Re: Should we stay indoors now and watch the radiation map?
Joe, I can offer you my opinion, but it is only an opinion. I am no expert and not even close to one. However, I am doing a ton of research right now for some articles I have been requested to write. I am looking for all the natural alternatives for radiation exposure I can find. Doing so has me currently believing that it is OK for people living in the US to maintain a normal, healthy lifestyle right now.
What I understand to be true- for today- is that the US is still "safe" as far as radiation levels go. Yes, it does appear that radiation levels have increased all over the US. Yes, it does appear that it would be a great idea to be taking Superfood, echinacea, and using a good colon product like IF 1 and 2. My research is telling me that the herbs in those three products- Superfood, echinacea tincture, and IF1/2 are "enough" for Americans at the moment. Of course, you would want to make sure you are drinking pure water and scrubbing your produce well.
An interesting note from Dr. Schulze's blog is that during Chernobyl, abnormally high levels of radiation were found in dairy products. I don't know if Dr. Schulze means commercial dairy or local raw farm dairy. However, Dr. Schulze followers do not use any dairy, so the point may be moot.
It does seem like many people are choosing to stay indoors, somehow waiting for it all to go away. *sigh* People, the half life of radioactive materials is around the 20K year mark. While the radiation levels around the damaged Japanese nuclear power plant will dissipate and level out, that radioactive material will not go away. It will blanket the planet's atmosphere, water, land, plants, animals, and people. It has the potential of mutating the DNA of every living being on Earth and causing die-off of any number of species. The most vulnerable are our young and unborn.
When we read "what do do" articles on the internet, please try to discern where the source comes from. If anyone lives in Japan or near the coast of Japan, then definitely, start taking daily doses of SSKI along with other measures to keep safe. For now, at least, if you live in the US (or Europe), following good health practices, keeping a healthy bowel program (like Uny's) that contains bentonite clay and apple pectin, and adding echinacea tincture and superfoods which contain sea vegetables and simple plants like dulse, chlorella, and spirulina to the diet should suffice.
Go to the gym, Joe.
