In his Iodine book, David Brownstein MD reports three cases of spontaneous regression of breast cancer after iodine supplementation.(1)
(page 63)
The first patient, Joan a 63 year old English teacher, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1989, declined conventional treatment, and took 50 mg per day of Iodoral, (Iodine). Six weeks later, a PET scan (left image) showed, “all of the existing tumors were disintegrating”.

One of my patients wrote the following testimonial:
“I am a 42 year old breast cancer survivor, and I have been struggling with hormonal imbalance and weight issues since completing chemotherapy and to top it all off a hysterectomy over a year ago. I have been searching for a solution other than pharmaceuticals to just feel healthy and alive again after many years of suffering. I have been seeing Dr. Bloem for about a month and I have never felt better. I wish I had met Dr. Bloem 5 years ago.”
Women who are diagnosed with breast cancer often feel like they are stuck between a rock and hard place. Even though there is no evidence that there is any relationship between bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and the development of any kind of cancer, many doctors believe that hormones should be avoided if a patient has been diagnosed with cancer.
Although conventional cancer specialists routinely recommend surgically removing the tumor, infusing the body with toxic chemicals, and therapies that have anti-hormonal effects, increasing numbers of patients have started to question these treatment strategies. One the one hand we know that patients have survived such therapies, but we also know that many have suffered severe adverse reactions, including death. Many who undergo and survive such therapies experience a symptoms of hormone deficiency, causing a dramatically reduced quality of life.
That is why women like this patient choose bioidentical hormonal replacement therapy. This woman is on the Wiley Protocol®, a rhythmically dosed, bioidentical hormone replacement regimen. The results are often life changing, causing symptoms such as depression, dry skin, hair loss, low libido to improve significantly or to resolve completely.
From NaturalNews.com, October 19, 2008:
With Breast Cancer Awareness month fully upon us once again, retail stores have been invaded with everything pink, including “pink ribbon” candies and personal care products made with blatantly cancer-causing ingredients. Retail grocery stores like Safeway even hit up customers for donations at the cash register, promising to raise funds to find “the cure for cancer.”
Consumers of course, have virtually no idea where the funds they donate actually go, nor do they know the truths about breast cancer they’ll never be told by conventional cancer non-profit organizations. In this article, I’ll reveal ten important myths about breast cancer, and the truths that can save your life.
The Truth: Up to 98% of breast cancer cases can be prevented through diet, nutritional supplements, sunshine and exercise
It’s true: Breast cancer can be almost entirely prevented through commonsense changes in diet, the addition of anti-cancer nutritional supplements, boosting vitamin D creation from sunlight, avoiding exposure to toxic chemicals in consumer products, pursuing regular exercise and eating a live foods diet.
The breast cancer industry — which depends on the continuation of cancer for its profits and employment — has so far refused to teach women even basic cancer prevention strategies (such as increasing the intake of vitamin D, which prevents 77% of all cancers).

The Truth: Nearly 100% of the funds are used to recruit more breast cancer patients into highly-lucrative treatments that do more harm than good.

For those familiar with the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) that was sponsored by the National Institutes of Health the link between oral contraceptives and breast cancer is no surprise. Women who participated in the WHI and who used a combination of Premarin and Provera had an increased risk of breast cancer, heart disease, blood clots, and stroke.
Premarin contains estrogens from horses and Provera is the brand name for medroxyprogesterone acetate. They are not messenger chemicals that are normally found in the human body.
This article makes the mistake of referring to oral contraceptives as hormones. These chemicals do not meet the dictionary definition of hormone because they are not produced by the hormone glands of the human body. Because they are not normally found in the human body they have a different effect on the body’s hormone receptors: that effect is one of hormone disruption.
The estrogen component of the “estrogen+progestin-based birth control” consists of non-bioidentical chemicals like ethinyl estradiol that is not found in the human body. Likewise, the progestin component consists of chemicals like norethindrone that is not produced by the human body. Similar chemicals are also found in injectable contraceptives such as Depo Provera and implanted contraceptives such as Norplant and IUDs.
The side effect profiles of Premarin and non-bioidentical “estrogens” and Provera and so-called progestins is similar. It is unfortunate that many physicians prescribe them inappropriately not only for contraception but also for complaints of acne or diagnoses of polycystic ovarian syndrome, and amenorrhea. It is my opinion that these chemicals have no place in the human body because they poison hormone receptors and disrupt hormone physiology throughout the body.
If a woman seeks contraception I recommend natural family planning or barrier contraceptives such as condoms, diaphragms, and cervical caps.

A cancer awareness group says as schools pass out birth control to young girls, they are failing to notify them about an increased health risk.
According to Karen Malec, president of The Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer, young girls who are prescribed estrogen+progestin-based birth control by their school nurses are at an
increased risk for breast, cervix, and liver cancer. World Health Organization conducted a study in 2005 and found that type of birth control carcinogenic.“In other words, they cause cancer in human beings,” she notes. “And they assign these drugs the highest level of carcinogenicity — the highest level is group one.”
Malec believes the worst time in a young woman’s life to be exposed to this level of carcinogen is before the birth of her first child. The Coalition is urging concerned parents and individuals to contact their school officials.
“But it’s really the doctors and the nurses who are responsible for giving the information to the high school officials. They’re not doing that, and so we’re just asking people to please contact the high school’s officials and let them know about this fact that the World Health Organization has acknowledged these drugs as cancer-causing.”
(NaturalNews) Young women who receive radiation treatment after breast cancer surgery are significantly more likely to later develop cancer in the other breast than women who did not undergo such radiation.
The findings come from a study, published online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, on more than 7,000 women who were treated for breast cancer in Netherlands between the years of 1970 and 1986. All study participants were diagnosed with breast cancer before the age of 71.
