Surgeon General: Buying Iodine a "Precaution"

LOL

Reminds me of all those people who ran and got a prescription for Tamiflu in case they got the flu(Avian or Bird Flu).

Problem is they have no idea when to administer or under what circumstances.

Let's move!

Can’t hurt.

Hmmmmm.....

Now I want sushi for dinner.

“she needs some dieting tips from Mooshelle”

Regina obviously has been dwelling in one of Moochelle’s food deserts.

But she is a fitting picture of what an Obama Surgeon General should look like.

Oh God......

She should NOT have gone there.....

(might not be a bad idea to check on the stocks of companies that make/sell Iodine pills)

Japan pegs their problem at level 4
France and the International Nuclear Agency(or some such) has it at a low level 6;
If it hits level 7, then the people are going to need their iodine pills. Unfortunately, there is not enough supply for the entire west coast. The prudent ones already have theirs. They are cheap, not like buying a gas mask or anything.

I read about iodine tablets some time last year or the year before, can’t remember which, anyway, I went to the local Walgreens as recommended by the CDC, and asked for the tablets. They looked at me like I had two heads, and had never heard of the CDC claim that said all pharmacies should have these tablets on hand. It was an uncomfortable moment.

Better to chow down on some kelp, miso soup, cruciferous veggies and beta carotene vegetables along with green tea and zero sugar if you want some practical protection from not only “bad” iodine but other nastyies, as this diet was successfully used in post-war Japan to treat radiation sickness.

Wanna bet she got into medical school on the black/female quota system!!! Dumb, dumb dumb.

I once fixed that picture to a letter. In that letter, Dr. Elders warned my friend that golf was dangerous to his health. He had recently been hit in the head by a player nearby.

I didn’t admit to writing the letter for months, in the meantime he’d asked just about everyone at the club.

He’s the only lefty at the club, so I figure he’d appreciate Jocelyn’s advice.

Any smokers out there? They're not finished with you yet.....

FDA weighs ban on Newports, other menthol cigarettes

Savage had a nuclear power engineer on the phone yesterday...he said all you need to do is eat a can of tuna once in a while, or any seafood, (not freshwater fish), in order to get enough iodine to be protected.
Let’s see...69 cents worth of tuna, or another bunch of price-inflated pills...what to do?

The Surgeon General is the last surgeon that I’d ever choose to operate on me.

In fact, no matter what the medical necessity, I’d take my chances without the surgery.
