Nuclear and Mining Damage in Canada! Mar 19/11

The nuclear industry as a serious political issue has gone viral on the internet, in the wake of the Japanese meltdown. Globally, the anti-war/anti-nuke movements have a mature and strong, well-established infrastructure. Together as a coalition, they have the potential to exert a mighty pressure at this time, given public preoccupation with the immediate hazards of airborne radiation products. We’ve already seen the great impact on public consciousness, of the global profiteering in food and other commodities, and the diffuse anger in response – ranging from the middle-eastern rebellions, to the emerging “99% movement” in the USA.

There is a possibility that the Japanese government may be an early victim to the lack of natural disaster and nuclear safety preparedness, and cover up of the current crisis. If that occurs, it’s entirely possible that a right-wing replacement government will fill the political void: a result which might be welcomed by a bumbling Obama administration, given its failed policies of containing China’s rising influence in Asia. With the significant news blackout in mainstream media, many “alternative” commentators now expect the worst-case scenario may quickly affect North America, with considerable public anger directed at governments who hide the facts. In Germany, for example, the Merkel government, facing an election in a week or two has quickly suspended all nuclear electric plans pending further investigation.

There has perhaps never been a better opportunity for the consolidated peace/anti-nuclear/green movements worldwide to exert a very significant influence on public policy; re-opening a substantive non-proliferation debate, and even asserting widespread popular opposition to the current status quo. A responsible but firm advocacy of public health and safety responses downwind of the nucleotide stream would go a long way to establish credibility; and a rational linkage to the military geopolitical nexus could produce an unprecedented opportunity for the world to re-think some of our basic ethical precepts about the nuclear genie which has been released.

Canada, as one of the world’s strongest proponents of nuclear “development” will do its utmost to deep-six any real critical discussion of the issue, due to its obvious economic self-interest. As a nation with considerable experience in and promotion of an industry inimical to public health we have a humanitarian obligation to play an active, assertive role in the debate. That means confronting both government and industry, and disseminating factual rebuttals to Orwellian double-speak whenever and wherever it happens, in an effort to expose the contradictions and educate an already wary public. The basic premises are really very simple and understandable. Those who obfuscate the facts through complex scientific data and scenarios, or celebrity status as “experts” must be quickly debunked. The anti-nuclear/anti-war infrastructure has the capacity to do this but it must act immediately if it is to seize the initiative.

This link connects to a powerful 45 minute film worth watching if you haven’t seen it before. It was produced by a former associate of mine at the National Film Board and documents the Canadian uranium industry in the Elliot Lake region of Ontario. I lived and worked there in 1956-59, in the isolated town site of “Pronto Uranium Mine”, the very first developed by Rio Tinto on the shores of Lake Lauzon in Algoma Mills, Ontario before Elliot Lake was even built. I’ve seen the environmental abuses first hand and early on, and was aware of the premature deaths of almost all our neighbours, before the mine was cleverly “disappeared” from most historical records. On Google Earth you can still see the vestiges of “yellowcake” and other by-products in the tailings ponds and lakes, long after the mines were de-commissioned. The film tells the rest of the story, and there are many articulate Canadian scientists in the vanguard of the opposition movement today.

I urge you to watch the film and talk to your colleagues about “upping the ante” on government and industry in the wake of the unfolding human catastrophe in Japan. It is not the first such catastrophe. It may very well affect us and our grand-children directly and, unless we are able to do something about it, it will certainly not be the last. With apologies for my truncated editorialization and best regards,

Uranium Magnus Isacsson, 1990, 47 min 59 s

This documentary looks at the hazards of uranium mining in Canada. Toxic and radioactive waste pose environmental threats while the traditional economic and spiritual lives of the Aboriginal people who occupy this land have been violated. Given our limited knowledge of the associated risks, this film questions the validity of continuing the mining operations.

Ontario Radioactive Leak in Water & Herbal Remedies Mar 21/11

With all the focus placed on the Japanese radiation leak as well as the toxic plume of radioactive particles (possibly containing uranium and plutonium) heading for the United States, another potential disaster is receiving virtually no attention. Of course, attention should be paid to the Japanese situation. Especially since the mainstream media is doing everything it can to cover up the scale of the disaster. Nevertheless, it seems the continent of North America is being hit from two sides in terms of radiation danger.

On March 16, a report was released by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) stating that Canada’s Ontario Power Generation has released radioactive water into Lake Ontario via a leak in the Pickering A nuclear generating station.

As a result of what appears to be a pump seal failure, tens of thousands of litres of radioactive water escaped the generating station on Monday and ended up in Lake Ontario. This is concerning for a number of reasons, but it is especially concerning considering the fact that Lake Ontario is the main source of drinking water for millions of people.

Radiation poisoning; n Illness induced by exposure to ionizing radiation, ranging in severity from nausea, vomiting, headache, and diarrhea to loss of hair and teeth, reduction in red and white blood cell counts, extensive hemorrhaging, sterility, and death.

There are natural herbs that contain potassium iodide. For millennia, people have treated themselves with remedies made from the plants that we have growing all around us. Knowing what plants you can use in an emergency is a skill that is slowly being lost to us.

