Protect Yourself from Radiation Exposure

Everyone is aware of what’s happening in Japan with their nuclear reactors. I’m not going to get into the political debate or blaming game. Frankly, it doesn’t matter to me how those nuclear plants got into meltdown. The disaster in Japan could have happened anywhere. Japan is used to getting earthquakes, they are prepared for any “typical” earthquake that hits them. What has occurred in Japan was the second strongest earthquake the Japanese have ever had to deal with. And the aftershocks were, and continue to be up in the 5.0 - 6.5 range.

Those are full-fledged earthquakes in their own right.

What matters to me is helping to minimize the damage to life: plant, animal, and human alike.

There are many supplements and natural foods that can help the body eliminate toxic levels of radiation, and protect you from radiation poisoning.

Potassium Iodide is probably the most well known. But as radiation moves across the world and exposure grows Potassium Iodide is likely to become difficult to find. Some unscrupulous companies may increase the price of potassium iodide because of the increased demand. So, knowing other options is a good idea.

See the list below for food and supplements that can protect and/or help your body detox from radiation exposure.

  • Foods high in chlorophyll
  • Cruciferous vegetables
  • Miso
  • Seaweeds
  • Kelp Liquid
  • Lecithin
  • Vitamin A (as Beta-carotene)
  • Vitamin C (several grams each day are needed for radiation protection)
  • A combination of Vitamin E (400-800IU) and Selenium (200-300 mcg)
  •  Zinc
  • A good B complex
  • Niacin taken to flush
  • Lipoic acid (about 100 mg daily)
  • L-cysteine
  • NAC (aka N-acetyl-cysteine) (500 mg, 3 times a day)
  • Any amino acid that contains sulfur
  • Methionine
  • Fiber to bind and remove toxins
  • sodium alginate 300-600mg daily(as supplement or  from eating seaweed)
  • Spirulina
  • Oral alginates help decrease absorption of radioactive strontium.
  • Superoxide Dismutase or SOD
  • Dimethylglycine (DMG)
  • Salt-soda baths help detox (add 1 pound sea salt, 1 pound baking soda to a hot bath)
  • Detoxifying bath ( add 2 cups apple cider vinegar to hot bath. Soak for 15- 30 minutes)
  • Alfalfa is high in chlorophylls and vitamin K. It may help decrease tissue damage from radiation exposure.
  • Apple Pectin helps bind and remove toxins from the system.
  • Drink at least 2-3 quarts of clean water each day.

Here is a recipe for Antiradiation Soup as listed in Staying Healthy with Nutrition. The recipe was created by Bethany Argisle

4 oz tofu, cut into bite sized squares
1 oz kombu or nori seaweeds cut in strips
3 cups purified water
1 tablespoon miso paste, more to taste
1 lemon
1 ½ cups cooked brown rice

Optional ingredients:
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil 
chopped green onions
cilantro

Boil water. Add tofu and seaweed. Simmer for a few minutes, then reduce heat. Add miso paste, lemon juice and optional ingredients. If desired, cover and let sit 15-20 minutes. Remove seaweed and serve with brown rice.

According to the recipe in Staying Healthy with Nutrition, this recipe was proven to reduce radiation sickness after Hiroshima.
