To all doctors: Any remedy to block absorption of iodine 131 into the system

Hello,

I am very sad and concerned for the people of Japan.

I wish for the best for all affected by the earthquake.

I live in Seattle Washington and the news has been forecasting that the West coast of the United States is in the path of radioactive fallout from Japan.

The news indicates that there are plans to distribute iodine blocking pills in the event the fallout reaches the West coast.
Here is a quote from the Washington Post -

'While US nuclear experts acknowledged the seriousness of Japan’s reactor crisis, some stressed that taking steps in the United States such as distributing iodine tablets — which prevent iodine 131 from being absorbed into the body might be premature'

I do not want these medications as, I do not trust them. I also believe in being proactive.

Is there any remedy or remedies that block absorption of iodine 131 into the system or a remedy that can heal if the absorption happens?

Thank you for all your help.


Regards,
Robert

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Indeed Robert what happened in Japan was a tragedy in an epic scale. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost lives and properties and also those who are braving out there.


There's a natural potassium Iodide supplement available to block the absorption of Iodine 131. Adult men and women who are breastfeeding should take 130mg of potassium iodide. Children who are between 3 and 18 years of age should take 65mg of potassium iodide. Children who are adult size should take the adult dose. Infants and children between 1 month and 3 years of age should take 32mg of potassium iodide. Newborns from birth to one month of age should be given 16mg of potassium iodide. Consumption of this supplement must be started within 1 to 4 hours of exposure.

The next alternative is to get 2% Iodine solution from Iodine Tincture and apply large swabs on stomach and forearms(8ml must be applied). Strictly External application only. This must be done 2 hours before exposure.

The above 2 measures are meant to be done daily till safe levels are reached.

Epsom salt bath, baking soda bath, clay bath, clorox water bath are also helpful in detoxing radio active toxins.


Dietary measures: Avoid sugar and sweets strictly. Include in plenty: Algae foods(spirulina, chlorella, seaweeds, sea kelp), Miso soup, Beans and lentils, cod liver oil, olive oil, brown rice, sea salt, Brassica vegetables and high beta carotene vegetables.

one seaweed product that should be taken in case of an emergency is *Modifilan*.

Homeopathics:

Tissue salts bio plasma or 12 salts to replenish the basic tissue salts in the body. Radiation can deplete these salts.

X-ray, Sol, strontium-carbonicum and flouric-acid [for ulcers from radiation].

For radiation poisoning:

alfalfa, arsenicum, cadmium, cadmium-iodatum, calc-fluor, calendula, china, cobaltum, hydrastis, ipecac, nux-v, phosphorus, radium-bromide, silica, and uran-nitricum, plutonium nitricum, causticum, belladonna. Since radiation poisoning is more than just iodine 131, remedy that covers specific symptoms will have to be taken. A general specific is to use Uranium nitricum for the exposure to depleted Uranium.


The spiderwort plant is so sensitive to changes in radiation levels (its petals
change color upon exposure) that it's often used as a natural radiation detector
(dosimeter), just as they use canaries in mines as detectors of poisonous gas. Whenever the spiderwort plant is exposed to even low levels of radiation, its normally blue petals start to turn pink and the greater the radiation exposure, the greater the change. So it'd be useful to keep it as a warning system.


Possible Radio active toxins and related natural preventive supplements:

Natural *Iodine*, helps prevent the uptake of iodine-131

*Iron * inhibits the absorption of plutonium-238 and plutonium-239

*Calcium *and *Potassium *because they aid in the excretion of radioactive particles, particularly cesium-137


*Vitamin B-12 *inhibits cobalt-60 uptake (used in nuclear medicine)

*Vitamin D* during radiation exposure can help prevent radioactive strontium from being stored in bones.


*Sulfur *is preventative for sulfur-35 (a product of reactors)incorporation by the body

*Zinc *inhibits zinc-65 uptake.

*Selenium* (found in yeast), in particular, has been shown to protect human DNA from radiation damage and helps prevent skin damage.

Good sources of selenium include green and black teas, and garlic as well as many mushrooms while the best sources however are nettles (2200 mcg per 100 grams), kelp (1700 mcg/100 g), burdock (1400 mcg/100 g),
catnip (Nepeta cataria), ginseng, Siberian ginseng, and astragalus.

Consume More Lycopene and Foods Rich in Beta Carotene

Anti oxidant supplementation:

1. Beta carotene – 25,000 IU/day.

2. Vitamin C – 1,000mg 2 x day. (If diarrhea, decrease dose to 500 2xday)

3. Vitamin E -1,000 IU /day.

4. B-complex – such as is in a multiple. Aim for about 10mg 2 x day with food. (Brewer’s yeast ½ oz 2xday) B-vitamins are not anti-oxidants, but they help the other nutrients do their jobs.

5. Selenium – 400mcg per day.

6. Glutathione -1,000mg 2 x day preferably away from meals ie ½ hr before or 1 ½ hr after meals. (It’s ok, but less effective with meals.)

7. Cysteine- 500mg 2 x day.

8. Ginseng (either the Siberian or American type)-one capsule (1/4tsp)
2 x day. Higher doses may be too stimulating for some people.

9. Berries of dark color like (Red Grapes) are also good antioxidants.

(*Doses for adults with 120 pounds. Adjust doses for others taking the person's weight against 120 pounds)


When a person is exposed to radiation, it can affect body's ability to produce red blood cells. A well known holistic remedy for quickly rebuilding the blood and fighting anemia, which Europeans also use, is the consumption of either raw or fermented *beet juice *which helps build blood hemoglobin.

Beet root is also consumed as a natural remedy for nerve cell inflammation.


For radiation burns, aloe vera gel (which you squeeze out of the cut plant onto the skin) is a definite recommendation though it doesn't work for all types of radiation injuries and should be used within 5 days of
the appearance of burns.

The immediate risk is for those who live within 90km radius of a nuclear accident. These people must take some of the measures to help themselves!!

***If somebody is allergic to some substance they must talk to their doctors before taking such substances. People with auto immune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto's must talk to their physicians before taking Iodine supplements.***

-Hi Maheeru,


ABC Homeopathy sells Biophosphates, 12 salts.

Are these the 12 salts you were referring to? There is no available info on the materia medica.

Thank you for your time.

Regards,
Robert

Robert, Yes 12 salts is fine. Many other online pharmacies carry in the name of bio plasma salts.

These are tissue salts slightly different from homeopathic remedies. You will find information about them in Materia Medica of Tissue salts.

Hi Maheeru,

Can you advise a course of treatment for dogs in the event of exposure.

Regards,
Robert
 
jorbri1513 last decade
For Dogs: potassium Iodide dosage 1.4 mg/kg once a day. This is the same as 100mg for a 70kg dog.

For Cats: 20 mg/kg.

Kelp powder(good iodine source) may also be given in place of potassium iodide for pet animals.

Spirulina powders shall also be given for detox.

This is considering Iodine 131 only. For other radioactive toxins refer the first post.
