Finally, some mention in the mainstream media of potential health risk from Fukushima fallout, be it ever so dismissive:
From Michael Platt in the Calgary Sun:
“There’s no need to panic — probably.
But not knowing whether to shrug or cower over radioactive iodine falling on Calgary as a result of a meltdown in Japan last year has Canada’s top nuclear critic wondering why.
“There’s no need to be concerned, but what you should be concerned about is why the authorities are so quick to dismiss it,” says Dr. Gordon Edwards.
“Why aren’t they just reporting this stuff and not commenting — they seem to take it upon themselves to deny there’s any danger, even enough to let people know what’s happening.”
Edwards, a university professor, is president of the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility and a former advisor on nuclear matters to Ottawa and the Ontario government.
Thorn in side
When it comes to radiation, and the fallout following the Fukushima nuclear accident, Edwards is a thorn in the side of Heath Canada, sounding the alarm when officially, there isn’t one.
He’s been pointed when saying radiation from Fukushima will lead to higher rates of cancer in Canada — though he’s also quick to say the risk is tiny on a per-person basis….”
Health Canada’s “tip sheet” on raw milk.
In a recent radio interview with Helen Caldicott linked to in this recent post on The Bovine, nuclear engineer and consultant Arnie Gunderson estimated that the Fukushima meltdown would result in upwards of a million new cancers in people around the world.
Of course the Japanese are understandably quite touchy about the subject, as evidenced by this story about the recent abuse of a Canadian reporter at Tokyo airport in a prestigious establishment magazine:
From “Gulag for gaijin” in The Economist:
“AN EXTRAORDINARY story is making the rounds among the hacks and other expats inJapan. A Canadian freelance journalist who has lived in Japan for years fell into the ugly whirlpool of Japan’s immigration-and-detention system. For years human-rights monitors have cited Japan’s responsible agencies for awful abuses; in their reports the system looks like something dark, chaotic and utterly incongruous with the country’s image of friendly lawfulness.
Still the case of Christopher Johnson beggars belief. Returning to Tokyo after a short trip on December 23rd he was ushered into an examination room, where his nightmare began. Over the next 24 hours he was imprisoned and harassed. Most of his requests to call a lawyer, the embassy or friends were denied, he says.
Officials falsified statements that he gave them and then insisted that he sign the erroneous testimony, he says. Guards tried to extort money from him and at one point even threatened to shoot him, he says—unless he purchased a wildly expensive ticket for his own deportation, including an overt kick-back for his tormentors. Once he was separated from his belongings, money was stolen from his wallet and other items removed from his baggage (as he has reported to the Tokyo police)….”
If you want to stop cancer in its tracks just take vitamin D3 coral calcium and virgin coconut oil. Research has proven this to be true. Check it out. In fact coconut oil kills the H1 N1 and H5 N1 viruses and AIDS. Not to mention A bunch of other deseases.
Sounds as if Health CA is about as compromised and concerned with personal liberty as it’s [snip] the FDA.
Say no people. Not only no but hell no to tyranny!
