Potassium iodide tablets - thyroid protection

Calcium - Blocks uptake of stronium-90

Iron - Blocks uptake of plutonium

Potassium - Reduces uptake of cesium-137

Zinc - reduces uptake of radioactive zinc-65

Vitamin B 12 - Supresses the uptake of cobalt-60

An interview with David Wolfe http://www.thebestdayever.com/news/podcast/podcast-63-dave-wolfe-on-radiation-protect ion/ his full post is here (continued from my first post)

quote:

---

looks like two or three of the reactors at Fukushima are in the process of melting down. In case you haven’t heard, reactor 1 literally blew up. I flew within several hundred miles of Tokyo last nite when we left Seoul, South Korea. It was all over Seoul TV. American television is covering it up, but that won't last for long. It is bad. Probably the worst disaster in history. And the fallout is heading beyond the greater Tokyo region and being pulled into the jet stream heading to the West Coast of America and Canada with Oregon and Northern California likely to get the worst of it.

I put this together (as a guide) for thebestdayever.com members and all my friends:

"In light of the meltdown of Fukushima: How to protect yourself and your thyroid against radiation: kelp, ginseng, ashwaganda (recently found to regrow nerves), chlorella, zeolites, fulvic acid, nascent iodine, reishi mushroom, sea salt (also salty miso), botanical (plant-derived) or lipo- vitamin C, magnesium (chlorophyll), selenium (brazil nuts), coconut butter (coconut products), Megahydrate, Crystal Energy. Spread the word."

Start small, but increase your dosages rapidly and dramatically if you live in Hawaii, Western Canada, and the Western USA. Start now. Fallout will descend upon North America sometime around March 22.

If you live in Japan, start taking massive doses of these foods, superfoods, superherbs, and supplements immediately. These are all safe for children.

Radioactive fallout lingers longest in medicinal mushrooms. If you live in North America, pick your mushrooms NOW. I wouldn’t recommend picking any medicinal mushrooms in the fallout zones (after the fallout begins) for several years, if not a decade depending on how bad the radiation is.

If you live in North America, stock up on food NOW because fresh food may be contaminated for several months after the fallout comes down from the jet stream into the fallout zones.

We all have to band together to stop nuclear power once and for all. All attention of all scientists should move to a total focus on free energy devices (solar, wind, implosion, etc.).

If you are taking potassium iodide check with your pharmacist or doctor for dosage.
I hear it is nearly sold out everywhere.

Natural News.com Store still can take orders but may take up to 10 days, and they didn't jack their price up

These "radiation pills" are being sold out everywhere. NukePills.com says they were completely sold out over the weekend. Pharmacies in California are receiving a stampede of phone calls from near-panicked residents there, reports Fox News: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/03/15/drug-stores-report-sudden-increase-potassium-iodide-sales/

I know of two sources where there is still inventory, see below...

Why you need to boost your iodine levels to protect against radiation
The important thing is to get iodine into your body in a safe supplement form. This does not have to be "potassium iodide." It can also be in the form of Nascent Iodine, which is a high-quality iodine supplement that has been available in the natural product marketplace for several years. (Do NOT drink topical antiseptic iodine products such as Betadine -- these products are not suitable for human consumption. They are povidone-iodine mixtures.)

Dr. Brownstein is one of the top experts on iodine. About radiation exposure, he explains: "If there is enough inorganic, non-radioactive iodine in our bodies, the radioactive fallout has nowhere to bind in our bodies. It will pass through us, leaving our bodies unharmed. It is important to ensure that we have adequate iodine levels BEFORE this fallout hits." (Source link below, from the IMVA website.)

What Dr. Brownstein is explaining is that you must get iodine in your body BEFORE being exposed to radiation. And most people are extremely deficient in iodine on a daily basis http://www.naturalnews.com/023107_iodine_thyroid_cancer.html

I've interviewed Dr. Brownstein about iodine and have recommended his website as well: http://www.drbrownstein.com

There, he talks about the relationship between iodine deficiency and many chronic degenerative diseases -- especially thyroid disorders which are often linked to obesity.

But for right now, people are mostly focused on using iodine to protect their bodies from possible radiation exposure, so keep reading...

Sources for Nascent Iodine
As luck would have it, we announced a sale on Nascent Iodine several days before the Japanese nuclear reactor catastrophe. As of right now, we still have several hundred bottles remaining in our store at: http://store.naturalnews.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=100370

A 3-pack of the product there is just under $62, which I believe is the lowest price on the 'net. You can check the link above, but these will be sold out very, very quickly due to world events and our incredible pricing. I'm sorry we don't have more available. We only have what we have, and after it's sold out, the entire supply line is probably wiped out so we won't be able to get more for a while. (This is a good reminder to all of us of the importance of preparing IN ADVANCE of such events, which means being prepared all day, every day.)

You may be able to find more inventory available at these sources:

IntegratedHealth.com has Nascent Iodine in the same 3 pack for around $99. They're a great company that we recommend on a regular basis: http://www.integratedhealth.com/

They also sell their Rejuvenate product which contains chlorella -- another great superfood for protection against radiation. Chlorella has been used after nuclear accidents and even nuclear bombings to help clear radioactive elements out of the body.

