Downwinders Your Personal Survival Guide to an Uncertain Future

A downwinder is someone who lived in the radiation fallout pattern of the above ground Nevada Nuclear tests during the 1950's and in June of 1962. I watched my father, my father-in-law and my sister-in-law die of cancer caused by the radiation fallout they were exposed to. I have also lost many friends and acquaintances as a result of the Nevada tests. Helplessly watching a loved one die a slow and painful death affects a person. You can either let it tear you apart, or learn from it. I am simply a person that has experienced situations that I have chosen to learn from. I made a promise to myself that I would never let myself be helpless in a medical emergency, tragedy, or disaster again. If our country was attacked in the morning and they used germs, bacteria, viruses, radioactive fallout from a bomb or an attack on a nuclear power plant, are you even a little bit prepared? Do you have more than a few days of food and water in your home? Can you clean radiation from your food and water, and if so how? Do you have any potassium iodide? What about infections? If you get a heavy dose of radiation, it compromises your immune system and leaves you vulnerable to infections. Think of this book as real life insurance; insurance to keep you alive, not money to be used by others when you are gone. The government is simply unprepared for a potential national crisis of this magnitude. Remember, knowledge is power but only if you take action and prepare before an emergency situation develops. Please do not wait until it is TOO LATE.Bollin, Bill is the author of 'Downwinders Your Personal Survival Guide to an Uncertain Future' with ISBN 9781890035280 and ISBN 1890035289.
