Dr. Shuntaro Hida: Dangers of INTERNAL Radiation Exposure
NHK World
Uploaded by: rumorecurioso
Uploaded August 8, 2012
At 2:45 in
Doctor Shuntaro Hida: Still now the nature of the radiation damage cannot be understood from a medical point of view, nor can it be treated.
At 4:15 in
Hida: Internal radiation exposure is indeed dangerous. Once you absorb even a low dose it will cause damage.
At 4:45 in
Hida: You should spend the rest of your lives working together to shut down nuclear plants and abolish nuclear weapons.
At 5:25 in
Hida: The government and other elites say that people don’t need to worry about internal exposure. But I’ve seen evidence to the contrary.

It is Nagasaki this day. People lost their spirituality this day. And Fukushame perpetual resulted. Nations have not yet woken up from their slumber. See India and China going ahead with this deadened spirit of Nukes.

hi max
can you sense the slimy fingers of big PR. im a bit suspicious because even ogilvy and maher today has a similar story
"HIROSHIMA —
The scars that still mark Sunao Tsuboi’s face from the wartime bombing of Hiroshima are a grim reminder of the power of the atom as a wave of nuclear wariness sweeps post-Fukushima Japan.
Around 140,000 people perished instantly in the searing heat or from radiation in the days and months after a U.S. plane unleashed the deadliest weapon ever used and ushered in the nuclear age.
Nearly seven decades later, Tsuboi, one of a dwindling number of survivors of the first ever atomic attack, is raising his voice against nuclear power in a country still reeling from the tsunami-sparked catastrophe of March 2011.
“In terms of being nuclear victims, we are the same,” Tsuboi, 87, said of those affected by the Fukushima crisis…"
"..Scientists have warned it could be decades before it is safe for some people to return to their homes…" decades?? for the lawyers imo ..
"..“The atomic bomb was dropped in war and no one helped us, while the Fukushima accident occurred in peace time and a lot of people offered help.”…" ask the people of fukushima about the "help" they recieved!
"..Despite his own experience, Yonekura is resigned to the possibility that resource-poor Japan may not be able to abandon atomic power altogether.
“Nuclear power may be a necessary evil,” he said…"

Including the WHO. See how they turn round and contradict themselves at:
http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/90/8/11-094474/en/index.html
Look at the statements in this WHO article:
"..the effects of prolonged exposure to low-level radiation on human health have not yet been determined.4" and further down there:
"For elderly Japanese people reared in country villages, being torn from the land of their ancestors and moved to an unfamiliar environment can cause more stress and harm than direct exposure to radiation."
Such is the obfuscation that WHO is spreading in the face of ECRR 2003/2010 findings and Recommendations of Health Effects of Ionising Radiation Exposure at Low Doses for Radiation Protection Purposes at:

AND NOW here is The Obama administration and who else but HILLARY CLINTON and Canada wanting to raise the radiation levels to hide and not show the truth. Saying high doses of radiation does not harm you the lies and cover ups and the NON action of the government and the people have to do radiation checks in America, shows you that the one world order starting to rise up
Report Comment
They'll keep raising acceptable radiation levels until there isn't anyone left to read them.
The question is, what happens when everyone realizes this is an ELE, and the government is responsible for covering the whole thing up, until it was too late to do anything about it?
Ask for forgiveness? I don't think so. Not when their babies and children are suffering from the rad sickness and dying by the hundreds of thousands.
Hillary's betrayal to the mothers of this world will not go unnoticed.

Product of Thailand. There is even a town named USA–so product made in USA is on the label! Just ask about infant formulas! Just ask the dog owners whose dogs were poisoned by contaminated dog food–banned for sale from an Asian country–the products were "repackaged" and "made in USA" or "Thailand". And where do you think all the contaminated rice is? Mixed into everyones Asian rice products..or cereals. FDA had better do it job..Hillary or no Hillary. I like the idea of Hillary "retirement"..along with other US government officials who are treating US citizens like "unwashed masses". Noone is a KING in USA, not the President or a Senator! We are all equal.

Report Comment
One way to look at it is, if one is dying anyway, why limit the things you enjoy?
No reason to deny alcohol to a dying drunk, or a cigarette for someone in their last stages of lung cancer.
It becomes a question of quality of life, versus an unknown limited quantity of life.
This will be a personal choice we all have to make. All the food and water is contaminated now anyway, and the levels of contamination are only going to go higher, so who's to say?
I will say that the very thought of eating seafood makes my stomach turn. I'm on the fence about cheese, but at what point would I give up chicken and turkey, or the occasional bowl of rice?
My son has chosen 'death by sushi'. I won't join him, but there's nothing I can say.
Our reality is really going to change dramatically over the next few years. For many of us here, it already has.
Good luck to all of us. And my sincere prayers to those parents who have to make these decisions for their children.

Anyone in a position of power or authority who says that internal radiation does not matter should be silenced and put in jail. As should anyone even minimalizing the danger. Lives will be saved by people being knowledgeable and careful about what they eat, how they live and what precautions they take. On the flip side people in power saying there are no dangers are killing people, maybe not today but in 20 or 30 years.

We need more than 1 95 year old man, tireless as he may be. It's almost like NHK is trying to diminish and sideline this issue by relegating it to 1 old crusader who is nearing his demise, so we can wax nostalgically at how important this issue WAS related to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Where are the crusaders NOW for the ONGOING Fukushima crisis?
Report Comment
I would like to know why Doctor Hida waited over a year before he got around to releasing this information to his people and the world?
Radiation poisoning is not something new. Most scientist know that radiation is most dangerous once it enters the body. Is Doctor Hida's conscious now bothering him?
Report Comment
I believe Dr Hida didn't wait over a year to tell people about the danger. I think he's been giving talks for years.

Dr Hida published at least ten books since 1978, some are translation of English book, all relating to nuclear so it's not as if he kept quiet all this time.

Rambojim… Dr Hida like everyone else was officially forbidden by Japanese Govt as well as TEPCO to speak of anything against the official babble. Legal consequences and professional stigma (for speaking out against the grain) are pretty big real time obstacles.
He is speaking now, which is still earlier than his peers.

My apologies to GlowInTheDark any Anthony for perhaps being a little to harsh on Doctor Hida…

Thank you Anthony for adding rather important point!
I remember when Dr Hida was not well but he still accepted an interview (2 hours long!) by Iwakami on UST last year. I wish you understood Japanese too. So much good information he imparts.

Doctor Hida could have prevented a few thousand souls from receiving massive amounts of radiation had he opened his mouth 12 months ago.

There are lots of talks he has been doing since 311 too.

1. Just highlight the word, right click and copy.
2. Go to Youtube and paste the word, that's all.
There are over 131 videos and for a person of age 95, quite a lot in a year because I know talking over an hour to give lectures can be quite tiring however you might be passionate about it.
