The number of cases involving childhood diseases such as autism, ADHD and certain types of cancers have been rising steadily, and these conditions have all been linked to high levels of toxicity. The prevailing wisdom on these neurological diseases is that an underlying genetic predisposition may be present coupled with an early and unrelenting shock to the developing nervous system, which then triggers a dramatic change in the child's brain. A series of exposures during a time when the child is not yet equipped to handle toxins can influence both his/her present and future health.

Heavy metals and their effect on children

Toxic heavy metals, as well as other dangerous substances, can begin to accumulate in the body as early as in utero, as these metals do, in fact, cross over from the mother via the placenta. These heavy metals act as a potent neurotoxin and can be highly damaging to the developing brain and nervous system. Exposure can influence a child's ability to concentrate. They can affect their language skills, socialization skills, hand to eye coordination, and even their vision. Ideally, a thorough detoxification program should be embarked upon for both prospective parents before trying to conceive. This will help to limit exposure.

Toxins have the ability to alter the brain chemistry of a child

Studies performed on children with ADHD showed that certain parts of the brains are abnormally smaller, while other parts appear to be larger than normal. It is also true that children with ADHD experience a lower blood flow to the brain. At the very heart of these symptoms is an inability of the brain to produce sufficient amounts of neurotransmitters/hormones, better known as catecholamines. These are vital energizing substances created from dopamine, and low levels of catecholamines result in hyperactivity disorder. Such is the power of toxins, capable of changing the very structure of the brain. If you suspect, or know, your child has a neurological issue, you should have him/her tested for heavy metals.

Finding a workable solution

Childhood toxicity requires a more judicious approach: one which embraces a reasonable amount of protection and is based on an integration of an organic lifestyle with a workable detoxification initiative. It also requires that people not rely solely upon governmental agencies in the business of protecting profits for safety information, but instead use their own informed judgment as a guide for limiting exposure to toxic chemicals.

According to reports, Cruz had been living in excruciating pain for several years following her surgery, but her doctors largely ignored her pain concerns and dismissed them as inconsequential. It was not until Cruz finally collapsed and was taken in for X-rays that doctors finally realized the complaints were legitimate.

"There was damage to her intestine and her other ovary, which had to be removed," said a spokesman for the Sao Paolo medical council, concerning the internal damage caused by the scissors. "We are investigating."

From start to finish, Cruz's experience was literally nothing more than one giant bungling disaster performed in the name of modern medicine. Everything from the surgery error itself to the doctors' dismissal of Cruz's pain concerns illustrates the pompous arrogance of many modern medical doctors, who often act as though they are infallible. Ironically, in this case, the entire scenario was one massive medical fallacy that ended up destroying the patient's other ovary in the process.

And serious medical errors are not rare cases, either. According to a report issued back in November by the Office of Inspector General at the Health and Human Services Department (HHS), medical errors result in 134,000 serious adverse events, and roughly 15,000 deaths, every single month just in the US

First let's look at childhood diseases. Children (this includes young animals, too) are not born with an immune system. What is called passive immunity is passed to the youngster via the mother's milk. There is no substitute for this.

Sadly, not all doctors or midwives encourage breast feeding. And some mothers have difficulty in this area from a low supply to inverted nipples. Others find feeding their baby painful. Mastitis is not uncommon.

All these areas can be helped, if not completely cured, by appropriate homeopathic treatment.

As the baby grows, the immune system starts to develop. But the best way for this to naturally develop is to get in some practice. To get the practice, first you have to get the pathogens – the bacteria, the viruses, the fevers, etc. This is not unlike learning to ride a bicycle. You fall off many times before you get the hang of it. And this usually involves getting a scraped knee or something similar.

But it's all in a good cause. As their immune systems become proficient in their skills, fewer and fewer health issues arise. It's important to know that a healthy child, that is one who is physically and emotionally supported, will rarely get bad bouts. But for those who do, appropriate homeopathic treatment supports the body dealing with the problem.

Homeopathic treatment never suppresses symptoms. It supports the body in times of need. The result is an ever improving immune system. Symptoms are important signs showing what needs help.

