Protection from Radiation Exposure
. Article: Protection from Radiation Exposure - by Perry A~

Have you ever walked into your local Dairy Queen and ordered a radioactive
banana split? Or possibly more likely, have you ever booked an airline flight
and asked for your personal 2 REM dose of radiation? Right now, everyone on
earth is bathed in a soup of radioactive energy. There has never before been a
time when it was more important to cleanse our bodies of ever present
radiation: alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, muons, neutrinos. The
list is long and puzzling, and most of it has nothing to do with human
activities.
Living Clay, Natures Own Miracle Cure is the definitive guide for using and
understanding the multiple benefits of Calcium Bentonite Clay. This natural
mineral will do more than any other substance (natural or pharmaceutical) to
remove radioactive isotopes from our bodies and to assist our bodies in
returning to a state of good health. However, all clays are not alike. It is
important to know your clays and to find a pure clay. Go to
www.AboutClay.com to read the article, Criteria for Selecting a Quality Healing
Clay.
No matter what we do, no matter how health conscious weve become, no
matter what precautions are taken, our bodies are radiated daily. It is crucially
important to counter this bombardment, to remove this radiation and the
resultant damage from our bodies on a daily basis. There is nothing better for
this purpose than using a quality living clay on a daily basis. So, just what is it
you need to protect yourself from?
In the past 30 years we have had 3 major radioactive incidents Chernobyl,
Three Mile Island, and continuing releases in the Marshall Islands. Most of the
clean-up at Chernobyl was accomplished with Bentonite Clay. The Marshall
Islands have been repeatedly dusted with Calcium Bentonite Clay, but the
level of radiation continually seeping from below ground has yet to be
completely and permanently contained. The Marshall Islands have received the
equivalent of 80 atomic bombs the size of the one dropped on Hiroshima.

So, it would seem that the powers-that-be would want everyone to have their
own supply of Calcium Bentonite Clay, since thats what they use for their own
messesnot so. Either they have not connected the dots, or they are
stockpiling the clay for their own mess ups.
The incident at Three Mile Island was a wakeup call for most adults in the
US. Simply put, a nuclear reactor near Harrisburg, PA, overheated causing a
core reactor to literally melt down. It became so hot with radioactivity it
literally melted through six feet of solid concrete and steel housing. In doing
so, it released radioactive gasses and mist into the air. Not surprisingly, wide
scale panic ensued.
Its important to know the truth about radiation so that correct decisions can
be made. Its equally important to know what beliefs are realistic and which are
not.
Radiation is energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, sometimes referred
to generically as radio waves. Some radiation is quite harmless and passes
through our bodies on a 24 hour a day basis (e.g., radio and TV wave
frequencies). Higher spectrum, faster moving, wave frequencies can harm at a
cellular level (e.g., x-rays or radioactive metals such as plutonium or
uranium).
Then, there is Ionizing Radiation. Ionization is the ejection of one or more
electrons from an atom or molecule to produce a fragment with a new positive
charge (positive ion). The classification of radiation as ionizing is essentially a
statement that it has enough quantum energy to eject an electron. This is a
crucial distinction, since ionizing radiation can produce a number of
physiological effects, such as those associated with risk of mutation or cancer,
which non-ionizing radiation cannot directly produce at any intensity.
The unit of measurement used to measure radiation dosage is the rem, which
stands for roentgen equivalent in man. It represents the amount of radiation
needed to produce a particular amount of damage to living tissue. The total
dose of rems determines how much harm a person suffers. At Hiroshima and
Nagasaki, people received a dose of rems at the instant of the explosions, then
more from the surroundings and, in limited areas, from fallout. Fallout is
composed of radioactive particles that are carried into the upper atmosphere
by a nuclear explosion or meltdown and that eventually fall back to the earths
surface.

Although a dose of just 25 rems causes some detectable changes in blood,
doses to near 100 rems usually have no immediate harmful effects. Doses
above 100 rems cause the first signs of radiation sickness including:
Nausea
Vomiting
Headache
Some loss of white blood cells
Doses of 300 rems or more cause temporary hair loss, as well as more
significant internal harm, including damage to nerve cells and the cells that line
the digestive tract. Severe loss of white blood cells, which are the bodys main
defense against infection, makes radiation victims highly vulnerable to disease.
Radiation also reduces production of blood platelets, which aid blood clotting,
so victims of radiation sickness are also vulnerable to hemorrhaging.
Half of all people exposed to 450 rems die, and doses of 800 rems or more are
always fatal. Besides the symptoms mentioned above, these people also suffer
from fever and diarrhea. As of yet, there is no effective treatment for radiation
exposures over 800 rems, and death occurs in 1-4 days.
Uranium 235 Isotope (commonly referred to as U235) is a highly charged,
positive ion metal found naturally on our planet. Natural uranium mined from
the ground is 0.7% pure radiation. Weapons grade U235 has been enriched to
90%+ pure positive ionic radiation. Thats one purpose of nuclear reactors
enrichment. Weapons grade U235 is used in nuclear warheads.
A second type of U235 is known as waste. U235 is the garbage left over from
the enrichment process. Nuclear waste is commonly 3-5% pure radiation.
Some nuclear medical wastes fall into this category as well. A weapons grade
U235 warhead containing 90%+ enriched radiation will deliver doses of 1,000+
rems of energy over a several mile radius. At this level, all exposed living
things will be killed.
The government, in its report titled Department of Homeland Security Report
on Radiological Dispersal Device (RDD) Preparedness: Medical Preparedness
and First Responders Sub-Group states that once first responders reach the
site, it will take 2-24 hours to test for presence of all 6 sub-group types of
typical radioactive materials. All you need to know is that a 10 minute delay is
much too long.
There are 3 types of appropriate responses to such a blast. The first would be
for someone in the fallout area. The second would be for those at, or very
near, the blast site who have direct contamination. And the third category
would be those outside the potential fallout area and away from any
contamination.
For those in the first category (within the potential fallout area), like what
might be possible with the Japan catastrophe of March 2011, take the following
steps:
1. If outdoors, come inside immediately.
2. When in your home or apartment, quickly close all windows and doors.
3. Turn off any outside air source. You may leave on air conditioning or heat if
it can be set to utilize re-circulated air from inside the home.
Note: The benefit of steps 1-3 is to close your home to possible contamination
from the air outside. It could be only seconds before the blast contamination is
at your doorstep.
4. Go immediately to an area of your home set aside for such an emergency.
Strip off all of your clothing. Using prepared hydrated Calcium Bentonite Clay:
Get in the shower and dip your hands into it. Quickly apply the clay over every
inch of your body (with the exception of in your eyes). Cover your hair and all
nooks and crannies. Scrub your body thoroughly with the clay. Leave it on for
10 minutes. Next, wash off, while continuing to scrub.
5. After drying off, apply another thin film coating of clay and stand with your
arms away from your sides and feet slightly apart. In 5-15 minutes the clay
will dry on your body.
6. After the clay has dried, put on a disposable pull-on garment, a surgical-
type face mask, and disposable shoe covers on your bare feet.
7. Using a prepared liquid Calcium Bentonite Clay and a jar of potassium
iodine (KI) into the kitchen and set them on the counter by the sink. Drink 4
ounces of the liquid Calcium Bentonite Clay and take 2 potassium iodine (KI)
tablets or as directed on the label. Periodically every 2-3 hours drink another 2
ounces of the liquid clay.
8. If service is available stay tuned to your TV or radio to stay informed.
Note: Get as comfortable as possible because this will be your repetitive
treatment and mode of dress for several days to come. You will sleep well
knowing you are being protected from radiation.
9. Take a clay bath daily using 1-2 cups of dry clay until danger has passed.
You can also give your pets a clay bath.
10. Wash your clothes by adding cup liquid clay per load.
11. When it is safe to go outside, get a clean new garden sprayer and add
cup of liquid clay to gallon of water and spray your lawns and gardens.
12. Rinse fresh vegetables in clay water.
For those fortunate enough to not have been in a fallout area, please remain
out of the areas affected with radioactive fallout. Drink 2 ounces of clay twice
daily, take 1 Potassium Iodine tablet every morning and take a weekly clay
bath. These are precautionary maintenance doses that are healthy for all of
us. Simply stay away from contaminated areas until the cleanup has been
certified.
As you learned earlier, radioactive material is formed carrying a positive ionic
charge. Calcium Bentonite Clay is a negatively charged ion. Simply put,
Calcium Bentonite Clay adsorbs and absorbs, capturing positive charged ions,
and you wash them off or pass them through your body. Unlike other clays,
only Smectites (Bentonites) can absorb andadsorb and are characterized by its
expandable properties.
Radiation is a real health problem. Calcium Bentonite Clay is the real solution.
I recommend reading the book Living Clay, Natures Own Miracle Cure for
protocols, mixing directions, and to learn more about protecting your family
and yourself from our inevitable exposure to radiation.

Dear Friend,

You are not crazy to be worried about radiation ...

Radiation syndrome, radiation toxicity, radiation illness, radiation damage, radiation sickness and
excessive radiation exposure are all known facts that can make you ill or KILL YOU!

For instance, you may undergo a series of X-ray exams but that excess radiation actually increases
your chances for contracting cancer unless you do something to repair the damage. In a moment,
we'll tell you of the many things one can do to support their body's healing processes after such
damage.

You might undergo cancer radiation therapy and firsthand suffer the direct effects of radiation
exposure with nausea, anemia, hemorrhaging and fibrosis.

In that case you don't need anyone to tell you of the devastation that radiation exposure can do. All
you need are remedies to help counter its destructive effects.

If you live at high altitudes or take a lot of airplane flights you are naturally exposed to higher doses
of ionizing radiation, too, so what do you do to prevent succumbing to radiation sickness and
illness?



Okay, now the really big problems...

Living near a nuclear power plant, coal burning plant or near old government radiation testing
grounds (such as in Nevada or New Mexico) also gives you higher than normal radiation exposure
and that there are still radioactive contaminants in the environment blowing around ... and guess
who gets to ingest them?

If you've worked in uranium mining, uranium or plutonium processing or in weapons
manufacturing, your contaminant exposure is definitely above normal and ill effects are not far
behind. Plenty of Gulf War veterans have been exposed to "depleted uranium" military sources and
believe strongly that it's responsible for their health problems.

Working at a nuclear power plant, in a submarine, or with certain types of diagnostic medical
equipment are all ways to become sick from radiation exposure if there is an accident.

If you're ever the victim of a nuclear attack, well you know the rest there ...

Frankly, if you don't heal yourself of the effects of radiation exposure and if you don't bind
radioactive particles and flush them out of your body if you've ingested them, then they'll just stay
there and slowly work at destroying your health. Eventually you will succumb to unexplained
symptoms of fatigue, lethargy, a weakened immune system, tumors, unexplained illnesses, anemia,
excessive bleeding, genetic damage, cancer, leukemia, cataracts, possibly having children with
severe birth defects. You can develop all sorts of conditions that just don't seem to respond to
medicine ... and for which there doesn't seem to be any explanation.

If you've heard of friends suffering this way, you know what I mean.


I once saw the hair analysis of a 50-year old man who worked at mining exploration in his 20's, and
thirty years later a hair analysis still showed signs of uranium contamination that were well off the
charts. I was simply shocked how long uranium, as a heavy metal, can stay in the body if you don't
detoxify yourself of prior exposure. All he did for his summer job (way back) was set the blasting
caps for mining exploration in our Western deserts, but the contaminated dust he ingested has
stayed inside him for years!

Radiation and radioactivity are everywhere ... in the air, water, and in the food we eat. Not all is
bad. However, every time there's another nuclear test explosion or nuclear power plant accident in
the world, our total exposure to radioactive contamination increases once again. Every time there is
a radioactive accident somewhere, our toxic load just keeps getting greater.

How about this likely scenario now that we've declared a war on terrorism ...

BOOM! ... a "dirty bomb" goes off somewhere in the world and people thousands of miles away are
on the same day affected by the radioactive contamination! This is what everyone worries about,
and what we spend so much money to prevent, but if it happenes what do you do?

Or, a nuclear power plant suffers an unexpected accident -- such as with Chernobyl (Russia), Three
Mile Island (USA), or Tokaimura (Japan) -- and the food we eat and air we breathe instantly
becomes contaminated.

Gosh, "that won't ever happen" is what government officials says and those are three cases already -
- at least the ones we know about. It's certain to happen again despite the best of safeguards and
safety measures. What about the potential for terrorist incidents? What happens when we do atomic
weapons testing?

Here's the short of it ...

If you've been exposed to radioactive contamination, including depleted uranium dusts, I'm going to
tell you about all the published, proven, documented, scientific ways to help detoxify yourself --
which you can do at home. I'm also going to tell you about all the stages of acute radiation
syndrome in case -- God forbid it -- there ever is another nuclear power plant accident or something
else.

Furthermore, I'm not just going to tell you how to help heal your body from the effects of radiation
and radioactive contamination but how to rebuild your body to better health, and what natural
supplements to take to help you survive through hematopoietic and gastrointestinal radiation
syndromes that might prove fatal if there ever were an atomic incident.

For years all I ever read were million dollar government studies that told us that "radiation is bad
for you," but not a single study was done telling us what natural ways we could use to help
ourselves if we were ever exposed.

What???

Imagine that - in fact please visualize this: there is a giant apparatus out there involving hundreds of
thousands of people and billions of dollars in investment every year, gihugic organiztions all over
the world, and no information on what to do if there is a radioactive disaster other than "stay
indoors, shut the windows, don't drink local produce or milk, and take potassium iodide (if you can
get it)."

I simply cannot put into words the ignorance of the oversight, which is about the same amount of
ignorance to the fact that we don't have enough seed banks all over the world in case something
happens. We spend this gigantic sum of money and have all this effort to prevent any problems, and
yet not a single blessed dime has been spent to produce one tiny phamplet on what to do - that goes
beyond the simplistic advice I just recounted.

That information is useless if something happens and you're in trouble with tens of thousands of
other people in line. Yes, if there's a disaster the stores will empty of potassium iodide, the hosptials
will be filled, and you'll be left on your own. Think about it. If there is a mass problem, why would
you get the help you need since resources will be limited?

The government spends hundreds of millions of dollars every year related to radiation and
radioactivity but not a single peep about this crucial topic -- what to do if you are actually exposed
to intense radiation or radioactive contamination With this oversight these guys at the top aren't
statesmen thinking about our future, that's for sure.

Since the government hasn't done anything about it, several years ago I swore I would to help the
nation. Everyone has to contribute, and this is my contribution.

Now with American soldiers returning from overseas wars where they've been exposed to depleted
uranium dusts, the problem is finally rearing its head as many have feared. But there is something
you can do about it.

A yet bigger problem will arise if some large scale nuclear emergency ever hits the country. You
can imagine the frantic chaos that result because there is no "what to do" information available
other than "stay at home and take potassium iodide, shut the windows and don't eat the local
produce" or go to the hospital, which will no doubt be swamped with hundreds of thousands of
people.

You can see why when I was getting my Master's Degree in Clinical Nutrition I swore this would
be one of the two health topics I'd write about to contribute to the nation. If the government wasn't
doing anything about these national security risks, then it was up to me to step up to the plate and
follow Benjamin Franklin's practice of creating a solution and filling a void, just as he did in
establishing the first libraries, street lights, fire companies, public solution for lightning caused
fires, and so forth in Philadelphia.

Do you know what the first thing you should eat when there is radioactive fallout in your area?

Do you know what you should do if potassium iodide is not available to block the absorption of
radioactive iodine in your thyroid gland?

Do you know what must you purchase well ahead of time to protect yourself from the effects of
ingesting radioactive contamination?

Do you know what foods or supplements will bind and then flush contaminants right out of your
body?

Can you tell me what has actually worked in Chernobyl, Tokaimura, Nagasaka and Hiroshima --
what the doctors used to help people with radiation exposure?

Do you know what decontamination and emergency detoxification steps, involving drugs, that
government military sources and the CDC or Homeland Security offices suggest you follow?

Well I've collected all this information and more, and put it in a book to help you.

And it's 100% FREE. Yep, no charge -- just download and email to freinds so you don't crash my
server.

If you have been exposed to too many X-rays or 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 check out this detoxification information as well.

You'll learn about the foods you can eat that will literally build up your immune system and help
you recover from the RNA/DNA damage caused by radiation exposure. You'll find out about the
substances that will actually chelate radioactive heavy metals from your body.

What more can anyone do?

In this 121-page ebook (the only one of its kind, and certainly the largest compendium of
information on natural methods for detoxifying radiation and radioactive particles in existence that
will still be available if the hospitals are jammed full), you'll find out how to protect yourself from
radiactive contamination in case of a terrorist incident or some other form of nuclear or atomic
exposure. You will learn various ways to detoxify yourself and help heal yourself after radiation
exposure.

If I came back from a war zone, I'd get this this el pronto.

If you're undergoing cancer therapy you need this information, too because inside this manual you'll
learn how to safely and quickly rebuild your health.

Are you undergoing cancer therapy and your blood figures are off? You'll learn which supplements
will rebuild platelet, WBC and RBC counts rather quickly. There are certain oils you should take,
amino acids to protect your GI tract, certain foods that prevent nausea, and certain mushrooms and
immune stimulants that rival cytokines in rebuilding your immune health.

More importantly, there are three or four very specialized nutritional substances that will lock on to
radioactive particles and escort them out of your body.

Inside this 121-page manual, How to Help Support the Body's Healing After I ntense Radioactive
or Radiation Exposure, you'll learn:



There is potassium iodide KI or KIO3, which you should take in some (but not all) nuclear
emergencies to block radioactive uptake by the thyroid! Find out how much to take, when
to take it, and what to do (what to take as an alternative) if it isn't available.

There are 3 types of baths you can soak in at home to pull out the effects of radioactive
heavy metals from the cells of your body. Don't forget to drink certain teas when you do
this, because teas of a certain type can bind some radioactive particles and help excrete
them as well! There's a delicious way to drink ingestions away!

There are special algae and seaweeds you can eat which are clinically proven to bind
radioactive particles and escort them out of the body. Urine, blood and radioactive tests
have all proven these effects, for which patents have been granted, and they have been
successfully used at Nagasaki and most recently at Chernobyl. They are known for their
effectiveness, but do you know what they are, where to get them, how to use them, and
what recipes makes them palatable and delicious or where to go and eat them if cooking
isn't your thing? I have one word for you: Modifilan, perhaps the best seaweed chelator
(containing anti-cancer properties, too) than anything else out there. Even if you don't get
this ebook, look into this product.
There are special nutritional products you can take to rebuild your blood, intestines and
immunity so that you don't die from hematopoietic or gastrointestinal radiation syndrome. If
you are suffering from anemia or cancer radiation therapy, this information can save
your life.

There is a special soup you can drink that is the basis of all Eastern nutritional radiation
therapy. Survivors of the Nagasaki atomic bomb, who were just one mile from the blast,
never succumbed to radiation poisoning because they avoided sweets and sugars and
made this soup the staple of their diet.
There are special anti-radiation homeopathic formulas you can use (both "drainage"
remedies and opposing remedies) that work to remedy the harmful effects of radiation,
including the ionizing radiation of X-rays. Anti-radium, uranium, plutonium, ... all have
homeopathic remedy antagonists. This is your only place to find out which ones to use and
when.
There are special nutritional supplements -- sulfur containing thiol compounds -- that can
help rebuild your body from radiation exposure ... and which are especially important for
those who work in the nuclear reactor or processing industries because of their specific
protective effects. For those who have been exposed to depleted uranium, the
importance of alkalinizing agents and kidney protectorants cannot be underestimated.

There are 9 special foods you should eat to help rebuild your blood and body extremely
quickly, because they contain a high content of "nucleotides" that promote health and
anti-aging. There are alsospecial fish oils to consume in order to maintain the proper fatty
acid balance content of your blood (olive oil works, too!), otherwise you are likely to die
from severe radiation poisoning even if you were to get a bone marrow transfusion. Ever
hear of an "oxalic acid index" test? Most doctors haven't either, which is why they're flying
blind with useless bone marrow transplants without this understanding.
There are emergency radioactive contamination procedures to follow -- developed by the
Military -- for every type of expected radioactive isotope exposure, and medical
protocols you should become familiar with to understand the step-by-step progression of
radiation sickness and your prospects of survival. If you know this information, you'll
know how to survive and what you must do to assist yourself and your loved ones so that if
there ever is a nuclear disaster, no one in your family becomes another one of the
radiation statistic amidst the thousands.

There are also a variety of pharmaceutical drugs and medications doctors will most likely
give you to protect you from radiation toxicity, but more importantly, there are various
herbs and nutritional supplements you can ingest (which the doctors don't know about) in
addition to those drugs to maximize your chances of recovery and survival. Best of all,
many of them have been studied for their radioprotective effects and cited in medical
studies!

There are two plants you should grow around your house as "protectors" for radiation
emergencies. One is helps heal radiation burns (even for cancer radiation therapy), and
the other change colors as a natural warning signal at the first signs of excess
radioactivity in the environment.



If you are near a nuclear power plant catastrophe, a Gulf War veteran, a cancer patient
undergoing radiation therapy, someone who works in the nuclear power or processing industry, or
someone who lives in a high radiation environment or has just been exposed, you need to get this
information on the curative, remedial measures available for radiation exposure and exposure to
radioactive contaminants.



"I'm originally from Russia and I spent 2 years in high school learning how to put on military gas
masks, check an old meter for radiation and other things that seem so surreal at this time. I
remember I asked my teacher, 70 year old retired general, what I should do if I actual get exposed
to radiation. I remember he just looked at me and said "I think a prayer would help". For years I
tried to find practical sources of information on the subject in Russia, and later in America. All the
experts kept repeating: "Radiation is bad. And don't forget to take your iodine tablets!" That was
before I got your book. As I was reading it, I realized the whole new level of information put
together I never knew existed. It's like you took tons of medical and scientific research published in
those never-read scientific journals no one knows about, and transformed it into practical info you
can actually apply in real life. Thank you so much for all your work." Maxim S., New York




I can guarantee that your doctors don't know half this information -- it is truly the most extensive
book on medical, nutritional, naturopathic and homeopathic radiation detoxification and
radioprotective procedures in existence.

And I made it FREE - just download it. That's all.

If it has even one-quarter or one-eighth of the information guaranteed, in today's world wouldn't
it still be worth the effort to get it ... now, before some mad rush of people shuts the server down?

And in case you're thinking no, let me tell you one simple story about John Wayne and the cast of
a movie he starred in, The Conqueror, which was filmed in Snow Canyon, Utah....



In 1953, the US military tested eleven atomic bombs at Yucca Flats, Nevada, which produced
radioactive fallout clouds. The town of St. George (where the cast and crew of The Conqueror spent
much of their time) and Snow Canyon, where much of the movie was shot, were about 100 miles
downwind from the original Nevada Test Site and received part of this fallout. For thirteen weeks
the actors and crew were exposed to minor levels of radioactive dusts on location, and to make it
worse, the director even shipped 60 tons of the "hot dirt" back to Hollywood so that they could do
convenient retakes of the film.