Dr. Mark Sircus is an excellent source of information about iodine, magnesium and other minerals. Over at the IMVA website, he has a book on iodine that I highly recommend: http://iodine.imva.info/

Dr. Sircus also recommends this source: http://www.magneticclay.com/store/nascent-iodine-supplement-1.aspx

It's another trusted company that may have supply remaining. I do not know the price there.

In addition to those sources, you MAY still be able to find regular potassium iodide from www.Vitacost.com or www.VitaminLife.com or other trusted vitamin retailers. Whole Foods stores may also carry some products, although they will probably be sold out by the time you read this.

Learn more about iodine and radiation poisoning
Dr. Mark Sircus recently posted an excellent article on using iodine for radiation exposure. Read it at the IMVA website: http://blog.imva.info/medicine/iodine-treatments-radiation-exposure

Read more articles by Dr. Sircus at NaturalNews: http://www.naturalnews.com/Author_Mark_Sircus_Ac_OMD.html

I also anticipate publishing more of Dr. Sircus' articles here on NaturalNews as quickly as we can manage.

As prophesized and actualized, we are in a period of earth changes as demonstrated by the major 8.9 quake that shook Japan, with all its potential radioactive consequences that may effect the whole world. These radioactive dangers include not only radioactive I-131, cesium 137, and potassium 40-42, but also the potential of one of the reactors being a plutonium run. This would be far more dangerous than I-131 and cesium 137. A full plutonium reactor meltdown could kill a significant amount of the Japanese population. Unfortunately it is not clear if plutonium is being used in one of the reactors, and what is happening in general with the nuclear reactors there.

The following disturbing facts about the health dangers posed by higher radiation levels have been gleaned from the international news:

“Chief cabinet minister Yukio Edano said radiation levels near the stricken plant on the northeast coast reached as high as 400 millisieverts (mSv) an hour, thousands of times higher than readings before the blast. That would be 20 times the current yearly level for some nuclear-industry employees and uranium miners. Exposure to 350 mSv was the criterion for relocating people after the Chernobyl accident, according to the World Nuclear Association. People are exposed to natural radiation of about 2 mSv a year. Exposure to 100 mSv a year is the lowest level at which any increase in cancer is clearly evident. A cumulative 1,000 mSv would probably cause a fatal cancer many years later in five out of every 100 persons exposed to it.”

To help you understand the severity of the situation, in the struggle to stop plutonium satellites from being launched from Cape Canaveral, evidence was released to show that an accidental satellite explosion could kill the entire population of Florida. These are, of course, serious consequences that leave us with the question of what to do.

On the physical plane, we know that significant protection against these deadly radiation energies occurs through competitive inhibition. In other words, if the body is taking in natural wholesome elements from certain foods, it will not have space to take in the radioactive elements. The various elements compete at the receptor cites, and healthy food wins every time.

To protect yourself from I-131 poisoning, take 5 kelp tablets daily. The body will absorb the kelp instead of the I-131. Taking 50-100 mg of Idoral daily is more expensive and also more effective.

To protect yourself from cesium poisoning, consume plenty of high potassium foods, as potassium competitively inhibits cesium uptake. Foods high in potassium include avocados, sea vegetables, and leafy green vegetables. I don’t necessarily recommend taking a potassium supplement. These foods should provide all you need to block cesium 137 uptake.

To protect yourself from plutonium poisoning, eat lots of dulse and consume iron from plant sources, namely sea algaes such as spirulina, E3Live, and chlorella, which provide more iron than red meat. Miso soup has also been shown to have a protective effect. NCD, at 10 drops 4 times daily, is excellent for taking almost all radioactive materials out of the body.

Additionally, foods and supplements high in antioxidants, will also help the body cope with these higher toxic levels as radioactive materials cause anti-oxidant depletion and ill health. I recommend taking the products Mega Hydrate and Anti-Oxidant Extreme for maximum antioxidant support. Eating alkalizing food is also good.

Eating low on the food chain is a basic essential principle as well. What we learned from the Chernobyl incident in 1986 was that there was a 900% increase in peri-natal mortality in the Boston area. It was found that the cows’ milk (including grass-fed cows’ milk) contained concentrated radioactive I-131, and the expectant or nursing mothers drinking the cows’ milk inadvertently poisoned their babies. The radioactive pollutions in the environment, such as depleted uranium, become more concentrated higher on the food chain. Dioxin in the environment is found concentrated in Ben and Jerry’s ice cream at 200 times a safe exposure level. This is one reason why a live-food, plant-source diet, eating low on the food chain, is the safest and best diet at this point in history and the foreseeable future.

A small point on the level of risk benefit, if you happened to live on the West Coast, all the way to Vancouver, where the peri-natal rate was increased by approximately 50% and in the Boston area by 900%, it would not have been wise to eat animal and dairy products locally. We may have to look at locavore ideologies as secondary to the bigger health issues, as eating locally only yields 11% less CO2 compared with procuring products from around the globe.

