It is thought that there were about 200 courageous individuals working in 15 minute shifts at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, fully aware of their continual radiation bombardment. Five have already died and apparently 15 others are seriously ill. Also not to be forgotten is that Governments subsidize the Nuclear Industry with our money and that Tokyo electric is sacrificing their workers to protect their financial investment. The growing DEAD ZONE around Fukushima will continue and expand. Never believe anything until it's been officialy denied" ~ Francis Claud Cockburn" Nuclear expert Helen Caldicott called Fukushima "an unprecedented absolute disaster, multiples worse than Chernobyl. The situation is very grim and not just for the Japanese people. Only one Chernobyl reactor blew, and it was only three months old with relatively little radiation. It burned out of control for only 10 days. Fukushima's have been operating for 40 years, and would hold about 30 times more radiation than Chernobyl. Radiation is energy that travels in waves and can't be seen, tasted, smelled, heard or felt. Some familiar sources of radition exposure are microwaves, wireless devices (use microwave signals), cell phones, radiation therapy, radio waves, visible light, electric blankets, X-Rays, TV, solar flares, ultraviolet light, industrial pollution, living near electrical transformers or near a nuclear plant. Microwave ovens were banned in the Soviet Union in 1976 because of their known health dangers. Microwave Radiation changes the molecular structure of food, rendering it harmful and completely void of nutritional value. Yet most North Americans use Microwave ovens daily. Exposure to Uranium, Radium and thorium, which occur naturally, are normally isolated geologically from the environment under shale and quartz. Man is responsible for disturbing them, digging them up and contaminating the environment. These naturally occuring elements are responsible for cellular mutations and cancers. There is a difference between external and internal radiation. Internal radiation absorbed by inhalation or ingestion becomes embedded in your cells, tissues and organs releasing destructive energy for the lifetime of the person, plant or animal. Non ionizing radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation produced by television, computers, high voltage electrical lines, radio waves, microwaves, radar stations, fluorescent lights & sunlamps. Non ionizing radition can disrupt, shake or move molecules. There are protections available for electromagnetic radiation. Ionizing radition is the more harmful, it produces charged subatomic particles from nuclear bombs, nuclear reactors, dental & medical Xrays, CT scans and is also used in food irradiation. Think of vibrations breaking glass, that is what happens at a cellular level, in your body, from ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation is insidious, these large subatomic particles travel until they are stopped. Your skin can easily stop them. A single alpha particle from Plutonium, Uranium, Americium or Radon can deliver a huge blast of radiation inside your body. This radiation energy can destroy your genetic material at a cellular level. Some people are more susceptible than others: * The elderly The smaller Beta particles can travel farther and are more penetrating than Alpha particles. Beta particles pose both internal and external risks to your body. Inhalation or ingestion are the most common methods of Beta assaults. Tritium binds with the most abundant element on earth, Hydrogen, which is a component of water. Once bonded with water, your DNA is irradiated internally. The most penetrating and damaging radiation are the Gamma rays and it mimics potassium in our bodies which collects in our muslces. Cesium 137, Iodine 141 and Iodine 129 emit Gamma rays. This is particularly dangerous for humans because we are at the top of the food chain, where the higher concentrations of radionuclides are. Most Common Diseases From Ionizing Radiation: * lung cancer * congenital malformations These diseases and mutations don't stop with us. If ionizing radiation enters our genes, not only does it cause irreversible damage to this generation, but to future generations, as evidenced by children being born years after Chernobyl. While the radiation from the wrecked Fukushima reactors continues, we hear about the safe, harmless and less than dangerous exposure levels. To convince the public that nuclear energey is safe governments have radiation exposure limits: * permissable radiation levels These levels are reached during routine operations or during emergencies and are found in the ground water, tap water, vegetables, milk, animals and humans. They are permitted under law, but are they really safe? The amount of natural Cosmic radiation we are exposed to in our daily lives