I'm reopening another thread. I have searched this board and haven't yet found another thread dealing specifically with iodine and bc. My GP brought this up when I talked about Ruth's BC last time, as well as dealing with a family member's auto-immune disease.
Does anyone know of more facts relating to this topic or recent research? Is there info on the board that I missed?
There is a book she recommended that I am finally getting around to purchasing with intent to read:"Iodine, Why you Need it" by Dr. David Brownstein. There's another available on Amazon that directly relates iodine and bc, but I have no idea whether it's good, valid, or not. Seems to tie in with the whole endrocrinology thing that AA and others have discussed. I am curious also, as I read that iodine may cure fibrocystic breast disease and I know that natural progesterone also addresses this. If it's true, there must be a correlation of some sort. But I'll try to keep the NP to the other thread open on that topic until a connection does present itself.
Iodine anyone?
Any input appreciated.
Thanks as always,
Terri
