I found this article about phytoremediation in relevance to Baccopa Moniera ( Brahmi ) herb , it's an old Indian medicinal herb with plenty of uses, one that I knew is it 's recommended remedy for impaired memory and ADHD as they'd probably say nowadays,
but also powerful antioxidant .

Phytoextraction

Phytoextraction (or phytoaccumulation) uses plants or algae to remove contaminants from soils, sediments or water into harvestable plant biomass (organisms that take larger-than-normal amounts of contaminants from the soil are called hyperaccumulators). Phytoextraction has been growing rapidly in popularity worldwide for the last twenty years or so. In general, this process has been tried more often for extracting heavy metals than for organics. At the time of disposal, contaminants are typically concentrated in the much smaller volume of the plant matter than in the initially contaminated soil or sediment. 'Mining with plants', or phytomining, is also being experimented with.

The plants absorb contaminants through the root system and store them in the root biomass and/or transport them up into the stems and/or leaves. A living plant may continue to absorb contaminants until it is harvested. After harvest, a lower level of the contaminant will remain in the soil, so the growth/harvest cycle must usually be repeated through several crops to achieve a significant cleanup. After the process, the cleaned soil can support other vegetation.

Advantages: The main advantage of phytoextraction is environmental friendliness. Traditional methods that are used for cleaning up heavy metal-contaminated soil disrupt soil structure and reduce soil productivity, whereas phytoextraction can clean up the soil without causing any kind of harm to soil quality. Another benefit of phytoextraction is that it is less expensive than any other clean-up process.

Disadvantages: As this process is controlled by plants, it takes more time than anthropogenic soil clean-up methods.

Two versions of phytoextraction:

natural hyper-accumulation, where plants naturally take up the contaminants in soil unassisted, and
induced or assisted hyper-accumulation, in which a conditioning fluid containing a chelator or another agent is added to soil to increase metal solubility or mobilization so that the plants can absorb them more easily. In many cases natural hyperaccumulators are metallophyte plants that can tolerate and incorporate high levels of toxic metals.

Examples of phytoextraction (see also 'Table of hyperaccumulators'):

Arsenic, using the Sunflower (Helianthus annuus), or the Chinese Brake fern (Pteris vittata), a hyperaccumulator. Chinese Brake fern stores arsenic in its leaves.

Cadmium, using Willow (Salix viminalis): In 1999, one research experiment performed by Maria Greger and Tommy Landberg suggested Willow (Salix viminlais) has a significant potential as a phytoextractor of Cadmium (Cd), Zinc (Zn), and

Copper (Cu), as willow has some specific characteristics like high transport capacity of heavy metals from root to shoot and huge amount of biomass production; can be used also for production of bio energy in the biomass energy power plant.[2]
Cadmium and zinc, using Alpine pennycress (Thlaspi caerulescens), a hyperaccumulator of these metals at levels that would be toxic to many plants. On the other hand, the presence of copper seems to impair its growth (see table for reference).

Lead, using Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea), Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), Hemp Dogbane (Apocynum cannabinum), or Poplar trees, which sequester lead in their biomass.
Salt-tolerant (moderately halophytic) barley and/or sugar beets are commonly used for the extraction of Sodium chloride (common salt) to reclaim fields that were previously flooded by sea water.

Caesium-137 and strontium-90 were removed from a pond using sunflowers after the Chernobyl accident.[3]
Mercury, selenium and organic pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been removed from soils by transgenic plants containing genes for bacterial enzymes.[4]

Updated 4/19/11 I am in the process of developing this following article for my blog but thought I would put it up here first... open for suggestions.. all the previous articles do not deal with dosages! most people are clueless on dosages... I hope for it to be more user friendly than the previous articles and my sources come from there as well as other places... please check back as I will be updating info again as I gather it.

This article is advice given for the detox of radiation. I have excluded sources and research. If you need to know that please proceed on your own. The article is designed to be a quick reference on applications of detox protocols for various forms of radiation.

1. Baking Soda – to protect kidneys by making the uranyl ion less toxic and it will promote the excretion of the uranium carbonate complex. Baking soda is used to clean uranium contaminated soil. Sodium bicarb binds to uranium. It is recommended by the US Army for radiation exposure.

Take orally:
One teaspoon in water in am and pm on an empty stomach.

If inhalation of radioactive materials is a concern the nebulization of baking soda and glutathione is essential. Mix is with sodium chloride water (normal saline) Just use the same equipment for nebulization as used for asthma treatments. Or any air blower or oxygen tank that can connect to a nebulizer. A nebulizer can be purchased from plasmafire.com along with a face mask for applications on children if you think you might need it. Dosages?