is about 1 millisievert per year. Recently the Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary admitted that 1,500 millisieverts, per hour, were spewing from Fukushima. When you multiple 365 days in a year by 24 hours in a day, you get 8,760 yearly hours. Do you consider that safe? And that's just the figures that they admit to. That will continue 24 hours a day until it's stopped. Professor Higley head of nuclear engineering and radiation health physics at Oregon State University, said that the average person receives about one to two millisieverts a year from natural sources in their environments, and one chest x-ray yields about 0.2 millisievert. According to the World Nuclear Association Fifty millisieverts is the lowest cumulative annual dose for which there is evidence of radiation-related cancer in adults. When you ingest or inhale radioactive material it can go anywhere in your body and will stay there. In the 1950's researched showed that a single pelvic X-ray of a pregnant woman would double the rate of childhood leukemia in the unborn baby! Just 2 abdominal X-Rays to a male increase the risk of his children developing leukemia. CT scans are considerd to be low risks from radiation, yet a 40 year old woman has a 1 in 270 chance of getting cancer from a CT scan, a 20 year old has a 2 in 270 chance. In the US there are 70 million CT scans which cause 29,000 cancers yearly. Is this safe? Dental X-rays double your odds of getting thyroid cancer. Radiation risks are continually misrepresented. When you hear the news or some Nuclear or Health Official telling you that "only extremely low levels of radiation have been detected and therefore there is no need to be concerned, there is no health threat to the American public." It's not the loud noise that break glass molecules, it's the frequency. These extreme low levels of biologically significant radiation hit North America Mid March 2011. Low levels of radiation were found in Washington and California milk by the end of March. * Cesium 137 accumulates in fatty tissues, liver, spleen and muscles * Barium-140 causes bone tumors up to 30 years later In 1972 Dr Abram Petkau discovered that low levels of radiation, over a longer period of time, were more damaging than higher doses over a short period of time. The phenomenon of the Petkau Effect basically means that you are ionizing or irradiating yourself continuously from the inside out. This insidious burning at your molecular level will impair your body long before there is a diagnosable disease. Free radicals are generated during long term exposure to extremely low levels of radiation. which will exhaust our defenses unless our body has an abundant reserve of antioxidants. Without sufficient anitioxidants to combat the extreme low levels of radiation you will suffer from gene mutation, birth defects, infertility and increased risk for immune related disease and cancers. Damage Attributed To Free Radicals * Alzheimers * cataracts Isn't it easy to see how the above diseases would never be associated with low levels of radiation? What few are talking about is the harm that will be done if you don't take aggressive measures now. The first radiation from Japan hit the west coast March 18, 2011. By April 1 2011 the Fukushima radiation will have passed over all of North America leaving many areas with very low levels of radiation depending on jet stream distribution. As the jet stream coninues around the world some radioactive particles will fall with rain, snow or as dust particles, before it continues it's deadly circle. The number of radioactive particles may diminish but the STRENGTH of each particle does not diminish. When Reactor 2 at Fukushima melted down on March 29 the contents in the containment building released radiation 10 million times higher than during normal operations. Of course, you'll remember these figures were given by TEPCO Engineers, but the governement decided that these numbers were too high and the figures were revised downward. Some of the smaller radioactive particles like Uranium and Plutonium will reach the West Coast within the first week of April 2011, and then continue their lethal circle around the globe. The jet stream will control where they visit. Low levels of radiation will enter our food and water supply over the weeks and months ahead. Even after (when and if) Fukushima is decomissioned we can still expect numerous health problems. Many of these might ordinarily not be noticed by individuals, just part of life when a child develops leukemia, or when someone else gets cancer, or a friend develops a horrible immune system disorder, or people just don't seem as healthy as before. Dr Ernest Sternglass of University of Pittsburg presented the following infant mortality rate for the Pacific states, following chernobyl fallout in May 1986, just one month after Chernobyl: * May 1986 54% increase