American Children Suffering From Possible Radiation Sickness
Sunday, the prestigious Doctor Mark Sircus released a new report concurring with a host of scientists and other doctors giving evidence that people of Japan and United States have been subjected to dangerous levels of radiation since Fukushima nuclear plant meltdowns, and also subjected to a tight cover-up by authorities and media, the result of which will be millions of baby deaths and new cancer victims. Japanese and American children are already suffering with symptoms that appear to be the first signs of Radiation Sickness.
"Finally, three months later, we are getting some numbers on what the real dangers are. And finally we can begin to understand the enormous cover-up of the nuclear doom that is reaching lungs all over the west coast of America, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii and at least half of Japan!" stated Dr. Mark Sircus.
"I am afraid I will have to be brutally honest and be the bearer of really terrible news. The information coming out about hot particle concentrations near Fukushima, Tokyo, and now Seattle tell us that not only should all those populations be worrying but their governments should have been issuing evacuation orders months ago."
"Because of the jet stream in April, after the large explosions that destroyed three reactor buildings, it was as dangerous in Seattle and much of the west coast of North America as in Tokyo."

Let the debunking begin
The economy is no stranger to
The economy is no stranger to creating its own fantasy world with little or no relation to the real one. We witnessed the damage that can cause when the banks thought they had stumbled on financial alchemy and could transform bad debt into good – economic base metal into gold.
Now it's possible that a much bigger error is coming to light. The rise and rise of global corporations lifted on a wave of apparent productivity gains may have been little more than a mask for the reckless liquidation of natural capital. It's as if we've been so distracted by our impressive speed of economic travel that we forgot to look at the fuel gauge or the cloud of smog left in our wake.
A new UN report estimates that accounting for the environmental damage of the world's 3,000 biggest companies would wipe out one-third of their profits. Any precise figure, however, is a matter of how risk is quantified and of where you draw the line. In 2006, for example, the New Economics Foundation (NEF), of which I am the policy director, looked at the oil companies BP and Shell, who together had recently reported profits of £25bn. By applying the Treasury's own estimates of the social and environmental cost of carbon emissions, we calculated that the total bill for those costs would reach £46.5bn, massively outweighing profits and plunging the companies into the red.
Yet in exercises like this, we quickly hit the paradox of environmental economics. By putting a price on nature, hopefully it makes it less likely that we will treat the world, and its natural resources, as if it were a business in liquidation. Yet there is a point when it becomes meaningless to treat the ecosystems upon which we depend as mere commodities with a price for trading. For example, what price would you put on the additional tonne of carbon which, when burned, triggers irreversible, catastrophic climate change? Who would have the right to even consider selling off the climate upon which civilisation depends? The avoidance of such damage is literally priceless.

Sircus
Dangerous, deceptive, post over and over the same information (not his own research) on many of websites, does over the skype $250.00 an hour consultation, total humbug, lives in Brazil, no address. If he was residing in the USA (a former resident of Long Island) one could sue him for violation of law, practicing medicine without a shred of medical or any para medical information. sensationalist and raking money.
Possible in this generation.
Possible in this generation. Certain in the next generation. American genes are no doubt under detrimental mutation stressors.
MD
Somehow we lost track of the issue, but since it is being discussed. Medical doctors are great especially with emergency medicine, like a broken bone and such. Oriental medicine has a long history and uses a lot of interesting concepts. Please do not dismiss this type of practice. When a medical doctor might write a prescription for a drug that has huge side effects, and could possibly kill you. An oriental doctor examines "the whole body" and will find the "cause" and address the cause of the problem. So one practice masks the problem with a drug, one practice attempts to fix the cause of the problem therefore eliminating it. I would say this is a noble practice.
Our family has an been seeing an oriental medicine doctor for some 20 years or more, and often times it has a lot more benefits than traditional medicine. IMHO.
Cheers to good health.
A big reason why I don't go
A big reason why I don't go to doctors is that I usually end up paying to educate THEM.
Whenever I have a health issue, I utilize the interent and libraries to the hilt to get all the information I can get. Them I end up being seen by a doc who hasn't done the same. I always end up being disappointed, and my wallet ends up being lighter.
EPA ensures there are no data
From what I can see, the US government's EPA has ensured that there are no proper data from which one can do an epidemiological study. This is the real purpose of data diddling and withholding (with "avoiding public panic" being a side-benefit).
Unlike others on this thread though, I would not say this is a reason to discount what the doc says (and before they dismiss the doc's creds, they should look at what they actually study on his oriental med course--often these courses, especially in the US, consist of everything the orthodox docs do PLUS all the 'alternative'/esoteric stuff as well). The reason I give the doc some credibility is that I have been observing cases consistent with radiation sickness here in Europe since mid-March. And suffered symptoms myself.
Is he using Arnie
Is he using Arnie Gundersen's vague references to Hot Particle detection as the whole base for his statement? I wonder, can I sue Fairewinds for the amount of stress they are causing me and, indirectly, my kids?
Probably more appropriate to
Probably more appropriate to sue TEPCO, because it is their toxic fuel rod material that you are breathing in and eating in your food.
No one is forcing you to
No one is forcing you to visit Fairewinds or any other website. The only person causing you and your kids stress is you. If you are confident in the EPA and UCB results, why are you still here?
But by all means sue away.
Quack, quack
The Guy's not even a real M.D. He has an "honorary title of doctorate of Oriental medicine", for heaven's sake.
Where do they dig these quacks up? I guess Chris Busby, Helen Caldicott & Alex Jones were already booked.
pick a bale of cotton???
Right, right, we know an MD would prescribe some antidepressants and tell us everything's fine.
Do MDs get any special training on the subject of unprecedented (the fire was out at Chernobyl in like a week) nuclear disasters from multiple sources?
Did this guy claim to be an MD?
Helen Caldicott is an MD.
Do a little research before spouting off, for gods sake.

