After sitting on the case for nearly a year, the Federal Judge hearing the Ear Candlers case dismissed the lawsuit because he determined that the FDA’s “cease and desist” letters of February 2010 were not “final agency actions” and the companies therefore do not have “standing to sue” until the FDA takes enforcement action. The Ear Candlers intend to file a Motion to Reconsider since the facts, as they’ve developed while the Court held the motion, is that the couple companies that did NOT join in the law suit as plaintiffs did have enforcement action taken against them, so the Judge has invoked the infamous Catch 22: our lawsuit protected the plaintiff companies from FDA persecution, so that “means” the plaintiffs cannot sue, since there has been no enforcement action against these particular parties.

What can we do?

In order to bring this matter forward, by filing the Motion to Reconsider and then, if that is rejected, a full appeal, we need to raise needed legal expense funds. None of the companies that make the NonMedical Devices Formerly Known as Holistic Ear Candles (FDA says they cannot be called anything that uses the words “ear” or “candle” or “holistic”) is a big company; all are small family businesses. While they cannot afford the costs of fighting the Federal Government in its own courts, they can offer you a gift of 6 Ear Candles (our use of the term “Ear Candles” herein should be considered short-hand for said NonMedical Devices Formerly Known as Holistic Ear Candles). So PLEASE DONATE GENEROUSLY!

Our prior posting on the case: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=5210


JUDGE THROWS EAR CANDLE CASE OUT OF COURT:
“TARGET EAR CANDLE COMPANIES HAVE NO STANDING TO DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST BEING PUT OUT OF BUSINESS”

Our employee, the FDA is, once again, wreaking havoc and terror on you and me – on We the People!

Having declared Ear Candles a Medical Device, the Fraud and Death Administration then stated that under no circumstances could Ear Candles ever be APPROVED as a Medical Device and issued “Cease and Desist” orders against the manufacture or sale of Ear Candles.

Whether or not you use Ear Candles, it is clear that this assault on a safe, time-honored and danger-free modality is the first in a new campaign of terror –yes, terror – against the manufacturers, marketers and consumers of anything but dangerous, expensive and easily replaced pharmaceuticals.

FDA is vigorously attacking Ear Candle Manufacturers while, for example, supporting Pfizer and reversing the FDA position on antibiotics: Pfizer new vaccine “for” ear infections killed 4 more children in Japan shortly before the Tsunami. AMA has reversed their long held, science based position against antibiotics in ear infections and now are claiming that antibiotics “cure” ear infections despite the lack of clinical evidence to suggest that it is true. The press, however, is not touting this “breakthrough”.

Although claims are sharply prohibited by FDA in this war of terror, the truth as Dr. Laibow and other holistic practitioners know from their clinical experience is that Ear Candles have a significant efficacy rate in ear infections. None of the companies adopt this position, of course.

And the Supreme Court tells us, in the leading case of Thompson vs Western States (535 U.S. 357, 2002) that –

“If the First Amendment means anything, it means that regulating speech must be a last – not first – resort … We have previously rejected the notion that the Government has an interest in preventing the dissemination of truthful commercial information in order to prevent members of the public from making bad decisions with the information… Even if the Government did argue that it had an interest in preventing misleading advertisements, this interest could be satisfied by the far less restrictive alternative of requiring … a warning that the [device] had not undergone FDA testing and that its risks were unknown.”

This nonmedical device example is just one in a long, long line of shameful distortions and persecutions of natural products health and wellness manufacturers and those who disseminate and purvey the information about what they are and how to work with them. Because Ear Candles are less known than other modalities like, for example, Chelation therapy or Vitamin C drips for treatment of cancer, we believe that the FDA sees them as a good place to start this new assault. The strategy is to declare them untested medical devices and then prevent them from being made or sold through Cease and Desist orders without taking a final action. It is this lack of final action which the Judge says prevents the companies from having standing to defend themselves.

We believe that if we do not file a successful appeal, we, the health freedom community, will see a blizzard of these Cease and Desist orders, none of them final action, but all of them definitive: “Keep making the product, or selling it, and go to jail.”

We have no choice but to fight as long as it takes to stop the FDA. Ear Candles are the tip of the iceberg: fighting and winning the Ear Candle issue is identical to fighting and winning a major portion of the health freedom battle: the right to decide what methods you use to gain and maintain health.

Please Donate Here to fund the appeal process which we must begin within the next couple weeks.

For every 25 dollars donated, we will send you 6 free ear candles from your preferred vendor:

We know it’s really hard out in America right now. We know you are working hard just to make ends meet. We know how all your expenses have been going up; we buy groceries too. Frankly, there is no one else to whom we can turn for the resources to make a difference. So it is up to you.

How important is the fight? What do you care about some holistic device?

What we can tell you is, this FDA “cease and desist” order to these companies sets a precedent, a dangerous one… But, we can Push Back through the courts and seek redress of grievances that can protect all of our access to natural means to achieve and maintain health.

