UP doctor: Fruits, herbs can help vs radiation, Sun Star, April 6, 2011:

[Emphasis Added]

Dr. Romeo Quijano of the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at UP Manila told the Senate committee on health that eating uncontaminated fruits and vegetables high in anti-oxidants can help people who have been exposed to radiation. These include berries, guavas, guyabanos, and soy beans.

Quijano added “anti-radiation” herbs like turmeric, basil, rosemary, ginseng, and green tea can also help reduce the effects of radiation exposure.

Garlic and onions, which contain sulfur, and iodine-rich foods, especially seaweeds, can also help. …

“Fukushima is really a big problem,” Quijano said, adding that the effects may be worse than those suffered in the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear emergency. …

    Cesium can be taken up into those very fruits and vegetables. Anyone know the pathway and will that pathway prefer another mineral? I think I once read that potassium is preferentially taken up by some crops over cesium. Something Central Valley farmers should be looking into.

    How come you don’t put links back to the sites where you are getting these quotes? Your links just go in a circle to your own posts. I would like to follow to the articles where you are getting this stuff.

    I do not know if it helps. But my family is taking kelp, wheat grass, selenium and using iodine swabs everyday. I guess it beats just sitting around not doing anything.

    start stocking up on iodized salt, calcium supplements, and potassium iodide.

    Of course, once those run out, we’re screwed anyway assuming things are much worse than what appears to be. You’d only be buying a little more time.

    Better off just squaring things away and getting right with your god.

    Mike, Do you have a reading comprehension problem? This post clearly references a link to the online news article, as published. The quote is in the article.

    I’m glad to see that islanders are taking proactive steps. I’m NOT glad that anything but this topic is showing up on the news. We’re supposed to simply forget about a half dozen Nuclear Reactors on the fritz, with the Jet Stream blowing them to our coast????!!

    Sagt mal, seit ihr derart bescheuert, dass ihr an Kräuter gegen Radioaktivität glaubt? Ich denke, es gibt kaum etwas dümmeres als US-Amerikaner, die an Kräuter gegen Nuklearstrahlung glauben. Ihr glaubt wohl noch an Kräuter gegen Karies, was?

      Ron, Translation:
      Says times, since your so stupid that you believe in herbs against radioactivity? I think there is scarcely anything stupid as American, who believe in herbs against nuclear radiation. You probably still believes herbs against tooth decay, what?

        To: Ron,

        I don’t think that the purpose is to create a shield around your body from radiation using herbs, that isn’t gonna happen.

        The point of the supplements seems to be so your body has the tools it needs to help cleanse out any effects from the radiation and to help protect the thyroid.

        I am not a doctor or consultant and don’t claim to know if taking these will help at all.

        But like I said earlier it’s better than doing nothing.

    Actually, the homeopathic tribe is really freaking out about fallout – dilution ain’t the solution! Those ocean currents are coming our way with a Fuku payload next. Get your seaweed and clam chowder while you still can!

    I recently acquired some nuke busters (Wilhelm Reich’s discovery)These consist of a matrix of resin, metal shavings and most importantly quartz crystals. Crystals are used in technology due to their sending and receiving properties. This whole mix produces what is known as Orgone energy. DOR (deadly orgone radiation) is pulled into the mix and POR (positive orgone radiation) is emitted. I have placed a number of these “orgonites” around my house and surrounding area and have noticed a huge difference in my personal mood and the general atmosphere around me. Anyone can read about these and also easily make their own. See more info here: How to Make Orgone & Orgonite with Ease Well worth at least looking into!
