Fukushima radiation taints US milk supplies

[Benedick]

In Hilo, Hawaii, a milk sample collected on April 4, 2011, tested at
18 pCi/l, a level six times the EPA maximum safety threshold.

The same Hawaii sample also tested at 19 pCi/l for Cesium-137, which
has a half life of 30 years,

and a shocking 24 pCi/l for Cesium-134, which has a half life of just
over two years.

EDTA will most likely chelate these radioactive metalks from the
body. Meantime, take you KI and kelp.

To prevent lung cancer using natural substances, due to plutonium
contamination seems quite possible. I have been researching the
subject and I want to share with you what I have found, and what I'm
already doing for myself and soon for Viviana coming back to the
States this Saturday.

But first of all, let me tell you that this Saturday morning we will
not have our customary Non-Duality Made Easy program -- I have to pick
up Viviana at the airport.

As I explained before -- and some scientist are of the same opinion --
the greatest risk to human health is due to the significant amounts of
plutonium present in Fukushima's reactor # 3. This reactor is still
at risk of a total meltdown, which would likely create an explosion of
vapor sending an enormous cloud of radioactive particles at great
altitude into the jet streams. Let's pray this does not happen!
However, even if the meltdown does not happen, it is likely that a
significant amount of plutonium particles have been released and could
be already present in our environment.

In regard to the danger posed by plutonium particles you may want to
check this video interview with Dr. Michio Kaku, nuclear physicist.

(http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=604AB3FA803FF3647DF6E34EC5E8C8A0 )

As Michio Kaku explains in the video, one speck of dust inhaled is
likely to produce lung cancer -- plutonium is that dangerous.

Amazingly, authorities have not said anything about this issue -- as
if it does not exist. I think I heard president Obama promising
transparency during his campaign. Did you?

In my researching, interestingly, I found that there is an FDA
approved substance to chelate Plutonium -- it is called DTPA (Pentetic
acid or Diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid) . The FDA approval is
quite specific. DTPA is approved for chelating (removing from the
body) only three substances: plutonium, americum and curium -- all
radioactive.

You can read interesting information about DTPA at the CDC (center for
disease control) website. Here is the link:

http://emergency.cdc.gov/radiation/dtpa.asp

As you will see there, DTPA is not that easy to get. It is likely that
you and me will never have access to it.

So what can you and me -- without access to the "Strategic National
Stockpiles" mentioned in the CDC website -- realistically do to
prevent plutonium contamination? There is a very interesting,
inexpensive alternative -- and I'm already applying it.

If you read in the DTPA article in Wilkipedia, you will find the
following:

[DTPA] can be viewed as an expanded version of EDTA and it is used
similarly.... Like the more common EDTA, DTPA is mainly used for
sequestering metal ions that otherwise decompose hydrogen peroxide,
which is used to bleach pulp in paper making. Several million
kilograms are produced for this purpose annually.

So, what about EDTA?

In the beginnings of the industrial revolution, coal miners were dying
after a few years working in the mines -- due to mercury
contamination. Mercury is naturally embedded in coal (fish is
contaminated with methyl mercury because we burn coal and release the
mercury into the atmosphere -- despite the existence of effective
filters to prevent this). However, today the coal miners have normal
life spans. How? They pop EDTA tablets or capsules. EDTA chelates the
mercury.

Note: Our government may consider giving EDTA to fish, so it does not
have to rock the boat for the coal industry demanding the
implementation of filters to capture the mercury :).

Will EDTA chelate plutonium? I don't know. However, it is similar to
DTPA, it is a proven effective heavy metal chelator, it is easily
available and inexpensive; thus, it is worth the shot. You can buy it
at www.wonderlabs.com EDTA is sold as a supplement and its
molecule comprises four vinegar molecules assembled together. The
molecule has a basket shape with small holes. Heavy metals --
including plutonium -- are small atoms; because the powerful nucleus
keeps the electrons close to itself. Small atoms go through the small
holes and are captured by the EDTA molecule. Big atoms like magnesium
and other good minerals cannot be chelated by EDTA. Still, it is
advisable to get a multivitamin muti-mineral when you take EDTA.

If you find a way to get DTPA, let me know to pass the information.
Who has DTPA, or is already taking it? I wander...

In my previous letter I made few recommendations. After reading the
opinion of many other health practitioners recommending substances to
chelate or protect the body from radiation, still my program has
changed little. I copy for you again my initial recommendations
including later modifications:

1- Plutonium particles tend to take a ride on dust. Consider buying
one or two air purifiers and let them run 24/7.

2- You may want to avoid dairy products -- according to the government
they have higher than normal radiation levels already -- this means
obviously the possibility of plutonium particles in these foods.

3- Wash vegetables thoroughly -- even if they are organic. Plutonium
particles can be simply washed away.

4- Consider buying Zeolite food grade from www.zeolite.com or any
other place. Zeolite is also a powerful, inexpensive chelator and
safely removes heavy metals from the body. There is already some
evidence that it chelates plutonium too.

