Re: Fibrocystic one-two punch

[Guest guest]

In researching on the net, I found a site about breast cysts:

http://www.breastcancer.org/symptoms/testing/mammograms/mamm_show.jsp

Calcifications

Calcifications are tiny flecks of calcium — like grains of salt — in

the soft tissue of the breast...usually can't be felt, but they

appear on a mammogram.

Cysts

Unlike cancerous tumors which are solid, cysts are fluid-filled

masses in the breast.

Fibroadenomas

Fibroadenomas are movable, solid, rounded lumps made up of normal

breast cells. While not cancerous, these lumps may grow. And any

solid lump that's getting bigger is usually removed to make sure that

it's not a cancer. Fibroadenomas are the most common kind of breast

mass, especially in young women.

******************

My solid cysts are not tiny flecks, lol, so I am assuming that they

are fibroadenomas. Does iodine help these to shrink?

Thanks,

Dianne

Lynne,

for what it's worth to your documentation...

I have had great sucess with using Lugol's to resolve several areas

of localized myxedema (pooled area of mucin...from trauma...can occur

in those with TSH receptor antibodies)

I'm still working on one area...and tomorrow will use progesterone on

this area too...based on the info you posted.

What i have found is that the Lugol's does several things:

It actually dissolves some of the mucinous areas - allowing the skin

to absorb it? - and I suspect this action works on cysts in a similar

fashion.

It loosen some mucinous areas from the surrounding area and expels it

via the skin.

It works from the bottom up - so regeneration of the area occurs (Dr.

derry talks about this)

I've just been amazed at this use for Lugol's...

I've done research on treatments for localized myxedema - and other

than hydrocortisone cream and retin-a - that has had limited results -

there just isn't a good treatment - other than high dose steroids.

Which reminds me...I think physiological HC has a big place in skin

disorder...including cysts and such...

anyway - it's a shame that mainstream medicine wouldn't even listen

to this (I tried with two dermatologists- no interest)...just a pat

on the head basically with them saying " glad you found something that

works " ....

Hello. I'd love to try the Lugol's method below to paint the Lugol's on my parathyroid cyst. I am currently taking 50 mgs of Iodoral -- can I continue that and still do the Lugol's? And do I need to dilute the Lugol's? THANKS! Annie

I'm not taking Iodoral....so don't really know...

but if you aren't having any problems with the 50 mg. Iodoral...my

guess would be that a few drops of Lugol's transdermally isn't going to

be a problem.

I don't dilute the Lugol's....and usually " paint " twice a day...but it

can be quite drying to the skin after a few days...i've just used

vaseline rubbed on the area in between " painting " to keep some

moisturization going on.

Hi Cindi,

I'm new to this group and still trying to read all the information.

I am wondering how to tell if the swollen areas on my ankles/feet

(these have been like this for years and seem to be permanent)is

myxedema? I applied Lugol's to one ankle tonight after reading this

post. Thought I would try one at time to see if I can tell a

difference. I have been reading about myxedema but still am not sure

if that is what I have. Do you know of any good articles on this

subject?

By the way, this is all very interesting. Glad to find this group.

oh....this may well be pretibial myxedema in this area....not quite

sure where you're describing...

below your knee too?

very common to graves folks...but hashi's folks can get it.

in fact i was quite surprised I didn't, given that i developed some

localized myxedema.

you may want to google " pretibial myxedema " for some images...

This can go from bad to worse...as in just plaques...to a nodular

form....

hydrocortisone is in the literature as a treatment...and i found that

HC really helped resolve some areas i had.

Cindi,

I found some pics. Don't think this is what I have! That is just

horrible. What I have is just swelling, no lesions or anything like

that. It does ache especially if I am on my feet much at all. I did

have hashi's and don't know if I still have antibodies, but went to

lab today to have that tested along with aldosterone, renin, ferritn,

B12, and thyroid tests. They don't do the iodine loading test at

this lab. Wanted to have that done too.

No, not below knee, just at ankles.

So you just use the HC cream on this? Iodine as well?

Thanks for everything.

I've used both (alternating days)...with very good results on resolving

mucin accumulation.

Pulse steroid therapy is also used for this.

good luck!
