      We are all aware of the massive earthquake that struck Japan on March 11, 2011. This disaster has forever changed the country of Japan, and it is possible that it may have changed the entire world as well. Truth be told, Fukushima is an international disaster! The catastrophic events in Japan subsequent to the earthquake and tsunami have resulted in colossal damage to the Fukushima nuclear plant and massive releases of radiation into the air and ocean.
 
      To accurately compare the below information on Chernobyl, to the amount of radiation being released at Fukushima, please consider that the Chernobyl accident was on one reactor and it burned for 8 to 10 days. At Fukushima there are 6 reactors that have now failed. Along with the 6 failed reactors the Fukushima Daiichi plant is storing over 600,000 spent fuel rods. These rods represent 40 years of exchanged, highly radioactive rods, which are being stored on site, with 70% of these old rods now being exposed. The Fukushima disaster has been uncontained for almost a month at this writing, and is continuing.
 
      The types of radiation presently being reported include Iodine-131, Xenon-133, and Cesium-134, and Cesium-137, while the release of uranium and plutonium is not even being addressed. Despite the fact that the health “authorities” (and I use that term loosely) insist that the levels of radioactive isotopes being released from Fukushima are “harmless” to people living outside of Japan, those assurances were not adequate to prevent the U.S. military from preparing the, “Mandatory evacuation of thousands of American troops and their families in Japan out of concern over rising radiation levels,” reports CNN. (LINK) Will any of this radiation travel to North America and then into our bodies? Sadly, the answer is “YES.” Actually, it’s already happened. Numerous measurements show that radiation from the Fukushima disaster has been detected on both coasts of the USA, from California to New York. The Virginia Department of Health has issued a warning to state residents not to drink rainwater (LINK) and according to Energy News, radioactive Iodine-131 in a rainwater sample near San Francisco was 18—100% above federal drinking water standards (LINK).
 
      Don’t listen to the buffoons (like Ann Coulter) (LINK) who insist that nuclear radiation is “good for you” and will “prevent cancer.” Hey, perhaps they should all take a vacation to Japan and bathe in the “healing waters” at the Fukushima plant. Perhaps all the doctors who inject their cancer patients with radioactive iodine will join them. You see, the medical establishment is not “sounding the alarm” about the spreading radioactive contamination from Japan (that is currently circling around the globe) because conventional oncologists use radioactive iodine (which causes cancer) to “treat” thyroid cancer. Did you know that a 10,000 mSV dose of radiation is fatal? Guess how much radiation is given in a typical radiation cancer treatment? You ready? 20,000 mSV!! Double the fatal dose.

      So, don’t be shocked if the medical establishment announces that radioactive iodine from Fukushima is good for the public and will save money because cancer patients will not need to pay for their radioactive iodine injections! According to Dr. Mark Sircus:

Gee people, don’t you see how ‘retarded ignorance’ rules in the CDC, FDA, AMA, WHO and dozens of other medical organizations? Stupid does not quite cover it does it? Now we know it’s criminal, it’s greed, and it’s the politics of power and darkness on earth at its best. Why should we be alarmed about nuclear fallout of radioactive iodine? Doctors use it so why should we be afraid of breathing it, eating it or taking it for breakfast in our milk and coffee? And why take nutritional iodine? It will only interfere with the uptake of the radioactive type! That’s what oncologists seem to want and it seems that is why these are the last people on earth we should trust during a nuclear crisis. (LINK)

      As of April 4, 2011, TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company) announced it had released 10,000 tons of radioactive water directly into the Pacific Ocean. Does this remind you of the BP debacle last summer in the Gulf? You see, Fukushima is killing the Pacific Ocean just like BP killed the Gulf. Folks, we are only a few weeks into this escalating nuclear disaster with no end in sight. In the next following weeks, as the meltdown continues, we will likely see a repeat or perhaps an intensification of the radiation being spewed from Fukushima. The emission of nuclear radiation will continue for an indefinite period of time—perhaps several years—being carried by the jet stream across the Pacific Ocean to North America.
    
      So what should you do? Well, if you’re the Environment Protection Agency (EPA), there’s only one option: Change the definition of “SAFE” levels of radiation. (LINK) I’m not joking. The level of insanity at the EPA is monumental. You see, the EPA, which is supposedly in charge of “protecting” the environment, is seeking to raise the PAGs (Protection Action Guides) to levels up to 100,000 times higher than current levels. This will, in turn, make it much easier for the mainstream media to obscure the truth about the dangers of the radiation coming from Japan, since all of this toxic radiation will be “within EPA guidelines” for allowable levels.
 
