Our
three sources of oxygen — food, water and air — are polluted and bound
with toxins. All forms of pollution starve our bodies of essential
oxygen. When it comes to
nuclear radiation, we are all guinea pigs in a risky experiment. Here
are a few ideas that may help us adapt and survive radiation and toxic
exposure. We need to remember that nothing is 100 percent guaranteed,
and supplies of many of these foods and supplements may already be in
short supply. There are a
number of foods that can better help our bodies tolerate the effects of
pollution and radiation. Keep in mind that the kidneys are one of the
first organs to suffer from radiation damage. Eating lower on the food
chain minimizes our chemical intake. The
seed buckwheat is high in rutin, helps to protect against radiation and
stimulates new bone marrow production. The mucilaginous fibers in
seaweed (such as kelp, kombu, arame, nori, sea lettuce, dulse, wakame
and hiziki) help to prevent the reabsorption of radioactive strontium
90, barium, cadmium and radium by binding with them and carrying them
out of the body. Sea vegetables are also high in natural iodine, which
can load the thyroid, so that radiation is not absorbed. Eat two
tablespoons daily for protection and be careful of overdoing. Be sure
seaweeds are from clean waters like www.seaweed.net, or www.seaveg.com.
Following the bombing of Nagasaki, a group of surviving macrobiotic doctors and their patients avoided radiation sickness by eating brown
rice, miso soup, seaweed Hokkaido pumpkin, and sea salt and were told to
avoid sugar and white flour products. These patients did not get
leukemia, though the hospital was only one mile from the bombsite!
High
chlorophyll foods like wheatgrass, spirulina, chlorella and barley
grass strengthen cells, transport oxygen, help to detoxify the blood and
liver as well as helping to neutralize polluting elements and stimulate
RNA production. One can take 3-5 grams daily of these superfoods.
Sulfur-rich vegetables in the Brassicceae Family like broccoli, cabbage,
kale , radish, Brussels sprouts, arugula, rutabaga, turnip, Bok Choy and
mustard greens combine with toxins and help to prevent free radical
damage. Also rich in protective sulfur include garlic, onions, and
beans. High pectin foods like carrots, sunflower seeds and apples help to keep pollutants from being assimilated. High
beta-carotene foods (like green leafy vegetables, carrots, winter squash
and sweet potatoes) help promote healthier immunity and cellular
protection. Unpasteurized sauerkraut helps promote healthy intestinal flora. Garlic keeps radioactive isotopes from being absorbed. Radiation
sickness can also contribute to the development of anemia, so green
foods and beets can all help build the blood. Nutritional yeast, high in
B vitamins binds, absorbs and carries heavy metals out of our systems.
After the fact, foods that are rich in nucleic acids can help us to
rebuild and include spirulina, chlorella, nutritional yeast and bee pollen. Learn to identify and eat some of the wild edible
plants from unpolluted areas such as chickweed, dandelion, malva and violets
Aloe vera gel (Aloe vera) has been found to help heal radiation burns more quickly by its content of biogenic stimulators that encourage skin repair. Burdock root (Arctium lappa) helps to neutralize and remove toxins from the body. During the
Industrial Revolution, burdock was recommended as medicine to help
people cope with the increased pollution. Dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale) improves the function of our body’s organs elimination process.
Consider how this plant has done a good job for itself adapting to
environmental pollutants.. Eleuthero herb (Eleutherococcus senticosus) can help alleviate fatigue, ameliorate symptoms from chemical and radiation exposure and lessen the effects of stress. Ginseng root (Panax ginseng) helps one to decrease the side effects of radiation and recover more quickly its exposure. Green and black tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) are antioxidant, immune stimulant, and contain radioprotective agents. Milk thistle seed (Silybum marianum) helps protect the body from chemical exposure, environmental illness and liver damage. Nettles herb (Urtica dioica) cleanses and strengthens the kidneys as it builds the blood. Peppermint leaf (Mentha piperita) can reduce nausea from radiation exposure. Red clover blossom (Trifolium pratense) improves health in general, helping all the organs of elimination function more optimally. Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) have been found to bolster the immune system after radiation exposure. Yellow dock (Rumex crispus) improves the function of the kidneys, liver, lymphatic system,
intestines and skin thus aiding the body’s natural cleansing process. Supplements to help one better cope with environmental pollutants include antioxidants. Vitamin A and beta-carotene improve tissue strength and decrease wound healing time. The B complex can improve stress and fatigue. Vitamin
C gives protection against a wide range of pollutants, reduces allergy
symptoms, improves healing time and promotes detoxification.Strontium-90
competes with calcium in the body and depletes vitamin D supplies in
the body, so vitamin D supplementation may be helpful.Selenium, helps protect one from heavy toxicity (and is found in Brazil nuts, garlic, green and black tea) .Zinc
is needed for B and T cell production. It also helps in the elimination
of aluminum, cadmium, copper and lead. Glutathione is very protective
against environmental pollutants.
L-cysteine helps the liver breakdown chemicals.
Calcium helps protect the body from absorbing radioactive materials and magnesium helps prevent the uptake of strontium 90.Bee pollen is extremely nutritive and reduces the side effects from radium and cobalt 60.Zeolite clay helps to remove heavy metals and radiation, binding to toxins in the bloodstream and helping them to be eliminated.Epsom salt baths (1 pound per bath) can also be used to help draw radiation and toxins
out of the body. Get a water filtering system for the entire household.
Houseplants that are used to reduce indoor pollution include Chrysanthemum, Golden
Pothos and Mother-In-Law Tongue, English Ivy, Gerber Daisy, Peace Lily,
Spider plants, and Janet Craig.Campaign for a cleaner, safer and less polluted world!
Nuclear power is not the answer.
