No Prussian Blue For You
FALSE STATEMENTS:
"The effects (of Prussian blue) on low-dose radiation dosages are completely unknown."
The (Japanese) government is saying that the pigment Prussian blue, is not known to have an effect on low-dose radiation.
http://mdn.mainichi.jp/mdnnews/news/20110709p2a00m0na024000c.html
The government is warning people to only take radiation medicine as prescribed by doctors, saying that the pigment Prussian blue, meant to be taken after heavy doses of radioactive cesium, is not known to have an effect on low-dose radiation and might even cause side effects such as irregular heartbeat.
At a June 30 press conference by the government and Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s disaster response team, Kazuhiko Maekawa, professor emeritus of emergency medicine at the University of Tokyo, said that "the effects (of Prussian blue) on low-dose radiation dosages are completely unknown."
The pigment Prussian blue, which is also used in paints, was found to encourage the ejection of cesium-137 when it was used on 46 people exposed to the isotope in an incident in Brazil in 1987. It was found to be particular effective on adults. However, almost no other data on Prussian blue's medical use exists. A German pharmaceutical company put the pigment into capsule form and began selling it in 1997 under the name Radiogardase.

No Prussian Blue (or KI) 4U
Tokyo ignored calls to issue iodine during crisis
http://ajw.asahi.com/article/0311disaster/analysis/AJ2011102615825
By YURI OIWA / Staff Writer
As the quake-stricken Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant was spewing radiation, the Nuclear Safety Commission of Japan urged the central government to issue iodine tablets to residents in affected areas. But Tokyo apparently ignored the advice. The central government did not issue instructions to municipalities in Fukushima Prefecture to lessen the health risk faced by residents.
Cesium and strontium were among radioactive materials leaked from the plant.
Under existing guidelines, the task force set up in Fukushima to handle the nuclear crisis is supposed to act on advice given by the NSCJ. As such, it was negligent in not issuing directives for iodine tablets to be handed out. Gen Suzuki, a member of an advisory panel at the NSCJ and president of the International University of Health and Welfare, said, "I sent a statement (to the headquarters) a few times saying residents with at least 10,000 cpm of radiation should take iodine tablets."
Later that same day, the crisis headquarters in Fukushima faxed the NSCJ a draft statement to be issued to municipal governments in the prefecture. It made no mention of iodine tablets, the NSCJ said. The NSCJ then repeated its advice to the headquarters in Tokyo.
No Anti-Radiation Drugs and evacuation delays
Japan ignored the data, and failed to evacuate residents OR distribute anti-radiation drugs.

