Protective Strategies - Cesium 137 (Radiation Education)

Natural Cesium 137 Protective Strategies

By the time this is published, we will know much more about how much radiation has been released from the Japanese reactors and where it has drifted. My email box is filled with messages either asking or suggesting ways to prepare and deal with radio-active fallout. At my chiropractic appointment yesterday, I was advised in increase my iodine intake and offered iodine tablets. It was incredible that he was willing to part with them, since they have become a famously scarce commodity in the marketplace. To say the least, this health threat is one that has grabbed our collective attention.

I was compelled to do some research in order to understand the issue and formulate a plan. First let’s define the problem. The kind of radiation that will be drifting our West Coast way is called Cesium-137. All of the radio-active isotopes work in the body by bonding with a mineral/metal receptor site. This one does NOT bond with the iodine receptors and disrupt the thyroid function. Instead, it docks on the potassium receptors and affects primarily the muscles. In addition to blocking the potassium receptors, it emits gamma rays that act as powerful oxidizers that mutate DNA in ways that can become cancerous. The way it gets into our system is through our breath and our food. Since it is neutralized by water, we don’t generally get it in our water supply.

Working from that overly simplified description, here are the things that I have found are recommended by such sites as Mayo Clinic, Argonne National Laboratories and a large number of natural health sites. I am indebted to Ingrid Naiman’s newsletter (ingridnaiman.com/subscription_lists) and the Healing Cancer Naturally organization (www.naturopathichealth.net ) for their excellent research and analysis. They had carefully thought out and comprehensive strategies to protect your health..

In Support of the Three Bodies

In Support of The Three Bodies to Stay Healthy During The School Year


This presentation was given to the future teachers of Waldorf education and is a blending of Anthroposophy and modern nutrition.

In these modern times, it is a challenge to stay healthy throughout the year, especially in a classroom. With new and stronger viruses and bacterial infections it is imperative to protect yourself during the school year. It is my goal with this paper and presentation to give you, the future teachers and parents, some wisdom regarding strengthening of the three bodies to help you, your families, and students stay well to learn all of the valuable information you have to teach. The approaches I am giving you are founded in Steiner’s teachings and are methods I have used with the many families I serve everyday as a nutritionist and healer.

I will begin by grasping the magnificence of the human body through a discussion of the three bodies, Physical aka Willing, Etheric aka Feeling, and Astral aka Thinking. As we grow we fully develop all three of these bodies until we have fully expressed their union which happens around the age of 21. Up until that time the Physical, Etheric, and Astral are still forming. The Physical we are born with and hopefully our parents were practicing healthy habits to ensure the most capable physical body for us. The Etheric forms when the physical and astral bodies begin to merge. The etheric body is fully incarnated by the age of 7. The astral body is the merging of the physical with the higher self. This fully incarnates at the age of 21.
