Iraqi War and Retaliatory Threats Against Palo Verde Increase Stockpiling of Anti-Radiation Pills

On the heels of Homeland Securitys own endorsement of Potassium Iodide and in response to possible domestic attacks, sales of anti-radiation pills like No-Rad tm have skyrocketed since Tuesday. Public demand is increasing dramatically," stated Scott Smith, Vice President of Corporate Development for Natural Balance.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and several other national agencies have responded to terrorist threats directed toward the Palo Verde Nuclear Plant. In fact, all active nuclear power plants have increased security measures in anticipation of possible retaliation following the first missile launches against Baghdad.

Following the Department of Homeland Securitys recommendation for Potassium Iodide in the event of a nuclear blast, communities surrounding active power plants were recently offered free Potassium Iodide pills by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a protective measure.

The government obviously recognizes the need for anti-radiation pills," Smith continued, but with prevailing winds and possible water contamination, simply offering these pills to those within the standard FEMA radius of ten miles is not enough. Many experts believe that people within a fifty-mile radius should make preparations."

No-Rad anti-radiation tablets each contain 65 mg of potassium iodide, which is the same level of protection being offered to government workers, the military, and residents near nuclear plants. If taken immediately following a nuclear emergency, the Potassium Iodide (KI) in pills such as No-Rad gets absorbed into the thyroid gland, saturating it with stable, safe iodine, thus blocking the intake of radioactive iodine.

As more information about the benefits of Potassium Iodide permeates public consciousness, more people want it," Scott Smith said. No-Rad is a preventative measure, much like a fire extinguisher. You dont wait until your house is on fire to buy one. People are responding to the increased political climate by protecting themselves and their families." Indeed, one million tablets of No-Rad were recently sold in less than a week. Inventory is going fast and were one of the largest providers of Potassium Iodide in the country. Were working day and night to ensure that anyone who wants these pills will be able to order them."
