Prevent Radiation Sickness Naturally
There is evidence from both past experience and research results that eating certain foods and destressing can help prevent radiation sickness from exposure to nuclear radiation.
Historic Radiation Sickness Methods in Japan
In 1945, at the time of the atomic bombing of Japan, Dr. Tatsuichiro Akizuki was Director of the Department of Internal Medicine at St. Francis’s Hospital in Nagasaki. Most patients in the hospital, which was located one mile from the center of the blast, survived the initial effects of the bomb – but came down with symptoms of radiation sickness from the fallout.
The doctor fed his staff and patients a strict diet consisting of: brown rice, miso and tamari soy soup, wakame, kombu and other seaweed, Hokkaido pumpkin, and sea salt. He prohibited the consumption of sugar and sweets to help prevent radiation sickness from pre-existing exposure..
Dr. Akizuki saved everyone in his hospital, while many others in the area died from radiation sickness. (1)
Research in Canada
In 1968, researchers in Canada reported that sea vegetables contain a polysaccharide substance that selectively binds radioactive strontium and helps eliminate it from the body, thereby providing protection from radiation sickness.
In laboratory experiments sodium alginate prepared from kelp, kombu, and other brown seaweeds off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada along with radioactive strontium was introduced into rats. Calcium was also used to increase the uptake of the radioactive materials into the bones. A second control group did not receive the seaweed-source sodium alginate.
In the group that DID receive the seaweed-source sodium alginate, the bone uptake of the radioactive particles measured in the femur was 80% less than the control group. This indicates a possbile way to prevent radiation sickness from nuclear radiation exposure.
This 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 post-contamination remedies. (2)
Whole Grains and Radiation Sickness
Whole grains such as brown rice (but not refined grains) can help prevent radiation sickness caused by radiation exposure in at least five ways:
1. Grains are low on the food chain. Although they may have been exposed to pollution and radiation, they do not have the concentration of contaminants found in meat and large fish.
2. The high fiber and phosphorous contents in grains is important with respect to radiation protection. The binding ability of these substances helps the body remove all poisons.
3. The natural bulking factor of grains lessens the intestinal transit time, speeding up the elimination of toxins.
4. Whole grains are neither very acid nor very alkaline. They help us maintain the middle-range pH been long proven to increase resistance to radiation.
5. Whole grains provide vitamin B6, which is very important for the thymus. Their calcium content guards against the uptake of radioactive strontium. The vitamin E and selenium in whole grains also helps prevent the cellular damage and aging caused by free radicals. (3)
The Second Component
An EQUALLY IMPORTANT source of protection and recovery from radiation sickness is STRESS REDUCTION.
This is far more important than most people realize.
The concern, worry and resulting stress related to the recent threat of exposure to radiation is severe!
Stress IMMEDIATELY attacks your immune system., and supresses its ability to fight the effects of radiaition exposure.

Disaster Preparedness Tips
Earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, tsumanis, hurricanes and industrial failures are happening around the world at an alarming frequency today. Disaster preparedness is of increasing importance.
It’s no accident the Red Cross, our churches,and the media news are now telling us to “Be prepared.”
Dr. Jill Ammon-Wexler of Quantum-Self here. I have personally been through three disasters – including two major earthquakes, and being stuck on a remote mountain in an old VW in the middle of a very intense blizzard.
Each time I was thankful for the disaster preparedness supplies I always keep at home and in my car.
From my heart, I suggest you consider setting up home and car emergency preparedness kits.
Preparing a Disaster Preparedness Kit
Include some energy-intense foods, water, a rain poncho, a space blanket, a good multi-purpose knife, a flashlight and extra batteries, first aid supplies, water purification tablets, a water container, a way to start a fire, some rope, etc.
Think ahead for yourself and those you love.
I personally buy pre-made kits from the company that also supplies the Red Cross, the US Marine Corps, and several major world-wide preparedness and disaster support organizations. I trust their integrity and the reliability of their products.
Free Disaster Preparedness Videos
From my heart I urge you to spend a few minutes to view their VIDEOS on how to prepare yourself and your family for the *increasing probability* of future major earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, nuclear power plant failures, and other earth-related and weather disasters.
What you will learn about disaster preparedness could prove very important to you and your loved ones. Watch videos NOW

The Intelligence of Smart Plants

Do Plants Really Think?
There’s new research indicating that smart plants really are intelligent. They can communicate with each other, and even call in reinforcements when the going gets tough.
Who says so? Australian gardener Don Burke and Australian National University chemistry Professor Ben Selinger, in reviewing research on smart plants over the past 10 years, have come to the conclusion that many plants are actually very smart, and have qualities that can only be called “intelligent.”
Smart plants communicate with each other using a range of chemical signals. “If a plant muncher such as a caterpillar … starts chewing on a plant, the plant will start sending chemicals to its leaves in an effort to repel the chewer,” Burke said. “(And) nearby plants will also start emitting these same chemicals, anticipating that they’ll also be attacked.”
Burke also said plants are also smart in another way — they’re capable of releasing specific chemicals that attract certain protective insects. “So … they call in good insects to fight the insects that are attacking them,” he added.
Scientists have identified the plant genes responsible for these “smart plant” actions, and are trying to combine it with other plants, Burke said. The breakthrough, recently published in the journal Science, suggested that its possible gardeners and farmers may not have to use pesticides any more.
“It has huge implications for the world,” Burke said. “In years ahead, instead of pouring vast amounts of toxic chemicals all over the world and therefore ourselves in one form or another, we should be able to add these genes, which are naturally occurring genes in plants, to other plants, so that they can also repel insects.”
Burke said plants also used a lot of other smart qualities. “Venus Fly Traps or sensitive plants can move, pitchers plants can eat animals, peaches and cherry trees can count the number of cold days each year before they produce their leaves in spring,” he explained.
Australian National University chemistry Professor Ben Selinger described the smart plant research as astounding. “Plants have always been sort of relegated as primitive compared to animals and it’s just not true,” he said. But there’s still room for a lot more research in the smart plants area.
