Fibrocystic breasts and the iodine connection

fibrocysts iodine
Today, thyroid disease is epidemic. Eighty-percent of thyroid disease is experienced by women with at least fifty percent of cases going undiagnosed. Eight-four percent of women with thyroid disease have fibrocystic breasts. Is there a connection between low thyroid function and fibrocysts?

Thyroid disease is really iodine deficiency disease. Iodine is a trace mineral from food and is needed by every cell in the body. The body requires 12.5 g/day of iodine for full sufficiency. Of that, the thyroid takes 6 mg/day, the breasts take 5 mg, and the other glands, including the ovaries, grab about 2 mg.

In studies, when thyroid patients are supplemented with iodine, in the form of Lugol's iodine (potassium iodide plus iodine), two things happen: Not only does thyroid function return - and the need for thyroid hormone is reduced or eliminated - but patients see their fibrocysts melt away. That's because fibrocysts are partially developed follicles that have not ovulated. Follicles, including hair follicles, are direct targets of thyroid hormones; T3 and T4. This connection may explain why people with hypothyroidism often have the symptom of thinning hair and eyebrows. Bottom line: Iodine deficiency can lead to cysts in breasts and ovaries. When iodine is supplemented, fibroids and cysts reverse.

Comment: Six reasons why iodine supplementation is essential
Iodine is indispensable in protecting against thyroid cancer, breast cancer, ovarium cancer as well as prostate cancer because all of these glands concentrate iodine more than other tissues. Deficiencies in iodine leave these glands vulnerable. Iodine also is indispensable for treating anything on the skin, even skin cancer mainly because it kills everything on contact that does not belong.

Breast tissue contains the body's third highest concentrations of this essential mineral, so shortfalls in iodine needs have a highly negative impact on breast tissue. Iodine shortfalls coupled with bromine and other toxic halogens cause fibrocystic breast disease and breast cancer.

High intake of iodine is associated with a lower risk of breast cancer. Low iodine intake is associated with liver cancer. Iodine is ideal for treating skin cancer. These are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of how important iodine is for cancer patients.

On this episode of the Health and Wellness show we take another look into the vaccine issue. The public believes that vaccines are specified viruses in sterile solutions free from undesirable contaminants. The stark reality is much different! Don't expect the mainstream media, health authorities, doctors or government agencies to to give you all the facts.

Contaminated faulty vaccines based on poor research have damaged hundreds of thousands of children all over the world causing an epidemic in childhood allergies, autoimmune disorders brain inflammation, developmental delays and Autism. Close to 1 million children will be diagnosed with Autism this year. What are these numbers saying about the chemical cocktails that are being injected into children at an alarming rate, fueling a 50 Billion dollar vaccine industry? While 'health organizations' continue to deny any relationship between Autism and vaccination. Scientists outside the US are researching the 'synergistic toxicity' of chemicals such as aluminum, and mercury and are presenting peer-reviewed science making a clear connection between immune activation events, aluminum adjuvants, and Autism.

Join us as we discuss this hotly debated topic and what can be done to slow or even reverse this heartbreaking epidemic.

Stay tuned for Zoya's Pet Health segment at the end of the show. The topic is, "Why cats are vomiting, and what can you do about it?"

Medical arms race: Science versus antibiotic-resistant superbugs

The death rate from bacterial infections plummeted following the discovery of penicillin. However, these microbes developed ways to resist our antibiotics. What threats do superbugs pose and what factors contribute to their emergence?

The discovery and development of antibiotics saved millions of lives during the latter half of the 20th century. Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming, who witnessed soldiers with infected wounds perish while serving in the Royal Army Medical Corps during the First World War, per chance discovered a penicillin-producing mold in 1928.

However, penicillin was not synthesized into medicinal form until over a decade later. Its subsequent mass production during the 1940s is credited with saving many lives during the Second World War.

Although penicillin's use was initially restricted to military hospitals, it soon became accessible to the general public in industrialized nations. In 1946, penicillin first became available on prescription in the UK. People were jubilant over the discovery of a "wonder drug" that could cure many bacterial infections with high mortality rates, especially among infants and the elderly. For example, penicillin reduced the death rate of bacterial pneumonia from between 60-80 percent to 1-5 percent. Postoperative mortality rates also fell sharply.

Comment: And there you have it. Unless money can be made, human suffering counts for nothing in this psycho world.

The health impact of today's most prevalent environmental toxin: Aluminum

aluminum
Every other year, for more than two decades, a small group of 70 or so scientists have been meeting at different locales across the globe to discuss their speciality: aluminum and its effects on living things.

The science of a metal used in industries from airplane manufacturing to food packaging may sound tedious, but this three-day Keele meeting (named for Keele University in the United Kingdom where it originated) produces a treasure trove of valuable information about the health impact of aluminium exposure. It's a conference of the latest science that the $186 billion aluminum industry denies and public health agencies pretend does not exist.

The 12th Annual Keele Meeting on Aluminum last week in Vancouver, Canada, sponsored by the Children's Medical Safety Research Institute, was no exception. Scientists from 16 countries discussed the latest research about how aluminum impacts plants, animals and humans. We inhale it in pollution, consume it in processed foods, slather it on in toiletries and inject it into ourselves and our babies in vaccines. Neurotoxic aluminium, according to increasing amount of scientific evidence, may stay in the body where it breaches protective barriers, induces wildly oxidative processes and fires inflammation, disrupts genetic transcription, impairs metabolism, accumulates in brain and breasts and testes, is linked to cancer, infertility, Alzheimer's disease and anxious, aggressive and autistic behaviour.