"Above all, never call anyone a name (such as "quack," "crook," or "fraud") unless you are willing to defend this claim in court."
This "prestigious Doctor
This "prestigious Doctor Mark Sircus" is neither a doctor nor prestigious. His name alone or his credentials are not going to support any scientific claim. If he has any information based on scientific data let's see it.
Dr Sircus
I tend to agree - Sircus is not credible. I think he uses baking soda to cure everything (simplifying a bit).
I doubt you'll find any proper credentials there. Most of these quacks claim they have "Phd"'s from the University of Alternate Lunacy, Somewhereville, U.S.A."
Arnie Gundersen is a different story altogether - highly credible. The hot particle counts are from air filters sent to him from Tokyo and Seattle and confirmed by other scientists. So, whoever wants to sue Arnie has really lost the battle to start with.
That being said, it's always good to start from a position of skepticism, then refine it as you go along.
"doctorate of Oriental
"doctorate of Oriental medicine"
Sounds pretty doctory to me.
So are only MDs doctors now? Somebody better tell Chivers.
"doctorate of Oriental
"doctorate of Oriental medicine" sounds like a bogus degree to impress the uneducated. And we all know what the general audience associates with the word "doctor". If I tell someone "I went to see a doctor" the usual response is not "But a doctor of what, geology?"
Please don't feed the
Please don't feed the trolls.
Actually believe it or not
Actually believe it or not it's a real degree.But your statement, "This "prestigious Doctor Mark Sircus" is neither a doctor nor prestigious"
is a falsehood. Is it "to impress the uneducated"?? Well I can't say.
The degree in question seems
The degree in question seems to be "honorary". Check this link:
Dr. Mark Sircus, one of the most prolific writers in medicine, holds the honorary title of doctor of Oriental medicine and was one of the first nationally certified acupuncturists in the United States. He was trained in acupuncture and oriental medicine at the Institute of Traditional Medicine in Santa Fe, N.M., and in the School of Traditional Medicine of New England in Boston. He served at the Central Public Hospital of Pochutla, in Mexico.

For all intents and purposes, the sentence "the prestigious Doctor Mark Sircus" is false.
He also claims to have "served" (they don't say in which function) at the Central Public Hospital of Pochutla, which is a district of the State of Oaxaca in Mexico, one of the poorest in the whole country. This isn't necessarily bad if he went there as part of an humanitarian project, but it's not exactly the kind of experience you would expect from a "prestigious doctor" as his only medical position.
Now, all this is clearly a personal attack against "the prestigious Doctor Mark Sircus" and I would very much like to see his data, since his credentials as a researcher are weak to say the least and unfortunately are the only base provided for the article OP posted.
I couldn't give a flying eff
I couldn't give a flying eff how prestigious he is or whether he meets your definition of doctor. Just for the record, he's not what I would call a "prestigious doctor" either and I can see why you'd balk at it, but if someone wants to call him that it's not technically refutable, but more to the point IT DOES NOT MATTER.
What about the CONTENT of what he said, can we discuss the aspect of this story that MATTERS, please?
But you're missing the
But you're missing the point. His credentials - or lack thereof - impact the veracity of his claims and the trustworthiness of his conclusions.
That's the problem, that he
That's the problem, that he didn't provide us with any data apart from repeating Arnie Gundersen's statement about the 5-10 "hot particles" for Seattle, without including any specifics about the conditions in which the data were obtained. The rest is just his opinion, backed up by nothing, since he is not a doctor (well, he claims to hold "the honorary title of doctor of Oriental medicine) nor prestigious (as far as I know).
Nuclear Doom
Nuclear Doom
With no concrete info about
With no concrete info about how and when the data were obtained it's impossible to debunk anything. Do you have a link to his research?
Also, I usually don't like personal attacks but this guy "was trained in acupuncture and oriental medicine at Institute of Traditional Medicine in Sante Fe, N.M., and at the School of Traditional Medicine of New England in Boston" and the article repeats the wording "the prestigious Doctor" too many times.
Anyway, let's see what is the base of his claims.
