Quick Tip: Answering Questions about Radiation from Japan and Potassium Iodide

Written by Thomas Corriher

We have recently received lots of research requests from people who are concerned about the radioactive fallout from Japan.  The radiation levels that are coming from Japan should not be enough to sicken healthy people in the Americas, or most other places; but it may be enough to cause some existing health issues to worsen for a small category of people.  For example, the very low-levels of radiation that are coming from Japan may be enough to push the unhealthiest of people over the edge into developing a cancerous-type condition.  This small segment of the population that consists of the walking almost-dead needs drastic lifestyle changes to avoid disaster; regardless of their radiation exposure.  The rest of us will more-or-less be fine, at least regarding our Japanese radiation exposure.

Potassium iodide is the only remedy that is mentioned by other sources, but it will only partially protect just the thyroid and the reproductive organs.  While its usage may be a good idea for some especially vulnerable people, it is important to remember that the rest of the body will still be vulnerable.

If potassium iodide is unavailable, applying regular iodine (not the povidone type) to the skin, and allowing it to absorb transdermally is a good option.  You can also purchase potassium in grocery stores as a salt substitute.  Only a small amount of potassium is needed for this purpose.

We are warning our readers to not consume any underwater vegetation (ie. seaweed) to obtain iodine, because of the significant risks of heavy metal contamination, pollutants, and of course, radiation.  Likewise, drinking iodine is a foolish endeavor that will generally hurt the body much more than it helps.  Iodine is a completely different substance from the recommended potassium iodide.

In the 1950's and 1960's, experiments were done, particularly by the United States Army, showing that the consumption of broccoli and other dark green vegetables protect the body from radiation to a surprising degree.  This led to further research into the most common factor of such vegetation, which is chlorophyll.

Chlorophyll (the green pigment of plants) has a tendency to cleanse the body of many toxins, including aflotoxin, benzo[a]pyrene, and dioxin, all of which are known carcinogens.  It is worth noting that radiation exposure produces benzene compounds, such as benzo[a]pyrene, within humans.  Chlorophyll is also able to directly shield a body from radiation damage, which has been demonstrated in multiple studies.  Given the U.S. Military's invention of atomic weapons, there is not a more credible source than the aforementioned military studies.  Military studies which used conventional cabbages and broccoli as a small chlorophyll source enabled test subjects to show dramatic recoveries from radiation poisoning, so concentrated liquid chlorophyll, like that which is available at most health food stores, should be expected to yield impressive results.

Linus Pauling and his colleagues at the Linus Pauling Institute demonstrated that vitamin C taken after medical radiation 'therapy' reduced patients' radiation sicknesses, and subsequent damage.  However, there are some theoretical problems when vitamin C is taken in large doses alongside radiation, so it is recommended that, at a maximum, 1 gram (1,000 mg) of vitamin C be taken daily to suppress radiation sickness.

We also recommend that people take flax seed oil.  It is most effective when it is combined with something containing a sulfur protein, such as yogurt or cottage cheese.  This mixture is a core component of the anti-cancer Budwig protocol.

Some less ethical alternative media sources are using fear-mongering about the Japanese radiation to increase their popularity, and their product sales.  In fact, in regards to our honest reporting, some former media friends have demanded that we stop rocking the boat.
