Hello Everyone
There was a study that was done around the 1950's of two villages in Japan located near Hiroshima and
Nagasaki after the atomic bombs were released. As many of you might know, thousands of Japanese
people developed many types of cancer and leukemia as a result of that radiation.
The exception was these two villages that survived intact with no sign of cancer. Upon further investigation
it was found that all of the villages consumed high amounts of seaweed which is probably the highest source
of iodine that is available in food form Iodine is available in tablet and liquid forms for the non-seaweed
consumer. Other sources of iodine include: Artichoke, Asparagus, Fish, Beans (butter, french, kidney and snap),
Blueberries, Brussel Sprouts and Cardamon.
Iodine is critical to calcium absorption, healthy bones, healthy brain and a healthy nervous systems. Not to
mention essential for a healthy thyroid, spleen, blood, detoxifying the brain and warding off tendencies for
cataract formation.

In my quest to get iodine I have encountered a major issue. With our current world events, everyone is purchasing iodine! Ebay sellers are price gouging and when I search pharmacies they only carry poisonous versions, when I ask the pharmacist where I could find the internal (potassium) version they immediately give me the fifth degree as to why I want it (for radiation fear from Japan).
I am wondering if anyone here can give me any information as to where I can purchase the internally safe version of iodine. I also have to ask, if I cannot find any, would buying the external only iodine work if I dabbed it on my skin?
Thank you in advance for any information you can provide!