The result?

By 1980, when People magazine wrote a story on the matter and did a head count, at least 91
members of the original 220 member cast and crew who worked on location had contracted cancer.
Statistically you'd expect about 30 of these people to get cancer. However, 91 had contracted cancer
as of the early 1980s and 46 died of it, including John Wayne (he died of stomach and lung cancer),
Susan Hayward, Agnes Moorehead, and the director Dick Powell. Pedro Armendariz, upon learning
that he had contracted cancer, committed suicide while dying of it.

People magazine never discovered how many of the Indian extras were afflicted, which would also
have added significantly to the totals! All this from being exposed in a town 100 miles downwind of
atomic tests. (I pity our vets who've been exposed to depleted uranium, and the locals who continue
to live in those areas). The town of St. George itself suffered a similar fate -- the residents
eventually contracted cancers in staggering numbers.

What can you do about it? You can try to detoxify away the buildup of any radioactive heavy
metals that have collected in your body, and help your body rejuvenate. You can also eat certain
substances that will help trap these particles as they're being ingested so that they're excreted before
they can do any damage.

Homeopathic treatment for radiation
Radiation Sickness and Poisoning

Update on Homeopathic Treatment and Prevention

With the increasing threat of radioactive contamination from damaged
Japanese nuclear reactors, homeopaths continue to alert people to the
homeopathic remedies used for either the treatment or prevention of radiation
poisoning.

The problem is that people are becoming confused by the number of remedies
recommended by different homeopaths.

Why Are There Differences?

The truth is that there is not just one or two remedies that can help in this
crisis - there are many.

The whole of homeopathic prescribing is based on the principle that a
substance treats or prevents what it can also produce. (See Tutorial 1: The
Law of Similars).

In the instance of radiation poisoning, all that has to be known for treatment
to begin is which remedies, in their testing phase, produce symptoms similar
to those of radiation poisoning. Those remedies can them be used with a
reasonable degree of confidence for either protection against radiation sickness
or treatment of it.

At Homeopathy Plus!, we have confined our suggestions to those remedies
whose effects are also supported by research and/or confirmed with clinical
successes as reported by doctors and physicians dealing with radiation
exposure during the Great World Wars. (References regarding research and
clinical usage of these remedies can be found in links at the bottom of this
Alert.)

Those remedies include the following:

1. Cadmium iodatum (Cadm-i)
2. Cadmium sulphuricum (Cadm-s)
3. Phosphorus (Phos)
4. Strontium carbonicum (Stront-c)
5. X-ray


Obtaining Remedies

There are several ways of obtaining remedies. Most homeopaths will be able to
supply them to you and many natural health stores or pharmacies also carry a
limited range of homeopathics. In some countries, homeopathic pharmacies
supply direct to the public. Of the above, Phosphorus the most well-known
remedies and likely to be the easiest to obtain.

Instructions

Protection: Any one of the above remedies may be used along with other
precautionary measures if under threat of radiation exposure. Take a dose of a
30C potency three times a day.

If a 30C potency is not available, use whatever potency is on hand, taking a
more frequent dose for lower potencies (4-6 times a day) and a less frequent
dose (1-2 times a day) for highter potencies.

Do not exceed 6 doses without guidance from your homeopath who will help
you to adjust your frequency of dose according to the risk of exposure and
your sensitivity to the remedy.

Treatment: If radiation sickness has developed, your homeopath is the best
person to advise on treatment dosages and potencies as these will depend on
the symptoms you are experiencing and their severity.

Do be aware that a larger range of remedies may be referred to for treatment
as idiosyncratic reactions of the sufferer have to be taken into account for best
results.

This is not the case for prevention - a smaller number of remedies is adequate.

If you are unable to contact a homeopath, the following three links have
information to guide you on when and how to dose.

radiotherapy and chemotherapy side-effects but the information and

Fears that America could be hit by the nuclear fallout from the Japan earthquake
dramatically increased today after the reactor hit by the tsunami went into 'meltdown'.
Officials revealed fuel rods are melting inside three damaged reactors at the Fukushima
plant, triggering fears of a serious radiation leak.
Scientists in the U.S. warned today of a 'worst-case scenario' in which the highly
radioactive material could be blasted into the atmosphere and blown towards the West
Coast of America.
They said it could be picked up by powerful 30,000ft winds, carrying the debris across the
Pacific and hitting America within four

Earthquake-hit Japan is fighting to avoid a nuclear catastrophe as one over-heating
reactor lost its cooling today, following explosions at two other reactors at the Fukushima
plant.
Leading nuclear expert Dr John Large, who has visited the plant, said he is concerned that
where the radiation ends up is in the lap of the gods.

The exclusion zone keeps being raised. First it was 3km, then 10, now 20. This plant has
gone through all the steps that occurred at Three Mile Island, and that led to total
meltdown.
It looks like the reactors automatically shut down following the earthquake, causing a
massive collapse of power to the grid,' he told the Sunday Express.
Others have suggested any radioactive cloud would be likely to blow out east across the
Pacific.
'The wind direction for the time being seems to point the (nuclear) pollution towards the
Pacific,' Andre-Claude Lacoste, of the French Nuclear Safety Authority, told AFP.

A second explosion rocked the nuclear plant today, sending smoke into the air. The blast
follows a similar explosion in another unit on Saturday and a further reactor has also lost
its cooling capacity.
What would the reaction be if radiation from Japan reaches U.S. West Coast?
If the radiation risk rises significantly, tablets could be distributed to prevent iodine-
131 from being absorbed into the body.
Radioactive particles, which attack or impair cells, can be taken into the body through
breathing, eating or drinking.
Atomic expert Dr Peter Weish said after Chernobyl that good practice for nuclear accidents
includes sealing flats with adhesive tape, covering your mouth with a mask or wet cloth
and having little contact with rain.
California is watching Japan's efforts to contain leaks and looking at its own air, water and
food supply - but public health officials said there is currently 'no danger'.
But University of Washington Professor of Atmospheric Science Dan Jaffe told Q13 Fox
earlier: 'Based on what we're seeing in terms of the radiation that's being released now,
there is no risk at all.
'Even in the worst case scenario there is a low likelihood of much risk over the Pacific
Northwest.'
Nuclear regulators say the General Electric-designed reactors involved in the emergency
are very similar to 23 reactors used in the U.S, reported MSNBC.
'The worst case scenario is that the fuel rods fuse together,' nuclear expert Joe Cirincione
said.
'The temperatures get so hot that they melt together into a radioactive molten mass that
bursts through the containment mechanisms and it is exposed to the outside so there's
spewed radioactivity into the ground, into the air and into the water,' he told Fox 43.
'Some of that radioactivity could carry in the atmosphere to the West Coast of the United
States.'
But the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission believes there is no danger of radiation
drifting as far as the West Coast.

Extensive damage: Experts are now debating whether a radiation cloud could reach the
West Coast
The Japanese nuclear reactor hit by the tsunami went into 'meltdown' today, as officials
admitted that fuel rods appear to be melting inside three damaged reactors.
How the 'meltdown' could come about
The Japanese reactors work by harnessing the energy of thousands of nuclear fuel
rods that are normally kept cool in water.
But if the cooling system fails, heat generated by the nuclear reaction rises uncontrollably.
The nuclear fuel can then melt, forming molten pools on the floor of the reactor at
thousands of degrees Celcius - known as a 'meltdown'.
These pools of molten fuel can melt through the reactor safety barriers - there is an inner
and outer shield.
The worst case scenario is that the protective shield around the reactors is melted away,
resulting in a serious radioactive material leak.
There is a risk that molten nuclear fuel can melt through the reactor's safety barriers and
cause a serious radiation leak.
There have already been explosions inside two over-heating reactors at the Fukushima
Dai-ichi nuclear plant, and the fuel rods inside a third were partially exposed as engineers
desperately fight to keep them cool after the tsunami knocked out systems.
Japanese chief cabinet secretary Yukio Edano said it was 'highly likely' that the fuel rods
inside all three stricken reactors are melting.
Some experts class that a partial meltdown of the reactor, but others would only use that
term for when molten nuclear fuel melts through a reactor's inner chamber - but not
through the outer containment shell.
As fuel rods melt, they form an extremely hot molten pool at the bottom of the reactor that
can melt through even the toughest of containment barriers.
Japan is fighting to avoid a nuclear catastrophe after the tsunami. There was a hydrogen
explosion at the reactor in Unit Three of the power station earlier today, in which eleven
workers were hurt by the blast that was felt 25 miles away.


Before and After: Minamisanriku is shown prior to and following the devastation of an
earthquake and tsunami
The reactor at Unit One of Fukushima exploded on Saturday, blowing several walls away
but engineers said the core was still contained. The fuel rods in the reactor in Unit Two of
the plant were partially exposed from their coolant today - which also increases the risk of
meltdown.
Engineers have been fighting to keep the reactors under control after the tsunami knocked
out emergency coolant systems on Friday.Earlier engineers were frantically trying to cool
radioactive materials at all the reactors with seawater but had halted the process, which
resulted in a rise in radiation levels and pressure.
Plant managers knew an explosion was a possibility as they struggled to reduce pressure
inside the reactor containment vessel in Unit Three, but apparently felt they had no choice
if they wanted to avoid a complete meltdown.
In the end, the hydrogen in the released steam mixed with oxygen in the atmosphere and
set off the blast, which was felt 25 miles away.
The plant's operator Tokyo Electric Company said radiation levels at the reactor were still
within legal limits.

Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said Unit Three reactor's inner containment
vessel holding nuclear rods is intact, allaying some fears of the risk to the environment and
public.
The government had warned that a further explosion was possible because of the build-up
of hydrogen in the building housing the reactor.
More than 180,000 people have been evacuated from the area.
Japan has distributed 230,000 units of stable iodine to evacuation centres as a precaution.
it can be used to protect against thyroid cancer in the event of a radiation leak.
U.S. President Barack Obama said he is heartbroken by the events unfolding in Japan and
pledged America will support the country.
He told an audience: 'All of you, young and old, have been watching the full magnitude of
this tragedy unfold' and added that the Japanese are 'some of our closest friends and
allies'.
Nuclear energy 'remains a part of the President's overall energy plan', despite new
concerns about its safety, a White House spokesman said.
PLANE FEARS: Airline radiation scans
German carrier Luftansa has begun scanning flights from Japan for radioactive material
- but has not found any yet.
Airport fire services have checked planes landing at Frankfurt and Munich, a spokesman
confirmed.
The carrier are the first to take the action - as a U.S. aircraft carrier sent to help relief
efforts was forced to move because of the radiation leak at Fukushima.
The ship was around 100 miles north-east of the plant when radiation was detected.
Japan has asked America for more equipment to help cool quake-damaged nuclear
reactors.
Earlier a state of emergency had been declared after the high levels of radiation were
detected at the nuclear power complex.
Thousands of families have been evacuated and many more were yesterday being
checked for radiation exposure as Japan began to take stock of what the prime minister
labelled its most severe crisis since the Second World War when the U.S. dropped
nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Tens of thousands are feared dead, with bodies being picked up from beaches along a
300-mile stretch of coastline.
Others are being gathered from the sea and thousands more are believed to lie buried
deep in mud under the debris of homes and cars. At least 10,000 people half the
population of the port of Minami Sanriku were unaccounted for and the town has been
virtually wiped off the map.
Nearby Rikuzentakata was also swamped and destroyed by Fridays tsunami, killing at
least 400 people.
Hundreds of Britons many of them English language teachers are among the missing.
Some 100,000 troops and civil defence members, backed by ships and helicopters,
yesterday began the mammoth task of clearing rubble and searching for survivors and
bodies.
So many people died because when the nine-magnitude Pacific Ocean earthquake struck
80 miles off the coast of Sendai, warnings were issued that a tsunami would hit land in an
hour.
But survivors said it struck in nine minutes.

There were warnings last night that strong aftershocks, with a magnitude of six or more,
could be expected for at least another week and Tokyo shuddered several times
yesterday as a series of shocks struck the city.
But the gravest consequence of the earthquake and tsunami could yet be felt, as scientists
frantically tried to control the threat of nuclear meltdown.
Men in white protective suits and masks swept Geiger counters over frightened survivors
yesterday as nuclear experts around the world monitored the crippled and unstable
Fukushima plant, 150 miles north of Tokyo.
Up to 200,000 people were evacuated from within a 12-mile radius of the plant, which
remains the biggest threat.
Officials revealed that 22 people had already been recorded with radiation poisoning, and
they said around 190 were in the plants vicinity when radioactive steam was deliberately
leaked in an attempt to cool the reactors.

And the words designed to reassure the public that they were in no danger from any
leaked radiation were at odds with those from the operator of the plant, Tokyo Electric
Power.
The company conceded that radiation levels around the complex had risen above the
safety limit but tried to appease the public by stating that it did not mean an immediate
threat to human health.
It also emerged yesterday that the government ignored explicit warnings from a Japanese
expert on nuclear power more than three years ago.

blew off the upper part of the structure
Professor Ishibashi Katsuhiko, of Kobe University, said the guidelines introduced to protect
the nuclear plants were seriously flawed and that the plants were vulnerable to major
quakes.
Unless radical steps are taken now to reduce the vulnerability of nuclear power plants to
earthquakes, Japan could experience a true nuclear catastrophe in the near future, he
warned in 2007.


Elsewhere, millions of people are without power and water, factories will remain closed for
weeks and Tokyo has been warned there will probably have to be power cuts to conserve
electricity.
At rescue centres in Sendai, where people prepared for a third night sleeping on the floor,
notice boards are cluttered with the names of the missing.
Weeping survivors said they could only pray that poor communications had failed to put
them in touch with their loved ones.
One elderly woman reading through one of the lists suddenly exclaimed: Thats me! They
say Im missing. Well, here I am. My sons must be worried sick about me. But Im OK.
Rail services to Sendai and beyond were postponed indefinitely and the only way anyone
had any hope of reaching the stricken region was by air, flying to towns on the west coast
and attempting to drive across the island.
But police have blocked many roads, to keep them clear for rescue vehicles and
ambulances.
From the air, rail carriages could be seen lying on their sides. Cars and houses were piled
up like debris thrown on to a huge rubbish tip.

Meanwhile, a Navy crew delivering aid received almost a months worth of radiation in just
one hour.
The U.S.S. Ronald Reagan was around 100 miles (160km) offshore when low-level
radioactive contamination was detected from the stricken Fukushima plant.
Low radiation levels were detected on 17 members of the crew on three helicopters as
they returned to the ship after delivering aid to the devastated city of Sendai.
Most of the radiation was found on the clothing of the 17-man crew, but also on one's skin.
The sailors were said to not have experienced ill-effects following the incident.
Contamination was found on the helicopters, which were scrubbed down on landing.

after delivering aid
The U.S. Seventh Fleet has moved its ships and aircraft away from the Fukushima plant -
hit by two explosions since Fridays dramatic earthquake and tsunami.
The radiation fears were raised as the helicopters returned after delivering aid.
The helicopters sounded the alert around 60 miles from the coast and the ships sensors
also sounded when it was 100 miles north east of the plant.
The fleet said the dose was around the same as one month's normal exposure to the
environments natural background radiation.

Aid effort: 17 members of the helicopter crew were affected by radiation from the stricken
Fukushima plant
The Reagan and several other Navy ships were later repositioned away from the wind
coming from Fukushima as a 'precautionary' measure, a U.S. Navy spokesman said.
The maximum potential radiation dose received by any ship's force personnel aboard the
ship when it passed through the area was less than the radiation exposure received from
about one month of exposure to natural background radiation from sources such as rocks,
soil and the sun,' Navy spokesman Jeff Davis said.
He told ABC News: 'We remain totally committed to our mission of providing assistance to
the people of Japan.'

What radioactive elements are the threat from Fukushima
What the Government is not tellin_ you
What is The Petkau Effect
What are the specific ]alth risks to you & your family
What 4e sequence to these threat will be over the next 5 years
What history has taught 4
What misinformation are we being told?
What you & your famiE can easily and effectively -o to potentially
overcome these risks
NOW!

Q: What specifically is arriving in the air we breathe and unto U.S. soils
and water supplies from radioactive Fall-Out emanating from
Fukushima's nuclear power plant meltdown?
A: Right alongside the biologically significant levels of Iodide-131
arriving onto our shores, the extremely low levels of radioactive metals
Cesium-137, Strontium-90, Tellurium-132, and Yttrium-91/90 are of primary
concern over the short term. Americium-243/241, Barium-140, Plutonium-
244/240/239/238 and Uranium-235/234 are of secondary concern over the
long term.(H)

At points along where the molecule-size radioactive particles lodge in our bone
marrow and organs - even in extremely low levels due to The Petkau
Effect - there will be an immediate, sustained, minuscule, lethal tissue
ionization (via lipid peroxides). Over the short-term, this especially
impacts our immune system and hormonal producing pathways,
insidiously injuring and even killing the very young and old.18 As time
goes on and we absorb more and more trace amounts of radioactive
particles from contaminated air, water and food, this is akin to
undergoing millions or even billions of internal paper cuts 24/7.
Unless our tissues posses adequate reserves of antioxidants and
innate resistance, over decades this will resurrect itself into deranged
genetic behavior (via mutated DNA), dramatically increasing the risks for
developing cancer.19, 86

All exposures to radiation from all sources become cumulative in our body.
There is no safe level of radiation exposure. Our body's ability to cope with it is
called our innate resistance to radiation. Humans are not designed to handle
even the lowest doses of radiation without it potentially overloading our innate
resistance. But there are ways to boost our innate resistance that can make all
the difference if we knew the full scope, types and context of our exposures.

Full Scope:
This information should contain, per capita, the day by day, week by week,
month by month, and year by year quantities of radioactive Fall-Out per
county or region. In this fashion, we can determine what our daily schedule
must be for including overall quantites of antioxidants added into our diet. See
below under "What History Has Taught Us" and the section following pertaining
to "Misinformation and Misapplied Science" to understand what we actually
mean in regards to the Full Scope of our exposure.

Types:
This information should contain the specific source(s) of the radiation and
make clear distinctions between any differing sources of radiation. In this
case, the Fukushima Fall-Out contains exact elements, and we must now deal
with each separately. So we need to know their respective toxic properties,
where they tend to specifically accumulate in the body, and what specific
antidotes for each work most effectively. Think of it this way - types of
radiation come from different sources of radiation, which prefer to collect in
specifc areas of out body, and each has specific antidotes.
Furthermore, it is critical not to confuse emissions or rays of radiation
coming from medical diagnostic testing with Fall-Out particles which produce
rays or radiation. For example, some official spokespersons like to compare
low level daily exposures of Fall-Out from Fukushima here in the U.S. to a
single dental x-ray. When in reality, both are two different types of radiation
entirely. This is akin to comparing apples to oranges. For example, radioactive
particles of Fall-Out once lodged into the lungs or intestinal tract, keep
bombarding us with radiation 24/7 as opposed to a simple one time dental x-
ray only bombards us once and for a few milliseconds.
Lastly, some types of radiation target specific tissues or glands over
other areas. Picking just the right antioxidant or dietary tools that most
antidotes as well as efficiently removes each specifc kind is essential (see
next).

Context:
This information should contain the impact of the above upon our tissues and
organs as unique individuals. We are all a bit different from one another. That
is, how will our innate resistance be impacted according to the short term and
long term toxicity of the above in the context of our sex, age, medical history,
nutrient profile and lifestyle?
For example, radiation at low levels first harms the fatty membranes in
our cells over the short term via lipid peroxidation. Certain lifestyles can
exascerbate this; other lifestyles help cope with it if internal reserves of lipid
antixodants abound.
But over the long term, our DNA becomes the target of embedded
radioactive particles, coupled to cumulative exposures including medical X-
rays. So, the longer we live, the more the threat. We we know the secrets to
aging Age can mean a big difference here, with those folks mature and leading
a healthy lifestyle and who use a nutritious diet better positioned to stavve off
the genetic damage. For others, cancer is the key risk and regenerative
techniques must be put into play as soon as possible (see the "Four Pillars"
sub-tab under the "Home" page).
In other words, differing kinds of damage require different kinds of
antidotes to effectively reverse radioactive damage. One group of antioxidants
that protects our fatty membranes, and one group of antioxidants that protect
our genetic core. Another set of antoxidants can specifically intervene at the
gland or tissue involved, such as the thyroid galnd, while another set can
provide for the most efficient means to escort out the specific offending
radioactive particle out of our body.
Also, context is about not confusing low level exposures with high level
exposures. Both have toxic impacts independent of each other. Low level
radiation can be much more harmful than higher levels of radiation. Or, in
some cases as with the unfortunate workers at Fukushima, high level radiation
will be more harmful than their low level exposures.
Lastly, both high and low levels of exposure to radiation are cumulative.
Many low level exposures over a given set of time, may be unrecognized as
harmful if the cumulative amont is the only guide post used. For example, if
the person's internal reserves of antioxidants is low, or their innate resistance
to radiation is low, then that person will experience greater harm than a
person undergoing the same expsoure who has a higher innate resistance from
having higher reserves of internal antioxidants.

In Review:
Tragically, our Government is not giving us the full scope, types and context of
our current dilemma, only general statements which are often over-simplistic,
confusing and/or out of context. In fact the very nature in which our
Government has huddled around the issue of military and industrial nuclear
energy makes it impossible it could ever be honest and completely forthcoming
with the American public.93
We need the dirty details so we can bend fear into insight and then take
appropriate, timely action through proper understanding. But for decades the
apparatus put in place in our Government has been contrary to such
communicatons. Most importantly, no information is being provided covering
the risks to low level radiation when our tissues become embedded with tiny
amounts of radioactive nanoparticles. Instead we are simply told levels are too
low to be concerned about. What hogwash!85-89, 96, 98-100
These nanoparticles keep emitting their radiation constantly - 24/7,
something not being discussed and leads the general public into a false sense
of security. In reality, these gaps of open, honest discussions in place of
shunning our responsibility to do the right thing has dire consequences within
our Government. In this manner we have all been enablers fostering our
Government to shift into a Nanny State mentality and modus operandi. That's
why we now only receive these official, carefully crafted, mass media
pronouncements that amount to hollow wordsmithing reciting unscientific
constructs. In place of wordsmithing bullet points that are only meant to
placate the unsuspecting and niave, we must demand from our servants in the
government to cease and desist all the mumbo-jumbo. We must insist upon
immediate dialogue which openly and honestly discusses The Petkau Effect.
Only then can we discuss at the national level the most effective means to
deal with counter-measures that may make all the difference for both
the short term as well as the long term. 1-7, 20, 21, 34-40, 80-84, 104

For scientists, the Petkau Effect may be illustrated as follows:18, 22, 64

A long term exposure of extremely low radiation (i.e., one-ten millionth of a
rad per minute) was found to be 100 BILLION times MORE lethal than a short
term exposure to exceedingly high level radiation (i.e., 10,000 rads per
minute). As it turns out, Petkau discovered that at exceedingly high radiation
levels, the abundant free radicals generated in tissues tended to cancel each
other out before they could do cellular damage. But at extremely low levels of
radiation, these same free radicals - produced in minuscule quantities - remain
unchecked. And any steady stream of unchecked free-radicals will efficiently
and lethally cleave lipid cellular membranes like a hot knife slicing through
butter once they overwhelm and exhaust cellular antioxidant defenses. This
dramatically illustrates the non-linear aspects of dose (rads) to lethality. Most
scientists specializing in the field of nuclear medicine are unaware of this fact.
And most think strictly in terms of genetic damage, while the above presents
its lethal affects upon cell membranes and only secondarily to the genetic core.