infant mortality in Washington state These problems will face those who inhale or ingest even the smallest particle of radioactive material: * increased learning defects There are direct lies and lies by ommission. April 11, 2011 TEPCO reluctantly admitted that Fukushima was now a Level 7, the worst possible. However, nobody disputes that it is multiple times worse than Chernobyl, yet there isn't any higher measurement. If TEPCO had admitted it sooner, would people have taken other precautionary measures? The total amount of radionuclides iodine-131 and caesium-137 released since the start of the accident until March 23rd 2011 is so high that they are equal to three class 7 accidents. and it continues until stopped. Chernobyl had one nuclear reactor and only 3 months of radiation while Fukushima has failures at four nuclear reactors which hold about 1,000 times more radiation than the bombs at Hiroshima, and 40 years of improper nuclear storage and numerous smaller nuclear events. All federal agencies that regulate radiactive expsoures agree that any radiation exposure raises the cancer risk. Chernobyl took aggressive action after only 10 days of buring out of control. They dumped tons of sand and Boron and began entombment procedures. TEPCO worsend the nuclear disaster by adding salt water! Are they that incompetent, do they believe the laws of chemistry cease to exist in Japan, or is there something more deliberate going on? Is this really about protecting future profits? "There is no safe level of exposure and there is no dose of (ionizing) radiation so low that the risk of a malignancy is zero"-- Dr. Karl Morgan, the father of Health Physics. The National Council on Radiation Protection says, "every increment of radiation exposure produces an incremental increase in the risk of cancer." In the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientis, "No Dose Too Low" Dr Ian Fairlie and Dr Marvin Resnikoff report "One can no longer speak of a 'safe' dose level." Mary Olson, of Nuclear Information and Resource Service writes, "Radiation carries a risk, not a certainty, of DNA damage at every level of exposure. An emission from a radionuclide that chanced to ride on your sandwich into your tummy, an exposure so tiny that it would never be measured, has the capacity to start what might become fatal cancer." This doesn't mention the diseases caused from a weakened immune system. March 21, 2011 Dr. Chris Busby at European Committee on Radiation Risk (ECCR) predicts 120,000 cancers worldwide from Fukushima accident based on current known releases. He also confirmed that three spent fuel pools are burned up which puts the radiatin levels at 24,000 Hiroshimas x 3 spent pools or 72,000 times the radiation of Hiroshima is now in the atmosphere. It appears that the truth about the Fukushima Nuclear disaster has yet to be told. Pro nuclear groups assure us that Nuclear energy is safe, and alleged experts twist and spin words to deceive us. Contaminated Fukushima particles are highly radioactive and are joining the jetstream giving off very toxic, dangerous radioactive waves. Fukushima is not the only facility with cooling problems and 40 year old technology. In order to keep the nuclear reaction in check and to prevent overheating, huge amounts of coolant are used and up to a million gallons of water per minute is used, which is why Nuclear power plants are located on the coast or near lakes or other water sources. Huge amounts of radioactive material are made to go through a chain reaction, a process in which atomic particles bombard the nuclei of atoms, causing them to break up and generate heat. "Nuclear power is one hell of a way to boil water!" Albert Einstein If the water which cools the reactor core containing 200,000 to 300,000 pounds of radioactive fuel, stops flowing, the emergency back up cooling system must immediately send water in to cool the core. Perhaps the Fukushima experts may now call this the "US Syndrome" where the nuclear accidnet seems to send it's radioactive core through the earth to the other side. Using seawater is insane to cool the reators is an act of desparation. The sodium in the sea water reacts and produces more hydrogen, everything touching, the pipes or concrete becomes radioactive. If there is a crack in a pipe the sodium reacts with moisture in the air and will explode. The radioactive sea water is run off into the ground and back into the sea carrying the radioactivity with it. This is unprecidented. Deliberately destroying sea water destroyes everything else. What logic would compel dumping 1-2 million gallons of radioactivy sea water back into the ocean? What long term disasters will this cause to all living organisms in the area, and beyond? A Nuclear power plant meltdown, or explosion from a nuclear bomb releases radioactive iodine-131 into the atmosphere, which is then carried via the