http://enenews.com/radioactive-iodine-131-in-rainwater-sample-near-san-francisco-is-18100-above-federal-drinking-water-standard/comment-page-2

It’s unfortunate that “radiation dose” charts are used for self-calming in regard to the Fukushima disaster. Such linear charts are wrong (mixing measurements which are hardly equal), and are also misleading. Hence, it’s wise to disregard them, for reasons which include the following:

a.) The charts make no distinction between “short-term external exposure” and “ingested radiation” (despite there being a world of difference between the two). That it, they’ll cite measurements of short-term exposure from an external source (such exposure during an airplane flight), but will then compare that to food ingestion measurements (such as eating bananas), thus implying the two exposures are equivalent. They are not. Ingested radiation is thousands of times more serious than an external exposure equivalent, because the radiation is dangerously close to the organs, and also because the effects endure as long as the radiation is active. http://van.physics.illinois.edu/qa/listing.php?id=671

In addition, the radioactivity of a food like a banana on a chart refers to natural earth radiation (rather than to Fukushima fall-out). Gosh, those were the good old days. Within a year, radiation will cover the southern hemisphere, just as it’s already covered the northern hemisphere. How to keep bananas (all foods) free of Fukushima radiation is becoming the world’s great question.

b.) The charts don’t measure bio-accumulation of radiation (the total exposure which determines cumulative health effects). Because the charts are vertical (charting lowest exposure to highest), the charts mask the effects of continuous low dose exposure. For example, continuous low-dose exposure to Iodine-131 can destroy the thyroid gland’s function. The Petkau Effect indicates that “A long term exposure of extremely low radiation (i.e., one-ten millionth of a rad per minute) was found to be 100 BILLION times MORE lethal than a short term exposure to exceedingly high level radiation (i.e., 10,000 rads per minute). http://doctorapsley.com/RadiationTherapy.aspx
We’re now facing continuous low exposure (via water and food), which increases bio-accumulation. Due to bio-accumulation, every exposure adds to the probability of contracting cancer, but of course, the charts don’t indicate this.

c.) The charts don’t factor in concentrated levels of food radiation. Because the Fukushima radiation continues to be deposited on earth, radiation levels tend to concentrate inside the food chain.
The result can be that one serving can end up being unusually radioactive. For example, krill get eaten by small fish, which are eaten by bigger fish, which can then be eaten by us–and at each level, radiation builds and accumulates. Similarly, toxic rainwater is ingested into plants, and cows (who’ve grazed while standing in that same radiation-carrying rainwater) then eat the plants. When we consume cow milk or beef, we’re getting concentrated levels of radiation as accumulated from those sources.

Regardless of some media reports, there is no safe level of radiation http://www.sott.net/articles/show/227254–There-is-no-safe-dose-of-radiation-#comments. News reports which mention the low levels of Iodine-131 and its short life fail to mention the presence of strontium 90, which is bone-seeking (and hence, hard to get rid of) http://gigswwa.blogspot.com/2011/04/got-milk.html. Media reports are also also ominously silent about the presence of plutonium, a deficiency of reporting which Helen Caldicott has questioned. News reports which focus only on the least deadly elements can be deadly to our health: http://rense.com/general93/disv.htm

Accurate radiation information from Japan is also elusive, due to how the Japanese government has issued an official order to telecommunicat ions companies and web masters to censor reports which contradict the state media reports that the Fukushima nuclear radiation disaster is over. http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com/2011/04/19/japan-officially-orders-censorship-of-truth-about-fukushima-nuclear-radiation-disaster-18502/

Food for thought…
Donna Summer: One of thousands of nonsmokers killed annually by lung cancer
Some frightening context: If lung cancer in “never smokers” had its own category separate from lung cancer in smokers, “it would rank among the top 10 fatal cancers in the United States,” reports the American Cancer Society.
Workplace exposure to cancer-causing agents (including chemicals and gases) — as well as pedestrians, bikers and joggers sucking in small particles of air pollution — are also believed to prompt some lung cancers in non-smokers.
But it is radon gas – an odorless, radioactive, element rising from uranium deposits and collecting inside homes – that leads to most of the lung cancers that strike down nonsmokers. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, radon kills 20,000 Americans annually.
http://vitals.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/18/11759180-donna-summer-one-of-thousands-of-nonsmokers-killed-annually-by-lung-cancer
In a perfect world, It would be interesting see every lung cancer victim have a screening for radionuclides. After all, if they died from radioactive particles in their lungs, they are still there.

