A Fukupped Situation



Oy.

What a mess. Where to begin, what to believe, how to deny and why is my bracket filled with so many red lines? While our country's response to the looming radiation disaster is to murder innocent Libyans and distract the news I personally am not ready to instantaneously forget about what's happening in Japan.

So let's get right to it cuz I got a lot of info below. I won't dilly dally on the speculation of all that is going on right now. I'm gonna get into what my approach is going to be in preparing myself for the possibility of harmful radiation hitting LA in the upcoming week or so.

I realize there's all kinds of reports and disinformation coming at you and filtering through it to find the truth can be daunting if you're not up for hunkering down to locate the atomic core of what is really happening. But let's just boil this down to the simple bullet points:

I know for a fact that a radiation plume from Japan has already reached Los Angeles and has passed over the United States and is making its way to the eastern shores of Canada. While this plume has been completely harmless and contained negligible doses of radiation the fact remains that the initial explosion from the plant due to the Tsunami and Earthquake spewed particles that eventually made it over to my city.

I know that there have been numerous explosions from other reactors at Fukishima that have been reported and that they too have most certainly spewed particles into the air. I know for a fact that at some point there were fires at the reactors that were spewing smoke and particles into the air. I know for a fact that there was a fire today at one of the reactors that caused workers to leave. I'm not going to try and figure out how much or which report is lying to me or telling me the truth.

I know that if the spent fuel rods are not cooled they will explode and we will have ourselves a major radioactive meltdown with ramifications that could affect the entire planet and generations to come. But that's still a major major if at this point so...

I'm just going to make a simple logical deduction:

If the initial blast made its way to Los Angeles after a week then the subsequent blasts that have already taken place will also make their way over here. Will the icky stuff from those blasts also be harmless? Possibly yes. Possibly no. It's not for me to wonder how but to be prepared in case they are.

I am not a physician, let's get that outta the way in case you were somehow deluded into thinking that being a Verbal Warrior includes moonlighting with a white-coat at buildings of death and misdiagnosis called hospitals. I am vigilant about my health and diet and have been for quite some time. I'm keyed into all kinds of information and amazing people who have guided me and hipped me to modalities and ways of being that has made my life abundantly richer.

I'm only putting this out there to give people ideas for options or protocols that sound like it could be something that might work for them. Your body and your current health situation is waay different than mine, not better or worse, just different; I'm 5'6", a buck twenty two wet with a high metabolism and a small appetite, do the math.

What I've done is do what I do best, scour the net and my personal sources for information and recommendations regarding ways to protect yourself from radiation and then shaken them together to see what pops out at me. I've taken all of them into consideration and chosen the ones below as ones that makes the most sense for me and my comfort level at this stage in the game.

Aite, enough of the informal disclaimer, here's how I'm going to be dealing with this Fukufukup situation:

1. Himalayan Sea Salts - I've already had a bag of these salts on hand that I've used to make what's called a 'sole' for myself the moment that I wake up. It's an amazing way to start the day and help your body 'charge' itself with positive ions and minerals. To make the solution I take the raw 'rock' form of the salt and place them in a small glass container of water. I then let them sit for a day or two so that they saturate the water making a solution. I then take a glass of water in the morning and put a teaspoon or two of the solution in it and chug it down. You can get good Himalayan Salt at their site or any other source you want, it's gonna run you about $30. I also would think about getting your hand on Sea Salt for baths as well as it's a powerful way to cleanse and detox your system from possible radioactive particles. Mountain Rose Herbs sells a pound of Dead Sea Salts for 5 bucks, that's as cheap as you're gonna get for premium results. I'm sure you can find pricier options that boast all kinds of life changing effects including the ability to use your irises to laser-zap idiots and slow-pokes off the road during rush hour traffic so feel free to pay through the nose if it makes you feel better.

Oh yeah, another great way to start your morning on a detox level is to boil some hot water and then slice off half of an organic lemon and let that steep for several minutes before drinking. Easy, cheap and great for cleansing your system.

2. Ginseng & Bladderwrack - I know there's lots of herbs out there that one can take to boost the immune system and all but I'm not screwing around and am going for the numero uno bad-ass in my book and that's Ashwagandha Ginseng. I'm gonna look for an American Based producer of the root that's alcohol free and wildcrafted and take about 3 dropper-fulls of that a day. I like Nature's Answer products and you can find that online for literally $10-15 if you search properly. I know that you can pay an arm and a leg for good reliable Ginseng and I'm sure there are more potent blends out there but as long as I trust the source I don't feel it's necessary to dole out fifty plus bucks for an ounce of good ginseng simply because I don't think there's such a huge drop off in its efficacy from one brand to the next; again this is as long as you feel your source is pure. I also am gonna add Bladderwrack to my protocol because it's gonna boost my thyroid and for me personally it also has sensational qualities for my health in general. You can find that really cheap online as well and I'm gonna blast a dropper-full of that in my system right after the 'Sole' in the morning.