Jet stream. The fallout disappates with distance and is heavily influenced by weather pressure systems directing it toward or away from areas. A variety of dangerous radioactive materials are present at Fukushima, including plutonium. But the most worrying are cesium-137 and iodine-131. Both vaporize easily and thus can disperse over large distances. When radiation is at the 400-millisieverts an hour level, the nuclear plant workers are at risk of radiation sickness. A total dose of 1,000 millisieverts a day can cause temporary radiation sickness leading to decreased blood count, nausea and other symptoms, but not death. However, the long term consequences are speculation because of damage to the immune system. Of particular concern at Fukushima are the spent fuel ponds which hold 5-10 times more radioactivity than the reactor core. It's estimated that Fukushima has 20-50 million curies, while Chernobyl's disaster released only about 40% of the core's 6 million curies. Fukushima is releasing radioactive iodine. Cesium 137. Iodine 131 and Iodine 129 emit Gamma rays. Cesium-137 mimics potassium inside the body, seeking out muscle. Iodine-131 is rapidly absorbed by the thyroid gland and increases the risk of thyroid cancer. The thyroid gland is the first to uptake radioactive iodine. When the thyroid is iodine deficient it accumulates the first available mineral, and the danger is if the first available mineral is radioactive. When radioactive iodine in inhaled it will accumulate and be trapped by the thyroid gland causing increased risk of radation induced thyroid cancer. Potassium iodide (KI) administered in pharmacologic doses (50-100 mg for adults) within 24 hours before or eight hours after radiation exposure can offer thyroid protection radiation exposure thus reducing the risk of thyroid cancer. In 1986 after the Chernobyl accident Poland used potassium iodide which explains less childhood thyroid cancer compared to areas where potassium iodide was not used. The Chernobyl nuclear plant was only 3 months old and the accident was a result of an April 25th 1986 miscalculated safety test that went critically wrong. Engineers deliberately closed down cooling to all 4 reactors at the same time to see if their emergency cooling systems would be properly triggered. A hydrogen bubble inside steel and concrete built up because the core was heating much faster than expected. The roof weighed 1,000 metric tons and was made of concrete and steel, designed to withstand and contain any nuclear explosion. The roof simply blew off, like a cork out of a Champaign bottle, and flipped over onto the core, completely smashing it. This caused the hydrogen to ignite. The core was not being cooled and the heat intensified to the point it melted through the reactor floor. Melting floor after floor, after floor...more of that phenomena known as The China Syndrome. Chernobyl only burned for 10 days. The Chernobyl crew dumped a mixture of sand and boron to soak up free neutrons which melted into glass. This mixture stuck to everything and slowed the heating of the core until it got thicker and thicker and finally stopped. Chernobyl was then encased in a lead, steel and cement sarcophogus. Radioactive waves do penetrate concrete breaking it down molecularly. Six foot extra layers of concrete are added to the sarcophogus every 5 years or soon and this must be done for the next 30,000 years. Twenty five years after meltdown, Chernobyl just keeps on giving, the radioactivity is so intense that even a 90 second exposure is equivelent to 250 X-rays! During those 10 days that Chernobyl was burning, radioactive particles were sent around the world, those who inhaled or ingested the particles received continuous, low levels of internal radiation exposure. The Chernobyl death estimates (from burning just 10 days) from April 1986 through 2004 estimate the mortality rates at 985,000, or a hundred times more than the WHO/IAEA calculations. On average, spent fuel ponds hold five to ten times more long-lived radioactivity than a reactor core. Particularly worrisome at Fukushima, is the large amount of cesium-137 in fuel ponds, which contain anywhere from 20 to 50 million curies of this dangerous radioactive isotope. With a half-life of 30 years, cesium-137 gives off highly penetrating radiation and is absorbed in the food chain as if it were potassium. Half life does not mean that it's gone in 30 years. After another 30 years, half of that half would remain (1/4-gram). In comparison, the 1986 Chernobyl accident released about 40 percent of the reactor core's 6 million curies. A 1997 report for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) by Brookhaven National Laboratory also found that a severe pool fire could render about 188 square miles uninhabitable, cause as many as 28,000 cancer fatalities, and cost $59 billion in damage. Reactors 1 & 3 are still