As breast cancer rates across the country continue to increase, more people are interested in early intervention or prevention. Dr. Derry's theories, based on extensive review of published medical literature in combination with his experience as a clinician, are not his alone. In fact, research is already underway on the impact of iodine on cancer prevention and reduction. Dr. Derry proposes supporting the body's natural immune system and metabolic health with proper thyroid levels, and combining that with the intake of a small daily dose of iodine.

A starting point: fibrocystic disease

Fibrocystic disease of the breast consists of small or large, sometimes painful lumps in women’s breasts. It varies in the way it shows—not only in different women, but also because it changes from month to month in the same women. Medical doctors generally believe that fibrocystic disease results from the excess number of cells that grow in the breast during the menstrual cycle from the hormonal stimulation."

Having very dense breasts, I've been always told I need ultrasound scanning (in addition to mammographies). Doctors tell the same that you can read in the article:
"... we know breast density increases the risk of a breast cancer in the first place..."

"...the dense tissue makes it more likely that... areas of cancer in the breast are not visible..."

So, if this is the case, ask for ultrasound scanning too! Take care, and TY for sharing the information.
