Radiation Fears Lead to Potassium Iodide Hysteria
Potassium Iodide Runs Low as Americans Seek It Out
.....
The earthquake and tsunami in Japan has caused a slight meltdown in on of Japan's nuclear power plants and maybe some other potential meltdowns. Radiation levels in the area have increased, mostly affecting workers or those right near the plant. Radiation level increases in other parts of Japan are minimal most are blowing off to sea, which has sparked public hysteria on the West Coast of the United States. The public is terrified because they believe that the radiation levels will come to places like southern California and cause harm....

Does it help to rub Betadine on your body? Does ut help. I have some.
“a slight meltdown”
Oxymoron alert.
When drama queen Shep Smith says Americans need to be talked down off the ledge, you know its getting out of hand.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. u funny.
“a slight meltdown”
Forgive the second post, but a ‘slight meltdown’ of a nuclear reactor is like saying the Titanic had a ‘slight loss of buoyancy’.
"Don't worry, we're just stoppin' for ice."
Tiny fissures in fuel rods from overheating of the reactor core counts as a “meltdown” in cold technical terms.
‘Meltdown’ is more analogous to the term ‘fire’.
You can have a small fire in your house in the fireplace and not worry. A very large fire consuming the house is a different story.
Always be sure of the magnitude of a situation, don't just rely on emotionally loaded terms.
How does it interact with Vigara? Of course, I’m asking for a friend!
I just got a package from UPS half an hour ago and the driver and I were discussing the nucler situation briefly. He smiled and said there was a home he delivered a package to 15 mins. ago who had their house all sealed up. He smiled and said he did not ask why. I am central Fla.
Stiff neck.
woops! nucler s/b nuclear unless you wish to say nucular. lol!
Well in the technical terms a meltdown means that the reactor overheated. Now there are all levels of a meltdown, of course none are good, but there are still levels. The term “slight meltdown” might of not been the best term to use but it is still technically correct.
The news says they’re selling out of potassium iodide here in Michigan. We’re 7 or 8 thousand miles away. We got an almost imperceptible dusting from Mt St Helens.
I had already decided to add it to my supplements also and just received it today. I’m starting with 2-3 drops 3 days a week and see how that goes.
More people are going to die from anaphlactic shock than radiation. Keep up the good work media.
Would that be your female friend?
“Now there are all levels of a meltdown, of course none are good”
My point exactly. ‘Slight’ implies ‘not serious’ and when I look at three buildings blown to junk and one more with burning nuclear fuel rods then the word ‘slight’ just seems like utter BS to me.
It’s like being in a serious accident. The car can be completely totalled, but you come out of it uninjured. A serious accident, but a slight injury.
