Have you ever walked into your local Dairy Queen and ordered a radioactive banana split? Or possibly more likely, have you ever booked an airline flight and asked for your personal 2 REM dose of radiation? Right now, everyone on earth is bathed in a soup of radioactive energy. There has never before been a time when it was more important to cleanse our bodies of ever present radiation: alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, muons, neutrinos. The list is long and puzzling, and most of it has nothing to do with human activities.

No matter what we do, no matter how health conscious we’ve become, no matter what precautions are taken, our bodies are radiated daily. It is crucially important to counter this bombardment, to remove this radiation and the resultant damage from our bodies on a daily basis. There is nothing better for this purpose than using a quality living clay on a daily basis.

So, just what is it you need to protect yourself from?

The world is waiting now to see what happens to the nuclear plants in Japan that were damaged during the recent massive earthquake that devastated that country.  Nuclear power plants are now a way of life, so in addition to the “ordinary” radiation we receive by virtue of living on the earth, there is the ever present danger of accidents happening in these plants, along with the constant possibility of nuclear war and the use of nuclear weaponry.  In the past 30 years we have had 3 major radioactive incidents -- Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and continuing releases in the Marshall Islands. 

The Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean have been repeatedly “dusted” with Calcium Bentonite Clay, but the level of radiation continually seeping from below ground has yet to be completely and permanently contained.  Due to nuclear weapons testing in and near them from 1956 to 1948, the Marshall Islands received the equivalent of 80 atomic bombs the size of the one dropped on Hiroshima, and is regarded as the most contaminated place in the world.

The “incident” at Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station in 1979 was a wake-up call for most adults in the US.  Simply put, a nuclear reactor near Harrisburg, PA, overheated, causing a core reactor to literally melt down.  Radioactive gasses and mist were released into the air, and, needless to say, panic ensued. 

In 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Ukrainian SSR, now Ukraine, an accident occurred while crews were running tests on the equipment.  It is considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history and resulted in highly dangerous levels of radioactivity being released over a widespread area.  Most of the clean-up at Chernobyl was accomplished with Bentonite Clay.

So, it would seem that the powers-that-be would want everyone to have their own supply of Calcium Bentonite Clay, since that’s what they use for their own messes…not so. Either they have not connected the dots, or they are stockpiling the clay for their own mess ups.

Radiation 101

It’s important to know the truth about radiation so that correct decisions can be made. It’s equally important to know what beliefs are realistic and which are not.

Radiation is energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, sometimes referred to generically as radio waves. Some radiation is quite harmless and passes through our bodies on a 24 hour a day basis (e.g., radio and TV wave frequencies). Higher spectrum, faster moving, wave frequencies can harm at a cellular level (e.g., x-rays or radioactive metals such as plutonium or uranium).

Then, there is Ionizing Radiation. Ionization is the ejection of one or more electrons from an atom or molecule to produce a fragment with a new positive charge (positive ion). The classification of radiation as “ionizing” is essentially a statement that it has enough quantum energy to eject an electron. This is a crucial distinction, since “ionizing radiation” can produce a number of physiological effects, such as those associated with risk of mutation or cancer, which non-ionizing radiation cannot directly produce at any intensity.

The unit of measurement used to measure radiation dosage is the rem, which stands for roentgen equivalent in man. It represents the amount of radiation needed to produce a particular amount of damage to living tissue. The total dose of rems determines how much harm a person suffers. At Hiroshima and Nagasaki, people received a dose of rems at the instant of the explosions, then more from the surroundings and, in limited areas, from fallout.  Fallout is composed of radioactive particles that are carried into the upper atmosphere by a nuclear explosion or meltdown and that eventually fall back to the earth’s surface.

Although a dose of just 25 rems causes some detectable changes in blood, doses to near 100 rems usually have no immediate harmful effects. Doses above 100 rems cause the first signs of radiation sickness including:

• Nausea

• Vomiting

• Headache

• Some loss of white blood cells

Doses of 300 rems or more cause temporary hair loss, as well as more significant internal harm, including damage to nerve cells and the cells that line the digestive tract. Severe loss of white blood cells, which are the body’s main defense against infection, makes radiation victims highly vulnerable to disease. Radiation also reduces production of blood platelets, which aid blood clotting, so victims of radiation sickness are also vulnerable to hemorrhaging.

Half of all people exposed to 450 rems die, and doses of 800 rems or more are always fatal. Besides the symptoms mentioned above, these people also suffer from fever and diarrhea. As of yet, there is no effective treatment for radiation exposures over 800 rems, and death occurs in 1-4 days.

Uranium 235 Isotope (commonly referred to as U235) is a highly charged, positive ion metal found naturally on our planet. Natural uranium mined from the ground is 0.7% pure radiation. Weapons grade U235 has been enriched to 90%+ pure positive ionic radiation. That’s one purpose of nuclear reactors – enrichment. Weapons grade U235 is used in nuclear warheads.