Dr. Rima Reports: What does BeyondOrganic™ Mean?

Sunday, March 20th, 2011

Natural Solutions Foundation
Your Voice of Global Health & Food Freedom™
www.GlobalHealthFreedom.org
www.GlobalFoodFreedom.org

[All food photos from the Valley of the Moon BeyondOrganic™ Restaurant – www.MyValleyoftheMoon.com.]

I was asked about our term, “BeyondOrganic™” which I answered this way:

Thanks for asking. BeyondOrganic™ is a very carefully chosen term.

The background – As many of you know, Gen. Bert is the President and I am the Medical Director of the Natural Solutions Foundation, the world’s largest health freedom organization. We are a global NGO with projects in the US, Africa and Panama.

We are deeply concerned with the continuing contamination of food around the world through the use of agricultural chemicals, GMOs, irradiation, the use of synthetic fertilizers and modern food processing techniques.

As part of that concern, we are deeply troubled by the continuing and accelerating devolution of the regulatory and functional meaning of the term “Organic” — that is why we identified what is needed to be truly natural, which, in today’s world food market, means being BeyondOrganic™. That is also why we developed the Friendly Food Certification program, discussed below.

Codex Alimentarius, a United Nations Commission jointly run the WHO (which receives more than 2/3 of its funding from Big Pharma) and FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) and the USDA . They set the international standards and guidelines allowing food to be shipped internationally. The Organic Products Board, an agency of the USDA, has consistently succumbed to the pressures of commercial producers who make increased profits by using the USDA label and lowering their standards to increase the distance between the cost of production (down) and the cost of the product (up). The process has been continual – and totally predictable – since the NOPB (Natural Organic Products Board) was founded.

Clean food activists have struggled with the unremitting pressure on the NOPB but have, in general, the activists had lost the battles. Not always, of course, but in a steady advance downward the standards have been eroded. For example, the US now has the highest permitted level of contamination with GMOs for “organic” foods: 10%. Other countries in the world allow, variously, 0% contamination, 0.9% contamination or 0.1% GMO contamination.

The NOPB has continued to press for the approval of industrial sludge as a permitted organic fertilizer (recall that San Francisco recently tried to distribute this toxic substance free for local organic farmers to use). The toxins in this dangerous material include a variety of hydrocarbons, heavy metals of a truly appealing variety and concentration and wide array of other metabolic and environmental horrors.

Since the organic food market share increases approximately 20-24% annually while the conventional food share remains flat, the incentive is enormous to degrade the standards while maintaining the label.

Crab in Cucumber Appetizer

Internationally the situation is even worse. Codex Alimentarius (some of whose meetings around the world we attend as an Observer Organization, reporting on these issues in our daily bulletins) sets standards which are “voluntary” but which are often relied upon by the World Trade Organization (WTO) for determining whether or not trade sanctions should be imposed on nations for not observing them. In practice, unless they know about the legal option available to them which our book, the Codex eBook (available here: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=1191), presented to the Presidents, Ministers of Health and Agriculture, etc., in countries around the world, the bureaucrats who make these decisions tend to believe that Codex is a required standard which their countries must follow.

The US Government, not surprisingly, perpetuates this incorrect information since its multinational constituents profit greatly by this distortion. By the way, as anyone watching Codex knows, the US is the dominant dog in every Codex process with no second runner even close to it.

So, back to “Organic“: the standards by which the word is defined are now totally corrupted. The certification of the NOPB is, in my estimation, pretty close to meaningless.

The Codex Organic standard is also pretty close to meaningless as well. For example, it used to be that a farmer could not grow conventional crops and organic ones on the same land. Now pesticide, herbicide, fungicide agriculture can take place on the same land, using the same water, without windbreaks, distance or other protection.

For another example, a cow whose mother was treated with drugs and vaccines and fed on blood meal instead of mother’s milk before weaning, treated with drugs and vaccines itself, fed on chemically contaminated and GMO feeds, can still be brought onto a farm as “organic” cattle with the certification of a local official and a stamped piece of paper.

There is no way, in the professional opinion of our legal counsel and our strategic analysts, that the word “Organic” either has meaning now or can be reclaimed.

We therefore carefully considered many, many options and decided that “BeyondOrganic™” is the best option because it communicates the general intention – clean food without contamination, “Organic” is not good enough, there is something better, people need to think about what “Organic” means and the word “BeyondOrganic™” invites that consideration – thus the thread on the forum where the question was originally posted.

Fish Entree

Fish Entree

The practical definition is that the food is either:

1. Plant or animal food grown BY us without any chemical input from open-pollinated, uncoated, certified organic, heirloom seeds
2. Plant or animal food grown FOR us without any chemical input from the best seeds we can find or produce
3. Plant or animal food which is internationally certified by organizations we have reason to trust as a higher standard setting organization than the USDA and NOPB
4. Last, least and minimally, when we currently have no other choices, we will source USDA Certified Organic foods.

