Nuclear Attack and Radiation Sickness

The possibility of a nuclear attack by terrorists has become a real possibility in recent years. Terror groups have been able to secure suitcase sized nukes that have gone missing from the former Soviet Union. They can use a dirty bomb which only requires radioactive material, which is used in large amounts in hospitals, plus a small amount of explosives. This combination of materials can inject large amounts of radiation into the winds to spread radiation to a unprepared populace.

The number of rogue nations possessing nuclear tipped missiles capable of reaching the United States is growing thanks to the support of Russia and China. Recent tests by Iran and North Korea show their technology curve is advancing faster than expected. This gives them the ability to unleash atomic weapons in almost any part of the world.

At present the arsenals of nuclear weapons these nations have is not large, however any use will cause major problems and have serious consequences. A counterattack will probably ensue escalating hostilities which could engulf the entire world in a war.

A nuclear attack unleashes a silent killer that spreads a more deadly threat; Radiation. When a nuclear device is detonated, building material and dirt are sucked into the burst of radioactive energy and is irradiated becoming fallout. The radioactive fallout is scattered in all directions and carried on the wind for many hundreds of miles to breathed by those unaffected by the initial blast. The fallout has the potential to do more damage then thermal blast. This is why dirty bombs are considered extremely dangerous.

A terrorist attack depends on heavy civilian casualties via radiation sickness. This sickness can kill hours, days, weeks, months and even years after an attack. No one knows the full impact these attacks will have since a large scale nuclear incident has yet occur. We need to be prepare, to combat the effects of radiation sickness.

A little known fact, many conventional weapons fielded by many modern artilleries are now using depleted Uranium 235 for density in their ammunition. This ammunition is used abundantly by an invasion force. While blowing things up, the dust and building materials are being pulverized becoming irradiated also. Battlefields are becoming radioactive hazardous areas and the dust kicked up gets in the wind exposing the civilian population to radiation.

Another target for terrorist will be nuclear power plants. Many may remember the Russian power plant, Chernobyl. The plant went critical and the core melted down and irradiated the water and air supply. Many thousands died from radiation sickness over many years.

Radiation sickness occurs when a person is exposed to an excessive amount of radiation Symptoms occur due to exposure to ionizing radiation such as gamma or x-rays.

Symptoms appear in an orderly fashion and can begin to occur within and hour from heavy doses or up to a week after exposure. Exposure can come in two ways: very large concentrated doses (acute) or over prolonged exposure (chronic). Chronic exposure begins to manifest in the form of cancer, premature aging and birth defects on offspring.

The medical industry uses, roentgens, to measure the exposure to radiation from gamma rays and x-rays. The amount of radiation the body is exposed to begins to build up and at about 100 roentgens, radiation sickness will occur. At about 400 roentgens death occurs in about half of the people exposed and if not medical attention is received the person will die in 30 days or less.

At 100,000 roentgens, unconscious will occur and death will ensue.

It is impossible to determine the amount of exposure to radiation when an incident occurs. However the best way to gauge the severity of the exposure is the length of time between the exposure and the onset of symptoms, the severity of symptoms, and severity of changes in white blood cells. If vomiting occurs an hour after the exposure, the person has received a lethal dose.

Dr. David Stewart says regarding chemotherapy radiation about the white blood cells:
“Use lots of Cypress (Essential) Oil. It builds blood corpuscles, especially the white cells. Apply it on the skin, breathe it and take capsules of it. It will accelerate the rebuilding of your immune system after chemo has destroyed it. The doctors will be amazed at the speed of recovery from chemo when Cypress Oil is used like this.”

Symptoms of Radiation sickness are:

1 Nausea or Vomiting
2 Bleeding from the nose, mouth, gums, and rectum
3 Bloody stool
4 Bruising
5 Dehydration
6 Diarrhea
7 Fainting
8 Fatigue
9 Hair loss
10 Inflammation of exposed areas (redness, tenderness, swelling, bleeding)
11 Mouth ulcers
12 Open sores on the skin
13 Skin burns (redness, blistering)
14 Sloughing of skin
15 Ulcers in the esophagus, stomach or intestines
16 Vomiting Blood
17 Weakness

You may be the only one available to provide first aid to a victim of radiation sickness and there are a few guidelines you should follow.

Care for the victim if you have protective gear to keep from becoming contaminated.

1. Check the person's breathing and pulse.
2. Administer CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) if necessary.
3. Remove the person’s contaminated clothing. Seal it in a bag and dispose of it to abate any further contamination.
4. Vigorously wash body with soap and water.
5. Dry the body and wrap with soft, clean blanket.
6. If possible, call for emergency medical help and take the person to nearest hospital.
7. REPORT EXPOSURE TO EMERGENCY OFFICIALS.

Recommendations for treatment

If emergency medical facilities are not available for treatment use the Nuke-Ess Essential oil blend available in the ORIGINAL BUG OUT BOX, to help ease the symptoms of the radiation sickness. This blend will help with the repopulation of destroyed white blood cells with Cypress and ease the effects of sickness with Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca). Lavender helps with the radiation burns and Myrtle to help with the thyroid.

