Basic Protocol
BreastCancerChoices
Abraham, et al, have recommended specific
nutrients in various articles and communications.
BreastCancerChoices has reviewed this literature and compiled the
following suggested protocol.
"Iodine
Supplementation Protocol with Companion Nutrients
-
50 mg Iodoral minimum for breast cancer (may
start with 12.5 mg)
Some practitioners may recommend another
form of iodine such as Lugol's solution. Iodoral is the
Lugol's formula in tablet form.
-
Vitamin C - 3,000 mg per day (more may be
necessary to detox bromide)
-
300-600 mg magnesium oxide or comparable
magnesium supplement
-
200 mcg selenium
-
625 mg inositol hexaniacinate twice a day
(some may not tolerate niacin)
-
A comprehensive vitamin and nutrition program
Salt Loading Protocol for possible bromide
side effects
Orthoiodosupplementation induced and increased mobilization of bromine
from
storage sites, with increased urinary excretion of bromide. --Guy
Abraham, MD
Certain iodine-literate doctors feel the bromide excreted by iodine
therapy can be eliminated more efficiency by the chloride present in
mineral-rich Celtic salt. The salt is added to water in a specific
way. Eating salty food is not effective. Table salt is only used in an
emergency.
Some members of the Amazon discussion group have found the Salt
Loading Protocol devised by
Dr. William Shevin (and presented at the February '07 Iodine
Conference) to be powerfully effective in eliminating the side effects
such as bromide sedation, acne, brain fog, brassy taste, or frontal
headache or other symptoms which occur in a small percentage of
patients.
-
1/4 teaspoon salt in 1/2 cup warm water and
follow with 12-16 oz water.
-
Repeat in 30-45 minutes X 2 until copious
urination begins.
-
Observe subjective response (usually within
several hours).
No consensus exists on how important the salt
loading may be to an iodine therapy strategy if the patient does not
have adverse symptoms."
