Foods that Contain Iodine. From Eggs to Kelp

Many people are worried about a deficiency of iodine supplements, what else can you do to get enough? According to the Linus Pauling Institute, you can eat foods that are known to be rich in iodine. Consult your physician before making any changes to your dietary intake. (I am not a doctor.)

Some on the list I knew, some I didn't. We should all probably eat better so we can weather some of the storms that seem to be coming.

What should we be eating to weather the storm of liberalism that is here?

I think that’s a condition that the Lord will have to rid us of..He’s the only one that I think can open their eyes and ears.

Another reason to eat more Deviled Eggs :)

I have primary hypothyroidism. Does that make me immune to radiation sickness?

[ken21]

if you’re taking iodine/iodide

(not synthroid),

then you will not get cancer of the thyroid.

No. Radiation affects fast growing cells more than
slow growing ones. The lining of the digestive
tract grows quickly, thus the vomiting and
diarrhea as early symptoms. Hair falls out. Not
outwardly observable is damage to bone
marrow. That impacts blood creation. Beyond a
threshold, you can’t manufacture enough blood
cells to remain alive.

Says it right on the label ...

And then there's a thing called:

Lettuce opium. When cut, the stems of lettuce plants ooze a milky juice whose appearance, taste, and smell are said to be similar to opium. Once dried, the substance is called lactucarium, or lettuce opium. Used by the ancient Egyptians, the stuff was listed in the Pharmacopeia of the United States of America as late as 1916. It can still be found in herbals and such, which describe it as a sedative and cough suppressant. Lettuce opium can be found in all lettuce species but is most commonly extracted from wild lettuce, Lactuca virosa.

Probably the wild lettuce grows near magic mushrooms out in the woods sommers.

Great comment. Liberalism will be gone when the devil is thrown into the lake of burning sulfur.

I guess we just gotta cope with it until then.

Iodine will do nothing c. Radiation. Iodide potassium is what binds, I do believe.

Red Wine Fights Radiation Better than Iodine
Standard News | 15 Mar 2011 | Rayna Tosheva

Have red wine instead of iodine solutions to curb the effects of radiation. This is the advice of Bulgarian scholars as a response to the panic stirred after the explosions in the Japanese nuclear plant of Fukushima. Although the explosions in Japan happened at quite a distance from Bulgaria, thousands of Bulgarians stormed into drug stores to buy iodine supplements. This is dangerous as it could damage the thyroid gland, the Bulgarian Ministry of Health alarmed. Red wine consumption is by far a more potent barrier to radiation because of its high tannin concentration, Prof Donka Baykova, deputy chair of the Bulgarian Nutrition Association told the Standart. Red wine is a strong antioxidant and protects against foreign agents, the professor explained. Research carried out by British scientists, evidences that Bulgarian wines are especially beneficial in such cases, according to Prof Baykova. People in Vratsa, northwestern Bulgaria, are masters in banishing the radiation effects by means of red-wine-drinking and consumption of chili peppers. The recipe has been brought from Russian and Ukrainian natives who came to the town after the accident in Chernobyl, 1986.

You can put me down on the wine drinking list. Sounds better than any food or supplement choices!

$8.00 on Amazon ( was $5.00 last week):

This is like the panic over Cipro during the Avian Flu scare.

Wait until this all dies down. Potassium Iodide will go back down in price. Then, buy some and store it. The next time, if there is a next time, just make sure you don’t take too much, too soon.

It only protects the thyroid gland. It doesn’t protect against radiation sickness or damage. And you can survive that, as countless cancer patients have.

I had KI on my prep list, but hadn’t gotten around to it. Frankly, if I had some on hand, I would have listed it on eBay.

There comes a time when we all have to just make our peace with God and accept whatever happens.

Good news for me and the fiancee’. We are drinking a nice Cabernet tonight.
