iodine increasing BRCA1 activity

[Guest guest]

hi,

I just read DR.Brownstein book and at page 71 he says that " researchers reported

taht the combination of iodine/iodide has been shwon to alter gene expression in

estrogene-responsive breast cancer cells. They also reported that iodine

increased BRCA1 activity. BRCA1 is a gene that modulates estrogen activity in

the breast " .

Well, my dr. wants me to do a BRCA1 test and I don't quite understand what Dr

Brownstein means with iodine indreasing BRCA1 activity... is this a bad thing or

a good thing?

thank you for your help!