A second type of U235 is known as “waste.” U235 is the garbage left over from the enrichment process. Nuclear waste is commonly 3-5% pure radiation. Some nuclear medical wastes fall into this category as well. A weapons grade U235 warhead containing 90%+ enriched radiation will deliver doses of 1,000+ rems of energy over a several mile radius. At this level, all exposed living things will be killed.

The government, in its report titled “Department of Homeland Security Report on Radiological Dispersal Device (RDD) Preparedness: Medical Preparedness and First Responders Sub-Group” states that once first responders reach the site, it will take 2-24 hours to test for presence of all 6 sub-group types of typical radioactive materials. All you need to know is that a 10 minute delay is much too long.

There are 3 types of appropriate responses to such a blast. The first would be for someone in the fallout area. The second would be for those at, or very near, the blast site who have direct contamination. And the third category would be those outside the potential fallout area and away from any contamination.

Steps to Take if You’re in a Fallout Zone

For those in the first category (within the potential fallout area), like what might be possible with the Japan catastrophe of March 2011, take the following steps:

1. If outdoors, come inside immediately.

2. When in your home or apartment, quickly close all windows and doors.

3. Turn off any outside air source. You may leave on air conditioning or heat if it can be set to utilize re-circulated air from inside the home. Note: The benefit of steps 1-3 is to close your home to possible contamination from the air outside. It could be only seconds before the blast contamination is at your doorstep.

4. Go immediately to an area of your home set aside for such an emergency. Strip off all of your clothing. Secure your clothes and shoes in a plastic bag and put them outside until you can wash them with clay.

5. Using prepared hydrated Calcium Bentonite Clay: Get in the shower and dip your hands into it. Quickly apply the clay over every inch of your body (with the exception of in your eyes). Cover your hair and all nooks and crannies. Scrub your body thoroughly with the clay. Leave it on for 10 minutes. Next, wash off, while continuing to scrub.

6. After drying off, apply another thin film coating of clay and stand with your arms away from your sides and feet slightly apart. In 5-15 minutes the clay will dry on your body.

7. After the clay has dried, put on a disposable pull-on garment, a surgical-type face mask, and disposable shoe covers on your bare feet.

8. Using a prepared liquid Calcium Bentonite Clay and a jar of potassium iodide (KI) into the kitchen and set them on the counter by the sink.  Drink 4 ounces of the liquid Calcium Bentonite Clay and take 2 potassium iodide (KI) tablets or as directed on the label. Periodically every 2-3 hours drink another 2 ounces of the liquid clay.

9. If service is available stay tuned to your TV or radio to stay informed. Note: Get as comfortable as possible because this will be your repetitive treatment and mode of dress for several days to come. You will sleep well knowing you are being protected from radiation.

10. Take a clay bath daily using 1-2 cups of dry clay until danger has passed. You can also give your pets a clay bath.

11. Wash your clothes by adding ¼ cup liquid clay per load.

12. Rinse fresh vegetables in clay water.

For those fortunate enough to not have been in a fallout area, please remain out of the areas affected with radioactive fallout.  Drink 2 ounces of clay twice daily, take 1 Potassium Iodide tablet every morning and take a weekly clay bath.  These are precautionary maintenance doses that are healthy for all of us.  Simply stay away from contaminated areas until the cleanup has been certified.

(Along with disposable garments, surgical masks, and shoe covers, it is suggested to keep Calcium Bentonite Clay and Potassium Iodide tablets on hand as a preparedness precaution for radiation emergencies.)

These are relatively easy steps that can be taken for less severe exposure and the materials necessary are relatively inexpensive. It is important to take these steps immediately.

The Magic of Calcium Bentonite Clay

As you learned earlier, radioactive material is formed carrying a positive ionic charge. Calcium Bentonite Clay is a negatively charged ion. Simply put, Calcium Bentonite Clay adsorbs and absorbs, capturing positive charged ions, and you wash them off or pass them through your body. Unlike other clays, only Smectites (Bentonites) can absorb and adsorb and are characterized by its expandable properties.

Radiation is a real health problem.  Calcium Bentonite Clay is the real solution.  Living Clay, Nature’s Own Miracle Cure by Perry A~ is the definitive guide for using and understanding the multiple benefits of Calcium Bentonite Clay.  This natural mineral will do more than any other substance (natural or pharmaceutical) to remove radioactive isotopes from our bodies and to assist in returning to a state of good health.  However, all clays are not alike.  It is important to know your clays and to find a pure clay.  Go to www.AboutClay.com to read the article Criteria for Selecting a Quality Healing Clay.  Protect your family and yourself from inevitable exposure to radiation by learning about using Calcium Bentonite Clay.
