able

to maintain a hemoglobin AIC of less than 5.8 with the average random blood

sugar of less than 100. To date, these patients continue to have excellent

control of their Type 2 diabetes. The range of daily iodine intake was from

50-100 mg/day. All diabetic patients were able to lower the total amount of

medications necessary to control their diabetes. Two of the 12 patients were

controlled with the use of iodine plus one medication. Two patients have control

of diabetes with iodine plus two medications. One patient had control of her

diabetes with three medications plus 50 mg iodine. The one insulin dependent

diabetic was able to reduce the intake of Lantus insulin from 98 units to 44

units per day within a period of a few weeks.

 

In the Type 1 diabetics that we have been following, we have noted that if

C-peptide is measurable, this would suggest that the individual is making their

own insulin. I have been able to help this group of patients to get off insulin

or to greatly reduce the amount they need for good glucose control with

Iodoral[R] at 4 tablets/day (50 mg). If C-peptide is absent, then we feel there

is no insulin being produced, and we have not been able to help this particular

group of patients to get off their insulin. We have been able to help these

patients lower the total amount of insulin needed to control their glucose. "
