What is IOSAT™ Potassium Iodide? (chemical abbreviation is KI)

IOSAT™ KI is the only FDA-approved blister-packaged thyroid blocking product available to the public. Potassium Iodide is used by governments worldwide to prevent thyroid cancer in people who are exposed to radiation iodines caused by nuclear reactor accidents and nuclear bombs. IOSAT™ KI protects against radioactive iodine by preventing its absorption by the thyroid gland located in the neck. Thyroid cells are unique among all cells of the human body as they are the only cells which have the ability to absorb Iodine. The thyroid gland absorbs it from the bloodstream and concentrates it inside the cell to produce hormones. For radiation that is not immediately lethal, the thyroid is your body's most sensitive organ to the effects of radiation. The Radioactive Iodine is absorbed by the thyroid and can cause thyroid disease and cancer later on. Sometimes it only takes a short time if the victim is a child because a child’s thyroid is very active in helping the child to grow. FDA Approved IOSAT™ KI saturates the thyroid with stable iodine, shutting off its absorption mechanism, and it will remain off long enough for the radioactive iodine that you inhaled or ingested to to be safely dispursed through the kidneys....
