Easy Natural Alternatives for Radiation Poisoning Defense & Recovery
Several sources suggest that Kelp may be used to treat the affects of radiation on the body. Many “green foods” such as kelp, seaweed, wheat grass or any other source of chlorophyll will have similar properties. Kelp has a normalizing effect on the thyroid gland. you must also be sure to get enough vitamin A in your diet. without sufficient vitamin A, your thyroid gland cannot produce thyroxin, a hormone that helps the thyroid absorb iodine.
Rosemary
In fact, this headline states Rosemary Found to Offer Best Protection Against Radiation Poisoning. That speaks loudly enough, don’t you think? In addition to eating the herb fresh or dried (and cooked into dishes), you can also find rosemary extract or tincture in just about any natural health food store.
Spurilina
“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, 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.” Read more about spirulina
Miso Soup
Shinichiro Akizuki, M.D. helped the patients at St. Francis Hospital avoid radiation poisoning after the atomic bombing of Nagasaki in 1945 by feeding his patients and workers brown rice, miso soup, vegetables and seaweed every day. His hospital was only about a mile from the blast site. Further away, University Hospital's 3000 patients suffered greatly from leukemia and disfiguring radiation burns. This hospital served its patients sugar, white rice, and refined white flour products. A follow-up study was done on the health of the Japanese people. Over a 25-year period, the Japanese Cancer Institute tested and tracked 260,000 subjects, dividing them into three groups. Group one ate miso soup daily, group two consumed miso two or three times a week, while group three ate no miso at all. The results were stark: those who had not eaten any miso showed a 50% higher incidence of cancer than those who had eaten miso.” The fact that many did not have as serious health repercussions as expected was attributed to the regular inclusion of miso soup and seaweed in their diet. Read more about miso
Niacin
Researchers claim that niacin had been a definite point of study as an antidote to radiation exposure and has also proven to be an extraordinary effective catalyst for the discharging of radiation.
Sunflower Seeds
According to a Natural News article, both apples and sunflower seeds contain a pectin that’s adept at cleansing the body from residual radiation. (They also mention that the glucosides in buckwheat add protective measures against radiation if eaten before exposure.)
Activated Charcoal
Activated charcoal, taken internally, removes toxins and poisons from the body. In fact, it’s kept in nearly all emergency rooms at this point to help mitigate the effects of poisoning. According to WebMD, there is also some scientific evidence that it lowers cholesterol. Here’s more on how to take activated charcoal internally.
Please note, activated charcoal and charcoal briquettes are two vastly different things. Please do not eat your barbecue charcoal!
Other foods that may help in combating radiation sickness are foods that naturally detoxify the body. Foods such as reishi mushrooms, green and black teas, garlic, nettles, dandelions, ginseng, lentils, collards and mustard greens.
You can read "How to Help Support Your Body's Healing After Intense Radioactive or Radiation Exposure" a 121 page E-book available for free that details some of the things mentioned above.
With the concern over increased radiation here in Japan you should increase your intact of Miso, seaweed/sea vegetables and the things mentioned in this article. Don't overdo it with the salt though. Cut down on sugar, white rice and white flour food items as it lowers your immune system. Get Activated Charcoal Capsules and take a couple every day. They are safe and non-toxic and pull out toxins and impurities. These are safe,easy and natural ways of helping to get past this situation and minimize our risk. Tell your friends and family to do the same.
How are you feeling about everything that’s going on right now in Japan? Are you concerned about nuclear fallout reaching where you live?
Do you have any detox and protective measures to add to this list? Any ideas are welcome!

DIY Relief for Tohoku, Japan
It was brought to my attention, by Tony Knight, that a fellow named Beau Retallick and some friends actually took it upon themselves to help with the situation in Tohoku, Japan. They got a couple of vans, loaded them with supplies, and drove up to the Tokoku area to distribute to the people in need there.
Knowing that the only feasible route there would take them in the vicinity of the nuclear power plant in Fukushima, they still took the risk. They grabbed some potassium iodine pills and a Geiger Counter, and were on their way.
This selfless act is truly heroic and I hope it inspires more to do what they can to help out. Donate to the organization of your choice or Volunteer your time. The people of Tohoku, Japan need it.
Here is an excerpt from one of his post followed by some pictures:
“5:20AM on the 14th van loaded with 500Liters of water, Geiger Counter Plastic bags to use as toilets, food,blue plastic sheets, dust masks etc on the road to Fukashima. Mission to supply water to Fukashima residents. Me, Ed, Emi and her brother(Both Emergency Room Nurses) Emi is Ed`s wife. We tried to center the load as much as possible but 500kg had us pretty much bottoming out.”
More pictures from his trip here
Beau and friends We Salute You!
[UPDATE]
I contacted Beau with my plans to write this blog and this was his response:
“No worries. That's great. We now have our next mission fully underway. We have 4000liters of liquid storage, 7vans and 2 trucks. 500liters of heating fuel and we look like we might hit 1 million yen of food”
True Heroes Indeed!

