Top Strategies To Avoid & Protect Yourself From Radiation
As the realization of the environmental damage at Fukushima sets in, many are continuing to look for ways they can protect themselves from potential radiation exposure. Although I am far from an expert in this area, I have followed the disaster since March 11, 2011 intimately as well as the material put forth by trustworthy sources. I was recently asked in an interview about ways to protect oneself from damage due to radiation contact. I felt I should do my best to expand on some solutions for those in search of them.
When it comes to radiation protection, the matter can be narrowed down to three different approaches. The entire topic of radiation exposure is mind boggling once you get into the game of what could potentially happen. For this, I refer you to Helen Caldicott. Her thorough presentation about the potential impact of the Fukushima disaster leaves nothing to the imagination. However, there are some realities that need to be contemplated, and as you become informed, do not approach the information with fear. What I write about is “known” knowledge that others have already presented. What I expect you to come away with is info that you can then tailor to your own personal evolution.

Avoidance
It is always easier to strip away what is not useful. Therefore, it is in the avoidance that focus should be placed. Through water testing and various computer models, we have to assume that the food chain of the Pacific Ocean is compromised. It is also known that radiation bioaccumlates up the food chain. This means that the larger the fish, the greater the concentration of potential radiation. Tuna, swordfish, shark, etc. will have the most potential to contain contamination. Sidestepping those options until more in-depth testing is standard and/or available would be a wise decision. This also applies to milk from cows as already evidenced in the previous Chernobyl disaster.
Given that the damaged Japanese (General Electric) nuclear reactors are still leaking radioactive waste into the ocean, it would also be advisable to read the labels of seafood, seaweed, algae, and other products that come from the ocean to see if they originate in Japan. The United States has relaxed the testing of incoming products, so trusting a company’s word becomes an issue here. Exercising a little caution will go a long way towards prevention of allowing contaminated products into your body.
Supplements
There are many people who claim that certain supplements help to protect, detoxify, or stop radiation from affecting the body. Although most of these claims may be true, here I will be discussing only the ones that I know are backed by medical research and trusted doctors.
Arguably, the most important compound showing radioprotective properties is curcumin, a major component of turmeric. It has been extensively studied and is consistent in showing anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-carcinogenic, and antioxidant properties. It’s been shown to protect cells of every type against radiation. Stick with dilutions in extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, or glycerin for maximum absorption.
