Natural Radiation Detox Program

Natural Radiation Detox Program

With the recent nuclear fallout in Japan, I have put together the following detox program for people concerned about radiation levels. Follow some or all of these suggestions depending on severity.

At the very least I recommend to keep some Powdered Kelp & Spirulina in the house – these are inexpensive and powerful emergency solutions. Many Asians that consume sea vegetables have shown little or no negative physical effects from radiation fallout.

Radiation damage can occur from radiation sources such as x-ray imaging, nuclear power, or fallout from atomic weapons. When exposed to excess radiation it breaks strands of DNA in the body's cells causing cell death.

Symptoms of Radiation Damage

Radiation sickness can occur within 24 hours of exposure or if chronic symptoms can be over an extended time.

Radiation syndrome symptoms include malaise, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, fever, headache. Bleeding and complications can affect the digestive system, nervous system, heart, and lungs.

Further complications:

  • Central nervous system diseases
  • Kidney, liver, or gastrointestinal problems
  • Poor growth in children
  • Skin conditions
  • Inflammation around the heart
  • Lung conditions or even respiratory failure
  • Vision issues including cataracts or even impairment
  • Reproductive organ damage

If the person exposed is very young or on heavy chemotherapy for cancer or on antibiotics or with a weaker than normal immune system, they could be at an even greater risk.

Best Foods

  • Greens –  all kinds of green lettuces
  • Miso –   a fermented soybean paste (eaten raw for best results)
  • Mineral rich foods – Potassium, calcium and mineral rich greens, seaweeds, and olives
  • High iodine foods – Greens: swiss chard, turnip greens, wild garlic, onion, watercress, squash, mustard, spinach, asparagus, kale, citrus fruits, watermelon, and pineapple. Seaweeds / Sea Vegetables: kelp, arame, wakame, kombu, and hijiki* 

*Please note: For packaged seaweeds it is highly advised to call companies to ensure they provide a  3rd  party lab report confirming iodine is present.

Foods To Eat In Moderation :Cruciferous/Brassica Vegetables

Best to use 2-3x a week in a moderate amount, as daily use in larger amounts could prevent iodine absorption.

Arugula, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collard greens, box choy, chinese cabbage, daikon radish, horseradish, kohlrabi, maca, radish, rapini, rutabaga, turnip, wasabi, watercress.

Foods To Avoid

  • Avoid any alcohol, refined sugars, sweets … or anything that weakens/lowers immunity
  • Avoid GMO foods: wheat, potatoes, corn…
  • Avoid excess and any cooked fats. Ie: no heated oils and if you do eat animal foods only very low fat and lean to be extra safe
  • Consume only ‘raw’ fats in moderate amounts
  • Some raw fats will actually help bind and remove toxins

Please Note: It is best to avoid Asian sea vegetables/seaweeds until testing proves they are safe to eat. Try to find North American products.
