From Chernobyl (1986) studies the milk and mushrooms are bioaccumulators so they tend to collect the radioactive materials and posing the higher danger. The I-131 affects women more then men (the women exposed to I-131 are 4 times more likely then men to develop thyroid nodules later in life; about 90% of I-131 tends to collect in the thyroid and the rest goes to ovary and breast tissue). Injestion of 500 millicuries of I-131 acts at cellular level, “burning the cells” and converting them to the dead tissue (used for thyroid ablation for grave’s disease toxic goiter and cancer; the KI tablets can help here), on the other hand low doses ingested on regular bases are acting on molecular levels damaging acids present in the nucleus of the thyroid cells, causing atypical cells, nodules and cancer. It is impossible to take KI in high doses for 70 days (like wearing a gas mask for more then 4 hours!)<br />However there are easy steps can help to prevent radiation poisoning from long term low dose exposure for the risk groups:<br />Installation of the chlorine removal (activated carbon) filter on your water drinking system will trap I-131(the neutral atoms of I-131 poorly dissolving in water, unlike ions found in sodium and potassium iodides); the iodine molecules are larger then chlorine molecules so the filter can trap them.<br />Milk can be processed into the cottage cheese and stored for several weeks; this will reduce I-131 activity levels in that product due to decay.<br />As most iodine falls down during the rain, have your kids stay indoors especially right after rain when the water near ground is evaporates (this vapor has high concentration of I-131). Control the dust (it is full of cesium).<br />Taking these easy steps now can avoid someone you know to grow up a “madam’s apple” (thyroid nodule) later or end up with “neck smile” surgery scar and lifelong dependency on the hormone tabletsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056599210263969567.post-49305352138987031642011-12-12T18:43:27.518+09:002011-12-12T18:43:27.518+09:00Anne, Thank you for your very informative blog.
I...Anne, Thank you for your very informative blog.<br /><br />It seems like good news, but one found irregularities in the thyroid glands of children from Fukushima evacuated in Nagano (news by Kyodo on October 4).<br />Did the expert talked about it?<br /><br />Some children will probably have thyroid problems anyway.Jeremienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056599210263969567.post-19958180795011431342011-12-06T12:34:45.543+09:002011-12-06T12:34:45.543+09:00I have been taking bovine thyroid supplements for...I have been taking <a href="http://www.nutri-meds.com/" rel="nofollow">bovine thyroid supplements</a> for over a year.
