iodine very important now!

[Guest guest]

An extremely tiny piece of reactor core sheathing  made it to the top of the science building air quality and testing unit where I went to university in Bellingham, Washington from Chernobyl. We discussed that in physics class as the radiation level was off the charts. They made many predictions and guesses about this chunk.

 There was major dairy industry in the county then, we talked if a cow had eaten it then all the milk would be radioactive and later the meat and so on. Basically just drinking the milk of the cow enough dose to create potential cancers for some people. Anyways the spread can be farther than you think would happen logically. Pam

incident back in the 1980's - nuclear fallout was measured in very high doses across North America.As most of you probably know, iodine is the body's first line of defense against radiation poisoning,as it attacks the thyroid first and most intensely and if you can take adequate doses of iodine everyday

for the first 30 days of exposure, you will be far less likely to get cancer, etc in 5 to 20 yrs or so. Hopefully, all will be OK in Japan at the reactor sites but if not, make sure to take your iodine!Ariel

What kind of a dose of Iodoral would be considered “protective” in the case of nuclear fallout?

[Guest guest]

Here is what Wikipedia says about dosage for protection from radioactive

fallout:

Yes, or Lugol's. However, if they are saying 130mg of potassium iodide,

that would mean a larger dose of Lugol's/Iodoral.

Also, people don't forget your companion animals.

Just ordered some iodoral from iherb. No problem there so far.

I'm sorry, were you talking about the 'mainstream medical community' when you

used the oxymoron " Medical logic " ?