Still, some parents feel a little uneasy waiting for disease to happen. They want another, safer alternative to mainstream vaccination. And there is one. It's called homeoprophylaxis (HP).

HP uses the disease as the source of the remedy. However, the remedies themselves are taken beyond the physical properties and only contain the energy of the disease. By administering the remedy orally, the natural defensives of the body are instigated in their rightful order. Only one disease is ever given at one time. This prevents overloading the child's system.

HP does not have any side effects. It does not contain any poisonous or dangerous ingredients. And the efficacy of this treatment is around 80%, an unusually high success rate from any form of treatment.

Not every homeopath supports HP. As in every field of human activity, there are several interpretations of how homeopathy should be used. If you are already using the services of a homeopath and are satisfied with the results, then it makes sense to take his/her advice.

If you are considering homeopathic treatment as an option, or are new to it, it's important for you to know what is available. Although your preferred homeopathic practitioner knows more about health and homeopathy than you do, they are your children. You need to be able to make the most appropriate choices at the time, having weighed up all the information.

Milk Thistle's ability to support healthy liver and kidney function has been known since the 1st century AD. Milk Thistle's active ingredient is Silymarin, which has strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Silymarin comes from a group of flavonoids and research indicates they help repair and protect liver cells from toxic substances. Often utilized by alcoholics with cirrhosis of the liver some studies have shown improved liver function and increased survival rates.

One study in particular concerning workers exposed to toxic chemicals for 5-20 years showed significant improvement to overall liver function when given a standardized Milk Thistle extract (80% silymarin) for 30 days.

Other research has indicated that key constituents in Milk Thistle also promote healthy prostate function and a strong gastrointestinal tract by resolving free radical damage. Since the majority of our immune response is found in the gastrointestinal tract this benefit is a strong reason to consider Milk Thistle as a regular detox method.

Milk Thistle has been verified in laboratory studies to be an anti-cancer treatment. Silymarin has been shown to stop cancer cells from dividing and reproducing, which is why cancer is so deadly. Silymarin also reduces the life span of the cancer's cells. These findings require further testing on humans to be ruled definitive, but they are another valid reason to consider consumption of Milk Thistle as a preventative cancer aid.

Milk Thistle has also shown medicinal benefit for treatments including: lowering cholesterol, reducing insulin resistance in type 2 diabetics who also have cirrhosis, reducing the size of cancerous tumors and growth of cancer cells and reducing liver damage from chemotherapy treatment as well as for liver function for jaundice and for hepatitis patients.

As usual there are mixed results regarding studies concerning Milk Thistle's effectiveness. As with studies concerning Vitamin C, which we all know to be extremely beneficial, most studies completed with Milk Thistle showing ineffective results were tested with very small dosages. These studies concluded that there is no medicinal benefit when studies testing with significantly larger doses concluded the active ingredient, Silymarin, has strong therapeutic effects. Consulting with a naturopath or homeopathic doctor is advised when taking any herbs, especially beyond the recommended dosage.

Many people are concerned whether or not their products contain any of the active ingredients they claim. On average the standard supplement will contain anywhere from 70-80% silymarin when bought from a reputable source.

The only war waged by the cancer industry has been against alternative cancer cures that are efficacious, inexpensive, and non-toxic. The cancer industry wants your business so badly they're ignoring or marginalizing most real cancer prevention possibilities.

Here are a few cancer prevention suggestions.

Vitamin D3

Most of us are highly deficient with this quasi vitamin-hormone. Exposing your skin to direct sunlight helps your body manufacture it, and you can supplement D3 as well. Both D3 sources are recommended since most of us have very low blood D3 counts. Despite the rumors, you can't OD on D3. A recent study featured by Mike Adams discovered up to 40,000 IUs per day is safe.(2)

Most knowledgeable health practitioners recommend five to ten thousand IUs per day. It's estimated that adequate Vitamin D3, which is way beyond the official recommended dosage, will cut your cancer risk in half.

Avoid Toxicity

The verdict is in. Cancer is a man made disease. Our surroundings from inside our homes to our air, water, and food are heavily contaminated and carcinogenic.

