Breast Cancer and Iodine : How to Prevent and How to Survive Breast Cancer

Book Description

This book is about cause, prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Breast cancer has two phases. The first one, from abnormal cells up to carcinoma in situ reverses with iodine. The second phase, invasion, is controlled by connective tissue thyroid hormone.

Customer Reviews:

every woman should read this book.......2007-09-26

I ordered two copies of this book. If every woman would read it, it would prevent a lot of needless suffering. Men ought to read it too because Dr. Derry tells the symptons of low iodine and low thyroid hormone which most every one has whether they be man or woman. I also recommend Dr. Brownstein's book on Iodine. These two books go hand in hand.

Dr Derry reveals the simple facts in beating Breast Cancer.......2007-06-18

Dr David Derry, as with others like Dr Ignas Semmelweis, and Dr Charlie Teo, has braved the scorn of his colleagues in promoting the use of common sense, logic and clear thinking in Medicine!

His research has clearly revealed that diet is the main factor in combating Cancer. The statistics on the incidence of Breast Cancer in Japanese and Icelandic Women, as against those of European, American and Australians, are irrefutable!

Iodine has been proved to be invaluable in the fight against Cancer.

Review of "Breast Cancer and Iodine" by Dr. David Derry........2007-05-13

Overall, I believe that this is a very good book, on a subject of enormous importance. There are some minor flaws, that should be

forgiven in light of the great amount of useful information it contains. Dr. Derry says, "I have addressed this book to women with breast

cancer." It would be more accurate to say that "I have addressed this book to the doctors of women with breast cancer." Women (and men,too)

without some scientific and medical background will find much of the text confusing, and this may discourage them from continuing to read

it, once started. If you order this book, Please keep on reading! You will find islands of clarity and wonderful information and insights if

you keep on going. Just gloss over the difficult parts, and look for the many gems that are there. I suggest that a breast cancer patient

who wants her doctor to take the information seriously, read the book, make notes on important parts, and thereby be in a position to carry

on an intelligent and informed conversation with the doctor.
A doctor who is not completely closed-minded should take note of the extensive references to good scientific work relating breast

cancer to iodine deficiency. If your doctor gets huffy at the idea that you, a mere layman, have brought in information new to him/her, I

suggest you fire him/her on the spot, and look for an open-minded one who is really interested in helping you.
Note: A good related book is "Iodine:Why You Need it, Why you can't live without it, by David Brownstein, M.D.

Lugal's significantly reduced my fibroid breast disease!.......2007-05-12

After taking (doctor prescribed of course!) 3 drops, 2x per day for three months, I reduced the dose to 3 drops, once per day for three more months. I am now on a one drop per day maintenance dose. My breasts used to be so full of fibroids! Now they are almost completely smooth, with significant reduction in the fibroids that are left!
I am so grateful to my doctor and to those that support this simple, yet lifegiving remedy!

A must read.......2007-01-03

excellent read. a must read for all, not just women! as a physician, I have learned a great many things medical school never taught.

Book Description

This book describes the biological implications and significance of apoptosis. Occurring naturally throughout the lifetime of most multicellular organisms, apoptosis, or programmed cell death, accounts for the continuous turnover of cells in the body. However, the genes regulating apoptosis are defective in many cancers.

Book Description

Apoptosis is a regulated form of cell demise that can be induced or blocked by groups of specific stimuli. Occurring in all living tissues, it is thought critical to the maintenance of homeostasis and is implicated in lowering susceptibility to tumour growth. Conversely, over-sensitivity to apoptotic triggers can cause cells to be lost inappropriately from tissues, as appears to occur in neurodegenerative diseases. This book examines the molecular pathways regulating apoptosis, progressing from the nematode worm through Drosphila to the more complex pathways evident in mammalian cells. Differences in the cell death pathway within specific tissues are addressed, as are the different genes that may act to regulate progressive steps.

Book Description

Aging has long since been ascribed to the gradual accumulation of DNA mutations in the genome of somatic cells. However, it is only recently that the necessary sophisticated technology has been developed to begin testing this theory and its consequences. Vijg critically reviews the concept of genomic instability as a possible universal cause of aging in the context of a new, holistic understanding of genome functioning in complex organisms resulting from recent advances in functional genomics and systems biology. It provides an up-to-date synthesis of current research, as well as a look ahead to the design of strategies to retard or reverse the deleterious effects of aging. This is particularly important in a time when we are urgently trying to unravel the genetic component of aging-related diseases. Moreover, there is a growing public recognition of the imperative of understanding more about the underlying biology of aging, driven by continuing demographic change.

