Radiation Sickness Can Be Helped
Radiation sickness can result from the effects of a nuclear explosion, from being exposed to radiation leakage from a nuclear power plant such as from the Japan nuclear crisis at Fukushima, from being near where nuclear weapons are tested, from eating food grown in a radiation-affected area or drinking water from the affected area, from living or working near or in a nuclear power facility, or from having had a series of X-Rays, as in Radiation -therapy for cancer.
Radiation chemicals are toxins which accumulate in the body, just like other chemicals such as farmyard pesticides and herbicides do. You tackle the problem of radiation sickness with the same detoxifying techniques as with any other chemical exposure, and the recovery time in both instances will depend on what the severity of exposure has been.
Macrobiotic diets, Raw food diets for a period, castor oil, enemas, and detoxifying baths can all help to rid the body of radiation chemicals. Modalities such as Homeopathy and Ayurvedic Medicine, and Herbal Medicine can also be of great benefit if you are recovering from Radiation Sickness.
One Effective and Easy Way To Reduce Radiation Chemicals is with Baking Soda and Epsom Salts. The Epsom Salt Bath has long been a remedy to help remove toxins from the body. Epsom salts enrich the body with Magnesium, which is another counter–active measure against Radiation.
The Classic Epsom Salts Bath: Simply put two cups of Epsom salt crystals into your bath water. Soak in the bath for no more than 20 minutes, as the bath can be debilitating if you stay in for too long.
If you have low blood pressure then you need to be particularly careful about this: I f I had low blood pressure, or was particularly weak, I would stay in for only 10 minutes with the first bath, to test out my reaction. This bath is OK to use once or twice a week, depending on the severity of radiation, and your own vitality. Do not use too often or too long is the general rule.
Sea Salt Baths To Help Reduce Radiation Toxins: You can use the same above method and rules for Epsom salts to use a Sea Salt Bath. Add two cups of real Sea Salt to your bath water. Soak for no longer than 20 minutes, topping up the water with hot if necessary.
Baking Soda Bath To Reduce Radiation Toxins: Use the same instructions as for the Epsom Salts Bath. You can use between one and two cups of baking soda for the bath.
Combined Baking Soda and Sea Salt Bath: This is supposed to be very effective in reducing any toxins, especially radiation toxins. Use one cup of Baking Soda, and one cup of Sea Salt in your bathwater.
These Detoxifying Baths, Epsom Salts, Baking Soda, and Sea Salt, all help to reduce radiation from the body, help the lymph flow, and clear the auric body. Even if you have not suffered radiation poisoning and are not suffering radiation sickness, these baths, taken from time to time, will improve your health and help to keep your system free of unwanted chemicals.
Radiation Burns and Comfrey.
Of course, you must see your doctor if you or your child has a burn. But Comfrey can be a valuable measure in the event of there being no doctor in sight.
The best remedy I know for burns of ANY kind, is Comfrey. This was known as ‘the Miracle Herb’, and it is such a pity that the drug companies have, in my opinion, engineered the ‘research’ into the herb Comfrey, Symphytum officinale, which has resulted in Comfrey being banned just about everywhere in the world.
If you are unlucky enough to have had radiation burns, then I believe that Comfrey would be the best thing to treat those burns. Comfrey has a special healing substance in its mucilage, called Allantoin.
Allantoin, from Comfrey, is a known cell-proliferant, which means that it encourages the cells to grow and heal quickly. The drug companies know about Allantoin, and have prevented the public from using Comfrey so that they have the monopoly on the healing ingredient: They use in some medicines.
Comfrey is very healing, also, because it is rich in mucilage, a slimy material which is soothing to the skin and to burns. I healed a burn on one of my children with the aid of Comfrey and Vitamin E oil. Initially, when the burn was raw from having boiling water just spilled on the skin, I used ice in a wet cloth to put over the burn. While this was cooling the burn, I boiled up several comfrey leaves in a small amount of water. I let these cool completely, then mashed them up and put them into a piece of gauze, which I place over the skin. I kept putting fresh applications of the cold, mashed comfrey over the skin, replacing it so that it never dried out, and was always fresh. This burn, which had lifted the skin, healed without a scar.
I think that the world should sit up and take notice: Valuable healing herbs, such as Comfrey, are being denied us simply so that the drug companies have TOTAL control of the healing medicines. We all should be pushing to have Comfrey put back into our ouvre of healing herbal medicines.
Baking Soda To Help Radiation Burns
Of course, you must see a doctor or go to thew hospital if you have burns. But in case there is not a doctor or a nurse available, here is a method which might help until you can get medical attention:
If Comfrey is not available to you, then the next best thing would be the Baking Soda. Use fine cotton gauze, and soak it in a solution of Baking Soda and water. This must be cold, of course. Use one cup of Baking Soda in about a litre of water. Keep the gauze wet with this mixture. Do not let it dry out. Keep up the applications for a day or two, then begin letting the would have fresh air as well. Giving my child Vitamin E capsules, and opening up a couple of capsules to put over the would twice a day, helped the burn to heal.
How soon after X ray exposure do I need to do the de-tox soak?
I would start as soon as possible, on the day of the X-ray. I would carry out a daily detox soak with baking soda and epsom salts for three consecutive days, then leave for three days – then repeat as necessary. If you have been subjected to large amounts of radiation, then it might be good to continue with the detox for several weeks, using two or three detox soaks per week.
Note: Ask your doctor or naturopath about the usage of epsom salts and baking soda – if you have kidney problems or heart problems or are on a restricted salt diet, then you might need to go easy on the epsom salts.
Vitamin C is also very good for helping to eliminate the effects of radiation from X-rays.
If one had radiation for breast cancer and they had to give me more radiation than normal and I also had many mammograms, cat scans, mris and xrays due to being in 25 car wrecks, will the sea salt and baking soda bath help me if the radiation for cancer was maybe 15 -20 years ago. I seem to have a lot of health problems and was wondering if there may be a correlation as I recently read that cancer treatment is worth than nuclear fallout as is concentrated or something.
At the time, I recall a within a week or less of the treatment (5 weeks) ending, I had a live blood cell analysis, I did not tell them I had just had this but they told me every cell in the sample had free radical damage and I was taking very high levels of anti-oxidants at the time and 153 supplements,
I did not have 4 of the 5 lifelong symptoms they said I would have and one (3rd degree burns at week 2 on) I did not get until week 5 and they thought this was odd and said over and over that I was very lucky it usually….they did not know I was taking these supplements and using right after the treatment a mix of fresh aloe vera, calendula and vitamin e.
I have in the interim did two long raw juice fasts (30 days and 50 days) so that may have helped.
I want to know will this just take radiation on near the skin or can it removes it form places like bones, organs and the like.
is there anything else that might help? It also read conflicting points –some sites said be absolutely sure to wash all sea salt afterwards and others said be sure not to wash it off until 4 to 8 hours later, so not sure what is best.