Message from the US Embassy in Tokyo
The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo informs U.S. citizens in Japan who wish to
depart that the Department of State is making arrangements to provide
transportation to safehaven locations in Asia. This assistance will
be provided on a reimbursable basis, as required by U.S. law. U.S.
citizens who travel on US government-arranged transport will be
expected to make their own onward travel plans from the safehaven
location. Flights to evacuation points will begin departing Japan on
Thursday, March 17. There will be a limited number of seats available
on evacuation flights departing from Narita and Haneda airports on
March 17. Priority will be given to persons with medical emergencies
or severe medical conditions.
Persons interested in departing Japan via USG-chartered transportation
should proceed to Narita and Haneda airports or contact the US
Department of State and Embassy Japan by sending an email to
JapanEmergencyUSC@state.gov or by calling 1-202-501-4444. Please
provide the following information:
Name, age, place of birth, U.S. passport number and any special medical needs.
Immediate family members (spouses and children) who are not U.S.
citizens must be documented for entry into the safehaven country
and/or U.S., if that is your final destination.
Frequently Asked Question
I’m ready to go. What do I do?
Documented U.S. citizens may proceed to Haneda or Narita airport as of
Thursday, March 17 at 6:00 pm.
My child is a U.S. citizen. Can my whole family be evacuated?
A U.S. citizen child may be escorted by one adult, preferably a
parent, who has appropriate travel documents. If a family has more
than one U.S. citizen child, the one-adult rule still applies.
Do I need a U.S. passport?
All U.S. citizen travelers and their spouses and children, are
required to have valid travel documents. The U.S. Embassy in Japan
will assist U.S. citizens with travel documents. U.S. citizens who do
not hold a valid U.S. passport or visa and are interested in departing
Japan via USG-chartered transportation should contact the US
Department of State and Embassy Japan by sending an email to
JapanEmergencyUSC@state.gov or by calling 1-202-501-4444.
What do I do if my child is a U.S. citizen, but hasn’t yet been documented?
Contact the U.S. Embassy in Japan. U.S. citizens who do not hold a
valid U.S. passport or visa interested in departing Japan via
USG-chartered transportation should contact the U.S. Department of
State and Embassy Japan by sending an email to
JapanEmergencyUSC@state.gov or by calling 1-202-501-4444.
My family members aren’t U.S. citizens. Can they travel with me?
The scheduled evacuation flights will transport U.S. citizens and
their immediate family members. Immediate family members – defined as
spouses and children – who are not U.S. citizens will be required to
have travel documentation that will permit their entry into the safe
haven destinations. At this time, flights are expected to travel to
Seoul, Republic of Korea and Taipei, Taiwan. Safe haven destinations
may change. U.S. citizens requesting evacuation will not be able to
select their safe haven destinations.
Will you fly me to the United States?
Our goal is to get people to a safe place, where they can make their
own onward travel arrangements. Travelers will be responsible for
their own onward travel arrangements and accommodations in the safe
haven city. Consular officers will provide travelers with information
on airlines and hotels
.
What should I bring?
Travelers should bring valid travel documents and any necessary medications.
Each traveler may bring one suitcase and a small personal carry-on item.
U.S. citizens seeking evacuation should be prepared for a substantial
wait at the airport. Travelers are advised to bring food, water,
diapers and other necessary toiletries with them to the airport.
What about my pets?
Evacuation flights will not be able to accommodate pets.
Do I have to pay for the flight?
U.S. citizens requesting evacuation will be asked to sign paperwork
promising to reimburse the U.S. Government for flight costs at a later
date. Exact flight costs are not yet available, but should be
comparable to a one-way commercial flight from Japan to the safehaven
location.
How do I get to the airport?
Public transport to include taxis is still operating in Japan.

Yokohama Japan 3days after the M9.0 quake
@onmugen
@starrwulfe
@blacktokyoWhile we are waiting for these events to unfold in the coming days, one thing is for sure-- Those people up in Tohoku Japan need our help. So we are going start a RAN donation drive. http://www.ranmagazine.com/sendai-quake-donations/ All proceeds will be distributed to various relief organizations that we've partnered with in the past for our previous charity events like RAN Rock Haiti, RAN for Chile and recently, RAN for Christchurch. RAN Magazine is putting together a team of people to offer support / go to Sendai and help. Watch our twitter feeds and/or check the donation site for more details about when we can enter the affected areas as a group. Thank you so much!
