Buying potassium Iodide in the uk?

Anybody know how or where? I'm really not buying the "its safe" party line on Fukushima. The reports are so mixed swinging between no contamination/fallout to  the core's exposed and we're all going to die. Me and my thyroid gland intend intend to be fully prepared, so if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. By the way have checked 50 plus on line sites and they are all all completely sold out, which i think is telling.

Well, you could buy "Prolamine Iodine" manufactured by Standard Process.
Or "Iodomere" by ???.  Or "Lugols Solution" by ???  Probably can find these
online... probably even on Amazon.com or eBay!

Note however that folks with ES might be really sensitive to taking iodine
supplements, so you'd better figure out in advance how much you can
tolerate without adverse effect (this stuff can mobilize a lot of stored toxins
in the body).

Also, dried seaweed products are loaded with iodine...

Do you have any thoughts as to how serious this may or may not be. You always have such a level head on such matters.

I wasn't planning on worrying about it... and I live on the west coast of

Actually, since the half life of radioactive iodine (I-131) is 8 days,
it will essentially burn out about the time it crosses the east coast of
the USA. Hence, I doubt you will get any I-131 in Europe. The purpose of
taking Potassium Iodine is to fill up the receptor sites in the thyroid
and other body tissues, so there is no place for the radioactive iodine
to attach. Since I have already been treating my hypothroid and low body
temperature with iodine from vitaroyalproducts.com, I'm as prepared as
can be.

The other half of the fallout, will be Cs-137 (Cesium-137), and there
are no precautions we can take, besides the standard nuclear fallout
things, like staying inside, and not letting the outside air in while it
is above alert levels. I understand there was a lot of Cs137 in eastern
europe after Cherynobyl.

The more reactors they _admit_ on the news having a problem, the more
worried I'll be. Only time will say how many microRems/hr we will get
here. I have a beta and gamma radiation detector, so I'll know if or
when it arrives.

A doc on radio show here in the US says to just buy some Iodine in the health food store. I have some for my thryroid here in dropper form. Loni

You can buy from www.iherb.com They ship overseas as far as I know
I have a code, TEV-814 you can use for $5 off your first order. Anyone can use it, that's my reward for spreading the word. They have really good prices and cheap shipping

http://www.radiationnetwork.com/index.htm Here's a monitor link.
It doesn't however measure the radioactive particulate from the cesium,
strontium, uranium and plutonium that is here/coming.

I think it would be prudent to have the iodine on hand, because chances are high US reactors will go down the road too.

All the detox. things we use here are helpful for our already existing radiation sickness can be applied to this stuff as well.

Great to know you are watching for us all Stewart! Wish it could read alpha particles too.

Also, having enough necessary elements that are close to the unwanted, will help prevent uptake of the nasty ones, just like eliminating mercury or aluminum.

I can't find the page, but it's out there. When deficient in say selenium, certain elements are absorbed into their spaces, likewise with chromium, etc. So being well mineralized will help keep your body from being so friendly to the unwanted elements.

Yes, I agree... for ES, some of us are already taking antioxidants,
minerals, thyroid support supplements, and radiation-protective
herbs (e.g. ginseng, tumeric).  A "normal person" is doing none
of this.

Hi, Betty,
 
THis used to be an over the counter supplement, but about a decade ago they made it prescription only here in the states.  I took it to keep mucus under control (for chronic bronchial asthma).  I no longer have a prescription for it and I am kicking myself for that, too--I have been going to go back to the doctor for years for one and kept putting it off.  If you can, get SSKI potassium iodide.  Some are just taking iodine tablets for the nuke fallout, tho.
 
I hope all is well with you; I have missed you posting lately,
Diane

hi, again,
 
I am very sensitive to iodine and I like the liquid drops--just put one drop in a large bottle of water and shake up.  Then you don't even need to drink the entire bottle of water--just drink a small amount at a time.

Hi Diane
I am also sensitive to iodine. What do you think causes this problem?

Well they say that some people are allergic to iodine, so that might
account for some problems...

Otherwise, iodine can displace a lot of toxins that are in your body,
so you can have a bad reaction to all of these toxins that have now
entered your bloodstream.  If this is the problem, then you should
be able to start out with a low amount and build up over time.

Marc

Thanks so much Marc.

I hope it is as you say because I am having some kidney pain when I take iodine and this really worries me.My creatinin and urea is fine so not sure what that kidney pain means.

I don't know your pain cause, but what might help your kidneys (I used after auto accident), 1/2t. bakingsoda in glass water and bromelain.

Box says you can use up to 7x/day on the baking soda for heartburn.

With regards to kidney pain, it is entirely possible that the Iodine is detoxing the body at too fast of a rate, which would over-load the kidneys.
This happens frequently with oral doses of any chelating substance. A safer way to use Iodine is to use it transdermally- via the skin. Applying
Iodine drops to the belly button or bottom of feet  in SMALL DOSES** only a few  drops at a time, will bypass the kidneys and liver, thereby
being much gentler on organs, such as the kidneys and liver. In cases where people are ultra sensitive to supplements, using very low doses
and applying to skin instead of swallowing, may make supplementation much easier for the body to handle. *This is a case of more is NOT
always better....start slow and with LOW doses...and try taking the liquid Iodine via the skin. And slowly, very slowly, build up the amt you take.
Baking Soda , a quarter teaspoon with a glass of water...helps the kidneys tremendouly. Google Mark Sircus Baking Soda/Sodium Bicarbonate
for more information on this.
Blessings,
