I got thinking about the Cold War in the 1950s and early 60’s, when the US government mobilized a nation to prepare for the “Big One” that never came. We all learned how to climb under our desk at school. Our parents joined the Civil Defense to stand on top of the local town’s bank buildings and scan the skies with binoculars to look for Russian bombers.

Now, we have a nuclear threat to our country that is potentially greater. Yet the giant government and media machines are hard at work to coat it with invisible paint and make it disappear. Low radiation. No threat. Not harmful. These are the same people who tell us it is OK to swim in the Gulf. How do the families of the dead victims of the Gulf’s Blue Plague respond the government’s and media’s current spin to assuage the public’s fears?

Contrary to the government’s and media’s spin, Dr. Mark Sircus and other professional medical people tell us “there is no such thing as safe radiation” and “one particle of plutonium in your lung can cause cancer.”

How can our poor little pea brains handle such contrary points of view?

In the the 50’s the government taught us to climb under our desk for a few minutes in a drill. Now, the government wants us to be ostriches. Stick your head in the ground and don’t look up.

The spinsters want to make it seem that we live with “background radiation” all the time and it is OK. No, it kills! Why do dermatologists tell us to cover up outdoors in the sun? How many human beings are dying right now from melanoma they got from “background radiation?”

Doesn’t anyone want to tackle the qualitative differences between radiation from different kinds of radioactive elements? Can the EPA or Wolf Blitzer tell me it a brick or rock gives off the same kind of radiation as a uranium fuel rod?

Here is my question: would the government of Japan or US tell us, if they found radioactive isotopes of plutonium in the seawater? They like reporting on iodine isotopes with half lives of a few hours or days. When the devil’s sperm, namely plutonium 239, shows up in the radioactive concoction floating off Fukushima, will his handlers release the news?

Government advice: Avoid bricks and rocks, but don’t worry about the radioactive iodine and cesium falling on your neighborhood. And plutonium, don’t ask.

Understanding Radiation is Not Easy

Understanding the basics of radiation is not easy. With the media full of news about the failed nuclear power plant at Fukushima Japan, we are all confronted with the daunting challenge of trying to make sense out of what we see on TV and read in newspapers and blogs.

I created this chart Your Guide to Radiation Sources and Doses to provide a quick reference to the comparative intensity of radiation sources and doses. The units of measurement to describe the potency of radiation gets tricky right off the bat. This chart uses both the United States system and the metric system, making it easy to cross check with measurements you see or hear in the media. Rems and millirems are units of radiation used in the United States. Sieverts and millisieverts are units used in the metric system. You see them in the chart right next to each other.

The chart places the most potentially dangerous sources and doses of radiation at the top. At the bottom of the chart are the more common sources of radiation that we all encounter on a regular basis in our daily lives, no matter where we live on the plant.

The chart is a compilation of educational, scientific and governmental publications. Sometimes they do not agree in detail among themselves. Editorial decisions are necessary to round out the slight discrepancies.

Low Level versus High Level Radiation

danyoura@gmail.com (Dan Youra) — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 06:52:00 +0000

There is no safe level of radiation exposure.

Jeff Patterson, former president of Physicians for Social Responsibility

It is the inability to see the effects of chronic,  low level toxicities on human health that has been,  and remains, our greatest failing as intelligent beings.

Dr. Boyd Haley

“A growing body of animal research suggests to some scientists that even minute traces of some chemicals, always assumed to be biologically insignificant, can affect such processes as gene activation and the brain development of newborns.

WSJ quoted by Dr. Mark Sircus blog

An especially striking finding: It appears that some substances may have effects at the very lowest exposures that are absent at higher levels.

WSJ quoted by Dr. Mark Sircus blog

The new science of low-dose exposure is challenging centuries of accepted wisdom about toxic substances and rattling the foundation of environmental law.

WSJ quoted by Dr. Mark Sircus blog

There is no safe level of mercury, and no one  has actually shown that there is a safe level. 

