Also, breast cancer can spread to almost any other part of the body. The most common are the bones, liver, lungs, and brain. The new tumor has the same kind of abnormal cells and the same name as the primary tumor. For example, if breast cancer spreads to the bones, the cancer cells in the bones are actually breast cancer cells. The disease is metastatic breast cancer, not bone cancer. For that reason, it is treated as breast cancer, not bone cancer. Doctors call the new tumor "distant" or metastatic diseasegenetic cancer testinghttp://www.jacobintl.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312016866602625109.post-11735269440210663482007-10-21T17:02:00.000-05:002007-10-21T17:02:00.000-05:00Fibrocystic Breast Disease, the Iodine Deficiency ...<B>Fibrocystic Breast Disease, the Iodine Deficiency Connection </B><BR/><BR/>A good friend of ours just went through an ordeal with breast cancer. The incidence of breast cancer has increased to 1 in 8 women, with 4,000 new cases weekly. <BR/><BR/>You might ask, could there be a preventive measure which is safe, cheap and widely available that has been overlooked? <BR/><BR/>The answer is <B>YES</B> , and it's the essential mineral, <B>Iodine</B>, which was added to table salt in 1924 as part of a national program to prevent Goiter. It turns out that this same Iodine in table salt is the key to breast cancer prevention as proposed by the following list of prestigious doctors: <BR/><BR/>Guy Abraham, MD, Robert Derry MD PHD, David Brownstein MD, George Flechas MD, Donald Miller, M.D. <BR/><BR/>Dr. B.A. Eskin published 80 papers over 30 years researching iodine and breast cancer, and he reports that iodine deficiency causes breast cancer and thyroid cancer in humans and animals. Iodine deficiency is also known to cause a pre-cancerous condition called fibrocystic breast disease. <BR/><BR/>W.R. Ghent published a paper in 1993 which showed iodine supplementation works quite well to reverse and resolve fibrocystic changes of the breast, and this is again the subject of a current clinical study.(Can J Surg. 1993 Oct;36(5):453-60.) <BR/><BR/>Despite its obvious potential, not much has been done with Iodine treatment over the past 40 years in the United States. Since iodine isn't patentable and is therefore unlikely to be profitable to market, there is no money to fund studies for FDA approval. However, FDA approval is not required since Iodine is already an additive to table salt at the supermarket. <BR/><BR/>For more information see my <A HREF="http://jeffreydach.com/2007/05/05/jeffreydachdrdachiodine.aspx" REL="nofollow">newsletter</A>.<BR/><BR/>Jeffrey Dach MD <A HREF="http://drdach.com/" REL="nofollow"><BR/>my web site</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
