Nuclear Fall out and the benefits of Potassium Iodine

It is reported that two nuclear reactors have exploded in Japan over the last three days.  What does this mean for the West Coast and the fact that it is in the direct path of the jet stream which flows from Japan.  Though it is uncertain as to how much this will directly affect the West Coast there is enough concern to at least be prepared for whatever may come.

On March 12^th , Dr. David Brownstein writes about why potassium iodide is helpful to prevent radiation sickness,


Here are four things to do if you haven’t already:

1. Monitor the situation via several news sources as well as the National Radiation Map, a real-time update of radiation levels in America.
2. Get some potassium iodide, or perhaps even better Lugol’s iodine, which you may need to get at a pharmacy, or online like at Amazon (see below).
3. Store some non-perishable food, water and medicine.
4. Get the word out to your friends. Not in an alarmist way, but post this or other information about preparing and protecting yourself on Facebook or via email.

Why the precautions?
Radiation causes cancer and it can easily move with the wind currants.  Though the radiation will be diluted by the time it reaches any other destination outside of Japan it is projected to be to the West Coast by Sunday and it will still be radiation.

The Japanese government has begun distributing potassium iodide pills to its citizens. Why?  Potassium Iodide provides radiation protection in a nuclear disaster. When a cloud of radioactive iodine passes through a populated area, the thyroid glands of people exposed to the radiation can cause irreparable damage to the thyroid, which can lead to cancer.

There’s a really good preventive measure:
 (this is a preventative solution that is not completely guaranteed but can help)

•  Buy some potassium iodide
•  Buy some iodine (kelp)

Kidney and Liver Cleanse

To help my body function better I went ahead and did the Kidney and liver cleanse right after the gallbladder cleanse.  

Toxic build-up in the kidneys and liver can have negative effects not only on the digestive system but on all aspects of the body’s functioning. It can cause any number of ailments from chronic fatigue, to insomnia, to high blood pressure, to acne. When you do a kidney/liver cleanse, you may still have unrelated health issues, but at least you can feel secure in the knowledge that you’ve done everything you can to make sure that your system is clean and uncontaminated by toxins and other unnatural materials.

The hardest part of the cleanse is the Marshmallow root tea.  Here is a quick recipe to help it go a little easier for you.

What you need:
1 teaspoon of Marshmallow root
1 cup of water

(or if you'd like to premake the tea use the above formula to figure out how much Marshmallow root you need to each cup you need to boil)

Directions:
Bring water to a boil in a sauce pan or tea pot
Add in your Marshmallow root and stir
Turn the heat off
Pour the mix into a blender or shaker
Blend or shake until smooth
Pour into a cup and drink - add a pinch of stevia for sweetness

If you have made more for later store in a container in the refrigerator, when you are ready for a cup pour one cup and let it sit out for one hour until it is room temperature then drink.  Do this as many times as you can stand.   


Kidney and Liver Cleanse

• Milk Thistle (follow the bottle - liquid)
• Marshmallow root tea ( 1 tsp to 1 tblspn in a cup of hot water - heat the water add the marshmallow - blend in a blender and drink - tastes like lima bean :) )
• Dandelion root (tablespoon in the am/pm)
• Total Kidney Cleanse - by Solaray (follow the bottle)
• Probiotic (Natren or Garden of Life - 1 time a day)
• Chlorophyll (2 x's daily - liquid is best)
• Nutrition - stick with yeast cleanse diet

Gallbladder Flush

This year I had a gallbladder attack.  Keep in mind I do not eat fatty foods, I am mostly on a raw vegetable, fruits and fish diet.   So how did I have a gallbladder attack?  Stress!!  This was the doctors explanation that I had given myself a stress stone.   Call it a blessing or a curse the stress stone landed me in bed for a month while I did a gallbladder cleanse and recovered from the pain of apparently passing the stone.  My insides felt bruised, my energy was gone and the right side of my body ached.   It literally took me the whole month to recover and I gave the time to myself to heal.    

I do not recommend that anyone should do this cleanse if they find themselves in the middle of a gallbladder attack but for me it was my only option and luckily for me it worked. You do not have to wait until your body is in distress to do this cleanse and I recommend doing it when you can take the time to do it.

Gallbladder cleanse

• Lemon and Olive oil before bed -  Drink it right before bed and lay on your side
• Gallstonex - by Solaray (follow the bottle)
• Probiotics (1 daily - Natren or Garden of Life)
• Chlorophyll (2x's daily - liquid)
• Nutrition stick with Yeast cleanse diet

Lemon Olive Oil Liver-Gallbladder Flush #1

Before Bedtime:It is good to have an early, light dinner before this easy cleanse.
1/2 Red Grapefruit
1/4 small lemon
Small clove grated garlic 1 - 2 Tablespoons
Cold-pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Cut the half grapefruit in 4 slices and cut the rind off.
Slice lemon and do the same.
Throw the chunks of citrus in the blender.
Add grated garlic (optional) and olive oil.
Blend at low speed and drink.

The lemon and grapefruit pulp contains bioflavinoids (Vitamin C complex), but if you prefer to strain pulp out, do so.  Wait 1 hour before eating. That night lay on your right side.

Lemon Olive Oil Liver-Gallbladder Flush #2

Follow the recipe above for a short (2 - 3 day) fast. The grapefruit lemon olive oil drink is taken morning and evening and in between, herb teas, vegetable broth and raw vegetable juice. The day before and day after such a cleanse, eat lightly - mostly raw veggies, a little protein, and raw fruits.

WARNING: 

DO NOT DO IT WITHOUT SUPERVISION FROM A DOCTOR. CERTAIN PEOPLE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO FLUSHING – PREGNANT, YOUNG CHILDREN, ELDERLY, DIABETICS, ACUTELY INFLAMED GALLBLADDER, AND SEVERE LIVER DISEASE.

If your gallstone is causing upper abdominal pain,  nausea, bouts of vomiting, pain in the right shoulder, or if there is a chance of infection or cancer of the gallbladder, consult a surgeon right away. Surgical procedure may be the best choice of treatment.

If you have gallstones and feeling nothing, you may proceed with gallstone flushing. I strongly recommend to have upper abdomen ultrasound first, to check the size of your gallstones. If it is bigger than the diameter of the common bile duct, DO NOT DO THE FLUSHING RIGHT AWAY.