3. Nascent Iodine - Okay, now I know everyone's all freaked out and going nutty about Iodine and Pottasium Iodide tablets. Every Rite-Aid and Drugstore is being raped of the stuff and most of the online outlet's stocks are bone dry. I don't feel this is intensely necessary at this point. For example, if you happened to get your hands on Potassium Iodide tabs you're not supposed to be taking those until the radiation is at hand, they're highly dangerous and could have severe side-effects on you depending on your health. I would highly recommend consulting with your doctor on that one so that he or she can tell you to wait until Big Pharma takes their hand out of their ass, wipes it on their coat and works on an iodine product that will have a commercial consisting of wacky non-threatening humans with whitened teeth smiling at you in a field; I put my money on Iodyzlaxyzzin as a possible name.

Anyway, from what I can tell the Nascent Iodine is the best way to slowly boost your thyroid without overwhelming your system. You can find bottles of the stuff online for $25-35 and just taking one single drop of it and slowing working your way up to 3 or 6 is more than enough at this stage of the game. Apparently 95% of the country is Iodine deficient so radiation or not it's a powerful way to boost your shield (thyroid gland) as well as your energy levels. Now should you not wanna go the Iodine route you have alternatives such as....

4. Seaweed! - This stuff is way cheap. You can find this at Whole Foods or any Asian Supermarket and just horde pounds of this stuff. Algae is immensely nutritious, has loads of natural iodine in it and you can just start eating this stuff daily. If you want to be even cheaper about it do what I did: Get Kelp powder. You can find Organic Kelp Powder in stores or online for close to nothing! I got a 1lb bag of Kelp powder for three frikkin dollars, that's less than the price of a comic book. I like doing Comic Book economics as in: I can take this babe out to dinner and look forward to a smooch on the cheek and weeks on end of texting and lonely wank sessions or...I could buy 25 comic books. Hmm...yeah I opt for a trip to Meltdown Comics on Sunset or staying home and doing this :) Anyway, I take a tablespoon of Kelp powder a day and if necessary will work my way up to three tablespoons.

5. Chlorella - A super powerful food to aid heavy metal detoxification along with a host of other benefits, this was one of the major action items on my list especially in response to the potential radiation coming our way. I've been meaning to add this into my regimen for a while now so it's not like I'm stretching myself into an arena that's completely reactionary and fear-based. If my body is going to be exposed to harmful iodine, cesium, strontium and other particles that could devastate my system then chlorella is going to be a Superhero in knocking these suckas outta my body with a Kapow. There's lots of sources to buy Chlorella but I just got some off of Mercola.com where they're having a special, three bottles for $38, free shipping. That's gonna last me 3 months if I go all out with 15 a day but I plan to work my way up with 5 a day for a week and so on and so forth. With all this stuff I feel it's important to slowly introduce your body to it to see how it reacts first rather than bombarding it with foreign substances no matter how healthy they may be. Just take it easy no matter what you do unless you're down with the possibility of harsh detox reactions such as rashes, headaches, fevers or urges to believe in the Knicks winning a playoff series, you know, the regular stuff.

6. Vitamin C - Yeah Yeah, yaaawn, how boring but it cannot be denied that Vitamin C is tantamount to an impenetrable immune system. I personally have always felt that food should be your primary source of Vitamin C and that does not include sugary fruit juices from concentrate, those are big no-nos. I believe citrus to be too acidic and less reliable than green foods so I get my Vitamin C primarily from Kale, Swiss Chard and Broccoli which is the Regal Emperor of Vitamin C. If you're looking for the yummiest way to get kale in your diet look no further than the 'All Hail Kale' salad at Veggie Grill on Sunset & Crescent Heights; you won't believe you're eating healthy.

I've also begun to cook a whole lot more since moving into my new space and one of the easiest recipes I've learned is Broccoli Soup. It literally takes 5 minutes. You get some broccoli florets or cut them yourself, boil them, put them in a blender with the water from what you used to boil them, puree it, put the puree back in the saucepan to heat a little more and season...and that's it! Deelish and beacoup Vitamin Cee.

Should you be in the market for a Vitamin C supplement I recommend World Image Naturals Vitamin C. It's the best Vitamin C supplement out there for the price and quality, around $22, and anytime I feel run down or out of sorts their C does this trick.

