Natural
Protection from Nuclear Radioactive Fallout and from Chemotherapy and Radiation
Side Effects
High-dose chemotherapy directly destroys the bone marrow's ability
to produce white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Patients
experience side effects from low numbers of white blood cells (neutropenia),
red blood cells (anemia), and platelets (thrombocytopenia). A person exposed
to "fallout" can suffer from a myriad list of ailments, among them thyroid
cancer. Thyroid cancer, due to radiation poisoning, is caused by the uptake
(through inhalation or ingestion) of radioiodine (a radioactive isotope
of iodine). ..
Protection from Radiation Nuclear Fallout And Chemical
Pollutants
August
9, 2011 - Fukushima nuclear power plant radiation recordings of external
gamma radiation have been so high this week, they went off scale said veteran
nuclear expert Arnie Gunderson on Thursday after the famous physicist,
Dr. Chris Busby told the Japanese people this week that radioactive air
contamination there is now 300 times that of Chernobyl and 1000 times the
atomic bomb peak in 1963, inferring that hundreds of millions of people
are now dying from Fukushima radiation, including people in the United
States. If noticing unusual amounts of hair falling out, confusion, nose
bleeds or other odd symptoms typical of radiation sickness, it might be
due to the United States record high levels of radiation, now multiple
times acceptable safety limits not only on the west coast, but also in
other locations around the nation.
March 13, 2011 - Dr. David Brownstein, M.D. -
"As the Japanese nuclear reactors release radiation into the air, the jet
streams will push this radiation to the Western U.S. and Canada.
There are estimates that the radiation fallout will reach the Western side
of N. American in six to ten days. Furthermore, I have seen
estimates that it is expected that 750 RADS may contaminate these areas.
How much is 750 RADS? One chest x-ray is approximately 3/100 RADS.
One CT scan is 1 RAD. The CDC recommends using iodine to prevent injury
form radioactive iodine fallout."
NOTE: I cannot verify
the accuracy of Dr. Browsteins's figures. Shirley
One of the most carcinogenic nuclear fission products found in fallout
is radioactive Iodine (Iodine-131). Iodine-131 is very dangerous
because the thyroid gland readily absorbs it just as it would the natural,
healthy form of iodine. If humans or animals are deficient in iodine, they
are at a substantially higher risk of thyroid damage including thyroid
cancer as a result of exposure to fallout. Nuclear fallout literally
“falls” from the sky and can eventually end up in our soil, our water,
and our food supply. While the Japanese are perhaps one of the best prepared
cultures for such a tragedy due to their high intake of iodine from seaweed,
the majority of others are not. The Japanese typically ingest 100
times the amount of daily iodine as Americans.
Sea
Vegetables Rich in Iodine - A Protection Against Nuclear Radioactive Fallout According to iodine research by Dr. Guy Abraham and Dr. David Brownstein,
as many as 96% of Americans are extremely deficient in iodine. Thankfully,
there is a simple step many of us are already taking to help boost the
protective benefits of iodine within the thyroid and literally ever cell
within our body: Emerald
Sea is a rich and rare natural source of iodine from the most nutrient
dense species of seaweed on the planet. If there is enough iodine
in our bodies, radioactive fallout is no longer able to concentrate in
the thyroid and it will simply pass through. This is just one of the many
benefits of natural, food-based iodine. It not only helps to ensure
proper operation of the thyroid and our entire endocrine system, it helps
to protect this vital gland from the dangers of radioactive fallout.
Iodine is the most abundant non-conservative, biophilic and redox-sensitive
trace element in the oceans. Recently, marine
phytoplankton is implied to play an important role in the iodine-evaporation
from the ocean into the atmosphere, iodine-migration to the sub-oceanic
sediment and iodine-supply to aquatic lower animals (article).
Dr.
Jerry Tennant, M.D. says that marine
phytoplankton contains almost everything one needs to sustain life
and to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells
that function normally. Marine phytoplankton has been called "the most
nutritionally dense foods on the planet". Containing a wide range of trace
elements, omega-3 fatty acid, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll,
enzymes and cellular materials.
Sea
Plants Health Benefits Aren't Just for Humans .... It Can do Wonders for
Dogs, Cats, Ferrets, Horses and Other Animals - Feeding iodine rich
sea plant algae and kelp meal to animals can protect against nuclear radioactive
fallout and also promotes shiny hair coat and supple skin - Healthier and
stronger newborns - Improved milk production in lactating bitches and queens
- Improved reproductive performance both for male and female - Aids in
the healing process by offering the vitamins and minerals necessary for
tissue repair - Better utilization and absorption of nutrients from foods
ingested. Many pet owners, show dog owners and other
animal lovers are also feeding marine
phytoplankton or Emerald
Sea, a rich and rare natural source of iodine to
their animals . The
Emerald company ships only within the USA.
Dr. Jimmy Gutman on Glutathione and Radiation Damage: "Human
health can be adversely affected by exposure to radiation. This can come
in the form of simple sunlight, to x-Ray exposure and more ominously, fallout
from a failed nuclear reactor as seen currently in Japan. Tissue damage,
whether resulting in a sunburn or in thyroid cancer,... is caused by “ionizing”
radiation. What does this term mean? It describes the release of free radicals
from the molecules struck by the radiation. Raising glutathione levels
protects cells from damage by the most dangerous of free radicals (the
hydroxyl-radical) released when ionizing radiation hits us. Besides avoiding
exposure to radiation, the next best thing to consider is limiting the
damage. Our cells own protective mechanisms rely on glutathione
to do this." Glutathione is a master antioxidant, an important line of
defense against diseases, toxins, viruses, pollutants, radiation and oxidative
stress. Low glutathione levels are linked to diseases such as Cancer, Multiple
Sclerosis, AIDS, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Atherosclerosis, pregnancy complications,
male infertility and Cataracts. A Glutathione deficiency can cause a lack
of coordination, mental disorders, tremors, and difficulty maintaining
balance. Glutathione is continuously defending our body against attacks
from disease, toxins, poisons, viruses, pollutants, radiation and oxidative
stress. Without Glutathione our liver would soon become overwhelmed with
the accumulation of toxins, resulting in organ failure and death. click

