Hello List,
I'm glad to see this topic discussed here. The input provided and links
referred to have helped me understand the two different products and to make a
decision regarding purchase. Thanks, all who commented.
I have another set of questions, however, that are of even more concern to me.
This regards taking the proper dosage of either of the two products with
thyroid disease. I have a goiter. It's small, seems to be getting smaller
over the last couple of years, as I keep adding to my general health routine.
I've taken Bernard Jensen's Liquid Dulse Iodine drops for maybe two years
also.
My endocronologist and every other doctor that ever noticed it haven't
expressed any concern or treatment, nor did they recommend iodine supplement.
I quess I'm not allergic to iodine, or I would know it. Does anyone know if
I am putting myself in harms way by taking the high dosages of potassium iodide
or iodate in the event of high level radiation exposure?
Seems like the risk may not be reduced by not taking it. Thyroid disease runs
in my family, however I have great health. But at age 50, I check my tsh
levels yearly. All are in normal ranges, as usual.
I started taking a new potassium iodine product recently that is higher in
strength, (iodine derived from Kelp). I noticed that it seems to warm me up.
My body temp. is commonly 96 and 97 degrees. I took only 1 a day to
start with, label recommends 4 a day for a month.
Would this warming up feeling be a symptom of my having an improper thyroid
balance with the goiter, or do persons without any problem get such a reaction?
Should I take this topic to the off topic list?

I got Potassium Iodide from ki4u.com 100 pills per bottle for $24. This
site also has a ton of information, but I don't know the difference between
Potassium Iodide and Potassium Iodate, except that the site says tests on the
shelf life of the RadBlock they sell found near 100% strength after 11 years.
I figured that was long enough for my purposes!