It's necessary to throw out all your commercial cleaning agents, detergents, insecticides, and cosmetics and to replace them with natural toxin free items. They are carcinogenic.(3) So is second hand cigarette smoke. Tap water is often chlorinated and fluoridated: both additives are carcinogenic and more. Use water that's been purified through reverse osmosis at least.

Avoid vaccinations. They actually destroy your immunity. Decades ago, the polio vaccine was created using SV 40 (Simian Virus 40). Then a government health official, Dr. Bernice Eddy, publicly warned of a cancer epidemic if the carcinogenic SV 40 wasn't removed. She was fired for that, but further research and the acceleration of cancer victims indicate she was right.(4)

Detox

With industry pollution, chemtrails, and now increased radiation dangers, including mammograms and TSA madness, it's impossible to avoid all toxins. We should detox as often as possible, perhaps once a month.

Coffee enemas and gall bladder flushes (5); colon cleansing enemas (6); cilantro and chlorella (7); activated charcoal slurries (8); and zeolite. Also research the items needed to protect against the latest increased toxin, radiation.(9)

Diet

Eliminate processed foods, GMO foods, MSG, aspartame, high fructose corn syrup, bleached flour products, and processed table sugar. These are all part of the toxic Standard American Diet (SAD). If you are heavily into SAD, allow the possibility of some withdrawal symptoms when you leave SAD.

Eliminate well done red meat. If you are a meat eater, switch to meats from humanely treated grass fed livestock, and avoid overcooking. Lots of organic legumes and whole grains could replace much of a meat diet, and organic sprouted grain breads should replace the toxic bleached flour breads offered on store shelves.

Organic veggies and nuts with some fruit are most important. Cruciferous vegetables, such as cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, and others are proven to help prevent cancer. Raw Brazil nuts are extremely high in selenium, which helps prevent and even fight cancer.

Use only unprocessed sea salt. (10) Get plenty of Omega 3 and consume only healthy fats and oils while avoiding trans-fatty acids. (11) More details for the items numbered in the article are referenced below.

(NaturalNews) Most Americans don't even know what animal naturopathy is, much-the-less that it is a choice they have for their pets' health care. Animal naturopaths are often mistaken for holistic veterinarians and while they do complement each other their roles are quite different.

Holistic veterinarians are all initially conventionally trained and then later seek out the additional training in holistic modalities. Many offer a variety of services while some focus entirely on a modality of choice. Both holistic veterinarians and conventional veterinarians diagnose, prescribe and treat disease although holistic veterinarians choose to utilize natural, holistic methods of treatment.

Animal naturopaths are focused on promoting health rather than treating disease by teaching and following the laws of health mandated in nature. We do not diagnose, treat disease, prescribe medications or perform surgery. Our role is to guide, teach and empower people on how to care for and make decisions for their pets themselves.

The way naturopathy views illness, particularly an acute illness is the body is working to remove any of the "morbid matter", clean house, and get things back into harmonious working condition. Modern medicine tends to look at all germs as the enemy to be eradicated. But germs are all around us. If we try to eradicate them we're killing off ourselves and our animals as well. However, unless the body is properly supported according to its species needs, then eventually the body wears out and surrenders to the dis-ease.
Sadly, most people seek out animal naturopaths only after exhausting all other avenues that most often further debilitate their pets health and well-being. As a result, animal naturopaths must also focus on assisting the animal's body back into homeostasis (or balance) but it can be very challenging after the conventional drugs, vaccines, and food have wrecked their havoc on the body.

People have come to believe that their health and that of their animals isn't a daily lifestyle but something you surrender to your doctor who then tells you what to do when you do get sick. That is not health nor is it health care. That is disease care.

Animal naturopathy is a proactive approach; a daily investment in the health of your pets by honoring the lifestyle each species was designed for in order to thrive. It approaches health or disease with the whole animal in mind, not just the symptoms of disease being the determining factor on whether or not an animal is well or sick; mind, body, and spirit being the integral, interdependent parts that make up the whole animal. Animal naturopaths use the symptoms as a road map to the underlying cause of the imbalance.

For us, nutrition is the cornerstone of health for all animals. What we feed our pets is critical to keeping their bodies in balance and that always needs to be a species appropriate diet.