Q: What is the no-spin truth regarding our health risks arising from this
radioactive Fall-Out?
A: For the short term: The Petkau Effect is a "must know subject" so
that we can effectively combat this new threat to our health and protect
our children without fear. We can do this; we just have to get ourselves
properly informed to the no-spin truth, and then go to work to solve this crisis
with select nutrients rich in antioxidants and special regenerative repair factors
proven to be highly effective against radiation poisoning. Examples of short
term health threats pertain to:18
Pregnant women for premature births;
Our infants for pneumonia, influenza and septicemia W).e., up to 900%
greater death rate frEO normal in regions
receiving the most low dose Fall-Out - see Dr. Sternglass quote below);
and
Our adults and senior citizens most at risk for immune deficiency crises.
A: Over the long 4]rm: Cesium-137 will concentrate in the fatty tissues,
Iodine-131 in the thyroid gland, breast tissues and ovaries, Strontium-90
and Uranium-235/234 in the bone, and Uranium-235/234 and
Plutonium-244 in the liver. Even to this very day, the children in Belarus are
suffering from toxic overloads of Cesium-137 in their bodies due to the 1986
Chernobyl incident.83, 84 Examples of long term health threats specifically
pertain to:

Our children for thyroid cancer, leukemia and learning defects;85, 88, 99

Our women for preast cancer (i.e., only 18% of American women live
within 100 miles of nu]ear power plants, yet this small group accounts for
55% of all
breast cancer cases in the U.S.);117
Our general population for various forms of chronic degenerative diseases,
including the ]ippling neurological diseases.70, 72
To avoid this, these radioactive metals need to be removed from our tissues
just as fast as they arrive. So, keep reading! For further example, we must
think both in terms of initial impact, as well as long term impact on mortality
(death) and morbidity (injury) rates.

Initial Impact:
We have a great deal of lessons learned from the case related to the April
1986 Chernobyl incident concerning a single reactor's complete meltdown. If
I were defining stages to a meltdown, I would use the following guidelines:(I),
110-113
Phase I Meltdown is when hydrogen gases build up to the extent that the
outer containment tructure explodes or vents large amounts of steam
containing
lower molecular weight radioactive isotopes, i.e., Iodide-131; Cesium-137,
Strontium-90 and/or Tellurium-132.
Phase II Meltdown is when the outer coatings to the fuel rods (Zircaloy)
exceed 2000oF, a- the inner most containment structure cracks and starts
seeping
heavier elements into the environment, i.e., Barium-140, Plutonium-
244/240/239/238, and/or Uranium-235/234.
Phase III Meltdown is when the Zircaloy ignites causing an explosion,
resulting in a globC catastrophic event because the most lethal of all
radioactive
isotopes, Plutonium-244/240/239/238 and/or Uranium-235/234 are
jetisoned high into the atmosphere, and proceed to contaminate across the
globe.
We now know that as of March 16th, Fukushima's nuclear reactor units 1, 2 &
3 have all experienced at least Phase I Meltdown, and since Plutonium has
been detected in the outer environment, one or more Units is likely to have
experienced a Phase II Meltdown according to the above criteria.119 Plus we
have fuel rods in non-containment shielded pools of water at Units 4, 5 & 6.
These are also potentially prone to release toxic radioactive isotopes or
possibly explode if water levels should fall and expose these rods to open air
for sufficient time periods (see National Academy of Science report: NAS3-15-
05.pdf). Phase I Meltdown has occurred at least in Unit 4.

The only difference the pundits may now debate is related to the fact that
these exposed reactor cores and exposed fuel rods have yet to suffer a
powerful secondary Zirconium oxide (Zircaloy) explosion as Chernobyl appears
to have undergone back in April of 1986.(I)

Regardless, Chernobyl's immediate aftermath as experienced here in the U.S.
during the year following the incident was meticulously compiled by a top U.S.
expert in the Fall of 1987. And for his efforts, he was blacklisted:(B), 41
"(Dr. Ernest J. Sternglass of the University of Pittsburgh) presented at the First
Global Radiation Victims Conference in New York in September 1987,
impressively conveyed the seriousness of the radiation problem. The
infant mortality rate following the arrival of the Chernobyl fallout in
early May of 1986 showed a 54% increase in June 1986 in the Pacific
region of the United States. Washington State had the highest rate in
the region with a 245% increase in deaths per thousand live births.
California was next highest with a 48% increase in infant mortality as
compared to June of the year before. These high rates lasted for July
and August. Massachusetts led the nation in post-Chernobyl increase
of infant mortality rate with an increase of 900% per thousand live
births! Massachusetts also had a decline of 70% in newborns. The rate
of live births also decreased throughout the country in response to the
Chernobyl fallout. The US fertility rate decreased 8.3% in July and
August to the lowest level ever observed in United States history."
Long Term Impact:
But the long term impact of the Chernobyl incident is even more
devastating as has been recently brought to light by two independent
research groups. Here in the U.S., the Radiation And Public Health Project
(RPHP) organization, a not-for-profit group comprised of renown researchers in
the field of nuclear-related epidemiology, has comprehensively compiled the
death rates due to the 1986 Fall-Out over a decade or more.88, 100 And in
2007, The New York Academy of Sciences published a report from Russian
investigators on the corresponding Eastern European holocust.99 Together,
these two respective groups document that the collective U.S. and European
death toll from this single event has now surpassed two (2) million and
continues to grow due to the ongoing food chain contamination issue!

In Review:

Bending Fear Into Insight


Q: What is the sequence to these risks we will face in the coming days from
this radioactive Fall-Out?
A: The Fall-Out will present in THREE forms or threats to our health:


1. The first will be the immediate airborne threat over the next several
weeks heading into the U.S. For comparative analysis that may pertain to
fall-out coming out of a Fukushima Meltdown, John Christensen working as a
staff scientist in Berkeley Labs Earth Sciences Division has co-authored a
study describing how lead pollution travels from Asia to the U.S.. His research
- based in part upon photos taken by NASA's Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view
Sensor - was recently published in the journal Environmental Science &
Technology (see fallout map to immediate left).42

133_;region=NH



We are now concerned with the most lethal radioactive particles
should they become airborne. Since Reactor Units 1, 2 & 3 all experienced
hydrogen explosions prior to March 14, we know that the outer coating to the
fuel rods had become overheated.112 The outer coating is composed of
Zirconium oxide which when combined to steam is exothermic at all
termperatures.(I) At temperatures below 2,000oF, this metal-steam combo
releases vast amounts of hydrogen, which caused the initial super-pressure
explosions.111 At the same time, this event also released airborne Iodide-131,
Cesium-137/134, and Tellurium-132107 likely in sufficient quantities to initiate
The Petkau Effect in both animals and humans for thousands of miles
downwind once the particles embed into their respective host tissues.

@ normal criticality or normal flux of neutron energy < 1200oC then: 2(H2O)
+ Zr --> ZrO2 + 2(H2) --> releases vast amounts of hydrogen gas



However, if these fuel rods become exposed to open air because of a
coolant leak, high-intensity meltdown of the core initiates. Temperatures
would quickly surpass the previous ranges, and could easily set up the big one.
For example, if temperatures exceed 1500oC or 2,732oF (which is possible
since high-intensity meltdown temperatures - due to low coolents or low water
- easily approach 5,000oF), Zircaloy becomes highly ignitable in the presence
of super-heated steam and adequate oxygen.(I), 113 So, when water is
finally added back into the picture, bingo...



@ prompt criticality or high-flux of neutron energy ("takeoff" threshold)
> 1500oC then: 2(H2O) + Zr --> ZrO2 + 2(H2) --> super heated ZrO2
+ O2 --> ingition --> explosion --> nanoparticle release of radioactive
elements, most alarmingly Plutonium-240/239/238.



This would not be a small explosion like we saw on T.V., this would be
much more powerful. Why?



Collectively, these fuel rods contain lots of Zircaloy which could translate into
quite an explosion. Most nuclear power plants have between 20 to 25 tons of
total Zircaloy on site, but because Fukushima has 6 Reactors, we may be
looking at closer to 100 tons of this explosive material now at risk.110 An
explosion of such magnitude, especially if it involved Fukushima Reactor Unit
3, would likely cause a global catastrophic event. This is because the fuel rods
in Unit 3 are enriched with Plutonium (MOX fuel rods). If that happens, due to
the extreme toxic effects from inhaling plutonium (it is perhaps one of the
most toxic substances known), cancer death rates would skyrocket across
much of the world, despite offical propaganda bullet points which try to
minimize the concerns.120 And most unfortunately for Japan, an area the size
of Pennsylvania outward from Fukushima would likely become uninhabitable
for thousands of years.(L)



Such an event would give The Petkau Effect a whole new meaning. Hopefully,
secondary explosions of Zircaloy itself will be prevented. To that end, the
world's largest cement pumps are now underway to Fukushima (as of April
1st). Just as with Chernobyl, this may be the only way to contain or prevent
the secondary explosions many times more lethal than the first salvo.118 So,
what of the initial salvo of explosions?



Depending upon which "starting date" you use (the date of the first detection
of radioactive cesium being airborne or when helicopter crews from the USS
Ronald Reagan were first documented to have been exposed, i.e., March 14th,
2011), we can expect the West Coast of the U.S. to begin to receive at least
minimal fallout within 7 to 10 days or possibly on the weekend of March 18th -
20th, 2011.



This may mean that by the 1st of April, the entire region of North America will
have undergone the first round of Fall-Out exposure, even if at undetectable
levels in many areas. As the upper air currents traveling in excess of 80 knots
per hour repetitively cycle around the globe over and over again, the stock of
radioactive airborne materials will fall out as part of normal rain fall or as
simple dust particles. At these rates of speed, once the Fall-Out enters into the
Jet Stream, the below graphic strongly supports an arrival of the first tier of
Fall-Out into the U.S. Western shoreline for the weekend of March 18th - 20th.



In fact, it has just been confirmed as of Friday, March 18th, 2011, that low
levels of radiation above normal have reached our Western shores.



See:
http://www.canada.com/sports/radiation+detected+west+coast/4464251/sto
ry.html



More specifically, students at the University of Washington are now
documenting Fall-Out in the NW. They have found radioactive Cesium-
137/134, Iodide-133/132/131, and Tellurium-132 to date.



See: http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/26571/



And as of March 24th, students at University of California in San
Fransisco had collected rainwater containing levels of radioactive Iodide-131
18,100% above legal EPA limits.121



Next, as of March 29th, the BBC reported that radioactive Iodide-131 has been
detected in the U.K., 6,000 miles due West of Japan (meaning the Jet Stream,
which goes from West to East, brought this radioactivity from Japan and into
the U.K. soils over a distance of 18,000 miles).92



So, as of April 1st, 2011, what is the real story? Well, it appears we have three
official versions. This is further confused by the fact that we are likely dealing
with not just one Reactor core which has partially breached, but perhaps the
cores to Reactor Units 1, 2 & 3 in all.



First off, as of March 29th, Fukushima Reactor Unit 2 was reported to have
undergone at the very least a partial meltdown - meaning containment has
been lost. This event was initially measured by workers of the plant's
operators - Tokyo Electric Power Company or TEPCO, as leaking radiation 10
MILLION times greater than normal.108 Leakage of Plutonium-240/239/238
would be consistent with such high amounts of detected radiation, even if
present in highly limited areas in and around the plant.



Within hours, higher up TEPCO officials recanted, and stated the release was
closer to 100,000 times normal radiation levels.105



Still later in the week, this figure was lowered once again to just 10,000 times
over the normal radiation levels.109



And as of the afternoon on April 1st, PST, TEPCO officials now claim the latest
10,000 figure is also inaccurate.116



Then we add to this the statements that 17 workers at Fukushima were
exposed to a high, but non-lethal dose of radiation, and that three of them
were exposed to almost double the amount as the others, but still in the non-
lethal range.(K) So, what happens next? After a delay of several days, family
members start reporting to the press that their son or daughter who worked at
Fukushima during this crisis are now expected to die.118



Now each of these workers are required by law to wear a dose badge (called a
dosimeter), which detects total radiation exposure. Obviously there is a
disconnect between the badges of these folks, and the translation of the data
to the press by the official spokespersons.



This begs the question, if you are really not trying to cover-up the seriousness
of the problem, why not just take more comprehensive measurements and
solve the issue? Or is the entire area covering Reactor Units 1, 2 & 3 simply
too toxic to put humans into harm's way? And if that is the case, as is likely,
why not simply use Robotics, something the Japanese are famous for? For now
(April 1st), no one is saying. Well except for this as of April 3rd - TEPCO now
says it's software must have a glitch because the readings are simply too high
for their in-house scientists to believe. Really? What this unmistakably leaves
us with is that TEPCO and Japanese officials appear to be resorting to
conjecture, denial, pitiful excuses, or worse, a cover-up conspiracy.



And some of these arguments aiding the conjecture or cover-up can be quite
clever. For example, some officials are claiming that if the 10 million times
above normal level was an accurate reading, then other radioactive isotopes
should be present that have not yet been reported. Well, if they are not taking
accurate radiation level measurements, how can they expect to conduct a
thorough scan for all the possible differing radioactive isotopes?



Notwithstanding, to date, Iodide-131, Cesium-137, Tellurium-132 and
Plutonium-240/239/238 have all been detected in and around the nuclear
power plant with the exception of Tellurium-132, which was detected in Fall-
Out at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. The tracking for Xenon-
133 (a leading indicator for tracking Fall-Out patterns) would help to indicate
what the likely track is for the lighter radioactive elements as just listed (see
below-right).106, 107



The presence of Plutonium-240/239/238 presents some real issues, most
importantly, what is its source? The best guess at present is that the highly
toxic MOX fuel rods found exclusively in Reactor Unit 3, which contain
relatively high levels of Plutonium,114 have suffered at least partial meltdown,
and this is the source of the Plutonium in and around Fukushima.



Finally, although the heavier radioactive nuclei are less prone to going airborne
without an explosion, for the extremely small nanoparticles it is not
inconceivable for radioactive nuclei like Americium-243/242/241, Plutonium-
244/240/239/238 and Uranium-235/234 to get airborne and reach the
Western shores of the U.S. as early as April 5th or 6th in trace amounts. So,
we had better get prepared NOW.90, 9


2. The next threat will be when it enters into our water supply and food
chain over the many weeks and perhaps months ahead, which will be most
likely related to Cesium-137 and Strontium-90 - both with half lives of
approximately 30 years.



3. The last threat stems from the extremely low levels of radiation which
become ever present due to radioactive materials burrowing into our tissues.
This will be by far the more deadly and insidious form of radiation poisoning to
those living in North America, and is properly called The Petkau Effect. The
Petkau Effect is in many ways identical to what happens when
underground fires ignite and cannot be extinguished. Indeed, there are
locations around the world where abandoned coal mines went ablaze and
simply cannot be put out. Some of these have smoldered slowly out of control
for 30 years or more. The same may occur within our very own bodies when
radioactive Iodide-131, Cesium-137, Strontium-90 and Tellurium-132 enter
our lungs as we breathe or in through our digestive tract when we eat or drink
contaminated foods or water.(A), 22



In other words, unless you are a worker at a damaged nuclear power plant, or
live within a few miles of Fukushima, for now you don't need to worry about
acute spikes in radiation which are fleeting, since few will ever experience such
an event.(K) You should be concerned about tiny scattered particles that settle
into our tissues undetected, and not worry about amounts sufficient to trigger
Geiger Counter alarms going off at airport check stations. The tiny amounts of
exposure which are more likely to occur give off constant ionizing radiation
that burns us at the molecular level over many years before causing a
diagnosable issue.19



Also, the cloth-paper masks that many people use around their faces are
useless to protect from these tiny particles. Sorry folks! You would need
advanced charcoal filters that are quite bulky and more expensive to achieve
any meaningful "up-front" protection for your lungs. Therefore, be forewarned
that any official positions claiming that, "only low levels of radiation have been
detected and therefore pose no real health threat to the American public," are
suspect and should be viewed as phraseology more properly akin to either
misinformation or outright propaganda.(B), 18



For example, at least one nuclear physicist appearing on a cable news channel
on March 18th has already reported that the amount of radiation that has
landed on U.S. soil would expose those proximal to it to "about the same
amount of radiation we receive when we get a single dental X-ray." Well,
excuse me, but once we ingest these particles, they continuously bombard us
with radiation for days, weeks, months and even years before being
eliminated. This is totally unlike that of a single dental X-ray which only
exposes us to a one time milliseconds of exposure. Obviously this scientist has
not yet taken the time to review The Petkau Effect.



No doubt many scientists will continue to compare apples to oranges by
comparing diagnostic X-ray exposures to trace particles entering into our food
chain and then our bodies from Fukushima Fall-Out. Or worse, is to hear our
officials make statements to the effect that, "Only low levels of radiation have
been detected, and these are well within government 'permissible' standards
which poses no risk to the general public." All these comparisons or standards
are the hallmark of unscientific constructs, since the government
readily admits there is no such thing as safe levels of radiation.66
Most importantly, to my knowledge no one has compared The Petkau Effect,
rad for rad, against extremely short diagnostic X-ray exposures in side by
side tissue or animal studies. As clearly stated above, lethality is not linear in
terms of dose of rads when The Petkau Effect is in play.

Putting The Petkau Effect aside for the moment, all additional amounts of
radiation compound the already harmful levels in the environment. Since: (A)
the start of the first above ground nuclear bomb testing (1950's & 60's), and
then later from (B) the contributions of secret nuclear reactor radioactive
releases and accidents (1970's up to the present day), collectively their
radioactive Fall-Out isotopes influence our environment and food chain - via
their half-life - for (C) decades (i.e., Cesium-137, Strontium-90, Tellurium-132
and Yttrium-91/90), and then furthermore for (D) hundreds and even tens of
thousands of years (i.e., Americium-243/241, Plutonium-244 and Uranium-
235/234).(H), 66

In Review:
So now we clearly see and understand:
(A) What the current threats are,
(B) How to track them, and
(C) For over what duration must we stay focused on them, enabling us
to approach them one by one with...
(D) Real, permanent solutions.

Q: What has history already taught us that is essential for us to know
to superimposed upon the above understandings?
A: History has taught us to "hope for the best," but "plan for the
worst" and to educate oneself better than the politicians or their
official scientific spokespersons!

Since WWII, over 555,000 TRILLION picocuries of radiation have been
released into the Earth's biosphere much of it with a highly toxic half life
exceeding tens of thousands of years.(H), 18 Thanks to this release of
radiation into the global food chain, plus modern day exposures from all
sources, the average human being contains 250,000 picocuries of radiation on
any given day. And we are constantly adding in more. For example, an
average glass of beer contains 390 picocuries.114

A picocurie is simply a specific amount or unit of radiation coming off any
source that is radioactive. When radiation enters into a life form like human
beings, it impacts the biology of that life form. Here in the U.S., the biological
impact of picocuries upon our tissues is also given in specific amounts or units
called rems.

Normal background radiation is said to be 0.24 rems per year. Yet, the average
U.S. citizen from many man-made as well as natural sources receives 0.36
rems of radiation annually. For example, just one CAT Scan can add 0.69 rems
into our tissue at one time. So, we are already receiving above normal
background radiation levels before we become exposed to further accidents
like Fukushima. Therefore, the next time any pundit says you are just going to
receive new amounts of radiation below the normal background levels, realize
this will add on top of your body's current radiation burden. Now here is the
kicker. There is no "safe" level of radiation.66 Any new amounts added into
our systems that invoke The Petkau Effect is playing Russian Roulette. Only
by fortifying our innate resistance do we have the opportunity to check or
neutralize this continuous life long threat.

When one considers the emerging evidence linking so many autoimmune
diseases to environmental toxic exposures (including within war zones69) and
UV radiation, this helps to explain the dramatic rise, for example, not only of
Cancer, but also Hashimoto's Disease,51 Hypothyroidism Type 2, Diabetes
Type 2,50 Colitis, Crohn's Disease, Lupus, Scleroderma, ALS,72, 73 MS,52
R.A., Osteoporosis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Universal Allergic
Reactors, Alzheimer's Disease, infertility, Autism, Low Birth Weight, the rise in
Birth Defects, Infant Failure to Thrive Syndromes (i.e., SIDS), etc...53, 54
With the exception of radon, specific links to endemics of autoimmune diseases
and environmental regions of radioactivity are not being investigated or
reported out of our government agencies, nor their official designated scientific
agencies, which suggests a policy of cover-up.(B) Only emerging independent
studies performed by not-for-profit dedicated scientists track these
associations with cancer in humans which may arise from chronic, low level
radiation poisoning.(B), (F) The under reporting of untoward effects stemming
out of the Chernobyl incident is a classic example.


For example, attempts have been made to grossly underestimate the death
rate from the Chernobyl incident, down to just 31 individuals!97 So, let's get
this straight... U.S. cancer rates - into the tens of thousands - are much
higher within a 100 mile radius of fully operational, intact, nuclear
power plants as opposed to areas free from nuclear power plants, and
yet a complete meltdown with an explosion occurring at a Russian
nuclear power plant caused only 31 deaths??? See graph to immediate
right.117 Russians must really be super human indeed. (In real truth,
according to comprehensive research published by The New York Academy of
Sciences in 2007, that low-ball figure was raised to 985,000 deaths
attributable to the Chernobyl incident, which included the greater
regions affected in the Ukraine, Belarus and pertaining Russian
territories.)98, 99

In Review:
Now like no other time in human history, we must consume daily doses of
select antioxidants and the building blocks to our internal antioxidant enzymes
just to keep ahead of this destructive radioactive body burden. In this manner
we may keep our innate resistance at optimal functional levels.

See: www.radiation.org for further information.


Q: What other misinformation or misapplied science is being reported
by the main stream pundits?
A: Many scientists enlisted as expert spokespersons in the mass media
are either intentionally or unintentionally confusing similar scientific
phenomena as identical scientific phenomena.

