Iodine and prostate cancer

[lewicki]

Iodine seems to be important for autoimmune diseases. Are we missing something here?

[dhccpa]

In what way? I didn't understand your question.

[lewicki in reply to dhccpa]

How does it help our cancer treatments.

On a somewhat related topic I've heard that it is useful in resolving or preventing breast cysts and could help prevent breast cancer. Most doctors don't seem to be the least bit interested in supplements as contributors to health. Iodine supplementation, via iodized salt, has been happening for years to battle the obvious effects of iodine deficiency like goiter and even brain development.

So what happened with your Dupuytren's? Did iodine intake resolve it?

[pjoshea13 in reply to treedown]

Apart from the slightest dip in one of the life lines there is no indication I ever had it. Trigger finger now has normal functionality & there are no lumps in the palm.

Thanks my wife is getting it and a iodine deficiency is a high probability. Do you feel the iodine under the arm proved to be a accurate test in the end?

[pjoshea13 in reply to treedown]

When I started seeing an integrative medicine doc, he advised using Iodoral. Said it was the best way of getting an appropriate dose.

Thanks I found that already just curious if the iodine under the arm proved to be effective screening? Not sure if my wife will need convincing and have iodine on hand.

[pjoshea13 in reply to treedown]

Well, painting liquid iodine on inner arm certainly eliminated my deficiency. But for a maintenance dose, the oral Iodoral is more convenient.

Iodoral is described as being 'solid' Lugol's. Lugol's would be the best liquid choice IMO.

Best, -Patrick

[treedown in reply to pjoshea13]

Thanks I will have my wife swipe some on her inner upper arm just to see if it still there tomorrow and we will order some per recommendations above on Monday.

Thanks Patrick!

[lewicki in reply to pjoshea13]

Dr. Brownstein prescribes the Lugol's in a liquid dropper form.

[dhccpa in reply to pjoshea13]

He must own the company judging by the price! Ouch

[rfarley01 in reply to dhccpa]

My integrated medicine doctor I should use it in liquid dropper form. I put 6-8 drops in orange juice daily. He is happy with my labs.

"said" sorry....my mind dictates fast and gets ahead of typing fingers

I read Patrick's post relating to iodine / iodoral helping with Dupuytrens. I was suffering from Peyronies at the time and a xiaflex injection from my urologist, more than a year earlier, had failed to cure the problem. Knowing that xiaflex is used to treat both Dupuytrens and Peyronies I started taking iodoral. I had already been taking L acetyl Carnitine in hopes of it curing Peyronies. In about a month's time my Peyronies was cured. Thanks again, Patrick.

I have a small bottle of iodine that's been in my medicine cabinet for over 25 years. I just checked it out on EBAY and it's a collector's item... I'm going to call Sotheby's and have them place it on auction for me...........Keep posted.....(New Mercedes?)......

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Thank you, however because of defunding the police.... they've changed the 911 emergency telephone number to an unlisted one......

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

See below study of of promising case reports for iodine and cancer, alas not for prostate cancer.

Background: Iodine is a substance with a long history of medical application to human bodies. In addition, when targeting a tumor, the microenvironment is essential to improve the efficacy of cancer therapy. We attempted to examine the synergistic effect of colloidal iodine mainly on gastroenterological malignancies using low-dose-chemotherapy, hyperthermotherapy, and/or hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Materials and Methods: Colloidal iodine was administered to 12 patients with unresectable in stage IV have an outcome that is treated with palliative medicine. who had already been diagnosed with an incurable, intractable advanced neoplasm, including pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, colon cancer, and end-stage rectal cancer. The route of administration was oral for 5 patients, intravenous for 7 patients, and topical for 2 patients. The effect was estimated using a change of tumor markers or/and the findings of endoscopy or computed tomography.

Results: By each modality to evaluate the effect, the addition of iodine successfully reduced tumor size and inhibited the progression of complications in all cases, compared with cases in previous studies treated without iodine. We also confirmed that intravenous infusion was a safe route of administration without adverse effects.

Conclusions: In this pilot study, twenty patients with advanced cancer who received treatment with colloidal iodine in nanoparticle status successfully inhibited tumor progression and improved ADL without adverse effects. As a multidisciplinary approach for both the cancer itself and its microenvironment, the complementary use of colloidal iodine may increase the rate of improvement of cancer via a biomodulating mechanism. This formulations may be useful as one of the multidisciplinary therapeutic modalities and we expect outcomes from the further phase of clinical trials.

I will continue taking Lugol's Iodine prescribed by Dr. David Brownstein. Thanks for the reply.