5- ACZ nano, is a nano particle zeolite product. I spray it directly
into the lungs once a day. As far as I know it is safe to do that. Use
it at your own risk. You can buy it at:
http://www.vitaminwagon.com/acz-nano--zeolite-2oz-spray.aspx?gclid=CICxhefqi6gCFQQ7gwodyFkoDA

6- You may consider taking several antioxidants like Vitamin C, Raw
Cocoa, Turmeric, Curcumin, Vitamin E, and most especially, the
powerful R- Lipoic Acid (www.lef.org). Antioxidants protect healthy
cells from radiation.

7- Kelp contains enormous amount of iodine. To determine the right
dosage for you, do your own research and listen to your body, but keep
in mind that to avoid damage to your thyroid due to contamination with
radioactive iodine you need to have your thyroid saturated with
healthy iodine. Labels in the kelp bottle some times curry interesting
information too.

8- Selenium is necessary to balance the iodine. Consider taking
between 400 to 600 mcgs a day. Selenium is also a powerful
antioxidant, but in big amounts is toxic. Keep in mind that the
multivitamin multi-minerals also have selenium -- about 200 mcgs

9- Consider taking NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine.) NAC is a powerful
antioxidant and protects the liver against radiation. It is also a
chelator and is inexpensive. But perhaps most importantly, it is a
powerful expectorant. It helps to keep cleansing the lungs from the
inside out. If a plutonium particle goes into your lungs NAC may help
to pull it out. Although spitting out the mucus coming from the lungs
is often not an option, plutonium does not seem to be very assimilable
through the gastrointestinal system. The particle will hopefully pass
through, and be eliminated -- no guarantees though.

10- Consider including plenty of cilantro in your salads -- cilantro
is delicious and a powerful, inexpensive chelator too.

11- To take a multivitamin multimineral is indispensable in order to
prevent a mineral deficiency due to the combined action of chelators.
I strongly recommend the "Two Tablets per Day" from the Life Extension
Foundation www.lef.org. It is inexpensive but very complete. It is
particularly powerful in the B vitamins which are valuable to protect
the body against all type of cancers.

12- Blow your nose regularly. Blowing your nose cleans dust particles
trapped in the nose. Filters in the nose are quite effective if we
keep them clean. I know this is a difficult habit to implement. Try
to anchor it to your meals -- blow your nose before each meals and you
will be doing it three times a day. Additionally, consider blowing
them before and after going to bed.
Plutonium particles radiate intensely, but limited to a short distance
-- about two centimeters.


13- If a plutonium particle gets a hold in the lung, because of its
strong alpha radiation is likely to create a cancer in the surrounding
cells. However, it is relatively simple to keep the cancer localized
and avoid metastasis, by strengthening the collagen.

To strengthen the collagen you use three supplements -- Vitamin C, L-
Lysine and L-Proline. In order to migrate to another organ the cancer
cell has to cut through the collagen to a near bye blood vessel and
take a ride. However, if the collagen is strong the cancer cell
cannot cut through. If the cancer is contained to one location it can
be eventually removed safely or the immune system will take care of
it.

This was Linus Puling discovery on how to heal ALL deadly cancers --
because they ALL rely on metastasis. When he met with the
pharmaceutical industry in Switzerland to informed them about his
empirical discovery, the industry completely ignored him; but only in
appearances. One month later they enter a motion in the United
Nation's Codex Alimentarius to regulate all natural substances as if
they were drugs. They already succeeded in most of the western world,
except in the US. Here 150 million people use supplements so it is a
very unpopular decision -- but they keep trying.

I do recommend the use of this three inexpensive supplements daily,
and I have been using them, on and off, for years. They also have a
powerful protective effect on the arteries internal linings, most
especially in the coronaries. Dr. Linus Pauling had two nobel prices!

Good information, thanks.

I hadn't heard about EDTA chelation therapy before, so I did some reading. It seems there is a major study going on right now - but, personally, I'm inclined to wait until the results are in next year before trying anything, having seen this item:

[matt willis]

I had heavy metal poisoning for years, EDTA is the only thing that worked on removing it. Some people swear by it others dispute it, all I know it works for me don't care if anyone else in the world uses it.

Dear Benedick,  With all due respect, let's not start a rumor that will end up with babies in Hawaiian Acres being deprived of milk!

  There is no danger to Hilo milk!!

  Google the subject and you will find hundreds of articles about the fact that YES, there is detectable radiation in our milk, but NO it is not a dangerous amount. You get more radiation exposure from flying in an airplane for a few hours!

  Here is a direct quote:

HILO (HawaiiNewsNow) – Got milk? Then you may have radiation from the damaged nuclear reactors in Japan … but only a "minute" amount.

The Hawaii Department of Health has found trace amounts of radiation in milk from the Big Island. It is the first time food produced in Hawaii has tested positive for radiation from Japan.

Experts stress the radiation does not pose a threat to public health.

