With the growing concern of radiation the question is ‘How can we protect ourselves?’
Whether the danger is imminent or not, it’s clear that We Must Be Prepared.
Being PROACTIVE always pays off.
I will covers products that help prevent radiation damage to the body as well as products that help detoxify the body after it has been exposed to radiation. The links to those products that I know the sources of are given otherwise search the Internet by yourself or check your local health store.
This is a compilation of information from mine and several other different sources.
Homeopathic remedies for radiation sickness
The remedies below have been used before, during and after an atomic explosion. Some of these remedies are more difficult to find while some are common to most household kits. All of them are capable, so only one or two are needed. You can order the remedies from Hahnemann Labs or call 1-888-4-ARNICA
1. Cadmium sulph 30 or Potassium iodide (Kali Iodatum 30) taken once before and once after an atomic explosion. These are generally used before symptoms appear, but can be used after as well.
2. Cobaltum 30C has been known to remove side effects of radiation by taking it four times in one day for 2-3 days. Then an assessment is taken to determine if more is needed and how often. If needed from that point, it is generally used four times in one day every two weeks for 2-3 months. In the hands of a skilled homeopath, this remedy may be used in a 200C potency.
3. Radium bromatum 30C has been used when skin eruptions or arthritis appear. Generally, take it twice daily if mild, or up to 5 times per day if more severe. It has been used for as long as many weeks, but as always, under the watchful eye of a skilled homeopath.
4. Arsenicum album 30C in repeated doses every few minutes to half an hour, for approximately 1-2 days, then as needed depending on symptoms.
5. Phosphorus 30C, 200C, and 1M, one after the other in the same fashion as Arsenicum. Together these have a history of being a very useful 1st aid.
6. Calc fluor 12C and Natrum muriaticum 6C thrice daily for months after exposure. More frequently, if necessary. regardless of which other remedies are chosen from above, these two remedies have a way of helping the body eliminate toxins in tandem with the other remedies.
Other Supplements
Iodine supplements will prevent radiation from binding to your cells because the iodine will bind first – begin 2 days ahead of exposure if possible; vitamin C (the best Vitamin C is Vitality C as it can be taken in high doses without upsetting the stomach) & detoxifying clay are also recommended to detoxify from heavy metals.
When taking iodine supplements, it is important to also take the mineral selenium (100-200mcg/day).
Potassium iodide is what is needed to protect the thyroid from the damaging effects of radioactive iodine but have NO OTHER PROTECTIVE EFFECT – NONE! It cannot protect the body from radioactive elements other than radioactive iodine. If radioactive iodine is not present, taking potassium iodide is not protective.
There are potassium iodide products that are made specifically for radiation poisoning, which is why it is recommended to rely on such products and not to substitute with what could be far inferior products. One must use caution because the potassium iodide used for protection against radioactive iodine comes in an adult dosage of 130 mg (milligrams) tablets. Someone can mistakenly purchase a potassium iodide product off of a vitamin store shelf containing less than 200 mcg (micrograms), far less than what would be needed.
According to the USFDA guidelines, the following potassium iodide doses should be taken after likely internal contamination.
*Adults, including breastfeeding women: 130 mg
*Children between 3 and 18 years of age and less than 150 pounds: 65 mg
*Children 150 pounds or more: 130 mg (regardless of age)
*Infants and children between 1 month and 3 years old: 32 mg (whether nursing or not)
*Nursing and non-nursing newborns from birth to 1 month old: 16 mg.
TO COMBAT THE ACIDIC EFFECTS OF “IONIZING RADIATION,” YOU WILL NEED TO IMMEDIATELY START:
*Taking pHour Salts formula. which contains reducing agents of “ionizing radiation” or acids in the form of sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium bicarbonate.
*Drinking SuperGreens and eating liberal amounts of green fruit and vegetables.
*Taking antioxidant supplements. High level of antioxidant helps to fight the free radicals created by the radiation. You can check your antioxidant level and see how much antioxidant protection you have by being scanned (ask me for details). LifePak Nano and g3 products guarantee to increase your antioxidant level plus provide essential vitamins and minerals important for detoxification: zinc, selenium, calcium, magnesium, vitamin A, E, CoQ10
Drink plenty of pure electron-rich ionizing water made from the best Chanson Water Ionizers, or at least alkalize your water with Prime pH drops.
Bottom line – To protect yourself from “ionizing radiation” you must maintain the alkaline design of the body with an alkaline lifestyle and diet.
Protective Foods
Be proactive and start adding foods into your diet that are very high in iodine. Here’s a short list:
> Kelp (sea vegetable) – ¼ ounce, 415.00 mcg
> Sardines and mackerel, fish with the highest iodine concentrations have approximately 250 µg of iodine/100 g
> Strawberries – 1 cup, 12.96 mcg
> Seaweed is particularly rich in iodine: that is, concentrations are 100-1000 times higher than in fish. Kombu, a commonly consumed seaweed, contains approximately 130,000 µg of iodine/100 g
Other foods with small amounts iodine include Miso soup, brassica vegetables, beans and lentils. Cod liver oil and olive oil have vitamin A and D, both important for overall health .
Eat plenty of cruciferous alkalizing vegetables (cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, turnips, cabbage, spinach, cauliflower, and greens such as kale).
Eat organic (as much as possible) unprocessed foods. Avoid all sugar, all animal protein, all grains, all dairy products, all acidic drinks including coffee and tea.
Precautionary measures can help minimize exposure and ingestion of radioactive materials, including:
*Staying inside, keeping doors and windows closed and turning off air conditioners.
*If possible, cover garden vegetables and fruits ahead of time.
*If one must go outside, wear a face mask, change and wash clothes upon returning indoors and take showers.
*Once the fallout has passed, wear a mask and spray the entire property, including exposed vehicles, with a hose.
*Shower immediately after returning inside.
