Potassium Iodide & Radiation, Thyroid Blocking

That book has been THE most popular nuclear survival guide
for years. Pages 110-116 are on the thyroid and potassium
iodide.

It can cost you up to $20 on Amazon, this is free,
pass on that link.

I heard some people are getting sick from taking potassium
iodide already when there is no imminent radiation exposure
to them yet. It only should be taken up to 24 hours before
it is known to hit at a dangerous level.

Also, it should be USP or FCC (drug and food grade) I believe
and NOT ACS (American Chemical Society). ACS can be more
pure but the impurities can be toxic. USP and FCC can be less
pure but the impurities at least should be able to be taken
internally. Do your own research - I'm only bringing this up
because a lot of people on ebay are selling junk that can
potentially be toxic and most people have on idea what they're
doing when buying this stuff.

Potassium iodide toxicity?...

Potassium iodide was traditionally used in the 1800s in therapeutic doses ranging in grams per day.

"Snake Oil (salesmen)" was a term coined by the American Medical Establishment during their 1920s attack on Lugol's solution. Iodoral is the pill form of Lugol's. A DYI to improve the palatability of diatomic iodine, which is the premise behind Iodoral, is to pre-mix MSM and optionally DMSO with Lugol's (or iodine water purification tablets pre-dissolved in a minimum of water), add lemon juice and fill the glass (not plastic) with water.

Maintenance doses are in the range of milligrams per day.

A common misconception among us is that soy foods are bad for us. I disagree. We're bad for us; our thyroid is not up to par. Consequentially, soy won't be metabolized properly since iodide/iodine has a lot to do with metabolism. Seaweed extensively used during meals and on cropland gives the average urban Japanese 100 times more daily iodide than the standard American fair. Coastal Japanese probably get much more, but is undocumented. Standard US Gov. minimums for saturating the body immediately prior to a nuclear event is 1,000 times the minimum RDA and is the correct daily RDA, 100 mg iodide, or 120 mg potassium iodide for a full bodied adult. World Health Organization admits that iodine is the best method for preventing mental retardation in children and fetuses.

Two independent studies, one in Detroit and another in Transylvania (yeah, don't freak out, there's actually a place in Europe called by this name!), verified to the researchers' satisfaction that anyone over the age of 50 has a high probability of having an atrophied thyroid unaccustomed to daily doses of iodine/iodide above attrition levels. So, it can take 50+ year olds up to two years for the thyroid to adjust to elevated iodine/iodide intake - even if the increase is supposed to be good for a normal person, ie. a young person. Thus, caution for the elderly, is advised whenever considering their increased ingestion of iodide and iodine products.

Also, beware of doctor's ploy to indoctrinate us into thinking that iodine/iodide is bad for us above our mRDA. I had a friend relate to me that his doctor gave him a hormone containing iodine. My friend had an immediate allergic reaction turning beet red! It's not the iodine; it's the hormone that gave that reaction.

The cheapest form of potassium iodide is NOW brand, 60 ct., 30mg, for around $10.

It can take several months to over a year for the body to "saturate" itself with iodide/iodine, 'cuz the body flushes the stuff out so fast. In other words, the body retains none. So, why wait for a catastrophe?

Some poisons can be eliminated from the body more quickly with the help of elevating our iodide (not iodine) intake. I'm not sure what role diatomic iodine has on eliminating poisons from our body. But iodide, in the form of potassium iodide, is a first aid toolkit - not for the medicine cabinet, but - for the kitchen cabinet.

Oh, and BTW...
A chemist on YouTube pronounced iodine to rhyme with bromine, fluorine, chlorine, etc. I think our choice for mispronouncing the term is probably a subtle ploy to get us confused on this topic. In other words, diatomic iodine has valuable assets unique to itself by comparison to its ionic counterpart, iodide.

UPDATE
Maria Franco asked...
Vinyasi: question; Its that true that Soya in general nowadays it not that healthy to ingest??

Depends whether or not you take it like the Asian culture has taught itself over time to always include lots of seaweed and/or other sea foods in the diet. I suspect it's the iodine which helps digest soy? In fact, at least one American manufacturer of soy milk used to list seaweed as an ingredient, but a misunderstood iodine scare tactic has been raging of late causing most brands of soymilk to exclude seaweed from their preparations.

Comment: Dr. Brownstein's research suggests that an elevated TSH goes back to normal after 6 months on iodine therapy. TSH regulates the sodium-iodide symporter which promotes iodine uptake by the thyroid gland. In some people who are iodine deficient, TSH rises to up-regulate this symporter.

Consequently, I ignore the scare tactics of somewhat retarded Medical Establishment IQs...

A new syndrome, medical iodophobia, was recently reported (1) with symptoms of split personality, double standards, amnesia, confusion and altered state of consciousness. Medical iodophobia has reached pandemic proportion and it is highly contagious (iatrogenic iodophobia). A century ago, non-radioactive forms of inorganic iodine were considered a panacea for all human ills, but today, they are avoided by physicians like leprosy (2). We have previously discussed the factors involved in this medical iodophobia (24). If iodine deficiency is the cause of medical iodophobia, this syndrome would become self-perpetuating. Unfortunately, physicians are afraid of the element that is, most likely, the cure of their phobia.

Such a scare is born of ignorance of a pair of studies done independent of each other in both Detroit and Transylvania which recommended care should be taken by anyone over the age of 50 who decide to rapidly increase their iodine intake if they've never taken adequate amounts (1-100 milli grams daily) in their life since this can have the opposite effect for up to two years until they readjust supported by Dr. Brownstein's research cited above. This suggests that all of us should exercise caution, not just the middle aged or elderly.

The tradition surrounding Count Dracula may have arisen from the high incidence of goiter in and around Transylvania due to low iodine in their diets giving them swollen thyroids (making it look like someone has bitten their necks) and stupidity, the latter of which the Count is famous for and the former of which the local inhabitants are known to be prone to.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has been claiming for years that iodine deficiency is the easiest problem of mental retardation in children to prevent...

On a personal note, I learned nearly a decade ago from deduction that kelp in my daily diet prevented involuntary "shakes" and tremors and ticks in the hand and face. So, whenever I boil a liquid recipe, such as quinoa, rice, durum noodles, or beans, I always add a heaping spoonful of powdered seaweed.
