What In The World Was The NRC Thinking When They Only Made Plans For A 5-Mile Zone Around A Nuclear Power Plant - And What Is The Government Pill Program?

There is a mountain of medical evidence pointing to the need for thyroid blockers in every 100-mile zone around a nuclear power plant. New evidence points to the risk from radiation at a much longer range:

"A catastrophic meltdown in the spent fuel pool of a nuclear power plant could cause fatal, radiation-induced cancer in thousands of people as far as 500 miles from the site," according to a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission study, November 10, 2002.  

This information can be found (HERE). It is by the New York Journal. This kind of catastrophe would potentially cause the deaths from radioactive fallout in the thousands, and perhaps millions on a long term basis.

Many experts agree that it is NOT "if" but "when".  There is a mountain of evidence pointing to a terrorist attack on a nuclear power plant. There has been over 300 major news agency articles since 9/11 that have reported the same thing, "Nuclear Power Plants are ideal terrorist targets..."


A message to you from the Director of PRN:

Listen carefully...
I  understand that you have been bombarded with hundreds of warnings of the possibility of radiation sickness or deaths from dirty bombs and nuclear power plant terrorism. This is a reminder to us all that we live in a different world today, one that requires vigilance and preparedness. 

I have to tell you that as the parent of four school-age boys (yes, four plus a one-year old!) my main concern is with the kids. They depend completely upon you as a parent. You already can make the decision to prepare yourself for a possible terrorist attack against a nuclear power plant or even decide not to. But the children cannot. They are completely defenseless unless you act to protect them. And they have the most to loose. Children are the most susceptible to the effects of radiation, especially Radioactive Iodine 131.

It is quite evident from reading the accounts of the nuclear power plant accident at Chernobyl, that the children of Chernobyl and Belarus are practically a dead generation, most are diseased from exposure to nuclear fallout and without hope. This is no admonishment to the people or parents or even the government of that country, but to focus on the results of the tragic accident that brought them to this point - the deadly explosion of a nuclear power plant that released 100 times more radioactive fallout than the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. 

At the time, no one guessed that the tons of radioactive fallout would travel so far. Most of it (70%) was dumped on Belarus. If the government or parents had stocked KIO3 and had given them to the children when it was apparent that the nuclear plant had exploded, then Belarus, which was further away from Chernobyl, could have prevented the epidemic of radiation-induced thyroid cancer its children now face.

This brings us to the subject of  -"What do you do?"

You hear news and see  articles about the government anti-radiation pill programs and some of the states taking action to stock the pills. This only tells you that the threat is real, and the pills are important. What I want to tell you is about the government pill program - then "what you should do" and why. 

Government Pill Program- 

There are only fourteen states (at the time of this writing) that have adopted the government free pill program. I'll not bother you with naming them because it is changing as more states consider it and other states refuse it. Here are the main issues:

  • The free pills are KI and are adult doses only. 
  • The manufacturer claims that you can use their pill for children, but the instructions for doing so are daunting. 
  • The free pill program only issues 1 dose for every adult in the household. (Some states are changing that)
  • The free pills are only for those within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ).
  • You must fill out a justification form for the pills, and sign the form for a release of liability. 

The issues of KI distribution are disturbing: 5% or more of anyone who takes KI cannot keep it down. There are reports that the percentage of children that cannot keep it down is much more. This is because of the bitterness of the drug. If you cannot keep the drug in your system, it won't work. And right when you need it.

The biggest and most alarming problem is that of not being able to easily dose children. The instructions for dosing children are confusing and seems like an afterthought. 

The easiest way to illustrate this is with a short scenario:

Now just for a moment, I want you to imagine a nuclear power plant disaster scenario

You are at home in the evening with your little baby girl. It is dark inside your house - the power is off and you are looking for candles with a flashlight.

The phone rings. You are surprised by the sound - you thought the power was off. (phones can work with a power outage, unless they are "walk-around" phones) It is your husband, John. 

"Honey, they announced at work that there is a problem with the Nuclear Plant," He says. "They cut us loose here at work, but I just want you to know that I am still trying to get out of here - the traffic is really bad. It seems like everyone is leaving." 

You cut in - "John, the power is off here. Do you think this is serious?" 