Robert O. Young D.Sc.,
Ph.D - "In the last ten years, over 25,000 medical articles about this
substance have been published, and the scientific understanding of glutathione
is gradually becoming common knowledge. Each and every cell in the body
is responsible for its own supply of glutathione
and must have the necessary raw materals in order to produce it. Glutathione
is always in great demand and is rapidly consumed when we experience any
sort of emotional or physical stress, fatigue and even moderate exercise."
Nascent
Iodine is a unique, readily assimilable, safe
form of iodine that is rapidly absorbed and used by the body when taken
as a nutritional supplement. It is associated with a wide range of benefits,
not limited to supporting thyroid function and regulating metabolism, boosting
energy levels (when iodine is deficient), supporting and maintaining detoxification
systems and processes, supporting immune system function, fighting infections
(natural antiseptic), and many other healthy benefits. Because of its antiseptic
properties, it also can be used effectively to purify water for drinking.
One drop provides 400 micrograms of Nascent Iodine in a base of organic
grain alcohol. more...
Governments
world-wide are now stockpiling potassium
iodide (KI). Amongst them are Japan, Canada, Britain, France, Germany,
Poland, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Austria, Sweden, etc., but not the
U.S. After Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, all available potassium iodide
supplies disappeared for months, almost overnight. With news of the recent
nuclear accident in Tokaimura, Japan and continuing reports of the growing
numbers of thyroid cancers amongst young Chernobyl victims, who were not
issued potassium iodide, Americans are increasingly seeking out their own
sources for this radiation protection medicine.
The CDC recommends
using iodine to prevent injury form radioactive iodine fallout.
Adults and women who are breastfeeding should take 130mg of potassium
iodide. Children who are between 3 and 18 years of age
should take 65mg of potassium iodide. Children who are adult size
should take the adult dose. Infants and children between 1 month
and 3 years of age should take 32mg of potassium iodide. Newborns from
birth to one month of age should be given 16mg of potassium iodide.
When should you take iodine? For an acute exposure, you want to
take iodine just before the exposure hits. Iodine is cleared out
of the body within
24 to 72 hours after taking it. However, If you have been using ortho-iodosupplementation
as I describe in my books and lectures (taking from 6-50mg/day of iodine
and iodide), you should be covered. Remember, the goal is to
not let the radioactive iodine bind in the body. Protecting

News: "The toll of thyroid cancer carried by the fallout from the Chernobyl
nuclear disaster could have been prevented, new evidence suggests. And
a British cancer expert agrees that had a simple drug been given to young
children in the former Soviet Union who were in the path of the radioactive
cloud which covered much of Eastern Europe, much suffering could have been
prevented. The disaster, in 1986, happened when a reactor at Chernobyl,
in the now-independent state of Ukraine, melted down, throwing large quantities
of radioactive isotopes into the atmosphere. One of these, radioactive
iodine, is absorbed by the thyroid gland, particularly in very young children,
where it can cause cancer, in some cases many years later."
FDA -
"It
is also notable that the thyroid radiation exposures after Chernobyl were
virtually all internal, from radioiodines. Despite some degree of uncertainty
in the doses received, it is reasonable to conclude that the contribution
of external radiation was negligible for most individuals. This distinguishes
the Chernobyl exposures from those of the Marshall Islanders. Thus, the
increase in thyroid cancer seen after Chernobyl is attributable to ingested
or inhaled radioiodines. A comparable burden of excess thyroid cancers
could conceivably accrue should U.S. populations be similarly exposed in
the event of a nuclear accident. This potential hazard highlights the value
of averting such risk by using KI as an adjunct
to evacuation, sheltering, and control of contaminated foodstuffs."
Protecting Against Radioiodine
If you're reading this and you live near a nuclear power plant you may
already be familiar with potassium
iodide (KI). Since the incident at Chernobyl, nearly twenty years ago,
scientists have learned a great deal about the effects radiation poisoning
can have on people.
A person exposed to "fallout" can suffer from a myriad list of ailments,
among them thyroid cancer. Thyroid cancer, due to radiation poisoning,
is caused by the uptake (through inhalation or ingestion) of radioiodine
(a radioactive isotope of iodine). The treatment is practical enough but
a few things should be explained before going on. For instance . . .
Treatments
for Nuclear Contamination Iodine – Glutathione
– Natural Chelation – Clay – Sodium Bicarbonate
(Baking Soda)
The kidneys are usually
the first organs to show chemical damage upon uranium exposure. Old military
manuals suggest doses or infusions of sodium bicarbonate
to help alkalinize the urine if this happens. This makes the uranyl ion
less kidney-toxic and promotes excretion of the nontoxic uranium-carbonate
complex. The oral administration of sodium bicarbonate diminishes the severity
of the changes produced by uranium in the kidneys. So useful and strong
is sodium bicarbonate that at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico,
researcher Don York has used baking soda to clean soil contaminated with
uranium. Sodium bicarbonate binds with uranium, separating it from the
dirt; so far, York has removed as much as 92 percent of the uranium from
contaminated soil samples. I started writing about baking soda after discovering
that the United States Army recommends the use of bicarbonate to protect
the kidneys from radiation damage. learn

