Re: Iodine and Children/Was iodine very important now!--Japan nuclea

Before we went on Lugol's my husband and I were taking SSKi, 120 mg/day. We were fine. I think it would be OK to do this indefinitely - we sure plan to (along with the Lugol's).When you add this to the depleted uranium, the leftover chernobyl radiation (half-life of millions of years) plus all the other lingering radiation...well that's alot.

ONE dose? Seriously? Like a nuclear fallout “cloud” passes by in one day? I don’t get it. I thought this problem hung around for quite a long while, given the Chernobyl evidence. How long would one of you more educated folks take these higher doses?

And would I assume a higher nutrient support panel?

As far as I can see, there hasn't been any major incident yet - at least that is

what they are saying? Are you all suggesting to start taking these increased

amounts right NOW, or, only if the plant actually has a meltdown? I am just

confused about what is actually going on I guess. Thanks!!

Dr. Brownstein is obviously using the information from the map I have been

talking about. It's a shame he didn't fact-check before using it.

Also, my understanding is that iodine only protects from radioactive forms of

iodine. If there are other forms of radiation (and there will be if radiation

is released from the reactors), it won't protect you from them. Also, the

half-life of I-131 is very short and will NOT remain in the soil for a long

time.

It is so important that we make sure we are not passing on misinformation in a

matter as serious as this.

To add to this - he did not use the map on his blog post. Just in the draft he sent to me.

Today i was watching about the tusnami in japan and an official was saying about giving the people in the 6 mile radius of the nuclear plant iodine pills to help prevent people dying of cancer from the fall out if the reactor fails. they KNOW that iodine helps, they just hope people won't really hear that message and it helps keep everything quiet so people remain sick.

Thank you for the accurate and evolving updates regarding iodide/radiation dangers along the west coast. I have a lot of under-informed family members with thyroid issues there, who probably think I’m a nut, but I care for them and want to know how best to suggest they care for their health. While I do not want to over-react, and I don’t want to seem like a fringe person, it only makes sense to me that that area will most definitely have some impact from the Japanese situation. So my core question at the moment: Has there been definite radiation leakage there yet, or not? Is this hypothetical or real at this moment?

March 12, 2011

This blogger says the radiation could reach the west coast in 36 hours. I

lived in Southern Germany during Chernobyl and gardened in the rain the Sunday

following the incident. Konstanz was a place where they did testing for

radioactiveness in the soil.

There has definitely been a release of radiation from at least one of the

reactors - some of it, at least, was intentional and controlled, in order to

release pressure and to prevent an all-out meltdown. The radiation that has

been released would not likely reach the United States, both because of the

amount as well as the method of release (it was released into a series of

filters intended to minimize the impact of the release).

The only way there will definitely be an impact on the west coast or any other

part of the United States, is if a significant amount of radiation is released

in such a way that it enters the jet stream. So far, everything I've heard

indicates that this type of emergency has been averted. I'm sure it's an

emerging situation, though, and things could change quite suddenly, especially

with the on-going after-shocks that could cause further damage.

WHEN and IF a significant release of radiation occurs and it enters the jet

stream, then that estimate is much more likely than the one that indicated a

deadly dose would reach the west coast 10 days after the release. I believe it

would take between 36-60 hours, depending on the jet stream, which can travel at

different speeds and along different paths. It would depend how quickly it was

moving and how circuitous its route is.

Think about the weather...how long does it take for weather from Japan to reach

the United States? That's about how long it would take for radiation to reach

us.

Think, too, about Chernobyl. Radiation travelled almost all the way around the

world (travelling the long way from west to east) before it reached the US.

That took 9 days. The distance from Japan to the west coast is about 1/3 the

distance from Chernobyl to the west coast. 1/3 of 9 days is 3 days. I have a

feeling that air moves more slowly over land than it does water and that since

it would not be encumbered by land, it would travel a little more quickly.

I vote we believe the commenters who say the earthquake was the work of aliens!

Seems to be the most logical explanation. Or the conspiracy theorist who

refuses to cite his sources that this entire tragedy is a result of

electromagnetic warfare! Good laughs in the midst of such loss.

Seriously, the author of this post seems to be the most rational that I've read.

Of course, I think so because he's saying exactly what I've been saying since

yesterday!

Actually, the fact remains that you MIGHT need extra iodine. No significant

release of radiation has occurred and until it does, EVERYTHING is sheer

speculation. Because of that, it's irresponsible to quote unreliable sources

that indicate people will die en masse in California 10 days after a radiation

release. If somebody were to research the effects of exposure to 750 rads of

radiation, they'd probably ask why bother taking iodine. They'd be dead from

the Cesium or Strontium although their thyroid would be protect from I-131.

THAT IS RIDICULOUS! Why would a country that has been as devastated as Japan

want a significant number of its citizens to be so sick? They will need

everybody possible to help recover from this tragedy.

I heard it mentioned several times, starting on Friday, that they were

distributing Iodine pills. And it's to prevent them from getting thyroid cancer

- not any other kind of cancer.

Remember, too that this is the Japanese government. I think you are imparting

to it qualities of the government of the USA - unless you know what their

government is like, that's unfair.

Pamela

March 12, 2011

Independent organizations have also been monitoring the situation and nobody has

indicated that any significant release has occurred. We do not have to rely on

government for our information. Trust me - there are anti-nuclear power

contingents who are watching very carefully - and who will blow the whistle as

soon as possible because it advances their anti-nuclear arguments.
