sending...
Just got my rad alert inspector set up.
Oahu, Hawaii
.05 to .11 microSv per hour, that is roughly .4 to .9 millSv per year (for simplicity I use an 8 multiplier), which is really low, checked the low lying areas where water would collect, no discernible difference
Wiped windshield, the whole thing, and reading went from .06 up to .1
2 HEPA filters, very dirty, been running over 30 days 24/7, readings went up to around .2, which is still only 1.6mSv per year.
This is really good, at this moment Hawaii looks "safe"
Now the hard part….sending my inspector to Japan to a family that needs one. Buying another……another long wait, but I guess it takes Japanese people 9 month wait list to get a geiger.

It's reasonably safe but it's more than just a msv/year thing. You have the water contamination of iodine which will be away now. Ingestion and accumulation of hot particles. But at those levels it would indicate that it's not been impacted hard and it's not much of a concern for people living there.

New here, been lurking for the past month though. Being a Vancouver Isle resident the current conditions here would be very useful to me if anyone with a gieger is in the same area. I've been thinking about mentioning the things I've seen here and around the web to my boss, I work in a grocery store so this food contamination concerns me greatly. Unfortunately since most of the sources are easily discredited I am having a hard time believing I can convince him, let alone that the fact that this would not only this damage company sales but there is also a chance of doubt/panic from the local public here and of course I have a home to think about. Also I've been wondering is simple heavy metal chelation a good protection against any contamination or will I have to go further than this?

Don't sweat errors enenews doesn't let you edit. We'll figure what you mean.
Heavy metal Chelation won't help much. The major contamination concern is cesium, a potassium analog. Heavy elements like plutonium and uranium are typically inhaled and lodge in the lungs so chelation won't get them.
Sorry if that's a downer, but thAts how it is. No shortcuts available.

BRICS,
Welcome, good to see you! If I remember correctly, I think Mark posts on the Radiation data thread (find the link on the right side) with some reassuring numbers from a Vancouver-ish location.
Also, check out the Methods for combatting radiation thread (link also on the right) for info. A lot of the popular chelation herbs, etc, do seem to be used with radiation too. Chernobyl suggests that avoiding milk and taking apple pectin with meals helps somewhat.
Geigers are not sensitive enough to detect the radiation in food unless it is really bad, we need scintillators for that, apparently, which are expensive, or to learn how to build them ourselves. Quite a learning curve! A lot of knowledgeable people here, you are in the right place to ask them questions.
Report Comment
ty NoNukes Avoiding milk is going to take some getting used to, I like to have a quick bowl of cereal in the morning gonna miss that :/ Also thought I should mention oranges are a regular part of my diet so I guess that's why I'm still in good health. Being of average income doesn't help my situation at all or the rest of my family's. My mother and wife are of the same mind, "whatever happens, happens there's no helping the situation cause it's just too big of a problem." it's really hard for me to believe otherwise as I said before the sources are so easily discredited as "fear mongering" or made up it's so damn frustrating! The hardest member of my family to convince will be my father, mostly cause he's a Mason (low-level mind you he's only been with them for a couple of years) please don't judge him for it he really is a good man. Chances are he will doubt everything I have to say about them.

Your family sounds just like my family and friends! When I think about inhaling plutonium, as gotta mentions above, they really do have a point. I don't mind avoiding fish, seaweed, mushrooms, though. If they are right and I am wrong, then no big harm done, but the reverse is not the case.
I would start with the familiar, like apple pectin, high doses of Vit C (Ester C), Vit E, Vit D, etc. then move onto the chlorella, etc…if you tell them that it is great for weight loss, they might steal it from you, it might even be true
. The pectin on those oranges you are eating is in all the white parts, some people just peel off the thinnest amount of the orange skin possible and throw them in a blender, etc.
The Chernobyl study found pectin to reduce the load of of radioactive cesium by 62%, so, why not? The only problem that I can think of is that so many of our apples are now probably radioactive, it may be better to stick to citrus pectin, who knows?
http://www.naturalnews.com/031969_apple_pectin_radiation.html
I mention the milk because I remember that one doctor in Chernobyl said that 70% of the problem could have been avoided if people skipped milk. That was a different context. I have been drinking hazelnut milk (Oregon) and Hemp milk (BC?), but is that is any better?

O/T, but if you get ahold of Albert Pike's book Morals and Dogma there is some interesting stuff you & your Dad would probably want to know about. See page 321. Or check online. I do not advocate Freemasonry for anyone.

Thanks for the reference, although a friend of mine at work is a great resource (he's researched for the past decade maybe longer) and there's also youtube and revolutionarypolitics.tv it is greatly appreciated.

