Remove Radioactive Particles from Your Body in 5-7 Hours. By Gavin Bragg Guest Writer for Wake Up World Fukushima may soon become the greatest environmental disaster site the world has ever seen. If the more than 1300 fuel rods from the badly damaged reactor 4 fuel pool, that is perched 100 feet in the air, are not brought to the ground with absolute precision it could spew out the radiation equivalent of more than 15,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs. The pool rests on a badly damaged building that could easily come down in the next earthquake, if not on its own.[1] Spent fuel must be kept under water because each rod is coated with zirconium alloy, which will spontaneously ignite if exposed to air. “According to Arnie Gundersen, a nuclear engineer with forty years in an industry for which he once manufactured fuel rods, the ones in the Unit 4 core are bent, damaged and embrittled to the point of crumbling. Of much greater concern is strontium-90, as described by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Chernobyl: The Facts Want more information? What can we learn from Kerala? | Brave New Climate. Guest Post by Geoff Russell. Geoff recently released the popular book “Greenjacked! The derailing of environmental action on climate change“. Kerala is a state on the South Western coast of India; about a third the size of Tasmania or just slightly bigger than Hawaii. It’s been on my radar ever since it featured in an inspirational segment of David Attenborough’s 2009 “How many people can live on planet earth” documentary (35:16).
With 33 million people in an area half the size of Tasmania, you can imagine it’s rather crowded. Some official methods of forest counting nevertheless claim that 44 percent of Kerala is still covered in forest of some kind or another, but scientific studies put the figure much lower at about 21 percent of the country having forests with a crown density higher than 40 percent and another 5 percent with a crown density between 10 and 40 percent. Scientists have been looking for radiation impacts on Keralites (people from Kerala) for decades. Like this: Related. Could Melanin Convert Radiation Into Harmless, Even Useful Energy? October 10th, 2016 By Sayer Ji Contributing writer for Wake Up World Could the melanin found in our bodies (the pigments that give human skin, hair and eyes their color) and in foods like mushrooms, help to mitigate the increasingly dire quantities of radiation we are exposed to daily?
Over the course of the past decade, one of the most interesting concepts I have run into while scouring the biomedical literature is the possibility that melanin’s biological role in the human body may extend far beyond simply protecting us against UV radiation. Research is now emerging indicating that melanin may function in a manner analogous to energy harvesting pigments such as chlorophyll, and may have even have driven our evolution into the uniquely hairless, brain-dominant hominins we are today. Melanin’s Mysterious Properties Melanin is, indeed, one of the most interesting biomolecules yet identified. Can Melanin Lend Those Who Consume It “Super Powers”?

Cell Tower Radiation Prevents Garden Cress Seed Germination in Danish Experiment. By Catherine J Frompovich | Activist Post What do cell phones, cell towers, Wi-Fi, Smart Meters and other “smart” devices all have in common? They emit radiation, which no one wants to take seriously as having adverse health effects on humans. Medically, the adverse effects are called “Non-thermal health effects.” In 2013, a ninth grade experiment for a national science fair found remarkable proof of radiation damage from Wi-Fi routers that was replicated by a peer review study. Wow! Five Danish schoolgirls proved what apparently no one in the microwave industry wanted to. Photo Source: Stop Smart Meters UK So, what does that experiment portend for humans? Here are some studies that corroborate my last statement: Man-made electromagnetic waves have actually largely been shown to have adverse effects on living organisms.They affect, for instance, This chart shows the ranges of non-ionizing and ionizing radiation and their frequencies.

