How to Reduce Your Risk of Radiation from Fukushima

Is There Anything We Can Do to Reduce Radiation Risks?

Doctors in Hawaii and the West Coast of North American are being bombarded with questions about how to protect ourselves from radiation from Fukushima.

This essay provides an introduction to some of the main concepts on reducing the risk from radiation. It is broken into the following sections:

Note: Each link will take you to these sections in "Washington's Blog"

I.    Step 1: Reduce Exposure
II.  Certain Minerals Can Reduce Absorption of Harmful Radiation
III. Other Vitamins and Minerals Which Protect Against Radiation Damage
IV.  Antioxidants: Helpful Weapons Against Radiation Damage
V.   Other Things Which Offer Some Radiation Protection
VI.  What To Do If Exposed to Extremely High Doses of Radiation

Note: The article mentions "Prussian Blue" for Cesium exposure. This is effective but a compound of Chlorella and Cilantro with apple pectin was just as effective after Chernobyl and is not  damaging to the digestive system. Prussian Blue is essentially a dye substance that can trap the cesium particles in the intestine. This is effective only if the cesium particles have not yet passed into the body. If time has passed Zeolite (Clinoptilolite), and other substances can help pull the particles from body tissues.  A little web research can yield some good result. Amazon has several good books on the subject and Dr. Sircus has excellent resources.
