Radioactive Minerals Mimic Real Minerals


Radioactive Isotopes Mimic Real Minerals
Calcium
Strontium-90
Iodine
Iodine-131
Iron
Plutonium-238, Plutonium-239
Potassium
Cesium-137
Sulfur
Sulfur-35
Zinc
Zinc-65
B12
Cobalt-60

Here is a partial list of the radioactive isotopes and the minerals they mimic. As you can see, these are all essential minerals and nutrients that we need in order to survive. As the popular media calls for an end to global warming amidst the growing demand for "clean" energy, the public is still at risk because of outdated nuclear power plants. (I ask you this - is global warming really going to be an issue if we are all suffering from some sort of disease casued by the cumulative effects of low level radiation?

If nuclear power plants have a long history of acting like good corporate citizens, then I for one would not look upon them with such a jaundice eye, but truth be told, it is exactly the opposite. . Nuclear power plants have a track history of, well, ahem, quite frankly acting like corporate deviants.

The Law of Selective Uptake


The law of selective uptake in a nutshell is this: radioactive elements act just like their non-radioactive counterparts. When cells are saturated with the minerals and vital nutrients they need in order to function properly, the possibility that a radioactive mineral or nutrient will
move in to take its place is seriously minimized. 
If our diets are lacking the minerals and vital nutrients necessary to block the absorption of these radioactive imposters then the law of selective uptake goes into effect.

How do we become contaminated by radioactive isotopes?


According to the CDC, radiation exposure can happen when radioactive materials are released into the environment. 

Radiation exposure can occur during a nuclear power plant disaster, like during the infamous 3 Mile Island incident. It can happen during an atomic blast from a nuclear bomb, such was the case with Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 

It can occur when nuclear warheads are detonated.  

It can happen where radioactive materials are released from nuclear medical devices, like the nuclear medical equipment that is used to treat cancer.  

It can happen in facilities that use irradiation as a means of sterilizing medical equipment.  

It can happen at facilities that use industrial technology of a military nature, such is the case with weapons manufacturing and military research facilities. 

It can happen on your local university campuses where the students and faculty are conducting experimental research on biological organisms.  

It can happen when accidents occur during the shipment of nuclear waste on our nation’s highways and railroads. 

It has definitely happened when nuclear weapons testing released radioactive particles into the atmosphere which are then blown around the earth carried by high level winds and ultimately landing somewhere where no one has to take responsibility for it because radiation can’t be detected with your 5 senses. 

It has definitely happened in the case of nuclear bomb testing out in Nevada where it harmed the populations downwind.  

It can happen when dirty bombs are detonated and people come into contact with the radioactive particles that are released following the blast.

It can happen at industrial facilities that use radioactive waste to expose food and beverage containers, like Vindicators in Mulberry, Florida which exposes the containers to radioactive waste in order to "sterilize" the containers.

It can occur in industrial facilities that irradiate food for the purposes of shelf life extension. These facilities lease radioactive waste from the Department of Energy and then use it to irradiate food and spices (more on this later).

Minerals are the key to blocking radioactive isotope uptake.


Minerals are the key to blocking radioactive isotope uptake. That means the more your extracellular matrix (the water between your cells) is saturated with minerals the less likely your cells will be mineral starved and less likely to absorb the radioactive isotopes that mimic specific minerals. For instance, Strontium-90 mimics calcium. If you have a calcium deficiency, your body will absorb the Strontium-90 in lieu of calcium. Cesium-137 mimics potassium.  If your extracellular matrix is potassium deficient it will absorb cesium-137 instead. Cobalt-60 is the most plentiful radioactive waste in existence today. Colbalt-60 is what they use to irradiate food. They also use it to “sterilize” our beverage containers – like the plastic jugs that hold our orange juice, milk and other beverages - at least that’s what they use at Vindicators in Mulberry, Florida.  Cobalt-60 mimics vitamin B12. In light of this fact, we need to be sure that our extra cellular matrix is saturated with B12. Technically, B12 isn't a mineral, but you get the point. If our extra cellular matrix is saturated with minerals and vitamins such as B12 then our bodies are less likely to absorb radioactive isotopes.

Dirty Bombs Anyone?


According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) dirty bombs are a mix of radioactive powder or pellets combined with explosives. Dirty bombs cannot create an atomic blast. Instead they will create an explosion. This explosion causes radioactive debris to scatter in to the immediate area and become airborne, thereby contaminating everything it touches.  The dangers from dirty bombs are twofold. The initial blast may cause death or injury. Additionally, if you are nearby the blast or downwind from the blast you may become internally contaminated by inhaling the radioactive particulates that are released into the air. Inhaling radioactive particulates can cause serious health problems that may manifest over time. There are multiple issues that may arise from inhaling radioactive particles. Since you cannot feel, see, smell or taste radiation (although one very reliable source reported driving through the radioactive cloud released by 3 mile island said she experienced a metallic taste in her mouth) you may not realize that you have been exposed to radiation and consequently contaminated.
