RE: chemotherapy and iodine treatments

I don't know the official answer to that question, but I can't imagine why not. The only problem I might see is that with chemo you are doing a lot of detox (hopefully) and iodine would add to the detox burden. I did chemo and took lots of supplements at the objection of my oncologist. Not that everyone should do that, but you must do what feels right to you and your body. Good luck.

I have mentioned this at least 2 times and have gotten not one response from anyone.My husband is on chemo and sometimes you can get neuthropy ( aching cold in feet, hands etc..within 45 minutes of taking the iodine it goes away...when it returns he just takes more.. his method is painting and maybe that is why I get not too much feed back but never the less it is true.

Peggy,

I think you haven't had a direct response because you seem to be

reporting on a use of iodine that is working out for your husband

and that you are both pleased with. That is, you seem to have no

question about it and need no response.

Re: the immediate warming effects of iodine, at least three of us

have reported the same thing recently. A runny nose? Yes, that

does sound like detox and if it's very profuse and uncomfortable to

deal with, then it's reasonable to use it as a red flag to back off

on the iodine.

Val, Barb and Peggy: Iodine would always be helpful to support your body, because chemo is poisoning your system. I wouldn’t say chemo is detoxing, I would say you have to detox FROM chemo. Iodine is nourishing your body, helping proper cell life, and detoxing the bad stuff. I wouldn’t say it is burdening at all. Peggy, you told us statements, and I took them as great information. I guess my only thought to add is that the runny nose is not enough iodine, it is a detox symptom, and you are just pushing out toxins.

I am a new member here. Have been low thyroid nearly all my life, but my tests are "normal". Have done lots of research on the net, ( the doctors hate that), and found that chemo and radiation seriously deplete the body of iodine.

Also, would strongly suggest that you research and get some Reishi mushroom into him. Here is an excerpt from a page off the net.

Ganoderma (Reishi) can be used as a supplement during chemotherapy or radiotherapy to reduce side-effects such as fatigue, loss of appetite, hair loss, bone marrow suppression and risk of infection. It can also reduce the toxic and side effects and mitigate the pains during chemotherapy and radiotherapy, in particular to cancer patients at terminal stages for prolonging their lives and improving their living quality.

It is an excellent detoxifier, doctors in the Orient use it in conjunction with chemo because it makes the chemo work better, and stops the chemo from poisoning the patient. It supports the liver. They also prescribe it afterwards, because it builds the immune system back up and prevents the cancer from returning.

I have been on ganoderma from GanoExcel for about 5 years and will never go off it. Have seen lots of varied human conditions respond wonderfully to it.

I replied to the group, but got thinking the moderators may not allow it because it isn't strictly iodine, so have replied to you personally.

I am a new member here. Have been low thyroid nearly all my life, but my tests are "normal". Have done lots of research on the net, (the doctors hate that), and found that chemo and radiation, besides destroying the immune system when cancer is an immune system deficiency, makes no sense to me, seriously deplete the body of iodine.

So, I would think that what you are doing is right.

Also, would strongly suggest that you research and get some Reishi mushroom into him. Have attached a page off I copied off the net. Can send you more info if you are interested.

I have been on ganoderma from GanoExcel for about 5 years and will never go off it. Have seen lots of varied human conditions respond wonderfully to it. A friend with skin cancer on his cheekbones, had them itch terribly when he first started taking it, itch went away in a few days, noticed in about three weeks that his cheeks were normal. I have fibromyalgia, and it has helped me enormously. I was having three days of migraines a week, haven't had one since I've been on it. Depression is gone, much less fatigue, no crashes, gave me my life back.

I was prescribed Reishi by a chinese doctor, but it did nothing for me, but the GanoExcel Reishi is awesome.

I wish your husband success in his battle. Sincerely, Donna

That's what I meant. Guess I didn't say it very well. Hopefully, your body detoxes after chemo. Sorry it wasn't clear.

I don't have a definitive answer either but logic says it would be a good thing since it creates apoptosis of abnormal cells and that is what cancer is as well as what chemo will produce through the damage it does in the body.

Here is the list of detox symptoms from the breast cancer choices website. I think most iodine doctors agree that it is really hard for anyone to achieve saturation. The runny nose from saturation is coming from the doctors who are not well versed in iodine.
