25 bottles of KI for $100.00, includes shipping.

We've held these recently expired bottles of KI as reserve here for our local community and govt as emergency back-up,
but better that some of them be 'out there' than all of them here, at least for those needing enough for a larger group.

Small coated tablets overcome typical KI bitterness when dosing children 3+ years old with single whole tablet.
Bottles are double safety sealed, with childproof cap and contain desiccant for extended storage life.
_____________________

These bottles are dated 2005 and here's what you need to know about expiration dates for KI...

As documented on www.ki4u.com Potassium Iodide (KI) is very hardy and has been proven to be viable well beyond it's 'official' expiration dates as seen there...

Jerome A. Halperin, Executive Vice President-CEO of The United States Pharmacopeial Convention, Inc., wrote to the Chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission on January 30, 1998 of an assay he had done on 'expired' Potassium Iodide (KI) tablets.

After the USP Drug Research and Testing Laboratory analyzed samples, they showed that approximately 11 years after their manufacture and eight years after their expiry date, the tablets assayed at 99.1% of the labeled content of potassium iodide. (This result was well within the rubric range of 92.5 to 107.5% required by the monograph.)

Mr. J. Halperin should know what he is talking about. In 1979, while deputy director of the Bureau of Drugs of the Food and Drug Administration, he directed the effort to get Potassium Iodide Solution, manufactured and stockpiled in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania during the Three Mile Island incident!

Bottom Line, KI is very hardy stuff, same as what's used in your iodized salt to make it 'iodized', as you'll see there listed on your salt container label. And, like salt, if you keep it dry and don't try to melt it, it'll last, and still be good, for many more years. (Both are inorganic and much more stable than organic medicines like antibiotics, etc.)

We've been selling KI & KIO3 since 1999 and have had many customers coming back, wanting to re-order over the years as their expiration dates came up, and we've willingly lost those additional sales, and saved them money, by simply sharing the above with them.

On the label is mentioned: Adults for 500 cGy radiation exposure. Now suppose there is a nuclear event overseas, where some fallout gets carried over here but no where near the amount that would if, say, Los Vegas was hit with a 10 megaton nuke. How does one moderate the dosage for lower level radiation; take one pill, or one every other day? I guess my concern that the likelyhood of Iran getting turned to glass is getting pretty high, and if/when it does, what, if any, dosage would we need here in CONUS.

I think you would either take the normal dose, or not take it at all. KI works by saturating the thyroid with "safe" iodine, so that it can't absorb any radioactive iodine. Basically, you could think of the "correct" dose of KI as actually being an "overdose." After you overdose with the iodine, your body is not able to absorb any more. So when the radioactive iodine gets to you the next day (whether it's a lot or just a little bit), your thyroid won't accept it.

RC, you got it right.

My strategy is if anything big is ever reported to have exploded anywhere, and I don't care how far away, my family will all take our full KI dose right then without awaiting confirmation first of it being nuclear or which way the winds are now moving it, etc.

That way we'll have our bases covered, at least regards KI, for the next 24 hours while we sort out fact/rumor/fiction about that initial explosion while also awaiting the 'other shoe dropping' elsewhere, too. If it turns out not to have been nuclear or clearly a single nuclear event with wind also clearly having it going elsewhere, then we'll simply not take the next daily dose. No harm, no foul.

Hey Shane a question. When I ordered some KI a month ago, the Exp date says 2006? Still good to use? I was kinda wondering since by the looks of the bottles it said they were expired.

I would like to buy several bottles, but can't afford a group buy. Is anyone interested in going in together with an idea of a group buy? If so, let me know--k?:ld:

Question: I believe that I read on the web site that you take the required dosage for 10 days. How long does it take your system to rid the body of the iodine and what happens if exposure lasts longer than that. Do you take the normal dosage for as long as the radiation is present or do you stop after 10 days and restart at some point?

fairbanks, Originally FDA assumed for a nuke plant 'mishap' that everybody would be evacuated well within ten days, at the most. Also, the half-life of the radioactive forms of iodine are short, too.

You should only take KI for as long as you are at risk of exposure via inhalation or ingestion.

For a quick release from a nuke plant, where problem was promptly fixed and the wind has blown it out of the area, you may only need to take it for a day or two. For longer or multiple events, you could be taking it for much longer, though.

Bottom Line: If the radioactive iodine release is from a terrorist nuke event, the odds of additional 'events' just went way up and the odds of then easily and quickly acquiring any more KI tablets just went way down.

For any who did not get any KI tablets in-time, or need more for themselves or others, there are viable alternatives besides the tablets. See our Plan "B" page here...

Last Call, this offer will be discontinued Friday at 5PM CST.

If mailing in an order before then, simply call or email to let us know it might be arriving in here later on and we'll put aside inventory to honor it, too.

Some have asked about splitting orders with others, if interested, post a note here on this thread to find others wanting to do so.

