- Local Paper: Now 1,143 Fukushima children with lumps on thyroid gland, not 26 -- Nearly 1 in every 3 kids tested -- "Gov't has decided they are benign"
- Gundersen: 1/3 of Fukushima kids tested positive for lumps on thyroid -- Forebodes some real issues in future -- We're only 10 months into the accident here (AUDIO)
- Radio: "Something new in the history of medicine is happening at Fukushima" says physician -- 30% of children tested had thyroid lumps -- "Now that's really early, that's within the first year, that's unheard of" (AUDIO)
Title: Radiation Risks from Fukushima Are Likely to Be Less than for Chernobyl

[...] Mitsuyoshi Urashima, MD, PhD, MPH, a pediatric oncologist and molecular epidemiologist at the Jikei University School of Medicine in Tokyo, has taken a leading role as a government advisor and in educating the public about the health effects of nuclear radiation following the Fukushima Daiichi reactor meltdowns. He has also written a book for the public on the subject.
Urashima [...] also serves as a consultant for the city of Kouri, outside the evacuation zone [...]
Most people in Fukushima prefecture in Japan evacuated from highly contaminated areas following reactor meltdowns, according to Japanese pediatric oncologist and epidemiologist Mitsuyoshi Urashima, and Fukushima city has the highest radiation levels among residential areas. [...]
About 30 percent of more than 3,000 children tested to date have had thyroid nodules, but it is unclear whether this represents an abnormally high percentage, Urashima said. No thyroid cancers have been detected thus far. However, early screening result may point to an elevated incidence of abnormal thyroid function.
[...] Urashima said monitoring of environmental exposures in Kouri indicates that there has been less exposure to radioactivity from the meltdowns than to radiation from normal background sources.

Urashima’s comparison of Fukushima fallout to normal background radiation sources makes his revelation regarding the abnormal thyroid function even more noteworthy.

shes been saying the same thing for months.. medical isotopes are good! shes says that "everyone agrees" .. not exactly!
Unnecessary CT Scans for Kids is like a Family Vacation to Fukushima
"An accumulated exposure to 100 millisieverts is known to cause cancer. In fact we are overusing CT scans so much that it is estimated to cause 29000 cases of cancer per year and resulting in 14,500 deaths which happens to be the same number of deaths from ovarian cancer per year."
"Kids are too often exposed to the same amount of radiation in a CT scan used for an adult and that means a young child can be exposed to 100 millisieverts for a CT scan of the head. Didn’t I just cite above that 100 millisieverts is known to cause cancer?"
CT Scans for Kids is like a Family Vacation to Fukushima????? thats pretty cols considering that children live in fukushima .. about 300 000 or more!! she could wrap her statistics around that fact!!
nuclear apologist
brainwashed nukebod

its a clever play she has, you need isotopes to cure cancer…only because the research into alternatives has been stifled to say the least!!

Don't we just know that given the Fukushima record on truth, that probably more like 70%, or all the children, had nodules.

seems clear to other doctors:

Gundersen: They tested 3,000 kids and more than a thousand came up with not tumors, they called them lumps [...]
Dr. Caldicott: [...] To find thyroid bumps in children is extremely, extremely rare… I’ve seen only one in my [pediatric] medical practice [...]
Gundersen: [...] The only thing they’re doing right now is just monitoring it [...] To see 1/3 of kids test positive for lumps in their thyroid, and we’re only 10 months into the accident here, that forebodes some real thyroid issues in the future.

Thyroid nodules were found in 28% of women in the Marshall Islands who were born before and during the nuclear tests in that area. The incidence in men was lower. How can 30% of children (of both sexes) having thyroid nodules be unclear?

…and the weapons a certain country is planning to use . . . This would do in a lot of thyroids …as would an attack on Iran.
But, is it largely true that these plants exist to make the weapons that Chernobylize and Fukeyize large sections of earth? Meaning, twisted chromosomes, feminization, lowered IQs, birth abnormalities (e.g. Belarus, Ukraine, S Iraq), cancers and other things for many generations to come.

North Korea wants nuclear weapon, Seoul warns ahead of rocket launch
Reuters Mar 19, 2012 – 8:04 AM ET | Last Updated: Mar 20, 2012 10:57 AM ET
“Our government defines North Korea’s so-called working satellite launch plan as a grave provocation to develop a long-distance delivery means for nuclear weapons by using ballistic missile technology,” presidential spokesman Park Jung-ha said in a statement.
Washington says the North’s long-range ballistic missile program is progressing quickly, and last year said the American mainland could come under threat within five years.
The secretive North has twice tested a nuclear device, but experts doubt whether it yet has the ability to miniaturize an atomic bomb to place atop a warhead.
Pyongyang is believed to have enough fissile material to make up to a dozen nuclear bombs, and in 2010 unveiled a uranium enrichment facility to go with its plutonium program which opened a second route to making an atomic weapon.
On Monday, President Lee Myung-bak met the foreign and security-related ministers to discuss the North’s surprise announcement, which also flies in the face of a UN Security Council resolution banning long-range missile launches.

Hi Pu239: Entergy and thyroid research have been in conflict before. Here's a clip from 2009.
http://www.midhudsonnews.com/News/2009/November09/17/IP_thyroid-17Nov09.html
There is huge pushback from the industry against Joseph Mangano's work – searchable, if you need it. The industry has long ago squandered its credibility for me. YMMV.

DID YOU SEE WHAT RUTH POSTED IN FORUM?!
WE NEED TO GET THIS NEWS OUT PRONTO!!
#Fukushima: OMG! Radiation Found To Be The #1 Cause of Tobacco-Related Cancers http://shar.es/pjXc3
It is well-established that 25-30% of all cancer are caused soley by tobacco consumption – a completely avoidable cause.
But what if the tobacco itself were not actually the primary cause of the cancer, but something else contaminating it? And what if it the tobacco industry knew this lethal contaminant was in their product, and even knew how to remove it, but did and said nothing for over 30 years in order to conceal this deadly secret from the public?
In 1998, major tobacco industries’ internal secret documents were made available online by the Master Settlement Agreement, revealing that the industry was aware of the presence of a radioactive substance in tobacco as early as 1959.

Wow….just wow.

Just more Nuclear Baloney (NB) from those that support Japanese Nuclear because they are being funded by them in some way or another!
While these folks posture and rake in YEN, the Japanese people are being exposed to massive amounts of radioactive pollution that they do not need so that TEPCO can increase it's profits…