Currently there are a group of esteemed physicists who are suggesting that
low levels of radiation from multiple sources, can be beneficial. They are citing
some very compelling evidence which suggests that cancer rates can actually
go down, not up, with long term, low level exposures to toxic radioactive nuclei
such as Cobalt-60 or Cesium-137. They also link this kind of radiation to the
principles of "hormesis" something of which Eclectic Physicians are quite
familiar with. And finally, they cite mineral rich hot springs which are known to
emit low level radiation from a naturally occurring radioisotope called radon.30
In fact it is true that the hot springs in Attica, Lesvos and Ikaria Greece, and in
the Misasa Hot Springs District of Japan are renown for spontaneous healings
arising from proper use of these therapeutic waters. These springs typically
present short term exposures to folks, and with levels of radon that have been
naturally encountered by human beings for millennia. However, harmful
sequelae appear to be associated with (A) longer exposure periods coupled to
(B) higher levels of mixed radioactive contaminants (i.e., Uranium-244 plus
radon), a sign of possible cumulative deleterious effects.56. 57, 58, 59, 60, 61

This illustrates what happens when nuclear physicists are looking in the wrong
direction, even if for the right reason. Chernobyl and Fukushima are not
identical in any way to natural radon exposures found in therapeutic hot
springs. But their respective Fall-Out could compound the effects of the natural
radon emissions in unknown ways. So, we must avoid forming premature
conclusions which are not applicable to the actual, full scale context of this
latest incident. Therefore in my book, there is no such thing as safe, low level
exposures to "man-made" sources of radiation.(F), 55, 66


Indeed, to date, I am unaware of any positive health benefits attributable to
the Chernobyl incident or exposures to depleted uranium (DU) such as
happened in the U.S. Gulf-Wars.67, 68, 69, 70, 71 If any do exist, please send
me the reports. I am aware of at least one report of how wild animals in and
around Chernobyl have made a comeback, but I find it uncompelling. For
example, after Reindeer herds which inhabited Chernobyl's fall-out zones ate
contaminated lichen, they all were exterminated because of their exceedingly
high tissue levels of Cesium-137, and this is still a serious problem for the
children in the region today.63, 82, 83, 84

Additionally, radiation has a way of hiding its inherent lethality over many
years for those wishing to rush through their studies. For example as just
previously mentioned, careful collection of epidemiological evidence over
nearly two decades paints a much clearer and dier end-result than those who
rushed to judgment. A comprehenisve study published 21 years after the
Chernobyl incident, which carefully applied statistical analysis to regions most
laden with Fall-Out, showed that not 31 deaths, but in reality 985,000 deaths
resulted from this single catastrophe.99

In Review:
Statisticians can omit or disqualify relating data points just as easily as they
can include it. It depends upon what vested interests are in play,62 and/or the
comprehensiveness of the statistician(s).(B), (F), 18
1. We should have first been focused on identifying disease associations other
than cancer that arise out of
radiation Fall-Out, so these could be tracked over time, STARTING AT THE
CELL and BELOW CELL LEVEL
(see below).
2. Then we should have been looking into populations which have lived within
100 miles of nuclear power
plants for several decades and their risk assessments for these associated
radiation diseases, including
autoimmune disorders and all forms of cancer.
3. Then we could have been using these two subsets to focus in more
accurately on long term health trends
of folks who were initially exposed to radioactive Fall-Out and their
subsequent health experiences including
those of their children.88 This is the basis to Hypothyroidism Type 2, and I
suspect other escalating glandular
and immune disorders, since insults upon the mitochondrial mechanisms
appear to transfer down to offspring.(G)

As Abraham Lincoln admonished us, "You can fool some of the People
some of the time, but not all of the People, all of the time."

Accounting for phenomena that suggests humans or animals actually
benefit from select kinds of radiation exposure including radioactive
Fall-Out.

These official government spokespersons and nuclear physicists are
reminded about the principles established by the Father of modern cell
physiology, Claude Bernard:47








Bending Insight Into Science We Can Trust



So how does Strict Determinism impact our current situation? Well, it is the
principle which may very well save us. It is all about what principles or
reference points we focus on to use as a directional heading & road map to get
us out of this mess. This will determine what we must do.



But beyond that, without the proper reference points that include associated
risks and adequate time periods to properly assimilate such differing kinds of
data, confusion will prevail when trying to gauge radiation morbidity and
mortality statistics from the latest incident at Fukushima. This will determine
how long we must take action to protect ourselves.



For good reason, many of us feel we cannot trust those who we sent to
represent us in our government farther than we can throw a dollar bill. This is
because crony capitalism is hard at work, putting vested interests ahead of
We, the People and common sense. When it comes to reporting to us the full
facts relating to radiation releases and their impact upon our health, history
tells us we are being hihgly manipulated, even after President Clinton led the
first effort to expose the truth in 1997 (see Department of Energy's Advisory
Committee on Human Radiation Experiments Report in endnote 93 below, plus
endnotes 94-96). This is because it has been the official Federal policy to
withhold the truth about radiation exposures to the U.S. public since the
1950's for both military as well as private sector vested interests. So, we must
realize WE are the government, not the paper pushers or vested interests or
puppet masters who have taken up positions all throughout our government to
insure we are kept from the full truth. Don't get mad about all this, just get
educated. In the end, it is up to us to protect ourselves, our family, our
neighbors and our country.93, 94, 95, 96



In summary, what are the proper reference points that will tell us here and
now if low levels of any kind of radiation are potentially beneficial or harmful to
human tissues? These reference points derive from those discovered by Abram
Petkau, Gilbert N. Ling, and two other experts in BioEnergetics, relating to
EIGHT factors:31, 32, 33


Does te radiation level overwhelm the lipid antioxidant defenses of
the host's tissues (e.g., are toxic levels of malondialdehyde or MDA
produced and/or glutathione reserves depleted?). Or do the tissues
recover and demonstrate healthy cell or tissue regeneration alongside
optimal levels of functional lipid antioxidants (NAC, Glutathione,
CoQ10(H), Vitamin E, Omega 3 oils, etc...)?
Does th] radiation disrupt or improve aerobic metabolism of the
cell or tissue or lead to healthy cell or tissue regeneration which
displays optimal aerobic metabolism?
Does th] radiation improve the pH profile of the external and
internal milieu of the cell or tissue or lead to healthy cell or tissue
regeneration which displays optimal pH?
Does th] radiation improve the structured water (polarized
multilayers of water or PM water) within the cell or lead to healthy cell
or tissue regeneration which display optimal PM water?
Does the radiation improve or harm the normal spectrum of mineral
elements in the cell and their proper locations or lead to healthy cell or
tissue regeneration which displays optimal mineral reserves?
Does th] radiation improve or harm the special proline-rich-
peptides within cells that are the scaffolding to the PM water in the
cell or lead to healthy cell or tissue regeneration which displays
optimal proline-rich-peptide reserves?
Is the Phase Angle' of the body improved by the radiation exposure
or lead to healthy cell or tissue regeneration which displays optimal
Phase Angle?
And fially, is the negative millivolts of the cell and tissues
improved from the radiation exposure or lead to healthy cell or tissue
regeneration which displays optimal millivolts?



Physicists who doubt that man-made, low level radiation falling within
so-called: (A) "normal background radiation levels" or (B)
"permissible radiation levels" causes massive harm would serve the
general public very well by addressing the above questions. Until they
do, they stand on inadequately circumspect data points.83-89


Eclectic physicians often specialize in BioEnergetics, the Fourth Pillar to The
Regeneration Effect. And what these experts will tell you is that select low
levels of radiation that disrupt cell membranes will trigger attempts in tissues
to regenerate the damage, which is termed autophagy.49 Just enough
autophagy with just enough antioxidants and reserves of their respective
substrates (building blocks) and other essential factors like oxygen and you
are "In lig] Flint." But too much autophagy with too little antioxidants
or when coupled to conditions of hypoxia (low oxygen levels), and you start
generating vast numbers of premature cellular deaths, and over the longer
term cancer or devastating autoimmune disease. Most folks over 50 have
under saturated tissue levels of oxygen, so this is something we need to keep
in mind.43 Additionally, other stores of environmental toxins or unhelpful
lifestyles which include the standard American diet and smoking, will ensure
low level radiation exposure can only increase risks to chronic degenerative
diseases down the road. Perhaps most importantly, radioactive iodide may
easily disrupt thyroid function permanently. With chronic lower thyroid
hormone production, the risk to many chronic degenerative diseases
dramatically goes up. Unfortunately, conventional medicine has failed to date
to adequately appraise low thyroid conditions, so this only compounds
inadequacies in statistical analysis.(G)

Therefore, only looking at cancer death rates without looking into the other
diseases that can substitute in cancer's place, is misleading to say the least
when examining radiation hormesis.


As an Eclectic Physician, my foremost concern about my own knowledge base
is in regards to not knowing what I don't know about. It's one thing to know
you don't know about a critical issue, but it is an entirely different matter when
you don't know that you don't know about a critical issue. This is my blind
spot, and it serves me well to chip away at my blind spots by practicing the
Eclectic method as diligently as possible. The eclectic method is one of
developing insight to see reality as it truly is. Insight is by definition the ability
'to view or determine a truth' about a critical issue from as many points of
view at once, and that requires a team of trustworthy experts using the same
method who remain in communication with each other. That surpasses mere
reductionism (i.e., conventional sciences' current methodology), and extends
into gaining clinical results where conventional thinking and practices simply
fall short or fail, or are bound to fail by not preventing future catastrophic
health consequences, such as what is befalling us now with this incident at
Fukushima. That's who we are at the ICCTTM.



This being stated, how we have put this altogether (that is, what is actually
occurring at the cellular level and why some animals in certain situations of
radiation exposure may thrive while others die), is related to five things which
we can use to overcome the trace amounts of radioactive fall-out from
Fukushima. To us it all boils down to:

(A) The antioxidant capacity and potential (substrate reserves) of tissues,

(B) The steady or interrupted streams of free-radical formation (length of
exposure),

(C) The capacity of the host to repair (which includes all eight factors listed
above in bold),

(D) The prior cumulative stresses already present in the host, and

Q: What can I do now to protect myself from nuclear fall-out arriving
from the meltdown of Japan's nuclear power plants?
A: The good news is that we can protect ourselves now. And
furthermore, we may actually be able to use this incident to our
advantage to induce unscheduled healing, if we keep on top of it.

What we must all do now is to fortify our internal cellular milieu and bring
online our very own Regeneration Effect within. This turns the table in
regards to Claude Bernard's principle of Strict Determinism, and enables us
to achieve "what we damn well please" - that is - a favorable outcome.
Specifically, we may still enjoy life free from the threat of low level radiation
exposures, if we know exactly what to do. So let's begin...

SHORT TERM ANTIDOTES:


1. N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) is the most powerful short term quencher of
ionizing radiation. It is a nutrient, a simple amino acid from protein. For adults
(weighing above 150lbs) , it may be taken in dosages of 500mg to 600mg
daily for protection from toxic metals and other poisons. For younger adults
weighing 100lbs to 149lbs, 400mg to 500mg daily affords adequate protection
in most situations. In children weighing less than 100lbs, but above 50lbs,
200mg daily is a suitable dose. For infants, toddlers or children weighing less
than 50lbs, 50mg to 100mg daily may be used in juice, as long as no
sensitivity to NAC arises (i.e., light skin rashes). In this manner, NAC may be
used daily on an indefinite basis, as it is a harmless amino acid our bodies will
use to establish antioxidant defenses and aid the immune system. It is also an
adequate remover (i.e., chelator - from the Greek which means that which
"grabs onto or claws into") of toxic metals from the body, such as radioactive
cobalt and directly and indirectly uranium.44, 45, 46 Uranium is quite stubborn
about exiting without a fight and could require baking soda to speed things up
- see references at very end of page - plus melatonin.23 Liver protection from
fall-out radioisotopes like uranium, plutonium, etc... is nicely accomplished via
combining NAC + Sea Vegetables (see next) + Melatonin + Selenium +
small amounts of baking soda (see number 7 below for all advisories). Lastly
- rarely some adults are sensitive to NAC, so be aware of special advisories
regarding its long term use. In those cases, use high-quality Whey products.6,
7



2. Iodide is also a first line of defense mineral supplement, since it can out-
compete radioactive iodide from entering into our bodies.11 Kelp and other
seaweeds are also excellent chelators of toxic metals from the body,
especially if high fiber intake is also being incorporated into the diet.9, 10, 83,
84

Despite misinformation to the contrary, if you have no known allergy to
shellfish or iodide, rationale supplementation with iodide can be a good thing.
For average size adult women, daily Thyroid needs amount to 50mcg alone,
while breast tissues, ovaries and other tissues collectively require up to
3000mcg daily. For men, their intake should be at least 1,000mcg daily, unless
they are sensitive to the mineral.74, 75, 76 Eclectic physicians may use up to
ten times or more of the female dose to treat chronic fatigue and advanced
Fibromyalgia with great success,77 as well as to detoxify out of the system the
toxic halides bromide, chloride and fluoride.78

For example, individual tablets of Kelp, Irish Moss or Dulse typically
contain on average 200mcg of iodine. So, 5 tablets taken at once may equal
1,000mcg of iodine. If 5 tablets are taken at each meal, then the daily dose of
iodine from these sources alone would approach 3,000mcg daily. However as
referenced above, building up slowly to this level is essential, as iodine tends
to rinse out toxic body burdens of toxic fluoride, bromide and chlorine if
present. Therefore, when high levels of iodine are taken too quickly without
building up to optimal levels, these toxic elements may exit en mass too
quickly causing skin rashes, minor hair loss, or very rarely even asthmatic
reactions. Eclectic physicians will neutralize this sensitivity with up to 3,000mg
daily of Vitamin C.79 But by simply discontinuing the supplement for several
days, skin or hair issues should quickly clear up on their own. But if you do
experience anything more dramatic, check in with your doctor right away. So
always increase slowly and according to tolerance to avoid getting into this
kind of situation to begin with. Remember, iodine is an essential nutrient our
bodies must have every day to make adequate levels of essential hormones.

If sensitivities to iodine do surface, and then clear after discontinuing, and
you want to resume taking iodine supplements, check in with your doctor and
see if he or she will allow you to begin taking 3,000mg of Vitamin C daily, and
then give you the go-ahead to start with very small iodine of iodine daily (1/4
tablet daily). Slowly work up to a maximum of 1 tablet daily, and report to
your doctor if your tolerance to iodine at this level of intake is secure.
Gradually over time, most folks can up their dosage in this manner, although
more slowly than other people. Several months down the road, one initially
sensitive may find themselves able to take 400mcg to 1,000mcg daily if
patience rules the process. In the rare event any intake of iodide causes
resumption of symptoms, including minor hair loss, substitute Chlorella or
Spirulina below.



3. Chlorella (and other blue green algae) is a superior protector and
chelator of radioactive metals from the body and contains no less than 20
superior neutralizers to radioactive poisons. 5 per meal (250mg each or
1250mg per meal) is a great dose for adults, 3 per meal for young adults and
children, and 1 per meal for the very young. Make sure the Chlorella brand
you buy has the outer cell wall "cracked" for best absorption. More may be
taken, but it is suggested to never exceed 40 tablets daily for adults. Spirulina
is a very acceptable cheaper alternative, although the taste is more
objectionable for children.3, 4, 29



4. High quality bone meal (rich in Calcium & Strontium Hydroxyapatite)
will also protect against radioactive strontium poisoning and penetration of
uranium into bone. 3 per meal as labeled is suggested for adults, young adults
and children, and 1-2 per meal for the very young.12



5. Natural Vitamin E Complex - To stop cell membrane destruction. 800iu
per day is an excellent dose for average adults, and 400iu per day for young
adults and children. Toddlers and infants may be given 100iu per day in juice.
(Side Note: Krill Oil, CoQ10(H) and Melatonin are more powerful than Vit.
E, but also more expensive. See below...)



6. Consuming High fiber and seaweed dishes on a regular basis must be
used to maximize the best effects of the above tools. These will help insure
removal (chelation) of toxic radioactive metals from the body.



7. Baking soda - Should be taken only on rare occasions, that is, only if
exposures to uranium or plutonium can be confirmed, even in trace amounts,
for your area. Baking soda is an efficient means to remove these metals
quickly (especially uranium). There are several medical conditions which
contradict taking baking soda, so be sure you have doctor's clearance before
consuming baking soda. Taking baking soda once weekly should pose no
health threat if no other medical conditions are present which require
restriction of sodium intake. For adults with no medical contraindications, and
who have good reason to believe they have been exposed to traces of
radioactive fall-out, especially uranium, taking 1 teaspoon of baking soda in 1
cup water or juice up to seven (7) times daily on an empty stomach - on one
day out of every seven days - may be warranted. If you have a day of fasting
each week, or one of light eating, this would be the perfect day to perform this
procedure; but again, only if it has been confirmed you were likely exposed to
extremely low levels of the radioactive heavy metals such as uranium. Please
see the long list of abstracts regarding baking soda as an effective chelator of
radioactive elements at the very end of this document).14, 15



LONG TERM ANTIDOTES (for maintenance):
Bone Meal (protects against radioactive Strontium-90);
Chlorella (protects against most radioactive metals);
Kelp (protects against radioactive iodide and other radioactive metals);
Pectin from fruits and jams - sugar-free & artificial sweetener-free (protects
against Cesium-137);83
Probiotics - several billion per capsule per meal (protects against radioactive
Strontium-90);16, 17
Food grade Zeolite from reputable sources (more on this wonderful substance
in my upcoming book).101, 102, 103, 104

Professional Guidelines: In the unlikely event of an emergency
concerning acute radiation poisoning, baking soda may be used when
directly exposed to high levels of radioactive isotopes (Americium-
243/242/241, Barium-140, Cesium-137, Plutonium-244/239/238,
Strontium-90/89, Tellurium-132, Uranium-235/234, Yttrium-91/90,
etc...):

Under a doctor's supervision, baking soda coupled to the above are tools of choice to
remove these toxic metals from the body quickly.

For adults, up to 7 teaspoons of baking soda daily in divided dosages on an empty
stomach may be used short-term (over 6 consecutive days) to accomplish significant
decontamination, with route & rate of administration carefully considered by the physician.
Another acceptable dosage schedule is to perform the above every other day for two
weeks on, then resting for two weeks off of the baking soda schedule.

Now, couple this protocol to the lipid membrane protocol listed below with added probiotic
supplementation and as appropriate use Aloe, Noni juice and SAW with a strict diet of no
refined carbohydrates, and many of the most serious cases may gain lasting relief.7, 12,
14, 15, 21, 23, 25

Where run-a-way inflammation has taken hold, quadruple NAC intake & follow the natural
aspirin (80mg/day), omega 3 oils (3gm/Day or fish oils, or 1gm/day of Krill oil) & GLA (from
borage oil - 2gm/day) with cherry concentrate, curcumin (up to 2gm/day) and boswellia
(1gm/day), plus natural anti-histamines such as quercetin (250mg three times daily). See:
http://doctorapsley.com/AspirinandSynergistsforCancer.aspx.

In the extremely unlikely event of more grave situations, intravenous
administration of 5% baking soda (in 500cc), glutathione (2gm), reduced
CoQ10 (300mg), sodium ascorbate (10gm), Omega 3 oils (2gm), NAC (5gm)
and elemental selenium (1mg) as sodium selenite can be administered daily
over the course of a week or two, with good success where patient is incapable
of ingesting oral supplements.

Additionally, two herbal medicines which are very potent antidotes to high
radiation exposure are: high-quality Aloe vera juice 20 (for any radiation
burns, internal or external), and Noni juice 13 (Morinda citrifolia). Also,
eliminate all refined sugar from the diet.

Very importantly, bowel movements are key to removing offending
radioactive isotopes from the body and should utilize pectin or alginate
or chitin laden fiber products, and as possible, a series of colonics
utilizing 3% baking soda.

If skin exposure has been confirmed, then infrared saunas using niacin and
intense sweats are key, so long as the sweat can be collected on towels during
the twice daily 30 minute treatments which are properly disposed of.

Lastly, emerging evidence suggests that one species of structured water
(Fullerene-C60) may be able to protect normal cells from harmful effects of
radiation therapy while simultaneously enhancing results of radiation therapy.8
More studies are needed to confirm this theory.



Examples of Protection Schedules According to Body Weight &
Budgetary Allowances


Q: What is the one, least expensive method to protect oneself from
radioactive Fall-Out?
A: Eating an abundance of sea vegetables (all edible seaweeds) at
each meal (chewed well), while eliminating all refined foods,
especially sugar.9,10, 81 Sea vegetables are not only rich in iodine and
other trace elements, but also in chlorophyll, alginate and selenium,
substances very efficient at grabbing onto toxic metals and removing them
from the body. Chlorophyll also aids in repair to damaged tissues. The key is
liberating the goodies from sea vegetables, and cooking methods and blenders
are helpful in this regard. Alternatively, Kelp or Irish Moss (also known as
Bladderwart) or Dulse tablets can substitute for ingesting sea vegetables.

[SPECIAL NOTE # I: Most individual tablets of (1) Kelp, (2) Irish Moss
or (3) Dulse - regardless of brand - contain 200mcg of iodine, plus or
minus 50mcg. Each single tablet provides the minimal unit of which is
an acceptable starting dosage of intake for all, providing no sensitivity
to iodine is present. After all, these are simply tablets of sea
vegetables, which have been consumed by human beings for
millennia].

[SPECIAL NOTE # II: When sensitivity to iodine is an issue, and
Vitamin C does not calm the sensitivity,79 substitute the more
expensive (4) green-algae Chlorella (cell-wall cracked) or the lesser
expensive (5) blue-green algae Spirulina to safely intervene against
radioactive Fall-Out].34, 35, 36, 37


Q: What are the top two tools to protect oneself from initial stages of
radioactive Fall-Out?
A: NAC & Kelp (must not be allergic to shellfish or iodine. If allergic, switch off
of Kelp and onto Chlorella or Spirulina):


verage adults (weighing +150lbs): 500mg to 600mg NAC at breakfast,
and 5 Kelp tablets with each meal.
4oung adults and larger children (weighing 100lbs - 149lbs): 300mg
to 500mg NAC at breakfast, and 3 tablets of Kelp with each meal.
or smaller children (weighing 50lbs - 99lbs): 100mg to 250mg NAC at
breakfast, and 1 tablet of Kelp with each meal sprinkled into juice.
or the very young (weighing less than 50lbs): 50mg to 100mg NAC,
and 1 tablet Kelp daily sprinkled into juice.


Q: What are the top two least expensive tools to protect oneself from
initial stages of radioactive Fall-Out?
A: Kelp & Spirulina (plus high fiber foods such as raw apples, pears, grapes,
cherries, plums, blue berries, etc...).80, 81


verage adults (weighing +150lbs): 5 tablets of Kelp & 5 tablets
Spirulina with each meal.
4oung adults and larger children (weighing 100lbs - 149lbs): 3
tablets of Kelp & 3 tablets Spirulina with each meal.
or smaller children (weighing 50lbs - 99lbs): 1 tablet of Kelp & 1
tablet Chlorella(E) with each meal sprinkled into juice.
or the very young (weighing less than 50lbs): 1 tablet Kelp & 1 tablet
Chlorella daily sprinkled into juice.


