Re: Prussian Blue

[JGinniver@AOL.COM]

The other agent, identified as more effective than prussian blue was Nickle 

or ferric ferrocyanide-anion exchange resin.



This special resin form of Prussian Blue reported to be more beneficial than 

Prussian Blue alone.  The nickle form was claimed to be more effective than 

the ferric complex especially when administred promptly after Cs ingestion.



The recommended treatment wasd 1 Gram given orally with water, then 0.5 gram 

every 6 hours for 7 days.  The patient is then rested for one week and the 

process then repeated if necessary.



No side effects were observed in two human males given 3 seperate weekly 

courses of treatment.  Iinuma et al, (1971). "Application of metal 

ferrocyanide-anion exchange resins to the enhancement of elimination of 

Cs-137 from human body." Health Phys 20, 11.
