Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It , 2nd EditionDavid Brownstein, MD Medical Alternatives Press, Michigan, 2006.
"Dr. Wright has reported compelling data that iodine, in the form of Lugol's solution (iodine, and iodide) can help maintain the correct balance of the three estrogens. Specifically, Dr. Wright has reported that Lugol's solution will help the body metabolize the estrogens to favor the safer form of estrogen - estriol. My experience has found the same results; the use of iodine helps maintain a balanced estrogen ratio in favor of estriol." p.76
"It is known that the ovaries concentrate a large amount of iodine. After the thyroid, the ovaries have the second largest concentration of iodine in the body. Iodine deficiency produces changes in the ovarian production of estrogens as well as changes in the estrogen receptors of the breasts. In an iodine deficient state, research as shown that ovarian estrogen production increases, while estrogen receptors in the breast increase their sensitivity to estrogens. Both of these conditions will increase the risk of developing pathology of the breasts including breast cancer." p.77-78