There is controversy as to whether Arm and Hammer baking soda is aluminum free. I suggest that you use Bob’s Baking Soda available from www.Iherb.com (http://www.iherb.com/) If you have or can get nothing else use Arm and Hammer, as radiation sickness is much more severe that the traces of aluminum you might receive, which can be detoxed later. My understanding is that baking soda in Europe is aluminum free but double check.

2. Apple Pectin - studies in children exposed after Chernobly revealed that apple pectin significantly helped to detox radioactive cesium. Take it daily. Availabe from iherb.

3. Lugols Iodine

If you have not been supplementing with Lugols iodine you will have to do a loading dose as most citizens of the US are iodine deficient. Below is the protocol. Excess iodine is readily eliminated from the kidneys. If you have thyroid issues and are on a thyroid hormone you will have to have your thyroid levels checked in 4 to 6 weeks as you likely will need your hormone dosages reduced. Do not fail to do this. If you have Hashimotos disease I strongly recommend that you follow the protocols of Dr Haskin’s from Salt Lake City. He has a book on Hashimoto’s Disease and how to correctly treat it available on www.amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/) Do not take iodine until you have read this book if you have Hashimoto’s disease.

Lugols loading dose = 8 drops daily for 3 months
12.5mg is maintenance dose after that (2 drops)

15 mg is upper maximum daily dosage after you have completed the loading dose for safety in most cases. That being said I have dosed at 3 drops four to five times a week for 3 years and have done very well.

You can purchase Lugol’s Iodine from Eucador from one of the most reputable distributors I know. Purchase their 15% percent solution and cut it with water,,. 1/3 of the one ounce bottle with water added to make one ounce. This way you will have 3 one ounce bottles of 5% solution for about $15. If you prefer a 7% solution as many of the old time formulas recommend just make two one ounce bottles out of it.

If cancer should become an issue you will want to look into using baking soda as a treatment as well as some of these products offered by Herbalhealers.com

There are a lot of arguments on which kind of iodine to use. I have chosen Lugol’s iodine based on the research of Drs. Abraham, Flechas, Brownstein, the clinincal experience of Jonathan Wright and others. Edgar Cayce says to use Nascient Iodine. It is up to you. The following protocol is for Lugols iodine.
Remember radioactive iodine has an 8.5 day half life. In 85 days it will be just about nonexistent. Holding harvests for 30 to 60 days before consumption should be sufficient, but I am still unsure on this.. But remember, if there is radioactive iodine present are you sure the other elements like plutonium, cesium and uranium are not there?

Another issue regarding radio active iodine if it is found in your water supply. Authorities state that it is safe to shower in. I disagree. The skin is capable of absorbing many minerals topically, especially when the water temp is hot and your skin pours are open. Many conventional drugs are applied topically in cream forms due to the skins ability to absorb drugs without needing to go through the digestive system. If you must shower or wash at least use cold or very lukewarm water if you suspect radioactive materials in the water. Avoid it if you can.

4. Miso, temphe and sea kelp is very helpful in radioactive iodine protection. Due to the large amounts of these foods Japanese traditionally ate, they had far lower incidences of thyroid cancer than anticipated after the WWII bombing of Japan. Eating a combination of brown rice, seaweed and miso regularly will be helpful. If radiation exposure continues for a long time and sea water comes into question you will have to carefully examine your sources of kelp. The fiber in brown rice will help keep the digestive system moving radiation out. So will buckwheat and flax seed. It is not a good time to get constipated.

Miso soup should be taken daily. Do not boil miso. It is a living food. Have your water under 115 degrees when you mix it up

5. Glutatione – purchase and use Jarrow Whey daily. Eat Lots of broccoli and cauliflower to stimulate glutathione pathways. If exposure is severe IV administration of glutathione with vitamin c and baking soda may be provided by some MDs and some Naturopathic physicians. It may be good to store Jarrow Whey if the meat supply becomes contaminated and you have been relying on meat for your protein source and if you think you are someone who requires above average levels of protein. A combination of beans and rice also provides complete protein complexes, but whey will boost the glutathione system.

6. Magnesium baths (standard Epsom salts) with a bentonite clay added may be helpful to pull heavy metals out. Use up to one pound each. Bentonite clay is more palatable for oral administration than regular clay products which would be good for poultice or tub bath. Do not do detox baths more than once a day

7. Herbs/plant medicine Cilantro will move heavy metals out of the body into the intestines. Purchase cilantro tincture. East fresh cilanto if you can get it also.. best to stock tincture ahead of time.
Then Use Chlorella to bind the metals in the intestines it and carry it out via the stool. Spirulina is helpful too. If the metal ions are not bound and carried out they tend to be reabsorbed.
Dosages on these will be at least 1000mg daily for chlorella. For spirulina follow package instructions.. If you think you have been seriously dosed with radiation you must consider doubling and tripling all dosages. It must become your daily task with focus.