We use laboratory services to assure that our foods are clean which we source here in Panama. For example, we purchase our honey from a producer with hives way, way up in the mountains.

Chocolate Cake Coba

Chocolate Cake Coba

We know that honeybees travel significant distances, so we test the honey in a lab that uses chromatography and HPLC technology to detect herbicide, pesticide and fungicide residues. The honey tests out with no detectable residues and so we buy it.

We take this kind of care with all of our foods so that it is –

1. As free of chemical inputs as we can possibly make it, and we put a LOT of energy into it (despite idiotic rumors like “We saw guys wearing Valley of the Moon shirts in Cero Punta buying sacks of produce so the Valley of the Moon Restaurant is not organic!”)
2. Made with the diversity of individual dietary requirements in mind so that people can enjoy organic food that is veggie, vegan, non veggie, gluten-free, raw, whatever their bodies and their hearts desire
3. According to all reports, absolutely delicious!

Louis Carrol, in his masterpiece of whimsy and political commentary, posed the question, “Why is a Raven like a Writing Desk?” We are asking a far more serious question: “Why are GMOs like Nuclear Power Stations?”

Unlike Carrol’s whimsy, the answer to our question is of earth shattering importance: GMOs and Nuclear Power stations both threaten all life on Planet Earth. They both contaminate and change DNA down stream from their manufacture in unforeseen, unpredictable and deadly ways. They both cause cancer, infertility, birth defects, immune system failure and other nightmare diseases while garbed in the profitable, but threadbare cloaks of “science” and “progress” and “good for humanity technology”.

Sensible scientists, observers, public policy experts, epidemiologists and common sense thinkers know better. But, the “force” is with them. The “force”, of course, is money. Lots and lots and lots of it.

Think Monsanto. Think Bayer Crop Sciences. Think General Electric. Think the largest, most malignant money machine in history. Think Uber Cartel. Thing obscene profits before, during and after globalization and population reduction.

Think underground cities, like the enormous one being built for decades now near Tokyo. Think your DNA and mine corrupted beyond repair, but no natural medicine methods for either prevention or treatment available to us. Now open your eyes and look around

GMOs are nearly ubiquitous. Every, repeat, every independent report on their safety finds that there is none. There are risks without benefits.

Nuclear Power is still being touted as “Safe” while what might very well be the greatest natural cataclysm to ever take place unfolds – and WILL contaminate the entire US (save the panhandle of Florida and the souther tips of Texas and California, at least on this first pass) just as GMO “PHUDE” has already contaminated our entire food supply. GMOs are being touted as “Safe”as well.

For neither claim is there the least shred of evidence. But the profits? Oh, my, oh, my!

Incalculable!

And the dangers? Incalculable as well.

One thing that we do know is that the Uber Cartel is right there. Do you really think that the Big Pharma honchos are crying over your cancer, or your child’s or your mother’s or your father’s?

Do you really think that, wearing their Big Energy hats, they are shedding tears for those tragedies either?

Do these industries co-own one another? Why wouldn’t they, given that they are both profitable and protfolios are only about bottom lines, right?

Let me ask you a rude question: “What’s in YOUR portfolio?” If you do not have one, this does not pertain to you. But pass it along to the people who do have them, perhaps the people you used to work with before the Uber Cartel out-sourced your job and democracy.

Back to your portfolio: are you giving the genocidalist, the madmen, the globalists the capital they need to destroy you? Well, yes, but it’s a really good investment?

Well, yes, but my little holding doesn’t really make a difference? Well, yes, but we need drugs and electric power don’t we?

During the 70’s, as I recall, brilliant social commentator, critic and comic Dick Gregory said of smoking that he was not going to allow anyone to give him cancer and he sure as Hell wasn’t going to pay local, state and federal tax on it.

The principle stands. If you have investments in death, consider your personal choices and make better ones. The choice is yours.
The Merchants of Death depend on us to keep them fat, deadly and very, very happy.

Just as we call for a total ban on GMOs, we call for a total ban on all new Nuclear Power plants and safe decommissioning of all operating ones.

Is it our world or not? Is it our DNA or not? Is it our future or not? WE, all of us, are the active principle, not the tiny minority of globalists.

Yours in health and freedom,

Introduction

Dr. Rima: “If ever there was a time for life style change, coupled with a demand for clean, unadulterated food and the protection and support of the supplements that you need now and will need for the rest of your life, it is now. And if ever there was a time to call for the total banning of the two most dangerous misapplications of science in human history, GMOs and nuclear power, that time was yesterday. We missed yesterday so today is the time, and tomorrow and all the tomorrows that these disasters still allow us.”

