There is
much you can do to protect yourself from radiation toxicity. At this time, there is no reason to
panic. Instead, do the following:
1.
Take kelp, not potassium iodide.
Kelp is far more physiological, safer, more nutritious, and contains
many more essential minerals than potassium iodide.
2.
Realize that iodine is not the only need after a nuclear meltdown or radiation
release. The reason iodine is given is because
one element released in many nuclear accidents is radioactive iodine. This is taken up by plants, animals and
human beings. It tends to cause
thyroid cancers, hypothyroidism, birth defects and many other problems. If one has enough iodine in the body,
the body will take up less of the radioactive iodine, and therefore the effects
will be lessened.
However,
a nuclear accident releases many other radioactive and even more harmful
minerals as well. These include
cesium 137, plutonium, uranium, radium, and at least a dozen others. Some have short half lives and become
less toxic in a few days to a few weeks, so they are less of a problem. Others, such as uranium-235 and -238
last for years in your body. Kelp
provides many more of the physiological minerals than potassium iodide, so it
protects better in this way.
3.
Take about 1500-3000 mg of kelp daily. If you get a slight reaction to it, start with less and work
up slowly to these levels.
4.
A nutritional balancing program is the best antidote for radiation poisoning
that I know of. All of us have
been exposed to radiation, more than was released in all of World War II.
A
nutritional balancing program will slowly remove many radioactive minerals from
the body. The mechanisms include:
a) Kelp, as
mentioned above, antagonizes and helps prevent and remove some radioactive
minerals from the body.
b) Renourishing hundreds of nutrients, including two dozen or
more vital minerals, many vitamins, all the amino acids and hundreds if not
thousands of other phytochemicals found in cooked,
not raw vegetables, animal proteins and the other foods we suggest. It is truly the anti-radiation diet.
c)
Nutritional balancing also protects and strengthens the body in other more
subtle ways. These include making
the body more yang and improving its vitality. This definitely helps protect against radiation damage.
Mental
development that occurs with a nutritional balancing program may help to avoid
some types of radiation damage and reverse its effects.
Sauna
therapy, a type of heat therapy, may help kill off weakened cells that have
been weakened or mutated as a result of radiation damage. Otherwise, these cells multiply, and
eventually cause caners and other diseases.
Reducing the
density of the body with open water may also help. Read the article on Open Water
for more on this interesting substance.
5.
Also, please read the article on this website entitled Nuclear Power And The Alternatives. For those who still admire nuclear
power, this article will open your eyes to about a dozen reasons why nuclear is
a stupid way to generate power on planet earth. Clean coal, oil, natural gas, and geothermal power plants
are far better.
Less
advantageous but still better than nuclear power are hydroelectric, wind, solar
and other newer alternatives.
Sadly, many conservatives and liberals have bought into the idea that
somehow nuclear power today is safe, which is simply not true and will never be
true.
Below is
most of someone elseÕs article on radiation toxicity that contains more
scientific research to back up what is discussed above. However, beware that I do not recommend
all the products he suggests.
In
particular, I would avoid all spirulina, chlorella, MSM, most organ meats and even too much miso
soup and pumpkin. These are yin
and not as compatible with the body for other reasons. Otherwise, however, this is an
excellent article.
RADIATION DETOX & PREVENTION
by Azlan White on Sunday, March 13, 2011 at 8:39pm
- Information from www.radiationdetox.com
Here's some of the information we do know
from the only book in the world on the topic. Keep this information in the back
of your mind as it may one day help save you or someone you know.
Most people are aware taking potassium
iodide (KI) or potassium iodate
(KIO3) tablets will help block your thyroid gland from absorbing radioactive
iodine should there ever be a dirty bomb explosion or nuclear power plant
mishap such as the Three Mile Island incident. In 1999, another such accident
happened in Tokaimura, Japan where several
individuals died from radiation exposure in a fuel processing facility.
What people don't recognize is that
potassium iodide or iodate tablets only protect the
thyroid gland and do not provide protection from any other radiation exposure,
so taking them should not give you a false sense of security. It's important to
detox your body after radioactive exposure!
One question is, what do you do if KI or KIO3 tablets aren't available during an emergency?
Interestingly enough, according to research by Ken Miller, health physicist at
the Hershey Medical Center, he found that an adult could get a blocking dose of
stable iodine by painting 8 ml of a 2 percent tincture of Iodine on the abdomen
or forearm approximately 2 hours prior to I-131 contamination. Potassium iodine
tablets are best, but if they're not available this is the next best thing.
