Xenon-54 & Xenon 133

Apparently, Xenon is an inert gas. Here is a 5 minute video on the substance. Now bear in mind, they are talking about regular old Xenon not radioactive Xenon.
The Mineral Xenon



Interestingly enough this website states, "There are no xenon-bearing minerals. It is obtained from liquefying air." More Xenon info





Dr. Ryan Drum has a nice synopsis of the dangers of Iodine-131

While I don't agree with his evolutionary bias, he does reiterate a fact that I have been trying to drive home for years...

"Are animals at risk for Iodine 131 uptake and subsequent radiation damage? Yes and no. Amazingly, animals can detect the atomic weight differences between the lighter stable Iodine 127 and the heavier unstable Iodine131. But, this is apparently the only detectable difference between the two iodine forms. Because of their innate iodine conservation mechanisms, iodine-dependent animals will readily take up radioactive, heavier Iodine 131 if they are deficient in Iodine 127. The Iodine 131 is placed in molecules, cells and tissues where iodine is needed, just as if it were Iodine127. The safety factor is: ANIMALS WITH COMPLETE BODY
COMPLEMENT OF IODINE127 TEND TO NOT TAKE IN RADIOACTIVE IODINE131."

Whether or not an animal can detect the difference between Iodine 127 and Iodine-131 is questionable, but he is right on the money when he states that, "ANIMALS WITH COMPLETE BODY COMPLEMENT OF IODINE127 TEND TO NOT TAKE IN RADIOACTIVE IODINE131."

So, we are back to where we started.

And that is, if your cells are saturated with enough iodine, then it will block the absorption of radioactive iodine. Hence my constant harping on kelp.

Under the subheading of Real Hazards of Iodine-131 Exposure, Dr Drum states,

"Everyone and everything everywhere is dusted continually with small amounts of Iodine131. This unstable isotope has an 8-day half-life. It decays to Xenon54 with the concurrent release of a high-energy Beta particle and high energy gamma radiation with each atomic decay."

Now we have the issue of exactly how "hot" are the decaying particles of radioactive Xenon?

Don't Know Much About Xenon-133...

I don't know much about Xenon-133, but, apparently, it is used as a diagnostic tool for nuclear imaging. I can't seem to find a whole lot of information on it.

I found a page on this clinical  pharmacology website. Clinical Pharmacology 

On the website they report that, "Xenon Xe 133 is a readily diffusible gas which is neither utilized nor produced by the body. It passes through cell membranes, freely exchanges between blood and tissue, and tends to concentrate more in body fat than in blood, plasma, water or protein solutions.."


And I found this PDF document on how to manage it in certain clinical scenarios.
Pharmacological PDF Document

It has a has a half life of 5.27 days. So, it must be really "hot" when it decays, since the half life is so short. It will take a little over a month for it to totally decay, but the problem is that Fukushima keeps churning out massive quantities of it so who knows when it will be safe to breath the air again?

To keep updated and calculate your risk of exposure, please go to the Norwegian Institute of Air Research's website. God bless the people over at NIAR!

 I haven't found anything about which minerals will block the absorption of Xenon-133 yet. I'll dig around and see what I can find.

Free Radiation Detox Tips

I stumbled upon this free ebook that gives a lot of practical tips on how to detox your body when you have been exposed to excessive amounts of radiation.


Radiation Detox

Although the issue of Fukushima hasn't been addressed, the content is valid and the sources are solid.

Calculate Your Risk of Exposure

 
All radiation is cumulative.

The more radioactive isotopes you are exposed to, the more accumulates in your body. The best way to block radioactive isotope uptake is to eat a diet rich in minerals. 

If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, then please check out these links to the Norwegian Institute of Air Research to calculate your risk of exposure.

In the meantime, eat low on the food chain, like a sensible Daniel fasting diet and stay away from things like, leafy vegetables, dairy products and beef, for now, at least until this Fukushima disaster is under control.

Guidelines for Observing the Daniel Fast

The Daniel fast is pretty straight forward, the glitch comes in making tasty appealing recipes that your family will enjoy. Your first step is to get a grasp of what is and isn't acceptable on the Daniel fast. Here is Elmer L.Towns Suggested Guidelines for the Daniel Fast. 

Also, I found an audio reading of Elmer L. Town's Fasting for Spiritual Break Through.

Inexpensive Ways to Monitor Your Exposure to Radiation

Unlike Chernobyl, Fukushima continues to spew out wave after wave of radioactive contamination. Thus, putting down layer after layer of radioactive isotopes all over the northern hemisphere.

My immediate suggestion is to invest in a radiation detection map at Black Cat Systems. although this app isn't exactly 100% reliable (it depends on its readings from individuals) it's better than nothing. At least, that's the best I can come up with for now (unless you personally invest in some sort of radioactive monitoring device - if you do please contact me.) 

Also, another inexpensive way to monitor you radiation exposure it pick up a pack of RADstickers.

Personally, I'm taking my ionic minerals (like I always do) and I'm praying for the people of Japan.
