Sulfur Protection?
"Sulfur sulfates radiation
(rendering it into harmless sulfate) by
absorbing the electrons coming off radiation into the outer orbit of its atomic
structure." - 50's 8th grade science class before the
Sulfur news blackout.
Miso soup that Hiroshima survivors used daily is from
sea cucumbers full of Sulfur - just like garlic, cilantro, and pine, and the
mushrooms grown on sulfur-loaded pine trees that have been so popular lately.
Sulfur also absorbs Cesium
radiation, and Boron doesn't.
Why not dump yellow Sulfur
powder into all the reactors?
Pub Med US Gov Database - CONCLUSIONS:
" The inclusion of various
sulfur-containing functions in organic molecules yielded compounds having
whole-body radiation protection from lethal doses of gamma-radiation in
animals."

So there might be lots of consequences especially these
days of not having lots of natural organic replacement Sulfur food arriving into
the body every 12 hours.
Mark Sircus, Ac., OMD: "the best way to get sulfur into the
body is with MSM..." But it has to be real natural additive free organic
Sulfur, from REAL MSM, not the devitalized cheaper store stuff.

Radioprotective and radiosensitizing effects of sulfur-containing amino acid
derivatives on mice.
Nishimura A, Hashimoto M, Konno K, Ohta Y, Tahara S, Nishimura H.
Both protection and sensitization of Mice C57Bl against 60Co gamma-rays by
sulfur-containing amino acid derivatives--S-alkyl-L-cysteines,
S-alkyl-2-methyl-DL-cysteines and their hydantoin derivatives, and sulfoxides of
these compounds--were examined. DL-5 Allylthiomethyl-5-methylhydantoin (150 mg/kg
body weight) had a remarkable radioprotective effect. The survival ratio was 4.3
or above two times as much as that of L-cysteine. On the other hand, its
sulfoxide had a radiosensitizing effects; survival ratio, 0.333.

Sulfur compounds in therapy: radiation-protective agents, amphetamines, and
mucopolysaccharide sulfation.

OBJECTIVE: Sulfur-containing compounds have been used in the search for
whole-body radiation-protective compounds, in the design of amphetamine
derivatives that retain appetite-suppressive effects but lack most behavioral
effects characteristic of amphetamines, and in the search for the cause of kidney
stone formation in recurrently stoneforming patients.
METHODS: Organic synthetic procedures were used to prepare radiation-protective
compounds having a variety of sulfur-containing functional groups, and to prepare
amphetamine derivatives having electron-attracting sulfur functions. In the case
of the kidney stone causation research, isolation of urinary mucopolysaccharides
(MPS) from recurrently stoneforming patients was carried out and the extent of
sulfation of the MPS was determined by electrophoresis.
RESULTS: Whole-body radiation-protective agents with a high degree of protection
against lethal doses of gamma-radiation in mice were found in a series of
quinolinium and pyridinium bis(methylthio) and methylthio amino derivatives.
Mechanism studies showed that the copper complexes of these agents mimicked the
beneficial action of superoxide dismutase. Electron-attracting sulfur-containing
functions on amphetamine nitrogen, as well as 4'-amino nitrogen provided
amphetamine derivatives with good appetite-suppressant effects and few or no
adverse behavioral effects. Higher than normal levels of sulfation of the urinary
MPS of stone formers suggested a cause for recurrent kidney stone formation. A
sulfation inhibitor was found to prevent recurrence of stone formation and
inhibit growth of existing stones.
CONCLUSIONS: The inclusion of various sulfur-containing functions in organic
molecules yielded compounds having whole-body radiation protection from lethal
doses of gamma-radiation in animals. The presence of electron-attracting sulfur
functions in amphetamine gave derivatives that retained appetite-suppressant
effects and eliminated most adverse behavioral effects. A therapy for recurrent
urolithiasis resulted from inhibition of MPS sulfation, after the finding that
stoneforming patients had abnormally high levels of MPS sulfation.

Protection by sulfur compounds against the air pollutants ozone and nitrogen
dioxide.
FAIRCHILD EJ 2nd, MURPHY SD, STOKINGER HE.
Two distinct but related pathways of protection against the lethal effects of
ozone and nitrogen dioxide are shown by (i) simultaneous inhalation of compounds
that furnish -SH or -SS-, or both, and (ii) by injection of thiourea derivatives
several days prior to exposure to these oxidant gases. The mechanism of (i) is
believed similar to that proposed for the action of radiation-protective
compounds; that of (ii) involves the development of a tolerance initiated by the
thiourea against the oxidants.

Caffeine protects mice against whole-body lethal dose of gamma-irradiation.

Administration of caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine), a major component of
coffee, to Swiss mice at doses of 80 or 100 mg/kg body weight 60 min prior to
whole-body lethal dose of gamma-irradiation (7.5 Gy) resulted in the survival of
70 and 63% of animals, respectively, at the above doses in contrast to absolutely
no survivors (LD-100/25 days) in the group exposed to radiation alone.
Pre-treatment with a lower concentration of caffeine (50 mg/kg) did not confer
any radioprotection. The protection exerted by caffeine (80 mg/kg), however, was
reduced from 70 to 50% if administered 30 min prior to irradiation. The trend
statistics reveal that a dose of 80 mg/kg administered 60 min before whole-body
exposure to 7.5 Gy is optimal for maximal radioprotection. However, caffeine (80
mg/kg) administered within 3 min after irradiation offered no protection. While
there is documentation in the literature that caffeine is an antioxidant and
radioprotector against the oxic pathway of radiation damage in a wide range of
cells and organisms, this is the first report demonstrating unequivocally its
potent radioprotective action in terms of survival of lethally whole-body
irradiated mice.