“I’ve sourced a good source of natural Iodine (not the pharmaceutical form used as a prescription drug) since the disaster in Japan reminds us all how deficient in Iodine the population is; supplementing will benefit your body no matter what happens; product name: Emerald Sea: www.naturalsolutions.myemeraldstore.com . Additionally, I recommend strong anti-oxidants such as Resveratrol. Our recommended source is www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions.”

Ionizing Radiation exposure leads to free-radical storms in the body that can produce serious damage to all cell-level structures, including proteins and DNA. On thing, though, the Natural Products companies have been working on for the past 30 years or more are nutritional responses to free-radical attacks! That’s what all those powerful antioxidants are about. Real therapeutic nutrition! That’s why I feel confident in recommending these nutritional approaches. I recommend the same response to all the genome-attacking technologies that we have identified: nuclear power & other radiation sources, GMOs, vaccine and environmental toxins

But once we’ve dealt with the immediate response to the immediate assault; once we’ve brought our nutritional status up to a level where we can feel that we’re doing what we can under very trying circumstances, how do we move to the next step and seek to repair the damage done? To some extent, nutritional support will, of course, allow the body to engage in normal repair. Here, though, we want to go beyond that and give the body the energetic resources needed to restore optimal health. In this context, please read the portions of this web page that refer to the work of two extraordinary women: Sharry Edwards, MEd and Nancy Orlen Weber, RN. Both offer advanced technologies that provide hope for our future.

HOMEOPATHY

NaturalNews.com printable article – Originally published April 6 2011
www.NaturalNews.com

Homeopathy may offer the best radiation treatment
by Madeleine Innocent

(NaturalNews) Homeopathy is a truly diverse and deeply effective natural
health care system for every illness under the sun. Including radiation. How
is this possible?

Homeopathic treatment doesn’t treat the illness. It treats the person (or
animal) with the illness. There is a subtle, but deeply important difference.
And it means that the labeling of an illness is of little importance to
homeopaths.

But first it’s important to realise that as we are all mortal, not every
person can be curatively treated.

Best Protection

Although much good can be done by experienced homeopathic home prescribing,
protecting against radiation poisoning may not be one of them. This is much
too serious. The best protection from this problem, which will probably be
with us for many years, is to ensure you improve on other areas of health
care, such as

– a species specific, quality, natural diet
– a quality natural supplement, preferably a plant based superfood, which
also has detoxing capabilities, such as blue-green algae, chlorella, spirulina
– exercise regularly
– if you are in the fast lane, slow down, perhaps learn to meditate
– make quality time for you (to smell the roses) or take up something you
love to do, perhaps always wanted to do, but never had the time or money

With this healthy regime in place, the likelihood of suffering bad radiation
poisoning will lessen, even in the worst affected areas.

Symptoms of Radiation Sickness

People who suffer from radiation sickness tend to have some symptoms which
will be common to everyone (the early ones are nausea and vomiting, followed
by headache and fever). Even these early signs are common to other illnesses,
such as food poisoning and gastric flu.

These can then be followed by dizziness and weakness, symptoms that are still
common to other less serious ailments. Finally you can experience blood in
the vomit and stools, hair loss, chronic infections and poor healing capability.

These are all common radiation sickness symptoms that you can see in people
who are receiving radiation treatment.

Professional Homeopathic Treatment

The more uncommon symptoms, which will point to your most appropriate
homeopathic medicine may include any of the following:

– an enormous fear of death which prevents you sleeping
– an aversion to being on your own
– a desire or aversion for a particular food or drink, including its temperature
– worsening of the complaints during a specific time of day or night
– an increased intolerance to variations in environmental temperature
– if the complaints are more one sided
– the nature of your nausea (constant or intermittent)
– the nature of your vomit (saliva, undigested food, frothy, black, bloody, etc)
– how you feel after vomiting (better, no improvement)
– along with many others.

Because of the complex nature of health and the seriousness of radiation
sickness, the best treatment may come from an experienced and knowledgeable
homeopath. S/he will base your treatment on a variety of your personal
symptoms and traits. It is targeted for you specifically. Ten different
people who suffer from radiation sickness are each likely to receive a different
medicine.

Whether your radiation sickness comes from the environment or from a medical
treatment, you can lessen it or perhaps cure it completely, with good
homeopathic treatment.

http://www.naturalnews.com/031728_nuclear_contamination_glutathione.html#ixzz1HvQRALjT


By: Dr. Loretta Lanphier, ND, CN, HHP, CH

With the recent nuclear catastrophe happening in Japan as well as the probability that nuclear events will continue to be a part of our world, it’s prudent to have good reference information as to how the body can be supported (using natural means) and protected should high radiation exposure become a reality. Knowledge and information empower and should always propel one toward effective preparation and planning, not fear. The power of fear is destructive in that it paralyzes resulting in unwise decisions. Along with knowledge and preparedness, we must also be aware of the very real probability that the general public will not be privy to factual information. Hopefully my readers will copy this information and place in a safe place for future reference.

