title: The use of ionized iodine for cancer prevention and eradication.
abstract: Using an ionized iodine compound, it may be possible to transmit a weak effect of the digestive enzymes from the duodenal lumen to the cytoplasmic structures beyond the cell membrane in general organic tissues. Povidone-iodine is easily obtainable at present, and may be the most suitable ionized material for the transmission of the enzymatic effects to body tissues. Consequently, to remove certain cellular byproducts accumulated abnormally in cancerous cytoplasm, and to achieve cancer prevention and eradication, a method of using povidone-iodine, as a conceptual model, should be devised and developed in the future.
