[ RadSafe ] Re: Radiation deficiency remediation

[John Jacobus]

Because iodine would concentrate in the thyroid. Also,
the concentration of KI is too small to be an
effective dosing agent even in the event of a
radiologial release from a nuclear power plant.

Again, you are assuming that additional radiation
would have a beneficial effect.  KCl helps to reduce
sodium in the body, which lowers blood pressure.  High
blood pressure is a greater health risk to the average
human than too little radiation, which is ill defined
to say the least.
