This Health Watch is the most sobering Health Watch I've had to write. And I imagine it will be a sobering experience for you to read. It is a basic how-to paper for surviving radiation exposure from a nuclear attack, nuclear fallout, nuclear power plant accident and radioactive material. Political leaders around the world seem to be waltzing toward using nuclear weapons or provoking others to use them. And just about anyone—including terrorists—can get their hands on the components and instructions for making their own nuclear weapons. Old, outdated nuclear weapons and submarines are being junked and stockpiled carelessly in ways that could threaten our survival in the near future. What control we had around nuclear weapons - development and use has evaporated, leaving civilians around the world with the very real task of figuring out what to do to survive a nuclear event.

If you are serious about using Perelandra tools and processes to get you, your family and friends through a disaster such as this, I suggest that you create a Perelandra disaster response kit. Keep it in an easy-to-locate box or canvas bag. Make hard copies of this paper (Health Watch 9) along with Health Watch 5A (preparation for biological weapons use and exposure to serious infectious diseases), Health Watch 7 (exposure to and injury from chemical weapons use) and Health Watch 5B (dealing with infectious diseases resulting from biological weapons use). You might want to add Health Watch 8 (dealing with stress while dealing with the "fallout" from biological, chemical and nuclear weapons) to your Health Watch disaster kit. The reason for the hard copies: You might be in a situation where public utilities such as electricity have gone down and you won't be able to access these Health Watches from our web site. Also make sure you have copies of the steps for all the programs and processes you plan to use. I suggest that during times when it seems more likely that government leaders are going to go mad enough to use these weapons that you consider keeping a good stock of the MBP Balancing Solutions, essences and MBP balancers (the MBP Expanded Balancing Kit balancers) in your disaster response kit to keep you, your family and friends going for awhile—at least a month. It's quite possible that not only the utilities could be disrupted but the post offices and delivery services, as well. In that case, we won't be able to get the supplies you need shipped to you. I don't mean this as advice to scare you to death. I offer this in the spirit of planning ahead and being prepared. For me, being prepared in reasonable and responsible ways gives me more peace of mind and alleviates stress around a potential problem.

One thing to consider when thinking about the fragile state our world is in right now is that the kinds of weapons we are talking about are not regional in their effect. When someone fires a gun, the physical effect is confined to either their target or whatever they hit when they missed the target. A bomb, whether biological, chemical or nuclear, used in one part of the world will physically impact us all to one degree or another. Soldiers and civilians moving in and out of the epicenter will carry biological, chemical and nuclear fallout on their bodies, clothes and personal property into any outside location they travel to. Atmospheric winds and jet streams will spread fallout to everyone. Waterways all flow into one another. Any contaminants that enter waterways in one region of the world will wash to other regions via water currents. In short, the use of biological, chemical and nuclear weapons in one small area of the world—New York City, Tahiti, Kansas or Baghdad—does not remain isolated to that area. This is one situation we cannot dodge.

When putting together these Health Watches, I have been impressed by several things. First is the flexibility of the Perelandra tools and how they can easily and effectively address situations as serious as biological, chemical and nuclear warfare, as well as situations such as HRT, stress, and problems around sewage sludge. This is one of the major results and benefits of working in co-creative science. Nature knows how to develop a process or tool that can address a wide range of situations.

Another thing that impressed me is how much control in our lives the Perelandra processes and tools give back to us. When thinking about leaders and events careening out of control and resulting in the use of these weapons, it's easy to feel like our life has been taken over by world events. By using what Perelandra has to offer, we can maintain a quality of life and health despite world events. And should any of us be faced with surviving a direct attack in our region or neighborhood and the supporting public health response goes down, we don't have to panic. We have a full array of self-help health and environmental care right at our fingertips and we can immediately work with them to address exposure or injury. In short, we are not left helpless.

About Health Watch 9: The list of processes and tools you may use is extensive and reflects the seriousness of the situation being addressed. You only need to choose what level you want to work on and which tools and processes on that level you wish to work with. I don't want you to feel that you are required to use everything. How much you work with is up to you and depends on what you want to accomplish with the Perelandra tools. Also, the Perelandra tools are compatible with other treatments and may be used in conjunction with these treatments—conventional or alternative. Using the tools Perelandra has to offer is not an either/or decision for you.
