As a Canadian who lives on the West Coast, overlooking the Pacific from my window, this article does not make me feel any better. It confirms what I have known all along and it does raise my ire that our Canuck government is following the party line and acting as if there are no problems when we know that here, where I live, the worst fallout from Fukushima outside of Japan fell and has contaminated our food supply. Now I cannot even eat fresh wild salmon without concern! The seaweed locals harvest for their natural gardens is contaminated and "natural food" is no longer clean in any way at all.
What REALLY bothers me is, mention these facts to anyone, including the educated, and they deny it. My doctor denies it. My family denies it. I am paranoid is the impression they give ~ and these are erudite educated people!

As a featured guest on
The Power Hour with Joyce Riley, Anthony discusses the true severity of the
Fukushima disaster and how it affects you and your family. Fukushima has had 5
major meltdowns now, in a disaster that is making experts say that it is larger
than Chernobyl. Aljazeera reported in September that
the radiation emitted from Fukushima would rival or surpass Chernobyl in only
the weeks following the disaster.
According to Aljazeera:
“Experts say that the total radiation leaked will eventually exceed the amounts released from the Chernobyl disaster that the Ukraine in April 1986. This amount would make Fukushima the worst nuclear disaster in history.”
This news was from 2011,
but the current news isn’t much better. After officials said they were going to
perform a ‘cold shutdown’ to prevent any further issues, it’s now come out that
the Fukushima reactor temperature now surpasses 752 degrees ~ whereas 100 degrees Celsius
was required for the cold shutdown.
Tepco, the operators of the plant, say the thermometer is conveniently broken, but they have been known to conceal the truth from the public in the past. It took a report months after the initial Fukushima disaster to state that the amount of radiation released exceeds twice what experts claimed, and that report is actually very conservative. Researchers stated:
“Significantly more radioactive caesium was released into the atmosphere as a result of the Fukushima explosion than many experts previously stated. A new study challenges the official explanations of the Fukushima explosion, stating that the amount of radioactive isotope caesium-137 released at the height of the crisis was equivalent to 42% of that from Chernobyl.”
The researchers also
explain how the plant operating company completely covered it up.
“In fact, this statement came with a big delay. The operating company deliberately concealed this information. The explanation is simple ~ the company is afraid that any checking by competent experts would reveal its inability to save the situation. Only recently, foreign experts founded a consultative body for the clean-up of the accident’s consequences. Moreover, the company is concealing the information about the amount of pollution of the environment.”
Dr. Chris Busby, who is a
known authority on the Fukushima disaster, actually said that the disaster
could lead to 200,000 deaths. Amazingly, reports have already shown that the
disaster is killing thousands of individuals.
One peer-reviewed study found that radioactive fallout from Fukushima has already killed an estimated 14,000 individuals in the United States ~ most under age one.
It was also found that radioactive
cesium was contaminating San Francisco-area milk with 150% of the EPA’s
maximum contamination limit.
Beyond that, you’re also
being exposed to a number of other sources of radiation throughout your day
that increases the total percentage.

What’s more is that some
reports have also tied Fukushima radiation to an increase in heart disease. And
it’s not going anywhere fast, as cesium-137 has a 30-year half-life. In
fact, the land seriously contaminated by the Fukushima disaster will
remain dangerously radioactive for up to 300 years.
The University of
Missouri-Columbia said:
“Food grown in these regions is contaminated with cesium-137, and sadly most of the children living there who eat this food have become unhealthy. The Belrad Institute, after nine years of research and hundreds of autopsies, found that cesium-137 concentrates in the vital organs, particularly the heart and endocrine system. Professor Yuri Bandazhevsky discovered that children contaminated with cesium-137 that produced 50 atomic disintegrations per second (beck-rells) per kilogram of body weight caused irreversible heart damage in a child.”
So it’s causing
irreversible heart damage. And this is not an isolated issue, either.
While radiation is
certainly spiking throughout Tokyo, it is really affecting
the entire globe. United States researchers are have revealed that radioactive
cesium has been detected in US soil in levels that indicate a severe threat to
human health.
In a video about the
coming effects of Fukushima radiation on US
health, one part of the transcript reads:
“It is a public health issue and not a personal health issue. What that means is that we will never know who is the individual who got cancer from Fukushima. But we can be sure that the radiation did reach here and that there will be an increase in cancers, especially on the West Coast where the Rocky Mountains stopped most of the radiation and deposited it on the ground.”
Luckily there are natural
methods of combating this radiation, particularly in the form of food and
supplements. While it’s certainly beneficial for virtually everyone to consume
these foods and nutritional supplements, it may be particularly vital when
fighting radiation that could be damaging the health of you and your family.
Sea vegetables: they’re nutritious, taste great, and protect against radiation with high iodine content. Kelp is a great choice here. You just have to watch out for contamination like mercury and other toxic ingredients ~ make sure you buy high quality organic when possible.Chrlorella: Chlorella is full of chlorophyll, which may ward off radiation and is an overall immune booster.Spirulina: Spirulina has been been shown to not only enhance the immune system and reduce cholesterol, but also protect the body from radiation.Apple pectin: Beginning to gain a powerful reputation as an anti-radiation substance.Turmeric: this substance is really becoming the next vitamin D ~ it’s so powerful in boosting your immunity and recent studies show it can protect your skin from radiation. More importantly, it possesses anti-radiation and toxicity effects that can actually interfere with chemotherapy, which just shows how powerful it is. You’ll want to be taking this in a liquid form as a lot of the dry capsules don’t work very well, or perhaps in a food source. The food source is also of concern as it needs to be 100% organic and unprocessed.
