Radiation Exposure Detox Strategies

Even before Japan’s earthquake, tsunami and nuclear power plant meltdowns, our chronic exposure to daily low level doses of radiation has been a concern.
We’ve upped our stock of several of the best products that help prevent and reverse radiation toxicity. From the daily assault of electronic equipment and environmental pollution to potential emergencies – whether from the power plant crisis in Japan to accidental or deliberate domestic radiation exposure (i.e. a “Dirty Bomb”) , Green Dragon Superfoods offers several products assist the body to naturally detoxify from radiation exposure.

It is important to note that the biggest danger radiation poses to anyone not directly exposed to an unshielded nuclear reactor is that of the cumulative effect of long term, low level exposure.

See below to learn more about how to address radioactive contamination both before and after potential exposure. Several of these products have unlimited shelf life and are an essential additions to any well stocked emergency kit. Nascent iodine can be used as the ultimate wound disinfectant and can also be used to make drinking water safe.

Symptoms of Radiation Toxicity

Anxiety, hysteria, insatiable hunger, dizziness and vertigo, rheumatic pains, hearing problems, complete exhaustion, mood swings, hot and cold flashes, gastric distress, migraine headaches, memory loss, flu-like symptoms, nausea, suppressed immune system, low red and white blood cell counts, infertility and more.

Sources of Radiation

Radiation prevention goes far beyond Japan’s current meltdown crises. We face this assault in our everyday lives from the following sources:

Computers, microwaves, cell phones, most electronics, industrial pollution, nuclear plants, the potential use of a “dirty bomb”, x-rays, chemotherapy, irradiated foods, nuclear warfare; military grade weapons (depleted uranium shells, etc…). This silent killer is present everywhere and we are exposed daily to it in our technical world and in our atmosphere. 

Modifilan (MF)

MF was developed originally as a leading remedy for the rehabilitation of Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe victims.

MF is a seaweed juice concentrate in powder form that contains the most bio-available form of iodine. It’s made from the richest variety of wild-grown brown seaweed called Laminaria japonica.

It is hand-gathered by divers, and is dried using a vacuum dehydration, low- temperature process which takes away the heavy outer fibers from the leaves and essentially ‘pre-digests’ the Laminaria. MF contains all soluble fiber (no cellulose), making it very abundant and bio-available. It takes 40 pounds of raw brown seaweed to make 1 pound of MF. MF contains iodine in its natural mineral state. It is easily absorbed and very powerful. MF feeds the thyroid gland. (The chemical form of iodine, Potassium Iodide does not feed the thyroid). Modifilan’s benefits to the immune system

• Promotes the destruction of harmful cells
• Helps to decrease high blood sugar and cholesterol levels
• Detoxifies the body from heavy metals, radioactive elements, free radicals and toxins
• Helps those who are overweight by improving the function of the gastro-intestinal tract
• Improves the structure of hair and nails and help them to grow
• Help to detoxify smokers from strontium and cadmium

Nascent Iodine

Nascent iodine is more expensive than potassium iodide, but it is more palatable and high dosages of it can be given to even children. Experts recommend that iodine should be used to saturate the thyroid as this would make it strong enough to reject radioactive elements from entering the body. Before deciding on the dosage, it’s still recommended to consult a doctor.

Nascent Iodine is a consumable iodine supplement, in its atomic form rather than its molecular form. It is an iodine atom with an incomplete number of electrons, making it paramagnetic. What does that mean? Well, it means that the iodine atoms can hold an electromagnetic charge. While this might sound like a flashback to chemistry class, the most important thing to understand is that Nascent Iodine has a huge energy release when consumed. This “charged” state is held by the atom until diluted in water and consumed, whereby it gradually loses energy over a 2-3 hour time span. During this time, Nascent Iodine is recognized by the body as the same iodine that is produced by the thyroid and is absorbed effortlessly by the body.

Ingredients
Nascent Iodine in a base of organic grain alcohol. (2% Iodine by weight / 400mcg of nascent iodine per drop)

Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil
Magnesium: Spark of Life – All detoxification processes require magnesium

Magnesium is a crucial macro nutrient for human health. It is essential to more than 300 cellular processes, some of which include muscle & nerve function, heart rhythm, and peristalsis (muscular contractions of the digestive system). To be deficient in magnesium guarantees a sub-optimal level of health. Severe lack of magnesium can seriously impair all bodily functions.

Magnesium is a major component of your muscles and bones, with approximately 50% of total body magnesium stored in the bones. Magnesium is required for your body to properly absorb and regulate calcium, and thus maintain strong bones & ligaments.

The human body runs on electricity. Magnesium powers the movement of electrically charged ions through the blood and across nerve cell membranes. This movement of electricity allows your muscles to move, your heart to beat, your breath to come in and out.

Healthy levels of magnesium maintain cellular communication in the body. A deficiency of magnesium causes a disturbance to the flow of this electricity through the nervous system, producing a great deal of pain and illness.

Are You Getting Enough Magnesium?

There are several ways to assimilate magnesium with varied levels of success. In order for magnesium to make a positive impact on your health, it must be properly absorbed, delivered where it is required in the body and hold long enough to be utilized fully.

Eating food that is high in magnesium, supplementing with orally consumed magnesium pills, and injecting it are the most common methods, though there are a number of problems associated with each of these methods, such as slow results, high costs, and discomfort. The very best method to obtain high levels of magnesium is by absorbing it transdermally (through the skin).