Here's hoping/praying all of us get to see much dust collect upon all these bottles, un-needed, for many years to come!

shane.....

I was one of the people who wanted to split an order, but I am not willing to give my snail addy to people I don't know at all here, which I figured was necessary for a group buy. ( not to offend anybody, but I am being realistic I think.)


If a few of us want to go in on it, can you mail separately directly to us? What increase in postage are we looking at?

OK, I'll start this if shane says he will mail separately....

TB2k group buy:

$4.00 per bottle ( plus maybe shipping since we would now be going to different addys), we need to get to 25 bottles.

Lynnie: 10 bottles, 40 bucks. ( side note to my sister annie, I'll give you some of
these for relatives up your way)

Anybody else?

Not eager to change the rules after others have already ordered, but if it'll help a few more these last few days needing less than 25, we'll do the following...

10 bottles to one address $5 per bottle or delivered price of $50.00

OR

Original offer of 25 bottles at $4 each to one address for $100

Shane,
I was wondering if you could help me with a couple of questions...

Referencing a post somewhere back along concerning iodine allergies

If you've gotten "burned" using betadyne in the past, how do you tell if you actually have an iodine allergy, or if you can safely use KI?


Referencing another post concerning topical iodine application

Does "iodine" absorb through the skin or does it have to be "iodate" or "iodide"?
I checked the large bottle of iodine at the feed store and it was just iodine, no iodate or iodide.

Thanks

Vere My Sone, Most people who are allergic to iodine know who they are, as they have had problems with seafood in the past. However, we caution everyone getting KI or KIO3 to inquire of their doctor, now before an emergency makes it impossible, to assure there is no reason why they or any family members should not take them in a future nuclear emergency. There are a few medical conditions and medications that only your doctor can advise you about in regards to the safety of taking KI or KIO3. Amongst them, potassium sparring diuretics, some heart medicines, some kidney ailments, TB, etc. You should also have your doctor check you for an iodine allergy, if any doubt, too.

Regular 'tincture of iodine' and Povidone-iodine solutions (like the Betadine® brand solution), all will absorb through the skin when topically applied. It does not need any "iodide" or "iodate" to absorb through the skin.

Remember, all iodine solutions are poisonous to ingest (drink/swallow).

Also, for any who do not get any KI tablets in-time, or need more for themselves or others, during an emergency, there are viable alternatives besides the tablets, such as the topically applied iodine mentioned above. See, read, and print out a copy of our Plan "B" instruction page here...

Shane,
Thanks for the response
When ds had an operation as an infant, he was burned by the betadyne and also the plastic tape irritated his skin. I'm not too sure how the ped. would react if I questioned the need for KI use. So, I was wondering about figuring it out for myself.
Seafood--no problems with fish, but then we don't eat much.
hmmm...
thanks

We've talked to a lot of doctors, many more are up-to-speed today than pre-9/11. He might surprize you, then again...

KI has been given to thousands living around nuke plants, tell him your're going to be visiting and staying with a relative near one and they have KI and if there was ever a problem while there, and govt told everybody to take it, you wanted to know if it'd be OK to use. If any flack from ped, go find another to ask.

If you are serious enough about nuke threats to be buying KI, you need to also be creative and bold enough to keep asking till you get definitive medical answers so you can use it with confidence, if/when needed, and without hesitation. That's just part of your prudent preparations.

Shane - This is a little off topic but I purchased some KI from you last year and was wondering what, if any, the effect of heat would have on the pill? Specifically, one of the bottles I left in my vehicle last summer for a couple of weeks and now when it sets for a while the pills stick together. I can shake the bottle hard and they will break apart and rattle like the other bottles. If its just cosmetic its not a big deal, but I was wondering for future purposes as well, if I choose to leave some in a vehicle BOB.

smith357, High heat generated in a closed car out in the sun anytime of the year can bad news on most all drugs, even hardy inorganic KI.

Bottle, or at least a few tablets placed in a little aspirin case, or saran plastic wrapped, needs to stay with you in briefcase or, for gals, their purse. Even just a few tablets wrapped and tucked into cellphone case or taped to NukAlert on keys, or gun or knife holster, or look into getting a little keychain pill carrier, like for nitro pills, etc.

Goal is, you need to have pills attached to, or inside, something that you would not leave unattended in car, but would always naturally go with you into house or work, etc.

Needing to shake the bottle to loosen them up, is likely just the vegetable surface coating that got a little sticky when hot. Not a concern.

To check, you can sneak one tablet out quickly, careful not to have the bottle open long to where moisture could intrude, and then split it open. If white/grey inside, it's perfectly fine. If orange hue or orange speckled on outside, that's OK, as that's just thin outermost layer of iodine leaching where KI contacts the surface of the cosmetic coating. But, if orange speckled inside, or anything but white/gray, then you'll need to replace that bottle, it got too hot.