"There should be no concern over the safety of the milk. The milk is perfectly safe at these levels," said Lynn Nakasone, administrator of the Health Department's Environmental Health Services Division.

Radiation is measured in units called picocuries. Tests found 18 picocuries per liter of iodine-131 in Big Island milk. That is well below the Food and Drug Administration's "action level" of 4,700 picocuries per liter. The "action level" is the level at which milk might be pulled from store shelves.

"From 18 to 4,700, obviously that's a very very big difference, so there is no risk as far as Iodine is concerned," Nakasone said.

The Big Island milk had 43 picocuries per liter of cesium-134 and cesium-137 combined. The FDA "action level" for cesium is 33,000 picocuries per liter.

"So again we're looking at very very minute amounts of the ...

Please everyone, do not start a "milk panic". We are exposed to radiation from natural sources everyday that is thousands of times greater than any radiation we are receiving from Japan!

                               Relax!!  Have a nice glass of milk--     Aloha,  Mark Van Doren

[Benedick]

Europeans are being warned now to stop drinking milk and eating
certain vegetables due to the rising levels of radioactive fallout
from Fukushima:
http://www.naturalnews.com/032050_radioactive_food_nuclear_radiation.html

I can't tell which situation is melting down more rapidly, actually:
The Fukushima reactors or the U.S. debt catastrophe. Debt spending by
the federal government is rapidly approaching $1 trillion every six
months... with no end in sight.

The problem is most people do not know the differences between normal, elevated, safe, and dangerous when it comes to radiation levels, the news industry knows this and uses it to its advantage, we all know it's all about selling advertising, your right Mark.

  Matt

Aloha Mark,

 With all due respect, NO nuclear fallout is safe. There is a public health threat when there is any radiation. That it has been detected in Hilo's milk is very bad news, especially for us who are on water catchment. There's not much we can really do about it except eat food only grown in greenhouses that would be safe from the fallout. Watching the plumes spread halfway around the world is disheartening. Experts saying that there is no health threat are mistaken. Drinking or eating radioactive particles is much different from radiation we receive from the sun. The very bad news is that the radiation has shown up so quickly in the milk. These early canaries tell us much as to what's in the food supply.

From http://www.naturalnews.com/032048_radiation_milk.html

 New EPA data just released on Sunday shows that at least three different milk samples-one from  Hilo HI and 2 others from different parts of the US -- have tested positive for radioactive Iodine-131 at levels that exceed the EPA maximum thresholds for safety, which is currently set at 3.0 pico Curies per Liter (pCi/l). Hilo's milk sample collected on April 4, 2011, tested at 18 pCi/l, a level six times the EPA maximum safety threshold. The same Hawaii sample also tested at 19 pCi/l for Cesium-137, which has a half life of 30 years (http://www.naturalnews.com/031992_r...), and a shocking 24 pCi/l for Cesium-134, which has a half life of just over two years (http://opendata.socrata.com/w/pkfj-...).

It's here and it's in our water. Unfortunately the situation remains dire in Japan as further radioactive releases look probable. Current weather patterns are bringing the fallout directly to the US West Coast and to us. Hope that the summertime Pacific High builds and shunts the plumes North and East but of course it's inevitable that the plumes will spread throughout the Northern Hemisphere.

I'm a lifelong milk drinker who's switching to Soy Milk made before March 2011.

[Mark-Sterling Van Doren]

This is a good discussion because it is an important issue. Obviously the nuclear industry does not know what it is doing and I am very concerned about nuclear waste and the threat that nuclear plants pose.

   But it is very important to not to exaggerate or panic during these times. Listen to the scientists, ALL of whom agree it is NOT a danger to drink this milk or eat these foods. There ARE foods in JAPAN that cannot be safely consumed but Hawaii is safe.

  It is not true that there is a public health threat when there is any radiation. There is radiation everywhere in the world at all times. It is all a matter of HOW MUCH radiation.  And the water in our catchments is also entirely safe.

   We need to be alert to dangers, but not to over-react. I suggest you contact Ken Cutting, our local disaster preparedness rep for Hawaiian Acres if you do not trust the newspapers and the television and 95% of the articles on the internet. (And I'm not tryng to be rude or insulting by that- as I said, this is an important discussion. I just mean that there is overwhelming evidence that there is no health threat in Hawaii at this time.)

  On the other hand I am against all nuclear power plants, nuclear weapons, etc.  We just are not advanced enough scientifically yet to safely produce nuclear power. (Obviously)

                -Mark (HACA Area 3 Rep and State Co-Chair, Hawaii Green Party)

[matt willis]

Well Lee

 Your right, I should have said safe levels, we can go round and round about radiation in everyday things all the way down to cigarettes and second hand smoke, how about a microwave oven? Well it is a bad thing, but what is scaring people going to do about it? It is news 

[lee m-s]

FYI, my husband STORM posted about the milk, not me.  My take is about halfway between the two of you.
Lee

[matt willis]

It's all good

i thank you for the information, knowledge is power. to be fore warned you can prepare, which increases your chances of survival in any situation.
