How to survive a nuke 101: As world teeters on brink of war, doctor shares morbid guide that includes fattening up to avoid starvation and evacuating from these US hotspots

As humanity teeters on the brink of World War III, a doctor has shared a morbid guide about surviving nuclear fallout.

Abud Bakri MD, a residency physician in California, combed through mountains of research papers to see how the US handled previous threats to create the ultimate survival guide for a looming nuclear fallout.

He concluded there are three acute survival concepts: distance from a nuclear blast, time exposed to radiation and proper shielding.

Bakri also warned that people with lean bodies may want to increase their body fat now, as food could be scarce after the first bombs drop.

There are at least 12,500 nuclear warheads worldwide.

Paul Gambles, co-founder of MBMG Group, told Bloomberg that we are closer to World War III now than we have ever been in the past.

Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, which saw the US swiftly respond to Ukraine’s aid.

The two Eastern nations have been at war since 2014, but the recent invasion was the most significant attack on a European country since World War II.

In addition, fighting in the Middle East has also been reignited after Hamas’ deadly terrorist attack on Israel.

Bakri shared his guide on X, explaining he analyzed data from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), World Health Organization (WHO) and the US federal government.

‘This is what I’m going to do to try and save my family. [This is] general information [and] not medical advice, he shared.

Consuming more calories is crucial for survival

While most medical professionals tell people to steer clear of processed food, Bakri said people will want to stock up in the event of a nuclear fallout.

This is because food may be scarce, and people want to consume as many calories as possible to survive.

According to the US government website Ready, canned foods, dry mixes and other items that do not need refrigeration, cooking or water are ideal for disasters.

The website shared several foods to have on hand: canned meats, fruits, and vegetables; protein or fruit bars, dry cereal or granola; peanut butter; dried fruit; canned juices; and non-perishable pasteurized milk.

Bakri also noted that fasting could occur.

He shared that each pound of fat you have equals one and a half days of energy.

‘Might be wise to be adapted from now as the first few days will be BRUTAL Might be wise to not be TOO LEAN (fit influencers with five percent [body fat] will not have enough calories to survive),’ Bakri posted.

Bakri also suggested that people should have battery-powered or hand-crank radios due to the electromagnetic pulses from the blast knocking out all electronics

Your distance from the blast zone could mean life or death 

Bakri shared: ‘Just like in real estate, the key to survival is location, location, location.’

When a nuclear bomb makes an impact, it sends a shockwave that can extend about half of a mile from the target.

Thermal damage can extend about one mile, flying debris can travel up to a few miles and radiation from the blast could reach people within three-fourths of a mile from the explosion site.

According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, radioactive fallout occurs in an irregular elliptical pattern in the direction the wind blows, and lethal radiation could extend up to six miles.

Bakri also highlighted the fact that there are certain hotspots where enemies will likely attack first.

The hotspots in the US are home to intercontinental ballistic missile silos, which are located in five states: Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana, and North Dakota.

The US government deliberately set up these sites during the Cold War with the former Soviet Union – in the event of an attack, bombs would fall on sparsely populated areas.

These areas were known as ‘Nuclear Sponge’ states to be sacrificed.