Dr. Lars Friberg, Chief adviser to WHO on mercury safety

There is no safe level of radiation.

Questions for Government, Nuclear Experts and Media

danyoura@gmail.com (Dan Youra) — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 00:43:00 +0000

Questions for Government, Nuclear Experts and Media
From Dan Youra, author of RadiationSurvivor.com

I have a few questions for you government officials, nuclear experts and thousands of reporters throughout the world concerning your daily reports on radioactivity blowing out of the exploded nuclear reactors in Fukushima, Japan.

I want to be upfront about my self interest here. I am one of the canaries sniffing the air and sipping the water at the entrance to the mine on the upper, lefthand corner of the lower, forty-eight United States. Whereas, Alaska and Hawaii, a few thousand miles to the north and west, are early warning states, Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula, where I live, regularly gets the first whiff of weather from Japan to make landfall on the contiguous United States.

You officials, experts and reporters drum it into our brains that the levels of radioactivity from the world’s most damaged nuclear complex are low, tiny, minuscule, safe, not harmful to humans, below acceptable limits and within safety margins.

QUESTION: At what point precisely will we know when the radioactivity levels have moved from your low and safe levels to the not-so-low and not-so-safe levels?

We, John Q and Jane Q Public, get your point that everyday we are bombarded by, what you call, benign background radiation from bricks, microwave ovens and stars.

QUESTION: Dr. Gupta, are you trying to tell us that breathing a tiny spec of uranium into our lungs is not as dangerous to our health as sniffing a brick of your benign background radiation?

We hear you say that background radiation doesn’t hurt us, but my dermatologist tells me to cover my body and wear my baseball cap when I am outdoors in the background radiation?

QUESTION: Dr. Regina, according to the Surgeon General’s office how many human beings get skin cancer from the sun each year and, thus, die from background radiation?

Pardon me for pointing out that the EPA hasn’t been real clear on the cumulative nature of radiation. I’m learning that it sneaks in through my nose and lodges in my lungs. It gurgles into my gut. It pours through my pores and all accumulates into potentially lethal doses.

QUESTION: Ms. Jackson, at what point do all your low, tiny, minuscule, safe, not harmful, acceptable, within limits accumulate in my body to “Woops! too much, too late, too bad?” Would two months of "tiny" equal too late? Five months? Five years?

You report that the nuclear mess may take years or decades to clean up? I heard one of your experts project that you’ll need 50 to 100 years to clean this up.

QUESTION: Would a few decades of low, minuscule amounts of radioactive particles accumulate in a child’s body to equal too much, too late?

Please forgive us not-so-educated readers and viewers for being a bit unfamiliar with the meanings of the many scientific terms you use to measure the levels of radiation.

QUESTION: Mr. Holdren, is there anyone among you who is a Jargon Czar, who can explain the esoteric world of radiation measurement to us: Rems, millirems, Sieverts (Sv), milliSieverts, microSierverts, Roentgen (R), Gray (Gy), Rad, Curie (Ci), millicurie, microcurie, picocurie, becquerel (Bq), coulomb/kilogram (C/kg), microcoulombs/kilogram (µC/kg), Common Units and SI units?

Officials at Fukushima’s wrecked reactors report that radiation levels in the waste water are 1,000 milleSieverts. A Wall Street Journal article reports that the recording devices used to monitor the radiation at the plant only go up to 1,000 milleSieverts.

QUESTION: Mr. TEPCO, if you were to travel to the sun with my backyard thermometer that goes up to 100 degrees F to measure the temperature of the sun, how hot will you tell me the sun is? 100 degrees F, right? So, how much higher above 1,000 milleSieverts is the radiation really? Can you really answer this, I mean REALLY. And, whatever, how do you what's safe? You don’t know, do you? How do you know what’s safe? You’re guessing, I mean, hoping, right?