Nuclear special team sent to Japan right after 3/11
In recent interviews with Kyodo News, US sources involved in making the decision to dispatch the team said that on March 14, 2011, three days after the nuclear disaster began, the White House's National Security Council decided to send the CMRT to Fukushima Prefecture at the request of US Forces Japan and the US Embassy in Tokyo.
Tokyo: The US sent a special nuclear response team trained to handle nuclear accidents and terrorism to Japan soon after the outbreak of the March 2011 nuclear disaster, but Tokyo was slow to make use of radiation data from the unit, according to a media report.
The Japanese government, however, did not acknowledge the significance of the team's mission and failed to immediately utilise the initial data provided by the team for evacuation of residents living around the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
An ongoing humanitarian crisis
Red Cross labels Fukushima evacuations humanitarian crisis
http://ajw.asahi.com/article/0311disaster/analysis/AJ201210170083
Asahi Shimbun, October 17, 2012, By HIROYUKI MAEGAWA/ Correspondent
GENEVA--Last year's nuclear disaster is an ongoing "humanitarian crisis," according to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), which released its World Disasters Report 2012 on Oct. 16. The report, subtitled "Focus on forced migration and displacement," described the March 2011 accident at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant as a technological disaster leading to the "evacuation and resettlement of affected communities."
The report quoted an evacuee from an exclusion zone within a 20-kilometer radius of the Fukushima plant as saying: "We followed the authorities' instructions and ended up somewhere where the radioactivity was still high." The report said comments like this highlight "the complex mix of anger, distress and uncertainty."
Governments have generally not emphasized potential threats in the vicinity of nuclear power plants, IFRC Under Secretary General Matthias Schmale told a news conference. He said governments should ensure such information is made more transparent, and added that the Fukushima disaster has not ended.
Nuclear Victims
U.N. envoy: Japan should do more for nuclear victims
Health survey should cover "all radiation-affected zones"
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2012/11/26/japan-nuclear-victim...
10:53a.m. EST November 26, 2012
TOKYO (AP) — A United Nations rights investigator said Monday that Japan hasn't done enough to protect the health of residents and workers affected by the Fukushima nuclear accident.
Anand Grover, U.N. special rapporteur on the right to health, said the government has adopted overly optimistic views of radiation risks and has conducted only limited health checks after the partial meltdowns at several reactors at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant caused by an earthquake and tsunami in 2011.
He said in Chernobyl the obligatory resettlement threshold limit was just one-quarter of Japan's.
Although he welcomed ongoing health checks of affected residents, Grover said they were too narrow in scope because they are only intended to cover Fukushima's 2 million people, and that only children are being given thyroid tests, even though the impact of radiation went far beyond Fukushima's borders. He said the health survey should cover "all radiation-affected zones" stretching across much of the northeastern half of the main Japanese island of Honshu. So far, only one-quarter of Fukushima's population has been covered.

Chornobyl not good example
"The scope of the survey is unfortunately narrow as they draw on the limited lessons from the Chornobyl accident and ignore epidemiological studies that point to cancer as well as other diseases in low-dosage radiation," Grover said.
He said the government's use of a radiation threshold of 20 millisieverts per year — an annual cap set for nuclear industry workers that is more than 10 times the three-year limit for ordinary citizens — in determining off-limits areas around the plant conveys a misleading message that doses up to that level are safe.

Radiation Recipes
:(
No Prussian Blue or KI, but Japan does offer radiation cooking lessons.
Nouveau Nippon Cooking Lessons - Please hold the cesium
Kunikazu Noguchi, lecturer at Nihon University, says that radiation, though invisible and odorless, can be treated and cleaned up like a stain, noting that by rinsing the food well before cooking, preferably with hot water, and/or boiling or stewing it, a large portion of radioactive elements can be removed.
http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fs20110920a2.html
The good news is, cesium can be easily dissolved in water. So the best way to prepare vegetables and fruits is to rinse them well before cooking. If possible, cut vegetables into small pieces and soak them in water for a while.
More radiation in spinach and other leafy vegetables can be removed if they are boiled. As for lettuces, throw away the outer leaf and rinse the rest well. Data from Chernobyl shows that rinsing lettuce can remove up to half of the cesium-134 and two thirds of the cesium-137. Cucumbers can be pickled with vinegar, which cuts radiation by up to 94 percent. Peeling carrots and boiling them with salted hot water would also help reduce cesium levels.
5 grams spinach per year
For the record, the initial contamination of the spinach supply in iodine 131, a young child would exceed the maximal annual dose admissible, when consuming only 5 grams of these foods.