Fighting Radiation & Chemical Pollutants with Foods, Herbs, & Vitamins by Steven R. Schechter, ND was required reading when I was studying for my ND. It’s difficult now to find copies at a reasonable price of this out of print but very informational book. Below are some of the chapter titles and information that Dr. Schechter deals with in his book as well as some of my own research/suggestions.

“These foods and food substances will enhance the immune system and protect
against the dangerous side effects of radiation.” –Dr. Steven R. Schechter.

The time to implement these foods is now in order to build up the body as well as the immune system. Most of the foods and vitamins/minerals are “protective” meaning that they should be implented before a radiation event occurs.

Each of these can be researched individually on the Internet such as “bee pollen+nuclear radiation protection”, etc. in order to find out how it is helpful/useful to the body.
Fighting Radiation with Food

Sea Vegetables – According to a 1964 McGill University study published in the “Canadian Medical Association Journal,” sodium alginate from kelp reduced radioactive strontium absorption in the intestines by 50 to 80 percent. The sodium alginate allowed calcium to be absorbed through the intestinal wall while binding most of the strontium, which was excreted out of the body. Some of the more popular sea vegetables to consume are kelp, arame, wakame and kombu. Canadian researchers reported that sea vegetables contained a polysaccharide substance that selectively bound radioactive strontium and helped eliminate it from the body. In laboratory experiments, sodium alginate prepared from kelp, kombu, and other brown seaweeds off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts was introduced along with strontium and calcium into rats. The reduction of radioactive particles in bone uptake, measured in the femur, reached as high as 80 percent, with little interference with calcium absorption. “The evaluation of biological activity of different marine algae is important because of their practical significance in preventing absorption of radioactive products of atomic fission as well as in their use as possible natural decontaminators.” Source: Y. Tanaka et al., “Studies on Inhibition of Intestinal Absorption of Radio-Active Strontium,” Canadian Medical Association Journal 99:169-75, 1968.

The Atomic Energy Commission recommends for maximum protection against radioactive poisoning for humans, taking a minimum of 2 to 3 ounces of sea vegetables a week or 10 grams (two tablespoons) a day of sodium alginate supplements. During or after exposure to radiation, the dosage should be increased to two full tablespoons of alginate four times daily to insure that there is a continual supply in the GI or gastrointestinal tract. There may be a rare concern of constipation but this can be avoided if the sodium alginate is made into a fruit gelatin. Agar, derived from sodium alginate in kelp, is a safe, nontoxic substance that can be used as a thickening agent or gelatin.

Bee Pollen – Studies show that bee pollen can significantly reduce the usual side effects of both radium and cobalt-60 radiotherapy and also the sickness after massive abdominal x-rays. One study showed that the proliferation of cancer cells stopped in cancerous tumors induced in mice. (This is only indicative and does not purport to be medical advice. One should go to the source and study the relevant information before drawing conclusions. Try to get real bee pollen from an organic bee keeper, uncooked.)

Bee Propolis – Besides the healing and anti bacterial qualities of this substance, it has been effective in clinical stages of radioepithelitis, i.e. inflammation of epithelial tissue due to radiation. (Same as above. Get unheated, raw organic honey; it is a good source of pollen, royal jelly and propolis.)

Beets – Beets have been shown to rebuild hemoglobin of the blood after exposure to radiation. Rats fed a diet of 20 percent beet pulp were able to prevent cesium-137 absorption and 97 to 100 percent more effectively than rats given no beets.

Dried, Primary-Grown Nutritional Yeast – Besides having Vitamin E, it also contains the nucleic acids RNA and DNA, both of which have been shown to have radio protective qualities. It has been shown to help rebuild and regenerate cells damaged by radiation, and also to produce relief from radiation poisoning and it’s many horrible symptoms. Nutritional yeast has a good amount of many important nutrients. Primary –grown yeasts bonds with and absorb heavy metals such as uranium, lead and mercury!

Garlic – Garlic’s high sulfur content supports natural antioxidant systems like glutathione. Garlic extracts protect red blood cells from radiation damage by a glutathione-related mechanism. In mice, garlic extracts prevented radiation damage to chromosomes in vulnerable bone marrow cells.

Onions – Cysteine, present in onions, binds with and deactivates both the radioactive isotopes and toxic metals such as cadmium, lead and mercury. The sulfur in cysteine helps the kidneys and liver detoxify the body.

Chlorophyll – A Report by Scottist in 1986 and report from Japan showed that increase absorption of Cadmium by Chlorella and increased excretion of Cadmium by threefold after intake of Chlorella from animal testing. Chlorella can also detoxify Uranium, Lead, Copper, PCB. Source: ” A good Health Guide: Chlorella ” by William H Lee. R. Ph.D. and Michael Rosenbaum, M.D. Guinea pigs on a diet rich in chlorophyll showed increased resistance to lethal X-rays.
U.S. Army report in 1950

Oils – Plant oils such as unrefined and cold-pressed olive oil, flaxseed oil.

