Alternatives to Potassium Iodide

I personally can attest to the shortage of potassium iodide after the Japanese tsunami and the nuclear fallout disaster. Here on the west coast of the USA where it was coming ashore, you couldn’t find iodine anywhere in any form for months after.
Then we had the North Korean threat of nuclear attack. Although we would like to believe they don’t have the ability to strike the United States. But it has become evident that their dictator isn’t concerned with the wellbeing of his own people and a strike anywhere in the world would cause a worldwide disaster.
Now we have the threat of the use of nuclear weapons by the Russians in their conflict with Ukraine.
Personally, I don’t live to terribly far from the Hanford reactor, so I already have a small supply on hand. Hanford has been leaking and on the verge of disaster for many years. They (meaning the security planners) know how to alert the powers that be of a serious leak there, BUT insanely enough seemingly no plan for what to do about it has been put in place. (Not that the general public is privy to anyway) So my plan A for a serious leak was to medicate my immediate family and get out of dodge. Now we are aware that you don’t have to live within a hundred miles of a reactor to be affected by the fall out.
We have also been warned that potassium iodide taken at the wrong time can actually cause more damage to your body than the actual fall out does. This is when I (after finding more available several months later and increasing my stock) decided I needed to obtain more information on the natural substitutes as preventatives. Of course, the best alternative is to move to some remote location and hope that there is no fall out there but there are wind currents no matter where you live. Moving further from a plant or a tactical target isn’t practical for the majority of us including myself.
Other alternatives are discussed in the article below and I strongly advise those who live near a coast, or a reactor site take a look at it. Truthfully everyone should be prepared for this kind of disaster as air and water currents aren’t cooperative when it comes to carrying the fall out hundreds or even thousands of miles away. When a waste site or a reactor is breached what will determine whether you are affected or not will be at the mercy of wind currents with your proximity to the fall out being a secondary concern for the immediate effects.
