Somebody is trying to spread fear again. Somebody who has a similar modus operandi as the anthrax terrorist fiasco that gripped the nation a few years back. The first part of the plan is to bomb, kill and maim in a very public place, the second is to spread the fear of terrorism beyond its original geographic location.
Somehow, with anti-terrorism forces out in full force with bomb-sniffing dogs and all, a yet unidentified terrorist successfully stashed nails and ball bearings in pressure cookers with explosives and went undetected.

Given new understandings in radiation biology, there is a real possibility that people in Japan exposed to low-dose nuclear radiation in a geographical perimeter outside of the immediate area of radiation leakage near Fukushima, Japan will actually live longer and healthier lives.
This pre-drawn conclusion is made in the light of recently published studies that confirm the biological phenomenon known as hormesis, explained as exposure to mild biological threats that trigger the body’s internal antioxidant defenses and speed repair of damaged DNA.
This is a follow-up report pertaining to human nuclear radiation health hazards posed by the tsunami/earthquake-induced nuclear plant radiation leaks in Fukushima, Japan which I first reported in March of 2011.

A report in the New York Times accuses Big Pharma of rigging the ineffectiveness of cheaper blood thinners like aspirin to covertly coerce doctors into prescribing more expensive pills like Plavix and Warfarin (coumadin).
The New York Times report emanates from a study published in Circulation, a journal of The American Heart Association, which found the problem of aspirin resistance, estimated to affect 5-40% of aspirin users, is not physiological resistance at all but rather ineffectiveness caused by the enteric coating of the aspirin pills.
The researchers who made this discovery covered for the drug company by calling the problem “An Unintended Consequence of Enteric Coating Aspirin.” But the New York Times article said “some prominent doctors say that the prevalence of the condition has been exaggerated by companies and drug makers with a commercial interest in proving that aspirin — a relatively inexpensive, over-the-counter drug whose heart benefits have been known since the 1950s — does not always work.”

When a political commentator like Ann Couler weighed in on FoxNews about the radiation hazard posed by nuclear power plants damaged by a severe earthquake and tsunami in Japan, you can be sure there will be questions over what motivated her to speak out on this topic. According to Coulter, a little bit of radiation is good for you.
The timing of this pronouncement appears to be particularly insensitive to Japan where food is contaminated and there is direct radiation exposure to people in the immediate area of damaged nuclear power plants. Did the nuclear power industry somehow influence Ann Coulter to spread disinformation that would be a partial cover for their culpability in the recent leak of radiation in Japan? Hardly.
In the aftermath of the earthquake/tsunami in Japan, a global map which erroneously showed lethal doses of radiation could be carried in the atmosphere to North America spread via the internet, spread fear throughout North America. The demand for the antidote to radiation-induced thyroid cancers, potassium iodide pills, far exceeded the supply.

In a politically-motivated operation, the General Accounting Office has chosen to launch a witch hunt against dietary supplements, employing frightening headlines that inaccurately warn the public of heavy metals in herbal supplements and of misdirected advice offered by health store clerks, at a time when legislation is pending in Congress to usher in greater enforcement and restrictions over these popularly-used products.
The GAO report itself fails to provide adequate evidence of a public hazard. The GAO report, entitled “HERBAL DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS, Examples of Deceptive or Questionable Marketing Practices and Potentially Dangerous Advice,” presented before the Special Committee on Aging, U.S. Senate, says:

At a birthday party for a 70-year-old relative on my wife’s side of the family, I met one of his sons, in his 40s. His son had never been raised by his biological father, having lived out of State all his growing and adult years. Father and son had only belatedly become acquainted, as they had talked on the phone many times, and were physically meeting for the first time at this party.
It was interesting to observe that father and son had similar mannerisms, physically and verbally. It was striking.
Biologists think they now know what is responsible for this observed phenomenon: genes have memory. Oh, not memory in their structure (DNA ladder) but in their switching. You see, human genes are not only organized in a sequential spiral ladder of 25,000 or so-called lettered genes (a deletion or substitution in the letters results in a gene mutation), genes also have switching mechanisms that can cause a gene to produce or not produce proteins (what biologists call gene expression or gene silencing). This switching mechanism is called epigenetics and it is actively in play every moment of life, influenced by environmental factors such as temperature, food, radiation, and surprisingly, behavior.
