IOSAT: Radiation Protection for Your Family

By Ben from Ready Store

In the event of a nuclear accident, radioactive iodine could be released into the air and absorbed by the thyroid, damaging it and potentially killing you. This deadly chemical from nuclear warfare can remain in the air for several days, so it's best to be prepared. IOSAT is a small tablet that contains potassium iodide(a safe preventative counter-reactor to iodine). When Potassium Iodide is taken, it floods the thyroid with a stabilized iodine, preventing 99% percent of the damage caused by radioactive nuclear fallout, such as thyroid cancer and other complications.

IOSAT is safe for all members of your family to take in a radiation emergency-even your dog or cat! It should be taken 30 minutes prior to exposure, and only when public health officials tell you. Defense experts recommend keeping a supply on hand for each family member, considering deadly radioactive chemicals can remain in the air for several days.

The recommended dosage is as follows: Adults and children 1 year of age or older: One (1) tablet once a day. Babies under 1 year of age: One-half (1/2) tablet once a day. Crush for infants and small children. For dogs 25-30 lbs, one-quarter (1/4) tablet once a day. A 10 lb dog/cat would take 1/8 tablet daily. Crush and put it in their food, and be sure to consult with your Veterinarian to be sure your pet hasno allergies or problems with potassium.

It is easy to think that this kind of emergency could never happen here, but we must be prepared for all disasters, and IOSAT is a simple, inexpensive way to protect your family in a radiation emergency. As a final note, beware of unapproved potassium iodide and iodate illegally sold for emergencies.

How on Earth will you 'positively' know when you are 30 minutes prior to exposure? Very hard to believe that Defense Experts will be active and on the job to tell you if a Nuclear event does happen!!!

You wouldn't. However it would probably be safe to take, barring any allergies, and at first notification of a large nuclear event hitting the U.S. I would recommend giving each family member at least the first daily dose immediately buying you time for at least 24 hours to see if you need to continue your medication, e.g. widespread nuclear fall out versus 1 isolated impact. If it's large scale attack or a close hit within 60 miles or so you'll be covered and if 1 nuke is detonated high up, 2-3 miles in the atmosphere, EMP, then most states surrounding that area 1-2000 mile center will be out of power. Hopefully you've thought a head and have a protected portable radio with good batteries stored in a home made Faraday cage. Those can be made wrapping a shoe box with about 2-3 layers of heavy duty aluminum foil. Keeps the radio and batteries from getting fried from the EMP. Then you can listen for reports if it's wide spread or isolated incident in 1 location. I replace my pills every 7 years and yes, I do have a portable radio in a metal file cabinet that I keep fresh batteries in. Troubled times we live in makes it necessary to protect my loved ones, in a shtf scenario.

I have had my thyroid surgically removed due to illness. What implications would that have in the event of a nuclear scenario. Would I need the iodine ?

No. If you've had your thyroid removed, there is no longer a benefit to taking iodine as a response to a radiological event. You would still inhale/uptake radioactive iodine, but it won't accumulate in you're thyroid (since you've had yours removed). Any radioiodine uptake would be excreted from your body in your urine.
