Herbs that can protect you from Fukushima Radiation

Some amount of radiation from Fukushima has probably already reached you, wherever you live.
Therefore, you might want to be aware of some easily available herbs that can protect you from radiation damage.
Nowegian Kelp
"A study published in the "Canadian Medical Association Journal" discovered that the sodium alginate content found in kelp helps to prevent absorption of radioactive elements, such as strontium-90. Strontium-90 is a byproduct of nuclear power generation and weapons production. Sodium alginate may also serve as a heavy metal detoxifying agent against toxic heavy metals, such as plutonium, barium and cadmium."

Rosemary
"In two separate studies, scientists in Spain found that nothing fights radiation damage to micronuclei like a simple garden herb known as rosemary. They noted that ionizing radiation causes the massive generation of free radicals that induce cellular DNA damage. They studied the protective effects of several compounds against gamma ray induced chromosomal damage in micronuclei testing by adding various compounds to human blood before and after irradiation. When the compounds were added after gamma-irradiation treatment, the protective effects relied not on scavenging ability, but on activity against free radicals already present in the cells, such as lipoperoxy radicals which are mainly responsible for continuous chromosomal oxidative damage.
The fact that carnosic acid and carnosol found in rosemary are fat soluble allows them to provide highly asignificant protective anti-mutagenic activity. Even the most powerful water-soluble antioxidants lack the capacity to protect against gamma ray induced damage. This study can be found in the British Journal of Radiology, February 2 edition.
In their second study, the generation of radiation induced cellular DNA damage to skin from free radicals was the focus. The researchers sought to demonstrate that rosmarinic acid from rosemary would act as a photo-protector both by acting as a scavenger of free radicals and as an inducer of the body's own endogenous defense mechanisms by regulating tyrosinase activity and stimulating melanin production. They found that formulation of toxic malonyldialdehyde was delayed by the use of rosmarinic acid, and the protection factor was 3.34 times greater than for other compounds studied, as measured in micronucleus testing. In vivo testing showed the capacity of orally administered rosmarinic acid to inhibit skin alterations as a result of UV radiation exposure. This study was reported in the February edition of Food and Chemical Toxicology"

Spirulina
Numerous studies have found that Spirulina protects the body against -- and even heals it from -- the damaging effects of harmful radiation.
A 1989 study put forth by researchers from Zhongkai Agriculture and Technology College in China found in tests that Spirulina significantly reduces the gamma radiation-induced micronucleus frequencies in the bone marrow of affected mice. Bone marrow, of course, is responsible for producing new blood cells and maintaining the lymphatic system (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2505406).
A 1993 report published by the Research Institute of Radiation Medicine in Belarus confirmed previous research conducted in 1990-91 which found that Spirulina effectively decreases the radioactive load received by the body when consuming radiation-contaminated food. After just 20 days, children fed five-gram doses of Spirulina every day experienced an average 50 percent reduction in urine radioactivity levels (http://www.iimsam.org/publications_and_repor...).
In a study released by Mechnikov Odessa State University in Ukraine in 2000, Spirulina proved effective at increasing phosphate, pyruvate, and antioxidant levels in rats with lesions caused by 5 gray units (Gy) of high-energy radiation. Full-body exposure to 5 Gy or more typically leads to death within 14 days, but Spirulina helped to prevent this (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10907410).
A 2001 study conducted by researchers from the Medical and Pharmaceutical Academe of Yangzhou University in China found that Spirulina extracts effectively protect against both the damage caused by chemotherapy drugs and the damaging effects of gamma radiation exposure (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11749812).
Those negatively affected by high levels of radiation after working on cleanup efforts following the 1986 Chernobyl disaster experienced improvements in the autoregulatory functionality of their bodily organs and other systems, as well as long-term remission from overall radiation damage, after being treated with a regimen that included Spirulina (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10921251).

Melatonin
The protective effects of melatonin against oxidative stress caused by ionizing radiation have been documented in in vitro and in vivo studies in different species and in in vitro experiments that used human tissues, as well as when melatonin was given to humans and then tissues collected and subjected to ionizing radiation. The radioprotective effects of melatonin against cellular damage caused by oxidative stress and its low toxicity make this molecule a potential supplement in the treatment or co-treatment in situations where the effects of ionizing radiation are to be minimized.
(yes I know melatonin is not exactly a herb)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10998194
Also useful are Cilantro, Miso and Chlorella.
Even if you are not worried about Fukushima radiation, there are many other sources of harmful radiation in daily life, and these supplements are cheap, affordable, safe and healthy.

Had my Spirulina this morning, and a Cilantro and Parsley salad for lunch.
Thanks for looking out for us Moonshoe!

Not one person has been seriously injured by fukushima radiation, and it's not likely that very many people will. Probably no one from this site will ever have to worry about it.

I doubt cilantro is going to keep your family healthy, but whatever makes you feel better, I suppose.

It may or may not get canceled out by the carne asada and alcohol.
So Moonshoe, how toxic do you think the mushrooms I plan on picking on the California coast this fall will be?

They will be as toxic as they would have without fukushima. The fear-mongering is all lies.

You just inspired me to go in the front yard and snap off some rosemary sprigs and make tea!! never done it before. it is delicious!! I took a 7 inch long piece of rosemary and 1 1/2 cup of water and brought it to a boil and added the rosemary and steeped it for 5min and added a spoon of sugar and bamm it's a nice mid day tea ad I'm fighting radiation thanks op!!

Yes I love rosemary tea ! It's probably my favourite tea other than green tea. I try to drink a cup a day .

Lead isn't an herb but it will protect you from radiation.
