How to Detox Your Body of Depleted Uranium Residues, the Effects of Radiation, and Radioactive Contamination



It's sad but true that there are thousands of scientific references and medical studies out there on the fact that radiation and radioactivity can harm you, yet despite millions of dollars spent by the government to study radiation, virtually nothing is available about a detoxification diet or nutritional supplements you might use if you are exposed to radioactive contamination.

Here's some of the information we do know from the only book in the world on the topic. Keep this information in the back of your mind as it may one day help save you or someone you know.

Most people are aware taking potassium iodide (KI) or potassium iodate (KIO3) tablets will help block your thyroid gland from absorbing radioactive iodine should there ever be a dirty bomb explosion or nuclear power plant mishap such as the Three Mile Island incident. In 1999, another such accident happened in Tokaimura, Japan where several individuals died from radiation exposure in a fuel processing facility.

What people don't recognize is that potassium iodide or iodate tablets only protect the thyroid gland and do not provide protection from any other radiation exposure, so taking them should not give you a false sense of security. It's important to detox your body after radioactive exposure!

One question is, what do you do if KI or KIO3 tablets aren't available during an emergency? Interestingly enough, according to research by Ken Miller, health physicist at the Hershey Medical Center, he found that an adult could get a blocking dose of stable iodine by painting 8 ml of a 2 percent tincture of Iodine on the abdomen or forearm approximately 2 hours prior to I-131 contamination. Potassium iodine tablets are best, but if they're not available this is the next best thing.

An entirely different problem arises after you've been exposed to radioactive contamination because now you have to get rid of any radioactive particles you may have ingested through the air you breathed, water you drank, or food you ate. Some people suggest Epson salt, Clorox or clay baths to remove any residues on your skin and to leach out any heavy metals you may have absorbed, but the big worry is internal contamination. To gain some insights into what to do, we have to turn to the story of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki.

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.

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:

· Miso soup
· Spirulina, chlorella and the algaes (kelp, etc.)
· Brassica vegetables and high beta carotene vegetables
· Beans and lentils
· Potassium, calcium and mineral rich foods
· High nucleotide content foods to assist in cellular repair including spirulina, chlorella, algae, yeast, sardines, liver, anchovies and mackerel
· Cod liver oil and olive oil
· Avoid sugars and sweets and wheat
· A good multivitamin/multimineral supplement


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.

The immune system is usually hit hard after radiation exposure, and a number of steps can be taken to help prevent opportunistic infections after a radioactive incident. Though the full dimensions of the protective mechanism is still unknown, Siberian ginseng is one form of ginseng that exerts a definite radioprotective effect and has been demonstrated to lessen the side effects of radiation. It was widely distributed by the Soviet Union to those exposed Chernobyl radiation and is commonly used to help cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy.

Consuming Reishi mushrooms is another proven way to bolster your immune system after radiation exposure and helps reduce the damage from radiation. It's been used to decrease radiation sickness in animals and help them recover faster after potentially deadly exposure.

Panax ginseng has prevented hemorrhaging after radiation exposure, prevents bone marrow death and stimulates blood cell formation, so it's another supplement to add to one's protocol. In short, yeasts, beta glucans, bee pollen and various forms of ginseng have all been shown to bolster the immune system after radiation incidents. In terms of radiation burns, aloe vera has a proven ability to treat serious radiation burns and offers other radioprotective effects, and can easily be grown in your house.

The amino acid L-Glutamine can be used to help repair the intestine in case of the gastrointestinal syndrome usually suffered due to radiation exposure, and a variety of substances can help rebuild blood cells to prevent hematopoietic syndrome. Those particular foods include beet juice, liver extract, spleen extract, and shark alkyglycerols. Most oncologists don't know that shark liver oil, with alkyglycerols, can help platelet counts rebound in days.

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."

JUST WONDERING, IF THIS WOULD WORK FOR PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF, WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH " 25 RADIATION TREATMENT EXPOSURES" AFTER THE REMOVAL OF BREAST CANCEROUS MALIGNANT TUMOR?

MY FLESH HAD SEVERE BURNS, NEEDED TO BE TREATED; WON'T GO INTO DETAILS.

THE SURGERY BARELY HURT, BUT THE RADIATION TREATMENT STILL CAUSES ME PAIN 3 YEARS LATER!

