In previous decades, a major cause of thyroid cancer stemmed from orthodox medical procedures involving ionizing radiation. From 1940 to 1960, orthodox medicine used radiation on the necks and heads of many young children to treat relatively mild diseases. Ten to thirty years later, many of those children developed thyroid cancer, which affects women at twice the rate as males.
Thyroid’s affinity for the element iodine also makes it vulnerable to the ill-effects of numerous iodine isotopes, such as iodine 131, released by nuclear accidents and explosions.
