Although I believe the blackout on severity of Fukushima reactor #4’s vulnerability can truly be covering up the 2012 catastrophe that changes life as we know it on this planet, I DO NOT like to be a scare monger. Especially with fragile populations. So I speak to those who care for them, please see this significant data link. Regardless of this news update, we should be talking dynamically together, how to protect mama and baby from radiation. We do not have to be alarmist to be very timely. They are among the most vulnerable populations to any kind of pollution and we are surrounded even w/o a 10-85X potency Chernobyl. I will be addressing what can mamas do short of migrating to ?? which most won’t can’t and shouldn’t, in terms of daily care, in my cooking and consulting classes in June. The June classes and Tuesday night series on herbals do have a prerequisite class running now and are being recorded.
Dr. Vasant Lad recommends postpartum mamas eat 2 tsp daily of tikta ghee. These bitter herbs are not appropriate taken alone – might even reduce milk supply that way in early postpartum, but prepared in ghee are not only padded, but work more effectively. Best taken in 1/2 cup hot water or tea. Tikta ghee addresses the nuclear level/dna and helps cleanse and reset the ether element among other things.
Dr. RamaKant Mishra speaks of the similarity between radiation and lightning strikes, distorting at the level of the ether element, which is nuclear energy and cell nucleus and DNA level.
There are of course other modifications to the abundant advice running around to protect mood, colic and other issues from being side effects, included in my 6 page article, Radiation Exposures – Protecting Mothers and Newborns with Ayurveda.