Q: What are the top three tools to protect oneself from initial stages of
radioactive Fall-Out?
A: NAC, Kelp and Chlorella.


verage adults (weighing +150lbs): 500mg to 600mg NAC at breakfast,
5 Kelp tablets & 5 Chlorella tablets with each meal.
4oung adults and larger children (weighing 100lbs - 149lbs): 300mg
to 500mg NAC at breakfast, 3 tablets of Kelp & 3 Chlorella tablets with each
meal.
or smaller children (weighing 50lbs - 99lbs): 100mg to 200mg NAC at
breakfast, 1 tablet of Kelp & 1 tablet of Chlorella with each meal sprinkled into
juice.
or the very young (weighing less than 50lbs): 50mg to 100mg NAC, 1
tablet Kelp & 1 tablet Chlorella daily sprinkled into juice.


Q: What are the top four tools to protect oneself from initial stages of
radioactive Fall-Out?
A: NAC, Kelp, Chlorella and Krill Oil.


verage adults (weighing +150lbs): 500mg to 600mg NAC at breakfast,
5 Kelp tablets & 5 Chlorella tablets with each meal + 1 cap Krill Oil.
4oung adults and larger children (weighing 100lbs - 149lbs): 300mg
to 500mg NAC at breakfast, 3 tablets of Kelp & 3 Chlorella tablets with each
meal + 1 cap Krill Oil.
or smaller children (weighing 50lbs - 99lbs): 100mg to 250mg NAC at
breakfast, 1 tablet of Kelp & 1 tablet of Chlorella with each meal crushed &
sprinkled into juice + 1 cap Krill oil squeezed & blended into milk or juice.
or the very young (weighing less than 50lbs): 50mg to 100mg NAC, 1
tablet Kelp & 1 tablet Chlorella daily crushed & sprinkled into juice + 1 cap Krill
Oil squeezed & blended into milk or juice.




Q: If the lipid membranes are the core issue to The Petkau Effect, what
are the best tools to prevent membrane damage during initial stages
of contamination?

A: Many physicians would chose R-alpha lipoic acid (thioctic acid) as their first
choice since it will powerfully retard lipid membrane ionization. But
unfortunately, lipoic acid tends to bind metals and deposit them into the
nucleus of cells (as opposed to removing them from the body).24, 26
Therefore, it is best to use Krill oil, or 'reduced' co-enzyme Q10 [CoQ10(H)],
or Natural Vitamin E(D) and Melatonin to accomplish a better end result. Krill
oil, CoQ10(H) and Vitamin E would neutralize the ionizing effects onsite, while
Melatonin would also seek to safely remove the offending radioactive particle
from the body (via the bile route of elimination provided there is adequate
fiber).7, 21, 23, 25 In order of strength, Krill Oil reigns supreme, then
CoQ10(H), then Melatonin, and finally Vitamin E. But for the kinds of low dose
exposures North America is likely to receive, natural Vitamin E complex should
provide adequate protection if taken ahead of exposures. Melatonin is a
superior multitasking nutrient and so serves purposes beyond the others.
Therefore, this is a prudent tool to include if budget allows. In summary,
budget prudently for the suggested schedules below, and if necessary,
eliminate Krill oil in favor of Vitamin E, eliminate NAC in favor of extra
Chlorella, and substitute Spirulina over Chlorella to save money as necessary.


Average adults (weighing +150lbs): 500mg to 600mg NAC + 800iu
Natural Vit. E at breakfast + 1 cap Krill oil; 5 Kelp tablets, 5 Chlorella tablets
with each meal; and 10mg Melatonin at bedtime.
Young adults and larger children (weighing 100lbs - 149lbs): 300mg
to 500mg NAC + 400iu Natural Vit. E at breakfast + 1 cap Krill oil; 3 tablets of
Kelp & 3 Chlorella tablets with each meal, and 3mg Melatonin at bedtime.
For smaller children (weighing 50lbs - 99lbs): 100mg to 250mg NAC +
200iu Natural Vit. E at breakfast + 1 cap Krill oil squeezed & mixed into milk or
juice; 1 tablet of Kelp & 1 tablet of Chlorella with each meal; and 1mg
Melatonin at bedtime.
For the very young (weighing less than 50lbs): 50mg to 100mg NAC,
100iu Natural Vit. E, 1 cap Krill Oil squeezed & mixed into milk or juice, 1
tablet Kelp & 1 tablet Chlorella daily sprinkled into juice; and 500mcg chewable
Melatonin at bedtime.

Q: If I am pregnant or am a nursing mother, what can I do to antidote
my exposures to radiation without harming my baby?

A: This is a great subject. If you have good reason to believe you are being

take 3mg of Melatonin at bedtime.
If after three days of taking above, no nausea or other discomfort arises if
you are pregnant, or no mild skin rash or colic arises in your nursing baby, or
any other suspicious symptom, you may remain at this final schedule
indefinitely... If problems arise, discontinue until symptoms abate and resume
the Ninth Schedule.

The above schedules are designed to build intracellular glutathione stores via
melatonin, selenium and NAC rapidly over time - the key molecule the body uses
to eliminate radioactive metals through the bile - plus adequate antioxidant
reserves such as Vitamin E which defend against lipid and genetic associated free-
radicals.23, 48 The above list of nutrients also doubles as valuable nutritional
items that all human beings can use, providing no allergy or sensitivity arises with
their use.

Q: What can I do to antidote my exposures to radiation therapy for my cancer?
A: Radiation toxicity from any source, including the after effects of radioablative
therapy, can be detoxified or lessened and even reversed by the use of colloidal
Regeneration Factors or cRFsTM.38, 39, 40, 65 Just be sure to take after
radioablative therapy has completed or is placed on hold. cRFsTM derive from
select raw foods which contain high amounts of RNA or nucleoproteins as found
in organ meats, nuts & seeds, sprouts, food-grade algae and bee pollen.(C) Folks
who tend to get gouty cannot take high amounts of these select foods sources,
but usually can handle some intake providing the source is raw and not cooked.
For example, food grade algae products, which are raw, can serve such folks well
if lots of SAW is being ingested as well. All protocols for diet under this website
are high in these factors, i.e., SAW plus RNA-cRFsTM.

For an average size adult, the foremost factors one should focus on to
reduce the toxic after affects from radioablative therapy are:


A. NAC (as above);6
B. Chlorophyll (found in sea vegetables, and richest in Chlorella or Spirulina - 5
per meal for adults);3, 4

C. cRFsTM - As found in Chlorella, Spirulina and organic organ meats such as
liver, spleen and thymus in freeze-dried format. When taking capsules of organic
glandulars without algae products as above, up to a combined 12 to 18
capsules per day for an average adult is optimal. When taking with algae products
according to the above dosages, cut this amount in 1/2);1, 2, 65
D. Krill oil or Vitamin E Complex (including delta and gamma tocopherols and
tocotrienols taken as above). Krill oil is 300 times more powerful than Vitamin E
and 34 times more powerful than CoQ10 for reducing free-radical damage,
mainly to cellular lipid membranes in the body;7, 21, 27, 28, 65
E. Lipoic acid as R-alpha lipoic acid (100mg three times daily for adults, 100mg
daily for young adults and children, 25mg - 50mg daily for the very young - when
no toxic metal particles are involved - just gamma rays);7
F. Melatonin (1mg to 20mg at bedtime for adults, 1mg to 3mg for children and
young adults respectively);5

G. Reduced CoQ10 or Ubiquinol (100mg daily for adults, 50mg per day for smaller
adults and children, 25mg daily for the very young);7, 21
H. Vitamin C and Quercetin (1,000mg three times daily and 100mg three times
daily respectively);7, 21
I. Organic Selenium as selenomethionate or when grown into kelp or other foods
(400mcg - 600mcg daily for adults, 200mcg - 400mcg daily for young adults,
200mcg daily for children, 50mcg - 100mcg daily for the very young).21
J. Probiotics (1 per meal) + high-grade Aloe (1 ounce of liquid taken with each
meal or 1 capsule of 200X - with Aloin removed).


In some cases, the intestinal tract can become severely irritated from
combinations of chemotherapy with radiation therapy. For such cases, some of
the above items may further irritate the gut, such as too much Vitamin C.
Shifting emphasis to cRFsTM, Omega 3 oils, and chlorophyll (all especially rich
in green and blue-green algae products), plus probiotics, high quality whey
products and digestive enzymes may be essential to properly recover for the
long term. The key is to isolate individual nutrients one at a time if any group
of them induces more gut irritation. Play process of elimination, and you can
often figure out what really works for you. If any confusion remains, your
holistic trained doctor can adjust the above dosages down or up according to
your weight.


Dividing dosages of NAC into smaller amounts:
Simply take one capsule of NAC and pour it into an exact amount of water. For
example, with 500mg capsules, use 5 ounces of water, and for 600mg
capsules use 6 ounces of water. Then take the exact amount of NAC you need
according to the number of ounces you need per meal to achieve your
objectives according to body weight. Refrigerate the remainder of NAC water in
between meals to preserve freshness.



Strongly suggested additions to the diet:
All manner and selections of sea vegetables (seaweed dishes) are the first
choice along with washed organic fruits.9, 10, 80, 81, 83

Washing of fruits and vegetables:
If fruits or vegetables are suspected to have been exposed to Fall-Out,
washing them with water and baking soda should remove the particles on the
skin of the fruits. Simply mix two tablespoons per pint of water for a
rinse, and that should pull off most of the radioactive particles clinging
to the outer skin. Once these radioactive particles enter into the food supply
chain, they will be absorbed into the fruit or vegetable. This is why it is
essential in my view to be regular about taking daily supplementation as
suggested above, and according to your doctor's instructions, since it is proven
we can both protect and then remove radioactive particles efficiently from our
bodies once absorbed.84



Always restore the body's own self-healing system first. Then the
"footing" of all other natural healing tools employed will have the
advantage of driving forward from the high-ground. cRFsTM are key to
this strategy when dealing with all radiation toxicity situations, as is
abundant SAW and plenty of fresh air. With so much to gain, and so
little to lose, why not at least consider a sound maintenance schedule
for you and your family?

Patrick Reid of ALARA Research, Inc. addressed the following question related
to the explosive potential of the outer coating to the
Chernobyl fuel rods - Zirconium oxide (also known as Zircaloy)...
Q: "Did the following reaction (which is presumably exothermic above 1800
Celsius) occur during the Chornobyl explosion? 2(H2O) + Zr --> ZrO2 +
2(H2)."
A: "The exothermic Zircaloy-steam reaction is exothermic for all
temperatures. The reaction rate becomes of some importance in typical CANDU
accident analysis for temperatures >~1200 C. There is a
significant increase in the reaction rate at ~1500 C, above which the
reaction can "take off" under conditions in which the supply of oxygen is
sufficient. Such takeoff will lead to temperature escalation
which is not terminated until either the Zircaloy is totally consumed,
significant heat transfer is provided to the Zircaloy, or the reaction becomes
oxygen starved."

(J). So called normal background radiation levels are stated to be 2.4
millisieverts (2.4 mSv) per year, or 0.24 rems per year. Put another way,
normal levels of background radiation we are exposed to average
0.00017 mSv to 0.00039 mSv per hour according to the Worl Nuclear
Association. For comparision, an average CAT scan exposes a person to 6.9
mSv, or 0.69 rems. See: Reuters. How much radiation is
dangerous? Tokyo, March 27, 2011; First Published: 15:49
IST(27/3/2011); Last Updated: 15:51 IST(27/3/2011). (Sources: Taiwan

(K). In Tokyo, CNN reported on March 25th that at least 17 workers at the
Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant had been exposed to over 100 mSv of
radiation; and three were exposed in less than 1 hour to over
170 mSv of radiation. For practical purposes, 1 rad equals 1 rem which
equals 10 mSv. Linear model of risks from exposures to radiation rays (not
applicable to tissue adsorbed particles) established by
the U.S. EPA:
5 rems to 10 rems equals 50 mSv to 100 mSv. These levels of exposure
cause unhealthy changes to blood chemistry;
50 rems equals 500 mSv. These levels of exposure cause nausea within
hours after exposure and damage to the lymphatic system (spleen, bone
marrow & lymph nodes);
70 rems equals 700 mSv. These levels of exposure cause immediate
vomiting and more extensive damage to the lymphatic system;
75 rems equals 750 mSv. These levels of exposure cause immediate
vomiting and hair loss within 2-3 weeks and more profound damage to the
lymphatic system;
90 rems equals 900 mSv. These levels of exposure cause immediate
vomiting, later diarrhea, then hair loss within 2-3 weeks and more profound
damage to the lymphatic system;
100 rems equals 1,000 mSv. These levels of exposure cause all of the
above plus hemorrhage (spontaneous bleeding) of most affected tissues, either
externally or internally;
400 rems equals 4,000 mSv. Frequently death results, but may be
aggressively treated to prevent death;
1,000 rems equals 10,000 mSv. Massive destruction of intestinal tract and
massive internal bleeding, commonly resulting in death within 1-2 weeks;
2,000 rems equals 20,000 mSv. Immediate massive brain damage and
loss of consciousness within minutes. Fatal within hours.

(L). There are 23 GE Mark1 Boiling Water Reactors in the U.S. of the same
design as those at Fukushima. Prior to 1980, due to concerns about a complete
meltdown of such reactors, the Atomic Energy Commission reported in its
WASH-740-Update: "The possible size of the area of such a disaster might be
equal to that of the State of Pennsylvania."

Suppression of 125I-uptake in mouse thyroid by seaweed feeding:
possible preventative effect of dietary seaweed on internal radiation
injury of the thyroid by radioactive iodine.

Maruyama H, Yamamoto I.
Department of Pathology, Kitasato University School of Hygienic Sciences,
Kanagawa, Japan.


Abstract
We conducted an animal experiment to determine how dietary seaweeds rich
in iodine and dietary fibers suppress radioactive iodine uptake by the thyroid,
using mice and four kinds of experimental diets, three with 1% or 2%
powdered fronds of the kelp Laminaria religiosa and 2% powdered laver
Porphyra yezoensis, and one with cellulose. Iodine content of a hot-water
extract of the kelp was 0.530 +/- 0.001%, and its dietary fiber (DF) values
were 52.8 +/- 1.2%. Iodine in an extract of the laver was 0.008 +/- 0.001%,
and its DF values were 41.4% +/- 0.7%. A statistically significant reduction of
125I uptake by the thyroid, 3 hours after intragastric administration of the
radionuclide at a dosage of 18.5 kBq or 185 kBq in 0.3 ml aqueous solution per
mouse, was observed in mice previously fed the experimental diets containing
1% and 2% kelp during periods varying from 24 hours to 7 days. The degree
of the suppression was observed to depend on the amount of iodine in the diet
or in the injected sample, no matter whether organic or inorganic, judging
from the results of an additional experiment. Thus, we conclude that
previously fed iodine-rich material, especially dietary seaweeds rich in
iodine and other minerals, vitamins, and beta-carotene, such as kelps
or laver supplemented with inorganic iodine, may be effective in
prevention of internal radiation injury of the thyroid. PMID: 1344008

Suppression of radioactive strontium absorption by sodium alginate in
animals and human subjects.

Institute of Radiation Medicine, Beijing, China.


Abstract
The effect of 23 sodium alginate preparations from different species of algae
(Sargassum sp.) and kelp (Laminaria sp.) on reducing the absorption of
strontium was studied in detail. A pilot production procedure has been
established. Na alginate from S. siliquastrum was proven to be a potent agent
for reducing Sr absorption, with high efficiency and virtually no toxicity. It
reduced the body burden of strontium 3.3-4.2 fold in rats. Strontium
absorption in human subjects was reduced by 78% (+/- 8.9) or completely
suppressed the increase of serum Sr at 2 h after ingestion of stable Sr in
volunteers and decrease 24 h urine Sr to similar extent. No undesirable effects
on gastrointestinal function was observed nor were Ca, Fe, Cu and Zn
metabolism changed, both in the animal experiments and in human. It was
concluded that alginate preparations derived from Sargassum species
are a suitable antidote against radiostrontium absorption on a long-
term basis, when added to bread at a 6% level. In cases of emergency,
an alginate syrup preparation appears to be more suitable because of
its rapid action. PMID: 1764217

Abstract
Tens of thousands of Chernobyl children (mostly from Belarus) annually leave
to receive treatment and health care in other countries. Doctors from many
countries gratuitously work in the Chernobyl contaminated territories, helping
to minimize the consequences of this most terrible technologic catastrophe in
history. But the scale and spectrum of the consequences are so high, that no
country in the world can cope alone with the long-term consequences of such a
catastrophe as Chernobyl. The countries that have suffered the most,
especially Ukraine and Belarus, extend gratitude for the help that has come
through the United Nations and other international organizations, as well as
from private funds and initiatives. Twenty-two years after the Chernobyl
releases, the annual individual dose limit in heavily contaminated territories of
Belarus, Ukraine, and European Russia exceed 1 mSv/year just because of the
unavoidable consumption of locally contaminated products. The 11-year
experience of the BELRAD Institute shows that for effective radiation protection
it is necessary to establish the interference level for children at 30% of the
official dangerous limit (i.e., 15-20 Bq/kg). The direct whole body counting
measurements of Cs-137 accumulation in the bodies of inhabitants of
the heavily contaminated Belarussian region shows that the official
Dose Catalogue underestimates the annual dose burdens by three to
eight times. For practical reasons the curative-like use of apple-pectin
food additives might be especially helpful for effective decorporation
of Cs-137. From 1996 to 2007 a total of more than 160,000
Belarussian children received pectin food additives during 18 to 25
days of treatment (5 g twice a day). As a result, levels of Cs-137 in
children's organs decreased after each course of pectin additives by an
average of 30 to 40%. Manufacture and application of various pectin-
based food additives and drinks (using apples, currants, grapes, sea
seaweed, etc.) is one of the most effective ways for individual
radioprotection (through decorporation) under circumstances where
consumption of radioactively contaminated food is unavoidable. PMID:

Abstract


After the Chernobyl reactor accident wide areas of Belarus were contaminated
with radioactive fallout. The verification and documentation of the long-term
development of radiation doses is still going on. A population group of special
concern are the children living in contaminated regions. The annual dose limit
of 1 mSv is still exceeded in some cases, essentially due to high body burdens
of 137Cs as indicated by screening measurements with portable incorporation
monitors. In this situation the evaluation of possible dose reduction measures
in addition to the control of food contamination is being investigated. Special
attention is given to the therapeutic application of a pectin preparation
(Vitapect), for which a dose-lowering effect is presumed by Belarusian
scientists. In a placebo-controlled double-blind study, several groups of
contaminated children received a pectin compound named Vitapect for a two-
week period during their stay in a sanatorium. For comparison the same
number of control groups were given a placebo preparation. The 137Cs body
burden of the children was measured at the beginning and the end.
The mean relative reduction of the specific activity within the Vitapect
groups was found to be approximately 33%, whereas the specific
activity of the children who received a placebo decreased only by
approximately 14%, due to clean food supply. It is known that pectins
chemically bind cations like cesium in the gastrointestinal tract and
thereby increase faecal excretion. Theoretical calculations based on this
assumption and considering metabolism processes are qualitatively consistent
with the experimentally found retention of radiocesium in the human body
after pectin treatment. PMID: 17314090

Abstract
Antioxidants mitigate radiation-induced lethality when started soon after
radiation exposure, a delivery time that may not be practical due to difficulties
in distribution and because the oral administration of such agents may require
a delay beyond the prodromal stage of the radiation syndrome. We report the
unexpected finding that antioxidant supplementation starting 24 h after total-
body irradiation resulted in better survival than antioxidant supplementation
started soon after the irradiation. The antioxidant dietary supplement was l-
selenomethionine, sodium ascorbate, N-acetyl cysteine, alpha-lipoic acid,
alpha-tocopherol succinate, and co-enzyme Q10. Total-body irradiation with 8
Gy in the absence of antioxidant supplementation was lethal by day 16. When
antioxidant supplementation was started soon after irradiation, four of 14 mice
survived. In contrast, 14 of 18 mice receiving antioxidant supplementation
starting 24 h after irradiation were alive and well 30 days later. The numbers
of spleen colonies and blood cells were higher in mice receiving antioxidant
supplementation starting 24 h after irradiation than in mice receiving radiation
alone. A diet supplemented with antioxidants administered starting 24 h
after total-body irradiation improved bone marrow cell survival and
mitigated lethality, with a radiation protection factor of approximately
1.18. PMID: 20334518

Abstract
PURPOSE: To investigate the protective effect of immune-enhanced diet (IED)
on chemoradiation-induced injury of the gastrointestinal mucosa.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were divided
into control (C, n=6), irradiation (IR, n=14), fluoropyrimidine (5-FU, n=14)-
treated, IR + 5-FU (n=14)-treated groups. Half of each irradiated and/or 5-
FU-treated groups were previously fed with IED containing arginine,
omega-3-fatty acids and RNA fragments, while the other half were fed a
standard rat diet (SD) for eight days before the induction of IR or injection of
5-FU. In IR groups, whole abdominal irradiation (11 Gy) was performed with 6
MV photons. In the 5-FU groups, fluoropyrimidine (100 mg/kg) was
administered intraperitoneally 30 min prior to irradiation. All animals were
sacrificed on the 4th day of IR or 5-FU injection.
RESULTS: Bacterial colony counts in the ceca and mesenteric lymph nodes of
IED-fed rats, which have received either 5-FU and/or irradiation were
significantly lower than the corresponding SD-fed groups. Morphometric results
revealed that gastric, ileal and colonic injuries were less in IED-treated IR or IR
+ 5-FU + IED groups, as compared to SD-fed groups. However, IED did not
alter DNA fragmentation ratios.
CONCLUSION: Prophylactic feeding of IED has a protective effect on
chemoradiation-induced gastrointestinal injury, which appears to
involve the eradication of bacterial overgrowth. PMID: 20653343

Abstract
Within the framework of a Coordinated Research Project (CRP) organized by
the International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, the daily dietary intakes of
seven elements by adult populations living in nine Asian countries were
estimated. The countries that participated in the study were Bangladesh,
China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea (Republic of
Korea, ROK), and Vietnam and together they represented more than half of
the world population. The seven elements studied were calcium, cesium,
iodine, potassium, strontium, thorium, and uranium. These elements have
chemical and biological similarity to some of the radionuclides abundantly
encountered during nuclear power production and therefore data on these
elements could provide important information on their biokinetic behavior.
Analyses of diet samples for these seven elements were carried out using
highly sensitive and reliable analytical techniques. One thousand one hundred
and sixty analytical determinations were made on two hundred and twenty
samples of typical diets consumed in these countries to estimate the daily
intakes of these elements by the adult Asian population. The median daily
dietary intakes for the adult Asian population were found to be 0.45 g calcium,
7 microg cesium, 90 microg iodine, 1.75 g potassium, 1.65 mg strontium, 1
microg thorium, and 1 microg uranium. When compared with the intakes
proposed for ICRP Reference Man by International Commission for Radiological
Protection, these intakes were lower by factors of 0.41 for calcium, 0.7 for
cesium, 0.45 for iodine, 0.53 for potassium, 0.87 for strontium, 0.33 for
thorium, and 0.52 for uranium. The lower daily intakes of calcium, cesium, and
iodine by Asian population could be due to significantly lower consumption of
milk and milk products, which are rich in these elements. The significantly
lower intake of calcium in most of the Asian countries may lead to
higher uptake of fission nuclide 90Sr and could result in perhaps
higher internal radiation dose. The use of highly sensitive and reliable
analytical methods resulted in accurate and lower intake values obtained for
thorium and uranium, which suggest that radiation dose from their ingestion at
natural background levels is likely to be lower than what may be concluded
from ICRP data. PMID: 15167119

Absorption of strontium from the gastrointestinal tract into plasma in
healthy human adults.