    Radiation exposure is increased by a factor of a trillion. Inhaling even the tiniest particle, that’s the danger.

    Yo: So making comparisons with X-rays and CT scans has no meaning. Because you can breathe in radioactive material.

    Hirose: That’s right. When it enters your body, there’s no telling where it will go. The biggest danger is women, especially pregnant women, and little children. Now they’re talking about iodine and cesium, but that’s only part of it, they’re not using the proper detection instruments. What they call monitoring means only measuring the amount of radiation in the air. Their instruments don’t eat. What they measure has no connection with the amount of radioactive material.

Dr. Helen Caldicott (Co-founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility):

- The Propaganda From The Government And The Nuclear Industry About Low-Level Radiation Is Absolute Rubbish:

    You’ve bought the propaganda from the nuclear industry. They say it’s low-level radiation. That’s absolute rubbish. If you inhale a millionth of a gram of plutonium, the surrounding cells receive a very, very high dose. Most die within that area, because it’s an alpha emitter. The cells on the periphery remain viable. They mutate, and the regulatory genes are damaged. Years later, that person develops cancer. Now, that’s true for radioactive iodine, that goes to the thyroid; cesium-137, that goes to the brain and muscles; strontium-90 goes to bone, causing bone cancer and leukemia. It’s imperative … that you understand internal emitters and radiation, and it’s not low level to the cells that are exposed. Radiobiology is imperative to understand these days.”

repost fukushima-diary comments:

Easy bruising or a nosebleed can be caused by a number of medical conditions including: Low platelet count
http://www.raysahelian.com/bruising.html

Radiation reduces production of blood platelets.
http://www.tirgan.com/thrpenia.htm

In other words, you may bruise more easily because the number of your platelets is reduced due to radiation exposure.

Radiation Side Effects and Ways to Manage Them:
http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/coping/radiation-therapy-and-you/page8

Since “blood counts may be fine” after a visit to the doctor [hands clasped in prayer]…

Don’t forget earlier articles in which deformation of cells, changes in cell membrane structures, changes in metabolites and in hormones, increased markers of inflammation, and changes in blood viscosity were noted due to the effects of radiation exposure.

Besides cell necrosis it affects everything.

Phenomena: “Sickle Cell Pains”, bruising, itchy skin, red skin.

Here is a scary story about radiation and bruising.. I hope for her sake that this is not what is coming…
http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2011/04/tiny_nukes.html

Here is another thing that MD types should be looking for. A blood test will tell her pretty much everything.
“Plasma cell tumors in the bone marrow crowd out the normal components of the marrow, resulting thereby in decreased numbers of red blood cells, platelets, and other white blood cells. This problem then results in fatigue and shortness of breath (decreased red cell count), bleeding or easy bruising (low platelet count), and increased susceptibility to infections (low white blood cell count).” http://www.emedicinehealth.com/myeloma/article_em.htm

Bruising easily, or even spontaneously without trauma, could signify a medical problem that needs attention. It could mean that bone marrow isn’t producing enough platelets, components of blood that literally plug leaks in the walls of injured blood vessels. This disorder, thrombocytopen ia, may be symptomatic of alcohol abuse, autoimmune disorders, infections, illness, medications, chemotherapy, radiation or of one of several diseases such as anemia or leukemia. A complete blood count and blood testing can help rule out these possibilities.

