These are selected from official FDA answers to dosages of potassium iodide. I again point out that I do not believe the current crisis in Japan will reach the levels of exposure for the USA that would require this protocol.

However, I believe that we all need more iodine every day (see page 14 of the Scott Forsgren review of my FIGHT program. www.publichealthalert.org 

Note: I do recommend lifelong use of iodine for entirely different reasons, namely the high levels of largely unavoidable exposures to fluorine and bromine. That is what has convinced me that iodine is needed in higher levels than we can get from our usual dietary sources unless you are eating kelp and seaweed daily. We need more iodine, as a supplement if we want to maintain an optimally functioning thyroid gland.

Should Your Patients Be Taking Potassium Iodide?

The effectiveness of KI as a specific blocker of thyroid radioiodine uptake is well established. When administered in the recommended dose, KI is effective in reducing the risk of thyroid cancer in individuals or populations at risk for inhalation or ingestion of radio iodines. KI floods the thyroid with non-radioactive iodine and prevents the uptake of the radioactive molecules, which are subsequently excreted in the urine.

Linda’s comment:  Mercury is in everything….learn to read your labels…..high fructose corn syrup is in EVERYTHING and HFC is full of mercury.   I certainly believe that Mercury Toxicity is epidemic and for those with chronic illness and children are in trouble ingesting all this mercury.  I have been on the FIGHT protocol for over a year now and I am very pleased at how I feel.

Is Mercury Toxicity an Epidemic?
Author: Joseph Pizzorno, ND
Source: Vitamin Retailer Magazine, June 2009

Conventional medicine has dismissed mercury toxicity as a clinical concern except in cases of obvious poisoning. This is due to the poor correlation between the various measures of mercury body load and clinical symptoms. It is also the reason the dental community has in the past so consistently denied that amalgam fillings are a health risk. (Although called “silver” fillings, they are actually about 55 percent mercury.) However, the integrative medicine community has for decades believed that chronic low-level mercury exposure is the root cause of many chronic diseases ranging from autism to heart disease to “brain fog.” Continued