The gland produces a hormone (thyroxin) that regulates the metabolism
of the body. From there, the thyroid gland has an influence in affecting
many functions of the body including increasing heart rate and body temperature,
mental alertness, enhancing energy, and increasing secretion of Growth
Hormone. For more information on the thyroid gland and thyroid disorders,
Click here
Where
Does Iodine Come Into Play? The thyroid's primary "fuel" - as it were -
is iodine. It uptakes the iodine and converts it into the necessary hormones
for bodily function. This feature is wherein the danger lies. The thyroid
gland, as previously stated, wants iodine. Wherever it can get it, it will.
This makes it extremely vulnerable to the uptake of radioactive iodine.
This fact is both a cure and a crux.
Radioiodine, in controlled dosage, is the preferred treatment for thyroidal
ilnesses such as thyroid cancer, hyperthyroidism,
and Grave's disease. The key is "CONTROLLED DOSAGE". Treatments are, ideally,
under supervision and the threat of overexposure is limited. This is not
the case in a radioactive fallout. Overexposure to radioiodine would be
almost a certainty. The destroyed/damaged thyroid is then succeptible to
the development of cancer. An interesting irony!
So what does all of this have to do Potassium iodide (KI) ?
Since the thyroid is such a glutton for iodine, the best thing to do
is to let it have it! If a nuclear emergency should occur, be it from a
reactor or attack, the preferred way to block the uptake of radioiodine
is by making certain that the gland is already saturated with iodine. Insert
KI here! potassium
iodide (KI) supplies the thyroid with the over-abundance of iodine
it needs and prevents it from absorbing the radioactive iodine.
Believe it or not most of you have consumed potassium iodide, that is
if you've ever used table salt. It's added to salt to help stave off iodine
deficiency. Of course there's less than 0.01% so it's ineffective as a
treatment. It will do you no good to consume huge quantities of salt in
a radioactive emergency - you'll just end up with high blood pressure and
will still have the threat of thyroid cancer.
Chemotherapy:
Afraid of Their Own Medicine
In one survey, most oncologists specializing
in lung cancer reported that they would not take chemotherapy if they had
the disease. Yet, everyday these doctors give their patients chemotherapy.
In conversation with an investigative reporter, one brain cancer specialist
admitted that he would never submit to radiation if he had a brain tumor.
Nevertheless, he continues to send patients for radiation, because he would
be kicked out of the hospital if he didn't follow the accepted protocol.

A person exposed to "fallout" can suffer from a myriad list of ailments,
among them thyroid cancer. Thyroid cancer, due to radiation poisoning,
is caused by the uptake (through inhalation or ingestion) of radioiodine
(a radioactive isotope of iodine). The Chernobyl reactor accident resulted
in massive releases of 131I and other radioiodines. Beginning approximately
4 years after the accident, a sharp increase in the incidence of thyroid
cancer among children and adolescents in Belarus and Ukraine (areas covered
by the radioactive plume) was observed. In some regions, for the first
4 years of this striking increase, observed cases of thyroid cancer among
children aged 0 through 4 years at the time of the accident exceeded expected
number of cases by 30- to 60-fold. In the Federal Register of December
15, 1978, FDA announced its conclusion that KI, a natural supplement, is
a safe and effective means by which to block uptake of radioiodines by
the thyroid gland in a radiation emergency. more
The immune system may take even longer to recover
than white blood cell production thus resulting in a susceptibility to
some bacterial, fungal and viral infections for weeks or months, including
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, herpes zoster infection, which commonly
occurs after high-dose chemotherapy.
"I started as a believer in chemotherapy. As a science writer at
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, I wrote articles praising
the latest advances in chemotherapy. Because chemotherapy drugs were general
cellular poisons, they could be terribly toxic. They were also very expensive
for patients and for society as a whole. When I learned about the links
between the pharmaceutical industry and the cancer establishment (later
detailed in my book, The Cance r Industry) I understood the commercial
reason that such an inadequate modality was so heavily promoted" Ralph

On August 10, 1998 at age two, our son Alexander Horwin was diagnosed
with the most common pediatric brain tumor, medulloblastoma. After Alexander
endured two brain surgeries my husband and I located the best non-toxic
therapy that had proven successful in treating brain cancer. However, on
September 21, 1998, the FDA denied Alexander access to this potentially
life-saving treatment. The oncologists told us that without their "state-of-the-art"
chemotherapy, the cancer would soon return. We knew nothing of the history,
efficacy and actual danger of chemotherapy but instinctively knew it was
a poor choice for therapy. Alexander completed his third month of
chemotherapy in December 1998 and died on January 31, 1999. He was just
two and a half years old.
The "state-of-the-art" chemo protocol that the oncologists had administered
to our son had proven its ineffectiveness in pediatric brain tumors many
years before. In fact, in 1994, the exact same chemo drugs Alexander received
in 1998 had been administered to children the same age with the same brain
tumor (medulloblastoma) as Alexander. This experiment proved so unsuccessful
that tumors spread within five months and the oncologists terminated the
protocol. It was incredible to us to discover that chemotherapy that had
already proven so ineffective that it required termination was being presented
to parents as "state of the art" years later.
We
were never informed about the failure of this therapy. We also discovered
that we weren't the only parents being purposefully misinformed.
Today, parents are still being misled and children with brain cancer
are still getting these same toxic drugs that have proven their ineffectiveness
in the past. But even if you are informed that orthodox therapy does
not work you still may not have a choice. When we hesitated to bring Alexander
in for chemo the oncologists were already gearing up to take him from us

Radiation
and Electromagnetics (ELF) There are two types of radiation, according to Lita Lee, author of
Radiation Protection Manual. They are ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.
The ionizing radiation is more damaging because it is of a higher energy
than non-ionizing radiation and produces charged particles called ions,
either negative ions (the good "guys") or positive ions (the bad ones).
Ionizing radiation is produced from nuclear bombs, nuclear reactors, medical
and dental x-rays, and is the type of radiation used to irradiate food.
The non-ionizing radiation includes electromagnetic radiation produced
by electric current, radio waves, microwave ovens, radar stations, television
(cathode ray tube), video display terminals (VDT's) computers, high voltage
lines, infrared and fluorescent lights, and sunlamps (e.g. tanning booths
which emit ultraviolet light). Read

