Potassium Iodide
Potassium Iodide (KI) Can Shield You From Thyroid Cancer
ARE YOU PREPARED FOR A RADIATION EMERGENCY?
With 103 active commercial nuclear reactors in the United States, we live
in constant threat of a nuclear emergency every day. A terrorist attack on
any one of these facilities, or the release of a "dirty bomb" is also a
possibility in today's "highly charged" world. In fact, in an emergency,
if you live within 200 miles of a nuclear reactor, you have a high risk of
being exposed to significant doses of radioactive isotopes. In the event
of a nuclear accident or attack radioactive materials can be released into
the atmosphere, a high percentage of which is radioactive iodine. When a
radioactive iodine cloud passes through a populated area, the radiation is
concentrated into the thyroid gland of those exposed. The result is
irreparable damage to the thyroid, which can lead to cancer. The 1986
Chernobyl accident in the Ukraine is a tragic example.
The best protection against thyroid damage and thyroid cancer induced
by radioactive iodine exposure is Potassium Iodide. This simple compound
protects the thyroid by saturating all of the iodine binding sites in
the gland, leaving no room for the binding of radioactive iodine. Potassium
Iodide is a low-cost way to protect yourself and your family against the
long-term consequences of exposure to radiation. When used correctly,
potassium iodide tablets can prevent or reduce the amount of radioactive
iodine taken up by the thyroid gland. Even the government and the military
stocks up on potassium iodide in case of nuclear disaster.
The body can't distinguish between radioactive and the benign version
of iodine, which is necessary for thyroid function. Taking 130 mg of potassium
iodide, the dosage widely recommended for the blocking of radioactive
iodine in the event of a nuclear disaster, can quickly and completely
protect the thyroid gland, which is one of the organs most commonly damaged
by radioactive fallout.
Dr. Myatt's Wellness Club offers a supplement that contains 14 x 130
mg tablets of potassium iodide. Tablets are scored for easy breakage in
the case of any need for dosages smaller than 130 mg, as recommended for
children and pets. How many packages do you need? The FDA recommends that
you have one package per person available. Remember that during an emergency,
you may not be able to get to your home, thus it is recommended to have
packages stored in several places as well. Since the shelf life of this
product is virtually unlimited, you should have to purchase your supply
only once. Have this on hand for your family, and remember the children,
pets, grandchildren, too!
