As I write this missive, radioactive clouds from the Japanese nuclear

disaster were expected to reach the western United States within a few

days.  Though part of the radiation is expected to dissipate over the

ocean, some estimates are forecasting radiation exposure levels of 750

RADS or more.  By comparison, one chest X-ray is about 1/300 RADS and

one CT-scan is 1 RAD. Following are several precautionary and

restorative measures to take in the event of radioactive contamination.

 

First and foremost is potassium iodine (KI). Potassium iodine binds to

radioactive iodine and is cleared from the boy within 24-72 hours.  It

is by far the item most used for radiation poisoning.  According to

the USFDA guidelines, the following doses should be taken after likely

internal contamination.

 

*Adults, including breastfeeding women: 130 mg

*Children between 3 and 18 years of age and less than 150 pounds:  65

mg

*Children 150 pounds or more:  130 mg (regardless of age)

*Infants and children between 1 month and 3 years old:  32 mg (whether

nursing or not)

*Nursing and non-nursing newborns from birth to 1 month old: 16 mg.

 

Instead of waiting for nuclear fallout to arrive, it is a good idea to

begin taking lesser preventive doses of iodine in order to have enough

iodine circulating in the body to prevent radioactive iodine from

binding internally. Estimates of how much preventive iodine to take

generally vary from 6 to 50 mg of daily iodine. Note that the average

Japanese consumes 13 mg of iodine daily, which is 100 times more than

the average US resident.

 

When fallout does occur, precautionary measures can help minimize

exposure and ingestion of radioactive materials, including staying

inside, keeping doors and windows closed and turning off air

conditioners.  If possible, cover garden vegetables and fruits ahead

of time.  If one must go outside, wear a face mask, change and wash

clothes upon returning indoors and take showers.  Once the fallout has

passed, wear a mask and spray the entire property, including exposed

vehicles, with a hose. Shower immediately after returning inside.

 

Other suggested items for dealing with radioactive fallout:

 

Take plenty of supplemental echinacea.  Studies, included ones

conducted after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, have shown that

echinacea is excellent for preventing and restoring radiation damage.

 

Use bentonite clay. Bentonite clay can be used for heavy metal detox as

well as to remove radiation. Internal clays have been used for

detoxification for hundreds of years.  As with all clays, the more you

use, the quicker you tend to detox and the longer the treatment the

better.

 

Eat sea vegetables. Studies dating to 1968 found that sea vegetables

contained a polysaccharide substance, called sodium alginate, which

selectively bound radioactive strontium and eliminated it from the body.

Seaweeds are also rich in antioxidants that protect us from degenerative

diseases such cancer as well as slow down the aging process.

 

Eat an anti-radiation diet containing items such as:

 

*Miso soup

*Brassica vegetables and high beta carotene vegetables

*Beans and lentils

*Potassium, calcium and mineral rich foods

*High nucleotide content foods to assist in cellular repair including

spirulina, chlorella, algae, yeast, sardines, liver, anchovies and

mackerel

*Cod liver oil and olive oil

*Avoid sugars, sweets and wheat

*A good whole-food derived multivitamin/multimineral supplement

 

Consume chlorophyll rich wheatgrass.  Tests have indicated that a

wheatgrass rich diet improves survival after exposure to  radiation

and that chlorophyll increases resistance to radiation.

 

Oral sodium bicarbonite (baking soda) can diminish the severity of the

changes produced by uranium in the kidneys.

 

Take N-Acetyl cysteine or use coffee enemas to increase gulathione

levels, which are decimated by exposure to radiation.

 

Use marine phytoplankton to reduce the side effects of chemo and

radiation Research indicates marine phytoplankton can protect against

some of the noxious side effects of radiation.