In the event of an imminent Nuclear attack one must be prepared for the immediate problems that will ensue. Large amounts of radiation attack the Thyroid gland and dump large amount of iodine to protect the thyroid. However there is a way to protect the thyroid by using Potassium Iodide (KI) to block the thyroid. These tablets are available on many websites and every family should have a 14 day supply.

BOB A Friend In Time Of Disaster

BOB A Friend In Time Of Disaster

In the event of a disaster, a BOB (Bug Out Box) may be your best friend.

It’s the time of year when everyone in Florida becomes a weatherman. From June 1st to December 1st more attention is given to the tropical updates on the Weather Channel. When a hurricane approaches the peninsula, Floridians become weather junkies especially if your city is in projected path or cone of probability.

Events around the world are changing like the weather. The political climate is heating up, a Nuclear, Biological or Chemical (NBC) attack from a rogue nation could trigger a third world war. Daily we live with the threat of the icy hand of a terrorist reaching out any where on the globe with a suitcase nuclear device or a dirty bomb. It is wise to be prepared at all times.

If it is determined a disaster may be imminent, nervous preparations are begun to protect ones family and possessions. When word comes an event may hit ones locale and evacuation is ordered, the scramble begins. In the midst of the angst and last few minutes before leaving, basic necessities can be forgotten. That’s where a Bug Out Box comes in.

A Bug Out Box is a waterproof box with basic survival gear inside. It can be prepared months in advance and is ready to go if a disaster occurs. Some things found in the Bug Out Box are first aid items, medicines, water purification, food, matches, rain gear and blankets. Pretty basic stuff and ordinary, but when are unavailable, become very valuable.

If a large scale evacuation should occur the time saved by throwing your Bug Out Box in the car and leaving quickly, could save your life. It might be a good idea to keep a pared down Bug Out Box in the car at all times in case of an emergency.

Several years ago, I was stranded on the side of the road for many hours trying to fix my car in extreme heat. I had a Bug Out Box in the back of the car with emergency water pouches. So I knocked down a couple of bags of water and was good to go.

Another term used for BOB is the Bug Out Bag. This is usually a backpack that contains survival items and can be carried if transportation becomes unavailable.

Carry in your Bug Out Box at least a 72 hour supply of food and water for all of your family. You may be on your own for at least three days or longer. Hurricane Katrina showed how long it takes for emergency crews to fully mobilize. Meals Ready to Eat (MRE) are good idea to carry with you. The Marines and Army use these for field rations. These can be heavy. Another good idea is the Mainstay Energy bar which are lighter but have what you need nutritionally to survive.

The following is a description of a Mainstay Energy Bar:

5 year Shelf Life Non-Thirst Provoking Withstands Temperatures of -40° F to 300°F (-40°C to 149°C) Ready to Eat: Each package contains 3 pre-measured 400 calorie meals. Individualized portions eliminate the messy breaking-up that occurs with other bars Allows for on-land emergency consumption in a high-stress active situation. Contains no cholesterol or tropical oils. Meets the US Coast Guard standards (160.046/23/0). It's new modern packaging even meets the stringent guidelines set by the Department of Defense (SOLAS 74/83). Enriched with vitamins and minerals exceeding the RDA requirements. Pleasant lemon flavor which appeals to everyone.

Warmth is another hot topic to cover. Emergency blankets are compact and can fit nicely in any Bug Out Box.

Fire is very important and must be considered for cooking and staying warm even in tropical environments. Matches are a good idea and should be waterproof. A fire-starter kit is an even better idea. Here are three good suggestions: flint and steel, Magnesium block or H-25 Strike Master Fire Starter. A combination of the Magnesium and Strike Master is the best matchless fire starter. Carry them all and you’ll have a roaring fire in minutes.

Into every life must come a little rain and if you’re outside during a rain storm unprotected, it can be miserable. Rain ponchos are a must have. It will keep you dry and you will protect valuable body heat. Your clothes will stay dry and you’ll stay healthier.

A First Aid Kit is a must. Injuries must be treated quickly and dressed properly to keep infection away. Pain control and fever reducers are good to have on hand. Use sparingly because relief from a disaster may not come quickly.

Essential Oils are a great thing to carry in a Bug Out Box because they can be used in simple first aid and treat other sicknesses that might occur because of an extended survival situation. Essential Oils have been proven in clinical studies to aid with the getting rid of bacteria’s and viruses. They also can help aid the symptoms of a Nuclear, Biological or Chemical attack.

This is only a few items that should be in a Bug Out Box and one can be tailored for the unique needs of your family. Take the time and put one together because those who count on you will be most grateful if a disaster happens.

When an attack occurs the fallout or radiation from a power plant contains radionuclides are released and have a byproduct called radioactive iodine (I-131). The body is bombarded with this iodine and is stored in the thyroid gland which can cause thyroid cancer. Potassium Iodide (KI) can protect the thyroid from radioactive iodine by acting as a blocker. These tablets are available on many websites and every family should have a 14 day supply for each person. It proved to be most effective in the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant incident in 1986.