Animal naturopaths also understand that as the animal's body purges itself of toxins – right down to the cells – that symptoms may manifest in the form of a fever, cough, hotspots, etc. Rather than suppress the toxin elimination the consultant/practitioner seeks to support the animal's body naturally without the assistance of synthetic drugs, but rather they use nature and its modalities.

Animal naturopathy is founded upon the laws of health: nutrition, fresh air, sunshine, pure water, exercise, proper rest, temperance and trust in divine power. Animal naturopaths will use (when needed to help assist the body's innate healing ability) supplements, essential oils, herbs, homeopathy, acupressure, massage, etc., depending on their preferences and the extent of their individual additional training.

Animal naturopathy respects the animal as a whole, and seeks to support the animal as mind, body, and spirit, in totality rather than as parts of that whole; it empowers people to be responsible for the health of their animals rather than surrendering that power.

Our hope is that many will become versed and knowledgeable about this proactive approach to animal care.

(NaturalNews) Censorship of the truth about what is really going on at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility has been taken to a whole new level of corruption. According to a recent report from the Shingetsu News Agency, the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication (MIAC), in conjunction with the National Police Agency and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), has established a special project team to crack down on independent and freelance news agencies that criticize or otherwise scrutinize the official Japanese government position concerning Fukushima.

The Japanese government appears to be working closely with both the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) and the nation's mainstream media outlets to maintain the facade that everything is just fine, and that the nuclear meltdown situation is largely mitigated and under control. But recent prodding and questioning by certain media sources outside this "good ol' boys" club have struck a nerve with authorities, sparking the new crackdown on those who oppose the official story. Authorities say such scrutiny is a threat to national security.

For the most part, the mainstream Japanese media has been the only type of media invited to most of the press conferences concerning Fukushima. And the reporters who attend these events merely reiterate what TEPCO and others are saying about the situation, without asking any hard questions or investigating the situation. But the few press conferences at which independent and freelance reporters have been permitted to attend have been rife with the tough, hardball questions that nobody else has been asking — and this has caused quite an upset.

"Freelance journalists and foreign media are pursuing the facts, even going into the radiation exclusion zone," explained Uesugi Takashi, an independent journalist that has been pushing the Japanese government to be more forthcoming with the truth about the situation. "However, surprisingly, the Japan government continues to prevent freelance journalists and overseas media from gaining access to official press conferences at the prime minister's house and government."

One of the biggest and most obvious questions that many independent journalists, as well as Japanese citizens, are asking concerns the near-total blackout of information on the current status of Fukushima. Authorities continue to repeat that the situation is under control, but where is the actual evidence to back this claim? And if those in power have nothing to hide, then why have all the meetings between TEPCO officials and the government been private, closed-door meetings that exclude actual journalists?

Meanwhile, empty reassurances that the Fukushima situation is essential "over" have drawn many citizens who previously evacuated the Fukushima exclusion zone back into these dangerous areas. This occurs, of course, as radiation readings around the world continue to rise in response to the Fukushima disaster

I could try screaming but I am not the type…or crying, well that comes almost too easily. Perhaps I am crazy. After all, Ann Coulter got on TV and actually said, "The only good news is that anyone exposed to excess radiation from the nuclear power plants is now probably much less likely to get cancer." And Dr. Josef Oehmen, a research scientist at MIT, said, "I repeat, there was and will *not* be any significant release of radioactivity from the damaged Japanese reactors."

I wrote some pretty crass words the other day to begin an essay:

Avoiding exposure and radiation-induced diseases might come down to, I am terribly sorry to say, running for our lives. Anyone who cannot accept this is the reality millions of Japanese face is probably not worth saving so let them consume all the milk and unwashed leafy vegetables they can.

I got two probably well-deserved complaints about it. I allowed myself the expression as my first lines in a terrible document about the worsening situation in Japan and I could feel my anger building about the insensitivity of our world civilization and its institutions.

