Come on. Its not like Barry has time to deal with each and every little catastrophe in the world. Prime Tee times are hard to get.
By the way some guy just called in to Alex Jones and said the Iodide in his area is gone so he went to the Pharmacy to get the Pharmacist to issue him a prescription of it. Apparently some of his friends asked their doctors and pharmacists the same question and were told that the govt had told the doctors and pharmacists not to issue scrips for idodide as it was not needed at this time. Very interesting especially since this is an over the counter product.
If you cannot find iodide go to the health food store and buy Kelp capsules. We picked up a bottle yesterday just to be on the safe side. $5.99 for 100 capsules.
Some self-appointed experts claim that instead of taking KI, its far more practical and convenient for people at risk from exposure to radioactive iodine to protect themselves simply by taking a dietary supplement product containing kelp. Well, lets see how smart these experts really are?
For adults, the FDA recommends a daily dose of 130 milligrams of potassium iodide for radiation protection. On the other hand, a kelp supplement tablet at GNC contains 150 micrograms of iodine, which is the standard nutritional dose. Thats micrograms, not milligrams. Since there are 1,000 micrograms in one milligram, one would have to consume 666 kelp tablets a day to get an equivalent dose. 666 tablets a day as opposed to a single KI pill. Now thats practical and convenient.
And dont forget the warnings on the kelp product. Consumers are limited to only one tablet a day, and the label cautions against use if you are pregnant, nursing, or are taking a prescribed iodine medication or have a known sensitivity to iodine or hyperthyroidism. And kelp nutritional products are not approved for pharmaceutical use or manufactured in accordance with FDA standards for pharmaceutical products.