Foods rich in pectin – Pectin is able to bind radioactive residues and remove them from the body. It also acts as a natural chelating agent. Apples, guavas, plums, gooseberries, oranges and other citrus fruits are recommended. Be sure to effectively wash all fruit/vegetables before consuming.
Fighting Radiation with Vitamins & Minerals

Vitamin A – In 1974, researchers from India found that vitamin A, when taken internally by humans, hastened recovery from radiation. In 1984, Dr. Eli Seifter and a team of researchers fro the Albert Einstein College of Medicine….reported vitamin A and beta-carotene counteracted both partial and total body gamma radiation. It also improved the healing of wounds; reduced weight loss, thymic and splenic atrophy, and adrenal enlargement; and prevented gastro-ulceration and an abnormal decrease in red and white blood cell formation. (The therapeutic purposes, 25,000 to 35,000 IU are recommended for adults. During emergencies or crisis situations, intensive exposure may warrant as much as 40,000 to 100,000 IU of beta-carotene, but should be taken for no more than three to four weeks. Infants should not consume high amounts. This info is only very partial and you should consult the book for specifics.)

Vitamin C & Bio-flavonoids – Italian researchers in 1966 found that Vitamin D, in combination with vitamins A and the entire B Complex, helps remove radioactive isotopes such as strontium-85 and strontium-90 from the bones and the body. Vitamin D also helps protect against some common pollutants, including lead and cadmium, according to Airola in How to Get Well.

Vitamin E (natural not synthetic) – Radiation destroys leukocytes in both tissues and the blood, according to S. L. Robbins in Pathologic Basis of Disease ( W. B. Saunders, 1974). In Japan, I. Kurokawa and co-workers found that blood given vitamin E maintained a white cell count twice as high as blood not given vitamin E but exposed to the same radiation. Vitamin E has also been shown to produce internal and external protection in mice irradiated by cesium-137. Vitamin E and selenium are best taken at the same time since selenium preserves vitamin E.

Interesting to note about the ACE (Vitamins A-C-E) – A remarkable study among X-ray technicians reveals just how powerful antioxidant vitamins can be. Radiology techs are nominally protected by elaborate shielding, but they’re still exposed to unnaturally high levels of radiation over the course of a lifetime. As a result they tend to have higher levels of tissue oxidation. But when a group of techs was supplemented with vitamins C (500 mg) and E (150 mg) daily for 15 weeks, their markers of tissue oxidation plummeted, and their levels of natural antioxidants (such as glutathione in red blood cells) rose significantly. (Kayan M, Naziroglu M, Celik O, Yalman K, Koylu H. Vitamin C and E combination modulates oxidative stress induced by X-ray in blood of smoker and nonsmoker radiology technicians. Cell Biochem Funct. 2009 Oct;27(7):424-9.)

B3 Nicotinic Acid – Have on hand the Acid form of B3 rather than the salt form, Niacinamide, which is basically useless. Several sources indicate that large doses of niacin B3 were used in treating victims of radiation poisoning after the Chernobyl meltdown. B3 will cause the body to detox and therefore it is wise to make sure that your liver has been detoxed and is supported properly. Chemical poisoning slows down the liver.

Calcium – Protects against strontium-90, calcium-45 and other radioisotopes.

Magnesium – Like Calcium, magnesium prevents the uptake of strontium-90 and other radioisotopes. It helps to eliminate already absorbed strontium-90 as well. One study has shown that exposure to gamma radiation can decrease calcium and magnesium levels in the blood. As a result, optimal levels of both minerals in the diet are essential after one is exposed to higher amounts of radiation.

Selenium – As selenomethionine. Has been shown to decrease the mortality rate of rats exposed to irradiation, and to alleviate leucopenia (abnormal decreases of white blood corpuscles). Selenium greatly reduces cancer in animals exposed to cancer-causing agents.

Zinc – Natural zinc will help the body eliminate several toxic heavy metals, including cadmium, aluminum, lead, and excess copper.

Potassium – Cesium-137, cesium-134, potassium-40, and potassium-42 are radioactive, competitive sister elements of natural potassium, all of which are in the same chemical family. These radionuclides are absorbed by the body when there is a deficiency of natural potassium. They concentrate primarily in the reproductive organs and the muscles. Cesium-137 is common in nuclear fallout, and can often be detected in our food, soil, and water. The authors of one study described our biosphere as “contaminated with radiocesium.” Researchers discovered that after the accident at Chernobyl, iodine-131 and cesium-137 were the most prevalent radionuclides in samples of food from the USSR and from Poland, Hungary, and other parts of Eastern Europe. Cesium-137 is also already being used in some countries to irradiate foods as a means of extending their shelf life at the supermarket. Research by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences demonstrates that natural potassium decreases the concentration of radiocesium. Begin to add potassium rich foods such as bananas, potatoes+peels, etc. If a nuclear event escalates in which cessium is being released, then also adding supplemental potassium is recommended. Potassium regulation is affected by magnesium. For magnesium deficiency include leafy green veggies, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and black beans

Iron – Research done in Czechoslovakia showed that whole body irradiation disturbed absorption of iron, and functions of red blood cells, plasma, and bone marrow. Other researchers found that amma-irradiation of the whole body or of the abdomen decreased absorption of iron, vitamin B12 and lipids.