An entirely different problem arises
after you've been exposed to radioactive contamination because now you have to
get rid of any radioactive particles you may have ingested through the air you
breathed, water you drank, or food you ate. Some people suggest Epson salt,
Clorox or clay baths to remove any residues on your skin and to leach out any
heavy metals you may have absorbed, but the big worry is internal
contamination. To gain some insights into what to do, we have to turn to the
story of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki.
At the time of the atomic bombing, Tatsuichiro Akizuki, M.D. was
Director of the Department of Internal Medicine at St. Francis's Hospital in
Nagasaki and he fed his staff and patients a strict diet of brown rice, miso and tamari soy soup, wakame,
kombu and other seaweed, Hokkaido pumpkin, and sea
salt. He also prohibited the consumption of sugar and sweets since they
suppress the immune system.
By imposing this diet on his staff and patients,
no one succumbed to radiation poisoning whereas the occupants of hospitals
located much further away from the blast incident suffered severe radiation
fatalities.
Much of this positive result has to do
with the fact that the sea vegetables contain substances that bind radioactive
particles and escort them out of the body. This is why seaweed sales usually
skyrocket after radiation disasters, and why various seaweeds and algae are
typically used to treat radiation victims.
In 1968 a group of Canadian researchers
at McGill University of Montreal, headed by Dr. Stanley Skoryna,
actually set out to devise a method to counteract the effects of nuclear
fallout. The key finding from their studies was that sea vegetables contained a
polysaccharide substance, called sodium alginate, which selectively bound
radioactive strontium and eliminated it from the body.
Sodium alginate is found in many
seaweeds, especially kelp, and since that time the Russians have been seriously
researching the use of their own kelps from Vladivlostok,
from which they have isolated the polysaccharide U-Fucoidan,
which is another radioactive detoxifier.
MISO! -miso soup was so effective in
helping prevent radiation sickness, the Japanese have also done research
identifying the presence of an active ingredient called zybicolin,
discovered in 1972, which acts as a binding agent to also detoxify and
eliminate radioactive elements (such as strontium) and other pollutants from
the body.
The kelps and algaes
aren't the only natural foods with radio-detoxifying effects. In terms of
fluids to drink, BLACK AND GREEN TEA have shown "radioprotective
effects" whether consumed either before or after exposure to radiation.
This anti-radiation effect was observed in several Japanese studies, and studies
from China also suggest that the ingredients in tea are radioactive
antagonists.
In short, after any sort of radioactive
exposure you want to be eating seaweeds and algaes
along with almost any type of commercial heavy metal chelating formula to bind
radioactive particles and help escort them out of the body. Whether you're
worried about depleted uranium, plutonium or other isotopes, this is the wise
thing to do which can possibly help, and certainly won't hurt. Many nutritional
supplements have been developed for the purpose of detoxifying heavy metals,
most of which contain the algaes and plant fibers and
other binding substances.
Basically, an anti-radiation diet should
focus on the following foods:
- Miso soup
- Kelp
- Brassica
vegetables and high beta carotene vegetables
- Beans and lentils
- Cooked vegetables (for potassium,
calcium and other minerals)
- High nucleotide content foods to assist
in cellular repair including sardines, and anchovies
- Cod liver oil and olive oil
- Avoid sugars and sweets and wheat
Yet another benefit of the sea vegetables
rarely discussed is their high mineral content, which is a bonus in the case of
radioactive exposure. Consuming natural iodine, such as in the seaweeds, helps
prevent the uptake of iodine-131 while iron inhibits the absorption of
plutonium-238 and plutonium-239. Vitamin B-12 inhibits cobalt-60 uptake (used
in nuclear medicine), zinc inhibits zinc-65 uptake and sulfur is preventative
for sulfur-35 (a product of nuclear reactors) incorporation by the body.
While we've discussed just a few of the
many supplements and protocols you can use to help detox
the body of the lingering results of radioactive contamination, including the
residues of depleted uranium, the last thing that might be of interest is that
there is a plant that is a natural geiger counter.
The spiderwort plant is so sensitive to changes in radiation levels (its petals
change color upon exposure) that it's often used as a natural radiation
detector (dosimeter), just as they use canaries in mines as detectors of
poisonous gas. Some people like knowing that they have an ongoing monitoring
system for radiation in the environment, and this is just another tip available
in "How to Neutralize the Harmful Effects of Radiation or Radioactive Exposure."
