How does Potassium Iodate (KI03) pill provide radiation protection?
Going back to June 23, 1966, the New England Journal of Medicine. Vol. 274 on Page 1442 states: “The thyroid gland is especially vulnerable to atomic injury since radioactive isotopes of iodine are a major component of fallout.” Cresson H. Kearny, the author of Nuclear War Survival Skills, Original Edition Published September, 1979, by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a Facility of the U.S. Department of Energy (Updated and Expanded 1987 Edition) states on page 111: “There is no medicine that will effectively prevent nuclear radiations from damaging the human body cells that they strike. However, a salt of the elements potassium and iodine, taken orally even in very small quantities 1/2 hour to 1 day before radioactive iodines are swallowed or inhaled, prevents about 99% of the damage to the thyroid gland that otherwise would result. The thyroid gland readily absorbs both non-radioactive and radioactive iodine, and normally it retains much of this element in either or both forms. When or
