Not much news on Fukushima crosses the ocean to our side of the globe anymore, but for thousands of Japanese children and evacuees, the suffering is hardly winding down. About 41 percent of 57,000 children have tested positive for early signs of possible thyroid cancer,\u00a0and four out of five evacuees are experiencing thyroid abnormalities. Even doctors in Tokyo are noticing a sharply increased rate of strange symptoms among residents. Government officials, however, are doing their best to keep it quiet.<\/p>\n
In fact, they\u2019re blaming it on excessive seafood intake.<\/p>\n
While it\u2019s true that fish captured near the now inoperative nuclear plant do show 258 times\u00a0what the government deems\u00a0the \u201csafe\u201d level of radiation,\u00a0\u00a0radiation levels exceed evacuations zones\u00a0beyond Tokyo late last year. If aquatic life throughout the Pacific has suffered and radioactive isotopes have been found in California topsoil, it\u2019s a safe bet\u00a0that the people complaining of incurable diarrhea, flu-like symptoms, and more in Tokyo aren\u2019t just eating too much seafood. In fact, cesium-37 isotopes have longer half-lives than iodide isotopes, both of which affect thyroid glands. (You can read here\u00a0for more about radioactive half-life.)<\/p>\n
This barrage of evidence is obviously making the government squeamish, since, despite the thousands of children needing treatment, an official decree is to stop testing before it\u2019s implemented in other areas by concerned citizens. One Japanese pediatrician\u00a0has asked on YouTube for outside help since the government has apparently prioritized outward appearances over their own citizens\u2019 health, and many parents are calling for the truth.<\/p>\n

Anyone who\u2019s read any of our updates on mining-induced sunkholes\u00a0or government-backed Big Pharma knows that certain Japanese government officials are hardly alone in worshipping the almighty market. Many regions have moved away from oil and gone on to more \u201csustainable\u201d energy sources\u00a0like nuclear energy, but the latter is hardly the clean solution it\u2019s touted as being.<\/p>\n
Onkalo, Finland\u2019s underground radioactive waste bunker, will not be the last to entomb power plants\u2019 used fuel rods, which remain radioactive for centuries. The American military even uses such depleted uranium (DU) in ammunition to penetrate armor, but these projectiles leave a radioactive mist wherever they are fired. In a manner of speaking, the American government has been waging nuclear war in the Middle East\u00a0for quite some time, and will leave the region\u2019s soil and water contaminated for millennia.<\/p>\n
Radiation is safe at no dose, but you can protect yourself\u00a0from it in many ways.<\/p>\n