I find I feel a lot better if I take apple or citrus pectin on a regular basis. I'm in California, and I think there is a lot of Cesium here. The pectin pulled up to 60% of the cesium out of the bodies of people tested in one experiment, post-Chernobyl.
GreenMedInfo.com has a lot of great peer related articles on mitigating the effects of radiation, but you might have to pay for a subscription to get the data & read the studies.
IMHO taking detox baths, keeping shoes out of the house, adding a bit of baking soda to wash water for dishes & clothes, and borax in laundry helps.
Have been taking baths with baking soda, French green clay, and epsom salts for about a year. This, too, seems to help. I get considerable fatigue when I skip the pectin and esp. the detox baths.
I also take 1 drop of 2.5% Lugol's iodine solution daily. That's a very small dose, so it's probably safe. The "caveat" is check with your doctor to ensure it won't affect your thyroid. I'm not comfortable thinking there won't be more radioactive iodine since there have been many re-criticalities. Hoewever, I'm not a nuke expert, so maybe there isn't ongoing risk of radioactive iodine. (Maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in on that. Please do.)
Keep up a healthy intake of minerals, esp. calcium, magnesium, and potassium. This will help to keep your body from taking up radioisotopes in food. Many of the radioisotopes mimic minerals in the body.
The forum area has a lot of other great info.
Report Comment
BTW, I'm not saying your body WON'T uptake radioisotopes if you don't do the things above, but if you're mineral depleted, your body will grab radioisotopes "thinking" they are normal minerals such as calcium, magnesium, etc.

Chelation works really well if the heavy metals are still in your blood, but the bad part is they don't stay in your blood, they move to your bones and organs within a day or so.
And I don't think chelation is simple, there are hazards.

re: Hawaii numbers
That seems really good…
I think the whole force of the Jet Stream is pushing north.
We are likewise catching a break on the SE US coast (DC area).
The air seems so much lighter and fresher than during the heavy
Jet Stream cover days we had earlier in the fall and winter…
It's noticeably better. I just wish some real meteorologists
could make predictions about what is happening now in the atmosphere and with the rains. If it just keeps accumulating in the upper atmosphere…what then??
And some soil and water scientists should weigh in… What happens in terms of dispersion? if the fallout lessens, will contamination taper off quickly? Can microbes in the soil break down some of the radioactive deposition that certainly has collected over the past year and when?? What can be done?? Lots of questions–that's for sure!!

I just want to add a good note as well…
Not yet, anyway. I've even been seeing
I can't believe
The birds around D.C./VA are still singing up

but we are not seeing the 90% reduction levels of
N. Japan.
the little sparrows and warblers that seemed more scarce
earlier in the disaster and I saw a pair of mourning doves.
Someone had mentioned that they respond poorly to toxins.
All of these birds look quite healthy here…
Just an amateur viewpoint!~
It's great to hear them singing!!
they are all but getting wiped out in Fukushima. (per

I think the low bird counts are from the BP oil spill. The lake behind my house went from hundreds of pairs down to just ten or twenty last year. I'm hoping they come back.

I live in California and the other day I picked a dandelion which almost had TWO FLOWER HEADS on one big stem. An obvious mutation. You could see where it had begun to split into two. I took it home but by the time I got here it was wilted. Looking at others though, and there does seem to be a lot of dandelions in lawns lately, they look distorted, groups of sick looking dandelion stems and flowers on single plants. Don't know if that's normal or if they are usually one flower per plant.
Anyway, just thought I'd mention it.
Report Comment
Ron, that is NOT normal. You'll see multiple dandelion flowers in one healthy plant, but never two heads coming out of one flower or stalk.
Someone here, I think maybe James Tekton, took pictures of mutated dandelions last year. He lives in Colorado.
Report Comment
Speaking of plant mutations, as I mentioned in my intro post I work in a grocery store (produce section to be specific) been seeing a few odd looking potatoes, strawberries, etc. lately honestly never seen anything like it in the past 6 years I've been there. Really don't feel comfortable putting this stuff on the shelves but as I said before I have a home to support it's not that easy for me to risk my job over this I know lives are at stake here but it's just so hard to get people to listen and like I said they won't want to jeopardize profits or possible panic from the public over a bunch of easily discredited independent news.

