Other remedies useful for radiation sickness:

Radium bromatum. Uranium nitricum. Plutonium nitricum and X-ray. Use low potencies, dilute in water and give daily repetition during exposure. Of course those remedies must be prescribed on individuality.

Also - iodine supplements will prevent radiation from binding to your cells because the iodine will bind first - begin 2 days ahead of exposure if possible & vitamin C & someone recommended clay. Potassium iodide in material doses as a supplement should also be adequate to protect the thyroid. Further, Selenium is a supplement useful in thyroid protection.


Iodine

Potassium Iodate as a supplement is wonderful in case of long life radiation potentials. For the short term issues, DU requires sodium bicarbonate. Other radioactive forms that are rapidly harsh do require potassium iodide. What form to use? Potassium iodide or iodate? The latter is used by the US army in combat conditions - mainly to deal with exposure to US made depleted uranium. Many suppliers are already out of stock of iodine supplements. Check out suppliers on the internet.

Thyroid Reactions

Anyone with Hyper/Hypothyroidism due to radiation needs to redouble their efforts to rapidly cleanse the system. The thyroid gland is key to overall health. Produces T3 & T4 hormones (Iodine atoms). Iodine helps regulate metabolism in the body. Thyroid synthesizes vital T3 (rare) from T4 (plentiful). The body needs 150 mg per day – 80% comes from T4 conversion to T3 in the Liver. The pituitary gland also plays a role in thyroid function by moderating the production of both T3 and T4 (Iodine atoms).

The hypothalamous in turn regulates pituitary function. The thyroid is weakened & neutralized by processed food & white sugars, All sorts of problems can occur. Diabetes 2 is common amongst the youngest & most vulnerable. T3 & T4 regulate body temperature & metabolic rate of every cell in the body (it regulates biochemical reactivity). There are some other factors one needs to consider also, in cases of radiation sickness, which will exacerbate the symptoms and make the condition worse.

Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism): An underactive thyroid releases too little T4 and T3 into the bloodstream, causing the metabolism to slow down too much. The most common cause is Hashimoto’s disease. This is an autoimmune condition in which white blood cells and antibodies attack the thyroid gland. If not treated, the metabolism will continue to slow and will ultimately (in 10 to 15 years) lead to death. 90% of Hypothyroidism occurs in women. On average 1/3 of women over 55 have low thyroid. Symptoms of an underactive thyroid include:

* Lethargy and fatigue
* Feeling cold (even on warm days)
* Unusual weight gain
* Depression
* Reduced concentration (brain fag)
* Puffiness of the face
* Hair loss
* Dry skin
* Constipation
* Goitre

1) Chemicals in environment (PCB, DDT, Herbicides, Insecticides, Fungicides, Lubricants, adhesives)

2) Chlorine & Fluorine in tap water (Iodine mimics) – leads to hypothyroid.

3) Polyunsaturated Food Oil (eg. Corn, Soy – Oxidized oils) – which impair T4 to T3 conversion.

4) Sugar & refined Grains – Carbs convert to Glycogen & Triglycerides, suppress hormone levels.

5) Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil – Trans-fats inhibit conversion of T4 to T3, and decrease metabolism, leading to low body temperature, which in turn makes the immune response slower.

6) Mercury (eg. fish, amalgam fillings) – displaces selenium which is vital for T4 production, T4 to T3

7) Non Organic Green & Black Tea – contains high levels of fluoride.

Nutrients & Supplements Available

a) Iodine (Himalayan Salt – contains Iodine in proportional trace amounts with other 70 + trace minerals, raw kelp, seaweed – which one can combine with meals several times per week). make sure the source of this seaweed is clean. Seaweed tablets (from the sea, not from a lake) have natural iodine too.

b) Essential fatty acids (some fish oil, cod liver oil, flax seed/oil, Coconut, Borage/Black currant oil).

c) Selenium – This is an anti-oxodant, which helps convert T4 to T3.

d) Zinc – Stimulates the pituitary which signals the thyroid to make more thyroid hormones.

e) Vitamin D3 -Steroid hormone necessary for thyroid production.

f) Vitamin E – Tocopherol

g) L-tyrosine – Amino acid precursor to T4 & Co Q-10 (heart muscle supplier) – Spectrum of amino acids, which act synergistic.

h) Antioxidants (Selenium, Alpha lipoic acid & grape seed extract)

i) Progesterone – which helps the thyroid gland.

Several of the best ways to chelate accumulated heavy metals out of body:

1) Activated charcoal, 2) Chlorella, 3) Zeolite rock powder, 4) Kale, 5) Cilantro.

Symptoms of hyperthyroid from radiation. (But not limited to this cause)

Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) An overactive thyroid releases too much T4 and T3 into the bloodstream, causing the metabolism to speed up too much. The most common cause is Graves’ disease. This is an autoimmune condition in which ant...ibodies behave like TSH and stimulate the thyroid uncontrollably. Complications of untreated hyperthyroidism include liver damage, cancer and heart failure, which can lead to death. Symptoms of an overactive thyroid include:

* Rapid pulse
* Tremor (shaking) of the hands
* Sweating and sensitivity to heat
* Weight loss (despite an increased appetite)
* Nervousness, agitation and anxiety
* Fatigue
* Diarrhea
* Bulging eyes
* Goitre
