Re: Re: Iodine and Children/Was iodine very important now!--Japan nuclea

I've been closely monitoring the news for developments. So far, there is no meltdown but there has been some leakage, 1000 times normal amount. This stuff spreads quickly apparently but no way to tell how much has leaked. You could start the protocol now just to be safe, it won't harm you. It's up to you. I already took my 130 mg SSKI but that's me. My thyroid is weak and low so I'm not taking any chances.

This is one report I've seen just now:Japan's Daiichi 1 reactor north of the capital Tokyo began leaking radiation after the 8.9-magnitude earthquake triggered a tsunami, and swiftly prompted fears of a nuclear meltdown.But experts said pictures of mist above the plant suggested only small amounts of radiation had been expelled as part of measures to ensure its stability,

far from the radioactive clouds that Chernobyl spewed out when it exploded in 1986. " The explosion at No. 1 generating set of the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan, which took place today, will not be a repetition of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, " said Valeriy Hlyhalo, deputy director of the Chernobyl nuclear safety center.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/12/japan-nuclear-plant-explosion_n_834867.html#161_cooling-the-damaged-reactor

As far as I can see, there hasn't been any major incident yet - at least that is what they are saying? Are you all suggesting to start taking these increased amounts right NOW, or, only if the plant actually has a meltdown? I am just confused about what is actually going on I guess. Thanks!!

The symbol on that map is a real organization. It's hard to determine what is real. Yes it probably should have been checked but he wanted to get data to the public. The fact remains that you will need extra iodine - how much. We don't know as we don't know true exposure data.

Re: Iodine and Children/Was iodine very important now!--Japan nuclea

Dr. Brownstein is obviously using the information from the map I have been talking about. It's a shame he didn't fact-check before using it.Also, my understanding is that iodine only protects from radioactive forms of iodine. If there are other forms of radiation (and there will be if radiation is released from the reactors), it won't protect you from them. Also, the half-life of I-131 is very short and will NOT remain in the soil for a long time.It is so important that we make sure we are not passing on misinformation in a matter as serious as this.Pamela

Yes, I heard that on the news while

driving home this morning as well.

Today i was watching about the tusnami in japan and an

official was saying about giving the people in the 6 mile radius of the nuclear

plant iodine pills to help prevent people dying of cancer from the fall out if

the reactor fails. they KNOW that iodine helps, they just hope people won't

really hear that message and it helps keep everything quiet so people remain

sick.

now this is a truth i believe. you can't believe what you are told. usually there is a lie somewhere. diane, near philly, pa On Mar 12, 2011, at 11:15 PM, Alison Trotta-Marshall wrote:Yes, but since when did governments tell the truthand the whole story?AliOn Mar 12, 2011, at 8:12 PM, Pamela wrote:There has definitely been a release of radiation from at least one of the reactors - some of it, at least, was intentional and controlled, in order to release pressure and to prevent an all-out meltdown. The radiation that has been released would not likely reach the United States, both because of the amount as well as the method of release (it was released into a series of filters intended to minimize the impact of the release).The only way there will definitely be an impact on the west coast or any other part of the United States, is if a significant amount of radiation is released in such a way that it enters the jet stream. So far, everything I've heard indicates that this type of emergency has been averted. I'm sure it's an emerging situation, though, and things could change quite suddenly, especially with the on-going after-shocks that could cause further damage.Pamela>> Thank you for the accurate and evolving updates regarding iodide/radiation> dangers along the west coast.
