Love within and with Japan; the power we have to help heal the world

As a mother, who knows the importance of being prepared, I completely understand why there is so much worry about the potential radiation effects from the crisis in Japan.  However, what I am hearing alot of is FEAR…and some are capitalizing on this for their own self interest.

I want to put out  a simple reminder that fear and worry never really help us.  They give the mind the illusion that we are “doing something” to control the outcome in situations where we are largely helpless. And they are the obstacles that we must move through to reconnect to love.  Fear weakens, love heals.  In health, fear depresses the immune system, love strengthens it and creates miracles.

Right now, our Japanese brothers and sisters are in the midst of a heartbreaking crisis that is a wake up call to us all.

Regardless of what we choose to do to ‘protect our health’ (which is not my domain) there is very little we can control in each moment no matter how much we worry.  But I do know one thing that can help everyone.

I know without a doubt, that the more we focus on connecting to the LOVE within us and from our higher power, and envision extending this love and compassion out to the people of  Japan and their families, we will all feel stronger, more peaceful and more hopeful.

This is an incredible time to focus on the impact we have to change the world in each moment, beginning from the ever simple yet profound power of our heart.

I want to invite you to stop what you are doing right now, and take a simple moment to breathe and connect to this LOVE that heals and transforms beyond our imagination.

May all of those affected by this tragedy feel the love, support and compassion of their brothers and sisters here in the West.

And although I don’t dispense medical advise (and am not doing so here), I do want to share what I have found to be the most hopeful approach to health protection for me and my family.  What I love about it is that in implementing these suggestions, we are simply improving our health no matter what happens, allowing me to stay positive with my family.

“At the time of the atomic bombing, Tatsuichiro Akizuki, M.D. was
Director of the Department of Internal Medicine at St. Francis’s
Hospital in Nagasaki and he fed his staff and patients a strict diet
of brown rice, miso and tamari soy soup, wakame, kombu and other
seaweed, Hokkaido pumpkin, and sea salt. He also prohibited the
consumption of sugar and sweets since they suppress the immune system.
By imposing this diet on his staff and patients, no one succumbed to
radiation poisoning whereas the occupants of hospitals located much
further away from the blast incident suffered severe radiation
fatalities. Much of this positive result has to do with the fact that
the sea vegetables contain substances that bind radioactive particles
and escort them out of the body. This is why seaweed sales usually
skyrocket after radiation disasters, and why various seaweeds and
algae are typically used to treat radiation victims.

In Chernobyl, for instance, spirulina was used to help save many
children from radiation poisoning. By taking 5 grams of spirulina a
day for 45 days, the Institute of Radiation Medicine in Minsk even
proved that children on this protocol experienced enhanced immune
systems, T-cell counts and reduced radioactivity. Israeli scientists
have since treated Chernobyl children with doses of natural beta
carotene from Dunaliella algae and proved that it helped normalize
their blood chemistry. Chlorella algae, a known immune system builder
and heavy metal detoxifier, has also shown radioprotective effects.
Because they bind heavy metals, algae should therefore be consumed
after exposure to any type of radioactive contamination. (Note: Marine
phytoplankton is also a powerbul detoxifier and nourishing product)

In 1968 a group of Canadian researchers at McGill University of
Montreal, headed by Dr. Stanley Skoryna, actually set out to devise a
method to counteract the effects of nuclear fallout. The key finding
from their studies was that sea vegetables contained a polysaccharide
substance, called sodium alginate, which selectively bound radioactive
strontium and eliminated it from the body.

Sodium alginate is found in many seaweeds, especially kelp, and since
that time the Russians have been seriously researching the use of
their own kelps from Vladivlostok, from which they have isolated the
polysaccharide U-Fucoidan, which is another radioactive detoxifier.
Because miso soup was so effective in helping prevent radiation
sickness, the Japanese have also done research identifying the
presence of an active ingredient called zybicolin, discovered in 1972,
which acts as a binding agent to also detoxify and eliminate
radioactive elements (such as strontium) and other pollutants from the
body.

The kelps and algaes aren’t the only natural foods with radio-
detoxifying effects. In terms of fluids to drink, black and green tea
have shown “radioprotective effects” whether consumed either before or
after exposure to radiation. This anti-radiation effect was observed
in several Japanese studies, and studies from China also suggest that
the ingredients in tea are radioactive antagonists.

In short, after any sort of radioactive exposure you want to be eating
seaweeds and algaes along with almost any type of commercial heavy
metal chelating formula to bind radioactive particles and help escort
them out of the body. Whether you’re worried about depleted uranium,
plutonium or other isotopes, this is the wise thing to do which can
possibly help, and certainly won’t hurt. Many nutritional supplements
have been developed for the purpose of detoxifying heavy metals, most
of which contain the algaes and plant fibers and other binding
substances. Basically, an anti-radiation diet should focus on the
following foods:

1. Miso soup.
2. Spirulina, chlorella and the algaes (kelp, etc).
3. Brassica vegetables and high beta carotene vegetables.
4. Beans and lentils.
5. Potassium, calcium and mineral rich foods.
6. High nucleotide content foods to assist in cellular repair
including spirulina,
chlorella, algae, yeast, sardines, liver, anchovies and mackerel.
7. Cod liver oil and olive oil.
8. Avoid sugars and sweets and wheat.
9. A good multivitamin/ multimineral supplement.

Yet another benefit of the sea vegetables rarely discussed is their
high mineral content, which is a bonus in the case of radioactive
exposure. Consuming natural iodine, such as in the seaweeds, helps
prevent the uptake of iodine-131 while iron inhibits the absorption of
plutonium-238 and plutonium-239. Vitamin B-12 inhibits cobalt-60
uptake (used in nuclear medicine), zinc inhibits zinc-65 uptake and
sulfur is preventative for sulfur-35 (a product of nuclear reactors)
incorporation by the body.

Since nuclear workers are potentially exposed to radioactive sulfur,
this means that workers in the atomic power industry need a higher
content of sulfur in their diet. MSM supplements provide a source of
dietary sulfur, but thiol supplements such as cysteine, lipoic acid
and glutathione serve double-duty in this area because they help
detoxify the body and attack all sorts of other health problems as well.

Depleted uranium is currently in the journalistic spotlight because US
weapons are made from this material, and after being fired leave a
legacy of depleted uranium dust in the environment, which anyone can
absorb. Because the kidneys are usually the first organs to show
chemical damage upon uranium exposure, military manuals suggest doses
or infusions of sodium bicarbonate to help alkalinize the urine if
this happens. This makes the uranyl ion less kidney-toxic and promotes
excretion of the nontoxic uranium carbonate complex.

In areas contaminated by depleted uranium dusts, it therefore makes
sense to switch to drinking slightly alkaline water and to favor a non-
acidic diet to assist in this detoxification. Any of the heavy metal
detoxifiers, such as miso soup, chlorella, spirulina and seaweeds, are
also commonsense warranted.”
