Japanese women have a very low rate of Fibrocystic Disease of the Breast (FDB) and low mortality rate of cancers of the female reproductive organs, compared to current levels in the United States. (3% versus 89%.)ĭrs Abraham’s, Flechas’s, and Hakala’s recommendation of 12.5 mg/day originates from a time-tested Lugol solution that has been available since 1829 when it was first introduced by the French Physician Dr. Lugol’s solution contained 12.5 mg of Iodine composed as: 5 mg Iodine and 7.5mg of Iodide as a potassium salt. This amount of Iodine is very close to the 13.8 mg estimated daily intake of Japanese subjects living in Japan. NOTE: See disclaimer at end of this article, specifically: Lugol’s formula is still available today under the name: “Iodoral”. “The reader must choose for themselves if they believe in the current USRDA of Iodine, or if they choose to believe the research of Drs, Guy E. The reader takes full responsibility for their choice of their daily intake of Iodine.”ĭr. Lugol’s Iodine formula was in popular use during the 1800s, up through the early 1900s. Ghent et al conducted autopsy research of women.
He found a low 3% incidence of Fibrocystic Disease of the Breast in women (FDB). The current, very low USRDA of Iodine has its roots beginning from a study conducted by Dr. Sherlock Arem M.D… NASA consulted with Dr. Arem who recommended consuming no more than 500 to 600 mcg (micrograms) of Iodine per day. Arem published his book detailing his recommendations. Arem was also the editor of an educational periodical on thyroid disorders which is read by 25,000 physicians nationwide.
His position as editor influenced a large segment of practicing endocrinologists, which has led to today’s, ultra-low USRDA for Iodine.
Today the USRDA of Iodine is a mere 150 micrograms per day. (2)Ī follow-up autopsy study in 1973, after the USRDA of Iodine supplementation became so low, found a marked increase of FDB. This disease had risen to 89% of American women. Several comments by knowledgeable doctors contribute this alarming rise of FDB to the current, ultra-low levels of daily consumption of Iodine, which is the current USRDA. Iodine is the only trace element required for, and in the synthesis of, hormones. It is the most deficient trace element in the world with an acknowledged one-third of mankind functioning below optimal levels due to this deficiency. Low intake of Iodine is the world’s leading cause of intellectual deficiency.