Radioprotective Chelator: Apple Pectin Reduces Caesium-137 by 62% Christina Sarich | Naturalsociety | 3rd April 2014 Fukushima radiation isn’t the only radiation we are exposed to in modern times; we have to protect ourselves from microwaves, cell phones, cell phone towers, and much more. Fortunately, there are numerous ways to protect ourselves from radiation exposure and even reverse radiation damage. Apple pectin, for example, along with other fruits that contain this soluble fiber and polysaccharride carbohydrates are great radioprotective agents. Yuri Bandazhevsky, the once director of the Medical Institute of Gomel in Belarus, documented the chronic incorporation of caesium 137 (Cs-137) in the organs of children living in contaminated areas after the Chernobyl incident. In Banazhevsky’s studies, high levels of Cs-137 were also found in the heart, the thymus and the spleen.
Following the Chernobyl incident, children were given pectin powder in order to combat radioactive isotope exposure. More from Naturalsociety. Reverse Radiation Damage with 5 Grams/Day of this Deep Sea Medicine. By Elizabeth Renter | Natural SocietyDecember 13th, 2013 Thought to be one of the oldest life forms on earth, spirulina is an algae loaded with health benefits. In addition to boosting academic performance, combating arthritis, and preventing cancer, some of the most remarkable benefits come in its ability to protect against radiation. The radiation-protectant benefits of spirulina came to light after the Chernobyl disaster of 1986. In that nuclear reactor melt-down, hundreds-of-thousands of people were exposed to high levels of radiation. More than 160,000 children and 146,000 workers were victims of radiation poisoning.
Living and working in an environment polluted with radioactive toxins increased the incidence of birth defects, leukemia, cancers, thyroid diseases, liver and bone degeneration, and damaged immune functions. In the recovery efforts, a British company reportedly sent over shipments of spirulina to treat the child victims. Article Source: Natural Society. This Inexpensive Omega-3 Source Can Protect Against Radiation. Paul Fassa | Naturalsociety | Nov 13th 2013 A study published in a recent issue of BioMed Central Cancer and conducted by the Pearlman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania has once again revealed the radiation protective properties of flax seeds.
The researchers noted that the protection offered by flax seeds even included repair of tissues after exposure. The research focused on the ability of flax seeds to protect lung tissue prior to radiation exposure and the ability of flax to repair damaged lung tissue after exposure. They used mice for their published study, but now they’re doing a clinical study on humans receiving radiation for cancer treatment.
A team of researchers led by Melpo Christofidou-Solomidou fed some mice flax seeds both before radiating them and other mice after radiation. They found that both before and after radiation, flax-fed mice survived even lethal doses of radiation in good health, while many mice not fed flax died.

Easy, Inexpensive Ways to Help Protect Your Family from Radiation It is well-known that potassium iodide works to protect against damage from radioactive iodine by saturating our body (the thyroid gland, specifically) with harmless iodine, so that our bodies are unable to absorb radioactive iodine from nuclear accidents.
For example, the World Health Organization notes: The thyroid gland is at particular risk from irradiation from radioactive iodine because the thyroid uses iodine to produce hormones that regulate the body’s metabolism. The thyroid gland does not differentiate between non-radioactive and radioactive iodine. ***When taken at the appropriate dosage and within the correct time interval around exposure to radioactive iodine, KI [i.e. potassium iodide] saturates the thyroid gland with stable (non-radioactive) iodine. As a result, radioactive iodine will not be taken up and stored by the thyroid gland. But the longer-term threat lies elsewhere. The U.S. Dr. Compound in Broccoli Offers Significant Protection Against Radiation Sickness.
Elizabeth Renter |Naturalsociety | Oct 30th 2013 Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower have a wealth of health benefits. But like all plant foods, we are just beginning to understand the many benefits they offer. Researchers have recently discovered that a compound within these vegetables could protect against radiation sickness and the death that usually follows.
The study published in PNAS, looked at the protective qualities of 3,3’-diindolylmethane, or DIM and found it to protect mice and rats from otherwise lethal doses of radiation. According to a press release from Georgetown Medical Center (GUMC), the researchers suggest DIM could protect normal tissues during radiation therapy (a destructive form of cancer treatment) or protect them in any case of radiation exposure.
Rats in the study were given lethal doses of gamma ray radiation. Radiation results in a dramatic loss of red blood cells, white blood cells, and blood platelets in cancer patients.
