Dr. Wright Has citations to Benjamin Eskin who did much of the very special work showing that iodine is very import.ant to those who have fibrocystic breast disease. (FBD) He also discussed the work of Ghent at Queens College in Ontario who rounded up 700 women who had FBD. He prescribed iodine. Ghent reported a very significant reduction in FBD in approx 75% of the women treated with Iodine and he was simply having them swallow it.
Another study Dr. Wright reported was by Dr. John Meyers who went around the country lecturing on trace element work and FBD. In his seminars he would have someone bring in their worse case of FBD. |
|
In his demonstration Dr. Meyers had members of t.he audience palpate her breast to prove they had someone who had rock bard, very sore breasts. Dr. Meyers would simply apply iodine. He took a swab and painted Iodine up and down inside the vaginal mucosa and the cervix. Within 5 minutes he would give an IV injection of magnesium chloride. Then in 30 minutes to I hour later everyone was invited back to palpate the breast again and much to everyone's amazement. the rock hardness was gone and the breasts Were softer and much less painful.
Dr. Meyers developed this procedure by working with beagles who had FBD and breast cancer. He found that beagles who had their ovaries removed and had FBD did not respond to this treatment. Beagles who had FBD who did not have their ovaries removed did respond to this treatment.
When anyone asked Dr. Meyers why did the iodine have to go in the vagina and cervix he would say that it appears that one has to have a functional set of ovaries to get this to work as well as it should. He stated that (although he may not have the research to back this up) the ovaries actually process the iodine into
di-ioto to tyrosine. He said that the ovaries were the second most productive glands for making di-ioto tyrosine in the body after the thyroid.
Dr. Meyers believed that it was actually the di-ioto tyrosine that was doing the work. It is almost as if persons with FBD are like just sponges for iodine. Dr. Wright reported one woman that he just rubbed iodine on the breasts and that worked when nothing else did. In fact the iodine settled down the FBD.
Drs. Gaby and Wright used 2-300 mg orally (2-300 mg iodide is approx equal to 2-3 mg of iodine depending on the iodine you choose to use) along with at least 2-300 mg magnesium. In addition they added what Dr. Gaby refers to as the primrose path, namely, primrose or other GLA containing materials, Vit B6, Zinc, Vit E, in an effort to alter prostic gland metabolism.
The "primrose path" seems to augment the iodine and magnesium treatment.

Iodine supplements relieve painful, swollen breasts. Family Practice News December 1, 1986. Of 588 women with fibrocystic breast disease treated with iodized casein, 43% had complete remission of symptoms, while about half had some residual pain and fibrosis. 172 women from this group and an additional 143 previously uncreated women received elemental iodine. In previously untreated women, 72% were asymptomatic and 27.5% were somewhat improved after 4 months. |
The response rate was similar in those who had had a partial improvement with iodized casein. 75% of the women had a reduction in breast size, ranging from I/14 to 2 cup sizes. 12% had a transient increase in breast pain, usually 3-6 weeks after treatment had begun, lasting 1-3 weeks, and coinciding with the decrease in breast size.

In a series of histologic studies, iodine deficiency was found to enhance responsiveness of rat breast tissue to injections of estrogen or testosterone. Breast changes in iodine deficient rats were clearly distinguishable from those induced by sex hormones in hypothyroid or euthyroid rat. Estrogen and testosterone given to iodine-deficient rats resulted in breast lesions which resembled histologically human fibrocystic breast disease.

Iodine deficiency was produced in rats by use of the iodine-blocking agent perchlorate. Histologic lesions resembling human fibrocystic breast disease were noted in these rats. The effect of iodine deficiency became more pronounced with advanced aging.
