Potassium Iodine Supplements In High Demand To protect Against Radiation Leaks.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) March 16, 2011 -- The website EveryThingAntiAging.com / 800.244.4116 has reported a large spike in orders for Kelp with Potassium Iodine. http://www.everythingantiaging.com/kelp-plant.html.

With the current nuclear problems that have developed due to the massive earthquake in Japan, the demand for Kelp, Potassium Iodine supplements has risen dramatically. The radiation levels around the nuclear power plants in Japan are rising. The Fukushima Daiichi power plant had its third explosion since the intial 8.9 earthquake damaged the plant and shut down the cooling system. Now health concerns are increasing as crews fight to keep the nuclear power plant from spewing out more radiation. Exposure to radiation can have serious health effects. Vomiting, headache, birth defects, and thyroid cancer have all been linked to varying levels of radiation exposure.

Once radiation is in the atmosphere, it can be inhaled and get into the water stream. The effects of radiation can last for decades.

Japan has distributed 230,000 units of potassium iodine pills, which can help prevent thyroid cancer. The pills prevent the thyroid from absorbing radiation if they are taken before or immediately after exposure. It will remain effective for 24 hours.

Health officials say the iodine pills are still beneficial. Doctors say the pills should be a top priority for children and pregnant women because developing thyroids are most likely to absorb radiation.

There are reports of pharmacies selling out of iodine pills in California and Ontario, Canada. However one website www.EveryThingAntiAging.com has them in stock and ready to ship.

Thai authorities say they will distribute medicine to citizens traveling to Japan to protect against radiation from damaged nuclear power plants.

The Health Ministry says that beginning Thursday, potassium iodide tablets will be given free to travelers flying to Tokyo from airports in Bangkok and Phuket. The government already warns against unnecessary travel to Japan.

This is going to create a shortage of supply and it is recommended to stock up now.