He answers, "Hon, you know if they sound the sirens, it is an emergency. Get everything together - we may have to leave." He then adds, "The radio is in the closet. I think the batteries are good." 

You ask him, "John, what about the baby? Should we be doing anything to take care of the baby? Is there a radiation leak? Are you OK?" 

He quickly answers, "Listen, Lisa, let's both keep our heads together. We have the KI, remember? I will be home soon, so just get some things gathered so we can get out of here if we have to. We can take the KI if you remember where it is - just see if you can find it and we will follow the instructions when I get home". 

All the time, precious minutes are going by, the recommended time to take the thyroid blocker is at least 2 hours BEFORE the radioactive fallout is present from a nuclear plant leak.  

(Additionally, radiation cannot be seen, smelled or felt. It is completely undetectable except with special equipment.)

John arrives two hours later. "The traffic is horrible. I could have walked faster if it wasn't so far. I think they are starting an evacuation" he says. "What did you find?" 

You are holding the baby and both walk over to the counter. John follows. "I found the KI in the medicine cabinet, but the instructions are somewhere else." He picks up the package of two pills. "What about the baby?" you say. 

"Well, I don't know - let's look around and see if we can find those instructions." He remembers something that he had printed from the internet. Using your flashlight, you follow him to the computer room. He rummages through some papers and finally pulls out this description:

...A whole pill is the size of a baby aspirin and is scored for easy and exact separation for half dosages if desired. For children who won't swallow pills, put one 130mg potassium iodide tablet into a small bowl and grind it into a fine powder using the back of the metal teaspoon against the inside of the bowl. The powder should not have any large pieces. Add four teaspoonfuls of water to the potassium iodide powder in the small bowl. Use a spoon to mix them together until the potassium iodide powder is dissolved in the water. Then add to this mixture four teaspoonfuls of a desired liquid that the child will drink, such as chocolate milk, orange juice, formula, raspberry syrup, etc. The amount of potassium iodide in the 8 tsp. drink mixture will now be 16.25 mg per teaspoon. (Drinks such as water or low fat/skim milk do not hide the salty taste of potassium iodide very well). The number of teaspoonfuls of the drink to give your child depends on your child's age. Follow the dosing info below to figure out how much to give your child. The potassium iodide mixture will keep for up to seven days in the refrigerator. FDA recommends that the potassium iodide drink mixtures be prepared weekly; unused portions should be discarded...

"My God this is a mess!" you exclaim. "What about the baby? There are only two pills!" 

He just shakes his head - still looking at the instructions...

What you need to know is -

  1. The government-sponsored pill is not for children. Even with the power on or a generator running to provide light, it is still a big problem that the pill is not for children, and the children's dose is impossible to simply cut from the pill. (You also need to be aware that you may give a loading dose of one whole pill to a child, but you still face the issue of the child not being able to keep the drug down.) 
  2. The little girl in the above story is 2 years old, this means she needs a 1/4 tablet dose. You would be faced with trying to grind up the pill every time and mixing it with a treat for the dose. (That is IF you have the extra pills)
  3. The dose that the folks have in the above example would be ok in an evacuation, if the evacuation only lasted 1 day. Do you think that where you live, it would be a one-day evacuation - so the 24 hour one-pill- dose would last? (Chicago, New York City, Boston, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix and other large cities near nuclear facilities- the answer is NO)
  4. If you are directed by officials to evacuate - YOU MUST EVACUATE. I cannot stress this enough. KIO3 or KI will only protect you against ONE OF the most abundant forms of radiation, but not the rest! The closer you are to the nuclear plant, the more likely it is you will have to evacuate because of the other forms of radiation.
  5. One pill per adult is not enough. Even if you are evacuating, you need a safety margin - especially for your children. Medical Corps, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the FDA all recommend a 14-day supply per family member minimum supply. 
  6. Radioactive Iodine 131 is dangerous in the environment for 1 month. A 1-month supply for all members of the household is the best amount.
  7. If you drive through a nuclear power plant 5-mile zone (the NRC calls it the "Peak Fatality Zone"), you should have an emergency supply in your glove compartment.

I can also tell you a couple of things that do NOT work. In fact, these very points are "claimed to really work!" in various chat rooms and other web pages.

