Radiological Concerns:
Information About Nuclear Events and KIO3, Potassium Iodate.
Health experts now estimate that the greatest health concerns affecting the largest number
of people from a nuclear event anywhere in the world, will likely be from the release of
Radioactive Iodine 131 that is then carried downwind for hundreds of miles.
Radioactive Iodine 131 is a major radioisotope that is abundantly present in both nuclear
power plant accidents and nuclear bomb explosions and can travel hundreds of miles on the
winds. Thyroid cancer attributable to Chernobyl has been documented up to 300 miles from
the accident site.
Very small amounts of inhaled or ingested Radioactive Iodine can do serious damage because
it will always be absorbed and held the in the thyroid gland. Eventually, by absorbing
radiation in the thyroid, abnormalities are likely to result, such as nodules in the
thyroid, loss of thyroid function, or thyroid cancer.
Medical Corps and other health experts agree: The greatest danger from Radioactive Iodine
is to the thyroid glands of children. Medical Researchers have found that in certain parts
of Belarus after the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant disaster, over 30% of children, who
were under the age of 4 years old at the time of the accident, can expect to develop
thyroid cancer. That is why we produce KIO3, and have formulated it for children, as well
as adults.
Taking Potassium Iodate (KIO3) in the event of fallout will saturate a persons thyroid
gland with stable ("good") iodine, so the Radioactive Iodine cannot be absorbed
by the thyroid. Because the thyroid is saturated with the "good" Iodine, then
any Radioactive Iodine that is later inhaled or ingested is quickly eliminated by the
body.

Potassium Iodate (KIO3) is now being stockpiled by most states in the USA. Individuals
like you from every state in the USA has purchased KIO3 from Medical Corps.
This is a current list of the countries who purchased KIO3 from Medical Corps for use
around Nuclear Power facilities and known nuclear weapons facilities:
Taiwan
United Kingdom/Britain
Channel Islands
Ireland (limited distributorships available)
Scotland (limited distributorships available)
Australia (limited distributorships available)
Japan
Singapore
Canada (limited distributorships available)
Germany
Mongolia
Korea
