In light of the recent nuclear reactor problems and radiation dangers in Japan, I thought it appropriate to share two information from two emails I received on the subject.
The first is from the Herbal Legacy newsletter from Dr. Christopher’s School of Natural Healing. If you want to know more about Dr. Christopher’s School of Natural Healing or any of his publications, I am an affiliate of Dr. Christophers and you’ll find a link on my website pages, just look for his picture.
The second is from Butterfly Express. If you want to know more about Butterfly Express essential oils, I am a distributor and there is information on my site under “Essential Oils” or you are welcome to contact me directly.
Precautionary Measures for Possible Radiation Plume; by Dr. Christopher’s
“In answer to the many inquiries of what to do about the recent news and reports (New York Times) of a radiation plume reaching the west coast by Friday, here are some things to know and ways in which you can be prepared.
“At this point the levels of radiation prospected to be in the plume that would actually fall on estimated California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Alaska, etc. is very minimal and is not to pose a serious risk to health. However, “if” the situation in Japan worsens (ie. the Fukushima reactors have a rod “meltdown” – creating a massive release of radiation into the atmosphere) taking the following precautions/preparations would be our suggestion, especially for those living in the pacific and on the west coast.
“1) Take the time to reevaluate your emergency plan and supplies as a family. Make sure your vehicles are not empty of fuel in case you need to evacuate and do not count on phones working in case of actual emergency.
“2) If suggestion is and you plan to, stay put and to stay within your home for an allotment of time make sure you have plastic and duct tape to seal your windows and doors as well as the supplies needed in the case of a usual emergency: water, food, etc.
“3) If you plan to evacuate, have at least a 72-hour kit ready to go at a moment’s notice. This is good to have no matter what you plans are.
“4) Staring now, significantly increase your intake of naturally sourced iodine-containing foods and superfoods: (*estimated amounts of naturally occurring iodine)
- Icelandic Kelp – *8000ppm
- Kelp, Dulse, etc. (Seaweeds) – *5400ppm
- Chlorella – *100ppm
- Spirulina – *70ppm
- Pistacios – *51ppm
- Dark Greens in all there variety
- Colorful vegetables & fresh fruits
- Onions & Garlic
“5) The purpose of increasing your intake of iodine-containing foods is to raise the amount of stable iodine in the blood. This will increase the likelihood that the thyroid will absorb the stable iodine instead of the radioactive iodine (iodine-129 and iodine-131) released during a nuclear accident.
“6) During the intake of iodine (kelp capsules SNH recommendation: 8-12 capsules a day depending on the size and health of the individual) further precautionary measures would be to take the four Dr. Christopher’s Cleansing Formulas to keep things cleaned out (Lower Bowel Formula, Kidney Formula, Liver & Gall Bladder Formula, and the Blood Stream Formula) and then to add the Heavy Mineral Bugleweed Formula for additional cleansing.
“Our prayers continue to go to those in Japan and all those working to control at present this devastating disaster.”
Nuclear Radiation; by Butterfly Express
“We have been receiving many phone calls regarding the situation in Japan and the possibility of a nuclear radiation fallout. The fallout can and will cause problems with the thyroid, taking away the iodine that it needs. The protocol for treatment being communicated to the world is the use of potassium iodide. On the label of this medication specifically says that these should not be used unless it is a real emergency.
“Helping our bodies maintain sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals should be our first priority. Kelp has a high amount of iodine in it and would be very beneficial for our bodies. The use of KNA (Kelp, Nettles, Alfalfa) tincture is a great place to start to help your body get the vitamins and minerals that it needs. KNA contains all the vitamins and minerals that your body needs. The LeEternity Essential Oil is designed to help our bodies absorb vitamins and minerals better. Some of the other essential oils to use are cypress, LeEndoRelief, and helichrysum. Using a moderate amount of quality spices in food preparation should also be considered because spices contain minerals. As always, using bottled water now and later will help ensure that it is pure and clean.
“Our philosophy is — THE TIME TO PREPARE IS NOW, NOT WHEN IT HAPPENS.”
