Radiation Preparedness

What to do and us if we had a Nuclear Event in this country or if fallout from an event in another part of the world was headed our way…

Good information from David Wolfe: http://www.thebestdayever.com/news/podcast/podcast-63-dave-wolfe-on-radiation-protection/

Some good detox techniques for everyone- in an emergency or in the case of a cleanse to detox environmental pollutants we face everyday..

What to do if there was radiation exposure:

There have been conflicting reports of whether or not to use potassium Iodide…I would use natural products first before you take the pills that everyone has been buying…This should not be a case of have and have not- that those with money can live and those without must suffer..this is a time for us all to come together. Please remember we are all in this together and there is not one perfect cure or answer..this must come from within and be for the highest good of all.

Some Detox Ideas:

Sea Salt Flush
The Sea Salt Flush removes waste matter which for some reason has not yet been removed by the elimination process.
This waste material could be sitting there for years!

We describe the Sea Salt flush like this:
Dissolve 2 level teaspoons of sea salt (not regular salt) in a quart (950 milliliters) of warm water. Drink first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
This will flush out your entire system in approximately one hour.
I have done the Sea Salt Flush and the taste is really disgusting, however, I always feel better after doing it. I try and do this at least once a year for general health.

Sea Salt Flush Tips
*It is difficult to drink a whole quart of this mixture straight up. I drink a small glass of it every 20 minutes until it is all gone.
*Don’t go out anywhere. Stay home near the ammenities because when it’s time to go, it really is time to go!
*Some wellness centers (See Erric Davis) recommend taking Activated Charcoal immediately after going to the dunny the second time. This is to soak up excess toxins.
*Be aware that sea salt contains traces of heavy metals.
If you have a severe heavy metal problem, you might like to consider other options like a Vitamin C Flush for example.

Hi Everyone,

I know everyone is really stressing about everything that is going on in this world, and my deepest sympathy goes all those in Japan and their families. There is something that we all need to realize is taking a look at our own health. It seems everyone wants to take potassium iodide, or at least have some on hand. I think that is a good idea, but listen: When I went to herb school, I found out that the owner/instructor, Steven Schechter helped develop a herbal formula for the Russian government when Chernobyl had their meltdown. He has written a book, “Fighting Radiation”Chemical Pollutants with foods, herbs, & vitamins, and in this book he mentions that in the absence of good nutrition, or when inadequate amounts are consumed, absorption of the radioactive substances become all the more likely to enter your body.
In other words, the less nutritious our diets, the more susceptible we are to the effects of radiation.

I wish more people would realize that our Standard American Diet is just that….SAD. There is so much pollution in our food and air already that should make people stand up and just say NO. People are worrying about some air floating across the sea, when we already have a backyard full of pollution.

And just a note: Fermented foods, because of their especially beneficial effect on the intestines, fermented foods help to counteract these toxins in a number of important ways. They stimulate production of friendly intestinal bacteria, which promotes healthy digestion, and they assist the assimilation of nutrients, in particular the B vitamins. These functions act to directly counteract toxins and equally important, to improve the immune system and help the body to detoxify.

I really recommend Steve’s book: it has a lot of scientific data and research with 600 references to worldwide medical literature. It has self-help remedies that boost your immune system and protect you from increasing chemical and radiation hazards.

Hello everyone …. a homeopathic friend/doctor sent this to me as a calmer way to
deal with radiation issues… a good thing to file away

“Healthy living after radiation fallout”

“The best defense is a good offense”, when it comes to living in good health and calmness despite the radiation we are surrounded with daily from x-rays, microwaves, cell towers, utility line, cell phones, electric appliances and devices and nuclear fallout.

Natural quality care for the body, calmness and peace for our mind, relationships and spirit and a one pointed focus on doing the very best for ourselves and others is the goal. Worry and fear destroys everything they touch and undermines the best of intentions to progress.

Let us commit ourselves to calmly go forward. There are many ways to build the body to protect it from the effects of radiation.
Suggested home first aid for radiation exposure if serious see your doctor or go to the emergency services provided
First within the body if one has been exposed to radiation the radioactive particles need to be bound and excrete them from the body.

Here’s the final summary of well-known radiation detox procedures:

For detox from External Contamination from radiation:

If the radioactive exposure just happened, flush the exposed areas with copious amounts of water and clip the hair if there is excessive radioactive contamination nuclear power plant melt down or a bomb blast.

1. Wash wounds vigorously (scrub them) to make sure no radioactive contaminants can enter the body, and sometimes this is done with special chelation solutions. (Check: www.RadiationDetox.com)

2. Types of baths needed 1-3 times per week)
*Follow with a clay baths to help remove radioactive heavy metals from the skin
*Soak in a warm sea salt and baking soda baths (1 lb or 2.2 Km) of both sea salt and baking soda for 20 minutes then rinse with cool water.
*Epson/Clorox baths are possible for this type of heavy metal detox as well. They are used at home for general detoxification purposes and tend to energize the body. Use 6 oz (.17 kg) Epson salts and 3 TBS (45 grams) Chlorox in warm water then rinse in cool water.
*Bentonite or other clay baths (1 cup )

To protect the body or cleanse it after contamination:
After exposed to radioactive particles, the emergency room may use EDTA chelation therapy, Prussian Blue or the use of other binding agents.
At home take Potassium iodide to help the thyroid gland block from radioiodide uptake, and follow the detox food plan above.

Spirulina, chlorella and other seaweeds

A high fiber diet, or chelating substances (pectin, alginates, etc.)

To Rebuild Immunity: Yeast and yeast beta glucans, mushrooms, ginseng (for energy as well) and Bee Pollen

Rebuilding the blood strategies: Avoid sweets and sugars, and high glycemic foods like wheat

To Rebuild the Blood (Combat Anemia): To build the blood for the hematopoietic syndrome, beet juice, liver extract, spleen extract, alkyglycerols and cytokine factors, like Neupogen, are warranted.

You’ll also need a good (whole food if possible): multivitamin/mineral supplement for its trace minerals, folic acid, B-12, B-6, iron and other nutrients to create strong blood cells.

Fish oils: (cod liver and krill oils) can help suppress levels of proinflammatory cytokines to decrease systemic inflammation and injury new red blood cell-forming proteins. Nettle leaf extract can be helpful.

Lack of melatonin has been linked to a decrease in red blood cells and anemia, so keep a bottle of melatonin to encourage deeper sleep during stressful times and to protect the cells from the damaging effects of radioactivity.

Nettles leaf and yellow dock (and in some case red root)

Homeopathic Ferrum phos 6c can help the body recover from anemia.

Rebuilding the body or building it require blood building, with quality whole raw or steamed vegetables and raw fruits, vitamins and minerals and fatty acids.
Try vegetable juicing, green powders, spirulina, chlorella, seaweeds and other easily digestable foods,
especially those containing large sources of chlorophyll to build strong healthy red blood cells and oxygenate the blood.

As to specific herbs and formulations you can use, just as with homeopathy you should go by the advice of a skilled practitioner.
These are the various factors that may help with hematopoietic syndrome, and for the gastrointestinal syndrome you need to look into glutamine usage as well.

To protect and detox from radiation exposure eat foods from the list below:
Be careful to balance your foods and supplements. Do not eat only these foods.
Be mindful of energizing your foods before eating calmly.
