It wasn’t exactly front page news. In fact, if you aren’t a real news hound, you might even have missed it.
We’re talking about the recent announcement that a mysterious radioactive cloud was detected hovering over Europe from late September through the middle of October.
It sounds like something out of dime store sci-fi novel. But it’s, absolutely, true.
In early November, France’s Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety Institute confirmed that ruthenium 106 was floating around in the atmospheres of the majority of European countries.
The messages from all the mainstream media coverage were essentially the same. Don’t worry. It’s harmless. It poses no threat.
But if you’re like many folks, you worried anyway. And you’re STILL worried now.
After all, a plume of radioactive ruthenium 106 floating around in the atmosphere can only mean one thing. A nuclear accident that someone is hiding.
Fears over radioactive cloud fallout
And while that cloud of radioactive particles has now dissipated, questions remain.
- Where did it come from?
- Could it happen again?
- And does it pose a threat to our health?
The most likely source of the accident appears to be in or near Russia, according to most experts. And it looks like we may have lucked out… this time.
Because while people living close to the accident could be at major risk, at the levels detected it likely doesn’t pose a threat to folks living in Europe or the United States.
But here’s the thing. Since we don’t know who is responsible, or what exactly occurred, we can’t rule out it happening again.
And the next time could be even worse.
Radioactive compounds can cause harm for decades
The truth is even low level radiation exposure can have major consequences. It can take years, or even decades, for radiation-triggered cell mutations to cause birth defects and diseases… or for cancers to form.
Heavier radioactive particles tend to stay close to where they’re released. But lighter ones can travel much further, carried by wind and rain.
Some radioactive compounds, such as ruthenium 106, can take many years to decay fully. Which is why every single human being on earth carries around invisible reminders of the bomb testing from our past, as well as the nuclear accidents at Chernobyl and Fukushima.
And these long-lived unstable atoms can produce increased cancer risks for decades and years after their release.
But there’s good news. While you have no control over your exposure to nuclear fallout from accidents, you aren’t totally defenseless. And since radiation exposure is cumulative—building up in your body over time from a variety of sources—it’s vital to shield yourself against the damage it can do.
Supplements can help, including…
- spirulina
- N-acetyl cysteine
- alpha lipoic acid
- vitamin C
