Bob Nichols, journalist and owner of YouTube Channel (Your Radiation This Week), has tracked Gamma Radiation in the U.S. for several years. Sadly many measuring devices have been removed, deactivated or destroyed and not replaced. Radiation is cumulative and does weaken our immune system and our body’s overall functioning.
“..Everybody and everything in the States absorbs a certain amount of the Rad every day. The total Rad number you are exposed to determines how much you absorb; now and in the past. The Rad is always Cumulative…” Bob Nichols
These are the 24 Hour a day recorded Total Gamma Radiation in CPM and Sievert measured highs affecting people around the United States. Be prepared for a shock, these Year to Date totals are really big radiation numbers.
The Rad numbers are your guide to your exposure to the Rad. How much you already absorbed in your daily life is really hard to find out.”
There are some steps you can take to reduce your exposure to radiation, namely:
1) Not reside near any of the cities with high amounts of radiation reported
2) Try to avoid being outside at night & on weekends
3) Consider closing your windows & doors at night & on weekends
4) PRAY over you & your family & your pets.
Since many nuclear reactors vent radioactive gases and steam at nights and on weekends, whenever possible, stay inside at nights and on weekends. Especially hard hit are the cities listed in Your Radiation This Week.

The Gamma radiation now is 10.9254 Times Larger than when measured FOR THE YEAR 2010. That is 3,896 elapsed days, or 93,504 Hours.
Gamma radiation in the wild escaped from nuclear reactors and detonated nuclear weapons.
“The recent High Radiation events this summer (2020) were started near Moscow with a nuclear reactor 30 Miles outside of town under Russian Dictator Putin’s control.
A radioactive cloud was released. The RadCloud immediately headed West for hundreds of miles/kilometers, across Russia and Europe to the States. So the story goes.
It did not take long for the giant RadCloud to head across the Atlantic Ocean and park over the North Eastern United States. No warnings were issued by Federal authorities, though that IS their Job…
The unusual and dangerous RadCloud was ‘parked’ over the North Eastern United States. That I know of, Not One, None, Zero, Zilch of the expensive TV Weather Caster operations ‘noticed’ the RadCloud.
I do not know why the lethal RadCloud did not move for weeks. Rad readings are still elevated 15cpm from a summer time (annualized) high of 131,654,040cpm recorded in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Of course, in terms of Highly Radioactive America, the Gamma radiation has declined to an annual rate of 80 Million Counts a year at Portsmouth, Maine and 90 Million Counts a year in Raleigh, North Carolina.”

Original Article – “Using Foods and Herbs for Radiation Detoxification By Guest Blogger Vanessa Nixon Klein, Traditional Naturopath”
“In 1945, at the time of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, Tatsuichiro Akizuki, M.D., Director of the Department of Internal Medicine at St. Francis’s Hospital, Nagasaki, fed his staff and patients a strict diet of the following foods: brown rice, miso and tamari soy soup, wakame, kombu and other seaweed, Hokkaido pumpkin, and sea salt. He also prohibited the consumption of sugar and sweets since they suppress the immune system. By imposing this diet on his staff and patients, no one succumbed to radiation poisoning, whereas the occupants of hospitals located much further away from the blast incident suffered severe radiation fatalities. (Tatsuichiro Akuziki, M.D. Nagasaki 1945, London Quarter books, 1981).
Seaweeds are very high in mineral content. Consuming natural iodine, such as in the seaweeds, helps prevent the uptake of iodine-131, while iron inhibits the absorption of plutonium-238 and plutonium-239. Vitamin B-12 inhibits cobalt-60 uptake. Zinc inhibits zinc-65 uptake and sulfur is preventative for sulfur-35 (a product of nuclear reactors) incorporation by the body. Sea vegetables can prevent assimilation of different radionuclides, heavy metals such as cadmium, and other environmental toxins.
‘There is no family of foods more protective against radiation and environmental pollutants than sea vegetables … sea vegetables can prevent assimilation of different radionuclides, heavy metals such as cadmium, and other environmental toxins.’ Steven Schechter, N.D.
Because of the possibility of radioactive contamination of seawater and sea life itself, it is important to make sure your source of sea vegetables is committed to regularly sampling and testing for radioactivity.
Other Additions to the diet
Spirulina – After the Chernobyl incident in 1986, the Institute of Radiation Medicine in Minsk proved that children experienced enhanced immune systems, T-cell counts and reduced radioactivity on this protocol: 5 grams of spirulina a day for 45 days. Spirulina can be found in most health food stores.
Chlorella – It is one of the most widely studied of the algaes and has been described as having the highest chlorophyll content. Animal studies indicate a chlorophyll rich diet increases the survival of experimental animals after lethal doses of radiation. Studies dating back to the 1950’s, including a US Army study, confirm these findings. According Roy Upton, director of the American Herbal Pharmacopeia, the use of chlorella was first developed by the Japanese as an antidote and treatment against atomic radiation. Chlorella and liquid chlorophyll can also be found in most health food stores.