Here is a good site for some information for personal radiation protection.
http://www.naturalnews.com/031728_nuclear_contamination_glutathione.html
All last year I put a pinch of baking soda in my coffee pot everyday to minimize some of the contamination effects from Fukushima. I also bought Iodized table salt and use it several times per week along with ground flax seed on my sandwiches etc.
The reason we have all may not have gotten cancer/disease yet or maybe even symptoms from all this recent fallout is because there are to few of us on the planet. Let me put this into context. The entire world's human population can fit inside the state of Texas with 1000sq. ft. each. The entire population of the US could fit inside the state New Hampshire. By the world's standard the planet is void of humans. Even though they have trashed the entire planet with radiation there is still hope you will not be affected in your lifetime.
So we have a crap shoot of contamination potential. Its pure bad luck and chance at this point that you might be exposed to the right radiation contamination isotopes in the right way to cause you personal injury and or cancer and disease. So its projected that 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women are going to get some form of cancer and or related diseases.
Simple math is this: 3 out of every 5 people or worldwide 7 billion divided by 5 = 1.4 billion x 3 = 4.2 billion people worldwide will get cancer living today if they live long enough and or do not die from something else.
The cancer/disease numbers will simply keep climbing as any long term radioactive isotopes bio-accumulate in our ecosystem and circulate around the planet. The more that is released the better the odds are that you will get cancer and or related diseases.
The longer Fukushima releases radiation the higher the cancer epidemic rates for all humans and other biological life forms.
This is why the cancer rates around Nuclear Power Plants and in Nuclear Nations…
Report Comment
continue to increase. When they shut down these Nuclear Power Plants the result is that cancer and disease rates go down.
Its best to know where you are residing and or where you are planning to live. I would avoid being around any Nuclear facilities and also avoid any foods that you think might be contaminated.
Take appropriate common sense precautions and then cross your fingers.
Remember we are dealing with money grubbing psychopaths that will sell their souls to the devil. It is what it is.
Surely they have read the medical journals and now realize that there is no safe level of exposure to man made nuclear radiation contamination.
Then we must ask them and ourselves this question.
Why are we still producing and promoting more of this radioactive contamination and related technology on our only planet?
Report Comment
oops..fuzzy math. 2 out of 5 people or 7 billion divided by 5 = 1.4 billion x 2 people = 2.8 billion people worldwide are projected to get a form of cancer and or related disease in their lifetimes.
Sorry about that..but the higher cancer/disease numbers will be in the counties with the most Nuclear Industry Technology Practice and or downwind from such frequent or about every 20 year cycle of nuclear plant meltdowns the world is currently experiencing.
Now when you realize the age of the current Nuclear Power Plants in operation, you then realize the exponential potential of more rapid meltdowns occurring around the world.
That would throw the above worldwide cancer/disease projections and numbers into a tailspin. These disease rate numbers would increase much faster.
Unless all plants are decommissioned properly and shut down based on their projected safe operating practice time frames, which I believe is around 20 years, then we may hold the above projections.
If we extend the life of these plants and do not shut them all down properly and then leave this Nuclear Technology behind, well.
Then all bets are off!
Report Comment
In the US, the cancer rate was 1 in 2 before the accident at Fukushima. It will be higher now.
Report Comment
anne,
Yes, you are correct and I guess the 3 in 5 humans will now probably be more appropriate for worldwide cancer rates.
Its so sad that the US that developed this technology and then those nations they shared it with will actually be the ones that have the greatest amount of cancer and disease from its applications.
How Ironic that the most powerful and advanced nation in the entire world would risk destroying and or sickening their own populations.
I guess the US is not that advanced after all.
So much for all that higher education mantra that is constantly being promoted.
Smart and intelligent young sick and or dead people leaving massive debt is just what a thriving nation needs to prosper.

I am posting on FB too despite the surveillence. My inspector alert measured pollen and dust on the interior floor of my screen room here in the hills south of St Louis MO, dust and pollen and a few bat or squirrel droppings mixed in, a pile about one foot square and 1/8 thick…only to find three to four times background radiation level. Interior ambient air remains constant at about 25 to 30 CPM using a ten minute quick average, with the same yardstick (I know it is a short time) for the measurement on the pollen. It is ywllow pollen, everywhere, on everything, and certainly inhaled by most of us who live in the hills. But what part might be yellow cake (fallout) from FuKu or San Onofre or Fort in NB or Hancock in Wash state…I want to know. The reaeding was three to four times higher than background. On a similar note, a melon imported from Honduras rang the bells at four to five times above normal. I did not eat it. All of what I have been buying at WHole Foods from CA or western states (except apples from Wash State which I refuse to buy) have not tested abnormal or even one time above normals. I hope I am using it correctly and I know that longer readings will be accurate, and that the pancake tube may not be optimal for food readings. But I have some peace of mind by the testing, and know that I don't want to track any of that yellow dust into my house, onto my pet's food, etc.. Anybody in midwest US with a monitor pls. contact me. I am not on network…
