URGENT PRACTICAL ADVICE ABOUT RADIATION PROTECTION
Dear Friends of HealthyWorldStore.com:
Below is the best article with the most practical natural ways to
protect yourself and your loved ones from radiation exposures that are
expected to begin soon on the mainland US and Hawaii. I do not know who
the hero is who wrote it, but it was forwarded to me, and now from me to
you.
Hoarding of potassium iodide supplements are expected to continue, and
we have very few bottles of Brown Seaweed Extract [1] left in stock. We
expect to have a couple hundred more in stock next week, so get it while
you can. Expect a run on miso soup in health food stores, and baking
soda in supermarkets, as well.
Our store is currently well-stocked with ZeoLife [2] containing
natural iodine, but we expect to sell out of this product soon too,
after this mailing in fact, because, as you read below, not only is a
natural iodine supplement recommended daily during exposure periods, but
zeolite is probably the best natural detoxification material along with
edible clay.
We are normally well-stocked with edible (Prophyllite) clay [3], but
expect these supplies to disappear quickly too, and will try our best to
reorder depending on your need and demand.
Green Harvest [4]is highly recommended now too, as you will read
about the need for excellent organic green nutrients available in this
product. I have been using this product daily for years.
For the recommended extra vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and
antioxidants, PrimoLife [5] would be an excellent single-product choice.
Right now we are working feverishly on manufacturing two new products
to help attenuate ionizing radiation risks, and will let you know when
these products become available.
We ask for everyone to pray for humanity, all life forms, and Mother
Earth.
In 1998, I ended the book Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse
[6] stating that THE ONLY RELIABLE PROTECTION AGAINST RADIATION IS YOUR
CONNECTION TO GOD. I pray that you received this message early enough to
secure this sustaining relationship.
With much LOVE in 528,

HOW TO PROTECT AGAINST RADIATION EXPOSURE
The unfolding events relating to Japan's damaged nuclear reactors is
raising the concern in the U.S. of a worst-case scenario of multiple
meltdowns with a consequent cloud of radioactive particles following the
jet stream over to the U.S. The prevailing jet stream winds will impact
Los Angeles to Alaska, and will include Hawaii. Radioactive pollution
will reach the U.S. within 36 hours. It will then travel the typical jet
stream across the U.S. that you see on your daily weather programs.
A coordinated cover-up of the severity of the situation is underway.
This sort of behavior is typical of governments, especially when they
are interested in protecting their power base and protecting the
interests of transnational corporations.
Japanese health authorities are passing out iodine tablets to those in
the vicinity of these reactors -- as it is common knowledge that the
thyroid gland is a weak spot when it comes to radiation exposure. By
flooding the body with iodine it is taken up by the thyroid which then
blocks radiation uptake into the thyroid, reducing the risk for future
thyroid cancer (which is already an epidemic form of cancer in the U.S.
in part likely due to excess CT scans).
Such iodine saturation should occur 24 hours prior to exposure and be
maintained during the duration of excess exposure. This solution is not
without risks, especially when potassium iodide is used. That is because
excess iodine can clog thyroid function, inducing either hypo or hyper
thyroid. However, that risk is trivial compared to acute radiation
exposure -- thus iodine makes sense. We like water-soluble iodine that
in our experience is much less problematic when higher doses are used.
Liquids can be applied transdermally, directly over the neck region or
taken orally, and reapplied as desired based on concerns.
Protecting the thyroid with iodine seems to be about all public health
officials are willing to recommend to the public. However, there are
other important steps every person should consider. Radiation
interaction within your body generates massive amounts of damaging free
radicals, in turn potentially inducing DNA damage that may lead to
future cancer -- often manifesting a decade or two later. This means it
is a good idea to maximize your overall antioxidant defenses. Ideally,
this system of defense should be bolstered in advance to provide maximal
defense. Unfortunately the antioxidant defense systems of a majority of
Americans are in shoddy condition.
