Fukushima Radiation is Reaching the US

In spite of the media and government reports that are downplaying the severity of the radiation releases from the Fukushima nuclear reactors, it is very dangerous. Much more dangerous than the authorities or media would like to admit. We already know that the government has a vested interest in having people remain calm and distracted from the facts. The nuclear industry is populated with big, powerful corporations that make a lot of money building nuclear power plants.

The EPA is reporting that there have been radionuclides found in drinking water in the United States, as well as radioactive contamination of milk. In fact, some levels of radioactive Iodine 131 in drinking water have been above the EPA safety limits! What is even worse is that there has also been contamination of milk with radioactivity. The issue with milk is that it represents the general condition of the food chain because cows eat grass and are exposed to the same environment as food crops and water supplies. The inference is that when there is radioactivity in cows' milk, there is radioactive contamination throughout the entire food supply.

With all of this radioactivity being spewed around the Earth by this nuclear accident, you would think that governments would be working to protect their populations, or at least would tell the people how to protect themselves. But this is not the case.

The authorities from most countries actually appear to be more concerned with lulling the people to sleep. They are focused on making sure that the people remain complacent about this nuclear fallout. Scientists agree that there is no safe exposure level for radioactive isotopes. Although the exposure levels may not appear to be high in the air or water, the thing about exposure to radionuclides is that the exposure is cumulative. It appears that the Fukushima nuclear plants will be releasing radiation and radioactive particles for many months, if not years. It has already been reported that they are releasing enormous amounts of radioactivity into the ocean. It is just a matter of time before the fish, shrimp and other sea creatures are contaminated with radioactive particles.

The astute person will want to take steps to remove radionuclides from the body. We may not be able to stop the release of radioactivity, but we can do some things to protect ourselves and our children from radioactive contamination. It makes sense to err on the side of caution, regardless of the opinion of government officials. If you wait for them to warn you of the danger of radioactivity, it may be too late.
