Amble Health sells a $345 emergency prescription kit called the “Oh ShT Kit” that contains iodine tablets, Prussian blue pills, and the anti-nausea medication ondansetron (Zofran). The company states the kit is primarily focused on workers in medicine, construction, mining, shipping, agriculture, and power generation who are routinely exposed to radiation hazards.

A prescription is required to order the kit, which Amble provides through telehealth appointments with licensed healthcare providers. This requirement exists despite the kit being intended for emergency use in scenarios where access to medical care may be limited. Amble Health is an online platform that connects patients to licensed healthcare professionals in all 50 U.S. states.

The kit's pricing has been noted to exceed the cost of individual components available elsewhere. Iodine tablets are available without a prescription for approximately $13 for a bottle of 60 pills at GNC. Medical-grade Prussian blue is a prescription substance that binds to heavy metals like cesium and thallium in the intestine, and it is typically administered under medical supervision rather than by individuals.

Professor Alex Wellerstein described the product as exploitative. “The 'Oh ShT Kit' is a ripoff at $345. Doomsday grifting at its best,” Wellerstein said. He noted that iodine tablets max out the thyroid’s iodine levels to prevent the uptake of I-131 produced by nuclear fission.

Wellerstein explained the specific utility of potassium iodide in certain radiological events. “Iodine tablets can be of some benefit if taken directly after some kind of release of fresh fission products (whether a nuclear power plant accident or a nuclear detonation),” he said. He added that I-131 is quickly taken up by the body and excreted relatively quickly.

The professor distinguished between different types of radioactive contamination. “[Cesium] has a much longer half-life than I-131 (30 years), and is in the ‘worrisome chronic carcinogen’ category rather than the ‘will give you radiation poisoning’ that I-131 is in,” he said. He expressed doubt about the safety of self-administering Prussian blue without professional oversight.

“I suspect it is the sort of thing that would be administered by a doctor, not taken by an individual, assuming there are doctors around after said ‘radiological event,’” he said. “It is not something that one should take without knowing exactly what dosages are required, I gather.” He further noted that severe symptoms indicate a critical situation. “If you have been exposed to enough radiation that you are vomiting (e.g. suffering from some form of acute radiation syndrome), you’re already in a lot of trouble,” he said.

Wellerstein acknowledged that keeping potassium iodide on hand could provide psychological comfort due to its low cost when purchased separately. “I think the risk/reward tradeoff for potassium iodide is not terrible for people who worry about being exposed to radiological hazards,” he said. “Which is to say, the risk of it happening is pretty low, and it is very cheap when bought on its own and not from grifters, and so if it brings you peace of mind to keep some around, I see no harm in that.”

Amble Health was founded by Joey Stiver, a serial entrepreneur who previously faced a federal indictment and felony conviction related to his involvement in the sale of unapproved peptides and supplements. Stiver stated he began selling medical items in an illicit industry after buying healing peptides online for a shoulder injury, which led to his federal indictment. He has a history of running companies in the wellness and telehealth space, including MinuteMD, Vaxxen Labs, and MedLab, which collectively generated over $1 billion in revenue.

The company offers other prescription kits, such as the 'Cold & Immunity Kit', which contains antibiotics like Amoxicillin and Azithromycin. Amble Health also offers prescriptions for weight-loss drugs such as GLP-1s and anti-aging drugs such as NAD+ and Sermorelin. The name of the emergency kit references a 1985 video game titled Oh Sh.