For more information on how food can mitigate the effects of radioactive toxins, read chapter 29, “How Diet Can Protect You from the Dangers of Radioactive Radiation” in my book Conscious Eating (North Atlantic Books, 2000).

Additionally, it is helpful to understand that the energies behind these earth changes are “wake-up calls” from God to change our adharmic lifestyles. I urge you to consider these prophetic unfoldings and examine your lives. Make changes that help you to move away from the Culture of Death and into the Culture of Life and Liberation. This includes careful consideration of everything from diet to doing service and charity, and no longer living according to the “relative morality” that has become the world’s standard. It might be useful to return to the basic moralities and ethics shared between all the world’s spiritual scriptures.

Blessings to the evolution of your Whole Person Enlightenment.

Contrary to popular belief, the most serious threat of radiation exposure is not the big nuclear blast of ionizing radiation which occurs with a nuclear explosion. LOW LEVEL RADIATION OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME CAUSES THE MOST RADIATION DAMAGE TO THE CELLULAR STRUCTURES." (continued below) - from Cousens' book Conscious Eating

"This low level radiation comes from small amounts of chronic radiation exposures that arise from eating the airborne radioactive particles that have fallen on food, or from the water and soil radiation incorporated in the cellular structure inside of the food. The end result of low-level radiation over a long period of time is the production of a great deal of free radicals. This free radical production causes lethal radiation sickness and contributes to high rates of cancer."

‎"A free radical is created when one molecule which possesses a highly reactive electron 'robs' electrons from other atoms. Free radicals can be thought of as molecules that are out of electron balance. The way they re-balance themselves is to steal a molecule from another molecule which subsequently unbalances the next molecule in a chain reaction type fashion....Free radicals...can cause cells to die."

"DR. PETKAU FOUND THE FREE RADICAL EFFECT FROM CHRONIC LOW LEVEL RADIATION EXPOSURE WAS ONE THOUSAND TIMES GREATER THAN FROM A SINGLE LARGE EXPOSURE.

‎"Radiation is far more toxic than chemicals or pesticides." It goes on to explain that one of the problems with radioactive isotopes is that they stay around for a LONG time. For instance. Strontium-90 has a radioactive lifetime of 560 years, plutonium-239 has a full radioactive life of 500,000 years, cesium-137 has a radioactive lifetime of 600 years and I-131 is radioactive for 160 days.

I-131 is Iodine-131 -- radioactive iodine. It is also absorbed in utero through the milk of the mother. "September 1987 impressively conveys the seriousness of the radiation problem. The infant mortality rate following the arrival of the Chernobyl fallout in early May of 1986 showed a 54% increase in June 1986 in the Pacific region of the United States. Washington State had the highest rate in the region with a 245% increase in deaths per thousand live births."

On the positive side , there is a lot we can do to minimize the negative effects of radiation. In addition to the general prescription to live as healthful a lifestyle as possible, there is a specific radiation protection diet that maximizes the preservation of health and specifically neutralizes the effects of radiation."

But first, a reminder: "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN AVERAGE OR SAFE DOSE OF RADIATION

Those most susceptible are fetuses, infants, young people and the elderly. The younger have weaker immune systems and the elderly have already accumulated toxins over a lifetime.

It has been reported by a chief radiologist at Johns Hopkins that "one milligram of iodine for children and five milligrams for adults per day would reduce the amount of radioactive iodine accumulated in the thyroid by 80%."

The above is the equivalent of 5-10 tablets of kelp per day or one to two teaspoons of kelp granules. (David Avocado Wolfe recommends 1 TBL/day of kelp for adults which is equivalent to 3 teaspoons.)

Those are amount for people who have been exposed and know they have been. Preventative amounts could be smaller, such as one half ounce of dulse or other sea vegetable per day. Other high-iodine foods would be non-irradiated and organic swiss chard, turnip greens, wild garlic and onions, watercress, squash, mustard greens, spinach, asparagus, kale, citrus, watermelon and pineapple. However these foods are lower in iodine in the Pacific NW and Great Lakes area due to depleted soil.

Be aware that TOO MUCH iodine is something you don't want either, because it can overstimulate the thyroid.

"An additional approach to radiation exposure is to avoid eating foods high on the food chain (animal foods) which dramatically concentrate these radioactive minerals."

THAT IS NOT TRUE.

I recall talking about potassium idiode, supplements and foods that contain it, as you can see, and other nutrients!

I also recall the surgeon general saying the same thing.

Some people in LL don't even read what you write as they are more interested in making fun of you.

I put a lot of effort into posting important things (what is important in my opinion) and I just want to mention that I do my research first and going to many sources for the same information.

Detoxify or Die: Natural Radiation Protection Therapies for Coping With the Fallout of the Fukushima Nuclear Meltdown.

“Many people suffer from continuing chronic low-dose radiation 23 years after the catastrophe, owing primarily to consumption of radioactively contaminated food. An important consideration is the fact that given an identical diet, a child’s radiation exposure is three- to fivefold higher than that of an adult. Since more than 90% of the radiation burden nowadays is due to Caesium-137, which has a half-life of about 30 years, contaminated areas will continue to be dangerously radioactive for roughly the next three centuries.