operating today, providing 6,000 jobs and about 6% of the Ukraine's electricity. Reactor 2 was closed after a fire in 1991; the construction of Reactors 5 and 6 came to a grinding halt after the explosion. Much of the area is planted in Hemp and Sunflowers to soak up the radioactive contamination. My mother was with me in Germany and died of cancer 6 years after Chernobyl and did not eat processed foods, smoke, drink, or have any lifestyle factors that were conducive to cancer. It was Chernobyl. I also aggressively detoxed with clay and other herbs and she did not. While Fukushima will not rank among the best news any of us could experience, my faith and confidence in the forces of natural, healthy foods and herbal remedies that have helped me in the past, will not fail now. What is important to understand is that low levels of radiation are very harmful. What I did then, is what I'm doing now. * Eat Super Foods and Antioxidants daily. And all of our animals will also be included in this special care. And our soil where the garden is will be decontaminated before the garden is planted. Iodine comes from the Greek Word ioeides which means violet. Iodine is the largest of the 25 elements that make up the human body. Our depleted soils and poor diets cause many people to be iodine deficient. Iodine is a water soluable essential trace element that is fairly rare in our soils, but abundant in the sea. What Does Iodine Do? Iodine is required by the thyroid which regulates your emotions, metabolsim, hormones, ovaries, mammary glands, protein synthesis, strengthens the immune system, enzymatic activty. Your brain, skeletal and nervous sytem require Iodine. 30% of Iodine is utilized by the Thyroid gland, the remainder is used by the mammary glands, eye, gastric mucosa, cervix, thymus and salivary glands. Iodine also destroys viruses, cancerous cells and removes toxic chemicals, such as aluminum, mercury, fluoride, bromide and from the body. Stress depletes your body of iodine. Really, almost everyone is probably deficient in Iodine Iodine and certain natural healthy foods are goitrogens. * Broccoli, Chinese broccoli, Bok Choy, Bamboo shoots * Radishes, Rutabagas How Much Iodine Do I Need? Potassium iodide is available without prescription and may protect the thyroid against exposure to radioactive iodine if a sufficient amount is taken before or within 24 hours of the radiation exposure. It must continue to be taken every 24 hours until the emergency has passed. KI will not help with radiation damage to other parts of your body. The FDA has approved two different forms of KI, tablets and liquid, that people can take by mouth after a nuclear radiation emergency. Tablets come in two strengths, 130 milligram (mg) and 65 mg. According to the FDA, the following doses are appropriate to take after internal contamination with, or likely internal contamination, with radioactive iodine: * Adults should take 130 mg tablets OR two mL of solution * Breastfeeding women should take the adult dose of 130 mg If you're unable to find an oral source of iodine, you can still put Betadine or other Iodine tincture on your skin. DO NOT DRINK IT! This method is said to block thyroid radioactive iodine uptake up to 99 percent. You can paint a patch on the abdomen, or on your throat above your thyroid, it will be absorbed into your skin. Personally, I prefer super saturated Potassium iodide (SSKI) on the soles of the feet. Your body will absorb the amount that is needed and will deliver the KI to all organs of your body, including the thyroid gland. This is easy to do, can be done just before bed, you don't have to worry about taking too much. The acupuncture meridian lines loop through the feet and are very effective for delivery of herbs, oils & natural remedies. People in North America eat about 240 micrograms of Iodine daily. The Japanese eat lots of seaweed and other sea vegetables which protect them from the harmful effects of radioactive iodine. For thyroid protection they should not need to take additional iodine supplements. Their abundant consumption of iodine rich foods helps their thyroid but more will be needed to protect their other organs from radiation damage. High Iodine Foods * Consuming foods rich in natural iodine helps protect the uptake of radioactive iodine-131 * Vitamin B12 inhibits cobalt Eating these natural healthy foods will help supply sufficient iodine and boost other mineral levels. This is a very important time to ensure that you are eating organic food rather than pesticide sprayed or false foods. Iodine concentrations differ and are found to some degree in every living plant and animal. * Chlorella, Bladderwrack, sea vegetables, Kelp, Dulse * eggs, liver, raw goat milk, yogurt, salmon My personal health plan will have several aspects, while I'm including extra detoxification and bone support precautions, many of these things are