Many nutrients contain antioxidants and many of these behave in your
vital antioxidant network to protect your DNA from damage. In your diet
these nutrients come from fruits, vegetables, whey protein, and whole
grains. Additionally, almost any nutrient supplement with antioxidant
properties, such as vitamin C, will help bolster your antioxidant team.
We suggest that everyone consume a broad spectrum of antioxidant support
as the minimum. Indeed, a cocktail of antioxidants (selenium, vitamin C,
N-acetyl cysteine, alpha-lipoic acid, alpha-tocopherol succinate, and
co-enzyme Q10) started 24 hours after a lethal level of radiation
exposure has been shown to be highly protective.
There are three specific nutrients that have science showing they can
protect your body against radiation damage: tocotrienols, antioxidants
from berries, and lipoic acid.
Tocotrienols are a unique form of vitamin E that offers protection
that regular vitamin E does not. In a recent animal experiment carried
out by the U.S. Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute it was
shown that gamma tocotrienol can protect against whole body radiation
exposure.
Excessive radiation exposure damages DNA, especially DNA relating to
the system in our bone marrow that produces all the red and white blood
cells that are vital for survival. Therefore radiation exposure has
adverse consequences on circulatory health and immune system competence,
disturbing energy balance and increasing the risk for cancer. Of
particular importance are the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that
constantly rejuvenate blood and can become any of the white or red blood
cells, as well as the hematopoietic progenator cells (HPCs) that
transform into specific blood cells. Both HSCs and HPCs are the life
force of blood cell rejuvenation and essential to your good health.
Stem cell colonies (HSCs) are 80% - 86% maintained in gamma
tocotrienol-treated mice, while they were 50% reduced in controls.
Similarly, progenator cells (HPCs) have recovered completely within 7
days in gamma tocotrienol treated mice, while they remained at 30% for
weeks in the controls.
A detailed analysis of the bone marrow showed that gamma tocotrienol
maintained the regenerative integrity of bone marrow cells. Gamma
tocotrienol protects hematopoietic tissue by preserving the HSCs and
HPCs and by preventing persistent DNA damage.
Another recent animal study shows that gamma tocotrienol can offset
the adverse effects of radiation exposure, including the reduction of
peroxynitrite, the most damaging free radical. This is important because
as free radicals begin forming their reactions can cascade into
producing large amounts of the most damaging of all free radicals,
peroxynitrite. Short-circuiting peroxynitrite formation in response to
radiation exposure is of immense importance to protecting DNA.
Lipoic acid is a very small and versatile fat- and water-soluble
antioxidant. Animal studies show that it helps maintain the antioxidant
defense system in multiple body tissues upon radiation exposure,
especially protecting the brain, liver, spleen, kidney, and testes.
The health status of some 6,000 workers from Latvia who went to
clean-up the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant has been followed for several
decades. These workers suffered higher-than-normal rates of problems in
their nervous, digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine system
(especially thyroid) and immunological systems. A study conducted on
some of these workers 10 years after the fact showed that 600 mg of
lipoic acid for two months was able to normalize many, but not all, of
their lab abnormalities. Too bad they didn't have protection prior to
and during exposure. Pretreatment with lipoic acid has been shown to
significantly reduce radiation exposure damage to the brain.
Recent animal research conducted by the United States Department of
Agriculture showed that blueberry and strawberry extracts helped prevent
brain damage from radiation exposure. Interestingly, the polyphenols of
each fruit protected different areas of the brain -- supporting a
variety of dietary berry intake and/or supplements with multiple
berries. Having an adequate antioxidant defense system for more optimal
health is common sense. During times of increased stress your needs for
antioxidants rise -- and this relates to any type of stress. Radiation
exposure is simply one more type of stress -- a rather nasty type. The
demands in your life or existing health concerns may already be testing
your antioxidant bank account. Bolstering your antioxidant defense
system to compensate for a potential challenge is common sense.