Brassica vegetables and high beta-carotene vegetables – Cancer researchers have found that all the brassica family plants protect your cells from the damaging effects of radiation. Beta-carotene has also been researched and found to have radio-protective effects. A study conducted on over 700 children exposed to the Chernobyl radiation found that diets high in carotenes significantly reduced DNA damage in humans exposed to radiation. Natural beta-carotene protects against the lipid oxidation and acts as a fatty acid antioxidant radio-protector. Brassica vegetables include broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, swedes, turnips, broccoli raab, collards, cress, kale, kohlrabi, mustard, and bok choi. Beta-carotene can be found in concentrated amounts in foods such as sweet potatoes, carrots, kale, spinach, turnip greens, winter squash, collard greens, cilantro, fresh thyme, cantaloupe, romaine lettuce and broccoli.
Beans and lentils – These foods have high nucleotide concentrations. Nucleotides are the building blocks that make up RNA and DNA. Nucleotides also carry out several critical functions needed for cell replication, as well as neutralizing toxins, increasing cellular metabolism, improving the response and efficiency of the immune system, enhancing the effects of antioxidants and increasing the body’s ability to heal and repair. Other foods high in nucleotides include spirulina, chlorella, algae, yeast, sardines, liver, anchovies and mackerel.
Potassium, magnesium, calcium and mineral rich foods – Cesium (one of the radioactive elements released from the nuclear reactor) will be treated by the body as if it were potassium, so a potassium deficiency would tend to make one more receptive to radioactive hazards posed by cesium, according to Ingrid Naiman, medical philosopher and counselor. Potassium regulation is affected by magnesium. Magnesium and calcium need to be in proper balance. Calcium significantly decreases the amount of Strontium 90 absorbed by bone. Foods high in potassium include apricots, avocado, bananas, cantaloupe, honeydew, kiwi, lima beans, milk, oranges, potatoes, prunes, spinach, tomatoes and winter squash. Greens like spinach and swiss chard, nuts and seeds such as pumpkin, sunflower and sesame, and beans like black and navy, are good sources of dietary magnesium. Most of the foods above also contain calcium, especially the dark green leafy vegetables, along with cheese, fish and yogurt.
Fatty acids, such as cod liver oil and olive oil – Two studies from Spain (Ilbanez and Castellanos) showed that olive oil fully protected rats against increasing doses of damaging X-ray irradiation. Other research has shown that mice exposed to large doses of radiation survived 50-100% longer than normal if fed cod liver oil.
Avoid refined, highly processed sugars and flours – This one probably does not need much explanation, but I will summarize by saying that after radiation exposure, the last thing you want to do is eat foods that have been proven to lower your immune function.
Radio-protective Herbs
These are herbs and medicinal foods that are either rich sources of chlorophyll and minerals, support detoxification and elimination, support the thyroid gland or neutralize free radicals.
Nettles & Alfalfa – nettles have the highest concentration of land plant chlorophyll and are an excellent source of selenium; alfalfa is a very good source of chlorophyll also – and both of these herbs are rich in a broad number of minerals.
Gingko Biloba – while this herb has a history of being radio-protective, it is not appropriate for everyone as it has the ability to thin the blood.
Pine Bark Extract, Green Tea Extract, Grape Seed Extract – increase expression of your glutathione system, which results in both metal detoxification and free radical neutralization.
Triphala – studies have found that radiation induced mortality was reduced by 60% in mice fed with triphala.
Turmeric – contains curcumin, which is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory and may help protect against radiation-induced damage to the skin.
Ashwaganda – supports the thyroid and adrenal glands.
Ginseng – can decrease side effects of radiation exposure as well as helping the body adapt to stress to aid in recovery.
Siberian Ginseng – can help protect against the side effects of radiation exposure and contains selenium.
Reishi – boosts the immune system after radiation exposure.
Astragalus – supports thyroid functioning.
Asparagus – another great source of glutathione, known to assist in the reduction of heavy metals and other toxins from the body, including radiation.
Red Clover – has been studied for its anti-radiation and anti-cancer effects with positive results.
Selenium containing foods – like Brazil Nuts, Sunflower Seeds, Fish (such as Halibut and Salmon), Eggs, Mushrooms (button, crimini, shiitake), Grains (wheat germ, barley, brown rice, oats) and Onions help protect DNA from radiation damage.
Sulphur containing foods – such as Fish, Eggs, Beans and Peas, Brussel Sprouts, Onions, Cabbage, Garlic and Wheat Germ have been found to protect the body against radiation.
High pectin foods – like carrots, sunflower seeds and apples have been shown to help keep pollutants from being assimilated.
According to Sayer Ji of GreenMedInfo.com: ‘….Apple pectin was shown after Chernobyl to accelerate clearance of Cesium 137 from the bodies of children, and should be considered for humanitarian aid to the Japanese.’