SO GLAD I REFUSED CHEMO THERAPY, WHICH WAS "STRESSED" THAT I WOULDN'T BE HERE A YEAR LATER. THE CHEMO WOULD HAVE KILLED ME BACK IN 2003 FOR SURE, NO DOUBT ABOUT. TRUSTED GOD, AND I'M STILL HERE 3 YEARS LATER.

THANKS!
IN JESUS' LOVE,

"JUST WONDERING, IF THIS WOULD WORK FOR PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF, WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH " 25 RADIATION TREATMENT EXPOSURES"


To be precise, yes and no!

I believe the person who wrote the article and/or book was a Russian with "nuclear" experience secondary to Chernobyl. He was speaking specifically to people exposed to radiological fallout and "depleted" uranium which comes from our weapons systems since the late 1980s. In these scenarios the radiation becomes attached to dust and dirt particles (metals/minerals) in the air. These radioactive particles are inhaled or ingested into our body and remain there, continuing to give off radiation, causing harm to our tissues and sometimes those we are closest to. These people are "radioactive." Unlike most "medical radiation treatment," where a short burst of radiation is focused to destroy tissues, but those tissues do not become "radioactive" themselves. There are some medical treatments where radioactive pellets are actually placed within the tissues which would cause "radioactivity" to some degree/time.

His treatment of giving quantities of natural minerals (kelp) is simply supplying our body with enough non radioactive minerals so that the body will not use the same radioactive minerals from the "fallout". This is exactly what we do in the medical community with the potassium iodine to protect the thyroid. Using the algaes (you might want to add Cilantro to that list), helps remove (chelates) the heavy metals/minerals from the body which will also be removing the radioactivity with them.

Now, many of our modern-day medical problems can be linked to a deficiency of minerals which are easily asimulated into our tissues. His diet high in minerals can eliminate many of these medical problems. His treatments are not harmful as long as you are not allergic to iodine, etc.. A high mineral diet may cause problems, but not when you include the foods that also remove the "heavy metals." Most of us have some degree of toxic metal contamination. The best example would be mercury from our fillings, fish, deodorants and immunizations. This mercury and other metals impair our immune system. Therefore, this treatment would benefit your health status, but you probably do not have radiation in your treated breast that needs to be removed.

Now, your breast has experienced a tremendous amount of trauma and destruction. I have no idea what your specific cause of pain might be, because there are many possibilities. And the treatment, if any would be relative to the cause. It is very common for women who have gone through any portion of the "standard treatments" to have breast pain of unknown etiology (translation: the doctors do not know the cause.). There can also be pain or swelling in the adjacent arm and hand. How many lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels have been removed or destroyed? These are draining immune cells and toxins from the breast to be eliminated from your body. What portion of the pain is from scar tissue (from surgery and/or radiation), or is it adhesions (different tissue surfaces sticking together and no longer moving normally)? The older radiation treatments could cause rib fractures years later, along with lung and cardiac problems.


People parish, for lack of knowledge. There isn't a single "health-care provider", traditional or alternative, who can heal you. Only the Lord can accomplish that, and usually by one of two mechanisms. Rarely, this is done by a "miracle." And usually, by the mechanisms He established in man, when man was created. But we can help Him by providing the ingredients and environment for His "healing mechanisms" to work. To do this you must accomplish two things:

First; provide the ingredients for the healing and repair.

Second; remove all the debris and toxins from your body.

Rarely, will God or the doctor do those things for you. You must take responsibility for these actions, yourself.

Despite what "man" might say, the breast is a miraculous, fatty immune factory. Do you realize, that they have shown in studies, that if you place a bacteria or virus on a nipple, that within two hours the breast will have produced antibodies for that organism in the milk. When I first read that, I had a revelation. That's why infants put everything in the mouths and why men are fascinated with breasts. The organisms in the child's environment go on the child's hands and objects; the hands and objects go into the mouth which goes to the breast. Two hours later when the baby feeds, he receives antibodies against the organisms in his specific environment along with whatever antibodies mom has developed for herself. Then dad comes along and messes with mom's breasts allowing her to produce antibodies for everything good old dad has come into contact with that day. Amazing isn't it? I wonder if the body naturally sends the cancers to the breast were all this "immune activity" is centralized? Just wondering.

