Run on Iodine in US per a distributor
I ordered an Iodine/Potassium Iodide solution last night and then found something cheaper, so I cancelled the order. The order was cancelled without a problem but today I got an email from the distributor that said this:

"Your order was canceled. Getting a run on iodine over 100 bottles per day. Did you hear anything on the net about radiation, I know over 80% of the reactors in the US leak and that all nuclear reactors in the US would fail an inspection if done by inspectors from Russia. That is concerning."

Is THIS why Obama bought up all the Potassium Iodide?

I wrote him back and said that the 700k packs of sodium iodide the gov't is taking bids for worries me. He wrote this back:

"Exactly. I have over 50lbs of potassium iodide on hand at all times. I will be upping that to 100lbs. What concerns me is spring, the melting of the snow in the east. That is where most of the nuclear reactors are. The water supplies are the issue and the government knows that, that is why they are securing iodine and potassium iodide. Our sales of liters have went up 1000%. We usually make 10 gallons of product weekly, I have to double that."

scratching Is this guy just desperate for a sale?

I seriously doubt he's desperate for a sale, probably really is getting more orders than he can handle after all the recent news.

You can substitute topical iodine painted on your skin. See Kearney's book on surviving nuke war. You can download it for free from www.KI4U.com

Buy it at the feed store where they sell it for animal use.

Pfft, it's just a bandaid. Only protects against Cesium in the thyroid anyway.

Really just a stopgap measure to theoretically protect the thyroid, and to look like they're at least trying to do something, after the fact. When it's too late.

There's a run on Iodine right now because a bunch of fearmongering about Fukushima. It's always the same, a bunch of unfounded fears leads to big profits from whoever's selling the cure-all.

Re: Run on Iodine in US per a distributor
Jesus, enough with the fucking disinfo. Taking Iodine pills only protects you from Iodine-131, a fission byproduct with a half life of 8 days.

In two months, the I-131 from Fukushima would be at 0.4% of it's original radioactivity level. Half lives work exponentially, so at this point I would need to use scientific notation to represent how un-radioactive any Iodine from there would be today.

Once fission stops (which it did), no further I-131 is created. Even if there was, by the time it made it to the west coast there would not be much radioactivity left.

Re: Run on Iodine in US per a distributor
Making people panic and take Iodine could cause real damage.

From Wikipedia:

The ingestion of prophylaxis iodide & iodate is not without its dangers, There is reason for caution about taking potassium iodide or iodine supplements, as their unnecessary use can cause conditions such as the Jod-Basedow phenomena, and the Wolff-Chaikoff effect, trigger and/or worsen hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism respectively, and ultimately cause temporary or even permanent thyroid conditions. It can also cause sialadenitis (an inflammation of the salivary gland), gastrointestinal disturbances, allergic reactions and rashes. Potassium iodide is also not recommended for those who have had an allergic reaction to iodine, and people with dermatitis herpetiformis and hypocomplementemic vasculitis, conditions that are linked to a risk of iodine sensitivity.[21]

There are plenty of dangers from Fukushima but taking Iodine won't protect you from any of them and could cause harm.

In the drugstore they have tincture of iodine. Do not drink it. Applied topically it is ok and if you only have that paint a square foot of skin and your body will pull iodine in.

People do NOT take this stuff regularly, it will mess you up. This is an EMERGENCY ONLY dosage for a nuclear disaster and it doesn't mean the faraway Fukushima variety. Read up on it and know what you're putting in your body.