MSM – As plants take in MSM from the soil they change it into amino acids such as methionine, cysteine and taurine which can protect against radiation as well as chelate heavy metals for elimination from the body. MSM also regulates the fluid that covers the airway surface of the lungs, preventing an inflammatory response and helping to regulate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Fighting Radiation with Herbs

[Herbal arrangement] Siberian Ginseng – Soviet researchers have reported that eleuthero extract has radioprotective abilities, and can be used therapeutically in conditions of acute and chronic radiation and sicknesses such as hemorrhaging, severe anemia, dizziness, nausea, vomiting , and headaches due to x-rays.

Panax Ginseng – Hemorrhage was a symptom of humans exposed to atomic radiations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japanese research doctors found that “Panax ginseng prevented hemorrhaging tendency after x-irradiation.” Bone marrow death is one result of radiation damage to blood-forming tissues. It occurs ten to twenty days after exposure to high doses of radiation. Panax ginseng extract prevents bone marrow death and accelerates normalization of red and white blood cell counts in animal studies.

Gingko Biloba – According to Science News Daily, extracts of its leaves contain antioxidant compounds including glycosides and terpenoids known as ginkgolides and bilobalides. These compounds are thought to protect cells from damage by free radicals and other reactive oxidizing species found in the body. These are generated continuously by the body’s normal metabolism, and in excess in some diseases or after exposure to pollution or radiation. They damage proteins, DNA and other biomolecules and left unchecked can kill cells. Results suggest that ginko biloba extracts can neutralize the free-radicals and oxidizing agents produced in the cells by the radiation and so prevent them from undergoing apoptosis.

Black & Green Tea – The polyphenol epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) derived from green tea protects animals from whole-body radiation, blocking lipid oxidation and prolonging life span. Several sources indicate that there were hundreds who survived Hiroshima at ground zero and the one thing they all had in common was drinking 20 cups of green tea per day.

Astragalus – An article published in Cancer, a publication of the American Cancer Society, reported that the aqueous extract of Astragalus membranaceus restored the immune functions in 90 percent of cancer patients studied.

Milk Thistle & Liver Support – A report suggests that milk thistle may prevent radiation toxicity. It enhances liver regeneration after exposure to heavy metals, radiation, or toxic chemicals. It reduces DNA damage and extends survival in animals exposed to dangerous levels of radiation. Silymarin’s free radical scavenging and direct antioxidant effects are credited with producing these results.
Fighting Radiation with Miscellaneous Substances

Distilled Water – Dr. Kenneth Sutter recommends drinking lots of distilled water for radiation poisoning. A tiny pinch of good quality sea salt in several glasses of distilled water each day will provide one with all the minerals and trace elements they need to stay healthy.

N-acetylcysteine – A glutathione precursor. As a source of sulfhydryl groups, NAC stimulates glutathione (GSH) synthesis, enhances glutathione-S-transferase activity, promotes liver detoxification by inhibiting xenobiotic biotransformation, and is a powerful nucleophile capable of scavenging free radicals. Studies at the Louisville School of Medicine have shown that Glutathione possesses a unique ability to slow the aging process. While Glutathione aids in the protection of all cells and membranes, a study at Harvard Medical School found that glutathione is especially able to enhance immune system cells, protecting against damage from radiation and helping to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, x-rays, and alcohol. As a detoxifier of metals and drugs, glutathione also aids in the treatment of blood and liver disorders.

SSKI – Super Saturated Potassium Iodide. Protects ONLY the thyroid from radioactive idoine. If it is radioactive cessium that is being released, potassium iodide will not be effective for the areas where cessium will accumulate – mainly the reproductive system, kidneys and liver. (see potassium recommendations above) FDA – “It is also notable that the thyroid radiation exposures after Chernobyl were virtually all internal, from radioiodines. Despite some degree of uncertainty in the doses received, it is reasonable to conclude that the contribution of external radiation was negligible for most individuals. This distinguishes the Chernobyl exposures from those of the Marshall Islanders. Thus, the increase in thyroid cancer seen after Chernobyl is attributable to ingested or inhaled radioiodines. A comparable burden of excess thyroid cancers could conceivably accrue should U.S. populations be similarly exposed in the event of a nuclear accident. This potential hazard highlights the value of averting such risk by using KI as an adjunct to evacuation, sheltering, and control of contaminated foodstuffs.” This may reduce the risk of developing thyroid cancer in the future. Potassium iodide does not provide immediate protection from radiation damage, and does not have protective effects against other radiation exposure complications.