Certain plants will stop bleeding, others will help heal bones, some cleanse the blood and others help rid our bodies of infections and toxins. There is a pharmacopia at our fingertips.

I asked Judith what kind of tea she could create for us to help just in case we ended up with radio-active chemtrails raining down on us. She sat do wn and made up this formula. We call it “On the Beach Tea”.

On the Beach Tea; Herbal remedies for radiation

Bladder wrack, Oregon Grape, Irish Moss, Fennel Seed, Sheep Sorrel, Mullein and Golden Seal.

Radioactivity is also carcinogenic, so we have included a recipe with herbs that many people believe aid in mitigating cancer and its effects. After I broke most of the bones in my upper body, I was x-rayed so many times I thought I was going to start glowing in the dark. I asked Judith then to make me a tea that would help with cancer prevention by strengthening my immune system. She added a couple things to an old Ojibwah formula and made me this “Alexis Tea”.

Alexis Tea;

Burdock Root, Sheep Sorrel, Turkey Rhubarb Root, Slippery Elm, Astragalus and Red Clover.

The exact formulas and a lot of information on the herbs that are mentioned in the recipes are available on the internet at:

Hello from

Are you concerned with the effects of  Nuclear Meltdown?

And the possible resulting   Radiation Poisoning?

Are you aware of

Natural Herbal Recipes

That can mitigate the effects? Here is what we believe;

Judith Townsend is a Certified Iridologist and Herbal Consultant. She is qualified as a Practitioner and knowledgeable in Chinese Constitutional Therapy, Cell Harmonics, Anatomy and Physiology. For many years she has maintained a database of human conditions cross-correlated with herbal recipes believed to alleviate them. The custom software Judith uses to catalogue conditions and plants has an aid for doing Iridology Analysis built into it.

For many years Judith has been teaching people how to create their own recipes from a knowledge of local herbs. Two years ago she wrote a book called “Herb ABC’s” that teaches you about local herbs and their properties and how to use them in your own recipes. She also has a book called ‘Àlexis Elixirs Favourite Recipes` and is now working on an Encyclopedia of Plants that are natural to Southern British Columbia and how to use them for recipes in an emergency.

Judith has a lot of information about plants and more herbal recipes available on her website and video about herbal recipes at;

The herbal teas we make to sell at the Farmer’s Markets are concocted with herbs purchased in bulk from Golden Bough. You have to order herbs by the pound from Golden Bough to get them wholesale, so we do have a bit more ‘On the Beach Tea’ and ‘Alexis Tea’ than we need for our own use. If you can’t find the ingredients available and you live in the Nakusp area, give Judith a call at 250-306-3112 and inquire into availability and prices. Yes, we do barter trade.

Along with ‘On the Beach Tea’ and ‘Alexis Tea’, we keep a good supply of Panacea Paste for skin problems, 180,000 HTU Capsicum Capsules for the circulatory system and Sea Kelp Capsules for regulating the Thyroid and pituitary glands. Kelp activates all glands of the body, purifies the blood and cleanses the body of radiation.

We also use a concoction of essential oils called `Alexis Oil` that contains Eucalyptus, Sweet Orange. Cinnamon, Lemon, Rosemary, Clove, Myrhh and Oregano. Purifies water and calms a chest cold.

There is a lot in the news lately about the quakes in Japan and the resulting damage to nuclear facilities. There have been over a hundred quakes and aftershocks since then and a number of facilities right on the fault, so the danger is far from over. Leaked radiation from these facilities is of paramount concern to all humans because of how deadly toxic these substances are. Not only do they have the ability to cause death, but horrific mutations to subsequent generations.

For this reason it is easy to panic when faced with this scenario. People are leaving Japan in droves. The food disappeared off the shelves in a matter of days and many now face starvation on top of cold and devastation. The same could happen here very quickly.

The good thing is that our governments are well prepared for such a scenario. Turns out they have stockpiles of Potassium Iodide, although the British Columbia government declined to say where due to security concerns. Both the Canadian and U.S. governments also have stock- piles to distribute to members of the Public in an emergency.

While it is good to know this, it is also a good idea to be prepared in any way that you can and it is always a good idea to have a little extra on hand to share with family and neighbours. We have collected, sold and traded heirloom seeds for many years and also collect seeds from natural plants to see how they grow in a greenhouse or garden.

There are many plants locally that have wonderful medicinal properties as well as add nice flavours to your cooking. Some of these that contain potassium and can help balance your electrolytes include;

Dandelion, Red Clover, Elder Flowers, Garlic, Yellow Dock, Burdock Root, Black Walnut, Mullein, Horsetail, Liquorice Root, Chickweed, Stinging Nettle, Basel and Tarragon. Vegetables include Carrots, Celery, Parsley, Spinach, Beets, Cauliflower, Leeks, Raw Potatoes, Squash, Tomatoes and Turnips. Fruits include Oranges, Lemons, Apricots, Bananas, Cherries, Dates, Grapes, Huckleberries, Figs, Pears, Peaches, Plums, Raspberries and Olives.
