The Facts about KI Spray and Joseph Deihl

After September 11, 2001, a guy named Joseph Deihl from Arizona put his company to work to find a way to help the country.

Within months, Joseph Deihl had an amazing new product. It was KI-Spray, a small spray tube of potassium iodide that users could spray in their mouths when a nuclear disaster strikes to help against thyroid-related cancers and other diseases.

Oral KI-Sprays have a non-toxic aerosol (spray) pump that delivers the purest form of KI, directly into the body. When sprayed into the mouth, micro-sized beads or droplets are immediately absorbed into the tissue through the capillaries, which lie close to the surface of the lining in the mouth. This process allows the nutrients to be absorbed within seconds without causing any extra stress to the organs.

KI-Spray, "No water needed, no pills to swallow, just spray like a breath freshener, the spray could be administered to an unconscious person and to small children". One KI-Spray container could be administered to 30 people in minutes and the container would never have to leave the doctor or heath official's hand.

In 1986 the world's worst nuclear power plant accident occurred at Chernobyl. Today, over 11,000 cases of childhood thyroid cancer due to Chernobyl have been reported, with the number not expected to peak until 2010. The World Health Organization's International Thyroid Project has found evidence that even relatively low levels of radiation exposure may result in under active thyroid syndrome, also known as hypothyroidism. (United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs- 2000)

Radioactive iodine spreads by air, and can travel hundreds of miles with the wind. This material may be breathed or swallowed or ingested with food and drinks. If you take Potassium Iodide (ki), it will help block the uptake of dangerous radioactive iodine.

Very small amounts of inhaled or ingested radio iodine can do grave damage as it will always concentrate, and be retained, in the small space of the thyroid gland. Eventually giving such a large radiation dose to thyroid cells there that abnormalities are likely to result, such as loss of thyroid function, nodules in the thyroid, or thyroid cancer.

97% of all Thyroid cancer cases attributed to radioactive iodine from Chernobyl occurred in people and animals who lived 31-310 miles from the accident site .(Statistics derived from US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Report NUREG-1633)

In the late 1940's and 1950's the U.S. government did many nuclear tests in the Nevada desert. These tests released large radioactive clouds that floated to the eastern United States exposing millions of people. To protect the people they added Potassium Iodide to our salt supply. They did this with an ad campaign that it would protect people from a disease that caused nodules in the thyroid. Today, it is no longer mandatory that iodized salt be used, you have many choices of salts. Joseph Deihl recommends that you read the label and use iodized salt.

Potassium Iodide can help protect the thyroid from cancer by blocking the uptake by the thyroid gland of radioactive iodine that may have been released into the atmosphere in the unlikely event of an accident at a nuclear reactor. Its use in such an event has been recognized by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NCR) and Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) as a reasonable protective measure, secondary to evacuation. Potassium iodide, however, provides only very specialized protection of one organ of the body against one specific radioactive isotope and not against other hazards associated with a nuclear reactor accidents.

Today the United States government only stockpiles enough KI pills for a population radius of 20 miles around each of the 103 US nuclear plants. How they plan on giving everyone within the 20 mile radius of a nuclear plant a pill; before they are exposed is unknown.

The Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster was not a joke. It effected animals and people within a 300 miles radius of the plant.

The Ki Spray was manufactured by a company Not listed in the "FDA Orange Book". In fact there are Only two companies authorized in the Orange book to make and sell Ki pills. The Orange Book is where companies have monopolies on products protected by the FDA.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, however, did not appreciate KI-Spray. In June of 2003, the FDA, sent Joseph Deihl's company a letter ordering them to stop producing KI-Spray immediately because the company was not listed in the authorized Orange book. The company stopped making KI-Spray!

There are 103 nuclear reactors in the United States and if there is a nuclear disaster, you will be affected even if you don't live close by?

America's Heath officials and the military have stock-piled Potassium Iodide pills in case of a nuclear disaster. Today the government only stockpiles enough KI pills for a population radius of 20 miles around each US plant. That leaves 280 miles and tens of millions of people left wanting.

Joseph Deihl recommends that you use only iodized salt.

Good Luck.
