This is the quote I found:

"In many cancers, the mechanism for getting Iodine into the cells (the NIS symporter) is not working. The cells can’t absorb Iodine. Absence of Iodine is a promoter of thyroid cancer, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer."
http://iodine4health.com/overviews/audiovisual/flechas_audiovisual.htm


He says that "in many cancers" the NIS symporter is not working. Can we conclude that in the rest of them they are working? For example:

"We report high NIS expression at both transcriptional and translational level and its ability to transport Iodine in human breast tumors. The in vivo iodine transport ability was confirmed by scintigraphy."
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12602914


Is I understand it, via wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-iodide_symporter
) thyroid cancer lacks the symporter, but breast, colon, and prostate do...so by this principle iodine would prevent the +symporter types. But as I understand it iodine prevents thyroid cancer anyway...

I know there are endless other types of cancer, but iodine appears favorable to these common types...

Plus prevention and cure go hand in hand. Cancer can tend to regrow even during treatment, so preventing while treating overall makes good sense to me...

Plus while the quote states that some cancers lack NIS symporter, it says nothing about the rest of the the cells in the body...Nor does he say anywhere that iodine can aggravate any types of cancers, so why not supplement?

I have metastatic breast cancer, and I happened to start supplementing iodine a couple of months before my diagnosis on 7/30/12. My tumor load was EXTREMELY heavy--ex. my liver was more cancer than healthy tissue-- quite frankly I consider myself lucky to be alive. Along with conventional treatment (armchair quarterbacks, please hold your comments about this unless you genuinely seek to learn) and many other supplemental things, I have been supplementing with a iodine, and the cancer is already almost completely gone.

So needless to say I am pro iodine for both cancer prevention and treatment.