SENES, Oak Ridge, Inc, TN 37830, USA. iulian@senes.com


Abstract
The radioactive isotopes of strontium have always been a major concern in
radiation protection. Currently, radiostrontium is of interest for evaluation of
the health effects of the Chernobyl accident and for epidemiological studies in
populations exposed to releases from the Mayak nuclear facilities in Russia.
Ingestion is one of the most important exposure pathways involving
radioactive strontium. The main sources of published data on the fraction of
the ingested strontium that is transferred to plasma (f1) are summarized. For
some of these studies, the original data had to be reanalyzed and a new
iterative method to account for the elimination in feces of strontium of
endogenous origin (i.e., that was absorbed to blood and has already been
returned into feces) was employed. Data indicate no significant dependence of
the absorbed fraction on sex or age at exposure within the adult group, but
absorption of (radioactive) strontium is reduced if the intake of stable
calcium is very high and is enhanced if the intake of calcium is very
low. The probability distribution function of f1 values is well represented by a
lognormal curve with a geometric mean of 22.3% and a geometric standard
deviation of 1.44 (95% confidence interval 10.9% to 45.6%, or about a factor
of 2 around the geometric mean). This distribution can be considered
representative for the variability of the f1 values in a population of healthy
adults. PMID: 12075684

Abstract
Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine), the chief secretory product of the
pineal gland in the brain, is well known for its functional versatility. In
hundreds of investigations, melatonin has been documented as a direct free
radical scavenger and an indirect antioxidant, as well as an important
immunomodulatory agent. The radical scavenging ability of melatonin is
believed to work via electron donation to detoxify a variety of reactive oxygen
and nitrogen species, including the highly toxic hydroxyl radical. It has long
been recognized that the damaging effects of ionizing radiation are brought
about by both direct and indirect mechanisms. The direct action produces
disruption of sensitive molecules in the cells, whereas the indirect effects (
approximately 70%) result from its interaction with water molecules, which
results in the production of highly reactive free radicals such as *OH, *H, and
e(aq)- and their subsequent action on subcellular structures. The hydroxyl
radical scavenging ability of melatonin was used as a rationale to determine its
radioprotective efficiency. Indeed, the results from many in vitro and in vivo
investigations have confirmed that melatonin protects mammalian cells from
the toxic effects of ionizing radiation. Furthermore, several clinical reports
indicate that melatonin administration, either alone or in combination with
traditional radiotherapy, results in a favorable efficacy:toxicity ratio during the
treatment of human cancers. This article reviews the literature from
laboratory investigations that document the ability of melatonin to
scavenge a variety of free radicals (including the hydroxyl radical

Abstract
There are three kinds of plants, Morinda officinalis (1), Damnacanthus
officinarum (2), and Schisandra propinqua (3) whose roots have been used
since the ancient time. In this paper, some of their pharmacological actions
that are related to tonifying and invigorating Yang were examined and
compared. The body weight, the thymus weight, the amount of leukocyte in
the blood, and the continuing swimming times of the young mice could be
increased with the oral administration of the water extractions of (1) and (2)
(P less than 0.05-0.001). The Rt of M-receptor in the brains of the
hypothyroidism mice were decreased after administration of the water extracts
of (1) and (2) (P less than 0.05). (1) could also increased the amount of
leukocyte in the blood of leukocytopenia mice caused by radiation of gamma-
ray (P less than 0.01). (3) has not shown the obvious effects (P greater than
0.05). The results indicate that (1) and (2) have the ability of anti-
fatigue, improving the immunological action of the young mice, and
reducing the excitability of the para-sympathetic nervous system of
the hypothyroidism mice through decreasing the Rt of M-receptor in
their brains. All of them did not show acute toxicity, inducing
mutation, and sexual hormone like actions. PMID: 1914038

Abstract
Nowadays, phytogenous drugs are wildly used as radio protective substances.
The aim of the research was to study radio protective characteristics
of aloe juice fraction and to develop new technology for radio
protective drug production. Technological scheme for getting the drug in
two stages. The first stage - extraction of juice from fresh leaves; the second
stage - extracting bagasse have been developed and optimal environment for
bagasse extraction are defined: Infusion of bagasse with 96 % ethyl spirit
(1:1) during 30 minutes, continuation of extracting with water on correlation
to raw materials 10:1 at temperature of 70 degrees C during 30 minutes. For
the basis of the first series of balanced loading there are taken the optimal
parameters of extracting process, on the basis of which in its turn was
developed technological scheme of getting dry extract of aloe. Dry extract is a
fine-dispersed reddish-yellow (brownish-yellow) powder, which can be easily
dissolved in warm (40-60 degrees C) water. Pharmacological researches were
conducted in the Institute of General and Experimental Biology, Siberian
Branch, Russian. Academy of Sciences. The remarkable radio protective
effect of the drug was revealed. PMID: 19578223

Abstract
The UVA-irradiation of 10 J/cm(2) on HaCaT keratinocytes increased 59.1% of
the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) by NBT assay and the cell
viability decreased to 31.5% by WST-1 assay, comparing to the non-irradiated
control. In the presence of fullerene-C60 (C60) incorporated in phospholipid
membrane vehicle (LiposomeFullerene: Lpsm-Flln) of 250-500 ppm, they were
restored to -9.1% to +2.3% of the ROS and 83.0-84.8% of the cell viability,
but scarcely restored by the liposome without C60 (Lpsm). In HaCaT cells
administered with Lpsm-Flln (150 ppm), C60 was ingested at the intracellular
concentrations of 1.4-21.9 ppm for 4-24 h, and, intracellular C60 was excreted
by 80% at 4h after rinsing-out, and decreased to 2-10% after 24-48 h. C60
was predominantly distributed around the outside of nuclear membrane
without deterioration of intact cell morphology according to fluorescent
immunostain. Thus Lpsm-Flln is found to be an effective antioxidant
that could preserve HaCaT keratinocytes against UVA-induced cellular
injury. Lpsm-Flln has a potential to serve as a cosmetic material for
skin protection against UVA. Copyright 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights

Abstract
Radiotherapy-induced toxicity is a major dose-limiting factor in anti-cancer
treatment. Ionizing radiation leads to the formation of reactive oxygen and
nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) that are associated with radiation-induced cell
death. Investigations of biological effects of fullerenol have provided evidence
for its ROS/RNS scavenger properties in vitro and radioprotective efficiency in
vivo. Therefore we were interested to evaluate its radioprotective properties in
vitro in the human erythroleukemia cell line. Pre-treatment of irradiated cells
by fullerenol exerted statistically significant effects on cell numbers and the
response of antioxidative enzymes to X-ray irradiation-induced oxidative stress
in cells. Our study provides evidence that the pre-treatment with
fullerenol enhanced the enzymatic activity of superoxide dismutase
and glutathione peroxidase in irradiated K562 cells. PMID: 18285660

A study of the acidosis, blood urea, and plasma chlorides in uranium
nephritis in the dog, and of the protective action of sodium bicarbonate.

Goto K.



Abstract

Methods: The presence of an acidosis in dogs with experimental uranium
nephritis is demonstrable by the Van Slyke-Stillman-Cullen method and that of
Marriott. It is detected more readily by the former method. This acidosis is
associated with increase in the blood urea and plasma chlorides and with the
appearance of albumin and casts in the urine. Results: The oral administration
of sodium bicarbonate diminishes the acidosis, the increase in plasma
chlorides, the amount of albumin and casts in the urine, and, to a lesser
degree, the increase in the blood urea following the administration of uranium.
It also diminishes the severity of the changes produced by uranium in the
kidneys. Conclusions: The oral administration of sodium bicarbonate to
normal dogs raises the carbon dioxide content of the plasma as
determined by the Van Slyke-Stillman-Cullen method, and reduces the
nephrotoxicity associated with uranium exposure in dogs.

Abstract
Radionucleides can penetrate into the body via the lung, the digestive tract,
wounds and sometimes through healthy skin. Once they have penetrated the
body, they can either remain localized at the site of entry or be rapidly
metabolized. The risk is late effects. Radioelements must be eliminated as
rapidly as possible decreasing the exposure proportionally. The effectiveness of
the treatment depends on early institution. Nevertheless, emergency intensive
care or surgery may be required. As soon as possible, explorations must be
carried out to evaluate the level of contamination (human spectrometry,
radiotoxicological examinations) and to start treatment. Modalities include
non-specific techniques (lavage, insolubilization, laxatives) and
specific techniques such as complexation or isotopic dilution (iodine
for iodine, Prussian blue for cesium, DTPA for plutonium, Diamox or
sodium bicarbonate for uranium). Surgical cleaning of wounds and burns is
an excellent means of decontamination. External contamination is often
associated. Further contamination must be prevented immediately. PMID:

Efficacy of 3,4,3-LIHOPO for reducing the retention of uranium in rat
after acute administration.

Abstract
Decorporation therapy is the only known effective method of reducing the
radiation dose to persons following accidental internal contamination with
transportable radionuclides. Deposits of actinides in bone should be minimized
because development of osteosarcoma appears to be related to internal
exposure. In contrast with other actinides, such as plutonium or americium
where chelating agent treatment is efficient, the therapeuric approaches used
for cases of uranium contamination are widely ineffective. This is the first
report on in vivo efficacy of a chelating agent, a siderophore analogue code
named 3,4,3-LIHOPO, after systematic exposure to natural uranium in the rat.
Using the classical antidotal therapy (sodium bicarbonate) for comparison, this
ligand has been investigated for its ability to remove uranium from rats after
intravenous or intramuscular injection as nitrate. Following an immediate
single intramuscular or intravenous injection of 3,4,3-LIHOPO (30 mumol.kg-1)
urinary excretion of uranium was greatly enhanced with a corresponding
reduction 24 h later in kidney and bone uranium content (to about 20 and 50%
of the control rat respectively). Under identical experimental conditions,
sodium bicarbonate (640 mumol.kg-1) reduced the uranium content in
kidney in kidney and bone only to about 90 and 70% of controls
respectively, and there was less enhancement of uranium excretion.
However, when treatment was delayed by 30 min and administered
intraperitoneally, there was no marked difference in retention and
excretion of uranium between the two compounds. As this ligand showed
no apparent irreversible toxicity at effective dosages, it is concluded that the
administration of the 3,4,3-LIHOPO chelating agent represents potentially a
most significant advance for prompt treatment of uranium contamination,
while a more detailed investigation is necessary on the possible advantage
when treatment delayed. PMID: 7594963

Abstract
Acetazolamide was compared with bicarbonate for the treatment of
contamination with uranium. Uranium was injected peritoneally in rats, and its
distribution was investigated. Acetazolamide was three times more efficient
than bicarbonate in reducing the renal content of uranium. On the other hand,
it had no effect on hepatic or skeletal content. In this study, renal physiology
provides the basis for understanding the mode of action of acetazolamide and
bicarbonate. In this context, it is of interest to determine the alkalinity
of the urine, with the aim of knowing whether bicarbonate is present
to mobilize uranium. PMID: 10520511

Alkaline induces metallothionein gene expression and potentiates cell
proliferation in Chinese hamster ovary cells.

Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan.


Abstract
Metallothionein (MT) gene expression is increased in cadmium resistant
Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO Cd(R)) upon medium (regular or serum-
free) change during culturing. Among the major components of the medium,
NaHCO3 was found to be able to induce MT gene expression in a dose-
and time-dependent manner. The same effect was observed with other
alkaline solutions, such as HEPES and NaOH. Using MT promoter-luciferase
reporter gene constructs, we found that the presence of metal response
elements (MREs) in the promoter region is necessary for NaHCO3-induced MT
gene transcription. This finding is further supported by the observation that the
binding activity between the metal-responsive transcription factor 1 (MTF-1)
and the MRE were increased after NaHCO3 treatment. Following NaHCO3
treatment, an increase in cell proliferation was observed in CdR cells but not in
the parental CHO K1 cells that do not express MT transcripts due to MT gene
methylation. Using synchronized cells, an increase in cell proliferation was
observed 9 h after NaHCO3 addition. Notably, proliferation of CHO K1 cells was
increased when transfected with an MT gene. The effect of MT on cell growth
was affirmed by treating CHO K1 cells with 5-azacytidine (Aza) to demethylate
the MT gene. Proliferation increased in Aza-treated CHO K1 cells after NaHCO3
treatment. These results demonstrate that NaHCO3 stimulates MT gene
expression and causes an enhancement of cell proliferation in CHO cells. (c)

Effects of 12 metal ions on iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP-1) and
hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1alpha) and HIF-regulated genes.

Medicine, 57 Old Forge Road, NY 10987, USA.

Abstract
Several metal ions that are carcinogenic affect cellular iron homeostasis by
competing with iron transporters or iron-regulated enzymes. Some metal ions
can mimic a hypoxia response in cells under normal oxygen tension, and
induce expression of HIF-1alpha-regulated genes. This study investigated
whether 12 metal ions altered iron homeostasis in human lung carcinoma A549
cells as measured by an activation of IRP-1 and ferritin level. We also studied
hypoxia signaling by measuring HIF-1alpha protein levels, hypoxia response
element (HRE)-driven luciferase reporter activity, and Cap43 protein level (an
HIF-1alpha responsive gene). Our results show the following: (i) Ni(II), Co(II),
V(V), Mn(II), and to a lesser extent As(III) and Cu(II) activated the binding of
IRP-1 to IRE after 24 h, while the other metal ions had no effect; (ii) 10 of 12
metal ions induced HIF-1alpha protein but to strikingly different degrees. Two
of these metal ions, Al(III) and Cd(II), did not induce HIF-1alpha protein;
however, as indicated below, only Ni(II), Co (II), and to lesser extent Mn(II)
and V(V) activated HIF-1alpha-dependent transcription. The combined effects
of both [Ni(II) + As(III)] and [Ni(II) + Cr(VI)] on HIF-1alpha protein were
synergistic; (iii) Addition of Fe(II) with Ni(II), Co(II), and Cr(VI) attenuated
the induction of HIF-1alpha after 4 h treatment; (iv) Ni(II), Co(II), and Mn(II)
significantly decrease ferritin level after 24 h exposure; (v) Ni(II), Co(II), V(V),
and Mn(II) activated HRE reporter gene after 20 h treatment; (vi) Ni(II),
Co(II), V(V), and Mn(II) increased the HIF-1-dependent Cap43 protein level
after 24 h treatment. In conclusion, only Ni (II), Co (II), and to a lesser extent
Mn(II) and V(V) significantly stabilized HIF-1alpha protein, activated IRP,
decreased the levels of ferritin, induced the transcription of HIF-dependent
reporter, and increased the expression of Cap43 protein levels (HIF-dependent
gene). The mechanism for the significant stabilization and elevation of HIF-
1alpha protein which drives these other parameters was previously shown by
us and others to involve a loss of cellular Fe as well as inhibition of HIF-1alpha-
dependent prolyl hydroxylases which target the binding of VHL ubiquitin ligase
and degrade HIF-1alpha. Even though there were small effects of some of the
other metals on IRP and HIF-1alpha, downstream effects of HIF-1alpha
activation and therefore robust hypoxia signaling were only observed with
Ni(II), Co(II), and to much lesser extents with Mn(II) and V(V) in human
A549 lung cells. It is of interest that the metal ions that were most
effective in activating hypoxia signaling were the ones that were poor
inducers of metallothionein protein and also decreased Ferritin levels,
since both of these proteins can bind metal ions and protect the cell
against toxicity in human lung cells. It is important to study effects of these
metals in human lung cells since this represents a major route of human
environmental and occupational exposure to these metal ions. PMID: 16386771

Radiation Toxicity Antidotes
(C) 2010 by John W. Apsley, II, MD(E), DC - www.doctorapsley.com

Here Eou will learn:
What radioactive elements are the threa4 from Fukushima
What the Government i ot telling you
What is T] Petkau Effect
What are the specific health risks to yE4 & your family
What the sequence to these threats will be over 4e next 5 years
What histoE has taught us
What misinformation ae e being told?
What you & your family can easily and effectively do to potentially
overcome these risks
NOW!

Q: What specifically is arriving in the air we breathe and unto U.S. soils
and water supplies from radioactive Fall-Out emanating from
Fukushima's nuclear power plant meltdown?
A: Right alongside the biologically significant levels of Iodide-131 arriving onto
our shores, the extremely low levels of radioactive metals Cesium-137,
Strontium-90, Tellurium-132, and Yttrium-91/90 are of primary concern over
the short term. Americium-243/241, Barium-140, Plutonium-244/240/239/238
and Uranium-235/234 are of secondary concern over the long term.(H)

At points along where the molecule-size radioactive particles lodge in
our bone marrow and organs - even in extremely low levels due to The
Petkau Effect - there will be an immediate, sustained, minuscule,
lethal tissue ionization (via lipid peroxides). Over the short-term, this
especially impacts our immune system and hormonal producing
pathways, insidiously injuring and even killing the very young and
old.18 As time goes on and we absorb more and more trace amounts
of radioactive particles from contaminated air, water and food, this is
akin to undergoing millions or even billions of internal paper cuts
24/7. Unless our tissues posses adequate reserves of antioxidants and
innate resistance, over decades this will resurrect itself into deranged genetic
behavior (via mutated DNA), dramatically increasing the risks for developing
cancer.19, 86

All exposures to radiation from all sources become cumulative in our body.
There is no safe level of radiation exposure. Our body's ability to cope with it is
called our innate resistance to radiation. Humans are not designed to handle
even the lowest doses of radiation without it potentially overloading our innate
resistance. But there are ways to boost our innate resistance that can make all
the difference if we knew the full scope, types and context of our exposures.

Full Scope:
This information should contain, per capita, the day by day, week by week,
month by month, and year by year quantities of radioactive Fall-Out per
county or region. In this fashion, we can determine what our daily schedule
must be for including overall quantites of antioxidants added into our diet. See
below under "What History Has Taught Us" and the section following
pertaining to "Misinformation and Misapplied Science" to understand what
we actually mean in regards to the Full Scope of our exposure.

Types:
This information should contain the specific source(s) of the radiation and
make clear distinctions between any differing sources of radiation. In this case,
the Fukushima Fall-Out contains exact elements, and we must now deal with
each separately. So we need to know their respective toxic properties, where
they tend to specifically accumulate in the body, and what specific antidotes
for each work most effectively. Think of it this way - types of radiation come
from different sources of radiation, which prefer to collect in specifc areas of
out body, and each has specific antidotes.
Furthermore, it is critical not to confuse emissions or rays of radiation
coming from medical diagnostic testing with Fall-Out particles which produce
rays or radiation. For example, some official spokespersons like to compare
low level daily exposures of Fall-Out from Fukushima here in the U.S. to a
single dental x-ray. When in reality, both are two different types of radiation
entirely. This is akin to comparing apples to oranges. For example, radioactive
particles of Fall-Out once lodged into the lungs or intestinal tract, keep
bombarding us with radiation 24/7 as opposed to a simple one time dental x-
ray only bombards us once and for a few milliseconds.
Lastly, some types of radiation target specific tissues or glands over
other areas. Picking just the right antioxidant or dietary tools that most
antidotes as well as efficiently removes each specifc kind is essential (see
next).

Context:
This information should contain the impact of the above upon our tissues and
organs as unique individuals. We are all a bit different from one another. That
is, how will our innate resistance be impacted according to the short term and
long term toxicity of the above in the context of our sex, age, medical history,
nutrient profile and lifestyle?
For example, radiation at low levels first harms the fatty membranes in
our cells over the short term via lipid peroxidation. Certain lifestyles can
exascerbate this; other lifestyles help cope with it if internal reserves of lipid
antixodants abound.
But over the long term, our DNA becomes the target of embedded
radioactive particles, coupled to cumulative exposures including medical X-
rays. So, the longer we live, the more the threat. We we know the secrets to
aging Age can mean a big difference here, with those folks mature and leading
a healthy lifestyle and who use a nutritious diet better positioned to stavve off
the genetic damage. For others, cancer is the key risk and regenerative
techniques must be put into play as soon as possible (see the "Four Pillars"
sub-tab under the "Home" page).
In other words, differing kinds of damage require different kinds of
antidotes to effectively reverse radioactive damage. One group of antioxidants
that protects our fatty membranes, and one group of antioxidants that protect
our genetic core. Another set of antoxidants can specifically intervene at the
gland or tissue involved, such as the thyroid galnd, while another set can
provide for the most efficient means to escort out the specific offending
radioactive particle out of our body.
Also, context is about not confusing low level exposures with high level
exposures. Both have toxic impacts independent of each other. Low level
radiation can be much more harmful than higher levels of radiation. Or, in
some cases as with the unfortunate workers at Fukushima, high level radiation
will be more harmful than their low level exposures.
Lastly, both high and low levels of exposure to radiation are cumulative.
Many low level exposures over a given set of time, may be unrecognized as
harmful if the cumulative amont is the only guide post used. For example, if
the person's internal reserves of antioxidants is low, or their innate resistance
to radiation is low, then that person will experience greater harm than a
person undergoing the same expsoure who has a higher innate resistance from
having higher reserves of internal antioxidants.