already a part of my normal healthy lifestyle. * Protecting the thyroid with sufficient Iodine supplements and food * Bone support Protecting the thyroid and other organs and Ayurvedic Herbal Detox Remedies or the tasty and time proven classic blends of Organic Burdock root, Organic Sheep sorrel, Organic Slippery elm powder and Organic Rhubarb root powder Organic Essiac Tea Kelatox EDTA Detox is a potent, time released, rectal suppository that releases Calcium Disodium EDTA directly into the blood via the colon to bind with and remove harmful heavy metals from your body. Each suppository will dissolve through body heat and gradually spread over the lining of the colon and be absorbed directly into the blood stream in approximately 90-120 minutes. In this wireless technology and polluted environment detox is something I do on a regular basis, now thanks to Fukushima, it will be forever. N-Acetyl-Cysteine is a simple sulfur containing amino acid that offers potent protection from toxic metals. It acts as a stabilizer for the formation of protein structures, and for the formation of Glutathione. NAC can be used on a daily basis to help your body build antioxidant defenses against free radicals. NAC is inexpensive and very effective. 1,000mg of Vitamin C 3 times daily, supplies a good distribution of antioxidants. Milk Thistle Offers powerful liver protecting & cleansing properties. It doesn't really wash or cleanse the liver, but rather causes an irritation that enables the liver to slough off dead, diseased or damaged cells, while replacing them with healthy vibrant ones, the liver under goes a cleansing. It prevents damage and improves function. Milk thistle supports healthy digestions and many various liver related illnesses. It's believed to accelerate the regeneration and production of liver cells and increases the effectiveness of an antioxidant found in the liver. Our earth provides us with everything that we need for our health. Natural Clays can be used for detoxificaiton on a daily basis or when exposed to radiation. If you're not used to taking clay internally start with small amounts, I use 1 tsp daily on an empty stomach. French Green Clay has enormous absorbent powers due to the constitution of its micro molecules. It literally "drinks" oils, toxic substances, and impurities from your body and skin. Radioactive material carries a positive ionic charge. Calcium Bentonite Clay is a negatively charged ion. Calcium Bentonite Clay adsorbs and absorbs, capturing positive charged ions, that are safely bound and pass through your body. Bentonite is a naturally occurring from volcanic ash sediments. Traditionally used as an internal supplement to assist in mineral deficiencies, and to help bind toxins making them more soluble. Animals happily drink water with clay and it also aids in removing internal parasites. Herbal detoxificaiton work great when combined with teas or clays. They're inexpensive, gentle and effective. Something as simple as Baking Soda also helps remove radioactive particles. Edible Earth * Augments Digestive Efficiency Activated Charcoal is good to keep on hand, it adsorbs and binds toxins and safely removes them from your body. Oregano was the first plant to grow back after Hiroshima and Chernobyl. Oregano has a powerful, spicy, herbaceous aroma. Powerful as an antioxidant, helps relieve arthritis, asthma, body odor, emphysema, glaucoma, high blood pressure, HIV, sinusitis, has 22 antibacterial chemicals, is an excellent anti-inflammatory, anti oxidant, antiseptic, anti-spasmodic, has numerous anti tumor properties, works well as a fungicide and is good as an expectorant. Oregano essential oil is very potent as an antiseptic and kills viruses, bacteria, fungus and parasites. Said to be beneficial for respiratory conditions, contains analgesic properties and works as an expectorant. Said to have inhibitory effects against 25 different bacteria including animal and plant pathogens. An excellent germicide capable of killing various fungi. In the entire table of elements, including subatomic particles, there is only one mineral that is capable of accepting and ionizing radiation that never changes the innards or the nucleus of the cell, and that element is Boron. Bone meal powder will also protect against radioactive strontium poisoning and penetration of uranium into bone. I consider this additional to what I would normally be doing, but certainly worth it. Bone Meal Powder is a natural source of minerals derived from cattle raised in the United States. This sterilized and sanitary Bone Meal Powder is tested for heavy metals such as lead and aluminum to assure the lowest levels possible. Bone Builder is an exquisite comprehensive bone support formula featuring microcrystalline hydroxyapatite concentrate (MCHC). MCHC is a crystalline compound composed primarily of calcium, phosphorus, bone-derived growth