Re: breastcancerchoices.org is restricting sales
1. I did not see a link on their website for sales. What am I missing?
2. I think they like iodine! This is from their website:
Breast Cancer Choices
Iodine Investigation Project:
A Patient-Driven Initiative
"Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking." -- William Butler Yeats
* The research reviewers at
Breast Cancer Choices have been reviewing the recent
scientific information about
Iodine deficiency and its relationship to breast
disease. Although some of the
Iodine studies by Drs. Bernard Eskin and W.R.
Ghent have been available for many years, the recent Iodine Project initiated by
Dr. Guy Abraham and his colleagues has persuaded us that the role of iodine
needs more research immediately. We are calling for patients to spearhead the
demand for further research on iodine and breast cancer.
* Although we are pursuing institution-affiliated scientific partners for this research,
Breast Cancer Choices has already begun establishing a confidential database of
breast cancer patients who have taken the 24 Hour Iodine Loading test. We urge
breast cancer patients to take this test. We are also encouraging women at risk
and relatives of
Breast Cancer patients to take this test.
* The premise of the 24 Hour Iodine Loading Test is that if a person ingests a
specific amount of iodine and is iodine-sufficient, most of the iodine will be
excreted in the urine over a 24-hour period. If the person does not possess an
optimal amount of iodine, the body will tend to retain it and a smaller amount will
be found in the urine during the 24-hour collection period. If the amount of iodine
measured is less than 90%, the patient is presumed deficient.
We hope to collaborate with Iodine Literate Doctors (ILDs) in the future to pool
and exchange information on this data.
The preliminary objectives of the
Breast Cancer Choices Iodine Investigation
project are to explore:
(1) whether there is a possible connection between iodine deficiency and
breast cancer.
(2) whether remedying that deficiency by iodine supplementation can reduce
recurrence.
(3) whether iodine should be studied as an adjuvant therapy for breast cancer.
If you are interested in participating in this project and
taking the 24 Hour Iodine Loading Test, please phone
FFP Labs at 877-900-5556. They will explain how to order the
test. After you get the results please contact us at:

All identifying information will be kept confidential.
