What’s lurking in your tap water? I wouldn’t worry about toads, but amoebas…

I think I’m finally back on track with my columns here…

This Monday, (unlike a few Mondays past) you get the usual “Digest This!” column again! Many of you have said this is your most favorite post of the week.

In today’s edition, I’m going to share if your neti pot can really kill you, shocking news about the Fukushima reactors and if herbs can or cannot help eliminate altitude sickness.

Let’s get started now…

You don’t have to worry about radioactive milk from this goat… (It’s male.)

Fukushima is out of the news in the U.S., but the effects it has had on our food system (yes, in the U.S.) are still evident…

I received a question from a reader, Mirella, and it prompted me to revisit some of the research that I had done about 6 months ago when the disaster was occurring.

You may be surprised at some of the things that have turned up since then.

Here’s the question (my answer follows)…

Homer Simpson may have more prudent advice to give us than the newly crowned “nuclear health experts.”

I’m not a nuclear radiation protection expert.

I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t know a lot about radioactive plumes, nuclear meltdowns and cesium 137.

It seems over the last few days, a lot of natural health experts have attended and graduated nuclear protection school just in time to sell you a boat load of herbal products that surely will save your life from impending doom.

That was a little sarcastic, so let me be fair, some of their recommendations are somewhat appropriate, but there needs to be someone who speaks clearly about how shortsighted these approaches may be and how they likely won’t protect you from harm in the case of a real emergency.

So in this article, I’m not going to pretend that I’m suddenly an expert at what you need to do to protect your health in the case of an nuclear emergency.

I’m not going to explain what doses of Potassium Iodide that you need to take, nor how much seaweed you need to prevent radiation damage to your thyroid.

That would be a serious misrepresentation of my strengths and likely chip away at my credibility.

What I am going to do, is share some of the things that I do know and how they may help you make sense of this entire disaster in Japan.

I don’t know if it gets any better than this, nor do I have and idea what I was searching on YouTube when I found it. :-)

This guy from Japan, has figured out how to make some pretty cool instruments from the stuff you have in your fridge.

I’ve posted a few of his videos here for you to check out! (I’m kind of afraid, that this may in fact be more entertaining to watch than the Renegade Health Show… I’ll just have to kick it up a notch!)

Vegetable Instruments Video #2

Vegetable Instruments Video #3

Here are all the vegetable instruments he’s made over time. I have no idea what he’s saying, but the “asparagus” part is hysterical!

This might be considered abuse by some raw foodies… ;-)

Live Awesome!