      In the words of Mike Adams, the Health Ranger:

Ah, the fascination of watching this tragic comedy of errors unfold in the U.S. government almost cannot be exceeded. But Canada is sure trying. Its own nuclear monitoring network has simply been shut off, and its website now reads ‘Please note that as of March 25, 2011, the frequency of data collection by NRCan using the mobile surveys has been decreased due to the low levels of radiation being detected.’ … Yep, since they’re detecting low levels of radiation, this is apparently justification for turning off the monitors altogether, which of course is the kind of brilliant early warning plan that could have only been dreamed up by a brain-dead bureaucrat. (LINK)

      On April 16, 2011 it was reported that levels of radioactive materials in the seawater (off Japan’s coast) rose again. The level of radioactive Iodine-131 jumped to 6,500 times (LINK) the legal limit, according to samples taken the previous day. Levels of Cesium-134 and Cesium-137 were both over 1,000 times the legal limit. TEPCO claimed that the alarmingly high readings were caused by a gauge that was “most likely” broken (according to The New York Times). The gauge was most likely broken? You’ve got to be kidding me! That “excuse” kind of reminds me of a second grader that tells his teacher that “the dog ate my homework.” Not to be left out of the “prevarication party,” on April 4, the Japanese government requested that the Japan Meteorological Society and Japanese universities not release data from radiation measurement to avoid “public panic.”
 
      While it is unlikely that the radiation exposure level in North America will be high enough to cause radiation sickness, it’s a fact that long term, low level exposure and the resulting accumulation of radiation in the body can result in increased risk of cancer, amongst other health problems. Please don’t fool yourself. Whether you live in the USA or Canada or Europe or Asia, you ARE being exposed to radiation from Japan. In California, radioactive Iodine-131 in rainwater was recently measured at 181 times above drinking water standards. Uranium-234 (with a half-life of 245,500 years) has been found in Hawaii, California, and Washington. Milk samples (from Arizona, Arkansas, Washington, and Hawaii, to name a few states) have shown elevated levels (between 600% and 800% above normal) of Iodine-131, Cesium-134, and Cesium-137. Why is this milk contamination significant? Because milk represents the overall condition of the entire food chain, since cows consume grass and are exposed to the same elements as the crops. So, when milk tests positive for radiation, it indicates that the entire food supply is contaminated since cows eat grass. When grass is contaminated, then everything grown in the same soil is also contaminated.
 
      The good news is that you don’t have to die (or even get sick) from radiation exposure. There are ways to mitigate the damage caused by radiation. There is nothing more urgent in the field of medicine than learning (and implementing) the most effective methods to eliminate radiation contamination and other toxic poisons from the body. According to Dr. Jose Benavente (past Director of Public Health in Venezuela):

The only way to correctly manage radiation damage is to address the real cause, not the symptoms. The body will heal if it is given the correct tools to do so. The correct tools are specific nutrients.

      The remainder of this article will be devoted to several effective methods to protect yourself and your family from the toxic nuclear radiation coming from Japan. This is not an “all-inclusive” list, by any means, but it’s a good start. And you must remember that sugar and sweets suppress the immune system and MUST BE AVOIDED at all costs!!
 
LIFE ONE & VITAMIN B

DISCLAIMER: The New Era Times in no way endorses any of the products mentioned in this article. Always be your own advocate and do your research.

      There are many products available to bolster your immune system and I would assume that almost any of them would be better than not doing anything, but some are better than others. I know the physician who developed the LifeOne formula, and it is the BEST immune system enhancer that I have seen. Nothing else comes close in my opinion. You can do your own research on this, but please do something to protect your immune system ... because it is what protects you. One of the detrimental effects of radiation is neuropathy (damaged nerves). According to Dr. Jose Benavente:

It has been known for some time that increased levels of Thiamine (vitamin B1) in the blood stream are very effective in reducing and reversing neuropathy (damaged nerve cells). It is needed by the body to heal the nerve damage. Neuropathy has also been found to be made worse by deficiencies of vitamin B12 in the body. Vitamin B12 supports the sheathing that protects nerve cells and has shown in studies that it promotes the regeneration and growth of nerve cells. Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that helps keep the body’s nerve and blood cells healthy and is essential for making DNA, the genetic material in all cells. B12 and folate (folic acid) are B complex vitamins that are necessary for normal red blood cell formation, tissue and cellular repair, and the synthesis of DNA. A B12 and/or folate deficiency reflects a chronic shortage of one or both of these vitamins, and a supplement should be taken.

     The best B vitamin supplement that I have found is called "Supreme B".
 
ZEOLITES
 
      Zeolites are naturally occurring minerals formed by volcanic ash as it meets salt water. Considered GRAS (generally recognized as safe) by the FDA, zeolites possess a unique, complex crystalline structure and have been used for almost 1,000 years as a traditional remedy throughout Asia to promote overall health. One amazing property of zeolites is that their honeycomb framework of cavities and channels (like cages) work at the cellular level trapping heavy metals and toxins. Zeolite is also very effective in removing radiation and was used in the cleanup of both Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. As a matter of fact, at Chernobyl, the people had a 30% reduction in radioactive isotopes after the very first application of Zeolite! According to Japan News Today, (LINK) TEPCO has been dumping zeolites (weighed down with sandbags) near a water outlet from the Fukushima Daiichi plant in an effort to reduce the spread of radiation into the Pacific Ocean.
 
