Iodine - Surgeon General

Iodine

Iodine Pills

Careful, some people are allergic to iodine (& shellfish).

Whatever the Federal government recommends, do the opposite.

Just because some people are allergic to iodine doesn't make them shellfish.

Sorry but that won't be anywhere near enough. this is a microgram. mcg. what you want is ml. Mililiters. about 130ml. 1000 mcg = 1 ml.

To use regular iodine, liquid (lq) would be better when you are unable to find the pills.

It is unlikely that anyone will be able to find the tablets at this late stage but the next best thing is Iodine 2% USP in the Liquid form. (has to be USP, keep out of reach of children) Brush it onto your forearm once a day for 14 days (at least 7) and you should be good. At minimum 30 minutes before exposure. Walgreens or anyother drug store should have it. If you have the tablets it should be 130 mg a day for 14 days. Most health food stores have micro grams. 1000 Micrograms =1 miligram. The best I saw at the healthfood store is 250 mcg.

Full info about how to use it is here:

"Radioactive Iodine (Radioiodine) is a major radioisotope constituent of both nuclear power plant accidents and nuclear bomb explosions and can travel hundreds of miles on the winds. Thyroid cancer attributable to Chernobyl "...has been documented up to 500 km from the accident site." The maximum measured radioactive contamination of milk in the United States by radioiodine from the Chernobyl disaster was in milk produced by cows grazing on pasture in Washington: 560 picocuries per liter. Customary levels are normally 2-3 picocuries per liter." FYI, for the FDA to intervene, milk needs to have 4590 picocuries.

"The good news is that taking either Potassium Iodide (KI) or Potassium Iodate (KIO3) before exposure will saturate (fill up) a persons thyroid gland with safe stable iodine to where there is no room for later uptake of radioactive iodine. Once the thyroid is saturated, then any additional iodine (radioactive or stable) that is later inhaled or ingested is quickly eliminated via the kidneys."

here is a great resource about how to use the liquid form.
Here is the money quote:

"According to research by Health Physicist Ken Miller, Hershey Medical Center, using 24 healthy adult male subjects, an adult could get a blocking dose of stable iodine by painting 8 ml of a 2 percent tincture of Iodine on the abdomen or forearm approximately 2 hours prior to I-131 contamination. The abstract of his study titled "Effectiveness of Skin Absorption of Tincture of I in Blocking Radioiodine from the Human Thyroid Gland" from Health Physics, June 1989, Vol. 56, No. 6, pages 911-914, states:

"Although there were large variations within each subject group in regard to serum-I levels and thyroid uptakes, the increase in serum-I concentration after topical-I application was effective in reducing the thyroid uptake of I131. The authors conclude that in the absence of KI, most humans would benefit from topical application of tincture of-I, and that in some the effectiveness would equal that of oral KI."

It looks like it didn't get through so I am doing this again. If a double post you can delete this one.

That is not enough that is Micro Grams (mcg). What you need is 130 ml. (daily for 14 days) 1000 mcg = 1 ml.

Before the schumer hits the fan, I look first to James Wesley, Rawles and his Survivalblog.com for guidance. He was a great resource of what is real and isn't and where to look for the next step. It is after looking at drudge that seeing that 3 reactors were going to cook off and remembering this picture I headed off to SB and he had this to say:

"Notes from JWR:I've been deluged with questions from readers--especially in Alaska and Hawaii, about the risk of radioactive fallout from Japan. First, I must mention that the trans-Pacific fallout map purported to be from Australian authorities now circulating is a fraud. I don't think it is likely that any significant radiation would make it to Hawaii, Alaska or the west coast of CONUS, even if there are multiple melt-downs in Japan. But as I've written previously, keep your potassium iodate or iodide handy, buy some dehydrated milk, and keep close track of radiation levels. "

OK Grin - my first chuckle of the morning(other than me amusing myself).

Never let a good crisis go to waste! Use your time wisely - by filling out your brackets! Especially since it was raining in D.C. on Tuesday and you couldn't play golf - you moronic putz pretender in the White House!

If no potassium iodide tabs available, paint a plain old tincture of iodine patch on your skin before the radioactive clouds float over and it will at least be absorbed into your body and eventually your thyroid gland.
From article:
""Our quantitative determinations prove that iodine which penetrates through the skin is removed only slowly from within this area into the body, thus forming an iodine depot in the skin for several days. In this prolonged retention of iodine within the skin, we see a favorable condition for a possible local prophylactic and therapeutic action.""

So all I have to do is paint my dick with iodine and everything will be cool, right?
