Re: Iodine and thyroid ca.

[Guest guest]

Hi Kindred,

Perhaps you could take some tyrosine and selenium which help the thyroid

(together with iodine) in making thyroxine. 500 mg of tyrosine and 200

micros of selenium will do the trick. You must, however get iodine from

some source whether is kelp, liquid iodine or whatever. Tell your

physician that regardless of whether he may feel that excess iodine may

contribute to cancer growth, you still need iodine to make the hormone.

Of course he may want you to take the hormone!

Best of luck

Iodine because he said it encourages thyroid cancer to grow. He even

recommended that I stop eating seaweed which is one of my favorite foods!!

Which is true??!!

I swear the tumor actually got larger. It's based on theory anyway I think, and

almost nobody out there has tried it unless they had Hachimoto's which I don't.

conventional treatment that includes radioactive iodine ablation - high doses of

iodine in your system will not allow for that.

protocol is not available. Some people shrank their nodules, but they did not

know if it was thyca or benign.

good advice from them - take your med in doses throughout the day. I split a

pill in two. Others split in more parts. That got rid of my HYPERsymptoms.
