Iodine is stockpiled by the government and by individuals.
This is for use in case of a radiation event... nuclear accident, dirty bomb by terrorists, etc.
Iodine in large doses is toxic...I just read in one of my professional magazines about a liability suit in a hospital where a large dose was given by accident... it is used in large doses only to treat thyroid storms, or dangerous Graves' situations. It kills the thyroid.
So I have misgivings about this naturopathic treatment too.
