About the Author

I was born in Selby England in 1937 and moved to and grew up in Maracaibo Venezuela. It is there I met my present wife while she was still in utero as her mother, a nurse, was looking after me while she was pregnant with my wife. My wife and I are sometimes called oil babies. After getting my MD at University of British Columbia I went on after my internship at the Toronto General to take a PhD in biochemistry and neurochemistry at the Montreal Neurological Institute and McGill University.

After finishing my training I taught pharmacology to Medical students, dentistry students and pharmacy in the Department of Pharmacology University of Toronto. I also became a Medical Research Council Scholar. Due to domestic rearrangements, I suddenly had my present wife (who had grown up with me in Venezuela) and five children under the age of eight. At our wedding the children represented the whole audience. Academic life could not financially support this. I moved back to Victoria, British Columbia to start general practice.

My interest in thyroid started over 15 years ago. Also I became interested in Breast Cancer among other things about 10 years ago. I strongly feel we should have theories for medical illnesses even if they are wrong. It stimulates researchers to test the theories and more advances can be made. Other fields of science have many competing theories such as astronomy and physics and mathematics. I feel that medicine would advance faster if there were more theories to test. Over the last 12 years I have formed a library of 5000 reprints and books on breast cancer, thyroid hormone and iodine.

Important Information

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2019

Verified Purchase

I gave this book 5 stars because the information put forth is very important; however, the book is difficult to read if you are not scientifically inclined and there is minimal information on dosing or what to do if tests show that you have over dosed with iodine. As a breast cancer suvivor, I do want to stress that I completely agree with the theory put forth here. When my doctor did a test to determine my iodine levels, I was at the lowest end of the scale...and I had just recovered from breast cancer treatments, so there certainly seemed to be a correlation and I have followed up with iodine supplements. We are still trying to reach a safe level for breast health and general health. You might be on your own here though, as my oncologist at a national cancer center does not think that there is anything to support this theory. My functional and integrative MD is the one who is in charge of this part of my treatment.

In 2014, there are better iodine books

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2014

Verified Purchase

Iodine is a radically important topic for anyone with a breast, prostate, or thyroid who wants to live a long healthy life. This book, written in 2001, may have been a valuable early pioneer in the recent revival of this crucial aspect of nutrition that the medical profession has brushed aside, but today there are better books.

I give it 4 stars so you'll consider iodine and read my review, but I do not suggest this book as the best source. I'm very hesitant to denigrate the book because it might give a spark of insight to some researcher, but I doubt that the general public will get much more out of the book than the gems I pass on in this review. His theories of iodine's role in evolution and his postulates for proposed verification are just not readily applicable to those of us seeking practical advice on iodine. His rough hand-sketched illustrations added nothing to my understanding, the many typos and/or typesetting errors were distracting, and there were often grammatical ambiguities that left me wondering whether he was advocating or refuting some assertion. I also wondered whether his logic was quite faulty or I was just in over my head (I think the former).

In short, Dr Derry (MD neurologist) postulates (or declares?) that every adult should be getting a bit more than 2 to 3 mg of iodine per day for cancer prevention, thyroid health, immune response, and general well-being. Any woman contemplating pregnancy should study iodine prior to conception. Even conventional sources like WHO confirm that iodine deficiency is a (or THE!) major cause of low IQ and mental retardation worldwide.

Correlation does not prove causation, but he stresses that the Japanese eat perhaps 8~10 mg of iodine daily, through seaweed, and have the world's smallest thyroids and lowest rates of breast cancer. Japanese who migrate to the USA and adopt our diet also adopt our rates of breast cancer.

Until the 1960's, Iceland did even better by feeding fish scraps to their dairy cows, but once they began to follow world standards for maximum allowable iodine in milk, their breast cancer rate increased tenfold.

Women living in warmer climates need to generate less body heat and therefore use fewer thyroid hormones (T3, T4) and therefore their thyroids consume less iodine, leaving more for their breasts. Therefore, one would expect lower breast cancer rates at lower latitudes, and that is true. An intriguing correlation.

I don't recall Derry ever mentioning the prostate, but it also needs iodine and my own (thoroughly "amateur") hypothesis is that a prostate starved for iodine grows just as a thyroid does. So an enlarged prostate is a sort of goiter, and men can prevent that by getting more iodine (which will let them sleep through the night). Other iodine books do address the prostate, but they all seem to put most attention on the breasts.

Dr Brownstein's book on iodine (search Amazon or Google for his site) is highly, highly (and highly) repetitive to the point of absurdity but is nonetheless a very valuable reference. Lynn Farrow's book The Iodine Crisis is the most thorough, readable, and inspirational book on why we should all learn about iodine and act accordingly. (I avoid most supplements yet buy 12.5 mg iodine through Amazon and take them once or twice a week.)

Derry's extensive source references may be a gold mine for those willing to delve much deeper, but unless you're an MD, researcher, or fanatic (I say with positive appreciation) I'd suggest one of these other books. If you have other recommendations, please leave a comment below.

Learn about iodine!!! (and NOT from conventional MDs who were taught that it's toxic)

I had no idea

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2014

Verified Purchase

I recently was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a mastectomy. Several months later, just by chance I tried taking iodine to help my thyroid function better as I have suffered from many health issues over the last 20 years, and after 3 days on iodine. I could not believe how much better I felt. I finally felt normal again after years of depression and no energy. I did not expect that to happen just by taking iodine, so I started looking online and was shocked to find the connection between iodine deficiency and just about every health problem I've suffered. It's a travesty that doctors are not being taught about the benefits of iodine and the proper dosing. Medical schools are being funded by the pharmaceutical industry and it seems that they don't want to prevent cancer because so many people make money by treating it. I can attest to that.

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2015

Verified Purchase

In this book you will find what the vast majority of doctors don't know about iodine.
For some this book will be a life saver, for others a way to better health and prevention from a variety of illnesses related to subclinical iodine deficiency. The traditional Japanese diet provides about 100 times the amount of iodine that we get in the typical American diet. Dr. Derry and other experts in the field consider our diet to be extremely deficient in iodine and greatly responsible for the statistics that shows that we have about ten times the amount of prostate cancer and three times the number of breast cancers per capita.

When you read the page with all the potential benefits from iodine (from detoxification to vital organ protection) you would want to make copies for all of your loved ones.

This book could be defined as the medicine and medical practice that time forgot. The role of iodine so essential in the development of man and mans health is revisited and explained. If you are on a health or longevity quest read this.
