How to Detox Your Body of Depleted Uranium Residues, the Effects of

Radiation, and Radioactive Contamination from Radiation Detox.com

 

Sad but true: There are thousands of scientific references and medical studies

out there on the fact that radiation and radioactivity can harm you yet, despite

millions of dollars spent by the government to study radiation, virtually

nothing is available about a detoxification diet or nutritional supplements you

might use to minimize the effects radioactive contamination.

Here’s some of the information we do know from the only book in the world on

the topic. Keep this information in the back of your mind as it may one day help

save you or someone you know.

Iodine

 

Most people are aware taking potassium iodide (KI) or potassium iodate (KIO3)

tablets will help block your thyroid gland from absorbing radioactive iodine

should there ever be a dirty bomb explosion or nuclear power plant mishap such

as the Three Mile Island incident. In 1999, another such accident happened in

Tokaimura, Japan where several individuals died from radiation exposure in a

fuel processing facility.

 

What people don’t recognize is that potassium iodide or iodate tablets only

protect the thyroid gland and do not provide protection from any other radiation

exposure, so taking them should not give you a false sense of security. It’s

important to detox your body after radioactive exposure!

 

One question is, what do you do if KI or KIO3 tablets aren’t available during

an emergency? Interestingly enough, according to research by Ken Miller, health

physicist at the Hershey Medical Center, he found that an adult could get a

blocking dose of stable iodine by painting 8 ml of a 2 percent tincture of

iodine on the abdomen or forearm (places on the body where absorption is rapid)

approximately 2 hours prior to I-131 contamination. I-131 is a radioactive form

of iodine present in the fallout from above-ground atomic bomb blasts. Potassium

iodine tablets are best in cases where advance notice of radiation exposure are

possible, but if they are not available iodine tincture is the next best thing.

 

After exposure

 

External: An entirely different problem arises after you’ve been exposed to

radioactive contamination because now you have to get rid of any radioactive

particles you may have ingested through the air you breathed, water you drank,

or food you ate. Some people suggest Epsom salts, Clorox or clay baths to remove

any residues on your skin and to leach out any heavy metals you may have

absorbed.

 

Internal: The big worry is internal contamination. To gain some insights into

what to do, we have to turn to the story of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki.

 

Diet: At the time of the atomic bombing, Tatsuichiro Akizuki, M.D., was of the Department of Internal Medicine at St. Francis’ Hospital in

Nagasaki and he fed his staff and patients a strict diet of brown rice, miso and

tamari soy soup, wakame, kombu and other seaweed, Hokkaido pumpkin, and sea

salt. He also prohibited the consumption of sugar and sweets since they suppress

the immune system.

 

By imposing this diet on his staff and patients, no one succumbed to radiation

poisoning whereas the occupants of hospitals located much further away from the

blast incident suffered severe radiation fatalities.

 

Much of this positive result has to do with the fact that the sea vegetables

contain substances that bind radioactive particles and escort them out of the

body. This is why seaweed sales usually skyrocket after radiation disasters and

why various seaweeds and algae are typically used to treat radiation victims.

 

Algeas: In Chernobyl, for instance, spirulina was used to help save many

children from radiation poisoning. By taking 5 grams of spirulina a day for 45

days, the Institute of Radiation Medicine in Minsk even proved that children on

this protocol experienced enhanced immune systems, increased T-cell counts and

reduced radioactivity. Israeli scientists have since treated Chernobyl children

with doses of natural beta carotene from Dunaliella algae and proved that it

helped normalize their blood chemistry. Chlorella algae, a known immune system

builder and heavy metal detoxifier, has also shown radioprotective effects.

Because they bind heavy metals, algae should therefore be consumed after

exposure to any type of radioactive contamination.

 

Sodium alginate: In 1968 a group of Canadian researchers at McGill University

of Montreal, headed by Dr. Stanley Skoryna, actually set out to devise a method

to counteract the effects of nuclear fallout. The key finding from their studies

was that sea vegetables contained a polysaccharide substance, called sodium

alginate, which selectively bound radioactive strontium and eliminated it from

the body.

Sodium alginate is found in many seaweeds, especially kelp, and since that

time the Russians have been seriously researching the use of their own kelps

from Vladivlostok, from which they have isolated the polysaccharide U-Fucoidan,

which is another radioactive detoxifier.

\

Miso soup: Because miso soup was so effective in helping prevent radiation

sickness, the Japanese have also done research identifying the presence of an

active ingredient called zybicolin, discovered in 1972, which acts as a binding

agent to also detoxify and eliminate radioactive elements (such as strontium)

and other pollutants from the body.

Black and green teas: The kelps and algaes aren’t the only natural foods with

radio-detoxifying effects. In terms of fluids to drink, black and green tea have

shown radioprotective effects " whether consumed either before or after exposure

to radiation. This anti-radiation effect was observed in several Japanese

studies, and studies from China also suggest that the ingredients in tea are

radioactive antagonists.

In short: After any sort of radioactive exposure you want to be eating

seaweeds and algaes along with almost any type of commercial heavy metal

chelating formula to bind radioactive particles and help escort them out of the

body. Whether you’re worried about depleted uranium, plutonium or other

isotopes, this is the wise thing to do which can possibly help, and certainly

won’t hurt.

