Supplements safe for children?
Hello...I am wondering what everyone else is supplementing their children's diet with in light of the radiation load we are experiencing or will experience. I am giving extra multivitamins, about 3x the daily Vit. C, a green vitamin, spirulina and chlorella shakes, and adding apple pectin or apples as much as I can. I am wondering what others are doing and what is safe. I want to protect my kids as best I can without harming them with unsafe supplements. Any pediatricians or Dr.s on here?
I think you should stuff
I think you should stuff your kids with all the supplements and pills in sight, otherwise they will die. Radiation is extremely high right now. It will always be.
No need to be an asshat.

Their kids would be lucky if
Their kids would be lucky if they don't die from Hypervitaminosis.
You obviously don't have
You obviously don't have children or this worry for the health of your loved ones so move on. It was an honest questions for moms and concerned Dads. If it doesn't relate to you, spare people your negative remarks.
I am not a doctor so I can't
I am not a doctor so I can't answer your questions but I thought I would mention that we are doing mostly the same as you are.
I am also giving my kids, ages 10 and 6 extra supplements. They have a regular multivitamin plus extra vitamin C, D, Calcium, acidopholous and omega 3. I also try to make them a healthy smoothie a day containing 1 avocado, 1 banana, either pineapple or blueberries, a cup of ice, spirulina powder, a couple of scoops of hemp protein powder, almond milk and organic fruit juice. I also give them apple pectin poweder in their juice. I also sometimes add chia seeds to their smoothies or to baking. I have been avoiding all fruits and vegetables from California for the moment so we have been eating more imported fruits and veggies which may not be much healthier. We are also avoiding any dairy, green leafy vegetables except those I purchased frozen pre-Fukushima. We still eat eggs and chicken/turkey.
I am wondering about apples. I wonder if they are safe to consume because they are above-ground and exposed to the fallout. All of our apples here in Canada are either from California, Washington or British Columbia. I also have an apple tree in my backyard that I would like to use the apples from but again I don't know if they will be safe to eat. I haven't purchased any apples for my kids in weeks because now I am not sure if they are safe. Stupid Canada is not doing any food testing or letting us know the levels of radiation in the air or water so we are on our own here.
I am not sure what I am going to do once my stored food runs out.
Aren't the apples being sold
Aren't the apples being sold now from North Anerica from harvests last year?
If so, what does that do to
If so, what does that do to their nutritional content?
ONE year in storage! Wow!
What a long way we've come if that is indeed true!
I thought they were put in
I thought they were put in Nitrogen sequestering over the winter. It shouldn't change their nutrition very much.
