"The amount of research into and public knowledge about
internal exposure to radiation is still limited because the United States
"concealed" information about the problem for a long time after it
dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, Hida says.
A native of Hiroshima, he was serving as an
army doctor there when he was exposed to radiation from the atomic bomb. He has
since treated more than 6,000 survivors and worked as a director of the counseling
center at the Japan Confederation of A- and H-Bomb Sufferers Organizations.
“Once radiation gets into the human body, it leads to long-term
exposure to low-dose radiation,” he says. “That could pose a greater risk to
human health, such as developing cancer and damaging the immune system, than
short-term exposure to a higher level of radiation."
I will be adding information to this article as more
research is conducted. I have no
intention of listing potential problems without providing potential solutions.
Radioactive fallout from the Japanese nuclear accident has
been detected almost everywhere throughout the Northern hemisphere.
In the article published by the Japan Times, Dr. Hida talked
about the consumtpion of food that has been contaminated with such materials.
At this point, it is virtually impossible to avoid every single atom of fall
out in our food.
These radioactive materials are known to increase
inflammation. Each one of these radioactive materials targets a unique area of
the Human body. Some of these materials target the heart.
A known method of sequestering these materials after
ingestion of food is eating activated charcoal capsules.
Charcoal capsules are commonly sold in drug stores over
the counter. Please check with your doctor about
dosage and side effects. Most notable
is constipation. People with shortened gut may be most strongly impacted by
these side effects. So be careful, please.
One material that has been sweeping over us in waves is
radioactive Iodine. I-131. This one is a gas. I-131 targets the thyroid gland.
The good part is that I-131 has a half-life of eight days. But there is more to
that, later.
A simple preventive measure to exposure to I-131 is the
addition of Iodine to your diet. That limits the amount of the I-131 that your
body absorbs. A symptom of thyroid damage is a lack of energy.
Again, check with your doctor about doses and possible
problems.
Everyone’s body is unique. There is no “one size fits all”
solution to dealing with, or preventing exposure to radiation. Please ask your
doctor about using Charcoal tablets or adding Iodine to your diet.
Say that you were considering conservative preventative
measures, simply being cautious. Ask things like "Would this likely pose a
problem for MY system?" I'm guessing that for most people it isn't.
The
solar event of a lifetime.
On July 18, 2012, yet another massive solar flare was
emitted. When
these flares go off they are first detected by their release of X-Rays and
other forms of radiation. Excess X-rays aggravate inflammation in the human
body. X-rays
are one of many forms of radiation emitted by solar flars that can increase
inflammation. As a result of these increased levels
of radiation caused by Solar flares, Patients’ levels of chronic pain are
increased.
A wave of various plasma materials accompany the X-rays emitted
by solar flares. These plasma materials are akin
to the energy that makes the northern lights shows. This wave of energy can
last for two or 3 days. I've noticed that many people seem to have migraines
the entire time the wave is washing over the earth.
These solar flares will be taking place over and over
again through the rest of the year and into 2013. This situation is here for a
long while. We need to deal with it. At this moment we are receiving that
slower wave of plasma materials from as many as eleven flares at the same time.
If you are a caregiver, you may be able to anticipate an
increase in needs from your patients during these events.
Preparations of cannabis have been greatly reducing these
impacts. Many topical applications should provide relief.
The
1,2 punch.
You can look at it as: The radiation from Japan weakens the
body's resistance to the solar radiation.
or
The solar radiation weakens the body's resistance to the radiation
from Japan.
Either way, there is impact on us from both at the same time. Here are a couple more articles provided by RadChick. Thanks!
