FUKUSHIMA RADIATION May Cause An EVACUATION Of TOKYO JAPAN Says Doctor

Japanese Physician Calls for Evacuation of Tokyo
Strange things happening — Medications don't seem to work — Rare diseases increasing dramatically Dr. Shigeru Mita, Mita Clinic in Tokyo: Our patients mostly come from Tokyo, Chiba, Kanagawa, Saitama, and other Northern Kanto areas. The pediatricians' general textbook says that reference value of neutrophil [the most abundant type of white blood cells, essential part of immune system] for healthy children (6-12 years old) is [...] 4000, but it has shifted to 2500. It is lower than the threshold value of 3000. I think this points at a serious problem. [...] In the summer of 2011, there were many children with bloodshot eyes; and what we saw most were children with dark circles under the eyes. [...] we are seeing more cases of sinusitis accompanied with mild case of asthma continuing for longer periods. And when these children spend some time in the West, they get better. If at all possible, I would like them to move away from East Japan. [...] [...] radioactive substances coming from Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant have reached Tokyo, and huge amounts of contaminated waste is being burned here as well, I cannot deny the possibility that we are inhaling radioactive substances contained in the air. Again, let me repeat that after the nuclear accident, enormous amounts of nuclear substances were released in the environment. Therefore, if we see an increase in symptoms that are different from the ones we've seen before, we physicians should "first consider the effects of radioactivity." [...] Mita: [...] But my real hope is to have not just children but also adults move away from Tokyo. [...] [The adult] conditions are definitely different compared to how it was before the nuclear accident. With elderly people, it takes more time for asthma to heal. The medication doesn't seem to work. We also see more patients with diseases that had been rare before; for example, polymyalgia rheumatica [...] Before 3.11, we had one or less patient per year. Now, we treat more than 10 patients at the same time. [...] I think doctors who knew their patients well should become aware of the strange things that were happening to them. [...]




The stricken nuclear plant at Fukushima in northern Japan is in such a delicate condition that a future earthquake could trigger a disaster that would decimate Japan and affect the entire West Coast of North America, a prominent scientist has warned.

Speaking at a symposium on water ecology at the University of Alberta in Canada, prominent Japanese-Canadian scientist David Suzuki said that the Japanese government had been "lying through its teeth" about the true extent of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster.

He attributed the cover-up to the Japanese government's collusion with the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) that administers the plant.

"Fukushima is the most terrifying situation that I can imagine," Suzuki said, adding that another earthquake could trigger a potentially catastrophic, nuclear disaster.

"The fourth [reactor] has been so badly damaged that the fear is if there's another earthquake of a 7 or above then that building will go and all hell breaks loose," he said, adding that the chances of an earthquake measuring 7 or above in Japan over the next three years were over 95 percent.

"If the fourth [reactor] goes under an earthquake and those rods are exposed, then it's bye, bye, Japan and everybody on the west coast of North America should be evacuated. And if that isn't terrifying, I don't know what is," Suzuki said.

Japanese officials have admitted for the first time that thousands of people evacuated from areas near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant may never be able to return home.
