Treatments For Nuclear Contamination
Treatments For Nuclear Contamination
It is too early to call everyone in North America to prepare for a radiation cloud streaming down
radioactive particles from the accident in Japan. According to the media and government, America is
not at risk due to radioactive fallout from the recent Japanese nuclear accidents in several reactors but
that could change in a heartbeat as authorities race to combat the threat of multiple nuclear reactor
meltdowns. Nuclear plant operators are working frantically to try to keep temperatures down in several
reactors crippled by the earthquake and tsunami, wrecking at least two by dumping sea water into them
in last-ditch efforts to avoid meltdowns.
Now, just hours after writing this above paragraph we get a report in the New York Times indicating
that even best case scenarios include radioactive releases of steam from the crippled plants could go on
for weeks, months or even years. So prepare we must. "Pentagon officials reported Sunday that
helicopters flying 60 miles from the plant picked up small amounts of radioactive particulates — still
being analyzed, but presumed to include Cesium-137 and Iodine-121 — suggesting widening
environmental contamination. More steam releases also mean that the plume headed across the Pacific
could continue to grow," printed the Times.
The incident is a reminder that preparedness should include being prepared for nuclear events with
foods and medicinals in our medical cabinets that will protect us and our families as much as humanly
and medically possible. Many people in Japan and elsewhere around the world that live and work close
to nuclear plants will be seriously affected by nuclear accidents. When a meltdown happens the effects
can be carried thousands of miles by the prevailing winds.
It is unclear how far the impact of a meltdown might reach. In the United States, local communities plan
for evacuation typically within 10 miles of a nuclear plant. However, states must be ready to cope with
contamination of food and water as far as 50 miles away. When it comes to risks and toxic exposure
levels we can count on the government and medical officials to understate the threat. This is something
consistent in their approach to all types of toxic exposures.
Besides having iodine on hand for emergencies, we can grow (and, at present, purchase) herbs and
foods that prevent our bodies from storing radioactive particles. Some of these foods and herbs even
remove radioactive particles from our bodies. As we are all already being affected by radiation released
by numerous sources, eating these foods and doing detoxification and chelation protocols regularly is a
good idea.
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.
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. The oral administration of sodium bicarbonate diminishes the severity of the
changes produced by uranium in the kidneys. 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. I
started writing about baking soda after discovering that the United States Army recommends the use of
bicarbonate 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,” writes Dr. Chris Shade. 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.
Please read my essay on Glutathione and Bicarbonate Nebulization. Nebulization is one of the best
ways to quickly increase glutathione levels as is the use of glutathione suppositories. The main cancer
risk from inhaled uranium oxide and other airborne radioactive particles would be 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 have not sponsored
this treatment.
Dr. Sarah Mayhill, speaking about uranium oxide says, “It 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 transdermally treats the lung tissues
allowing for best effect on contaminated lung tissues.
I have had the pleasure through the years to learn from some of the most intelligent doctors and
scientists about heavy metal chelation and the opening of detoxification pathways. The individual who
wins the Nobel Prize in the area of chelation, 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.
(For more information or ordering of Dr. Shade’s products I only have a phone: 1- 866-257-8168, talk
to Karen.)
Combining his formulas with HMD (Heavy Metal Detox) from Dr. George Georgiou, another medical
genius, gives us, in my opinion, the best possible medical formula to help remove radioactive
contamination as long as iodine, magnesium chloride, a super food spirulina-based formula like
Rejuvenate and edible clay are used as well. Rejuvenate is a powerful chlorophyll-rich formula that is
easy to administer in high quantities because of its exceptionally pleasant taste. The intense levels of
RNA in Rejuvenate will quickly help build up a person’s immune system and help them recover from
the RNA/DNA damage caused by radiation exposure.
It is interesting to see that uranium-238 is being eliminated in the hair using the HMD protocol; to date
there is no natural chelating agent known to mobilize and eliminate uranium-238 from body tissues.
HMD is the only chelation product that I have seen that has actually been tested and shown to be
effective for uranium toxicity.
HMD’s cilantro will move heavy metals and radioactive material out of the cells into the detoxification
pathways with Dr. Chris Shade’s IMD (Intestinal Metal Detox) pulling down hard on those pathways to
get the stuff out through the intestines. The internal consumption of edible clay and external clays
dramatically facilitate this process. 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.
Iodine
Iodine is the most obvious and important element in protecting against radiation damages. Radioactive
iodine will plunge in to 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, according
to Dr. David Brownstein, 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.
In as separate article are videos of an interview I did today with Dr. Brownstein and a lot of important
information about iodine supplementation as a vital defense against radiation contamination and
damage.
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 IV's made a huge clinical improvement.
He also adds 1 cc of bicarb to all Myers cocktail IV's, which he says is “a great addition.”
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. This is why I recommend Rejuvenate in high
doses because of its high spirulina and chlorella content and because it is like refined rocket fuel for the
cells providing them with a broad range of concentrated nutrients.
Tan Koon Peng from Singapore writes: “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 B therefore it is suitable for vegetarians who are in
shortage of vitamin B. For best results do not cook miso.”
Herbalist Brigitte Mars says, “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. 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 and barley
grass 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 combine with heavy metals and help prevent free radical damage,” says Mars.
Dr. Shade commenting on the above said, “In the last sentence Brigitte Mars, a local friend actually
mentions the broccoli family. A normal misconception is restated here - namely that the sulfur
compounds in the broccoli family bind the heavy metals. Actually 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 my favorite 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 pictured being held by the Medicine Buddha
and call the "King of Herbs". It has potent effects on the glutathione system and on expression of other
intracelluar antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase. Haritaki is one of the superpowers in Clear
Way. Clear Way also includes other polyphenolics such as Pine Bark extract, large amounts of liver
cleansing dandelion root extract, natural iodine and minerals from fucus extract (or what is known as
bladderwrack, a sea vegetable), the metal chelator and super antioxidant R-Lipoic acid, nerve protectors
gotu kola and bacopa monniera, and B-vitamins 1, 5, and 6.
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 often touted as a natural remedy for radiation-induced skin changes
preventing or minimizing radiation-induced skin reactions.
