Protecting Your Health from Radiation

Image by Creativity+ Timothy K Hamilton via FlickrLast night on our locals news, there was a report that radiation was found in milk in the Spokane, WA area.  Of course, they are saying it isn't much and it isn't anything to be concerned over.

Since the terrible devastating disasters that have happened in Japan, I raised my own personal awareness of radiation exposure since I reside on the West Coast.  I spoke about some wonderful natural therapies a few weeks ago on the radio show, and I wanted to take this opportunity today to share them with you in print.

A couple weeks ago everyone was out buying iodine and components of iodine to protect the thyroid from the unstable chemicals of radiation (iodine 131 in particular).  The best source of iodine to protect from this unstable iodine is actually green seaweeds.

Green kelp Nature's Way - Kelp, 660 mg, 180 capsules is a wonderful product along with Spirulina Pacifica 400 tabs, NOW Foods Chlorella 1000mg, 120 Tablets, and even brown seaweeds can be superior to the chemical iodine Lugol's Iodine Solution 2% form.

If you have added Vitamineral Green - 500 g - Powder or Pure Synergy - 354 , grams (12.5 oz), both of these products (especially the pure synergy) have more than enough of the protection you need for your thyroid with all forms of seaweed and mushroom powder Italian Products Dry Asiago Porcini Powder, 16-Ounce Unit.

Mushrooms are a natural detox agent and this is a great time to add them to your health regimen.

Other important factors with increased radiation exposure is your level of detoxification.  Now is the time to use those saunas, bath salts, keep your hydration levels up, and eat healthier.  Clearing your lymph will also help keep radiation exposure risk down as it allows your immune system to work at an optimal level.  My favorite lymph clear recipe is on this page.  The bath salts I make also help clear the lymph, so check those out as well and purchase them here.

I have my kids take the Vitamineral Green above or the Pure Synergy every morning mixed with grape or apple juice.  Lately they are on a grape juice kick!

With just a couple of adjustments to your diet, you can protect yourself and your family from increased radiation exposure risks.  I realize our government and media says there is no risk involved.  I'm just one person who doesn't believe everything I'm told.  We personally have taken the proper precautions and I know you will make the decision that is best for you and your family.

UPDATE:  After a little more research I've found two more products that can Really help protect us from radiation concerns!

Anti-inflammatory supplements such as Nopalea™ may help the body reduce the damage caused by radiation. Also, the extreme antioxidant power of Adaptogen 10 Plus® will donate millions of electrons to balance free radicals (Adaptogen 10 Plus is like a tire dealer with millions of wheels to donate to any imbalanced car). Adaptogen 10 Plus is a good remedy for daily radiation exposure.

Two other special nutrients are in Adaptogen 10 Plus: natural iodine and sodium alginate. Iodine does not stop radiation from getting inside your body, but it occupies many iodine receptors in your thyroid and other tissues. Iodine acts like customers in a restaurant: It "takes up all the seats" so radioactive iodine has no place to sit and smolder. The natural iodine in Adaptogen 10 Plus can fill many of the seats!

Sodium alginate is a seaweed fraction that attaches itself to radioactive particles that may contaminate your food. If a radiation particle falls on your food and you eat it, sodium alginate will grab that particle and surround it with a thick foam or mucous. Adaptogen 10 Plus contains several seaweed sources rich in sodium alginate.

Adaptogen 10 Plus contains healthy levels of potassium, which displaces radioactive cesium in much the same way that iodine protects against radioactive iodine. It also contains an abundance of natural calcium chloride which may work to displace radioactive strontium.