In Review:
Tragically, our Government is not giving us the full scope, types and context of
our current dilemma, only general statements which are often over-simplistic,
confusing and/or out of context. In fact the very nature in which our
Government has huddled around the issue of military and industrial nuclear
energy makes it impossible it could ever be honest and completely forthcoming
with the American public.93
We need the dirty details so we can bend fear into insight and then take
appropriate, timely action through proper understanding. But for decades the
apparatus put in place in our Government has been contrary to such
communicatons. Most importantly, no information is being provided covering
the risks to low level radiation when our tissues become embedded with tiny
amounts of radioactive nanoparticles. Instead we are simply told levels are too
low to be concerned about. What hogwash!85-89, 96, 98-100
These nanoparticles keep emitting their radiation constantly - 24/7,
something not being discussed and leads the general public into a false sense
of security. In reality, these gaps of open, honest discussions in place of
shunning our responsibility to do the right thing has dire consequences within
our Government. In this manner we have all been enablers fostering our
Government to shift into a Nanny State mentality and modus operandi. That's
why we now only receive these official, carefully crafted, mass media
pronouncements that amount to hollow wordsmithing reciting unscientific
constructs. In place of wordsmithing bullet points that are only meant to
placate the unsuspecting and niave, we must demand from our servants in the
government to cease and desist all the mumbo-jumbo. We must insist upon
immediate dialogue which openly and honestly discusses The Petkau
Effect. Only then can we discuss at the national level the most
effective means to deal with counter-measures that may make all the
difference for both the short term as well as the long term. 1-7, 20, 21,
34-40, 80-84, 104

For scientists, the Petkau Effect may be illustrated as follows:18, 22, 64

A long term exposure of extremely low radiation (i.e., one-ten millionth of a
rad per minute) was found to be 100 BILLION times MORE lethal than a short
term exposure to exceedingly high level radiation (i.e., 10,000 rads per
minute). As it turns out, Petkau discovered that at exceedingly high radiation
levels, the abundant free radicals generated in tissues tended to cancel each
other out before they could do cellular damage. But at extremely low levels of
radiation, these same free radicals - produced in minuscule quantities - remain
unchecked. And any steady stream of unchecked free-radicals will efficiently
and lethally cleave lipid cellular membranes like a hot knife slicing through
butter once they overwhelm and exhaust cellular antioxidant defenses. This
dramatically illustrates the non-linear aspects of dose (rads) to lethality. Most
scientists specializing in the field of nuclear medicine are unaware of this fact.
And most think strictly in terms of genetic damage, while the above presents
its lethal affects upon cell membranes and only secondarily to the genetic
core.

Q: What is the no-spin truth regarding our health risks arising from
this radioactive Fall-Out?
A: For the short term: The Petkau Effect is a "must know subject" so that we
can effectively combat this new threat to our health and protect our children
without fear. We can do this; we just have to get ourselves properly informed
to the no-spin truth, and then go to work to solve this crisis with select
nutrients rich in antioxidants and special regenerative repair factors proven to
be highly effective against radiation poisoning. Examples of short term health
threa4 pertain to:18
Pregnant women for p]mature births;
Our infants for pneumonia, influenza and septicemia (i.e., up to 900%
greater death rate from normal in regions
receiving the most low dose Fall-Out - see Dr. Sternglass q4Ete below);
and
Our adults and senior citizens most at risk for immune deficiency crises.
A: Over the long term: Cesium-137 will concentrate in the fatty tissues,
Iodine-131 in the thyroid gland, breast tissues and ovaries, Strontium-90
and Uranium-235/234 in the bone, and Uranium-235/234 and Plutonium-244
in the liver. Even to this very day, the children in Belarus are suffering from
toxic overloads of Cesium-137 in their bodies due to the 1986 Chernobyl
incident.83, 84 Examples of long term health threats specificCly pertain to:

Our children for thyroid cancer, leukemia and learning d]ects;85, 88, 99

Our women for breast cancer (i.e., only 18% of American women live within
100 miles of nuclear power plants, yet this small group accounts for 55% of all
breast cancer case in the U.S.);117
Our general population for various forms of chronic degenerative diseases,
including the crippling neurological diseases.70, 72
To avoid this, these radioactive metals need to be removed from our tissues
just as fast as they arrive. So, keep reading! For further example, we must
think both in terms of initial impact, as well as long term impact on mortality
(death) and morbidity (injury) rates.

Initial Impact:
We have a great deal of lessons learned from the case related to the April
1986 Chernobyl incident concerning a single reactor's complete meltdown. If I
were defining stages to a meltdown, I would use the following guide)nes:(I),
110-113
Phase I Meltdown is when hydrogen gases build up to the extent that the
outer containment structure explodes or vents large amounts of steam
containing
lower molecular weight radioactive isotopes, i.e., Iodide-131; Cesium-137,
Strontium-90 andEr Tellurium-132.
Phase II Meltdown is when the outer coatings to the fuel rods (Zircaloy)
exceed 2000oF, and the inner most containment structure cracks and starts
seeping
heavier elements into the environment, i.e., Barium-140, Plutonium-
244/240/239/238, and/o Uranium-235/234.
Phase III Meltdown is when the Zircaloy ignites causing an explosion,
resulting in a global catastrophic event because the most lethal of all
radioactive
isotopes, Plutonium-244/240/239/238 and/or Uranium-235/234 are
jetisoned high into the atmosphere, and proceed to contaminate across the
globe.
We now know that as of March 16th, Fukushima's nuclear reactor units 1, 2 &
3 have all experienced at least Phase I Meltdown, and since Plutonium has
been detected in the outer environment, one or more Units is likely to have
experienced a Phase II Meltdown according to the above criteria.119 Plus we
have fuel rods in non-containment shielded pools of water at Units 4, 5 & 6.
These are also potentially prone to release toxic radioactive isotopes or
possibly explode if water levels should fall and expose these rods to open air
for sufficient time periods (see National Academy of Science report: NAS3-15-
05.pdf). Phase I Meltdown has occurred at least in Unit 4.

The only difference the pundits may now debate is related to the fact that
these exposed reactor cores and exposed fuel rods have yet to suffer a
powerful secondary Zirconium oxide (Zircaloy) explosion as Chernobyl appears
to have undergone back in April of 1986.(I)

Regardless, Chernobyl's immediate aftermath as experienced here in the U.S.
during the year following the incident was meticulously compiled by a top U.S.
expert in the Fall of 1987. And for his efforts, he was blacklisted:(B), 41
"(Dr. Ernest J. Sternglass of the University of Pittsburgh) presented at
the First Global Radiation Victims Conference in New York in
September 1987, impressively conveyed the seriousness of the
radiation problem. The infant mortality rate following the arrival of the
Chernobyl fallout in early May of 1986 showed a 54% increase in June
1986 in the Pacific region of the United States. Washington State had
the highest rate in the region with a 245% increase in deaths per
thousand live births. California was next highest with a 48% increase
in infant mortality as compared to June of the year before. These high
rates lasted for July and August. Massachusetts led the nation in post-
Chernobyl increase of infant mortality rate with an increase of 900%
per thousand live births! Massachusetts also had a decline of 70% in
newborns. The rate of live births also decreased throughout the
country in response to the Chernobyl fallout. The US fertility rate
decreased 8.3% in July and August to the lowest level ever observed
in United States history."
Long Term Impact:
But the long term impact of the Chernobyl incident is even more devastating
as has been recently brought to light by two independent research groups.
Here in the U.S., the Radiation And Public Health Project (RPHP) organization,
a not-for-profit group comprised of renown researchers in the field of nuclear-
related epidemiology, has comprehensively compiled the death rates due to
the 1986 Fall-Out over a decade or more.88, 100 And in 2007, The New York
Academy of Sciences published a report from Russian investigators on the
corresponding Eastern European holocust.99 Together, these two respective
groups document that the collective U.S. and European death toll from this
single event has now surpassed two (2) million and continues to grow due to
the ongoing food chain contamination issue!

In Review:
According to the best evidence to date pertaining to North America,
over the next five (5) years this may/will lead to significantly greater
risks to:(A), (B), ., 19, 22, 85, 88
Pregnant women for Oremature births;
Our infants for pneumonia, influen=C and septicemia;
Our children for thyroid cancer, leukemia and earning defects;
Our women Er breast cancer;
Our adults and senior citizens most at risk for immune defi])ency crises;
and
Our general population for various forms of chronic degenerative diseases
including autoimmune diseases as well (more on this to follow shortly).

Bending Fear Into Insight


Q: What is the sequence to these risks we will face in the coming days
from this radioactive Fall-Out?
A: The Fall-Out will present in THREE forms or threats to our health:


1. The first will be the immediate airborne threat over the next several weeks
heading into the U.S. For comparative analysis that may pertain to fall-out
coming out of a Fukushima Meltdown, John Christensen working as a staff
scientist in Berkeley Labs Earth Sciences Division has co-authored a study
describing how lead pollution travels from Asia to the U.S.. His research -
based in part upon photos taken by NASA's Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view
Sensor - was recently published in the journal Environmental Science &
Technology (see fallout map to immediate left).42



For up to the date tracking updates, see:

133_;region=NH



We are now concerned with the most lethal radioactive particles should they
become airborne. Since Reactor Units 1, 2 & 3 all experienced hydrogen
explosions prior to March 14, we know that the outer coating to the fuel rods
had become overheated.112 The outer coating is composed of Zirconium oxide
which when combined to steam is exothermic at all termperatures.(I) At
temperatures below 2,000oF, this metal-steam combo releases vast amounts
of hydrogen, which caused the initial super-pressure explosions.111 At the
same time, this event also released airborne Iodide-131, Cesium-137/134, and
Tellurium-132107 likely in sufficient quantities to initiate The Petkau Effect in
both animals and humans for thousands of miles downwind once the particles
embed into their respective host tissues.

@ normal criticality or normal flux of neutron energy < 1200oC then:
2(H2O) + Zr --> ZrO2 + 2(H2) --> releases vast amounts of hydrogen gas



However, if these fuel rods become exposed to open air because of a coolant
leak, high-intensity meltdown of the core initiates. Temperatures would quickly
surpass the previous ranges, and could easily set up the big one. For example,
if temperatures exceed 1500oC or 2,732oF (which is possible since high-
intensity meltdown temperatures - due to low coolents or low water - easily
approach 5,000oF), Zircaloy becomes highly ignitable in the presence of
super-heated steam and adequate oxygen.(I), 113 So, when water is
finally added back into the picture, bingo...



@ prompt criticality or high-flux of neutron energy ("takeoff"
threshold) > 1500oC then: 2(H2O) + Zr --> ZrO2 + 2(H2) --> super
heated ZrO2 + O2 --> ingition --> explosion --> nanoparticle release
of radioactive elements, most alarmingly Plutonium-240/239/238.



This would not be a small explosion like we saw on T.V., this would be much
more powerful. Why?



Collectively, these fuel rods contain lots of Zircaloy which could translate into
quite an explosion. Most nuclear power plants have between 20 to 25 tons of
total Zircaloy on site, but because Fukushima has 6 Reactors, we may be
looking at closer to 100 tons of this explosive material now at risk.110 An
explosion of such magnitude, especially if it involved Fukushima Reactor Unit
3, would likely cause a global catastrophic event. This is because the fuel rods
in Unit 3 are enriched with Plutonium (MOX fuel rods). If that happens, due to
the extreme toxic effects from inhaling plutonium (it is perhaps one of the
most toxic substances known), cancer death rates would skyrocket across
much of the world, despite offical propaganda bullet points which try to
minimize the concerns.120 And most unfortunately for Japan, an area the size
of Pennsylvania outward from Fukushima would likely become uninhabitable
for thousands of years.(L)



Such an event would give The Petkau Effect a whole new meaning. Hopefully,
secondary explosions of Zircaloy itself will be prevented. To that end, the
world's largest cement pumps are now underway to Fukushima (as of April
1st). Just as with Chernobyl, this may be the only way to contain or prevent
the secondary explosions many times more lethal than the first salvo.118 So,
what of the initial salvo of explosions?



Depending upon which "starting date" you use (the date of the first detection
of radioactive cesium being airborne or when helicopter crews from the USS
Ronald Reagan were first documented to have been exposed, i.e., March 14th,
2011), we can expect the West Coast of the U.S. to begin to receive at least
minimal fallout within 7 to 10 days or possibly on the weekend of March 18th -
20th, 2011.



This may mean that by the 1st of April, the entire region of North America
will have undergone the first round of Fall-Out exposure, even if at
undetectable levels in many areas. As the upper air currents traveling in
excess of 80 knots per hour repetitively cycle around the globe over and over
again, the stock of radioactive airborne materials will fall out as part of normal
rain fall or as simple dust particles. At these rates of speed, once the Fall-Out
enters into the Jet Stream, the below graphic strongly supports an arrival of
the first tier of Fall-Out into the U.S. Western shoreline for the weekend of
March 18th - 20th.



In fact, it has just been confirmed as of Friday, March 18th, 2011, that low
levels of radiation above normal have reached our Western shores.



See:
http://www.canada.com/sports/radiation+detected+west+coast/446425
1/story.html



More specifically, students at the University of Washington are now
documenting Fall-Out in the NW. They have found radioactive Cesium-
137/134, Iodide-133/132/131, and Tellurium-132 to date.



See: http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/26571/



And as of March 24th, students at University of California in San Fransisco had
collected rainwater containing levels of radioactive Iodide-131 18,100% above
legal EPA limits.121



Next, as of March 29th, the BBC reported that radioactive Iodide-131 has been
detected in the U.K., 6,000 miles due West of Japan (meaning the Jet Stream,
which goes from West to East, brought this radioactivity from Japan and into
the U.K. soils over a distance of 18,000 miles).92



So, as of April 1st, 2011, what is the real story? Well, it appears we have three
official versions. This is further confused by the fact that we are likely dealing
with not just one Reactor core which has partially breached, but perhaps the
cores to Reactor Units 1, 2 & 3 in all.



First off, as of March 29th, Fukushima Reactor Unit 2 was reported to have
undergone at the very least a partial meltdown - meaning containment has
been lost. This event was initially measured by workers of the plant's
operators - Tokyo Electric Power Company or TEPCO, as leaking radiation 10
MILLION times greater than normal.108 Leakage of Plutonium-240/239/238
would be consistent with such high amounts of detected radiation, even if
present in highly limited areas in and around the plant.



Within hours, higher up TEPCO officials recanted, and stated the release was
closer to 100,000 times normal radiation levels.105



Still later in the week, this figure was lowered once again to just 10,000 times
over the normal radiation levels.109



And as of the afternoon on April 1st, PST, TEPCO officials now claim the latest
10,000 figure is also inaccurate.116



Then we add to this the statements that 17 workers at Fukushima were
exposed to a high, but non-lethal dose of radiation, and that three of them
were exposed to almost double the amount as the others, but still in the non-
lethal range.(K) So, what happens next? After a delay of several days, family
members start reporting to the press that their son or daughter who worked at
Fukushima during this crisis are now expected to die.118



Now each of these workers are required by law to wear a dose badge (called a
dosimeter), which detects total radiation exposure. Obviously there is a
disconnect between the badges of these folks, and the translation of the data
to the press by the official spokespersons.



This begs the question, if you are really not trying to cover-up the seriousness
of the problem, why not just take more comprehensive measurements and
solve the issue? Or is the entire area covering Reactor Units 1, 2 & 3 simply
too toxic to put humans into harm's way? And if that is the case, as is likely,
why not simply use Robotics, something the Japanese are famous for? For now
(April 1st), no one is saying. Well except for this as of April 3rd - TEPCO now
says it's software must have a glitch because the readings are simply too high
for their in-house scientists to believe. Really? What this unmistakably leaves
us with is that TEPCO and Japanese officials appear to be resorting to
conjecture, denial, pitiful excuses, or worse, a cover-up conspiracy.



And some of these arguments aiding the conjecture or cover-up can be quite
clever. For example, some officials are claiming that if the 10 million times
above normal level was an accurate reading, then other radioactive isotopes
should be present that have not yet been reported. Well, if they are not taking
accurate radiation level measurements, how can they expect to conduct a
thorough scan for all the possible differing radioactive isotopes?



Notwithstanding, to date, Iodide-131, Cesium-137, Tellurium-132 and
Plutonium-240/239/238 have all been detected in and around the nuclear
power plant with the exception of Tellurium-132, which was detected in Fall-
Out at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. The tracking for Xenon-
133 (a leading indicator for tracking Fall-Out patterns) would help to indicate
what the likely track is for the lighter radioactive elements as just listed (see
below-right).106, 107



The presence of Plutonium-240/239/238 presents some real issues, most
importantly, what is its source? The best guess at present is that the highly
toxic MOX fuel rods found exclusively in Reactor Unit 3, which contain
relatively high levels of Plutonium,114 have suffered at least partial meltdown,
and this is the source of the Plutonium in and around Fukushima.



Finally, although the heavier radioactive nuclei are less prone to going airborne
without an explosion, for the extremely small nanoparticles it is not
inconceivable for radioactive nuclei like Americium-243/242/241, Plutonium-
244/240/239/238 and Uranium-235/234 to get airborne and reach the
Western shores of the U.S. as early as April 5th or 6th in trace amounts.
So, we had better get prepared NOW.90, 91



Furthermore, you can now join a Nationwide effort to track this Fall-Out
on an amateur basis. See: http://www.radiationnetwork.com/



2. The next threat will be when it enters into our water supply and food chain
over the many weeks and perhaps months ahead, which will be most likely
related to Cesium-137 and Strontium-90 - both with half lives of
approximately 30 years.



3. The last threat stems from the extremely low levels of radiation which
become ever present due to radioactive materials burrowing into our tissues.
This will be by far the more deadly and insidious form of radiation poisoning
to those living in North America, and is properly called The Petkau Effect. The
Petkau Effect is in many ways identical to what happens when underground
fires ignite and cannot be extinguished. Indeed, there are locations around the
world where abandoned coal mines went ablaze and simply cannot be put out.
Some of these have smoldered slowly out of control for 30 years or more. The
same may occur within our very own bodies when radioactive Iodide-131,
Cesium-137, Strontium-90 and Tellurium-132 enter our lungs as we breathe or
in through our digestive tract when we eat or drink contaminated foods or
water.(A), 22



In other words, unless you are a worker at a damaged nuclear power plant, or
live within a few miles of Fukushima, for now you don't need to worry about
acute spikes in radiation which are fleeting, since few will ever experience such
an event.(K) You should be concerned about tiny scattered particles that settle
into our tissues undetected, and not worry about amounts sufficient to trigger
Geiger Counter alarms going off at airport check stations. The tiny amounts of
exposure which are more likely to occur give off constant ionizing radiation
that burns us at the molecular level over many years before causing a
diagnosable issue.19



Also, the cloth-paper masks that many people use around their faces are
useless to protect from these tiny particles. Sorry folks! You would need
advanced charcoal filters that are quite bulky and more expensive to achieve
any meaningful "up-front" protection for your lungs. Therefore, be forewarned
that any official positions claiming that, "only low levels of radiation have been
detected and therefore pose no real health threat to the American public," are
suspect and should be viewed as phraseology more properly akin to either
misinformation or outright propaganda.(B), 18



For example, at least one nuclear physicist appearing on a cable news channel
on March 18th has already reported that the amount of radiation that has
landed on U.S. soil would expose those proximal to it to "about the same
amount of radiation we receive when we get a single dental X-ray." Well,
excuse me, but once we ingest these particles, they continuously bombard
us with radiation for days, weeks, months and even years before being
eliminated. This is totally unlike that of a single dental X-ray which only
exposes us to a one time milliseconds of exposure. Obviously this scientist
has not yet taken the time to review The Petkau Effect.



No doubt many scientists will continue to compare apples to oranges by
comparing diagnostic X-ray exposures to trace particles entering into our food
chain and then our bodies from Fukushima Fall-Out. Or worse, is to hear our
officials make statements to the effect that, "Only low levels of radiation have
been detected, and these are well within government 'permissible'
standards which poses no risk to the general public." All these
comparisons or standards are the hallmark of unscientific constructs,
since the government readily admits there is no such thing as safe levels of
radiation.66 Most importantly, to my knowledge no one has compared The
Petkau Effect, rad for rad, against extremely short diagnostic X-ray exposures
in side by side tissue or animal studies. As clearly stated above, lethality is
not linear in terms of dose of rads when The Petkau Effect is in play.

Putting The Petkau Effect aside for the moment, all additional amounts of
radiation compound the already harmful levels in the environment. Since: (A)
the start of the first above ground nuclear bomb testing (1950's & 60's), and
then later from (B) the contributions of secret nuclear reactor radioactive
releases and accidents (1970's up to the present day), collectively their
radioactive Fall-Out isotopes influence our environment and food chain - via
their half-life - for (C) decades (i.e., Cesium-137, Strontium-90, Tellurium-132
and Yttrium-91/90), and then furthermore for (D) hundreds and even tens of
thousands of years (i.e., Americium-243/241, Plutonium-244 and Uranium-
235/234).(H), 66

In Review:
So now we clearly see and understand:
(A) What the current threats are,
(B) How to track them, and
(C) For over what duration must we stay focused on them, enabling us
to approach them one by one with...
(D) Real, permanent solutions.

Q: What has history already taught us that is essential for us to know
to superimposed upon the above understandings?
A: History has taught us to "hope for the best," but "plan for the
worst" and to educate oneself better than the politicians or their official
scientific spokespersons!

Since WWII, over 555,000 TRILLION picocuries of radiation have been released
into the Earth's biosphere much of it with a highly toxic half life exceeding tens
of thousands of years.(H), 18 Thanks to this release of radiation into the global
food chain, plus modern day exposures from all sources, the average human
being contains 250,000 picocuries of radiation on any given day. And we are
constantly adding in more. For example, an average glass of beer contains 390
picocuries.114

A picocurie is simply a specific amount or unit of radiation coming off any
source that is radioactive. When radiation enters into a life form like human
beings, it impacts the biology of that life form. Here in the U.S., the biological
impact of picocuries upon our tissues is also given in specific amounts or units
called rems.

Normal background radiation is said to be 0.24 rems per year. Yet, the
average U.S. citizen from many man-made as well as natural sources receives
0.36 rems of radiation annually. For example, just one CAT Scan can add 0.69
rems into our tissue at one time. So, we are already receiving above normal
background radiation levels before we become exposed to further accidents
like Fukushima. Therefore, the next time any pundit says you are just going to
receive new amounts of radiation below the normal background levels, realize
this will add on top of your body's current radiation burden. Now here is the
kicker. There is no "safe" level of radiation.66 Any new amounts added into
our systems that invoke The Petkau Effect is playing Russian Roulette. Only by
fortifying our innate resistance do we have the opportunity to check or
neutralize this continuous life long threat.

When one considers the emerging evidence linking so many autoimmune
diseases to environmental toxic exposures (including within war zones69) and
UV radiation, this helps to explain the dramatic rise, for example, not only of
Cancer, but also Hashimoto's Disease,51 Hypothyroidism Type 2, Diabetes
Type 2,50 Colitis, Crohn's Disease, Lupus, Scleroderma, ALS,72, 73 MS,52
R.A., Osteoporosis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Universal Allergic
Reactors, Alzheimer's Disease, infertility, Autism, Low Birth Weight, the rise in
Birth Defects, Infant Failure to Thrive Syndromes (i.e., SIDS), etc...53, 54
With the exception of radon, specific links to endemics of autoimmune diseases
and environmental regions of radioactivity are not being investigated or
reported out of our government agencies, nor their official designated scientific
agencies, which suggests a policy of cover-up.(B) Only emerging independent
studies performed by not-for-profit dedicated scientists track these
associations with cancer in humans which may arise from chronic, low level
radiation poisoning.(B), (F) The under reporting of untoward effects stemming
out of the Chernobyl incident is a classic example.


