As you can imagine, I have had no end of contacts from people shall we say ….
freaking out about the "hints" from the big name news readers on the TeeVee.

And so … I have been asked to give them advice on what to stock up on in preparation before, during and after "the Big Event". I decided instead to write what I had to share in a post to share with a wider audience beyond my own inner circle as well. Links to sources are in gold.

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, 
nor be afraid of them: 
for the Lord thy God, 
he it is that doth go with thee; 
he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Deuteronomy 31:6, KJV

Please note that the information I am sharing is not based on personal experience or first hand knowledge. I've never had to deal with a nuclear blast, radioactive fallout, etc. But I do have first hand experience with the long term effects of radiation sickness, caring for my paternal grandfather who as a result of his technical expertise during his war time service suffered with life time radiation sickness. It's not pleasant, but he did live to 78 with nutritive and medical support and followup. What finally got him was not the radiation sickness, but the metastasized cancer from being a lifetime smoker. But I digress.

Update:  The preventative and restorative remedies discussed below I have had some direct experience with. I take them myself, and they were recommended by the oncology team for a young family member who was about to undergo a "lifetime dose" of pencil beam radiation. She still takes the supplements listed below, even though her radiation treatment was several years ago. I wanted to clarify that I do have some direct experience in supportive nutrition and supplements for patients exposed to therapeutic radiation but not a radioactive blast or power plant leak.
