Interrelation and Dependence on Vitamins, Minerals, and Iodine.

[Excerpts]
“Stambul shows that in the ovary there is manufactured a hormone called “di-iodo-tyrosine”, which acts upon cholesterol to keep it in a soluble form. Cholesterol is a waxy type fatty material that will easily precipitate and form stones in the gallbladder and urinary tract. It is from these stones that cholesterol gets its name – which translates to “hard bile”. It is because of this hormone manufactured in the ovary that the cholesterol, used to manufacture the milk in a woman’s breast, is kept in cysts, the di-iodo-tyrosine also prevents the accumulation of cholesterol in the coronary arteries, and so the female is protected by roughly a 6 to 1 ratio to the male from coronary artery disease.
“In an experiment by Perkin and Brown at the Lahey Clinic in 1938, they showed that when the thyroid is removed from a male dog, his protein-boundIodine in the blood serum drops to almost zero. (8) When the thyroid is removed from a female dog, her protein-bound iodine remains the same. When both the thyroid and the ovary are removed from the female dog her protein-bound iodine also drops to near zero. This shows that the ovary is supplying an iodine product to the blood serum. This was shown to be di-iodo-tyrosine by Stambul. (10)
“The presence of di-iodo-tyrosine in the blood serum of the female keeps cholesterol in solution in her breasts as its primary function, but it also keeps cholesterol in solution in her blood serum and aids in the prevention of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. For this reason, the female should not lose either of her ovaries by surgery under any circumstances, except if they be cancerous. They should not be removed as a prophylaxis against cancer. Even though they do not produce estrogen after the menopause, they still continue to protect the woman against coronary artery disease by the metabolism of iodine into di-iodo-tyrosine.
“This experiment by Perkin and Brown took a very interesting turn when one of the female dogs in the experiment became pregnant. Even though she was given an adequate amount of iodine every day, her protein-bound iodine during the pregnancy dropped to a very low value, and returned to normal when the pregnancy was over. This again points up what we see around the world -- goiter in the ratio of 4 to 1 between female and male, because of goiter prevalence in pregnancy. This function of the ovary to metabolize iodine during pregnancy is equally important in puberty. When there is insufficient iodine supplied to the body, the demand by the ovaries decreases the amount available to the thyroid. This lack of iodine to the thyroid prevents it from producing its hormone, which normally stimulates the ovary and controls the development of puberty.
“It is at this time also that we see the development of a disease of the lymph system called “infectious mononucleosis”. It is interesting to note that this disease has been misnamed and is neither “infections” nor “mononucleosis”. It is a lymphadenitis and, in my opinion, is due to a lack of iodine in the lymph system. This lack of iodine is responsible for the hyperplasia of lymph nodes all over the body. Often […unreadable few words…], and one can discern his mistake when he sees the enlarged inguinal lymph nodes at operation. The swelling of the lymph system in the appendix and the colon makes it imperative that the appendix by removed anyway.
“Having been a medical student associated with Dr. Warfield T. Longcope, Professor of Medicine of the Johns Hopkins University Medical School at the time that he described this disease, I have recognized and treated many cases. I was tremendously impressed by the complete debilitation of the patient and the remarkable development of the cervical lymph nodes, and the associated soreness of the throat as a primary characteristic of the disease. It is frequently said to look like a strep throat. On a number of occasions I have treated the disease with intravenous iodine with immediate and remarkable results. One patient, a male 21 years of age, had a white blood count of 200,000. Within three days of giving him intravenous iodine, his white count was back to normal of 6,000, with a normal differential, and his energy and strength had returned to normal also. This is in marked contrast to the usual treatment in which nothing is done and the patient is given only bed rest for a year or more.”

“It is easily understood that if you promote growth, you must necessarily supply the materials for that growth and repair. Those materials are the vitamins and minerals, iodine, amino acids, hormones and all of the approximately 40 other nutritional agents from one’s diet. (8) If these materials become in short supply, in some devious way, the respiratory cycle of the cell will break down and the Krebs Cycle will be unable to produce its high level of energy. The cell will regress to its pre-evolutionary state of using the fermentation of sugar for its metabolic energy. At this state the loss of energy from the inactivity of the Krebs Cycle reduces the cellular energy to 1/15th of what it was when it was using atmospheric oxygen, and the cell becomes cancerous. This is Warburg’s theory of cancer and it is discussed in my paper entitled “Metabolic Aspects of Cancer”. (7)
Thus we see that cancer is not a disease of acquisition – cancer is a disease of evolutionary recession. It is not a disease that can be cured – but it is a disease that can be prevented by supplying the agents that support the respiratory cycle of the cell in the utilization of atmospheric oxygen.”
………
“In any case, the metabolic support must be complete when estrogen, thyroid, or any other stimulating chemicals are given to increase the rate of metabolism. An immediate supplementary intake of the vitamins and minerals is necessary to support the increased metabolic activity. It is this supplementation of the vitamins, minerals and iodine to the cellular respiration that prevents the cell from developing cancer, according to Dr. Otto Warburg’s thesis. It keeps the woman, in every department of her existence, in a more youthful state and holds back the symptoms of aging and senility.”