The concept is not one we like to let slip into our conscious minds
- that of a severe nuclear emergency. But it is possible, especially under
current conditions. It's always best to be prepared.
What do I do if I'm exposed?
In the event of a nuclear emergency, local officials will have the
task of instructing the public on the immediate actions to take. In relation
to radioactive iodine, the consumption of KI within 3-4 hours of exposure
is necessary to help prevent the radioiodine uptake from occurring.
FDA
- "In the Federal Register of December 15, 1978, FDA announced its conclusion
that KI is a safe and effective means by which to block
uptake of radioiodines by the thyroid gland in a radiation emergency under
certain specified conditions of use. In the Federal Register of June 29,
1982, FDA announced final recommendations on the administration of KI to
the general public in a radiation emergency. Those recommendations were
formulated after reviewing studies relating radiation dose to thyroid disease
risk that relied on estimates of external thyroid irradiation after the
nuclear detonations at Hiroshima and Nagasaki and analogous studies among
children who received therapeutic radiation to the head
and neck. Those recommendations concluded that at a projected dose to the
thyroid gland of 25 cGy or greater from ingested or inhaled radioiodines,
the risks of short-term use of small quantities of KI were outweighed by
the benefits of suppressing radioiodine-induced thyroid cancer."
In November 2001, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a final
"Guidance on Potassium
Iodide as a Thyroid Blocking Agent in Radiation Emergencies." The objective
of the document is to provide guidance to other Federal agencies, including
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC), and to state and local governments regarding the safe
and effective use of potassium iodide (KI) as an adjunct to other public
health protective measures in the event that radioactive iodine is released
into the environment. The adoption and implementation of the recommendations
are at the discretion of the state and local governments responsible for
developing regional emergency-response plans related to radiation emergencies.
The recommendations in the guidance address KI dosage and the projected
radiation exposure at which the drug should be used. This guidance updates
FDA’s 1982 recommendations.
After careful review of the data from Chernobyl
relating estimated thyroid radiation dose and cancer risk in exposed children,
FDA is revising its recommendation for administration of KI based on age,
predicted thyroid exposure, and pregnancy and lactation status ( see Table).
Warning: Tincture
of iodine and concentrated iodine widely sold for water purification
are not safe for internal use. The small typical one ounce bottle of tincture of iodine contains about
one tablespoon or approximately 30 ml of fluid. (The larger pint bottles
contain 473 ml.) To a small child, ingesting the small 1 ounce bottle,
even if well diluted to make it palatable, could prove fatal. Everyone
needs to understand that all 'tincture of iodine' bottles are clearly marked
"POISON" for a very good reason. Ingesting elemental free iodine, such
as 'tincture of iodine', in quantities sufficient to attempt thyroid-blocking
in a nuclear emergency is not a safe, nor an effective, alternative.
Regarding ingesting (drinking/swallowing) iodine, iodine tablets (widely
sold for water purification), tincture of iodine, or Povidone-iodine solutions
(like the Betadine® brand solution): Cresson H. Kearny, the author
of Nuclear
War Survival Skills, Original Edition Published September, 1979, by
Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a Facility of the U.S. Department of Energy
(Updated and Expanded 1987 Edition) states on page 115: "Elemental
(free) iodine is poisonous, except in the very small amounts in water disinfected
with iodine tablets or a few drops of tincture of iodine. Furthermore,
elemental iodine supplied by iodine tablets and released by tincture of
iodine dropped into water is not effective as a blocking agent to prevent
thyroid damage. If you do not have any potassium
iodide, DO NOT TAKE IODINE TABLETS OR TINCTURE OF IODINE. Iodine is
normally used in doses of 8 PPM to treat clear water for a 10 minute contact
time. The effectiveness and safety of this dose has been shown in numerous
studies.
As far back as 1953 in the study "Test of chronic toxicity of iodine
as related to the purification of water". U.S. Armed Forces medical journal,
1953, 4:725-728 Morgan DP, Karpen RJ., it was shown that: "No adverse health
effects were reported in men who drank water providing iodide at doses
of 0.17-0.27 mg/kg of body weight per day for 26 weeks" That works out
to a reported safe ingestion of elemental iodine via treated water of between
14 and 22 mg per day for an 180 lb adult. To attempt to achieve a thyroid-blocking
dose of nearly 100 mg of iodine (the iodine content of a 130 mg KI tablet)
would thus require exceeding that proven safe level by a factor of at least
four to seven times for an 180 lb adult. And, this would be with potentially
poisonous elemental free iodine that is also claimed above by Cresson H.
Kearny to be "...not effective as a blocking agent to prevent thyroid damage."
USP tincture of iodine contains 2% iodine and 2.4% sodium iodide dissolved
in 50% ethyl alcohol and according to the National Academy of Sciences
in Drinking Water and Health. Vol. 3. Washington, DC, National Academy
Press, 1980. Doses of 30-250 ml of tincture of iodine (about 16-130 mg
of total iodine per kg of body weight) have been reported to be fatal.
Potassium Iodide (KI) is Safe
(from the UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
OFFICE OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL SAFETY AND SAFEGUARDS)
"The FDA has evaluated the medical and radiological risks of administering
potassium iodide (KI) for thyroid blocking under emergency conditions.
The FDA has concluded that FDA-approved "radiation emergency potassium
iodide" is safe and effective and has approved it for over-the-counter
sale for this purpose (Federal Register, Vol. 50, No. 142, p. 30258, July
24, 1985). Potassium iodide is effective as a thyroid blocking agent.
It reduces thyroid gland accumulation of radioiodine that has entered the
body through inhalation or ingestion if the potassium iodide is administered
before, or immediately after, exposure to the radioiodine. If potassium
iodide is administered later than four hours after an individual has suffered
an acute ingestion or in-halation of radioiodine, its effectiveness as
a thyroid blocking agent is less than 50 percent."

