Is there? Isn't there? What I know for sure is we KNOW nothing for sure. I've been telling friends and family on the mainland to get Iodide as soon as possible.... not to wait till the authorities tell you to. Once that happens, it will be too late. Now, the Surgeon General said to buy it as a precautionary measure. Really? You think?? What a concept. However, I'm glad she said it because to be honest I think she is the only authority in the US being somewhat honest. Why is the government trying to tell us it's not important... and why might I ask is the government instructing doctors not to prescribe it when requested by patients??? You think they might be trying to ration supplies? This could be why.
Potassium Iodide flying off the shelves. Now, you can still but 32.5 mg tablets last time I looked on Amazon. Pay for expedited shipping... Adults need 130 mg per day. Here's info on how much to take. Remember NOT to take it until the authorities tell you... keep yourself updated on information regularly.. this is the best defense. My friend in Escondido was able to order it through her local GNC store that would arrive on Thursday, so that's an option. Keep calling around.
Just in: situation only worsening with 4th reactor fire and radiation leaking directly into the air. Read this!
Now we KNOW that this could easily effect us.. Not only because of Chernobyl, but because of the fact that 2/3 of LA's coal in the atmosphere is from CHINA. Take note people.
Now, I don't want to cause alarm.. but my friend Heidi said they just talked to a friend in Germany, and supposedly there and all over Europe, they are saying there is a very serious threat of nuclear contamination to CA and the US west coast. Why is Europe taking this more seriously and we just have our heads in the sand??? Well, two reasons. One is probably because they don't want to cause panic and mayhem and looting.. which is a good thing and a bad thing. Good because it might cause panic and mayhem and looting (those stupid Americans) and bad because, like, we need to know! The 2nd is because Americans have this eerie way of reacting to things... it's like they really don't believe anything could ever really happen to them. Just lost in there little world and life.. well, things happen.
Do we panic?... HECK NO! Do we get prepared and stay educated? YES. After that, it's God's will. So what will be will be... no reason to panic when you are prepared. Did God throw down magic floatie rafts to Noah and his family??? NO. He had him PREPARE by building a boat. Hello people. Prepared = peace and not prepared = panic. Aka; Noah floating safely in a boat, at peace, and the wicked drowning, panicked.
The way we look at it is human nature is weird and stupid. We think of the movie, Titanic. Remember those fruitcakes getting irritated with having to put on a life vest, sipping cocktails, listening to classical music while the ship was about to go under?? Well, we are like Rose and Frank... eyes opened and ready to get in the safety boats with our life vests on!
Joe and I will ALWAYS error on the side of caution... it's better to error on the side of caution each and every time than to error on the side of tragedy once.
Pray for the Japanese!