My editors also allowed me the expression and still I don't know how to express it differently, not really. My heart keeps crying silently for my friends and family in America. I mean I know how everyone must feel knowing that radiation exposure will very shortly be drizzling into most places in North America and the rest of the hemispheric north 24/7. Today, if you look at the maps, mid-range levels of radiation are hitting the west coast. The forecast for April 19 looked like this:

Source

How I'm supposed to be real and not use four-letter words is a mystery to my heart this second. Tell me how am I to feel saying something like that. What kind of being would take pleasure in making such a radioactive weather forecast? How many fathers are sitting on the beach, like I was yesterday with four of my six kids, looking out from the point furthest east in all the Americas, the point closest to Africa, and see about 2,000 miles away the leading edge of the nuclear pollution hitting a back draft from northern Africa. And my wife is attached to our life here in this great sea city and does not want to move to Sanctuary in the interior.

I have to be upset for I have to make sure everyone in the house, and that's a lot of people, are taking their iodine way out in advance of any incoming iodine radiation. Down here that really will not be a problem because of its very short half-life. After three months there is very little left but all the other nuclear particles will have no problem eventually finding their way down here to the southern hemisphere. Just look at what has been from one month of exposure to the north. Look at these maps repeatedly for effect! That is unless you prefer to drink some milk with some radiation. I don't think any of my readers would want to but I am not so sure about all the people who buy the mainstream news hook, line and sinker.

There are plenty who are saying radiation is good for you and probably are planning on going to the northeast of Japan instead of the Dead Sea to bathe in the healing waters. Well perhaps not, but remember, there have been a lot of important people running around for decades saying that nuclear energy is safe and use it all the time to treat and diagnose disease.

Even radioactive iodine is pumped into people by doctors, so hurray for the nuclear disaster, bring on some more, which might be coming if you look at what is happening in terms of increasing earthquake and volcanic activity. So yes, I am sorry, but I will stick to my guns. There are people on this planet I would say go ahead, drink the milk and consume lots of big leafy vegetables — it might save them a trip to Japan!

Meanwhile for all those who think: okay, well it's only four or five nuclear reactors out of control and only a few nuclear pools with older spent nuclear rods melting, but we should be able to handle that right? Remember the other day when Dr. Michio Kaku said all it would take is one thing like a pipe breaking or another earthquake to make this situation even more catastrophic than it already is? Look at this video about seismic activity in the world.

How are the good doctors of the world going to deal with medical insanity and pharmaceutical terrorism now? One of the reasons the medical establishment is incapable of responding to the nuclear threat and the spreading contamination from Japan (that is circling around the globe) is that it is an institution that loves to use radioactive iodine, a substance that causes cancer, to treat cancer. Sounds kind of crazy and it is. Many patients are getting a thyroid cancer treatment that kills thyroid tissue, causing harm to other tissues while at the same time actually increasing the potential for thyroid cancer.

According to a new study published in Cancer, researchers are fingering doctors who are treating patients with early-stage, low-risk thyroid cancer using radioactive iodine, which does not increase their chances of surviving but does instead put them at risk for a secondary cancer. "Our study shows that these low-risk patients do not need radioactive iodine," Dr. Ian Ganly, one of the study's authors from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, told Reuters Health "Therefore there is no need to expose these patients to any risk from (radioactive iodine) treatment," he said in an email.

The American Thyroid Association endorses the use of radioactive iodine even though it also causes cancer of the salivary gland — where radioactive iodine may accumulate — as well as leukemia. Dr. Ganly said the risk of leukemia increases because radioactive iodine circulates in the blood, thus exposing bone marrow to its tissue-killing effects.

Don't be totally surprised if they announce that radioactive iodine from the out-of-control nuclear plant is good for the public and will save money because then patients will not need to pay for their radioactive iodine medications. The radioactive iodine taken in from the air, water and food will find its way into everyone's thyroids saving oncologists the trouble. Excuse my heavy sarcasm this morning; it's difficult to stay even-keeled as I write.

There are people and doctors who have said the little bit of mercury found in the flu and other vaccines is good for kids but, lo and behold, I read this morning that Poul Thorsen, the principal coordinator of multiple studies funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who used to deny a vaccine/autism link, was indicted on April 13th on 13 counts of fraud and 9 counts of money-laundering. The charges relate to funding for work he conducted for the CDC that claimed to disprove associations between the mercury-based vaccine preservative, thimerosal, and increased rates of autism.

