“The reason for denying me a prescription was predicated upon the Doctors conversation, with both CDC and DHSC representatives, whom discouraged it. After asking her if she took government orders, she replied, “No, but I do take their recommendations.”
By the way, the reason the government is recommending that KI not be sold to people is because of fear mongering tripe like this that will encourage know-nothings to take a potentially harmful substance for no reason, without calculating the proper dosage.

If you are going to use that logic, then you may as well say that the government must tell us everything we can and cannot do, and we need to listen. Oh wait they are already trying to do that. I don't think it's the government's place to tell people how they should care for themselves. There is nothing wrong with being prepared. I don't wait for the government to make my decisions for me and I would hope others do the same.
I cannot tell you off the top of my head. But I do have the potassium iodide pills for every one of my family members and myself in case of emergency. I live near a lot of nuclear reactors and a high target large city. There are directions on the package and I know enough to not use them unless told that it would be necessary.

Haha, I just reread what you wrote... "Americans cannot be trusted...." bah, that is ridiculous. You make it sound like there are no educated people here.

Your doctor or pharmacist may already be aware of any possible drug interactions and may be monitoring you for them. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with your doctor or pharmacist first.Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use, especially of: ACE inhibitors (e.g., captopril, lisinopril), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs such as losartan, valsartan), certain "water pills" (potassium-sparing diuretics such as amiloride, spironolactone, triamterene), drospirenone, eplerenone, lithium, potassium-containing drugs (e.g., supplements such as potassium chloride).This document does not contain all possible interactions. Therefore, before using this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the products you use. Keep a list of all your medications with you, and share the list with your doctor and pharmacist.
I think that you think that doctors know everything and think they always know exactly what a person should do. They do not.
Not a personal dig, eh? Coulda fooled me. I find it a bit creepy that you would do this kind of "research" on the OP and espouse your analysis as if a difference from your opinion discredits theirs.

You have 33 posts as of right now, and they are mostly in creationist vs. evolution threads. This is not a personal dig but I think your end of the world scenario is in your head more than it is in reality. Maybe it is something you wish would happen?
Yikes! After many years of experience, I have found the most "educated" people to be the ones who have been most manipulated. Of course, someone who has been convinced that individuals are less able to be responsible and care for themselves than bought-and-paid-for bureaucrats might not see things that way.

There is a nuclear emergency as of right now, meaning all the people who don't have KI and want to buy it, are not 'being prepared' they are displaying an impulsive reaction to a tragedy. Which I assume is the reason KI has been pulled from certain shelves. Not to stop people from being prepared but from making knee-jerk reactions.

There are educated people in both countries, but when dealing with the entire population, regulations and rules are usually made to protect the uneducated and easily manipulated.

I'm not buying the video on its own merits, but it's often not easy to "debunk" something that anticipates a coming event before the timing of the "event" has passed.
It also stands to reason that extremely wealthy people might have much more elaborate bug-out plans than most of the rest of us do or would even want.
Michael Shermer is a clever preacher of HIS belief system, but both sides are guilty of doing the same thing to the side they don't agree with.
The appearance of being more intelligent than those of another persuasion doesn't automatically make the "intelligent" side more "right".
I don't believe the OP made any "claims" at all and really just threw some "stuff" in a post to see what people thought of it. You characterize it as "fluff" - and so it is. Why is that a problem?

Since the whole thing about trusting governments and doctors when it comes to nuclear radioactivity and potassium iodide, I suggest people go to Shane Conner's website, www.ki4u.com... and you'll be able to protect yourself and know more about KI than your doctor does. As for interactions, good luck even with a doctor's assistance. Most prescription drugs have possible side effects that if you knew about you wouldn't even risk.edit on 23-3-2011 by tsimitpo because: (no reason given)
