Are you taking your potassium iodide?
You can eat two tablespoons of sea vegetables (kelp is best) per day for an adult (one tablespoon for the little ones; mix it in their salads or other veggies) and get the amount of potassium iodide needed to keep your thyroid from absorbing radioactive iodides, in the event of a wash of radioactive debris from what’s blowing up over in Japan.
Yum, sea greens
This is what Ang eats; she noms on this stuff regularly, so she’ll be okay. But she does take an herbal tablet for her thyroid, which we’re rationing now in case everyone else here needs it. I can’t eat that stuff she’s holding in the pic; it tastes like fish food smells. You know, that stuff in the little shaker bottle that you feed your goldfish.
Anyway, if what we’re hearing is in the potentially radioactive cloud is in it (should such a thing even arrive here), it’s not going to help to eat kelp OR take potassium iodide. So here’s a great link for what all you can do to offset radioactive poisoning:

And this is a good one, too:

And of course, nothing should be construed here as medical advice. We’re just telling you what WE’RE doing. We stay prepared for these kinds of things. It’d be wise for you to be, too.

Jack, I am ordering in this, you might want to check it also.
Potassium iodate is sometimes used for iodination of table salt. Because iodide can be oxidized by molecular oxygen to iodine under wet conditions, US companies add thiosulfates or other antioxidants to the potassium iodide. In other countries, potassium iodate is used as source for iodine. It is also an ingredient in baby formula milk.
Like potassium bromate, potassium iodate is occasionally used as a maturing agent in baking.
[edit] Radiation protection Potassium iodate may be used to protect against accumulation of radioactive iodine in the thyroid by saturating the body with a stable source of iodine prior to exposure. Approved by the World Health Organization for radiation protection, potassium iodate (KIO3) is an alternative to potassium iodide (KI), which has poor shelf life in hot and humid climates.
The UK, Ireland, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, and US states Idaho and Utah are known[by whom?] to stock potassium iodate in tablet form.[citation needed] It is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a thyroid blocker, and the FDA has taken action against US websites that promote this use.
They now have a KI04 that is coated so it’s easier to swallow.
It boggles me some of the disinformation going on about KI…people won’t know how to saturate themselves, however. And KI only will protect from radioactive IODINE, not any other kinds of radioactivity, but radioactive iodine is a danger in low-level clouds that may reach the US coast. ANY form of KI is good for that kind of protection, which is why we’re doing a combination of things (kelp, chlorophyll, lemon juice/olive oil, N-Acetyl Cysteine) to supplement.
Potassium bromate, incidentally, will depress thyroid function. A lot of people don’t know that. Bromated/bromelated flour (which is what ALL American bread products use) helps destroy thyroid over time (this according to medical people we’ve talked to and should not be construed as medical advice. But we have a great naturopath.)
Is kelp what sushi is often wrapped in?
That’s sushi nori, it’s a different kind of seaweed, but they’re all seaweed, and seaweed has potassium iodide in it, naturally, so it’s the best source.
Dennis, I just learned that sushi nori (seaweed used in sushi) is extremely high in KI, so if we eat a sheet a day, we’d have enough to offset Ki deficiency; just thought I’d point that out. Sushi nori is the least expensive sea vegetable btw and they have it at most Buehler’s Buy-Lows.
I went to the Hong Kong Buffet in Marion last night and pigged out on sushi!
Ang loves sushi. I could do without it. But I eat seaweed chopped up on salads and rice and stuff….it’s pretty good, really.
…and isn’t it ironic that the population whose dietary habits seem to provide the most natural defense to radiation, have collectively suffered the most from it…