Prior to 1996, the wireless age was not coming online fast enough, primarily
because communities had the authority to block the siting of cell towers.
But the Federal Communications Act of 1996 made it nearly impossible
for communities to stop construction of cell towers "even if they pose
threats to public health and the environment. Since the decision to enter
the age of wireless convenience was politically determined for us, we have
forgotten well-documented safety and environmental concerns and, with a
devil-may-care zeal that is lethally short-sighted, we have incorporated
into our lives every wireless toy that comes on the market. We behave as
if we are addicted to radiation. Our addiction to cell phones has led to
harder "drugs" like wireless Internet. And now we are bathing in the radiation
that our wireless enthusiasm has unleashed. Those who are addicted, uninformed,
corporately biased and politically-influenced may dismiss our scientifically-sound
concerns about the apocalyptic hazards of wireless radiation. But we must
not. Instead, we must sound the alarm.
We know radiation exposure causes approximately 3% of all cancers. This
fact has been studied extensively. When you are exposed to radiation a
very reactive type of free radical is formed called a “hydroxyradical”.
Studies have shown glutathione’s (GSH) detoxification abilities play a
key role in neutralizing hydroxyradicals and cancer specialists are now

therapy as part of their cancer treatment. Detoxification benefits

tolerate their treatment. Studies have also been done around the world,
from Switzerland to Spain to India to Germany, on the effect of glutathione
(GSH) on radiation damage. Low levels of glutathione (GSH) were connected
with an increased risk of developing cancer from radiation exposure. Patients
undergoing cancer treatment experienced stronger side effects and greater
injury from radiation therapy when they had low
glutathione (GSH) levels. And white blood cells, the cells
used by the immune system, have been shown to be better able to withstand
radiation therapy when cancer specialists raised glutathione (GSH) prior
to treatment. The implication here is...glutathione (GSH) does and will,
to a greater degree, play a major role in the treatment of cancer by using
detoxification to reduce the damaging effects of radiation. learn

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 Chernobyl, for instance, spirulina was used to help save many children
from radiation poisoning. By taking 5 grams of spirulina
a day for 45 days, the Institute of Radiation Medicine in Minsk even proved
that children on this protocol experienced enhanced immune systems, T-cell
counts and reduced radioactivity. Israeli scientists have since treated
Chernobyl children with doses of natural beta carotene from Dunaliella
algae
and proved that it helped normalize their blood chemistry. Chlorella
algae, a known immune system builder and heavy metal detoxifier, has also
shown radioprotective effects. Because they bind heavy metals, algae should
therefore be consumed after exposure to any type of radioactive contamination.
(Note:
Marine
phytoplankton is also a powerbul detoxifier and nourishing product)
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. Because
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:
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.
Since nuclear workers are potentially exposed to radioactive sulfur,
this means that workers in the atomic power industry need a higher content
of sulfur in their diet. MSM supplements provide a source of dietary sulfur,
but thiol supplements such as cysteine, lipoic acid and glutathione serve
double-duty in this area because they help detoxify the body and attack
all sorts of other health problems as well.
Depleted uranium is currently in the journalistic spotlight because
US weapons are made from this material, and after being fired leave a legacy
of depleted uranium dust in the environment, which anyone can absorb. Because
the kidneys are usually the first organs to show chemical damage upon uranium
exposure, military manuals suggest doses or infusions of sodium bicarbonate
to help alkalinize the urine if this happens. This makes the uranyl ion
less kidney-toxic and promotes excretion of the nontoxic uranium carbonate
complex.
In areas contaminated by depleted uranium dusts, it therefore makes
sense to switch to drinking slightly alkaline
water and to favor a non-acidic diet to assist in this detoxification.
Any of the heavy metal detoxifiers, such as miso soup, chlorella, spirulina
and seaweeds, are also commonsense warranted.
Another thing you can do is use homeopathics
for radiation exposure. People commonly argue over whether homeopathics
work or not, but if you assume the position that they produce no results
whatsoever then you must also assume that they certainly won't hurt you,
which means the only loss from using them is a few dollars. Frankly, there
are countless cases and double-blind studies where homeopathic tinctures
do provoke physical healing effects in the body. Therefore they are a viable
adjunct treatment option. One homeopathic, in particular, is URANIUM NITRICUM
(nitrate of uranium) which homeopaths suggest should be used in cases of
depleted uranium exposure or uranium poisoning. Not just soldiers or civilians
exposed to battlefield dusts, but uranium miners and radiation workers
may find it quite useful.
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."

"The chemical pollution in air, soil and water is particularliy serious,
since the pollutants find their way into the food chain and their absorption
into the body can be hazardous ... Our investigation has shown that alginate
can bind radioactive strontium .. binds with other metal pollutants such
as excess barium, cadmium and zinc." "There is no family of foods more
protective against radiation and environmental pollutants than sea vegetables.
Sea
vegetables can prevent assimilation of different radionuclitides,
heavy metals such as cadmium, and other environmental toxins." An
experiment conducted by J.F. Stara at the Environmental Protection Agency
showed that sodium alginate significantly reduced the amount of radio active
strontium in the bones of cats. Stara observed that radio active strontium
in the bones is resecreted into the intestines where it is bound by alginate,
neutralized then excreted in the stools."
"This silent killer is everywhere present and we are daily exposed to
it in our technical world and in our atmosphere. We have special herbs
and spices in this formula specifically addressing the removal process
of radiation from the body. Radiation in excess results in flu-like symptoms
and definitely affects the throat or thyroid area as other parts of the
body. Sources: Computers, microwaves, electric blankets, industrial pollution,
nuclear plants, air pollution, x-rays, cell phones (causing brain tumors),
radiation therapy for cancer, televisions, airplane flights, and of course
nuclear bombs. Solar flares (which we have had more in recent years). Microwave

