The latest news
indicates that Nuclear Power plants, over 100 in our country, are at
risk from a terrorist attack. A radiation leak from any one of
these plants could be carried downwind for hundreds of miles,
potentially poisoning thousands or even millions of people in large
population areas. Unfortunately, a Nuclear Power Plant has over
100 times more radioactive materials than an Atomic Bomb, which can be
released as fallout. One of the most abundant components released is
Radioactive Iodine 131 that is then carried downwind for hundreds of
miles. Thyroid cancer attributable to Chernobyl has been documented
more than 300 miles from the accident site.
Very small amounts of inhaled or ingested Radioactive Iodine can do serious damage
because it will always be absorbed and held in the thyroid gland.
Eventually, by absorbing a large amount of radiation in the thyroid,
abnormalities are likely to result, such as nodules in the thyroid, loss
of thyroid function, or thyroid cancer. Taking Potassium Iodate
(KiO3)
in the event of fallout will saturate a person’s thyroid gland
with stable ("good")
iodine, so the Radioactive Iodine cannot be absorbed by
the thyroid. Because the thyroid is saturated with the "good"
Iodine, then any Radioactive Iodine that is later inhaled or ingested is
quickly eliminated by the body. Potassium Iodate
(KiO3)
is now being stockpiled by many
government agencies.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Would it help if I started taking
KiO3 now…just in case?
A. NO! Do not take any thyroid blocker
now. You will be wasting your supply. It will not help you
unless you are caught in fallout.
Q. When will the authorities tell us to
start?
A. They will tell you that Fallout is headed your way
and you should start taking KiO3 or Ki about 3 to 12 hours
before the fallout arrives.
Q. How many people will a bottle of
KiO3 cover in case of a nuclear disaster?
A. First let’s set the figure for a
"medium" event at 25 days (3 half-lives of
radioactive Iodine 131), one 200 tablet
bottle will protect:
a) 4 Adults ( age
12 years and up) OR
b) 8 Children (age 3
years to 12 years) OR
c) 16 Young Children (age
1 month to 3 years) OR
d) 32 Babies (age newborn
to 1 month)
Keep in mind that it is possible to have more than one
event OR an ongoing event as happened at Chernobyl.
Q. I am allergic to Iodine and it gives me a
rash. Should I not take a thyroid blocker?
A. That should always be your choice. However, if
Iodine gives you a rash then, Radioactive Iodine
(I-131) will also give
you a rash!
Q. I have a Thyroid problem and my doctor says I
should avoid foods that contain Iodine. What should I do?
A. That is a tough question. Iodine can cause
some serious problems in some Thyroid patients. Radioactive
Iodine-131 is Iodine and can be deadly for babies and young
children. One who has a Thyroid condition that requires the
avoidance of Iodine will still be subjected to Iodine in the form of
Radioactive Iodine-131. Talk to your doctor and try to come to a
decision together.
Q. You carry
KiO3
, but I have seen Ki for sale also. Is Ki any
good?
A. Ki is a Thyroid Blocker and it works. There
are distinct advantages to KiO3, but Ki will work to block
the Thyroid.
Q. Which is safer,
KiO3
or Ki?
A. According to Material Safety Data Sheets
(MSDS) KiO3
(our Thyroid
Blocker) is safer to use. KiO3
has a Health Risk of 1---slight. Ki, has a Health Risk of
2—moderate. However, compared to Radioactive Iodine, a Health
Risk of 2 for Ki means nothing.
Q. Which would be best for babies, children and
adults, Ki or KiO3?
A. KiO3 because it is easier to
dose,
KiO3 is not bitter in the stomach therefore
babies, pets and the ill are able to can keep it down easier.
Q. What is the shelf life of Potassium Iodate?
A. According to the manufacturer, the shelf-life is
"Theoretically Unlimited". This means that it will be good for 10 years
or more if not exposed to excessive heat. Note the fact that the sealed
bottles are air tight.
Q. Is there a shelf-life
guarantee?
A. Yes. At any time after you purchase KiO3
from any of our distributors or from us directly, and you believe it is
damaged, or you just want to rotate your supply - return the
empty bottle to the manufacturer along with $8.00 for each bottle
and they will send you a new fresh full bottle for every one of your old
bottles.