      Zeolites are one of the few negatively charged minerals in nature. Basically, they act as magnets, attracting positively charged heavy metals and toxins, capturing them, and removing them from the body. They are an extremely effective chelating agent. Here’s how: within the structure of the zeolites, there are certain “cages,” inside of which are positive ions. The positive ions switch places with the heavy metals or radioactive particles, which are also positive ions, and then the cage structure of zeolites tightly binds them. One amazing quality of this “caged binding” effect is that the toxins, heavy metals, and radioactive particles are 100% excreted. In other words, they don’t get “relocated” to another spot in the body, they actually get evicted!
 
      The Zeolite product which is head and shoulders above the rest is called Super-Z-Lite™ and is manufactured by Omica Organics.

NOTE: Please take notice that sustained use of zeolites may deplete the body of many of the necessary minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium, etc., which are extremely important to the body. So, use of zeolites should be "cycled" on and off in two week intervals.

IODINE
 
      Iodine is one of the most useful medicinal substances. We all need iodine to survive; it is essential for human physiology and our health is dependent upon the presence of sufficient quantities of iodine. Radioactive iodine will fill up all of the iodine receptor cites that have no iodine in them (due to iodine deficiencies). This is a serious problem because over 90% of people in North America, according to Dr. David Brownstein, are iodine deficient. The body can’t tell the difference between “good” and “bad” (i.e. radioactive) iodine, so taking “good” iodine tablets can protect the thyroid from injury by “filling up” the gland—thus preventing it from filling up with radioactive iodine.
 
      We have lots of information from Russia about the use of iodine to protect the thyroid. In Poland the use of iodine dosages was found to effectively protect children’s thyroids from cancer. The risk for cancer of the thyroid is much greater in children requiring much lower exposure to Iodine-131 than it does for adults. Same goes for pregnant women or lactating women. It is a good time to remember words from Dr. Jeff Patterson, former president of Physicians for Social Responsibility. “There is no safe level of radionuclide exposure, whether from food, water or other sources. Period! Exposure to radionuclides, such as Iodine-131 and Cesium-137, increases the risk of cancer. For this reason, every effort must be taken to minimize the radionuclide content in food and water.” (LINK) Now that radioactive levels have exceeded “safe limits” across North America, Dr. Patterson’s statement is even more pertinent. My family takes Iodoral each day to make sure that our thyroid glands are filled with good iodine.
 
LIVING FUEL Rx "SUPER SHAKES"

      Each and every day, my family drinks a large LivingFuel Rx "super shake" made with LivingFuel Rx SuperGreens, SuperBerry, and Living Protein (along with almond milk and frozen fruit). This "super shake" contains whole food concentrates, superfoods like spirulina and sea vegetables, enzymes, probiotics, amino acids, herbs, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, all without using any refined sugars, artificial sweeteners, soy protein or other offensive ingredients. Radiation exposure can kill the cells that line the gastro-intestinal tract, which in turn can cause radiation-induced diarrhea and vomiting. So it is vital to supplement with a good probiotic (like lactobacillus acidophilus) to re-establish the healthy flora used in normal digestion that will help to reduce the diarrhea and vomiting. This is a common side effect of people undergoing radiation therapy. Did you know that spirulina (a micro-algae) was used heavily by the Russians after the Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster? Micro-algae are very rich in nutrients and have the capability to bind to toxins and sweep them out of the body. Spirulina enhances the immune system that is normally compromised by radiation, alkalizing and purifying the blood and restoring its chemistry, and it contains high proportions of metallo-thionine compounds which combine with radioactive metals so they can be eliminated.

      Also, the terms "free radicals" and "antioxidants" have become broad terms used by researchers, marketers, and the public to simplify the complex discussion of reactive oxygen species. There are five major classes of free radicals or oxidants, which are more accurately described as "reactive oxygen species." The five reactive oxygen species (commonly referred to as radicals) that cause oxidative damage in the human body are—hydroxyl, peroxyl, peroxynitrite, singlet oxygen, and superoxide anion. These processes are important biochemical processes within the body, but left unregulated can lead to hyper-aging, dysfunction, disease, and death. Fortunately, we have available to us today a wide range of very potent antioxidants, which can scavenge and neutralize free radicals before they have a chance to cause disease. The reason that my family supplements with Living Fuel Rx EVERY DAY is that it contains antioxidants which protect against ALL FIVE major classes of free radicals. I am unaware of any other product which is able to make this claim.
 
