Iodine-131 near the plant dumped raw milk, while testing in the United States found 0.8 pico-curies per liter of iodine-131 in a milk sample, but the radiation levels were 5,000 times lower than the FDA's "defined intervention level". The levels were expected to drop relatively quickly A common treatment method for preventing iodine-131 exposure is by saturating the thyroid with regular, non-radioactive iodine-127, as an iodide or iodate salt. Free elemental iodine should not be used for saturating the thyroid because it is a corrosive oxidant and therefore is toxic to ingest in the necessary quantities. The thyroid will absorb very
Nascent iodine (dietary supplement) a registered trademark of Global Healing Center. Their formula is made of elemental iodine in glycerin aqueous solution. They state "Historically, nascent iodine has been made using electricity to break iodine’s diatomic bond and create a single, highly energized atom. However, it is difficult to use this method on the scale necessary to produce sufficient quantities". They use nanoemulsion technology (smaller drops) for their Iodine formula. Alex Jones's "Infowars Life" brand uses the same formula. The name "Magnascent" is a registered trademark of John Brookshire, owner of the 2004 nascent iodine patent.
