Isn't it Potassium Iodate that one needs for thyroid protection in case of a Nuclear catastrophe? Or do they yield the same result of loading down the thyroid with elemental iodine? I know this is how the Potassium Iodate from Medical Corps works. It would be nice to know that there is another alternative.

It can be capsulated at home using a home encapsulator (also cheap) which can be purchased from some health food stores, otherwise from S.L. Anderson in CA 1(530)589-3062. Don't forget to order the 'tamper' with the encapsulator. The Potassium Iodide weighs 25.76 gm per tablespoon assuming it is not too finely ground. Divide by 12 and now you have a weight of about 2 gm per 1/4 tsp or one '00' capsule. The dosage seems to be 100 mg per tablet. One capsule of the stuff will weigh 2 gm or 2,000 mg, that is really 20 capsules in one. So, to every tsp of potassium iodide, add 19 tsp of corn starch and mix thoroughly in a ziplock bag. When mixed, it can be encapsulated, and every capsule will contain +/- 100 mg potassium iodide. Sincerely, Leo -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
