Radiation information & Holistic Ways to Boost Your Immune System

I received this email from a dear friend --- who got it from another dear friend. There was
nothing esoteric about the advice so I thought I’d pass this on. OK, I’ll buy some MISO soup
paste. – Lorna Dietz, RadiantView@gmail.com

Hi West coast friends,

We are living in some intense times- the earthquake and nuclear failings in Japan is just part
of it. This is not my usual full moon letter (it's not the full moon!), but a just little peep about
things you can do to help support your body (and spirits) right now. As you've probably heard,
there may be some radiation moving across the pacific in the next weeks heading towards the
west coast from Japan. To keep going, be alive, and not shut down, we need courage,
nourishment, and support- make a pot of soup! (and can I be a grandma for a minute and say
if you haven't made an emergency kit, please do?)

I will be posting more recipes and some herbal first aid/community healing basics on my blog
this week. If you have friends or family in Japan or Hawaii, you can pass this along to them to
your friends:

1. SEAWEED: eat nori, put wakame, kombu, and hijiki in your soups and stews. The iodine in
kelp helps draw out the radiation and protect your thyroid from radioactive uptake.

2. MISO: good medicine full of live cultures, amino acids, minerals, and protein. I'd
recommend making a big pot this week, having a bowl everyday and feeding it to all your
friends- recipe follows.

3. MUSHROOMS: strengthen your immune system with some shitake mushrooms, sauteed
or in soups.

4. Eat vegetables, especially DAIKON radishes and BURDOCK root- stick them in your soup
too or make a shredded salad (recipe below). Daikon has been used for drawing out
radiation, post nuclear fall out- it's cooling and detoxifying.

5. BATHS in epsom salt and baking soda (1 lb of salt, with a bit of baking soda 2x week)

6. DRINK lots of WATER

7. IMMUNE support: do the things you know boost your immune system- sleep well, eat garlic
and Vitamin C rich foods, and go easy on the sugar.

8. LOVE: send prayers, love, healing thoughts for those who need it most. Instead of freaking
out or shutting down, let your anger, fear, and grief flow- it's what makes us human and feel
connected to what's going on in the world right now. Crying is a potent way to detox, friends.

9. HERBS: if you want to get herbal, some great allies are nettle tea, cilantro (eat a lot of it or
take a tincture- it helps draw heavy metals out ), and milk thistle (helps your liver process
toxins). Also Yarrow Environmental Essence from FES is a beautiful formula to support the
body in environmental disasters.

RECIPES:

Magical Medicinal Miso Soup

Saute one onion, sliced thin, til translucent. Add water, seaweed of choice (I like Kombu and
Wakame), shitake mushrooms (dried or fresh), burdock root, carrots, and any other hearty
roots you like. Simmer for 25 minutes.

I like to add shredded or sliced ginger near the end, so it's strong, and some garlic, which I
like really strong. You can also add greens, like kale or spinach. Simmer another 5 minutes.

Because you don't want to boil your miso, I usually put a large dollop of miso paste in my
bowl and then pour the broth on top to dissolve it.

Drink and offer bowls to all your loved ones and neighbors, kiddos and pets, family and
friends.

Get your Daikon

Easy Shredded Salad

Shred carrot and daikon radish (2-3 roots)

Mix with sesame oil and a little umeboshi vinegar (also a great medicine!), sesame seeds,
whatever fresh herbs you've got on hand (I love mint or cilantro), and a little tamari. Eat and
feel alive and well thanks to the plants, the sun, the water and the farmers.

Take good care, my lovely friends!

With love,

Dori

ALSO

The CDC recommends using iodine to prevent injury from radioactive iodine
fallout. Adults 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.

When should you take iodine? For an acute exposure, you want to take iodine
just before the exposure hits. Iodine is cleared out of the body within 24 to
72 hours after taking it. However, if you have been using
ortho-iodosupplementation as I describe in my books and lectures (taking from
6-50mg/day of iodine and iodide), you should be covered. Remember, the goal is
to not let the radioactive iodine bind in the body.

Potassium iodide can be found in many health food stores. Combinations

of iodide/iodine can be obtained from holistic physicians. Iodoral, Iodozyme HP,
and Lugolâ•˙s solution are examples of this form of iodine. For long-term
treatment, combinations are much more effective. More information about this
can be found in my book, Iodine Why You Need It, Why You Canâ•˙t Live Without It,
4th Edition (available at
www.drbrownstein. <http://www.drbrownstein.com/> com <http://www.drbrownstein.com/> ).
>>>
I have had inquiries about the use of iodine to prevent problems secondary to
the nuclear fallout that will occur. As the Japanese nuclear reactors release
radiation into the air, the jet streams will push this radiation to the Western
U.S. and Canada. There are estimates that the radiation fallout will reach the
Western side of N. American in six to ten days. Furthermore, I have seen
estimates that it is expected that 750 RADS may contaminate these areas.

How much is 750 RADS? One chest x-ray is approximately 3/100 RADS. One CT scan
is 1 RAD.
