RE: Iodine and radiation treatment for cancer

[Guest guest]

A friend's daughter is going through radiation treatment for uterine

cancer. Since iodine helps the body get rid of the bad effects of

radiation, would it be a good thing to take during the

radiation treatments? Or would it be better to wait until the

treatments are over and then use iodine to help the body heal? I do

not have much faith in the current medical protocol to treat cancer

(radiation and chemo).

This is mostly out of curiosity, since I doubt I will be able to

actually suggest this to them.

I shouldn’t

speak out here because I’m not all that informed but I had a lot of

Radiation a few years ago to treat Cancer and I think I’ve paid for it

since then.

Radiation (even

from the Sun) causes Oxygen Free Radicals to form and these can do a lot of

damage for years to come.

I think

of Iodine as an Antioxidant but here is what the hospital had to say about

taking any.

1.

Do not

take any antioxidant supplements when you are receiving radiation therapy or

chemotherapy and for a week after your treatments have finished.

Hopefully someone else who knows more

about Iodine will chime in here.
