If such an event does occur what can you do to protect yourself and your family?Historically, after the atom bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during 1945, many survivors of the blast died of exposure to radioactive fallout. But the vast majority of Dr. Tatsuichiro Akizuki, the Director of the Department of Internal Medicine at St. Francis’s Hospital in Nagasaki, survived. Despite being less than a mile from the epicenter of the atomic explosion, the doctor, his staff and his patients avoided radiation sickness by consuming a simple diet of natural brown rice, miso soup, sea vegetables and salt. Akizuki strictly prohibited the consumption of any sugar-based foods and candy. ¹
Whole grains fight radiation poisoning
Because natural whole grains are simple foods they don’t have concentrated contaminants often present in meat and fleshy fish. They’re less likely to contain radioactive contamination too.
High fiber and phosphorous contents in grain help protect against radiation poisoning. The substances bind with toxins—including radioactive ones—and help eliminate them from the body. Plus the “bulking factor” of grains reduces the time that the toxins stay in the gut and eliminate the poison faster.
