Do Berkey water filters filter radioactive particles?
So, we use berkey water for everything...it's all we drink and cook with...should I feel safe in this? I mean, can isotopes be filtered?

Isotopes cannot be filtered with a Berkey! The only thing I know of is quite simply, the earth. You can make your own earthen filter...better than any Berkey - and I own a Berkey as well :) Just do a Youtube search - many survivalist types show your how to make one.

I only know of one filter that removes radioactive particles. I have been researching this topic since the earthquake. The TRAP filter removes radioisotopes from water. I am one of the few who sells them. [link to www.highwaterfilters.com]

No none of the retail water filters take out radiation.
You have to buy a specific commercial kind or build your own which is rather simple to filter radiation.

No, but the human body does a wonderful job of it. Filters most of it and holds on to it, not allowing it to escape and pollute the Earth. Nice, eh?

Anyhow, google "jim mccanney radiation filter"
