Is there anyway to get Prussian Blue short of begging for a prescription?  If not how does one go about asking, I wouldn't mind having some doses on hand.

How much would be a good amount?, how is it dosed, and administered?  How exactly does it work?

Search   250gm Potassium Ferricyanide 99.0% ACS (Prussian Blue)    on ebay and contact the seller.

OK I found it in powder form, but how do I actually use it?  How is it prepared?  What's the dosage, and how often, for how long?

I thought that was the name of a white supremacist chick band?

Yeah, that's what I was expecting when I opened the thread

I used a paste for setting up gears that was called Prussian blue from NAPA but I doubt it was food grade

It's actually a pigment used to treat heavy metal poisoning, presumably in a post radiological attack or accident scenario.  I'm curious to see where this thread goes, I'm not sure treating this to a successful outcome is something realistically achieved in a shelter-in-place scenario.  I would expect the support infrastructure of a hospital would be required.

If you can avoid eating contaminated food after a dirty bomb or nuclear attack, it's probably unneeded.  If the area you live in is contaminated with cesium-137 the correct answer is going to be "move" not hang around, shop the local farmers' market, and take a sequestering agent.

Google searches for "drugname site:rxlist.com" will usually give you a decent broad overview of any drug.  Start here -

This one is way out there.  Not one stocks Prussian Blue for post nuclear bomb conditions.  The exposure to Cs137 will be spread over a wide area, unlike accidential contamination or even a dirty bomb.  Plus prussian blue isn't all that effective, it results is a biological half life one one month (vs 2 months w/o treatment.  And Cs137 is just one of dozens of significant isotopes.

It's a good drug fro the SNS, but not much use to the individual.

Well, I guess it doesn't hurt to have some Prussian Blue...

but... I'd stock up on mostly Gentian Violet.