Clays are particularly known for their ability to remove toxic metals
from the air, water, and soil because of their unusual structure of “pores”
(channels and holes) that allows them to absorb huge amounts of contaminant
materials. Toxic gases, chemicals, mold, heavy metals, and other toxins
are drawn by the natural negative electrical charge into the crystal micro
pores of the clay. The unique structure of clay provides literally millions
of pores or sieves - “shape-selective catalysts” - that catch only molecules
small enough to fir into the cavities while excluding larger molecules.
The unique structure of clays therefore gives them unusual filtering
capabilities for absorbing toxic wastes, including radioactive contaminants.
In just one gram of Zeolite clay, for instance, the three dimensional structure
of the channels in its crystalline structure provide up to several hundred
square meters of surface area on which absorption (and channel reactions)
can take place. The Zeolites are particularly useful for removing heavy
metals and radioactive species from water.
LL’s Magnetic Clay Baths has a superior Environmental Detox Bath, composed
of Bentonite clay with very trace amounts of aluminum content and are used
for heavy metal detox and also to remove radiation. As with all clays,
the more you use, the quicker you tend to detox. The Environmental Detox
Bath is another possibility for heavy metal detoxification that is stronger
than Zeo-Rad Bath, and is usually taken just once a week.
Internal clays have been used for a detoxification supplement for hundreds
of years to remove disease symptoms. It has the ability to remove toxic
metals and chemical residues, bacteria, and blood toxins with virtually
no side effects of constipation, diarrhea, or stomach cramping and is also
known to remove radiation, arsenic, lead, mercury, and aluminum amid other
toxic metals in less than six weeks. It’s said that after the meltdown
of the Chemobyl Soviet nuclear power plant in 1986, the Soviet Union put
French Green clay in chocolate bars and dispensed them freely to the masses
to remove radiation they may have been exposed to. more
Wheatgrass
and radiation Tests have been made which point to a chlorophyll
(wheatgrass) rich diet affecting the survival of experimental animals after
lethal doses of radiation.* In 1950, Lourau and Lartigue reported that
cabbage supplement (chlorophyll) increases the resistance of
guinea pigs to radiation.

N.D
Therapeutic
Clay "Russian scientists use bentonite to protect their bodies
from radiation when working with nuclear material, by coating their hands
and bodies with a hydrated bentonite "magma" before donning radiation suits.
Bentonite adsorbs radiation so well, in fact, that it was the choice material
used to dump into Cherynobl after the nuclear meltdown in the former Soviet
Union." Dr. Jensen, N.D., D.C., Ph.D., suggests using bentonite to absorb
radiation from the bones. Since so many of us are subject to various
forms of radiation, whether from X-rays or television or computers, this
would be something to consider. This could be extremely important
for those who have undergone radiation treatment for cancer.
The official could only have known about the diabetes link to depleted
uranium from the U.S. State Department and the source of it all: the Lawrence
Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab, "managed" for 61 years by the University
of California. The University of California nuclear weapons
labs are the core of the nuclear weapons program in the U.S., the only
remaining superpower. On May 29, Moret charged the University of
California and the Los Alamos and Livermore Nuclear Weapons Labs with engineering
the largest global increase of diabetes in history and trying to cover
it up. Fine uranium dust, vaporized into a poison radioactive gas by exploding
uranium bombs, missiles and bullets, hitches a ride on dry desert winds
to circle the globe in days. Dr. Chris Busby, a leading British radiation
expert, got data from a nuclear weapons air monitoring facility at Aldemaston,
England, which identified depleted uranium in the British atmosphere only
nine days after the "shock and awe" carpet bombing of Baghdad, started
in March of 2003. The embassy official had just let the cat out of the
bag and confirmed the link between the global epidemic of diabetes and
the use of depleted uranium by the U.S.-U.K. expeditionary forces in Iraq,
Afghanistan and the former Yugoslavia.
Depleted uranium is a genocidal radioactive metal used for bullets,
bombs and missiles by the United States and Great Britain as munitions
in Iraq, Afghanistan and the former Yugoslavia. Millions of pounds of weaponized
radioactive uranium gas and dust have been dispersed by US/UK military
forces in Iraq and Central Asia. The use of uranium weapons has caused
a global diabetes epidemic since 1991, according to scientist Leuren Moret.
It is enough uranium dust to cause an estimated twenty five million additional
cancers in Iraq in the next decade. The US and UK military still use uranium
munitions. There are only 24 million Iraqis. Many Iraqis now have multiple
cancers.
Uranium
Poisoning The increased use of uranium compounds in industry, and more recently
in warfare in the form of depleted uranium, causes concern and a necessary
look at internal contamination with uranium and its toxicological consequences,
both as a heavy metal and as a radiological hazard. I became interested
when my laboratory tests came back this past year with all metals in the
normal range EXCEPT uranium! I began to wonder where am I getting uranium?
With some digging for information, it seems everyone in North America may
be exposed to uranium. First, let's see what uranium is and the sources.

