Supplements to help flush out heavy metals including radioactive particles

  • amino acids nac
  • beta glucan
  • bluegreen algae
  • chlorella tablets
  • cucumin
  • fruit pectin and others can all help as can oral chelation tablets
  • garlic
  • ginger
  • ginko biloba
  • magnesium
  • melatonin
  • diets high in carotenes significantly reduce DNA damage in humans exposed to radiation, and protect you from radiation-induced cancers. Lot's of;
      • orange and dark green foods
      • sweet potatoes
      • winter squash
      • beets
      • carrots
      • kale

      • radishes
      • cauliflower
      • mustard greens
      • bok choy

      • broccoli
  • Choose an image, an icon, something meaningful to you, as a focusing agent. Put your affirmations, visualizations, and healing love into it, for easy access when you need help
  • Miso broth is the classic food for prevention of radiation damage.
      • There’s twice the protection if a quarter-ounce/5 grams of dried kelp seaweed is added to the soup.
  • Black & green tea's
      • Tea catechins absorb radioactive isotopes and remove them from the body before they do damage
  • Reishii mushrooms
  • St. Joan’s/John's wort oil protects skin from radiation damage
      • Immediately effective in preventing and treating sunburn
  • Burdock root (Arctium lappa) removes radioactive isotopes from the body.
      • A dose is 1-4 ounces/300-120 grams of cooked fresh root, up to a pint of infusion daily, or several large spoonfuls of vinegar (but only if made with fresh roots)
  • Dried beans, especially lentils can reverse DNA damage done by radiation. So can red clover (Trifolium pratense) and astragalus (Astragalus membranaceous) - two powerful members of the legume (bean) family
  • Homeopathic remedies can be taken before and after exposure to radiation: Plumbum (lead) is said to help those who feel overwhelmed and in need of protection. Belladonna is used to prevent and relieve radiation burns and pains - even long after the immediate exposure
  • Selenium protects DNA from radiation damage and helps prevent damage to the skin surface, too. Get plenty of selenium by eating a daily dose of 2 cups/500 ml of nettle infusion, one-half ounce/15 g kelp, 2 ounces/60 g cooked burdock root, or 1 cup/250 ml organic yogurt daily. The best sources however are nettles (2200 mcg per 100 grams), kelp (1700 mcg/100 g), burdock (1400 mcg/100 g), catnip (Nepeta cataria), ginseng, Siberian ginseng, and astragalus.
  • In clinical trial with humans, those who took ginseng extract (Panax quinquefolium) for thirty days following exposure to radiation showed hastened recovery from injuries to their bone marrow, organs, skin, and blood cells
  • Keep yourself well nourished if you are exposed to radiation. Make it a habit to drink at least two big cups of nourishing herbal infusion daily. Nettles, red clover, and violet leaves supply generous amounts of the nutrients you need most: protein and minerals, especially potassium and zinc.
  • For best results, do not use capsules of the herbs mentioned above. Instead, cook with them, brew nourishing herbal infusions with them, make mineral-rich vinegars with them, or take a high-quality non-standardized tincture of them

To make a nourishing herbal infusion:

  • Put one ounce of dried herb into a quart jar; fill jar to the top with boiling water and cap tightly.
  • Strain after 4-8 hours and drink hot or cold.
  • Refrigerate what you don't drink right away; drink that within a day.

To make a vinegar:

  • Fill any size jar with fresh herb (best!!) or one quarter full of dried herb (not nearly so good).
  • Pour room temperature apple cider vinegar over the herb, filling jar to the top.
  • Cover with plastic wrap or a cork.
  • Label with date and name of plant.
  • Let sit for six weeks.
  • Decant into a pretty bottle and use to season soups, beans, and salads