For example, attempts have been made to grossly underestimate the death
rate from the Chernobyl incident, down to just 31 individuals!97 So,
let's get this straight... U.S. cancer rates - into the tens of thousands -
are much higher within a 100 mile radius of fully operational, intact,
nuclear power plants as opposed to areas free from nuclear power
plants, and yet a complete meltdown with an explosion occurring at a
Russian nuclear power plant caused only 31 deaths??? See graph to immediate
right.117 Russians must really be super human indeed. (In real truth,
according to comprehensive research published by The New York
Academy of Sciences in 2007, that low-ball figure was raised to
985,000 deaths attributable to the Chernobyl incident, which included
the greater regions affected in the Ukraine, Belarus and pertaining Russian
territories.)98, 99

In Review:
Now like no other time in human history, we must consume daily doses of
select antioxidants and the building blocks to our internal antioxidant enzymes
just to keep ahead of this destructive radioactive body burden. In this
manner we may keep our innate resistance at optimal functional levels.

See: www.radiation.org for further information.


Q: What other misinformation or misapplied science is being reported
by the main stream pundits?
A: Many scientists enlisted as expert spokespersons in the mass media
are either intentionally or unintentionally confusing similar scientific
phenomena as identical scientific phenomena.

Currently there are a group of esteemed physicists who are suggesting that
low levels of radiation from multiple sources, can be beneficial. They are citing
some very compelling evidence which suggests that cancer rates can actually
go down, not up, with long term, low level exposures to toxic radioactive nuclei
such as Cobalt-60 or Cesium-137. They also link this kind of radiation to the
principles of "hormesis" something of which Eclectic Physicians are quite
familiar with. And finally, they cite mineral rich hot springs which are known to
emit low level radiation from a naturally occurring radioisotope called radon.30
In fact it is true that the hot springs in Attica, Lesvos and Ikaria Greece, and in
the Misasa Hot Springs District of Japan are renown for spontaneous healings
arising from proper use of these therapeutic waters. These springs typically
present short term exposures to folks, and with levels of radon that have been
naturally encountered by human beings for millennia. However, harmful
sequelae appear to be associated with (A) longer exposure periods coupled to
(B) higher levels of mixed radioactive contaminants (i.e., Uranium-244 plus
radon), a sign of possible cumulative deleterious effects.56. 57, 58, 59, 60, 61

This illustrates what happens when nuclear physicists are looking in the wrong
direction, even if for the right reason. Chernobyl and Fukushima are not
identical in any way to natural radon exposures found in therapeutic hot
springs. But their respective Fall-Out could compound the effects of the natural
radon emissions in unknown ways. So, we must avoid forming premature
conclusions which are not applicable to the actual, full scale context of this
latest incident. Therefore in my book, there is no such thing as safe, low level
exposures to "man-made" sources of radiation.(F), 55, 66


Indeed, to date, I am unaware of any positive health benefits attributable to
the Chernobyl incident or exposures to depleted uranium (DU) such as
happened in the U.S. Gulf-Wars.67, 68, 69, 70, 71 If any do exist, please send
me the reports. I am aware of at least one report of how wild animals in and
around Chernobyl have made a comeback, but I find it uncompelling. For
example, after Reindeer herds which inhabited Chernobyl's fall-out zones ate
contaminated lichen, they all were exterminated because of their exceedingly
high tissue levels of Cesium-137, and this is still a serious problem for the
children in the region today.63, 82, 83, 84

Additionally, radiation has a way of hiding its inherent lethality over many
years for those wishing to rush through their studies. For example as just
previously mentioned, careful collection of epidemiological evidence over
nearly two decades paints a much clearer and dier end-result than those who
rushed to judgment. A comprehenisve study published 21 years after the
Chernobyl incident, which carefully applied statistical analysis to regions most
laden with Fall-Out, showed that not 31 deaths, but in reality 985,000 deaths
resulted from this single catastrophe.99

In Review:
Statisticians can omit or disqualify relating data points just as easily as they
can include it. It depends upon what vested interests are in play,62 and/or the
comprehensiveness of the statistician(s).(B), (F), 18
1. We should have first been focused on identifying disease associations other
than cancer that arise out of
radiation Fall-Out, so these could be tracked over time, STARTING AT THE
CELL and BELOW CELL LEVEL
(see below).
2. Then we should have been looking into populations which have lived within
100 miles of nuclear power
plants for several decades and their risk assessments for these associated
radiation diseases, including
autoimmune disorders and all forms of cancer.
3. Then we could have been using these two subsets to focus in more
accurately on long term health trends
of folks who were initially exposed to radioactive Fall-Out and their
subsequent health experiences including
those of their children.88 This is the basis to Hypothyroidism Type 2, and I
suspect other escalating glandular
and immune disorders, since insults upon the mitochondrial
mechanisms appear to transfer down to offspring.(G)

As Abraham Lincoln admonished us, "You can fool some of the People
some of the time, but not all of the People, all of the time."

Accounting for phenomena that suggests humans or animals actually
benefit from select kinds of radiation exposure including radioactive Fall-Out.

These official government spokespersons and nuclear physicists are reminded
about the principles established by the Father of modern cell physiology,
Claude Bernard:47








Bending Insight Into Science We Can Trust



So how does Strict Determinism impact our current situation? Well, it is the
principle which may very well save us. It is all about what principles or
reference points we focus on to use as a directional heading & road map to get
us out of this mess. This will determine what we must do.



But beyond that, without the proper reference points that include associated
risks and adequate time periods to properly assimilate such differing kinds of
data, confusion will prevail when trying to gauge radiation morbidity and
mortality statistics from the latest incident at Fukushima. This will determine
how long we must take action to protect ourselves.



For good reason, many of us feel we cannot trust those who we sent to
represent us in our government farther than we can throw a dollar bill. This is
because crony capitalism is hard at work, putting vested interests ahead of
We, the People and common sense. When it comes to reporting to us the full
facts relating to radiation releases and their impact upon our health, history
tells us we are being hihgly manipulated, even after President Clinton led the
first effort to expose the truth in 1997 (see Department of Energy's Advisory
Committee on Human Radiation Experiments Report in endnote 93 below, plus
endnotes 94-96). This is because it has been the official Federal policy to
withhold the truth about radiation exposures to the U.S. public since the
1950's for both military as well as private sector vested interests. So, we must
realize WE are the government, not the paper pushers or vested interests or
puppet masters who have taken up positions all throughout our government to
insure we are kept from the full truth. Don't get mad about all this, just get
educated. In the end, it is up to us to protect ourselves, our family, our
neighbors and our country.93, 94, 95, 96



In summary, what are the proper reference points that will tell us here and
now if low levels of any kind of radiation are potentially beneficial or harmful to
human tissues? These reference points derive from those discovered by Abram
Petkau, Gilbert N. Ling, and two other experts in BioEnergetics, relating
to EIGHT factors:31, 32, 33


Does the radiation level overwhelm the lipid antioxidant defenses
of the host's tissues (e.g., are toxic levels of malondialdehyde or MDA
produced and/or glutathione reserves depleted?). Or do the tissues
recover and demonstrate healthy cell or tissue regeneration alongside
optimal level of functional lipid antioxidants (NAC, Glutathione,
CoQ10(H), Vitamin E, Omega 3 oils, etc...)?
Does the radiation disrupt or improve aerobic metabolism of the
cell or tissue or lead to healthy cell or tissue regeneration which
displays optimal aerobic metabolism?
Does the radiation improve the pH profile of the external and
internal milie4 of the cell or tissue or lead to healthy cell or tissue
regeneration which displays optimal pH?
Does the radiation improve the structured water (polarized
multilayers of water or PM wate) within the cell or lead to healthy cell
or tissue regeneration which display optimal PM water?
Does the radiation improve or harm the normal spectrum of
mineral elements in the cell and their proper ocations or lead to
healthy cell or tissue regeneration which displays optimal mineral
reserves?
Does the radiation improve or harm the special proline-rich-
peptides within cells that are the scaffolding to the PM water in the
cell or ead to healthy cell or tissue regeneration which displays optimal
proline-rich-peptide reserves?
Is the 'Phase Angle' of the body improved by the radiCtion
exposure or lead to healthy cell or tissue regeneration which displays
optimal Phase Angle?
And finally, is the negative millivolts of the cell and tissues
improved from the radiation exposure or lead to healthy cell or tissue
regeneration which displays optimal millivolts?



Physicists who doubt that man-made, low level radiation falling within
so-called: (A) "normal background radiation levels" or (B)
"permissible radiation levels" causes massive harm would serve the
general public very well by addressing the above questions. Until they do,
they stand on inadequately circumspect data points.83-89


Eclectic physicians often specialize in BioEnergetics, the Fourth Pillar to The
Regeneration Effect. And what these experts will tell you is that select low
levels of radiation that disrupt cell membranes will trigger attempts in tissues
to regenerate the damage, which is termed autophagy.49 Just enough
autophagy with just enough antioxidants and reserves o 4heir respective
substrates (building blocks) and other essential factors like oxygen and you
are "In like Flint." But too much autophagy with too little antioxidants or
when coupled to conditions of hypoxia (low oxygen levels), and you start
generating vast numbers of premature cellular deaths, and over the longer
term cancer or devastating autoimmune disease. Most folks over 50 have
under saturated tissue levels of oxygen, so this is something we need to keep
in mind.43 Additionally, other stores of environmental toxins or unhelpful
lifestyles which include the standard American diet and smoking, will ensure
low level radiation exposure can only increase risks to chronic degenerative
diseases down the road. Perhaps most importantly, radioactive iodide may
easily disrupt thyroid function permanently. With chronic lower thyroid
hormone production, the risk to many chronic degenerative diseases
dramatically goes up. Unfortunately, conventional medicine has failed to date
to adequately appraise low thyroid conditions, so this only compounds
inadequacies in statistical analysis.(G)

Therefore, only looking at cancer death rates without looking into the other
diseases that can substitute in cancer's place, is misleading to say the least
when examining radiation hormesis.


As an Eclectic Physician, my foremost concern about my own knowledge base
is in regards to not knowing what I don't know about. It's one thing to know
you don't know about a critical issue, but it is an entirely different matter when
you don't know that you don't know about a critical issue. This is my blind
spot, and it serves me well to chip away at my blind spots by practicing the
Eclectic method as diligently as possible. The eclectic method is one of
developing insight to see reality as it truly is. Insight is by definition the ability
'to view or determine a truth' about a critical issue from as many points of
view at once, and that requires a team of trustworthy experts using the same
method who remain in communication with each other. That surpasses mere
reductionism (i.e., conventional sciences' current methodology), and extends
into gaining clinical results where conventional thinking and practices simply
fall short or fail, or are bound to fail by not preventing future catastrophic
health consequences, such as what is befalling us now with this incident at
Fukushima. That's who we are at the ICCTTM.



This being stated, how we have put this altogether (that is, what is actually
occurring at the cellular level and why some animals in certain situations of
radiation exposure may thrive while others die), is related to five things which
we can use to overcome the trace amounts of radioactive fall-out from
Fukushima. To us it all boils down to:

(A) The antioxidant capacity and potential (substrate reserves) of tissues,

(B) The steady or interrupted streams of free-radical formation (length of
exposure),

(C) The capacity of the host to repair (which includes all eight factors listed
above in bold),

(D) The prior cumulative stresses already present in the host, and

(E) Only then about radioactive dosage levels and toxic particle
elimination.





Bending Trustworthy Science Into Solutions We May Implement Now

Q: What can I do now to protect myself from nuclear fall-out arriving
from the meltdown of Japan's nuclear power plants?
A: The good news is that we can protect ourselves now. And
furthermore, we may actually be able to use this incident to our advantage
to induce unscheduled healing, if we keep on top of it.

What we must all do now is to fortify our internal cellular milieu and bring
online our very own Regeneration Effect within. This turns the table in
regards to Claude Bernard's principle of Strict Determinism, and enables us to
achieve "what we damn well please" - that is - a favorable outcome.
Specifically, we may still enjoy life free from the threat of low level
radiation exposures, if we know exactly what to do. So let's begin...

SHORT TERM ANTIDOTES:


1. N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) is the most powerful short term quencher of
ionizing radiation. It is a nutrient, a simple amino acid from protein. For adults
(weighing above 150lbs) , it may be taken in dosages of 500mg to 600mg
daily for protection from toxic metals and other poisons. For younger adults
weighing 100lbs to 149lbs, 400mg to 500mg daily affords adequate protection
in most situations. In children weighing less than 100lbs, but above 50lbs,
200mg daily is a suitable dose. For infants, toddlers or children weighing less
than 50lbs, 50mg to 100mg daily may be used in juice, as long as no
sensitivity to NAC arises (i.e., light skin rashes). In this manner, NAC may be
used daily on an indefinite basis, as it is a harmless amino acid our bodies will
use to establish antioxidant defenses and aid the immune system. It is also an
adequate remover (i.e., chelator - from the Greek which means that which
"grabs onto or claws into") of toxic metals from the body, such as radioactive
cobalt and directly and indirectly uranium.44, 45, 46 Uranium is quite stubborn
about exiting without a fight and could require baking soda to speed things up
- see references at very end of page - plus melatonin.23 Liver protection
from fall-out radioisotopes like uranium, plutonium, etc... is nicely
accomplished via combining NAC + Sea Vegetables (see next) + Melatonin +
Selenium + small amounts of baking soda (see number 7 below for all
advisories). Lastly - rarely some adults are sensitive to NAC, so be aware of
special advisories regarding its long term use. In those cases, use high-quality
Whey products.6, 7



2. Iodide is also a first line of defense mineral supplement, since it can
out-compete radioactive iodide from entering into our bodies.11 Kelp and
other seaweeds are also excellent chelators of toxic metals from the body,
especially if high fiber intake is also being incorporated into the diet.9, 10, 83,
84

Despite misinformation to the contrary, if you have no known allergy to
shellfish or iodide, rationale supplementation with iodide can be a good thing.
For average size adult women, daily Thyroid needs amount to 50mcg alone,
while breast tissues, ovaries and other tissues collectively require up to
3000mcg daily. For men, their intake should be at least 1,000mcg daily, unless
they are sensitive to the mineral.74, 75, 76 Eclectic physicians may use up to
ten times or more of the female dose to treat chronic fatigue and advanced
Fibromyalgia with great success,77 as well as to detoxify out of the system
the toxic halides bromide, chloride and fluoride.78

For example, individual tablets of Kelp, Irish Moss or Dulse typically
contain on average 200mcg of iodine. So, 5 tablets taken at once may equal
1,000mcg of iodine. If 5 tablets are taken at each meal, then the daily dose of
iodine from these sources alone would approach 3,000mcg daily. However as
referenced above, building up slowly to this level is essential, as iodine tends
to rinse out toxic body burdens of toxic fluoride, bromide and chlorine if
present. Therefore, when high levels of iodine are taken too quickly without
building up to optimal levels, these toxic elements may exit en mass too
quickly causing skin rashes, minor hair loss, or very rarely even asthmatic
reactions. Eclectic physicians will neutralize this sensitivity with up to 3,000mg
daily of Vitamin C.79 But by simply discontinuing the supplement for several
days, skin or hair issues should quickly clear up on their own. But if you do
experience anything more dramatic, check in with your doctor right away. So
always increase slowly and according to tolerance to avoid getting into this
kind of situation to begin with. Remember, iodine is an essential nutrient our
bodies must have every day to make adequate levels of essential hormones.

If sensitivities to iodine do surface, and then clear after discontinuing, and
you want to resume taking iodine supplements, check in with your doctor and
see if he or she will allow you to begin taking 3,000mg of Vitamin C daily, and
then give you the go-ahead to start with very small iodine of iodine daily (1/4
tablet daily). Slowly work up to a maximum of 1 tablet daily, and report to
your doctor if your tolerance to iodine at this level of intake is secure.
Gradually over time, most folks can up their dosage in this manner, although
more slowly than other people. Several months down the road, one initially
sensitive may find themselves able to take 400mcg to 1,000mcg daily if
patience rules the process. In the rare event any intake of iodide causes
resumption of symptoms, including minor hair loss, substitute Chlorella or
Spirulina below.



3. Chlorella (and other blue green algae) is a superior protector and chelator
of radioactive metals from the body and contains no less than 20 superior
neutralizers to radioactive poisons. 5 per meal (250mg each or 1250mg per
meal) is a great dose for adults, 3 per meal for young adults and children, and
1 per meal for the very young. Make sure the Chlorella brand you buy has the
outer cell wall "cracked" for best absorption. More may be taken, but it is
suggested to never exceed 40 tablets daily for adults. Spirulina is a very
acceptable cheaper alternative, although the taste is more objectionable
for children.3, 4, 29



4. High quality bone meal (rich in Calcium & Strontium Hydroxyapatite) will
also protect against radioactive strontium poisoning and penetration of
uranium into bone. 3 per meal as labeled is suggested for adults, young
adults and children, and 1-2 per meal for the very young.12



5. Natural Vitamin E Complex - To stop cell membrane destruction. 800iu
per day is an excellent dose for average adults, and 400iu per day for young
adults and children. Toddlers and infants may be given 100iu per day in juice.
(Side Note: Krill Oil, CoQ10(H) and Melatonin are more powerful than Vit. E,
but also more expensive. See below...)



6. Consuming High fiber and seaweed dishes on a regular basis must be
used to maximize the best effects of the above tools. These will help insure
removal (chelation) of toxic radioactive metals from the body.



7. Baking soda - Should be taken only on rare occasions, that is, only if
exposures to uranium or plutonium can be confirmed, even in trace amounts,
for your area. Baking soda is an efficient means to remove these metals
quickly (especially uranium). There are several medical conditions which
contradict taking baking soda, so be sure you have doctor's clearance before
consuming baking soda. Taking baking soda once weekly should pose no
health threat if no other medical conditions are present which require
restriction of sodium intake. For adults with no medical contraindications, and
who have good reason to believe they have been exposed to traces of
radioactive fall-out, especially uranium, taking 1 teaspoon of baking soda in 1
cup water or juice up to seven (7) times daily on an empty stomach - on one
day out of every seven days - may be warranted. If you have a day of fasting
each week, or one of light eating, this would be the perfect day to perform this
procedure; but again, only if it has been confirmed you were likely exposed to
extremely low levels of the radioactive heavy metals such as uranium. Please
see the long list of abstracts regarding baking soda as an effective
chelator of radioactive elements at the very end of this document).14, 15



LONG TERM ANTIDOTES (for maintenance):
Bone Meal (protects against radioactive Strontium-90);
Chlorella (protects against most radioactive metals);
Kelp (protects against radioactive iodide and other radioactive metals);
Pectin from fruits and jams - sugar-free & artificial sweetener-free (protects
against Cesium-137);83
Probiotics - several billion per capsule per meal (protects against radioactive
Strontium-90);16, 17
Food grade Zeolite from reputable sources (more on this wonderful
substance in my upcoming book).101, 102, 103, 104

Professional Guidelines: In the unlikely event of an emergency
concerning acute radiation poisoning, baking soda may be used when
directly exposed to high levels of radioactive isotopes (Americium-
243/242/241, Barium-140, Cesium-137, Plutonium-244/239/238, Strontium-90/89,
Tellurium-132, Uranium-235/234, Yttrium-91/90, etc...):

Under a doctor's supervision, baking soda coupled to the above are tools of choice to
remove these toxic metals from the body quickly.

For adults, up to 7 teaspoons of baking soda daily in divided dosages on an empty
stomach may be used short-term (over 6 consecutive days) to accomplish significant
decontamination, with route & rate of administration carefully considered by the physician.
Another acceptable dosage schedule is to perform the above every other day for two
weeks on, then resting for two weeks off of the baking soda schedule.

Now, couple this protocol to the lipid membrane protocol listed below with added probiotic
supplementation and as appropriate use Aloe, Noni juice and SAW with a strict diet of no
refined carbohydrates, and many of the most serious cases may gain lasting relief.7, 12,
14, 15, 21, 23, 25

Where run-a-way inflammation has taken hold, quadruple NAC intake & follow the natural
aspirin (80mg/day), omega 3 oils (3gm/Day or fish oils, or 1gm/day of Krill oil) & GLA (from
borage oil - 2gm/day) with cherry concentrate, curcumin (up to 2gm/day) and boswellia
(1gm/day), plus natural anti-histamines such as quercetin (250mg three times
daily). See: http://doctorapsley.com/AspirinandSynergistsforCancer.aspx.

In the extremely unlikely event of more grave situations, intravenous
administration of 5% baking soda (in 500cc), glutathione (2gm), reduced
CoQ10 (300mg), sodium ascorbate (10gm), Omega 3 oils (2gm), NAC (5gm)
and elemental selenium (1mg) as sodium selenite can be administered daily
over the course of a week or two, with good success where patient is incapable
of ingesting oral supplements.

Additionally, two herbal medicines which are very potent antidotes to high
radiation exposure are: high-quality Aloe vera juice 20 (for any radiation
burns, internal or external), and Noni juice 13 (Morinda citrifolia). Also,
eliminate all refined sugar from the diet.

Very importantly, bowel movements are key to removing offending
radioactive isotopes from the body and should utilize pectin or alginate
or chitin laden fiber products, and as possible, a series of colonics utilizing 3%
baking soda.

If skin exposure has been confirmed, then infrared saunas using niacin and
intense sweats are key, so long as the sweat can be collected on towels during
the twice daily 30 minute treatments which are properly disposed of.

Lastly, emerging evidence suggests that one species of structured water
(Fullerene-C60) may be able to protect normal cells from harmful effects of
radiation therapy while simultaneously enhancing results of radiation
therapy.8 More studies are needed to confirm this theory.



Examples of Protection Schedules According to Body Weight &
Budgetary Allowances


Q: What is the one, least expensive method to protect oneself from
radioactive Fall-Out?
A: Eating an abundance of sea vegetables (all edible seaweeds) at each
meal (chewed well), while eliminating all refined foods, especially sugar.9,10,
81 Sea vegetables are not only rich in iodine and other trace elements, but
also in chlorophyll, alginate and selenium, substances very efficient at
grabbing onto toxic metals and removing them from the body. Chlorophyll also
aids in repair to damaged tissues. The key is liberating the goodies from sea
vegetables, and cooking methods and blenders are helpful in this regard.
Alternatively, Kelp or Irish Moss (also known as Bladderwart) or Dulse tablets can
substitute for ingesting sea vegetables.