If you have been exposed to too many X-rays or CAT scans, if you fly
too much, work with diagnostic medical equipment or are environmentally
sensitive and have ingested elevated levels of radioactive contaminated
food, air or water, you also want to partake of the following protocol
on a regular basis
Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)
The oral administration of sodium bicarbonate diminishes the severity
of the changes produced by uranium in the kidneys. 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. 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. The United States Army recommends the use of
bicarbona te to protect the kidneys from radiation damage.
Sodium bicarbonate can safely remove paint, grease, oil and smoke
residue, decreasing workers' exposure to harsh chemicals and eliminating
much of the hazardous waste associated with other cleaners. "Sodium
bicarbonate is able to clean in areas where other substances pose fire
hazards, because baking soda is a natural fire extinguisher," says
Kenneth Colbert, a general manager for Arm & Hammer. This is the reason
it's used by oncology centers to control chemo agent spills and it's
actually used intravenously to protect patients from the hazardous
toxicity of chemotherapy.
Uranium is one of the only metals that get significant bonding from
carbonate. Just flushing a lot of bicarbonate through the system, along
with whatever kidney support you are going to use, will be very helpful.
There is no better therapy for radiation sickness then intense sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda) and magnesium baths with the appropriate clay
added in. Even sodium thiosulfate can be added to these baths and that
instantly neutralizes any chlorine in the bath water while
simultaneously providing sulfur for the vital sulfur pathways.
Bicarbonate and Nuclear Fallout
If the bombs start dropping anywhere on earth, or if you live near a
nuclear plant, you will want to have a large amount of sodium
bicarbonate on hand. Minimum stocks should be 25 or 50 pounds. Normally
we recommend someone start with using one pound of bicarbonate in a bath
but that could easily be two or three pounds in an emergency situation.
You will also need a lot of magnesium salts and the very best and most
penetrating of them is the magnesium chloride in the form of magnesium
bath flakes. Dead Sea salt is also fine for this application because it
is high in magnesium.
Exposure to radiation causes a cascade of free radicals that wreak
havoc on the body. Radiation decimates the body's supply of glutathione.
Nebulization is one of the best ways to quickly increase glutathione
levels as is the use of glutathione rectal suppositories. The main
cancer risk from inhaled uranium oxide and other airborne radioactive
particles is from tiny insoluble particles lodged deep in the lungs.
That's a good reason to nebulize both glutathione and bicarbonate
directly into the lungs and one must wonder why governments and health
officials haven't sponsored this.
Uranium oxide can be inhaled by soldiers and civilians, it sticks to
the lining of the lungs, it is taken up by cells of the immune systems
and gets into lymph glands, bone, brain, hormone producing glands,
ovaries and testes. It stays in these organs for many decades and is
only very slowly excreted in urine. Nebulization topically treats the
lung tissues allowing for best effect on contaminated lung tissues.
The scientist with the greatest genius, especially when it comes to
mercury chelation, is Dr. Chris Shade. He has developed a sophisticated
detoxification system based on enhancing the natural removal of metals
through the intestines. Though his specialty is mercury, detoxification
and chelation of radioactive poisons use the same pathways as mercury.
He has developed three products that are effective for the removal of
mercury including a liposome formula that allows us to get glutathione
into the system via oral administration.
Combining his formulas with chlorella powder gives the best possible
medical formula to help remove radioactive contamination as long as
iodine, magnesium chloride, a super-food, spirulina-based powerful
chlorophyll-rich formula that is easy to administer in high quantities
because of its exceptionally pleasant taste, and edible clay are used as
well. The intense levels of will quickly help build up a person's immune
system and help them recover from the RNA/DNA damage caused by radiation
exposure.
Uranium-238 is being eliminated in the hair using heavy metal detox
protocols; to date there is no natural chelating agent known to mobilize
and eliminate uranium-238 from body tissues.
Cilantro will move heavy metals and radioactive material out of the
brain cells into the detoxification pathways with rectal suppositories
of Detoxamin working on the liver's glutathione pathway to get the
material out through the intestines. The internal consumption of edible
clay and external clays dramatically facilitate this process. Zeolite
clay baths are a very effective way of removing heavy metals from the
body and increase one's chances of survival if exposed to nuclear
fallout. Also activated charcoal powder in water will bind these toxins
and pass them out of the body.