Liver
Damage: Veno-Occlusive Disease of the Liver (VOD) High-dose
chemotherapy can result in damage to the liver which can be serious and
even fatal. This complication is increased in patients who have had a lot
of previous chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, a history of liver damage
or hepatitis. Veno-occlusive disease of the liver typically occurs in the
first 2 weeks after high-dose chemotherapy treatment. Patients typically
experience symptoms of abdominal fullness or swelling, liver tenderness
and weight gain from fluid retention. Development of strategies to prevent
or treat veno-occlusive disease is an active area of clinical investigation.
Milk
Thistle has a long therapeutic history for the treatment of liver disorders
Milk
thistle (Silybum marianum - syn. Carduus marianus L.) is a common herb
that has been used as a liver tonic for at least 2,000 years. It
was mentioned by Theophrastus (4th century B.C.) with the name of Pternix
and by Pliny the Elder (1st century A.D.) with the name of Sillybum. Von
Haller (1744) in its "Medizinischen Lexicon" documented the specific use
of the plant for liver disorders. In the 19th and 20th centuries many authors
such as Rademacher, Schulz and Henry Leclerc mentioned the fruits of S.
marianum for the treatment of liver diseases, disorders of the bile duct
and spleen.
Milk thistle seeds contain
a bioflavonoid complex known as silymarin. This constituent is responsible
for the medical benefits of the plant (according to Wagner H, Horhammer
L, Munster R. in their article "The chemistry of silymarin (silybin), the
active principle of the fruits of Silybum marianum (l.) Gaertner", published
in Arzneim-Forsch Drug Research 1968; 18: 688-96.) Silymarin is a mixture
of chemical compounds (called flavonolignans) that may help protect and
even repair the liver. Researchers hypothesize that it blocks toxins from
entering liver cells. The liver is the only organ that can regenerate itself,
and silymarin may accelerate this process by stimulating the production
of the proteins that are the building blocks of new liver cells. Finally,
some data suggests that silymarin is an antioxidant, which means it might
protect cells from damage by scavenging oxygen molecules called free radicals.
Literally hundreds of research
studies, mostly in Europe, have confirmed the remarkable ability of milk
thistle to protect the liver against virtually all types of damage: from
accidental exposure to chemical pollutants, toxic side effects of medications,
liver diseases like hepatitis and even the self inflicted damage from overindulgence
of rich food and alcohol. The United States National Library of Medicine
has catalogued more than 300 scientific studies of milk thistle and its
active compounds in their medicine database. Milk

Despite objections from several consumer groups and thousands of parents,
teachers and children, the Department of Agriculture approved the use of
irradiated ground beef in the national school lunch program. Local
school districts will now have the option of ordering hamburgers and meat
loaf treated with low doses of bacteria-destroying radiation to be served
in school cafeterias. Some 27 million school children receive free or low-cost
meals daily under the USDA's national school lunch program. While there
is not a lot of evidence showing that irradiation is harmful, the effects
of long-term consumption of irradiated food products remain to be seen.
Irradiating food causes the creation of known toxins and unique chemicals.

When the sun goes down, melatonin a hormone produced by
the pineal gland begins to build up in the body. Melatonin brings on sleep
and it is the body’s internal cleanser removing dead cells and toxins.
Melatonin levels are highest in the early morning and then drop off as
it becomes light. Though it may be common knowledge, that a good night
sleep can cure many ailments, what is not commonly known is that ELF radiation
from electrical devices can adversely decrease melatonin levels in the
body. So that television in your room, electric blanket or waterbed heater,
and that clock radio near your head can be adversely affecting your health,
by impeding the body's natural ability to heal itself. The Swedish government
has recently decided that the maximum tolerance level for electrical devices
is 2milligauss, but unfortunately most household devices far exceed this
amount. A vacuum cleaner may be emitting 300mg plus.
At this stage, you are probably thinking to yourself that
this news is all too much to bear and to throw caution to the wind and
hide your head in the sand and hope for the best. You are free to do so
but health is not all in the mind. A Gauss meter can be purchased from
US $40 -$200. This device can detect ELF radiation levels of current electrical
devices and if you intend to purchase new items it is really a small investment
to find a device that emits the lowest ELF radiation.
The bedroom is the most important area in the house as
this is where the body is cleansed. If melatonin levels are decreased by
ELF radiation, not only will it be difficult to sleep but melatonin will
not be able to effectively clean the body from cancer cells and toxins.
Synthetic melatonin is not the same as your own melatonin. So rather than
choose another cure all drug, look to the environment around your house
and make more lasting changes. So now, that you have got rid of sources
of radiation, what about the mattress you sleep on. What is it made of
and what gases is the mattress emitting while you sleep so innocently on
it. Try formadehyde, plasticers, antimony, phosphine (PH3), arsine (AsH3)
and stibine (SbH3) to name a few. More

The
identical damage resulting from both radioactive gamma waves and high frequency
microwaves involves a pathological condition in which the nuclei of irradiated
human cells splinter into fragments called micronuclei. Micronuclei are
a definitive pre-cursor of cancer. During the 1986 nuclear reactor disaster
at Chernobyl in Russia, the ionizing radiation released was equivalent
to 400 atomic bombs, with an estimated ultimate human toll of 10,000 deaths.
Exposed Russians quickly developed blood cell micronuclei, leaving them

Studies
over the last 15 years have hinted at a connection between EMFs and health
problems. EMFs have been implicated in behavioral changes, birth
defects, memory loss, and Alzheimer's disease. In 1976, two doctors
at the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Syracuse, N.Y. showed that
the offspring of mice exposed to extremely low-frequency EMFs from power
lines were born stunted. Chronic exposure to high levels of EMR, especially
while asleep, is a constant drain on our vitality. It creates chronic stress,
which interferes with the regeneration and healing that normally takes
place during a good night’s sleep. You may compare it to always swimming
against a strong current and this may well make the difference between
recovering from a serious disease and succumbing to it. read

the health risks from electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) far below what
is required for cellular phones to communicate. Recent clinical and laboratory
studies have shown that the EMFs emitted from your cell phone can cause

- "Every function inside the body is regulated by and depends on water.
Water must be available to carry vital elements, oxygen, hormones, and
chemical messengers to all parts of the body. Without sufficient water
to wet all parts equally, some more remote parts of the body will not receive
the vital elements that water supplies. Water is also needed to carry toxic
waste away from the cells. In fact, there are at least 50 reasons why the
body needs sufficient water on a regular, everyday basis. Without sufficient
water to constantly wet all parts, your body's drought-management system
kicks into action. The histamine-directed chemical messenger systems are
activated to arrange a new, lower quota of water for the drought-stricken
areas. When histamine and its subordinate "drought managers" come across
pain-sensing nerves, they cause pain. This is what I discovered in my research
that I mentioned earlier."
Benefits of Alkaline, Ionized Water,
by Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi, M.D. Water has the ability to attract and accumulate bio-energy. It also
stores an energy memory of harmful or helpful vibrations to which it was
exposed in the past. Chlorinated tap water is polluted with non-biological
chemicals and negative energy imprints. It is also devoid of bio-energy
and so may be regarded as being badly polluted as well as 'dead'. Alkaline
living water is regarded by a growing number of health care professionals
as the best water to drink and is listed as a medical device in Japan for
the treatment of degenerative diseases.