We read your reports one day that sea water is 750 times more radioactive than normal, then 7,500 times beyond safe, then 75,000 times off the charts. We hear you tell us that these levels are safe. Are you surprised that we are all confused now and that residents of Tokyo have begun demonstrating against nuclear power?

QUESTION: Mr. Prime Minister, could you please tell us what level of radioactivity is NOT SAFE? 750,000 times normal? 7.5 million? 7.5 billion? If the radiation gets to 7.5 billion, is the government going to raise the safe level to 7.5 trillion times?

You can’t blame us – the public – for being a bit confused about how you determine the line between low and high, safe and dangerous, acceptable and intolerable. Exposure to the nuclear death rays in the air is one thing, absorbing the particles which emit them is entirely another dimension to the problem, which nobody is explaining very well.

QUESTION: Can you tell us how many Curies we can breathe, how many coulomb/kilogram we can eat and how many Rems or Sieverts we can absorb through our skin before we are cursed with radiation poisoning and cast into a fate of painful, nuclear death?

Doubtless, the half life thing about radioactive particles is a little tricky to grasp. We hear you assure us that Iodine-131 degrades very fast and disappears in a few days, whereas plutonium hangs out for a few billion years.

QUESTION: Larry, What is the difference between the death caused by a quick dying ion, for example Iodine-131, and a slow dying ion, say plutonium 238?

Fukushima operators can’t find a safe place to store the radioactive waste water. The temptation is great to dump it into the ocean and sure enough, that is what they are doing. Your reporting assures us that the ocean is a big place and so the radioactivity will dissipate rapidly and its effects will be harmless on sea life and humans.

QUESTION: Brian, what does General Electric tell NBC to tell you to tell us about the safety of the Pacific Ocean? Since Chernobyl and Three Mile Island were not near an ocean, how do you know for sure what nuclear fallout does to the ocean? Where does a particle of radioactive plutonium hang out for its first billion years? If it gets inside a salmon and two years later I eat the salmon, will it keep me alive for a billion years? Just asking.

A few years ago the scare about toxic mercury taught us how mercury concentrates in tuna as it elevates up the food chain. It is not a difficult leap to understand how radioactive atoms behave in a similar manner, potentially concentrating a more deadly punch in a fillet of salmon than in a microscopic plankton.

QUESTION: Christiane, when you assure us gullible readers and viewers that radioactive seawater is not harmful to humans, you mean before it travels up the food chain, right? What about after?

During the 1950s the United States government attempted to educate us dolts about the threat of a Russian atomic bomb. Civil Defense forces in every community warned us citizens of The Big One. As kids, we were drilled on how to dive under our desks at school. Our families were encouraged to build bomb shelters in our basements.

QUESTION: Mr. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, why is there no effort to educate us on the potential threat of the effects of this Japanese blowout? If the Fukushima complex were to hit “criticality” (that is what you call it, right?) would an atomic chain reaction blow hundreds of tons of radioactive material high into the atmosphere? Wouldn’t it rain down all over the northern hemisphere? If a few pounds of plutonium can cause millions of cancer cases, how many cases would a ton cause?

Mr. United Nations, Sir, we are numbed by all your assurances that the Fukushima meltdown is only threatening to the people living within the evacuation zone a few miles from the reactors.

QUESTION: What will happen when the Nuclear Dragon’s bad breath forces the evacuation of the Northern Hemisphere? Should we all evacuate to UN Plaza in New York?

Soon the media may have to speculate on a link between the blown up nuclear plant in Japan and radioactive rainwater in California. Can you hear Wolf intoning, “Maybe there’s a potential, unproven, possible, alleged, hypothetical, non collaborated, connection between radioactive milk in Spokane and the cracked containment vessel in Japan?”

QUESTION: Why is the Fukushima Big One any less real or less threatening than a commie attack in the 50’s? What should we do when bubbles of nuclear gas are falling onto our heads? Do we dive under our desks?

To my media friends: you like reporting on the cute, little Iodine isotopes with half lives of a few hours or days. Reporting on premature births of deformed babies in west coast hospitals won’t be as fun.

