  SHOULD YOU TAKE IODINE DUE TO THE RECENT EARTHQUAKE AND NUCLEAR DISASTER?

  The answer is yes. Here are the details, however:

  
  

  1. You should take kelp, not potassium iodide. Kelp is far more physiological, safer, more nutritious, and contains many more essential minerals than potassium iodide.

  
  

  2. Realize that iodine is not the only need after a nuclear meltdown or radiation release. The reason iodine is given is because one element released in many nuclear accidents is radioactive iodine. This is taken up by plants, animals and human beings. It tends to cause thyroid cancers, hypothyroidism, birth defects and many other problems. If one has enough iodine in the body, the body will take up less of the radioactive iodine, and therefore the effects will be lessened.

  However, a nuclear accident releases many other radioactive and even more harmful minerals as well. These include cesium 137, plutonium, uranium, radium, and at least a dozen others. Some have short half lives and become less toxic in a few days to a few weeks, so they are less of a problem. Others, such as uranium-235 and -238 last for years in your body. Kelp provides many more of the physiological minerals than potassium iodide, so it protects better in this way.

  
  

  3. Take about 1500-3000 mg of kelp daily. If you get a slight reaction to it, start with less and work up slowly to these levels.

  
  

  4. Nutritional balancing science is the best antidote for radiation poisoning that I know of. All of us have been exposed to radiation, more than was released in all of World War II. 

  A nutritional balancing program will slowly remove many radioactive minerals from the body. The mechanisms include:

  a) Kelp, as mentioned above, antagonizes and helps prevent and remove some radioactive minerals from the body.

  b) Making the body more yang and improving its vitality helps protect against radiation damage.

  c) Mental development that occurs with a nutritional balancing program also is extremely helpful to avoid radiation damage and reverse its effects.

  d) Sauna therapy, a type of heat therapy, may help kill off weakened cells that have been weakened or mutated as a result of radiation damage. Otherwise, these cells multiply, and eventually cause caners and other diseases.

  
  

  5. Also, please read the article on this website entitled Nuclear Power And The Alternatives. For those who still admire nuclear power, this article will open your eyes to about a dozen reasons why nuclear is a stupid way to generate power on planet earth. Clean coal, oil, natural gas, and geothermal power plants are far better.

  Less advantageous but still better than nuclear power are hydroelectric, wind, solar and other newer alternatives. Sadly, many conservatives and liberals have bought into the idea that somehow nuclear power today is safe, which is simply not true and will never be true.

  Be careful with iodine, if you have any thyroid issues already you can actually make it worse by supplementing this way.
