I use 2drops 2.2% Lugol's and can taste a flavor when adding to 200ml water. Not sure if tasting iodine's flavor indicates a need the way salt is craved when deficient.thanks I enjoy your podcast as well, esp. your interview with Dr galland.cheers.
First, this study only addresses iodine with hormone positive BC. What about hormone negative?
Second, I am so confused about thyroid and BC. I had TNBC and am taking ND to raise low T4 and T3. But while I read in books and hear on blogs that hypothyroid is associated with higher rate of BC, all of the studies I can find say the opposite, that higher thyroid is associated with more growth and metastasis. Some say only T4 is the problem, not T3. Others show correlations not causations. I am really working hard this year to avoid metastasis and need to know if thyroid replacement is a good idea or not. Do you have this knowledge (with references) that I could get through consulting?
Iodine erradicates breast cancer stem cells for all breast cancers. Can't give personalized medical advice here. If you care to be a patient, and outside of Naples I only see a few these days, you can go to drlindseyberkson.com and click on consult and see how I work. I am not a primary care doc on telemedicine but a consultant. best wishes dlb
Is there a way to test if one is deficient in iodine? The reason I ask is I know of one practicing functional endocrinologist who warns against iodine supplementation, Dr Alan Christianson
I do not agree with what Dr. C says about iodine. That is health care. Based partly on science and then also opinion. There is a loading urine standardized test but I don't do that anymore. The Asian diet gets huge amounts more of iodine than we do and has less hormonally driven cancers and even thyroid dx which is all changing as diet changes. Dr. C was also a huge advocate for the vaccines and against those who spoke out. Opinions! Perhaps read my substack on that. Warmly dlb
ps if you did present iodine tests on Asian older diet consumers, they would come out higher than what our "reference" ranges, which are NOT ideal, are set at.
Would iodine patches be useful? Some people have trouble with oral iodine. I personally love the taste of iodine added to my water. I did have small firm dense breasts but I think it was youthful gland activity and perhaps muscle. Breasts became less dense with age. Never had fibroids. I think the dense breast tissue is a boondoggle.
Unfortunately I missed the session , do you or will you have it available?
it is available for my paid members in the PRO level. Sorry this is not a public group.
best to you. dlb
it was for a paid group. sorry.

And I see Biotics Research does have Iodide supplant, would that be a substitute for Iodine? Mthx, Sharon
it's not a substitute it is iodine. yes. dlb
yes it's iodine.

iodine supplements have no taste i don't know about iodine patches.
Hi there, I am 72 and just had a full body MRI for pre emptive purposes and it does show I have dense breast tissue...