QUESTION: When the devil’s sperm, namely radioactive plutonium, shows up in American women’s wombs and deformed bodies of American babies, will the devil’s handlers release the news to you and will you tell us?

Until the evening news can show photographs of deformed newborns in America’s maternity wards and roll video of children who are not allowed to go outdoors, the Nuclear Concentration Camp won't be real.

QUESTION: How long do you think it will take for the government-science-media cabal to crack and admit that the Fail Safe limit had been breached within the first fews days of the Fukushima explosion?

We’d all like to believe that government officials, scientists, reporters and editors are actual human beings with beating hearts that are capable of experiencing compassion for others.

QUESTION: If this genie can’t be stuck back into the bottle and it kills a few million people, including possibly your own family member or friend, would you feel that you should accept any of the responsibility, the blame, for having failed to alert us in time "to dive under our desks"?

Mr. Bill, you’ve already cost us four weeks of precious, lost time. It is precisely in this early stage, when people need accurate, helpful information to prepare themselves for what is potentially coming. We don’t need condescending pabulum.

What we need is for you to use your giant media machine to help people learn how to defend ourselves against radioactive fallout. We want to know how to prepare our bodies to fight the Ion Invasion.

QUESTION: Why don’t you help direct people to information that can save lives? Why don’t you help people become radiation survivors rather than radiation targets?

We planetary plebs need help. We need vital, life-saving information RIGHT NOW! We watch you showcase pink-clad, cancer survivors at rallies on evening news shows. How about giving us a hand, so that more of us can don the pink armor of victory and attend some of your rallies as Radiation Survivors.

QUESTION: Please, can you urge people to go to RadiationSurvivor.com to find helpful information to reduce their risks of nuclear exposure and to increase their chances of being radiation survivors? Go Pink!

I look forward to your answers. Leave a comment on this page or email me at dan [at] youra[dot]com

Thank you,

How To Survive Nuclear Radiation
Dan Youra has a track record of helping people survive threatening gases in the environment. In April 2010 this northwest author created a website to help residents of the Gulf Coast learn how to survive toxic gases bubbling up from BP's blown out wellhead.

As editor of the Alcohol Distiller's Manual for Gasohol and Spirits, Youra is trained in industrial applications and potentially lethal effects of toxic gases.

In response to the radiation venting out of the blown out nuclear reactors in Fukushima, Japan, Youra has now launched a website to help residents of the northern hemisphere learn survival techniques.

Youra promotes his website, Radiation Survivor, as "a source of hope". Youra says, "RadiationSurvivor.com is designed to empower people with knowledge that there are actions that they can take to increase their odds of beating the nuclear fallout."

The website builds on five cornerstones of defense: Safety, Attitude, Preparation, Life Style and Treatments. Youra ties these into facts he developed for the Gulf Coast oil spill at ToxGas.com and he incorporates social networking on his blog BlowOutBlog.info.

Youra urges people to follow the Boy Scout motto, "Be Prepared." He adds, "Whether the threat is imminent or far off, weak or robust, local or global, contrived or real, I am offering proven, healthy treatments to fight radiation and win."

Youra developed his website, guided by three principles: There is no such thing as a safe level of nuclear radiation. It is never too early to start preparing the body to fight the radiation, and the properly treated body can survive the radiation.

The website features the work of doctors such as Dr. Mark Sircus, who offers techniques to build up the body's immune system with diet and healthy treatments for cleansing toxins out of the body. Ideas include stocking up on baking soda and clay to use in baths to draw toxins out of the body.

Youra claims that his goal is to offer hope to counteract the depressing news of nuclear radiation invading the air we breath. "I offer hope to the individual, hope to the mom to encourage her kids and hope for a teacher to pass on to a class."

This webmaster is not new to nuclear issues. He wrote about nuclear disarmament and nuclear non proliferation in the 1960s, when he worked at the United Nations in New York, where he was managing editor of the foreign policy journal Current Thought on Peace and War. He has a BA degree in international studies from University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. He completed graduate school courses at University of Michigan and The Ohio State University.