Side Note: Since I'm giving you my whole health spiel I would be remiss if I didn't mention Blessed Herbs. For the one and a half of you that actually follow my blog you'll know how profound an impact this cleanse had on me when I did it last year. If you asked me what you should do to get healthy right now this very moment I would tell you stop what you're doing and splurge for a Blessed Herbs colon cleanse and Internal Cleansing kit, without a doubt. Your gut is the foundation of your health and unless you're strictly a raw foodist or a major detoxing health nut that posts 30 posts a day on Facebook of your cleanses and absurd health events and videos your gut is 100% compromised. Not only that but if I could go to Vegas and put money down on you having parasites I would...because you do. Really, just take a second to go to their site and consider it at the very least, [BlessedHerbs.com] it's a commitment and it's intense but my goodness you will be a completely different intelligent monkey afterward, this I garrunnntee. Moving on...

7. Coconut - Yum Yum Yum. Sooo good for you and so scrumdeeleeyumptious. I've read a lot about all these high end coconut products and creams and oils blah blah blah...look, go to your local health food store or market, get some young coconuts for a coupla bucks each. Have them crack them open for you or if you're in a Romancing the Stone type of mood get a machete or cleaver and hack the sucker open, drink the water which is filled with all kinds of good stuff and way better than all those coco waters on the market which are intrinsically going to be less nutritious due to their being packaged, heated and shipped. Scoop out the meat and eat it or chop it up into your smoothies or whatever. Guys, this is especially good for us and our bits and pieces. I've been doing 2 a week but will probably up it to 4 going forward. I add this pricy Whey Protein I get from Mercola to the water and meat that I blend into a smoothie along with some raw eggs and you can do that as well with whatever powder or superfood that you normally use.

8. Black Mica Extract - Okeedoke this is where we begin venturing into the extreme. I'm not getting this off the bat but keeping it on my wishlist as I keep an eye on the developments in Japan as well as civilian radiation readings on the West Coast. Should the news get dire and it gets confirmed that readings are shooting through the roof over here I trust that the regimen above will be more than adequate to get me through the initial days or weeks but going forward I want this in my cupboard. It's pricy but is by far and away theee most potent way to get every single molecule out of your water that's no bueno, including radioactive ones. It will also raise the vibration and frequency of the water as well. You know there's all this caca out there about ionized water or high frequency waters made through machines or wands or this and that and I'm gonna tell you point blank: They're all Bullshit. No really, I know, you heard read blah blah listen to me...boool shiiite. Unadulterated poop and a drain on your wallet. Sell them on eBay stiff someone else with it whatever, stop using them or paying through the nose for them it's a waste of money. That's not to say that a bomb-ass water filter like Berkey or Aqua-Sana is something you should dismiss or not use, absolutely vital in keeping your water drinkable but this other stuff is useless. At any rate, this Black Mica is the real deal and worth every penny if you're going for the gusto and at some point I will whether the icky waves make it from Fuku or not.

9. Chocolate Chip Cookies - Look, you gotta know whut I mean? Whatever is your form of chocolate chip cookie do it and do it happily with a wiggle in your tushy. Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed, do the things that make you happy. Mine includes a hearty cup of tea with a cookie or brownie...and only the good stuff for me, like the 8 bucks a bag kind of stuff. Yes sugar is bad for you etcetera tera ta ra but I will never opt for a joyless life built solely on protection and fortification. I want a chocolate chip cookie that makes me feel like I just saw a beautiful woman walk by in a tight purple skirt, heels and a Yankees cut-off tee, yes, make my groin grumble you crumble of chocolately goodness you. I may be sitting in a bath of sea salts mainlining Ginseng into my veins but I'll be damned sure to have a cookie waiting for me when I get out...and you should too.

Well there ya have it. I'm sure there are plenty of other things people are saying for you to do unless you're a brotha from Chicago/Kenya owned by foreign banksters which would mean you'd be saying 'Do nothing and watch TV' while smiling and making your college picks on ESPN. Oy, everyone realizes he's an absolute scam at this point, right?

Look, if you outlay around a hundred or a hundred fitty bux you'd be more than set to get your body rolling and pumped up with happy stuff that will stop the potential icky from making its way into you. That's insanely cheap considering what the consequences may possibly be if you don't. For chrissakes don't they have absurd bottle service deals at low frequency clubs where you plop down hundreds for a bottle that they bought at CVS for forty bones so you can drink it with friends that used you to get in and have your tucchus be grinded on by a wanna-be gangsta from Cerritos who swears he's Snoop's cousin? Take one Bottle Service night off and you'd be golden.

Trusting this provided you with some info and love, I'm gonna bounce and get a kettle of water going for my tingling sweet tooth, ciao!
