As a prepper, you likely have a bug out shelter, tons of food, gear, and not to mention an extensive bug out kit. But do you have the supplies needed to combat nuclear radiation?
The truth is most people do not have these necessary supplements or even know what they are for that matter. However, with the rising risk of nuclear attack from several countries, having supplements that'll combat the effects of radiation sickness could mean the difference between life and a painful and slow death.
Not to mention a prepper should also be prepared for the frequent chance of a nuclear meltdown at a power plant and the potential threat of heavy radiation from natural sources as well.
Don't forget that we're reminded of the reality of these threats when instances such as the Fukushima plant in Japan take place. The radiation was streaming all the way to the west coast of the United States. Instances like this can happen, and it's best to be prepared for them ahead of time.
To learn about what supplements a prepper should keep on hand to combat radiation sickness, read more on the next page.

Four Proven Supplements for Treating Radiation Sickness
Iodine
Of all the organs in your body, your thyroid tends to be one of the most sensitive to radiation damage (second only to the kidneys). It readily absorbs the radioactive form of iodine, known as iodine-131, which is a known byproduct of nuclear fission. The best way to prevent this exposure, is by supplementing with normal healthy iodine, which will push the iodine-131 out of your thyroid.
Zeolites
This crystalline substance is naturally found in volcanic ash, and has been used for decades to clean up radioactive particles from nuclear facilities. It can also be used to absorb these harmful particles from your body. It’s tasteless and non-toxic, and can bind to Uranium-238, Caesium-137, and Strontium-90.
Bentonite Clay
When mixed with water, bentonite clay creates a powerful negative charge that is ideal for bonding with radioactive particles, as well as other pollutants like pesticides and heavy metals. Although there is a wide selection of bentonite clays on the market, if you’re looking for clays that you can eat, make sure you find one that is advertised as “food grade.”
Spirulina
Not only does it absorb Caesium-137, Potassium-40, and Strontium-90, but it can also play a key role in regenerating tissue that is damaged by these substances. Children living around the Chernobyl plant were given 5 gram doses of spirulina every day for several weeks, and were found to be in excellent health afterward.
So long survivor. You have no idea what you are talking about and linking articles from uneducated people. I grew up in the last days of Cold War, moreover in the freaking Soviet Union. The bunkers and supplies are still there. None of the stuff you mentioned.
If you are exposed to a high dose of radiation, you’ll be dead within 2 days to 2 weeks. Low doses would require decontamination and professional treatment. This isnt something you treat with a home remedy
The best thing to do if there is going to be a nuclear reaction is to get absolutely smashed face drunk. This was proved when the Russians did field tests on their soldiers. Cells can only be affected by radiation when dividing. Slow down your cellular division for metabolism, and you reduce the effects of radiation exposure!!!

FYI, just in case!
BORON is the TICKET, Boric acid, Borax, also known as sodium borate, sodium tetraborate, or disodium tetraborate, is an important boron compound, a mineral, and a salt of boric acid. Powdered borax is white, consisting of soft colorless crystals that dissolve easily in water.