First of all, blood supplies and lymphatic drainage are difficult when the breasts are continually "tightly restrained." If your breasts are "lumpy", a very messy but effective treatment is known as the "castor oil pack." Many health food stores have the materials and instructions. But if you need them, I will write them down.

"Civilized" people today are extremely deficient in the omega-3 fatty acids and have an overabundance of the omega- 6 fatty acids. The ratio should be 1:1, but what we are receiving in our foods is the ratio of 1:15 - 20. In the 1950s they were successfully treating brain cancer in Germany with omega-3 fatty acids and protein found in foods such as cottage cheese. The brain happens to be made up of fat, proteins, sugar and water. Well, so is the breast. In the late 1990s they gave women 14 grams of omega-3 fatty acids a day, and discovered that the fat in the breast changed from the six to the omega-3, and it greatly reduced their risk of breast cancer. I have successfully treated many cases of arthritic and fascia (connective tissue) pain with the 14 grams of the omega-3 fatty acids also.

Now 14 grams is a lot (14 - 1000 mg capsules a day) of either the fish oils or flax seed oil. The easiest and most economical way is to grind the flax seed's yourself. (Just this alone, dropped my total cholesterol 40 points.). The seeds cost about $1 to $2 a pound in the health food or grocery store. Pickup an electric coffee grinder which will usually cost you (one time) $15 to $20. Grind freshly 3 1/2 to four tablespoons of the seeds each day. I put them in my "health drink," but some people sprinkle it on their cereal, or salad. This should be done with caution if you are on any type of "blood thinners". I prefer to place my patients first on the daily omega-3's, then adjust their "blood thinners" accordingly if needed. If you find that you are bruising easily, you need to decrease your dose.

Has your radiation caused anemia? "The life is in the blood." A miraculous treatment for anemia (if your bone marrow and liver are still functioning) is a product called Barleygreen (Green Magna may be substituted. It is Barleygreen with extra herbs.). Hemoglobin is the molecule in your red blood cells that collects the oxygen, and is one of the determinants of anemias. Chemically it is a prurine ring with an iron molecule in the middle which makes the blood red. Chlorophyll (the plants blood), is a prurine ring with magnesium in the middle which makes the chlorophyll green. (1/2 of the heart patients with low potassium are also low in magnesium). The doctors usually prescribe "rock" iron for anemia, usually with very poor results. People weren't designed to eat rocks. The plants were designed to eat rocks. The plants dissolves the "rock" iron and incorporates it into its carbohydrate which is easily asimulated by man. Our source of iron is red meats and dark green leafy vegetables (Barley grass). Barleygreen is concentrated and freeze-dried Barley grass, kelp, and rice which are considered one of the "Super Foods." One tablespoon of BarleyGreen is equal to 35 tablespoons of the fresh grass (which would you prefer?). The only thing that works quicker, is a blood transfusion with much greater risk. For many this is an "energy booster."

The white cells in the blood are the main tissues that fight the "invaders" of the body. A very simple way to increase your white cells during any infection, would be to induce a fever. This can be done with mild exercise, or better yet, a sauna or steam bath. For every 1 degrees Fahrenheit you raise your body temperature, you will increase your white cells four fold. Another beneficial treatment to stimulate the white blood cells which is mentioned in the above article are Glucans. Glucans appear to stimulate (irritate) the large white blood cells called macrophages into action. These cells are a primary defense system for our bodies, identifying abnormal conditions and activating the appropriate therapeutic response. They literally devour bacteria, foreign cells, dead and dying cells, mutated cells, cancerous cells, and other negative invaders. Beta glucan's stimulation of macrophage cells produces a cascade of immune events, boosting immune response, stimulating the production of immune cells and improving host resistance. (A trustworthy Christian source would be Seagate : http://www.seagateproducts.com/ ).

Your body removes its toxins by urine, stool, sweat/skin, and exhaled breath. One of the most important organs is your liver. It not only has to detoxify everything you ingest and encounter, it also has to detoxify and removes all of the dead cancer cells. It performs a tremendous amount of work and goes through a tremendous amount of abuse. It can become sluggish, and everything can "backup." Therefore the liver needs cleansing, and especially during any type of illness. I will give you a link to a couple of cleansing procedures which were common in hospitals many years ago. One was replaced because the doctors preferred to perform surgery, and the other was removed from the textbooks simply because of the jokes.