SSKI Dosage information: Adults: dose = 130mg KI; Children between 3 and 18 years of age: dose = 65mg KI; (Children who are 150 pounds or over should take the adult dose regardless of age.); Infants and children between 1 month and 3 years of age: dose =32mg KI; This dose is for nursing and non-nursing infants/children Newborns from birth to 1 month of age: dose = 16mg KI This dose is for both nursing and non-nursing newborn infants. Take one dose every 24 hours until the danger is past.

Beta-1,3 Glucan: Extracted from the cell walls of baker’s yeast it is a potent immune enhancer. It activates important macrophages and is also an anti oxidant. Studies by the Army showed that glucan was a powerful protectant against a lethal dose of radiation.

Lecithin – 2-3 tbsp. a day, will help counteract harmful effects of radiation.

Papain – In one particular study, 50 percent of rats that were given papain survived a normally lethal dose of radiation.

Thymus Extract – Animal studies demonstrate that thymus tissue extract can re-create immunity even after doses of radiation powerful enough to kill the all- important lymphoid tissue. The idea of thymus glandular feeding in cases of mild to extreme radiation exposure has been applied in numerous cases.

Charcoal – Has the ability to absorb and neutralize radioactive substances and some toxic materials. Researchers report that 10 grams or 1 tablespoon of charcoal can absorb about 3 to 7 grams of materials. German researcher found that charcoal air filters removed more than 70 percent of radioactive iodine from the air. Taking finely powdered charcoal has been found to be one-and-a-half times as effective as the tablets.

Organic Germanium 132 – Should be used in gram amounts for effectiveness. According to one study, “Radioactive rays release electrons that destroy cells and blood corpuscles….Germanium floating near the blood corpuscles skillfully catches those released electrons and lets them move around its nucleus.” In other studies mutagenesis of cells exposed to cesium-137 and gamma rays, was “remarkably reduced” without affecting cellular growth or survival. It seemed to improve the fidelity of DNA replication. Ge-132 protects cysteine, an amino acid with known protective value. Dose: 25 mg. to 100 mg. per day is often used in Japan. It can be derived from onions, pearled barley, and watercress.

Other Recommendations

Natural Geiger Counter: There is a plant that is a natural Geiger counter. The spiderwort plant is so sensitive to changes in radiation levels (its petals change color upon exposure) that it’s often used as a natural radiation detector (dosimeter), just as they use canaries in mines as detectors of poisonous gas. Some people like knowing that they have an ongoing monitoring system for radiation in the environment, and this is just another tip available in “How to Neutralize the Harmful Effects of Radiation or Radioactive Exposure.”

Sea Salt & Baking Soda & Clay – Add one pound of good quality sea salt and 1 pound of baking soda to chlorine-free water. Soak for 20 minutes and then rinse with cool water. Adding one pound of betonite, or other safe clay, to the sea salt and baking soda will increase the removal of radiation. Some specialists who work with radioactive isotopes use this method to remove radiation from their body. For an abnormaly high level of radiation exposure one can use this method three times a week for one month.

Sodium Bicarbonate – Dr. Mark Sircus writes, “So useful and strong is Sodium Bicarbonate that at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, researcher Don York has used baking soda to clean soil contaminated with uranium. Sodium bicarbonate binds with uranium, separating it from the dirt; so far, York has removed as much as 92 percent of the uranium from contaminated soil samples…the United States Army recommends the use of bicarbonate to protect the kidneys from radiation damage…sodium thiosulfate can be added to baths and that instantly neutralizes any chlorine in the bath water while simultaneously providing sulfur for the vital sulfur pathways.” “Uranium is one of the only metals that get significant bonding from carbonate. Just flushing a lot of bicarbonate through the system, along with whatever kidney support you are going to use, will be very helpful,” writes Dr. Chris Shade.

Probiotics – A 2007 study of 490 patients receiving radiation for various types of cancer found that those consuming probiotics throughout treatment were less likely to experience radiation-induced diarrhea.

Zeolite – Zeolites have been used to decontaminate animals, particularly sheep and reindeer, which have ingested radiation following nuclear disasters such as Chernobyl. Addition of zeolites to contaminated soils has shown to reduce up-take of radionuclides by plants, and hence, reduce the spreading of contamination through the food chain. (Introduction to Zeolite Science and Practice by Herman van Bekkum). Do not take any product containing zeolite if you are taking any prescription medication containing heavy metals, such as lithium, or containing platinum, which can be found in some cancer medications or Radiotherapy with chemotherapy check with your practitioner.