factors, protein matrix, and trace minerals - ingredients that naturally comprise healthy bone. Bone Builder stands apart from other calcium formulas: * Bioavailable calcium, minerals, and organic factors for bone nourishment. Strontium is a naturally occurring mineral present in water and food. Trace amounts of strontium are found in the human skeleton. Strontium has an affinity for bone and is taken up at the bone matrix crystal surface. The influence of strontium on the bone metabolism has been researched since the 1950's. Studies indicate that strontium positively effects bone metabolism to promote bone formation and decrease bone resorption, leading to normalized bone density. If you want to make sure that you're getting plenty of antioxidants, you could consider some of the convenient Antioxidant supplements and powders. The powders can also be included with other Super Foods Probiotics with several billion organisims per capsule per meal protects against radioactive Strontium 90. This superior combination of 29 probiotic microflora "Soil Based-Organisms (SBOs)" uniquely combined with a humic/fulvic acid prebiotic that enhances SBO proliferation.

Tocotrienols (Rice Bran Solubles) There are over 100 known antioxidants in Rice Bran Solubles. Antioxidants are vitamins, minerals, or enzymes that help protect the body from the formation of free radicals and the formation of degenerative diseases. Free radical damage is thought by scientists to be the basis for the aging process. The Rice Bran Solubles contain natural occurring selenium, CoQ10, alphalipoic acid, flavonoids, glutathinone peroxidase, 28 unnamed tocotrienols and various tocopherols just to name a few, all forming a wealth of anti-oxidants for the body to draw from when exposed to viral, bacterial infections, and low levels of radiation. Your body cannot manufacture a single mineral. And yet, minerals are constituents of bones, muscle, blood, nerve cells, teeth and soft tissue. Minerals allow the body to assimilate vitamins. The following minerals are found in Rice Bran Solubles: Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Iron, Zinc, Manganese, Copper, Iodine, along with many other trace minerals. Is there anything that tastes more fresh, crisp and delicious than fresh sprouts? Sprouts offer the most bio available nutrition of any food in the plant or animal kingdom. Freshly Freeze Dried Sprout Powders combine the nutritional benefits of sprouts, hemp, fruit & vegetable superfoods. This potent formula supplies the body with a raw source of plant protein and nutrients essential for a healthy and fit lifestyle.

WOW! There are dozen of great interactive radiation maps that track the jet streams at surface, 2500m and 5,000 mt. There is a lot of different information for the various radioactive materials that are circling the world. It seems inconceivable that Tokyo Electric doesn't view Fukushima as a futile battle. It's doubtful that their representatives or government officials, or ours, will suddently become truthful. While we all hope for a full containment to stop further radiation risks, the question of why it's not been entombed as Chernobyl was, must be asked. How much longer will they allow it to destroy the land, sea and air? The Jet stream moves west, reaching the West coast of North America first and spreading from there. Depending on the day, some days it reached Alaska first, some days it was Oregon and California. The Earth is living, moving and continually active. Where and how we live has a very significant impact on how any man made or natural disaster will effect us. Living in a high rise building in a huge city with few roads out of town will create a different scenario than living far outside of a city. For example, we are 12 miles outside of SmallTown USA. The small town is <4,000, population, the entire county is <20,000. Portland Oregon is 2.5 hours away, Seattle is almost 5 hours away. No tall buildings here, plenty of game, fish and open areas. This type of area is where many city people will try to find friendly faces if they need to get out of Dodge. Most people have gardens, can food, have private water wells, many are off grid and are already on the "leading edge" of being poor. You can't eat money though, can you? It's good that we use our own intelligence to evaluate risks and try to avoid them. Just like calling ahead for a winter pass report. No point in charging head first into an avalanche if you can avoid it. We can't control the winds, we can only adjust our sails and act accordingly. No matter what happens in the days and years to come, we'll all be making some type of preparation, alterations to our lives and adjusting our sails and try to stay informed. Not much point in a panic. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top Page Up Full Thread Page Down Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 2.