In the 1950s school children were taught to climb under their desks during air raid drills in preparation for an atomic attack from Russia. The response to the current threat includes behavior such as wearing a hat with a vizor, when outside, and removing shoes at the door. Youra's website offers suggestions from experts to supplement a diet with higher doses of vitamin C, increase consumption of herbs such as rosemary and fortify the body with baking soda.

According to Dan Youra, "The highest probability of survival goes to the healthiest body that can fight off the nuclear isotopes attacking us by land, sea and air." Youra is chairman of the board of directors at JC MASH medical clinics on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.

The Radiation Survivor website is designed to empower people with knowledge, information and HOPE that there are things that all of us can do to face the prospects of nuclear fallout head on. Whether the threat is imminent or far off, weak or robust, local or global, contrived or real, I am offering proven, healthy treatments to fight the radiation and win.

I'm building on the five cornerstones of Safety, Attitude, Preparation, Life Style and Treatments. I tie into the facts at ToxGas.com and the social interaction on the BlowOutBlog.

Much of the substance of the site is an explication of Dr. Mark Sircus' work in building up the body's immune system with diet and healthy protocols for cleansing toxins out of the body in order to be able to withstand the onslaught of the nuclear legions.

In the midst of this massive outpouring of radiation from the blownout reactors at Fukushima, and the likely scenario of much more to continue pouring out for years to come, I am guided by the following precepts:

1. There is no such thing as a safe level of nuclear radiation.
2. It is never too early to start preparing the body to fight the radiation.
3. The properly treated body can survive the radiation.

I am trying to offer every bit of hope that I can, hope that the individual can do something to fight this beast on a personal level, hope that a mom and dad can encourage their kids, hope that a teacher can pass on to his or her class, hope that a boss can share with his or her crew. The urgency of this moment is calling us to be healthy, healthier, and the healthiest we can be. If, in the face of the potentially deadly radiation, the survival of the individual is in the balance, and it is, than the highest probability of survival goes to the healthiest body that can fight off the isotopes attacking by land, sea and air.

The website RadiationSurvivor.com is packed with useful information.

I am focusing my battle against nuclear fallout under the banner of "Radiation Survivor" as you can see on my website RadiationSurvivor.com.

There are plenty of other web sites documenting the physics, news, commentary, speculation, politics and conspiracies bubbling up around Japan's Fukushima nuclear blowout.

My goal is to empower people with knowledge, information, testimonials and HOPE that there are things that all of us can do to face the fallout head on. Whether the threat is imminent or far off, weak or robust, local or global, contrived or real, I am offering proven, healthy treatments to fight the radiation and win.

Much of the substance of the site is an explication of Dr. Mark Sircus' work in building up the body's immune system with diet and healthy protocols for cleansing toxins out of the body in order to be able to withstand the onslaught of the nuclear legions.

I'll leave it up to other web sites to point fingers and determine which way the winds are blowing. It is not my role to judge who's got it right regarding the minimums, limits and thresholds of radiation dangers.

In the midst of this massive outpouring of radiation from the blownout reactors at Fukushima, and the likely scenario of much more to continue pouring out for years to come, I am guided by the following precepts:

1. There is no such thing as a safe level of nuclear radiation.
2. It is never too early to start preparing the body to fight the radiation.
3. The properly treated body can survive the radiation.

I have become convinced that almost everyone is freaked out, panicked, scared, despondent or angry about this threat, some more than others, and some with a layer of resignation, disbelief or denial papering over their internal turmoil.

I am trying to offer every bit of hope that I can, hope that the individual can do something to fight this beast on a personal level, hope that a mom and dad can encourage their kids, hope that a teacher can pass on to his or her class, hope that a boss can share with his or her crew. The urgency of this moment is calling us to be healthy, healthier, and the healthiest we can be. If, in the face of the potentially deadly radiation, the survival of the individual is in the balance, and it is, than the highest probability of survival goes to the healthiest body that can fight off the isotopes attacking by land, sea and air.

