I would think that people who've had a thyroidectomy would be immune from radioactive iodine entering the body, so you have that going for you. 😺
The potassium iodide pills flood the thyroid with normal iodine so that there's "no room at the inn" when the radioactive iodine (I-131) shows up and wants to enter.
You'll just have to worry about the uranium, plutonium, strontium, cesium.
It is important for people to understand that potassium iodide or nascent iodine will only protect you from Iodine-131. It is not a radiation cure all.
Ive been dosing iodine for about a year. Three drops every day.
But start slow. I wasnt aware of the effects and the first day I did three drops and I felt sick. I think it is the detox effect. So I went to 1 drop for 2 weeks, then 2 drops for 2 weeks and finally three drops.

How long does the iodine stay in the thyroid? Do you dose every day? For what period of time?

Ive been taking nascent iodine for almost a year, 3 drops/day for antiviral protection. (WuFlu). Is this the same mentioned in your post?
