Don’t be fooled by the spin: radiation is bad, Sydney Morning Herald, April 8, 2011:

Dr Peter Karamoskos is a nuclear radiologist and a public representative on the radiation health committee of the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency

… There seems to be a never-ending cabal of paid industry scientific ”consultants” who are more than willing to state the fringe view that low doses of ionising radiation do not cause cancer and, indeed, that low doses are actually good for you and lessen the incidence of cancer. …

Ionising radiation is a known carcinogen. This is based on almost 100 years of cumulative research including 60 years of follow-up of the Japanese atom bomb survivors. The International Agency for Research in Cancer (IARC, linked to the World Health Organisation) classifies it as a Class 1 carcinogen, the highest classification indicative of certainty of its carcinogenic effects.

In 2006, the US National Academy of Sciences released its Biological Effects of Ionising Radiation (VII) report, which focused on the health effects of radiation doses at below 100 millisieverts. This was a consensus review that assessed the world’s scientific literature on the subject at that time. It concluded: “. . . there is a linear dose-response relationship between exposure to ionising radiation and the development of solid cancers in humans. It is unlikely that there is a threshold below which cancers are not induced.”

The most comprehensive study of nuclear workers by the IARC, involving 600,000 workers exposed to an average cumulative dose of 19mSv, showed a cancer risk consistent with that of the A-bomb survivors. …

  • Paid scientists are not worthy to be called scientists but rather politicians or the label they use on the real scientists that are not on the big boys payroll. They are really pseudo-scientists at best, because they obscure the truth putting peoples lives in danger by their “expertise.” Don’t be fooled and do take some precautions for your health so you do not end up with Radiation Sickness.

    Avoid heavily contaminated areas, and get reverse osmosis water or distilled water and add some black mica extract (adya clarity) to it and take baths in unprocessed sea salt to help your body remove any radioactive toxins.

    Why they are worried !

    China, Russia concern over contaminated water

    China and Russia have expressed concern over Japan discharging water contaminated with relatively low-level radiation from the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean.

    China’s foreign ministry spokesperson Hong Lei released a statement on Friday saying China wants Japan to…

    Water radiation levels rise north of nuke plant

    The operator of the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant says seawater radiation levels continue to rise in areas north of the plant.

    Tokyo Electric Power Company says it detected on Thursday 110 becquerels of radioactive iodine-131 per cubic centimeter in seawater samples collected 30 meters from outlets in the northern part of….

  • great!

    I’m glad to see that at least China gives a damn!! All those celebrities with all those millions in Cali…well, what are they doing?

    Again, good for China. Someone DOES need to police this operation based on international law!!! Desperately!!!

      hi great
      from what I understand it’s a desperate situation…anyone trying to “police the situation” will get zapped dead very quickly ,based on “The Laws of Nature”…

    They got to George Monbiot as well… if he ever was for real, he sure is a shill now. Wish I knew more about their techniques, is he being bribed, threatened, blackmailed…?

  • How many different levels of incompetency or other agendas are really brewing behind the headlines?

    All powers that be should know the dangers of low level radiation.

    It’s not the loud noise that break glass molecules, it’s the frequency.
    It’s not the strong microwave levels that cause cellular damage, it’s the frequency
    It’s not the strong wireless signal that causes cellular damage, it’s the vibrational frequency.
    It’s not just high levels of radiation that cause damage, extreme low levels of radiation do too.

    These extreme low levels of biologically significant radiation hit North America Mid March 2011.

    In 1972 Dr Abram Petkau discovered that low levels of radiation, over a longer period of time, were more damaging than higher doses over a short period of time.

    Once you ingest or inhale even very low levels of radioactive particles the Petkau Effect immediately starts potentially lethal tissue ionization.

    The phenomenon of the Petkau Effect basically means that you are ionizing or irradiating yourself continuously from the inside out.

    This insidious burning at your molecular level will impair your body long before there is a diagnosable disease.

    Chernobyl burned out of control for just 10 days and killed nearly one million people and counting, according to the New York Academy of Sciences.

    Many deaths will never be included in the official count, because their cancers won’t be connected to Chernobyl. The long term impact of a compromised immune system and the subsequent health challenges will never be officially traced to Chernobyl.

    Once radionuclides are released into the environment they circulate and are carried with the winds until they become part of the soil and food chain. They land in our drinking water, are on the pastures that our livestock graze on, are on our vegetables and in our fruit trees.

    This is particularly dangerous for humans because we are at the top of the food chain, where the higher concentrations of radionuclides are.

    Most Common Diseases From Ionizing Radiation:

    * leukemia
    * lymphoma
    * solid tumors or any organ
    * bone & blood disorders
    * lung cancer
    * breast cancer
    * endocrine disruption
    * reproductive abnormalities
    * accelerated aging process
    * birth defects
    * congenital malformations
    * kidney, liver damage

    These diseases and mutations don’t stop with us. If ionizing radiation enters our genes, not only does it cause irreversible damage to this generation, but to future generations, as evidenced by children being born years after Chernobyl.

    The health effects immediately after Chernobyl through my body into a loop for a year or so, but I survived and am stronger than ever. Since March 14, in the Pacific NW we’ve been aggressively detoxing ourselves our animals and our soil. I continue to drink raw goat milk, from goats that are also detoxed with Bentonite clay.

    What are you doing to protect yourself?

    Not everyone anywhere will die, but many will, and many more will have enormous health challenges.

    Ignore the media, do your own deep levels of research.