Substances that are toxic to our bodies come at us from all
directions: the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, the
cleaning products we use, and the metabolic waste produced inside us. Toxins

diseases. Dr. Steve Nugent, the past president of the American Naturopathic

there are more toxins inside the home than outside the home! Your cells
actually contain over 400 new toxins that didn't even exist 45 years ago

no idea how to cope with a crisis. "I do not believe it is a question of
whether a lone terrorist or terrorist group will use infectious disease
agents to kill unsuspecting citizens; I'm convinced it's really just a
question of when and where," writes Osterholm in the introduction.
Books about disease and bioterrorism have become a subgenre in recent
years, following the popular success of Richard Preston's The Hot Zone
and Ken Alibek's Biohazard. Living Terrors probably provides the best quick-and-dirty
guide to the problem for lay readers, with its harrowing descriptions of
why certain diseases are so fatal and its clear assessment of America's
disturbing vulnerabilities. Each chapter begins with a fictionalized account
of how an attack might occur. In one, Osterholm and Schwartz write of a
disgruntled scientist who loads anthrax into a crop-duster and flies over
a crowded stadium. The authors believe this kind of sensationalism is completely
warranted, given the nature of the threat and federal government's lackadaisical
response to it. The point, they say, is "to warn you that the threat of
biological terrorism is real without frightening you out of your wits.
Instead, we hope to frighten you into your wits." --John J. Miller
Three reporters from The New York Times survey the recent history of
biological weapons and sound an alarm about the coming threat of the "poor
man's hydrogen bomb." Germs begins ominously enough, recounting the chilling
attack by the followers of the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh in 1984 on the Dalles,
Oregon--no one died, but nearly 1,000 were infected with a strain of salmonella
that the cult had legally obtained, then cultured and distributed.
While the U.S. maintained an active "bugs and gas" program in the '50s
and early '60s, bio-weapons were effectively pulled off this country's
agenda in 1972 when countries around the world, led by the United States,
forswore development of such weapons at the Biological and Toxin Weapons
Convention. The issue reemerged in the early '90s thanks to Saddam Hussein
and revelations of the clandestine and massive buildup of bio-weapons in
remote corners of the Soviet Union. The book's description of the Soviet
program is horrific. At its peak the program employed thousands of scientists,
developing bioengineered pathogens as well as producing hundreds of tons
of plague, anthrax, and smallpox annually. The authors conclude that while
a biological attack against the United States is not necessarily inevitable,
the danger of bio-weapons is too real to be ignored. Well-researched and
documented, this book will not disappoint readers looking for a reliable
and sober resource on the topic. --Harry C. Edwards
In this fast-paced memoir, Ken Alibek combines cutting-edge science
with the narrative techniques of a thriller to describe some of the most
awful weapons imaginable. The result will remind readers of The Hot Zone,
Richard Preston's smart bestseller about the Ebola virus. That book focuses
on the dangers of a freak accident; Biohazard shows how disease can become
a deliberate tool of war. Alibek, once a top scientist in the Soviet Union's
biological weapons program, describes putting anthrax on a warhead and
targeting a city on the other side of the world. "A hundred kilograms of
anthrax spores would, in optimal atmospheric conditions, kill up to three
million people in any of the densely populated metropolitan areas of the
United States," he writes. "A single SS-18 [missile] could wipe out the
population of a city as large as New York."
Chilling passages like these, plus discussions of proliferation and
terrorism, make Biohazard a harrowing book, but it also has a human side.
Alibek, who defected to the United States, describes the routine danger
of his work: "A bioweapons lab leaves its mark on a person forever." An
unending stream of vaccinations has destroyed his sense of smell, afflicted
him with allergies, made it impossible to eat certain kinds of food, and
"weakened my resistance to disease and probably shortened my life." But
it didn't take away his ability to tell an astonishing story. --John J.
Miller

- "Clinical evidence links low glutathione
levels to the most common illnesses of our time as well as newly emerging
diseases. Glutathione levels diminish as we age and many diseases normally
associated with aging have been linked to glutathione deficiency."
Dr. Allan Somersall M.D
- "To raise glutathione levels is to
reduce premature oxidation, to quench destructive free radicals and help
detoxify the poisons inside each cell when it needs to. Only Immunocal
is clinically proven to do that in a safe, effective and convenient way."

An
Insider's Alarming Discoveries About Cancer and Genetic Damage - Dr. Carlo's
research led to the discovery that human blood cells could be damaged by
the radiation emitted from a cell phone. "What you won't see are
the microwaves that are criss-crossing a confined space where a number
of people who are not even using these instruments are bombarded by these
waves." There may be a link between cell phone use and brain tumors. In
1994, Dr. Salford, a Swedish research found significan leakage or breakdown
in he blood brain barrier due to the effects of microwaves. In 1996, Dr.
Om Gandhi, from the university of Utah, did a study and found that a five-year-old
child absorbs four times as much radiation 
as
an adult. In 1998, research by Drs. Ray Tice and Graham Hook showed that
following exposure to cell phone, there was a nearly 300 percent increase
in the incidence of genetic damage in blood cells.
