Potassium Iodate for the North Korean Threat.

In my last post, I talked about what I would do if I was North Korea as a warning to what might happen. It’s no secret North Korea does have nukes and their ‘supreme leader’ is more off than a package of baloney cooking in the July sun.

It’s a pretty good recipe for disaster.  North Korea still blames the U.S.A for the war that happened in 1950-53.  Since then, they’ve been under increasing sanctions. Lately, the sanctions imposed by the U.N. and the rest of the world have been really tight, so trade is limited. Their people are starving as a result. They blame the U.S. directly.  We know they have nukes.  We know they are hungry and desperate. We know they have been backed into a corner.  What does an animal do when it’s backed into a corner? It attacks. As I explained in my article linked in the first paragraph, I believe North Korea has the means to smuggle in at the very least dirty nukes. This is why my friends at CampingSurvival have been very smart in their recent offerings.

Camping Survival now has a deal on a bottle of potassium iodate pills for only $14.95 with free shipping.  What is this? From their website:

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) stated July 1, 1998 in USE OF POTASSIUM IODIDE IN EMERGENCY RESPONSE:

“Potassium iodide, if taken in time, blocks the thyroid gland’s uptake of radioactive iodine and thus could help prevent thyroid cancers and other diseases that might otherwise be caused by exposure to airborne radioactive iodine that could be dispersed in a nuclear accident.”

What is the difference between Potassium Iodate (KIO3) and Potassium Iodide (KI)?

Both Potassium Iodate tablets (KI03) & Potassium Iodide tablets (KI) are THYROID BLOCKERS. They will both do the same job for adult users.

However, there are some subtle but important differences:

According to chemical manufacturers of the base chemicals of Potassium Iodate tablets (KI03) and Potassium Iodide tablets (KI): KIO3 has a health risk of “1″ (slight) KI has a health risk of “2″ (moderate) (Either of these are preferred over Radioactive Iodine from Nuclear Fallout.) KIO3 is not bitter, which means that children can take KIO3 with less difficulty than KI. This is extremely important: If children are the most susceptible to the harmful effects of Radioactive Iodine, then the possibility of children not able to take the pills or tablets or keep them down is dangerous. For this reason, we ask those of you who have children to purchase KIO3 instead of KI.

I encourage you to go there and read the entire article, it explains the what, why’s hows and wheres of protecting your thyroid in an irradiated environment.  Then buy some. It may be an important prep, especially if you live in a large, major urban center in the U.S.
