Pollen, leaf-fall, and cleansing

The earth has natural cycles for dealing with radiation and other toxins. One is in the spring, the other in the fall.

When trees and shrubs are releasing pollen in the spring, this pollen eventually falls to the ground and the earth deals with it. It’s kind of a cleansing of the system resulting in a lot of radiation leaving the tree and being washed into the ground where it doesn’t affect us, or the trees, so much.

The second time is when trees and shrubs shed their leaves in the fall. The same thing happens: things fall to the earth, rain washes it into the ground, and all is well.

These are the best times to cleanse your body as well — fasting, juice fasting, or eating a mucus-less diet. At the very least, cut down on animal products and eat more raw foods during these times. You can make your life much easier if you cut down on all protein foods during pollen season. Pollen is a protein, and your body can be easily overloaded by proteins during this time.

The earth washes fallout from man-made radiation into the earth and it is dealt with in the same way as natural radiation. Yes, it comes back up again as radon gas, but you can avoid this with proper construction techniques or fixes to reduce the amount coming into your home.

There are several things you can do to prevent uptake, or to detox afterwards:

• make tea from local trees and herbs: cedar, juniper (new growth or their berries), and sage (1/2 cup per day, or double if flexibility problems)
• seaweed in just about any form
• iodine — can be applied to skin in a small patch, then watch to see how long it takes to be absorbed, then reapply (this protects the thyroid glands)
• if iodine is not available, use black walnut tincture, which is high in natural iodine
• wash clothing with borax added to the wash water and don’t hang outside to dry
• drink ground water (from a well) instead of surface water
• if you only have surface water (from rivers or streams), filter with carbon with a sprig of new growth from local cedar or juniper tree, or their berries
• eat lots of greens! This includes seaweeds and algae, but collards, kale, and anything else with natural intense green color is good.
