What One Ought To Consider Before Buying Potassium Iodide

As Japan battles against time in dealing with the catastrophic events that have taken place, a lot of people today all all over the world have rushed out to purchase potassium iodide and comparable emergency resources. National Public Radio hosted experts in the field of emergency preparedness, and some have shared their utmost concern of lots of of these worried individuals that are going out to buy out these resources like potassium iodide. It has been reported that anywhere persons attempt to buy potassium iodide, it has been sold out pretty much anywhere.

Of course the leading concern here is preparedness in the event the worse were to happen in Japan. But there is also a grave concern that various people may not be well educated in how to properly use some of these tools nor prepare for such an emergency. As one of the NPR interviewers stated, "...men and women which are going out there and are using potassium iodine without their body needing to be using it is simply idiotic...they can actually create more harm to themselves than good".

With that being said, it can also be noted that it may still be a good idea to have some of these resources available in the event the worse should happen. It may be wortwhile to note that potassium iodide is one of those resources that the FDA and alternative health sources actually seem to agree about inside the case of battling against radiation.

As stated by The Activist Post, "KI (potassium iodine) works by flooding the thyroid with non-radioactive Iodine which thereby prevents the uptake of the radioactive Iodine molecules. These molecules are then released through the urine. That being said, it should be noted that KI is not a general protection agent against radiation. KI ONLY prevents the thyroid from absorbing radioactive iodine. Therefore, one should not look at KI as a general "sun-block" version of radiation protection. "

The old addage of "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound in cure" may be very well in effect here. However, it behooves folks to become even more responsible and do their research before creating more harm to their body by taking something it doesn't need. Otherwise, it may be an even worse situation than dealing with the potential of radiation that may never reach them.

That being stated, our hearts go out to all who have suffered and continue to suffer due to these tragic events, and a great deal of gratitude goes to those who are doing something to help our friends in need. It may be good to remember that we are all connected and may be affected at anytime by a tragic even such as the ones that have been flaring up recently.