Now anyone with a cow's worth of sense would have understood that a strong neurotoxin like mercury was a strong neurotoxin. Gee people, don't you see how retarded ignorance rules in the CDC, FDA, AMA, WHO and dozens of other medical organizations? Stupid does not quite cover it does it? Now we know it's criminal, it's greed, and it's the politics of power and darkness on earth at its best.

Why should we be alarmed about nuclear fallout of radioactive iodine? Doctors use it so why should we be afraid of breathing it, eating it or taking it for breakfast in our milk and coffee? And why take nutritional iodine? It will only interfere with the uptake of the radioactive type! That's what oncologists seem to want and it seems that is why these are the last people on earth we should trust during a nuclear crisis.

Dr. Edward Golembe, who directs a hyperbaric oxygen chamber at Brookdale University Hospital in Brooklyn, said he had treated serious radiation injuries to the jaw and called them "a horrible, horrible thing to see." When we deal with radiation we deal with death for it is the death principle that doctors are trying to harness with terrible results. Most people who employ radiation in their treatments for cancer suffer horribly, but some worse than others.

Just being alive today is to walk through the valley of the shadow of death in terms of radiation exposure. Background radiation on earth has increased in the nuclear age coming from all the above-ground testing of the last century, nuclear plants, nuclear waste, uranium mining, and from depleted uranium weapons that are commonly used in the American, British and Israeli armies and navies and air forces. In addition there is constant and increasing exposure to other forms of radiation from microwave towers, cell phones, wireless phones and computer systems.

Most mainstream doctors believe that nutritional iodine only protects us from radioactive iodine and not the rest of the dangerously hot radioactive particles. Though this is true in a literal sense (and still neither the government nor doctors are recommending iodine supplementation) it is NOT TRUE in a medical sense.

Radiation causes death not only through cancer but also through heart disease, diabetes and other chronic situations. In the first edition of my Iodine book I started out with these words:

The role of iodine in the body goes far beyond its function of making thyroid hormones. Iodine is related to the ability to resist disease.

In fact just over a hundred years ago iodine was allopathic medicine's most universal medicine. Today many doctors are seeking alternatives and many alternative health care practitioners are in search of more powerful and safe ways of helping their clients. Iodine should satisfy everyone because it has the potential to help just about everyone who supplements with it. We all need iodine to survive; it is essential for human physiology, so our health is dependent on its presence in sufficient quantities.

That means that iodine will help prevent radiation of all kinds from tearing our health down to the gutter. It along with magnesium, selenium, sulfur, bicarbonate, vitamin C, chlorella, spirulina, superfood formulas like Rejuvenate, clay, chelators like HMD, IMD,? glutathione and nebulizing it with bicarbonate, ALA and intestinal formulas loaded with apple pictin, NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine) and a long list of other things will help mitigate radioactive cellular damage and help eliminate radioactive particles from the body. Edible clay of course is an essential as is really pure water and lots of it.

Not everyone dies from high-level radiation exposure! That's the good news!

It's a hard moment but we are only receiving tastes of what is to come. That's the bad news.

I am preparing a chapter on sulfur for the Nuclear Toxicity Syndrome book and I have been meaning to get one out about zeolite — because first they were arresting people in Japan for selling it and now we hear the nuclear company is using it at the plant to control radiation. I can tell you Dr. Garry Gordon has a lot to say about zeolite as do the Russians.

In the old days you would hear shouted from the mastheads, "Prepare to repel boarders," as the enemy would gather to try to board your ship. Today someone (that someone being me) is finally shouting, PREPARE TO REPEL NUCLOID PARTICLES. PREPARE DEFENSES IN DEPTH. PREPARE EARLY.

It has only been five weeks since we hit the nuclear iceberg and over the next few years, or perhaps even a shorter period, millions will go down just from this particular mishap. I am afraid that we are only just beginning our lessons in worst-case scenarios playing out in our lives.

I really should stop but I just read an interesting article and want to include it at the end.

"On April 4, the Japanese government also has requested the Japan Meteorological Society and Japanese universities not to release data from radiation measurement to avoid "public panic". Rainwater samples have all demonstrated elevated concentrations of radioactive Tellurium-02, Ruthenium-04 and Technetium-04.

