Diet to counter acute radiation dose? -Reply

John,

See Linda Clark's "Are You Radioactive?" (1973).  She  says that ".. buckwheat
seeds and millet are considered radiation preventative .. " but even more
important is her formula for fallout protection, which is said to be effective against
leukemia: "1 teaspoon of whole natural sea salt (Chico-San brand), 1 teaspoon of
baking soda, 1 quart of water."  The medical folk at Georgetown do not agree, but
what do they know?