SODIUM BICARBONATE (BAKING SODA)
 
      Each day, my family takes our “baking soda” drink, composed of 1 tsp of baking soda in 8 ounces of water (for me and my wife) and ¼ tsp of baking soda in 4 ounces of water (for the children). Why? Ingesting sodium bicarbonate diminishes the severity of the changes produced by uranium in the kidneys. The kidneys are usually the first organs to show chemical damage upon uranium exposure.
 
     Oral doses or infusions of sodium bicarbonate help alkalize the urine and render uranium ions less toxic to the kidneys. Sodium bicarbonate binds with uranium and promotes its excretion from the body thus reducing the severity of the damage caused by radiation. Sodium bicarbonate can also be added to bath water for full body detoxification. The suggested amount is one pound for a low grade exposure and up to five pounds for an acute radiation exposure. Sodium bicarbonate is also very effective in removing uranium from contaminated surfaces and from the soil. Regular intake of sodium bicarbonate is perhaps the simplest and easiest way to maintain good health. Here is an excellent article. (LINK) written by Dr. Mark Sircus on bicarbonate and glutathione nebulization.
 
MINERALS
 
      Did you know that of the 90 nutrients essential to human health, the minerals (as opposed to the vitamins, amino acids, and fatty acids) comprise 60 out of 90? Plants can manufacture vitamins, amino acids, lipids, carbohydrates, fatty acids, fiber, etc., but they cannot manufacture minerals. They must get the minerals they need and we need from the soil in which they grow. Our diets are impoverished and our health put at risk due to the impoverishment of our range and crop soils. In today’s world of low nutrient content foods, processed food and high carbohydrate diets it is essential that we supplement with high quality colloidal minerals.
 
      The best minerals (by a LONG shot) I have researched are the Majestic Earth Minerals, which provide plant-derived colloidal minerals. They are leeched from a prehistoric plant mineral known as “humic shale” which comes from Southeastern Utah. These minerals have a negative electrical charge, which is the signature of the true plant derived mineral. This has two very important benefits. One, it greatly increases the transport and bio availability of other nutrients derived from foods and/or vitamins and other supplements. And two, it will attract toxins, heavy metals, and radioactive particles from the body and flush them out.
 
      Each day, my entire family drinks our Youngevity “Beyond Tangy Tangerine” multi-vitamin mineral complex (from Majestic Earth Minerals). It tastes fantastic and the kids love it. In addition to the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, Beyond Tangy Tangerine also contains glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, CoQ10, and grape seed extract. It is safe for diabetics and children.
 
 CALCIUM BENTONITE CLAY
 
      Calcium Bentonite Clay has a uniquely strong negative ionic charge. When activated with water it works like a strong magnet, adsorbing and absorbing anything with a positive ionic charge, such as radiation and toxins. The clay captures these substances and removes them as the clay is eliminated or washed off.
 
      According to Cheryl McCoy, who manages the website www.AboutClay.com:

To remove radiation from your produce, Perry Arledge, author of ‘Living Clay, Nature’s Own Miracle Cure’, recommends starting with liquid clay. This is Calcium Bentonite Clay mixed with water at a ratio of 1 part clay to 8 parts water. In a large non-metallic bowl, mix 1/4 cup of liquid clay with 1 quart of water. Toss your fruits or vegetables in this clay water making sure they’re completely covered and let them sit for about 10 minutes. Rinse and dry them, and store them as you normally would. You can add Calcium Bentonite Clay to your milk and drinking water if you’re concerned about the possibility of contamination there as well. Add approximately 1 ounce of liquid Calcium Bentonite Clay to a gallon of organic raw milk or water. Some people prefer to let the clay settle to the bottom of the liquid and discard that portion, while others prefer to shake it up and drink them together. Either is fine. Once a contaminant is ‘caught’ by the clay it will not be released, and the clay cannot be digested by your body. All contaminants adsorbed by the clay will be removed upon elimination. And it’s always a good practice to take one to two ounces of liquid Calcium Bentonite Clay twice a day, to keep your body detoxed.” (LINK)

NOTE: I would advise caution here. Sustained use of edible clay will deplete the body of many of the necessary minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium, etc., which are extremely important to the body. As an example, magnesium is vital for sustaining the normal heartbeat and is used by physicians to treat irregular heart rhythm. So, edible clay must be "cycled" on and off, and should not be used for a sustained period of time.

     In conclusion, you do NOT have to believe that there is a cover up taking place. You do NOT have to believe that the escaping radiation is extremely dangerous. However, you DO have to accept that the disaster happened, and as a result, large amounts of radiation are pouring into the environment. With that you have to accept that the levels of measurable radiation have increased everywhere in the world. The future will reveal the real truth, but the time to protect yourself is now.
 
God bless.
