a lesson to be taken: Rich or poor, strong or weak, happy or miserable....Nature doesn't see it!

... SHOULD be doing is preferring charges against the Government of Japan, for all the previous cover-ups of incidents at their nuclear plants and for not hardening the plants to a level sufficient to withstand earthquakes of the magnitude of the earthquakes that hit Japan. If anyone believes that radioactive iodine is the only radioactive element that has been released into the atmosphere and the ocean, then you are terminally stupid. And Japan is to blame. They should have asked for help immediately. They dragged their feet, and who knows how many people will become ill as a result of their self-imposed need to "save face." Then there's the little matter of radioactive seawater being pumped back into the ocean. Millions of people depend upon the ocean for their livelihood and for sustenance. Japan needs to be held accountable.

Vitamin C (full spectrum bioflavinoid) 5,000mg to 10,000mg daily to reverse the damage. Cilantro and diatomateious earth pull out toxic heavy metals and radio-active isotopes. But the worst to come is the ostracism of those Japanese who lived in the most toxic areas by Japanese who did not. The Japanese who were irradiated the worst are being turned away from shelters by those who were less irradiated who are fearful radiation is contagious which it is not to my knowledge. The children from the irradiated areas will suffer a witch-hunt later in life unless they hide where they came from. After the atomic attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the people from those areas were ostracized by other Japanese who did background searches to see if a person lived in Nagasaki or Hiroshima in 1945. Marriage to those people was discouraged. The nightmare for the Japanese on Honshu is only beginning.

Rivkah. Please stop. Vitamin C is thought -- THOUGHT -- by some crackpots to have some effect in reducing the effect of ultra violet rays on exposed skin. Most dermatologists (my sister is one) disagree. Besides, UV exposure is not a factor here. Heavy metals radiation -- with very long half-lives -- that have been emitted into the atmosphere and present in the sea water which is being pumped back into the ocean are factors. Please keep your holistic "cures" to yourself. Most of them are patently absurd, anyway. I'll tell you what -- let's test your Vitamin C cure. Buy some Japanese-grown spinach, and you and your family go ahead and consume it, taking all the units of Vitamin C that you wish alongside. Let us know the results.

were taken to two hospitals a mile from the bombsite. At one hospital the irradiated patients were given commercial foods to eat and at the other hospital they were given fresh foods and seaweed (iodine and vitamin C and lots of other nutrients in fresh fruits and vegetables). All the radiation exposed patients in the Japanese hospital who were fed commercial foods died. All the radiation exposed patients at the hospital that gave them seaweed and fresh foods lived. Your sister and you are stuck in crackpot conventional medicine when the world has moved on. There are physicians who gave up practising in hospitals because intravenous Vitamin C which cures or reverses or accomplishes a remission in many diseases is banned in most hospitals because the big pharmaceutical houses own many of the doctors and medical schools from funding them. Vitamin C and cilantro are known to pull radiation from the body and to reverse the effects of radiation. There are many other ways to pull radiation out of the body and you should look into that before you and your sister and your children get cancer from the toxic radioactive cloud encircling the globe. Don't think so? Dr. David Edwards, the Physician of the Year for America and California some years ago (he practices medicine in Clovis, California) wrote a book on the effects of the radio active cloud from Chernobyl (nuclear meltdown) and found that the entire world's fresh wate supplies were contaminated with radio active isotopes from Chernobyl which was a 7 level category nuclear meltdown. Fukushima is a category 6 nuclear meltdown and the radiation is still being emitted into the atmosphere since it has not been cemented over like Chernybyl was. Germany still has radioactive cesium-137 in its soil that is half as toxic as 30 years ago since that is its half-life. The US Surgeon General who is female and a Black warned that the radioactive cloud going over the USA now is toxic and a health hazard. But the local governments who don't want to pay fo the poor to get potassium iodide to protect their thyroid gland from radioactive iodine-131 and Iodine-132 in the cloud are saying there is nothing to worry about. Many children got thyroid cancer after Chernobyl's cloud encircles the globe who were not given potassium iodide. But you are not concerned about people getting cancer since if that happens that cash on the table for you and your physician husband and big pharma. It's good for business to ignore a health hazard like that, isn't it?

Please document your fanciful little tale about post-Hiroshima irradiated patients in the two hospitals. I have found nothing in the medical journals to support your claim. Tell you what -- if you ever (G-d forbid) develop, say, cancer that reaches Stage IIIC before being detected, and then you go on high doses of Vitamin C and seaweed and reject "crackpot" chemotherapy. Just don't forget to make a Will and arrange for a burial plot. Vitamin C and cilantro? Are you completely out of your mind? By the way, do you know that Vitamin C can hamper your ability to conceive? Forever? Or cause you to spontaneously abort? (It is used as an abortifacient, you know.) Think before dispensing curbside medicine, okay? You are doing far more harm than good. If you want to stick with your ridiculous herbal therapies -- fine. It's your body. Just don't foist your stupidity onto others using this Forum as a vehicle.

a woman or her fetus. If a woman take 100 times the maximum amount recommended, that could harm her and the fetus, just as drinking too much water can be harmful. Cilantro is affordable to people as are lemon rinds while buying products that chelate out radiation is not for some people. Many things cause a person or fetus to be exposed to radiation with possible birth defects resulting: microwaving foods, cell phones and cell phone towers and cordless phoness and computers and backscatter x-rays at airports and x-rays and CT scans. This radiation is harmful and should be chelated out as well as the radiation from the radioactive clouds that are from Japan that are encircling the globe. To get enough Vitamin C to abort a fetus, a woman would have to take so much she would vomit it up before it much is absorbed into the bloodstream. Vitamin C reverses the damage from radiation and you are foolish to think your body or the body of a fetus does not need a nutrient the human body cannot make for itself. I do not dispense curbside medicine or hallway medicine. I am a healthcare professional who took an oath to protect the public and I take that seriously and do the best I can to protect not only people who paid me when I worked for a paycheck but those who do not pay me like the readers of YNET who may not have someone to guide them on certain issues with the knowledge I have to protect them with. I think you have a personality disorder that causes you to hate educated women like myself. That is your problem and it appears I cannot help you since there is a hostility in you that is demonic. You need God's help, not mine.

Dear Arguers of Vitamin C, have you not lost the thread here ? Why can't you focus on getting help over there to the people who really need it rather than having a slanging match. I bet the doctors who've gone over there are. thank heavens.

Dear Rivkah, I'm with you on this. I'm hoping all goes well for the Japanese affected by this catastrophe. Best wishes, D
