Since karmically the other two bad energy systems that Obama supports seem to be rebelling against his support for them (Offshore oil and Coal mining) we should be prepared in the event bad things come in threes.

Nuclear Reactors COULD go down at any time and could do major releases (beyind their already deadly daily releases of cancer-causing highly deadly man made radiation (which is uhnlike the radiaition from coal burning or natural background in that it is far deadlier in its effects)

Dirty Bombs are also a major concern.

But in any event be prepared.

Calcium, tincture of iodine and other things can help during regular exposure to nuke plant emissions as well as a major or even minor emergency/

Obama is supporting NEW nuke plants subsidies to the tune of 50+ BILLION Dollars for BIG ENERGY (like Halliburton, Bechtel, GE, Westinghouse and Exxon). This DESPITE his avowed determination to reduce nuclear risks and threats. On this issue he is wearing blinders for political reasons. He is in major and dangerous denial about the radiation exposure risks just as he has been in denial about the mistakes idiocy with offshore drilling and coal mining.

Sooner or later there will ber another accident or attack or just human error fuckup.

And we should be prepared.

No Nukes, Mr. President!

It is not worth the safety and health of ANY more human beings, especially the children, to satiate the greed of International Corporate Fascism.

Remember the admonition against harming the little children

and act accordingly.

Experts agree that radioactive iodine and cesium, commonly used in cancer therapy and industrial radiography, are the most likely ingredients of a dirty bomb. How to minimize the damage? Start by wearing a mask--the thicker, the better. Then pop these chemical cures.

POTASSIUM IODIDE The thyroid is the only organ that collects iodine, so strike first. "Each thyroid cell is a parking lot with a specific number of spaces," explains Andrew Karam, Ph.D., a founding member of the Health Physics Society's Homeland Security Committee who, while in the navy's nuclear-power program, was contaminated 30 times. "If you put stable iodine in there first, you block the radioactive stuff." Potassium iodide is available online at KI4U.com. Take up to 130 milligrams (mg) as soon as you can after the blast." (Schipper, D., 2005)


Vitamins and homeopathic treatments:

Curry has been known to reduce the effects of radiation in chemotherapy patients. "The study showed that curcumin, the substance in turmeric that gives it and the dishes it flavors a characteristic yellow color, is a natural anti-inflammatory compound." WebMD
Swab the skin with a tincture of iodine...the effective dose in rats suggests human skin swabbing need only cover an area the size of a hand or scraped knee"
