by Jeffrey Dach MDPerhaps you noticed the pink ribbons and crowds of people wearing pink tee shirts on Sunday raising awareness for breast cancer.

Some people took it to the extreme. A high school school teacher in Spokane, Washington showed up for class with pink hair.(1).
There have been pink buses, pink airplanes, pink bridges, and even the white house was illuminated in pink flood lights for Breast Cancer Awareness Month .(2)
There have been many walks and races with participants wearing pink (3)
Suspended for Wearing PINK
Not everyone was happy with the pink clothing. 75 school children were suspended for wearing pink clothing to school at Friendly High School in Prince George’s County. They apparently violated the school’s uniform policy..(4)
Pink is nice and everything, but I think it is the wrong color. I suggest we change it to purple for the color of Iodine.(see left image of Iodoral / Iodine).. Iodine supplementation is our most effective way to prevent breast cancer. We should have purple tee-shrts, purple races, purple buses, purple ribbons and everyone should be talking about Iodine supplementation to prevent breast cancer.
In some cases, Iodine supplementation can affect thyroid function, so it is important to work closely with a knowledgeable physician who can test Iodine levels and thyroid function labs..

Good article Jeffrey! I have been testing iodine levels of many of my patients using the “Thyrodine” test and well over 90% of them are seriously iodine deficient.
I work a lot with elite athletes who consistently suffer “burnout”.
As a matter of interest, the most consistent worst performers with the Thyrodine test are elite swimmers, including triathletes – worse than cancer patients. They also top the list of athletes for fatigue, fungal and viral infections, including glandular fever, sinus infection and acne.
The one common factor with these athletes is exposure to the halogens: fluorine, chlorine and bromine which are found in pool and spa water. As you know, these damage the iodine receptors in the cells, including the thyroid.
I thought you might find this interesting. Keep up the good work.
