Homeopathic Remedies for Nuclear Crisis or Cancer Radiation Therapy

Are there homeopathic remedies that are effective in the event of a nuclear disaster or for protection from cancer radiation therapy? Yes. Homeopathy has played a significant role as a viable form of treatment in the Chernobyl disaster according to this historical record.

Homeopathic Remedies for a Nuclear Crisis & Radioactive Fallout

The recommendations below are for people who are in close vicinity to a nuclear disaster or a significant exposure to radiation. Homeopathic experts Ravi Roy and Carol Lage-Roy helped thousands of people after the Chernobyl disaster (see their booklet). Homeopath Susan Curtis also gives recommendations in her book Surviving with Natural Remedies. This was their recommended protocol:

Homeopathic Remedies For Protection (Prophylaxis) from Radiation

Take a combination of remedies specific to the radioactive particles that one is exposed to. For a crisis like what happened in Fukushima, Japan or in Chernobyl, take Radium Bromatum, Plutonium Nitricum, Strontium Carbonicum and Caesium Muriaticum. For people with weak thyroids (e.g. Hashimotos), use Radium Iodatum instead of Radium Bromatum.

This is just one source for a custom-made combination remedy: Elixirs.com. (Remedies would ideally be taken after consultation with a homeopath.)

Potency: Use a 30C potency (strength) of the indicated remedy.

Dosage for General Protection: Take 1 dose (only) once per week of the homeopathic combination remedy (e.g. Radium/Plutonium Nitricum/Strontium Carbonicum/Caesium Muriaticum). Repeat for several weeks only until danger of exposure has passed.

Dosage During Danger of Acute Exposure: The combination remedy (Radium/Plutonium/Strontium/Cesium) can be taken as often as twice daily. The greater the danger, the more protection the body needs.

Homeopathic Protection from Radioactive Iodine

Kali Iodatum 6X (or 6c) should be taken during exposure to radioiodine from a nuclear event. 1 dose should be taken 3 times per day. This method of protection should be considered for those who are in danger of heavy exposure to radioiodine and have no access to Potassium Iodide tablets. It is also the preferred method for those who have minimal exposure to radioactive iodine but who would still like protection. Kelp tablets and sea vegetables also protect the thyroid from radioiodine, and can be consumed instead of or along with kali iodatum 3X.

Treatment of Acute Radiation Poisoning

Dr. Grimmer at the height of the cold war recommended carrying Arnica 30C and Phosphorus 30C.

Give Arnica for the immediate effects such as shock and bruising in a nuclear blast. Wait a half hour then give a dose of Phosphorus. Then follow up with a regular dose of one of the following indicated remedies:

Arsenicum 30: Nausea, retching and vomiting after eating and drinking. Utter prostration. Extremely anxious and fearful. Restless.

Nux Vomica 30: Violent vomiting. Intense nausea slightly relieved after vomiting.

Phosphorus 30: high fever with much vomiting. It is a burning heat as if the internal body is being burnt. Desire for very cold drinks in large quantities. Empty feeling in the stomach with nausea. Anxious and melancholic.

Rhus Venenata 30: extreme itching, especially if large blisters form.

Dosage: Give a 30C potency (strength) of the indicated remedy 2-3 times per day.

The following remedies may also be indicated for acute radiation sickness.

Homeopathic Remedies for Side Effects of Cancer Radiation Therapy

Cadmium Sulphuricum 30: This is the leading remedy for the side effects of radiation therapy. There is a lot of exhaustion, prostration and icy coldness. There is nausea and vomiting, anorexia, weight loss, and hair loss.

Sol 30: Hair loss and emaciation. Try this remedy if Cadmium Sulphuricum seems indicated but has no effect.

Radium Bromatum 30: Use for burned skin after radiation therapy.

X-Ray 30: Another common remedy for burns caused by radiation therapy.

Topical Aloe Vera: For radiation burns, apply aloe vera directly from the leaf onto the wound. Calendula cream is also effective for topical treatment for radiation burns.

Dosage During Treatment: Give 2 doses of the indicated remedy, one at 4 hours and one at 2 hours before the radiation therapy. Give one dose immediately after the radiation therapy and then give one at 2 hours and one at 4 hours after. On the two days following the radiation therapy give 3 doses of the indicated remedy approximately 6 hours apart. Use a 30C potency (strength) of the indicated remedy.