Other herbs: Aloe Vera internally and topically, cucurmin and ginko biloba orally.
Burdock root and dandelion and milk thistle to stimulate detox of the liver. They are all anti cancer adjunctive herbs.

I have been using Pine Bark Extract for a number of years. It is a powerful anti-oxidant
And I would not leave it out of any regimen. Reverstatrol is another consideration.
Remember, if you are bombarded with radiation, your body, in its developing disease processes will respond with an abundance of free radicals that need to be contended with.
Please see my article on Protandim at:
http://www.healthsalon.org/504/prota...e-aging-clock/ (http://www.healthsalon.org/504/prota...e-aging-clock/)

Change your drinking habits to green or white tea, 2 to 6 cups a day.

8. Supplements

R -Alpha lipoic Acid 600mg with 500mg L Carnatine
If radiation exposure is severe double or triple the dosage. The above is a standard daily dosage for detox of free radicals.

Vitamin D3 is essential and should be supplemented with or without radiation exposure.
If you never have supplemented before take 10,000 IU a day for 2 weeks, then reduce to 5,000 IU daily. It is not yet known if D3 in higher dosages will be helpful for radiation contamination. Search my archives for my D3 article for further information. Radioactive Strontium will deplete vitamin D.
The best product I have found is Biotec 3. found at a good price at
www.vitalady.com (http://www.vitalady.com/) Her own brand is the same product with her lable, a little less expensive.

Vitamin C - Mega dosages of vitamin c will help to maintain internal metabolic stability. There is now a way to make oral administrations of vitamin c at home that will equal in effectiveness IV administration. Also, in pill form, liposomal C is better utilized and you can reach IV levels orally.. www.Livonlabs.com (http://www.livonlabs.com/) is one source, but you can make your own. You can also purchase it at iherb for a better price:
http://www.iherb.com/LivOn-Laboratories-Lypo-Spheric-Vitamin-C-30-Packets-0-2-fl-oz-5-7-ml-Each/25231?at=0 (http://www.iherb.com/LivOn-Laboratories-Lypo-Spheric-Vitamin-C-30-Packets-0-2-fl-oz-5-7-ml-Each/25231?at=0)

This site will teach you how to make homemade Lipsomal Vitamin C that is as bioactive as IV vitamin c.

If you are using oral ascorbic acid learn about administration to bowel tolerance.
go here and put bowel tolerance in their search bar. www.vitamincfoundation.org (http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/)

B complex, to protect the nervous system, which includes all the complex. If dosage is severe consider a B12 injection daily or weekly. If you do a daily injection 1000mcg is required as commonly found in the USA. Request a methylcabalomin form of the vitamin. It may have to be special ordered. Some B12 injections contain other B vitamins such as found in Bedoyecta Tri (10,000 mcg B12, B1 100mg, B6 50mg) which is available in Mexico over the counter. Note the high dosage of B12? This is considered a routine dosage in Mexico. One injection per week.
B12 injections are especially important if you use antacid proton pump inhibitor drugs or have reflux disease in general.

Strontium supplements, one tablet a day of recommended dosage. If you are likely being subjected to radioactive strontium 90 you need to supplement with strontium. Strontium is a mineral that is a component of strong bones and is present in all bone material. If you are deficient in strontium intake your receptor sites will pick up strontium 90 in bone receptor sites and it can cause bone cancer.

Selenium 200mcg a day, should be taken by most people daily anyway to help prevent cancer and it should be taken if you are supplementing with iodine.

Gamma Tocotrienol form of vitamin E complex

9. Highlands Bioplama Cell Salts daily from Iherb

10. Infection: If infection occurs and because radiation can so deplete and damage the immune system some people may end up fighting infections also I recommend all the nutrients above as well as the following to contend with infection. Also avoid sugars, and white flour products as these stress the immune system

Colloidal Silver…
MMS - see www.jimhumble.biz (http://www.jimhumble.biz/) for application instructions
Beta Glucans… I have been very impressed on the ability of this product to activate the immune response system in a balanced way. Solar or NOW I have had experience with and brand are effective. If you can afford it Transfer factor is the Cadillac of products.
Manuka honey for topical infections, abscesse

11. Have rain gear available. Avoid going out in the rain. Cover all body parts. When you return home wash the exterior of your rain gear off. Take a shower if you got wet from the rain.
Rinse your shower out. Dont track into the house. Place newspapers down if necessary.

12. Practice Ti Chi or Q Gong to open your meridians, dissolve blockages, and fortify your immune system.

13. Educate Yourself Further: Dr Loret is a geo-physist and a peace activist as well as a Quaker. She has worked at Livermore Labs and Los Alamos. She is called to counsel on numerous nulcear projects and meetings. I suggest that you view this video with your partner... its a lot to handle alone, but none the less, the information must get out there.