Toxic chemicals are causing epidemic levels of damage and death

smoke stack pollution
You are likely aware that air pollution may affect your lungs, but did you know it has a significant effect on your brain and your cognitive functioning? These changes affect not just adults, but have also been linked to lower IQ testing, development of ADHD in children1 and an increased risk of death.

Toxins from the environment, both inside and outside, are almost impossible to avoid. Moreover, the traditional view of toxin exposure is outdated, so you'll need to consider different factors if you're attempting to reduce your exposure and susceptibility to disease and illness triggered by toxic chemicals.

Today toxins can be inhaled, applied to your skin, injected or eaten with your food. The Environmental Working Group reports the average person has 91 toxic chemicals in their body.2

Unfortunately, while exposure to some chemicals are studied, researchers have no idea how this combined toxic soup and chemical interactions affect your health.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 25 percent of all deaths worldwide are attributable to poor environmental conditions, including air pollution. Dr. Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General, commented:3
"A healthy environment underpins a healthy population. If countries do not take actions to make environments where people live and work healthy, millions will continue to become ill and die too young."

Evil scoundrels in modern medicine

medical evil
Evil can be defined as profound immorality and malevolence. Today, one of the most evil persons to ever practice medicine is fortunately behind bars, serving 45 years in a federal prison for dosing adults and children who did not even have cancer to death with chemotherapy.

If it were not for a brave colleague who blew the whistle and turned in Dr. Farid Fata to the FBI, Fata would still be silently killing innocents today, all in the name of money and notoriety. Fata was responsible for many deaths and thousands of injuries that could last a lifetime. Though Fata is no longer practicing medicine, he has everything to do with some other evil doctors who are still engaged in medical fraudulence and malfeasance, but just haven't been caught and prosecuted - yet. Fata is a gleaming example of how many doctors literally get away with murder for years on end.

The hidden health impacts of wireless communication

cell tower
Imagine you arrive home after work to discover a new microwave antenna tower stationed at the edge of your backyard fence? How would you respond?
  1. If you'd had non-existent mobile phone reception for years prior (or if you were a techie 'hooked on faster downloads') then you might find reason to celebrate!
  2. You might respond as an ambivalent disempowered citizen, "I really wonder about those things but there isn't much I can do about this anyway."
  3. You may be in the growing group of empowered action-takers. You've either experienced microwave radiation sickness attributable to exposure or you've read books and articles on the topic which resonate with your own truth.
Out of Sight Does Not Equal Out of Mind

Now forget the antennas in the backyard. Rather, that same day you arrived home from work telcos had erected a microwave antenna tower 300 metres from your residence. They paid someone rent to place it in a stealth location, a church steeple, behind a shop rooftop façade or on a water tower tucked out of public view behind parkland. Or it might have been located entirely visible, say next to a highway. We are already seeing so many of these towers that they no longer register. Our innate sensibility has often numbed to them in the same way we can numb to catastrophe or violence through a constant diet of Hollywood and TV news.

For the first time the federal government is referring to marijuana as medicine

medical cannabis
A profound shift in the federal government's stance on cannabis was marked by subtle changes made this month to one webpage. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health, now has a webpage titled Marijuana as Medicine. Prior to March 2017, it was titled Is Marijuana Medicine?

Apparently, they feel the question has been answered. The timing of NIDA's update is very curious, as there are signs from the Trump administration that a crackdown may be coming on states' cannabis legalization progress made over the last few years.

The Department of Justice is now headed by rabid prohibitionist Jeff Sessions, who cites falsehoods and Reefer Madness propaganda when discussing cannabis. Only a few days ago, Sessions said cannabis "is slightly less awful" than heroin - a mind-boggling display of ignorance. Trump chose to keep Chuck Rosenberg as head of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), who said medical cannabis is "a joke" and oversaw the department's decision to keep the plant as a Schedule 1 drug with "no medicinal use."

Impossible Foods bleeding burger
With a brown exterior and juicy pink inside, this burger looks like it is anything but plant-based.

But the Impossible Burger is 100 per cent meat free, despite the fact that it 'bleeds' like a beef patty.

Impossible Foods, the firm behind the burger, has announced that is is moving into a huge new factory that will soon be capable of producing one million pounds of the burgers every month.

Impossible Foods is backed by several big names, including Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, and an arm of Google.

The main ingredients in its vegetarian burger are wheat protein, coconut oil and potatoes. But the key magic addition is heme, which has been described as 'plant blood'. The iron-rich compound is abundant in real meat, but can also be grown from soya.

The company claims that the heme makes the company's burgers 'smell, sizzle, bleed, and taste gloriously meaty'.


Comment: Vegetarianism is quite simply destroying the planet and the brains of the people on it.

An Illinois elementary school district closed Wednesday after a student mysteriously died at a hospital this week.

Officials with Peru Elementary School District 124 said both Northview and Parkside elementary schools would be closed after a student at one of the schools died at a hospital Monday.

According to officials, the child became ill Friday evening and was transported to Rockford Mercy Health where she passed away a few days later.

An official cause of death had not been released as of Wednesday, but the district's superintendent, Mark Cross, posted in a Facebook note to parents that schools were closed Wednesday "as a precautionary measure to ensure the health and safety of our students and staff."

"Tuesday evening, the child's parents informed us that they were contacted and the child may have died from another illness than what they initially thought," Cross wrote. "This immediately caused us to seek information and we have been in contact with various health agencies since that time. Since we could not verify with absolute certainty that there were no concerns, we decided it was best to cancel school for today."
