I live on the West Coast of N. America. What do I do about radiation?

Apparently that about of radiation won't kill you. As a matter of fact, radioactive Cesium is used to cure some diseases.


Yeah, i take weekly baths in the stuff.

I hear cesium actually PREVENTS cancer. Clearly we should ingest massive quantities..

Weird, uh? I sometimes think that the nuclear accident was actually very useful and was not an accident after all. But it doesn't make any sense.

Haarp is a common theory on the earthquake..who knows, really. More on west coast radiation from fukushima:

I've been taking cell food. Its a supplement at the health food store or on the internet. Good to support the immune system and help detox the body. Also eat healthy, drink lots of water, and think positive.

You've been given more than adequate information in this thread to see what's happening. If you choose not to believe in it..that's on you.

I tend to be skeptical of things I want to believe and things i dont want to believe equally.

Just accepting as true any unverified report that confirms your pre-conceived notions is not due diligence.

Absolutely get a Geiger counter. Now. Right now. Check your food and water.

Be aware that if you buy an old civil defense (CD) model, you will need to get it calibrated by specialists. Repairs and calibration can exceed the cost of a new machine. One other thing -- only a few models of CD detectors are suitable for checking your food and environment.

If you must work in the rain, wear rain gear that keeps the water off you. Take the gear off at the house entrance and keep it away from your living space. Treat the gear as if it were contaminated. Take reading of it periodically.

You seem knowledgeable about Geiger counters. Tell me what kind(s) i should look at buying. Whats the least expensive that is worth while for a layman?

I work in the rain all day. No way to avoid it. I'm soaked every day, so...

In the low cost models, the Radiation Alert Inspector model seems to have a lot of fans. I also believe you could get good service from an Radex 1706 (English version menus and instruction book). The old civil defense (CD) detectors are quite decent but they must be calibrated.

Note: There are a *lot* of new brand names in the detector business since Fukushima and many of these new detectors are simply junk.

In the more expensive brands, you find NDS and Ludlum, etc. I use the NDS ND-2RPC and a handful of CD detectors.



If you must work in the rain, consider a 2-piece rainsuit and waterproof boots. Motorcycle riding gear is durable and might work for you. If I recall correctly, radiation has been detected in rain at California, Idaho, Minnesota Ohio, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.

I have read that French green clay removes radioactive substances from the body. You can ingest it mixed with water or juice, bathe in it, even wash your food in it. You need to let the food soak for ten minutes before washing it off. I have also read that soaking in epsom salts or baking soda will also draw radioactive substances from the body. The advice on supplementing with chlorella and spirulina is also good. Eat healthy, living foods to boost your immune system. Try to avoid being out in the rain, as radioactive substances get washed out of the atmosphere with the rain.

links?

People who work in the rain get wet. There is no raingear that will allow you to breath (not sweat up a storm) that is actually waterproof. PVC and rubber works, but will tear in the bush, and will make you sweat like a pig.

Thanks for your advice on Gieger counters. I'm still looking at a good one.