Professional Herbalist, Brigette Mars, has also drawn up a list of radio-protective herbs, some of which are featured here:
‘Aloe vera gel (Aloe vera) has been found to help heal radiation burns more quickly by its content of biogenic stimulators that encourage skin repair.
Burdock root (Arctium lappa) helps to neutralize and remove toxins from the body. During the Industrial Revolution, burdock was recommended as medicine to help people cope with the increased pollution.
Dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale) improves the function of our body’s organs elimination process. Consider how this plant has done a good job for itself adapting to environmental pollutants.
Eleuthero herb (Eleutherococcus senticosus) can help alleviate fatigue, ameliorate symptoms from chemical and radiation exposure and lessen the effects of stress.
Green and black tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) are antioxidant, immune stimulant, and contain radioprotective agents.
Milk thistle seed (Silybum marianum) helps protect the body from chemical exposure, environmental illness and liver damage.
Peppermint leaf (Mentha piperita) can reduce nausea from radiation exposure.
Red clover blossom (Trifolium pratense) improves health in general, helping all the organs of elimination function more optimally.
Yellow dock (Rumex crispus) improves the function of the kidneys, liver, lymphatic system, intestines and skin thus aiding the body’s natural cleansing process.’
It turns out that all of these suggestions are common-sense, proactive dietary choices that we should all consider incorporating into our lives to support healthy immune functioning, cell regeneration and gentle detoxification on a regular basis.“

Great article! My husband and I have been working with a natural wellness doctor (also an MD) for the past year to treat Lyme disease, mold from our horrid apartment, low functioning thyroid, and a slew of related problems. We take many of these products and can testify that they make a world of difference. I know some of them sound strange but they are widely available and easy to mix into drinks and meals. Go low and slow with initial doses–if you have an underlying toxicity problem you may have a strong and unpleasant reaction to some of these. I also recommend adding new products one at a time. That way if you have a bad response, you’ll know what’s causing it. If you feel totally averse to cutting out sugar, try low glycemic substitutes like xylitol.
For anyone dealing with Lyme disease. There’s an old drug named Disulfiram aka Antabuse recently discovered to work great on Lyme. This is a cheap and relatively easy Lyme treatment though it doesn’t work for everyone. If anyone is struggling w Lyme I recommend this video (link below). For further info checkout the Disulfiram Lyme facebook groups.

It’s in the medicine cabinet!
Broadly, by far the biggest source of gamma radiation we all experience is from outer space. Consequently, levels of radiation exposure can vary widely year over year based on the ebb and flow of the heliosphere and our own planet’s atmospheric shield. Nichols’ own graph confirms this: note that cities with higher exposure tend to be higher altitude, meaning there is less atmosphere for the radiation to pass through to get to the detector.
To argue that these changes in levels are coming primarily from nuclear reactors or Russian weapons experiments instead of the age old sources in outer space requires a more robust defense than I have seen Nichols give.
Hi Angular Prism – Yes the radiation from space is definitely something to be aware of. However your hypothesis “Nichols’ own graph confirms this: note that cities with higher exposure tend to be higher altitude,” is incorrect. Here is the elevation above sea level for each of the top 10 cities which shows your hypothesis (applicable for 40% of the cities) is not the sole explanation & to really see if is an accurate hypothesis, we would further need to check the lowest levels of radiation (which unfortunately Nichols does not track but may be on the EPA website) to verify that there are no high elevation cities with the lowest radiation readings. 1. Colorado Springs, CO – 6,035 feet * 2. Raleigh, NC – 315 feet 3. Little Rock, AR – 335 feet 4. Portland, ME – 62 feet 5. Billings, MT – 3,123 feet * 6. Worcester, MA – 479 feet 7. Spokane, WA – 1,843 feet* 8. Navajo Lake, NM – 7,228 feet * 9. San Diego, CA – 62 feet 10. Augusta, GA – 136 feet I used to consult with Carolina Power & Light, headquartered in Raleigh, NC. His comments about these nuclear reactors being old is accurate. I will also add a possible factor into the “mix” of what I believe is contributing to higher levels of radiation in particular cities – specifically proximity to bases &/or headquarters for the armed forces. Raleigh is not far from Fort Bragg, NC (Army) which is one of the largest military installations in the world, housing 57,000 soldiers. Colorado Springs is the location for the Air Force Academy & NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command). You can check this out by using a search engine with “what military base is near (city)”. I just checked for Little… Read more »
Just curious if anyone has been listening to Paul Bagleys show on Thursday night every week when Mike is on the show. Mike has been talking about radiation and pulses hitting the earth from outer space for a long time . According to him a cosmic event happened and the earth is starting to be affected by all the radiation hitting the magnetosphere. He also says a debris field is coming which will increase impacts. The guy says he works for the government but he can’t say which agency or what job title he has . You can get on Paul Bagleys YouTube page and listen to past episodes if you want .