Supplements: Many nutritional supplements have been developed for the purpose

of detoxifying heavy metals, most of which contain the algaes and plant fibers

and other binding substances.

The anti-radiation diet

An anti-radiation diet should focus on the following foods:

· Miso soup

· Spirulina, chlorella and the algaes (kelp, etc.)

· Brassica vegetables and high beta carotene vegetables

· Beans and lentils

· Potassium, calcium and mineral rich foods

· High nucleotide content foods to assist in cellular repair including

spirulina, chlorella, algae, yeast, sardines, liver, anchovies and mackerel

· Cod liver oil and olive oil

· Avoid sugars and sweets and wheat

· A good multivitamin/multimineral supplement

 

Mineral supplementation: Yet another benefit of the sea vegetables rarely

discussed is their high mineral content, which is a bonus in the case of

radioactive exposure.

Consuming natural iodine, such as in the seaweeds, helps prevent the uptake of

iodine-131 while iron inhibits the absorption of plutonium-238 and

plutonium-239. Vitamin B-12 inhibits cobalt-60 uptake (used in nuclear

medicine). Zinc inhibits zinc-65 uptake and sulfur is preventative for sulfur-35

(a product of nuclear reactors) incorporation by the body.

Since nuclear workers are potentially exposed to radioactive sulfur, this

means that workers in the atomic power industry need a higher content of sulfur

in their diet. MSM supplements provide a source of dietary sulfur, but thiol

supplements such as cysteine, lipoic acid and glutathione serve double-duty in

this area because they help detoxify the body and attack all sorts of other

health problems as well.

 

Ginseng: The immune system is usually hit hard after radiation exposure, and a

number of steps can be taken to help prevent opportunistic infections after a

radioactive incident. Though the full dimensions of the protective mechanism is

still unknown, Siberian ginseng is one form of ginseng that exerts a definite

radioprotective effect and has been demonstrated to lessen the side effects of

radiation. It was widely distributed by the Soviet Union to those exposed

Chernobyl radiation and is commonly used to help cancer patients undergoing

radiation therapy.

 

Panax ginseng has prevented hemorrhaging after radiation exposure, prevents

bone marrow death and stimulates blood cell formation, so it’s another

supplement to add to one’s protocol.

 

In short: Yeasts, beta glucans, bee pollen and various forms of ginseng have

all been shown to bolster the immune system after radiation incidents. In terms

of radiation burns, aloe vera has a proven ability to treat serious radiation

burns and offers other radioprotective effects, and can easily be grown in your

house.

 

Reishi mushrooms: Consuming Reishi mushrooms is another proven way to bolster

your immune system after radiation exposure and helps reduce the damage from

radiation. It’s been used to decrease radiation sickness in animals and help

them recover faster after potentially deadly exposure.

 

Miscellaneous: The amino acid L-Glutamine can be used to help repair the

intestine in case of the gastrointestinal syndrome usually suffered due to

radiation exposure, and a variety of substances can help rebuild blood cells to

prevent hematopoietic syndrome. Those particular foods include beet juice, liver

extract, spleen extract, and shark alkyglycerols. Most oncologists don’t know

that shark liver oil, with alkyglycerols, can help platelet counts rebound in

days.

 

DU

Depleted uranium is currently in the journalistic spotlight because U.S.

weapons are made from this material, and after being fired leave a legacy of

depleted uranium dust in the environment, which anyone can absorb. Because the

kidneys are usually the first organs to show chemical damage upon uranium

exposure, military manuals suggest doses or infusions of sodium bicarbonate to

help alkalinize the urine if this happens. This makes the uranyl ion less

kidney-toxic and promotes excretion of the nontoxic uranium carbonate complex.

In areas contaminated by depleted uranium dusts, it therefore makes sense to

switch to drinking slightly alkaline water and to favor a non-acidic diet to

assist in this detoxification. The heavy metal detoxifiers mentioned previously

should be part of the DU-detox diet.

 

Homeopathy

Another thing you can do is use homeopathics for radiation exposure. People

commonly argue over whether homeopathics work or not, but if you assume the

position that they produce no results whatsoever then you must also assume that

they certainly won’t hurt you, which means the only loss from using them is a

few dollars. Frankly, there are countless cases and double-blind studies where

homeopathic tinctures do provoke physical healing effects in the body. Therefore

they are a viable adjunct treatment option.

One homeopathic, in particular, is URANIUM NITRICUM (nitrate of uranium) which

homeopaths suggest should be used in cases of depleted uranium exposure or

uranium poisoning. Not just soldiers or civilians exposed to battlefield dusts,

but uranium miners and radiation workers may find it quite useful.

Spiderwort

 

While we’ve discussed just a few of the many supplements and protocols you can

use to help detox the body of the lingering results of radioactive

contamination, including the residues of depleted uranium, the last thing that

might be of interest is that there is a plant that is a natural geiger counter.

The spiderwort plant is so sensitive to changes in radiation levels (its petals

change color upon exposure) that it’s often used as a natural radiation detector

(dosimeter), just as they use canaries in mines as detectors of poisonous gas.

Some people like knowing that they have an ongoing monitoring system for

radiation in the environment, and this is just another tip available in " How to

Neutralize the Harmful Effects of Radiation or Radioactive Exposure. "