Here is your answer for risks for adults: For every 10 mSv of low-dose ionizing radiation, there was a 3% increase in the risk of age- and sex-adjusted cancer over a mean follow-up period of five years
Cancer risk related to low-dose ionizing radiation from cardiac imaging in patients after acute myocardial infarction. By Mark J. Eisenberg MD MPH, Jonathan Afilalo MD MSc, Patrick R. Lawler MD, Michal Abrahamowicz PhD, Hugues Richard MSc, Louise Pilote MD MPH PhD http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3050947/pdf/1830430.pdf
[Excerpted] The cumulative exposure to radiation from cardiac procedures was 5.3 milli Sieverts (mSv) per patient year, of which 84% occurred during the first year after acute myocardial infarction. A total of 12 020 incident cancers were diagnosed during the follow-up period. There was a dose dependent relation between exposure to radiation from cardiac procedures and subsequent risk of cancer. For every 10 mSv of low-dose ionizing radiation, there was a 3% increase in the risk of age- and sex-adjusted cancer over a mean follow-up period of five years (hazard ratio 1.003 per milliSievert, 95% confidence interval 1.002–1.004).

    • Dietrich Averbeck, a, Towards a New Paradigm for Evaluating the Effects of Exposure to Ionizing Radiation Mutation Research/Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutagenesis Volume 687, Issues 1-2, 1 May 2010 pages 7-12

    Old model assumed only cells directly subject to radiation were damaged

    New model emphasizes how low-dose radiation can cause indirect damage to cells through the bystander effect and through genomic instability.

    The effects of low-dose ionizing radiation are variable and can reduce DNA repair mechanisms, operate lethally on cells or some instances activate them depending upon type of radiation, chemical environment, etc.

    “In recent years, several lines of evidence have been accumulating that low-dose effects of ionizing radiation involve formerly unexpected cellular phenomena such as non-targeted and delayed radiation effects. These effects clearly contradict the classical paradigm of radiation biology saying that all radiation effects on cells, tissues and organisms are due to the direct action of radiation on DNA…. As another low-dose non-linear radiation response can be added the phenomenon of low-dose radiation hypersensitivi ty (LDRH) [68] and [69] that has been observed in many cell types.

    It manifests itself by high lethality”

    Non-targeted and Delayed Effects of Exposure to Ionizing Radiation:
    I. Radiation-Induced Genomic Instability and Bystander Effects In Vitro
    William F. Morgan1

    IMPLICATIONS OF NON-TARGETED, DELAYED EFFECTS OF IONIZING RADIATION
    “Radiation-induced instability and the existence of bystander effects are well established and incontrovertib le. In addition to damage directly induced by the deposition of energy in the nucleus of the irradiated cell, consideration must now be given to these indirect effects of radiation. An irradiated cell can send out a signal and induce a response in a cell whose nucleus was not hit by radiation. This might result in genetic damage or genomic instability or might be lethal to nonirradiated cells. These non-targeted effects in essence ‘‘amplify’’ the biological effectiveness of a given radiation dose. This occurs by effectively increasing the number of cells that experience effects over that directly exposed to the radiation.

    “Bystander effects include a family of cellular responses in cells not hit by radiation and indicate that the relevant target for radiation effects is greater than the cell nucleus. Obviously this could have significant implications for evaluating the consequences of radiation exposure, particularly at low doses (for discussion, see ref. 77). Our understanding of these non-targeted effects is still in its infancy, and much of the data to date has been obtained from in vitro studies. While the significance of these indirect effects on human
    health remain to be elucidated, it would seem prudent to consider the implications of non-targeted delayed effects of radiation exposure when considering models of radiation carcinogenesis, particularly at low doses.”

Pr C. Busby: Fallujah health effects, new U weapons. Nov 2011 Small | Large


“Prof Chris Busby was invited to Stockholm on Nov 19th 2011 to present the results of the studies he made with his colleagues into the health effects in and contamination of Fallujah Iraq. He begins by showing a video of a small modern ground based missile that is capable of atomising a tank, and asks what kind of explosive warhead could have such power? The studies, carried out with Malak Hamdan , Samira Alaani, Eleonore Blaurock Busch and others showed unbelieveable levels of cancer and congenital malformation which appeared after the 2004 US led attack of the city. Leukemia and other cancer increases were greater than those produced by Hiroshima. For the first time, Busby presents specific data on congenital malformations in Fallujah from a yet unpublished study. The cause of these effects was found by analysing the hair of the parents of the children with congenital malformations. It was Enriched Uranium which, Busby argues, must be some component of a new type of weapon. He believes that this discovery is what is behind the recent global operation to destroy his scientific credibility, as this is a secret that was not meant to become