"280 sensors to measure radiation release from atomic bomb testing were established under the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1996. These sensors are detecting levels equivalent to Chernobyl releases. One scientist, Gerhard Wotawa, noted, 'I've never seen data like this in my career.'

"So how do we deal with disaster? Austria, Germany, Canada and Australia have banned eight episodes of Matt Groening's U.S. anime series, The Simpsons, dealing with nuclear crisis. The Simpsons, now in its 24th season with 480 episodes, has been one of the few outlets to show the greed of nuclear operators, groveling toadies and a complacent public to a mainstream television audience — meltdowns caused by jelly doughnuts!

"Kopp Online, Xander News and other non-English news agencies are reporting that the EU implemented a secret "emergency" order, without informing the public, that increases the amount of radiation permitted in food by up to 20 times the previous food standards.

"According to EU bylaws, radiation limits may be raised during a nuclear emergency to prevent food shortages.

"Japan itself has now restricted rice planting in soil with more than 5,000 Becquerels per kilogram of radioactive caesium, the first time maximum radiation levels have been set for soil anywhere. The Fukushima prefectural government announced on April 6 that rice paddies 20-30 kilometers from the nuclear plant have shown as much as 15,031 Becquerels.

People, we are into only five weeks of intensifying contamination with no end in sight. And the growing red spot in northern Japan demands that we think of the people there with empathy and compassion, for the axe of one-world medicine, government and industrial power is falling on these people hardest. They are a people who are still not being officially warned away no matter how high the radiation gets.

On Saturday April 16th it was reported that levels of radioactive materials in the seawater rose again. The level of radioactive iodine 131 jumped to 6,500 times the legal limit, according to samples taken Friday, up from 1,100 times the limit in samples taken the day before. Levels of cesium 134 and cesium 137 rose nearly fourfold.

Vitamin C has many valuable attributes as a powerful antioxidant. Not only has it been shown to increase the ability of the immune system to fend off disease, but it also has a very positive effect for eradicating radiation from the body. Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin with over 300 metabolic functions and is non-toxic in mega doses. Whatever the body does not utilize is excreted in the urine. The half life of vitamin C is approximately a half hour so it is in and out of your system rather quickly. Therefore to treat with vitamin C it must be taken relatively often over the course of the day to maintain saturation. Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy have utilized mega doses of vitamin C for years in order to counter and protect themselves from deadly radiation.

Vitamin C is one of the best defenses against the effects of cell damaging free radicals. Radiation causes proliferation of free radicals by breaking or damaging chemical bonds in DNA, leading to cell death. Dr Levy has a book titled, Vitamin C, Infections Diseases, & Toxins. In this book he indicates radiation toxicity can cause mutations, cancer, birth defects and bone marrow suppression and can negatively affect all the tissues of the body due to the increase in free radicals. He indicates mega doses of vitamin C are potent enough to cope with this threat to the body. Vitamin C has been shown to help the immune system sweep the body of free radicals and in doing so protect the body from the damaging effects associated with them. The recommended daily dose on average is anywhere from 1000mg-3000mg; however, many utilize a mega dose of up to 20,000mg a day. Linus Pauling indicated 20,000mg a day was the most his patients could tolerate orally. Intravenous vitamin C has been used at doses 10 times that level with no problems.

Vitamin C does more than protect against radiation, it also repairs damage from previous exposure. For example, researchers at Harvard Medical School indicated: "Our experiment showed that vitamin C can prevent damage from radiation…it somehow keeps the radiation from killing the cells." Their experiment showed a dosage of 10grams (10,000mg) for humans exposed to extensive radiation had beneficial results protecting the body.

Vitamin C is well studied. Although many specific studies have not been completed to determine all the benefits of mega dose treatment with vitamin C, plenty of case studies indicate its positive attributes. Most notable is the ability of vitamin C to help the body recover and to protect vital bodily functions when undergoing radiation during chemotherapy. Although the radiation released from Japan's nuclear plant is well above the exposure limit of chemotherapy, the levels of radiation on American soil are minimal at this time. Vitamin C supplementation at the minimum dosage of 1000-3000mg would be a wise and cheap source of protection against the effects of radiation in the air, food and soil.