Consequences of the Fukushima Daiichi Accident in Japan: A substantial and long-lasting contamination
The inhabitants of Fukushima City have been subjected to a very severe internal contamination, first, by inhaling contaminated air and mostly by ingesting foods contaminated by the deposits of radioactive substances. The Japanese authorities adopted consumption restrictions within the FUKUSHIMA prefecture only on March 21st and 23rd (according to food types). Populations therefore consumed, for a period of over a week, extremely contaminated foods without any restriction notice and with no information. They may have therefore received effective doses of several dozens milliSieverts (and even more) and doses to the thyroid gland exceeding the Sievert.
For the record, the initial contamination of the spinach supply in iodine 131, at 100 km south of the nuclear plant was such that when consuming 200 grams, a young child would exceed the maximal annual dose admissible of 1 milliSievert; at 40 kilometers northwest, the plants were so contaminated that the annual limit would be reached when consuming only 5 grams of these foods. It is essential that the exposed populations obtain reliable assessments on the dose levels they have been receiving and it is of utmost importance to strive to control further exposure in the future.
The fallout affects a very vast territory, well beyond the forbidden area of 20 km and far beyond the Fukushima Prefecture. Depending on weather conditions, contaminated air masses swept over hundreds of kilometers and precipitations (rain and snow) percolated radioactive particles down on the ground. Cesium 134 and 137 deposits are the cause of a lasting contamination. This has been confirmed by the soil samples and the dose rate measurements conducted1 by the CRIIRAD
Status: Condition RED
:
The USA has nothing to give Fukushima. If we shipped 100% of our strategic national stockpile counter-radiation drugs to fukushima; it would be an empty box.
If an upstream Missouri River dam had failed last week, at least 2 USA nuclear power plants would have melted down. The American 'downwinders' would have been trapped by floodwaters. No evacuation could have occurred.
There is no plan or system in place to warn Americans. There is no evacuation planned or possible. There is no nuclear decontamination equipment at hospitals. There are no radiation drugs to distribute. There is no zeolite water filtration system in the USA.
America is a 'sitting duck' for any nuclear emergency. The use of MOX fuel has more than doubled the likelihood of reactor meltdowns in the USA because of control issues. MOX power uprates have more than doubled the likelihood of containment failure. The 20 year life extensions for corroded, ancient plants has more than doubled the likelihood of multiple reactor core meltdowns. The added plutonium in MOX fuel has more than doubled the health consequences of a reactor failure.
Worse, every page of the USA national nuclear disaster response plan is a lie. These ongoing lies have prevented the population from making their own preparations for nuclear disaster. You're On Your Own. (YOYO)

It is a matter of idle curiosity for Americans. It is a matter of life and death to Japanese children. It would appear highly unlikely that none of the Radiogardase capsules have been distributed. I suspect that certain connected Japanese dignataries are taking these pills. It would seem to be a natural journalistic follow-up question, “Where are the 72,000 complimentary PB pills?” But what would a ‘Jingai!’ know of such matters? Perhaps such a question is considered impertinent among parents of dying Japanese children. Does such a statement ‘stand-unchallenged’? I understand that the Japanese public is quite well informed and technically literate.

You’re Not Worthy, But Goldman Is. It is official: Goldman Sachs is more important than you are. At least that is the way that the public may perceive a WSJ story today that Goldman was one of several Wall Street firms that received large dosages of swine flu vaccines, while some New York City hospitals and clinics are running out of the vaccine.
USA TODAY examined how state health departments distributed H1N1 vaccine after public outcry last month over Wall Street firms such as Goldman Sachs receiving doses while doctors and hospitals encountered shortages. The data show other companies got the vaccine in October and early November. In some cases, early doses went to people not deemed most at risk by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Now we have evidence of what my suspicions were," said U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., chair of a House health subcommittee. "I'm afraid when you have these corporate initiatives, it's not primarily needs-based."
Should companies be allowed to buy large quantities of medicine like Tamiflu to have on hand in case their employees develop the H1N1 flu virus? Not according to the law in South Korea, where it’s illegal for non-medical professionals to purchase big lots of drugs. Punishment is up to five years in prison. The law is at the center of a probe of Tamiflu maker Roche, which is being investigated by the Korean Food and Drug Adminstration for allegedly helping companies like HSBC and fellow drug maker Novartis get the stuff, according to Bloomberg. The Korean FDA launched the probe because it says that HSBC and Norvartis bought enough Tamiflu to treat 6,000 people. Roche says it is “cooperating fully with the authorities.”