Iodine
Iodine is the most obvious and important element in protecting against
radiation damages. Radioactive iodine will plunge into any and all
iodine receptor cites that have no iodine in them due to iodine
deficiencies. This is a serious problem because over 90 percent of
people in North America are iodine deficient. This leaves them
incredibly vulnerable to radioactive iodine, which is one of the
principle forms of radiation given off in nuclear accidents and from
nuclear weapons.
Intravenous Cocktails
In cases of serious exposure, IV cocktails with high dosages of
vitamin C, magnesium chloride or sulfate, sodium bicarbonate and very
pure seawater full of all the minerals necessary for life would be
ideal. Dr. David Brownstein administers a slow IV vitamin C
drip--usually 25-50 gm, with minerals, and he adds 10cc of sodium
bicarbonate.
The addition of bicarb to the IVs made a huge clinical improvement.
Nutrients to the Rescue
Spirulina and chlorella have been used heavily by the Russians after
the Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster. And the Japanese love their miso
soup and that was said to help some of their citizens survive the
fallout after the Americans attacked two of their cities. We recommend a
green powder in high doses that is high spirulina and chlorella content
because it is like rocket fuel for the cells, providing them with a
broad range of concentrated nutrients.
Miso is effective for detoxifying your body of radiation. During World
War II, two hospitals that were located side by side were hit with
atomic radiation, in one hospital people consumed Miso and all of them
survived while many people in the other hospital that did not take miso
died. Miso is rich in vitamin B12 therefore it is suitable for
vegetarians who are in shortage of vitamin B12. For best results do not
cook miso.
There are a number of foods that can better help our bodies tolerate
the effects of pollution. Eating lower on the food chain minimizes our
chemical intake. Consuming more whole grains has a multitude of
benefits, unless you are intolerant to certain grains. Their high fiber
content binds with toxins and lessens intestinal transit time. Their
vitamin B6 content nourishes the thymus gland and their vitamin E
content helps the body to better utilize oxygen. The grain buckwheat is
high in rutin and helps to protect against radiation and stimulates new
bone marrow production. The mucilaginous fiber in seaweed helps to
prevent the reabsorbing of radioactive strontium 90.
Following the bombing of Nagasaki, a group of surviving macrobiotic
doctors and their patients avoided radiation sickness by eating brown
rice, miso and seaweed. They also did not get leukemia. Seaweeds also
help to break down fatty deposits. High-chlorophyll foods like
wheatgrass, barley grass, kale, collard greens, beet greens, swiss
chard, etc. strengthen cells, transport oxygen, help to detoxify the
blood and liver as well as help to neutralize polluting elements and
stimulate RNA production. Sulfur-rich vegetables like broccoli, cabbage
and mustard greens, as well as garlic, combine with heavy metals and
help prevent free radical damage.
The sulfur compounds trigger increased expression of your glutathione
system, which results in both metal detoxification and free radical
neutralization. The other group of food compounds that do this is the
polyphenolic antioxidants -- pine bark extract, green tea extract, grape
seed extract, and Haritaki or terminalia chebula, an Ayurvedic fruit
that is the basis for many medicines including the intestinal detoxifier
Triphala. This fruit is used extensively in Tibetan Medicine where it is
called the "King of Herbs." It has potent effects on the glutathione
system and on expression of other intracellular antioxidants such as
superoxide dismutase (SOD).
Research on animals indicates that curcumin (an antioxidant and
anti-inflammatory compound found in the curry spice turmeric) may help
protect against radiation-induced damage to the skin. Other research in
animals shows that the herb ginkgo biloba may help shield against organ
damage resulting from radiation therapy. And aloe vera is a natural
remedy for radiation-induced skin changes preventing or minimizing
radiation-induced skin reactions.