These can be fatal if you ignore these warnings:

  • Kelp - it won't help. You would have to eat about 5 pounds a day of kelp in order to saturate the thyroid. You won't make it.
  • Sea Salt - Nope. You would have to eat 72 pounds of it (per day).
  • Iodine (for cuts), iodine tablets (widely sold for water purification), tincture of iodine, or Povidone-iodine solutions - NO - they are poisonous if taken internally (ingested)!

This is NOT a hard decision to make. I am not asking you to buy hundreds of dollars of equipment, or selling you a worthless trinket. I am offering you several pieces of critical information for free and asking you to prepare yourself and your family with KIO3.  

Of all the "anti-radiation" pills that are popping up every where, Medical Corps' KIO3 is the only formulation that considers the issue of dosing children of prime importance. 

These are the many reasons why we dropped our own brand of KI and now we only carry Medical Corps' KIO3. It is the best product and wisest choice - I have it in stock for myself and my children.

It is easy to understand why after you read the following:

  • KIO3 has a much longer shelf life - in some cases, 3 times longer than KI. This means you won't have to wonder about the quality of the pills when you pull them out of your medicine kit. 
  • You are able to dose your children without complicated instructions or procedures - no grinding, no mixing with fruit juice, no chasing the last pill you have because you launched it out of your grinding bowl! Remember, you may be doing this in the dark. 
  • KIO3 is not bitter - your children will love you for not having to swallow a bitter pill - for real! You never have to fear the gut-wrenching moment during an emergency when your child throws up their dose of KI because of the bitterness - and exposes themselves to radioactive iodine.
  • You can have more than one pill - and it won't cost you a bundle, either. It is great to think that you can have the world's finest radiation-protection pill, and not have to be taken to the cleaners too.
  • Medical Corps is the ONLY anti-radiation pill manufacturer that is operated and staffed by dedicated medical people! They know what they are doing. You can be sure of the quality of their FDA-approved product.
  • You won't find this benefit to you with any other similar product: Medical Corps, the manufacturer, has a limited lifetime warrantee on KIO3! What if you could replace your un-used but expired Aspirin supply in your medicine cabinet for 1/3 the price you bought it for new? This is what I am telling you about this product. For $8 plus shipping, Medical Corps will replace any bottle of KIO3 with a brand-new fresh, full bottle! This means that if you wanted to rotate your stock every 5 years (even though the shelf life is longer), you simply pay $8.00 for every bottle you want exchanged and shipping, and you have a fresh new supply.

Tons of Information-

Finally, I want you to know that this whole radiation issue is not just about taking KIO3 during a nuclear emergency. Yes, KIO3 is an important part of that, but this is also about preparing yourself and your family if you live near a nuclear power plant. You can do this yourself, cheaply. All you need is the right information and some action. 

That is why I have made resources available to you specifically about a nuclear power plant emergency. 

With any product you order from us, you will get specific information. I guess if you looked long enough, you could find some of this on the internet, but not all. It has taken months to put this information together (at this time, this information is downloaded on the internet only from our servers).

My family and I are prepared for this type of disaster by having a stock of KIO3, along with this critical information - and so are thousands of other families that we have helped. 

I am going to do you more than a favor, I am going to save you lots of time and effort by giving you the information you need to protect yourself and your family if this horrible disaster happens.

Click here to see a list of information available for FREE with an order of KIO3. It's worth more than the product!

Make no mistake, this is not "snake-oil" or anything that costs you a bunch of money. You get the best product on the market today, created by Medical folks with families just like you. 

  • You have a no-nonsense 30-day money back guarantee which includes the shipping costs for the product to come to you. No headaches, no hassles and no weasel-out clauses.
  • You have the incredible LIFETIME warrantee on the product - completely un-heard of in the medical world, and you will probably never use it because of the long shelf-life of this product. IF a nuclear disaster happens, you don't have to worry about "if it is expired".
  • You get specific information designed by "atomic experts" to help you in today's world, not a warmed-over atomic bomb manual of the 1960's. 
  • You will possess a complete set of instructions for the product - even information on dosing your pets!

If you live within 100 miles of a nuclear facility, having KIO3 and this information is more than an insurance policy, it is a necessity.

Stay safe,
Shawn Fenwick
