Are you ready for surviving a crisis that might result in disruption of our food supply (like what happened in Japan) ? Do you have foods to help you reduce side effects of radiation, and/or get rid of radioactive substances?

To be ready for the next crisis, you will need a secure food supply. To have a secure food supply, you will need to go back to basics. Non-perishables, such as grains, legumes, seaweed and salt can be kept in a large quantities for more than a year. You can sprout grains, beans, lentils, seeds, and the grasses from wheat, rye, barley, or oats will give us nourishing greens.

Natural Detox Foods to Survive Radioactivity and Radioactive Fallout.

In crisis, when both food and drinking water may be tainted with various stages of radioactive toxicity, whole foods such as grains, beans, lentils, nuts and seeds will help us strengthen our immunity.

As for radiation, we can be exposed to it not only from nuclear (strontium 90, Caesium-134 and Caesium-137, iodine-131, etc.) but also environmentally from cell phones, x-rays, microwaves, high-voltage power lines, MRI, radiation therapy (breast or any cancer treatment or different diagnosis).

Did you know that common foods are susceptible to absorption of radiation, directly or indirectly. Common fruits and vegetables can absorb radioactive by-products from the air directly, or through the soil and water that they need for nourishment? As for milk, it can have strontium 90 (sr-90), an element that has a half-life of 29 years.

Some cleansing/detoxing foods you can incorporate to detox your body and minimize the harmful effects of radiation are:

• Chlorophyll rich foods – spirulina, chlorella, wild blue-green algae;
• Buckwheat (high in rutin, bioflavanoid, to protect against radiation;
• Organic apples and sunflower seeds (pectin binds with with radioactive particles)
• Bee pollen (to protect from radiation)
• Miso (to prevent radiation damage)
• Seaweed (to detox and remove residues of radiation in the body)
• Dried beans, especially lentils ( to reverse DNA damage caused by radiation)
• Burdock root (to remove radioactive isotopes from the body)
• Beta-carotene rich foods -orange and dark green vegetables and fruits (to protect from radiation–induced cancers);
• Broccoli and cabbage (to protect cells from radiation damage)
• Selenium rich foods, such as nettles, garlic, milk thistle seeds, green or black tea, shellfish (to protect DNA from radiation damage);
• Essential fatty acids in avocado, flax seeds, walnuts, chia seeds, cold-pressed olive oil (to renew cells).

P.S. Please share this article with people who have relatives in Japan or have friends or family members with breast cancer or any cancer and need radiation treatment.

I would like to share with you some studies about bra and breast cancer from the article ” Bras Shown to Cause Cancer” by Sheryl Walters, citizen journalist published in naturalnews.com

Studies show that this is a very real possibility. The reason is that regularly wearing a bra prevents lymph drainage and circulation, which can greatly increase the possibility of developing breast cancer.

The lymphatic and circulatory systems are responsible for both delivering vital nutrients and clearing out toxins. When the body does not have access to nutrients or when it is under the attack of toxins, cancer may develop.

Regular bra wearing decreases the production of melatonin, which is a potent natural antioxidant and the hormone that regulates sleep, boosts the immune system and, incredibly fights aging. Balanced melatonin levels are essential for the body to fight many types of cancer, including breast cancer.

A study published in the European Journal of Cancer studied factors for breast cancer such as breast size and handedness. They discovered that premenopausal women who do not wear bras are less than half as likely to get breast cancer that those who regularly wear a bra. A study conducted by researcher David Moth revealed that even the lightest bras place pressure on the lymphatic system.

Researchers Singer and Grismaijer observed 4,500 women and their bra wearing practices. An amazing 3 out of 4 women who wore their bras 24 hours per day developed breast cancer. Women who wore their bras more than 12 hours per day had a 1 in 7 chance of getting breast cancer. 1 out 152 women who wore their bra less than 12 hours a day got breast cancer and an incredibly low 1 out of 168 women who rarely or never wear a bra developed breast cancer. Read the rest of the article.

Well, as you can see, in this US centric society, it makes sense to European articles sometimes.  I lost my sister to cancer three years ago, but long – long before that I used to remind her to take her bra off when she was at home and buy them without an underwire if possible.