Book Description

Until now, researchers lacked a complete resource on the cell death observed during HIV infection. Cell Death During HIV Infection contains comprehensive, current information for researchers and clinicians, combining elements of HIV biology with immunology and focusing on their interaction. The discussion centers on mechanisms by which HIV may accelerate T cell death, on correlations between apoptosis and HIV disease using animal models and clinical studies, and the involvement of apoptosis in the complications of HIV. A final section deals with the impact of therapies on HIV-associated T cell death and avenues by which modulation of apoptosis can be developed into novel therapeutic strategies for HIV disease.

Book Description

Roadside Kansas, the perfect glove-compartment companion, is a guide to the geology, natural resources, and landscapes along nine of the state's major highways. Covering more than 2,600 miles, Buchanan and McCauley have provided mile-by-mile descriptions of interesting features, both contemporary and historical, to be seen all across the state. The information is organized by highway, so that modern-day explorers can follow the road logs easily, learning about the land they travel through.

Of the tradition of roadside geologic descriptions, Buchanan and McCauley write: "In some ways highways provide convenient access to geology because roads often cut through hills, exposing formations never seen before. . . . For many geologist, road construction is an occasion akin to Christmas or the Fourth of July."

The nine highways, which criss-cross Kansas, were chosen for a variety of reasons. Some, like I-70, I-35, and the Kansas Turnpike, carry heavy traffic; some, like U.S. Highways 69 and 36, are the main highways in various parts of the state; others, like U.S. Highways 160 and 83, cut through some of the state's most interesting geology; and one, U.S. Highway 56, was picked because of its history--the road parallels the historic Santa Fe Trail for much of its route, passing the site of old forts and Indian battles.

This unique guidebook combines geological, historical, and cultural information with more than 100 photographs, drawings, and maps. Presented in a refreshingly nontechnical way, it is sure to appeal to tourist and native Kansas alike.

Great book for the busy earth science teacher.......2002-11-08

Easy is the word that describes this book. The mile markers, bridges, towns, and other landmarks makes this text THE guide for the investigator from out of state. The museums described were excellent sources of information with plenty of friendly people to guide you toward additional landmarks. The roadcuts were full of described fossils, even my teen daughter found bags full of whole shellfish that littered the byways.
A small amount of research before hand can pay off big time in collecting the best fossils still on the back roads of America. Take this book along and the trip through Kansas will be one that you will remember for years to come.

Roadside Kansas.......2002-05-08

I found Roadside Kansas by chance in the gift shop at the Old Mill in Lindsborg. I had been showing my wife and daughter some of the sights I knew about from growing up in Ellinwood, Kansas which is located right on the Santa Fe Trail (Highway 56).

Little did I know what a treasure we had found. Beginning as a geological research project by the authors the book took on a life of its' own as a very nice directory of various interesting attractions and oddities in Kansas. Its' photographs also prove to readers once and for all that Kansas IS NOT FLAT.

The first item of note we found was that we were just minutes from Coronado Heights, named after the Spanish explorer. We also found that wheel ruts from wagons traveling the Santa Fe Trail were still visible only a few miles east of my hometown. And I found that after having spent the better part of 27 years driving past and through Fort Zarah that the old cemetery still exists just north of the park out in a field only a few yards from where I had spent many evening hours with female companionship. Imagine my surprise!

Additionally, we found that about 25 miles west of Castle Rock, which I had visited and photographed many times while in college at Fort Hays, are what is known as the Kansas or Chalk Pyramids (just off Highway 83).

Needless to say I was excited and impressed. We spent the rest of our trip running the roads looking for mile markers and the treasures that lay beyond.

The book is laid out quite simply. Find the highway number you are traveling and what mile marker you are at and the book tells you what attraction is coming up with excellent directions for the directionally impaired. Oh, and I guess the geological information is pretty good too.

Since I found this text in 1995 I have wholeheartedly recommended it to anyone traveling the Land of Ahs, both visitor and resident, and all have been impressed. If you like to seek out items of interest off the beaten path, then this is your guide. I only wish those guys would do a book like this for every state in the Union.

Kansas has a lot of rocks.......2000-09-27

This is like a Roadside Geology on steroids. The single-spaced typed list I made of rock stops along I-70 alone was four pages long. Most major roads in the state are covered in similar detail, including not only the rocks, but historical sidelights and local oddities as well. With it, you'll never be bored driving across Kansas.

The reason I'm only giving it three stars is that, while it provides plenty of opportunities to collect, it gives you almost no help understanding what you get. Most formations are not even assigned to geological periods. Very frustrating.
