iI've written about this before, but it seems to bear repeating here and now.
Some years ago a very savvy RN friend of mine taught us a simple test for radiation levels in the body. She instructed us to paint a patch of red iodine about the size of a half dollar or so anywhere on the skin (where it doesn't show). If the patch disappears in less than 24 hours, it is an indication that your body is holding too much radiation. Obviously you'll want to do this AFTER your shower or bath.)
In that case, you should repeat the patch (always in a different location) until it no longer fades away in 24 hours. At that point your excess radiation will be neutralized and balanced.
This is a simple and very cheap way of protecting yourself from excess radiation. I live in the midst of four nuclear generating plants, and of course there is always natural radiation from the sun, not to mention the manmade fallout referred to in this thread.
The epidemic thyroid/parathyroid imbalances seen everywhere are no surprise when we consider the radiation pollution we deal with daily. (Iodine is "thyroid-food".)
It's probably a good idea to stock up with red iodine, cheaper than the de-colorized stuff, and needed to mark your skin....
Peace and health to all~~ Namaskar

: BAGHDAD, July 28 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) –
: Cancer and birth defects have been spreading like wildfire
: in Iraq since the 1991 US-led Gulf War, prompting doctors
: to describe them as the Iraqi version of flu.
: Depleted uranium (DU) used by the United States and its allies
: against Iraq has taken its toll on around 120,000 to
: 140,000 Iraqis, according to the latest estimates released
: by the Iraqi health ministry.
: With Iraq becoming an almost radioactive toxic wasteland, the
: number of birth defects and cancer-infected Iraqis is on
: the rise day in and day out due to the lingering effects of
: the deadly nuclear substance, the London-based Al-Quds
: Press news agency reported Tuesday, July 27.
: Dr Abdul Kazimi, director of Baghdad only nuclear medicine
: hospital, said 7500 Iraqis are being infected with cancer
: ever year.
: The substance is also blamed for the so-called Gulf War
: Syndrome, the still-unexplained malady that has reportedly
: plagued hundreds of thousands of Gulf War veterans.
: Press reports say about 100,000 tons of DU munitions had been
: used in the Desert Storm military operation, the first time
: such a weapon was used in a warfare.
: On January 16, 1991, the US launched its allied Desert Storm
: military operation to liberate Kuwait.
: The unprecedented US-led aerial bombardment and DU
: armor-piercing shells forced the Iraqi troops to
: desperately retreat from Kuwait on February 27.Aggravated
: Abdul Hamid Khalifa, an Iraqi specialist on carcinogens, said
: the crippling 13-year-old US sanctions slapped on Iraq
: after the war have made matters worse.
: "It is a disaster in the broad sense of the word that has
: slipped out of control," he said.
: "Cases of cancer-infected Iraqis started emerging
: following the 1991 Gulf War with most of the cases
: concentrating in the south and women taking the
: brunt."
: The specialist added that infantry troops were identified as
: receiving the highest exposures to DU radiation.
: He further said that contaminated water, expired imported food
: stuff and devastated health infrastructure added insult to
: injury.
: Khalifa stressed that environmental pollution is causing 70
: percent of cancer cases and food 30 percent.
: Farras Abd, an Iraqi citizen whose uncle is a DU victim, said
: prayers are his one and only option.
: "The hospital is running out of medicine and can’t cope
: with the increasing number of cancer patients, who can’t
: afford traveling abroad for treatment," he
: noted.Deadly Substance
: According to the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP),
: depleted uranium is a highly dense metal that is the
: byproduct of the process during which fissionable uranium
: used to manufacture nuclear bombs and reactor fuel is
: separated from natural uranium.
: Uranium, a weakly radioactive element, occurs naturally in
: soil and water everywhere on Earth, but mainly in trace
: quantities.
: A second, potentially more serious hazard is created when a DU
: round hits its target.
: As much as 70 percent of the projectile can burn up on impact,
: creating a firestorm of ceramic DU oxide particles.
: The residue of this firestorm is an extremely fine ceramic
: uranium dust that can spread by the wind, inhaled and
: absorbed into the human body and absorbed by plants and
: animals, becoming part of the food chain.
: Once lodged in the soil, the munitions can pollute the
: environment and create up to a hundredfold increase in
: uranium levels in ground water, according to the UNEP.
: DU is said to be radioactive for about 4 thousand years.
