| Iodine: The Perfect Storm |

.. |
explores three confluent events which may partially account for the rising rates of breast cancer over the past 30 years.
Breast Cancer rates rose from one in 23 to one in seven over the last 30 years. During this time, the nutrient, iodine, was removed from the food supply while the "anti-iodine," toxin, bromide, was introduced into many consumer products. Stealth (unlabeled) bromide exposure from fire-retardants surrounds us in our daily life to a degree unacceptable in some other countries. The presentation will first explore how bromide dominance may function as the biochemical equivalent of global warming as iodine-deficient women reach the age for breast and other hormone-sensitive cancers. Next, we will explore how some forms of benign breast disease can represent a precancerous condition by examining research on iodine and the breast from 1838 to the present. Finally, we will show how at-risk breast patients have used iodine to improve or reverse fibrocystic breast disease. For more information or speaking engagement information contact.
