(OMNS May 14, 2012) People have been misinformed about the tragedy at Fukushima

and its consequences. There is a continuing cover up, the reactors have not been

stabilized, and radiation continues to be released. The Japanese College of

Intravenous Therapy (JCIT) has recently released a video for people wishing to

learn more about how to protect themselves from contamination by taking large

doses of vitamin C.

and make copies of the video for free distribution.

Japanese Government Minimizes Danger; Ignores Vitamin CIn the fall of 2011, JCIT

presented a study that Fukushima workers had abnormality gene expression, which

may be avoided using dietary antioxidants, especially vitamin C. The data was

presented in Japan, Taiwan, and Korea. The JCIT sent letters to the government

urging the government to tell the people how they may protect themselves from

radiation. To date, the recommendation has been ignored by Japanese government

and TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company).

Linus ing gained the Nobel Peace Prize in part based on his calculations of

the number of deaths from nuclear weapons fallout.[1] He was supported by

physicist and father of the Soviet bomb Andrei Sakharov, who also later received

the Nobel Prize for peace.[2] These and other scientists estimated that there

would be an extra 10,000 deaths worldwide for each megaton nuclear test in the

atmosphere. A nuclear reactor can contain much more radioactive material than a

nuclear weapon. Fukushima had six reactors, plus stored additional radioactive

material and nuclear waste.

How Radiation Damages CellsIonizing radiation acts to damage living tissue by

forming free radicals. Essentially, electrons are ripped from molecules.

Removing an electron from an atom or molecule turns it into an ion, hence the

term ionizing radiation. X-rays, gamma rays, alpha- and beta-radiation are all

ionizing.

Most of the damage occurs from ionizing radiation generating free radicals in

water, as water molecules are by far the most abundant in the body. While

avoiding unnecessary exposure to ionizing radiation is clearly preferable,

people affected by Fukushima do not have the luxury of avoiding contamination.

Antioxidants: Free-Radical ScavengersFree-radical scavengers, as the name

suggests, mop up the damaging radicals produced by radiation. The more common

term for free radical scavenger is antioxidant. Antioxidants replace the

electrons stripped from molecules by ionizing radiation. Antioxidants have long

been used in the treatment of radiation poisoning.[3-7] Most of the harm from

ionizing radiation occurs from free radical damage which may be quenched by the

free electrons antioxidants provide. Fortunately, safe antioxidants are widely

available as nutritional supplements. Vitamin C is the prime example.

Why Vitamin C?Vitamin C is of particular importance and should be included at

high intakes for anyone trying to minimize radiation poisoning. High dose

vitamin C provides continual antioxidant flow through the body. It is absorbed

from the gut and helps to replenish the other antioxidants. When it is used up,

it is excreted in the urine. Importantly, it can chelate, or grab onto,

radioactive heavy metal atoms and help eliminate them from the body. Large

dynamic flow doses of vitamin C (about 3,000 mg, taken 4 times a day for a total

of 12,000 mg) would exemplify antioxidant treatment. Higher doses have been used

by Dr. Atsuo Yanagisawa and colleagues. [8,9]

Shortly after the disaster, Dr. Damien Downing described how supplements can

help protect against radioactive fallout.[10] OMNS issued an update on the

response to Fukushima in Japan.[11] Recently, Dr. Gert Schuitemaker has provided

a review of vitamin C as a radio-protectant for Fukushima contamination.[12]

Persons living in the areas affected by radioactive contamination can take

antioxidant supplements, especially high doses of vitamin C, to counteract the

negative consequences of long-term low dose radiation exposure, as well as to

protect the health of coming generations.[12,13] People who have a possible

internal or external radiation exposure should take antioxidant supplements to

maintain an optimal antioxidant reserve. Because of the enormous size and

oceanic spread of Fukushima contamination, this literally applies to everyone.

“The International Society for Orthomolecular Medicine is pleased to have

participated in the making of this important DVD on the protective effects of

intravenous vitamin C on radiation exposure from the Fukushima nuclear plant in

March 2011. We are in full support of the valuable work of Dr. Yanagisawa and

his colleagues, and we very much appreciate the commitment of Mr. Daisuke

Shibata, who has made it possible for the free distribution of the video around

the world. May this orthomolecular message raise awareness and foster

improvement in the treatment of radiation exposure.” Director,

International Society for Orthomolecular Medicine
