What does Potassium Iodide do for you? What type of preventive medicine are you practicing?

"What does Potassium Iodide do for you?" It saturates your thyroid with iodine, to prevent uptake of radioactive iodine. The best info resource I've found is www.ki4u.com.

I'm sorry, I got disconnected. Potassium Iodide will protect your body from radiation poisoning.

Radioactive Iodine collects in the Thyroid Gland. The Potassium (Iodine) dosage is used to saturate the gland with Iodine thus preventing the collection of the radioactive form.