Building upon the foundation of research I assembled into the websites I did for the Gulf oil well blowout, the links to CDC, NIH, EPA, the inventory of survival books and cleaning treatments, it is a short step to filling in the basics of radiation survival.

The website RadiationSurvivor.com is packed with useful information.

I shall gladly accept any recommendations or referrals you suggest or pass my way and I encourage you to share this site with your family and friends.

Nuclear Salmon Made in Japan

danyoura@gmail.com (Dan Youra) — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 06:43:00 +0000

Tokyo. March 22, 2011. Abnormally high levels of radioactive substances have been detected in seawater near the quake-crippled nuclear power plant in Japan, its operator said early Tuesday, cited by AFP. Five kinds of radioactive materials, including iodine-131, cesium-134 and cobalt, released by damaged fuel rods, were detected in the sea.

Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) said the level of iodine-131 was 126.7 times higher and cesium-134 was 24.8 times higher than government-set standards. Cesium-137 was 16.5 times higher

The government limit is based on the amount of radioactive material that can be consumed by a person for a year, which is 1 millisievert. Although iodine-131 has a radioactive half-life of eight days, cesium-137's half-life is about 30 years.

At 2:30 p.m. Monday, TEPCO collected 500 milliliters of seawater at a point 100 meters south of the outlet, from which waste liquid is drained into the sea.

A total of 5.066 becquerel of iodine-131 per milliliter was detected, a level 126.7 times more than the yearly limit a person can safely ingest as set by the Nuclear Reactor Regulation Law.

If a person ingested two liters of water at this level of contamination over a three-day period, it would be equivalent to being exposed to an annual dose of radiation according to government-set safety standards, the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said.

According to TEPCO, the operator of the crippled nuclear plant, there are two possible causes of the seawater contamination.

One is that the radioactive materials, blasted into the air after explosions at buildings housing the plant's Nos. 1 and 3 reactors, spread toward the Pacific and entered the sea when it rained. The other possible cause is that the water sprayed onto the Nos. 3 and 4 reactors washed the radioactive materials into the sea.

In a phenomenon called biological concentration, radioactive materials in seawater will become more concentrated in fish and marine plants.

The substances were detected in seawater which was sampled Monday about 100 kilometres (60 miles) south of the Fukushima No.1 plant. The radiation has spread to a wider area in the ocean beyond the immediate zone of the power plant raising alarm over impact on seafood.

However officials say it is too early to assess the radiation's impact on sea products.
Nevertheless seafood imports from Japan have dropped with some Korean retailers blocking sales altogether.

Japan's Nuclear BlowOut

Japan Blowout is an artistic depiction of the global meltdown caused by the cascading problems in Japan. Japan grew in size. Its impact on the rest of the world is earth shaking. The Japan blowout made the Pacific smaller and blew the continents off the planet. Its repercussions are nebulous, undefined, amorphous. The concept of north and south hemispheres is irrelevant. The band of fallout ties in Chernobyl and 3 Mile Island. One giant tear drops from the eyeball-looking hole.

I like applying the word BLOWOUT to the Fukushima nuclear disaster. The term MELTDOWN is NOT really a scientific term. It is a popularized term. BlowOut is a technical term used very widely in the oil industry to refer to a well head that is OUT OF CONTROL. Everyone, upon reading the word BLOWOUT, immediately gets the drift.

Nuclear Fallout is Circling Northern Hemisphere
As you keep hearing news reporters tell you that the radiation levels from the Japanese nuclear plant are low over your city, this is the most important statement that you need to keep repeating to yourself: "Inhaling or ingesting only ONE radioactive particle of plutonium can cause cancer." ONE. It does not matter what the radiation levels are. The radioactive particles from the Fukushima nuclear plant are in the jet stream. Read about how low level toxicity can kill.
