These 3 Supplements Could Protect You From the
Effects of Radiation

In November 2006, Alexander Litvinenko, a former
KGB operative, sat down for tea at the Pine Bar
at the Millennium Hotel in London. He immediately
fell ill. For the next 22 days his body
disintegrated before the eyes of his friends and
family. A photo released to the public shortly
before his death showed the 44-year-old in a
decrepit state. He had aged a lifetime in two
weeks.

Litvinenkos tea was poisoned with Polonium 210
and he died of acute radiation syndromeessentiall
y a rapid age accelerator of DNAand a collection
of health effects caused by exposure to ionizing
radiation. Litvinenkos story has become one of
the most well known cases of assassination via a
radioactive substance, but international spies
arent the only ones in danger of radiation
related illnesses. Whether it comes from North
Korea, power plants or simply the sun, everyone
is now facing the threat of accelerated aging and
thyroid cancer via exposure to radiation.
Luckily, there are preventative measures we all
could and should be taking. Over the last four
decades, Ive studied the effects of radiation on
human health and emergency preparedness. My work
is endorsed by New York governors George Pataki
and David Paterson, as well as U.S. military
generals and Irwin Redlener, the director of the
National Center for Disaster Preparedness at
Columbia Universitys The Earth Institute. Our
research proves that the health effects of
radiation do not have to be as catastrophic.

As the World Health Organization and the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) have
reported, the only observable health effect on
the general public from the Chernobyl nuclear
accident was epidemic levels of thyroid damage,
including more than 6000 cases of thyroid
cancer.  Other cancers, including leukemia and
birth abnormalities, were not seen. The great
thing is there are safe, effective, and
inexpensive measures to protect the thyroid from
radiation induced effects due to nuclear power
plants or nuclear weapons. This consists of
small doses of three different supplements,
potassium iodide (KI), cesium and strontium
that have been tested and proven to strengthen
the human body against radiation. They work by
blocking the thyroid from absorbing the
radioactive fallout that harms it. We know they
workthose who received KI after the Chernobyl
disaster were protected. Ive recently partnered
with distinguished West Point graduate Major
General Bernard Loeffke and endocrinologist James
Hurley, Professor Emeritus of Weill Cornell, to
recommend to the U.S. governments Office of
Science and Technology that KI be distributed
within 50 miles radius of nuclear power plants.

As a nation we need a significant public
awareness campaign regarding the health risks of
nuclear exposure, to inform the public about the
efficacy and distribution of these valuable
elements that can save lives. Not only can they
save the body from the harmful effects of
radiation but they also strengthen your body and
mind. These treatments are inexpensive and easy
to get. The time for dragging our feet is
over. Dr. Braverman is a prolific author and

foremost expert in anti-aging, longevity and
brain health, and how brain health relates to
full-body health.
