Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Hi Cindi, I'm getting a warning message on this site . . . so I won't go there. Could you tell me more about iodine and thyroid? My massage therapist tells me that, if you paint iodine on clean skin, and it disappears quickly, you may have a problem. Is this true?

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Cindi, My brother had thyroid cancer when he was still in his thirties . . . He had radiation therapy and has done well with Synthroid. I recently had a thyroid scan . . . No follow-up was recommended. I think I need to investigate it further.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 My thyroid nodules were determined to be " normal goiter tissue " . . . That was over 13 years ago. There were four nodules at the time. Nothing has been done since my recent scan. There was no attempt to count the nodules this time. . . But there are many . . . I watched the scan being done.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Check out this information . . . . http://www.newstarget.com/015232.html I'm using this product in an effort to prevent a reoccurance of breast cancer. . . As compared with prescription meds, it makes one feel better! . . . I feel as though I'm playing a game of " You Bet Your Life " . . . Let's hope it's as good as they say!

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Cindi, I don't have a dx YET! . . . I am going to pressure my doctor for a further workup with an endo. I have a host of tests coming up for my post-cancer appointment at UAMS . . . I'd like to get all my care transfered to them - they have a Center for Aging that I'd love to get signed up with. IMHO, one should be able to stay active and productive for many more years than most people do - if issues were addressed rather than ignored. . . . By addressing, I mean by identifying problems and treating them with wholistic measures rather than drugs. If their emphasis is on drugs, I'm not interested. My brother is 65 now . . . I don't know which other medications he's taking. . . if any. He believes his thyroid cancer was due to working out doors in an area that had considerable fallout during the bomb testing days . . . and drinking raw milk during that time. His wife told me that there were three types of cancer found in his thyroid. Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Cindi What explant would do is to take some of the stress off your immune system so it wouldn't be dealing with so many issues at one time. We've seen numerous women who's autoimmune issues have either improved dramatically, or completely disappeared after explant . . . Too many for it to be a coincidence. Unfortunately thyroid issues seem to be more resistant. However, even those can improve. Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Wow! . . . Low T3 and breast cancer? . . . Interesting! . . . I'll definitely bring it up with the oncologist at UAMS . . . They're a research center and may be interested - on the other hand??? We'll see! Can you point me to the low T3/breast cancer connection?

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Thanks Penni, I'll try that . . . My massage therapist told me to put iodine on my tummy . . . It was gone in one hour! Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
