Guardian reports on the first surf shop in the Fukushima region since the tsunami and disaster at the nuclear plant.

At the Fukushima city railroad station, away from the evacuation zone, there was a solar powered radiation monitor that everyone could check.

Does radiation dissipate that fast? The effects from the leak were seen across the Pacific and now they are just gone?

-------------------------
I was right.

Don't let facts get in the way of the story, Cole. Everything's just FINE. No, really.

Does radiation dissipate that fast? The effects from the leak were seen across the Pacific and now they are just gone? The netflicks? show 'Dark Tourist' had an episode where they visited Fukushima...... They were on a bus tour and it seemed OK some of the time.... BUT They kept going in and out of hot spots. The radiation meters would go hot in some places and they freak out and get back on the bus to move out of the hot spots.... Finally the people on the bus voted and they ended up cutting the tour short because they didn't want to be exposed to any more radiation.... It made it seem like Japan wants people to move back into the area but it was still showing leathal levels in some places...

-------------------------

The Japanese are great people, very polite, respectful, will smile at you even though they don't like you. But their gov't will not hesitate to hide certain things from the public. And even though the common Japanese citizen is not dumb, they collectively tend to just go along with certain things instead of rocking the boat. That was my observation from living there. Would have loved to have surfed Fukushima, back then, without any fear of radiation. That country has a variety of waves and the beachbreaks and rivermouths are excellent

I hear the surf there is nuking! Sorry but someone was bound to say it.

Some guy stole my line.
You cant eat much pelagic fish, actually most seafood: because of mercury or bluegreen algae contamination here in florida. There are posted safe consumption levels for every species, lake, river, and harbor.
Sick......
But feel free to eat as much fukushima sushi as possible. They say it's safe....
Of course the west coasts of north, central, and south america now get to enjoy mercury AND atomic contamination consumption limits on their seafood.
Wear your leadlined eco friendly wetsuit there, and be sure to include tours of nagasaki and hiroshima.
My great japanese friends: hang in there brothers and sisters. It's a global issue now, up to us.
Btw: great surf, great surfers there

Despite continuing leakage, the sheer size of the Pacific and vigorous currents mean there's not much problem. Remember that nuclear weapons tests in the 1950s were exceedingly dirty. The real scandal for radiation exposure is at Chernobyl. This new book is important. Kate Brown, Manual for Survival: A Chernobyl Guide to the Future

sure, dubdub!

Who needs Fukushima 5-g will be here soon enough

Considering that three of the reactors are still burning it's way down to the center, I don't think being in the Pacific anywhere is safe. I had heard/read that 80% of radiation ejected into the atmosphere stays up there and that's why people freak or pass out on long flights. So I bought this, http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html...+Detector+%2F&_sacat=0 On the Tarmac it reads 8 to 17 SV/h (Russian). Up in the air it's in the hundreds. From ORF to ATL Ive seen it as high as 315.

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down as he wades through the buildings towards the center of town oh oh Godzilla oh no they're goes tepco nrg co go go Godzilla.

It turns out that crew on our nuclear subs get less cancer than the population that stays above sea level

Solar Energy Kills

"The truth is incontrovertible.
malice may attack it,
ignorance may deride it,
but in the end,
there it is." -Sir Winston Churchill

^Surfers get more than their fair share of solar energy. Check your bday suit on your bday and see the dermatologist. Skin cancer is nearly 100% curable if caught early.

Yep.....my dermatologist came at me with a scalpel last week for the first time ever. Cut a big ole chunk out of my chest.

Maybe the radioactive water will deflect the solar radiation?

-------------------------
I was right.

Radiation exposure while flying is significant for flight crews. The farthest north I've been in the air was over Fairbanks, Alaska. Sorry to hear about the big chunk of chest meat. Someone I know has a basal cell carcinoma of the neck that was hard to detect, so wasn't spotted until it was big. Treatment is by simultaneous super-noxious chemotherapy and radiation. He's in serious pain and having a very hard time eating. But guaranteed to be cured. My ear with its ear lobe recently removed looks quite good and either everyone's been super polite, or hasn't noticed that it doesn't match the other ear.

Enough radiation might be fatal, but enough birthdays are absolutely without a doubt going to be fatal. In fact it can be argued that there is nothing deadlier than birthdays.

Iodine tincture kills skin cancer. Apply directly to affected area with q tip. Keep your ph balanced and flood your system with o2. Eat fermented foods keep that gut flora proper.

Sorry for asking, but what in the hell is fermented food?

-------------------------
I was right.

wheat soup - aka beer cole. duh

Does a nice single malt rye count? I would think a few fingers of that might be somewhat detrimental to the little floras, kinda like the equivalent of a human surfing in Fukushima.



-------------------------
I was right.

^That's actually a theory of why we tolerate a toxic like ethanol. Rotting (fermenting) fruit produces a pretty vigorous odor so it's easy to find and eat. If you or your microbiome is susceptible to ethanol poisoning, eating it is not an advantage so you lose in the evolutionary sense. So, are we and our microbiome predisposed to like ethanol? You decide.

Kefir,kimchi,kombucha(fermented tea), brine soaked veggies in mason jars like granny used to make. Food as medicine. Avoid the oncology industrial complex. The goal is to promote aerobic respiration within the cells as opposed to anaerobic. Never let yourself get heartburn, stop consuming shit that gives it too you. Start using a detox rid yourself of poisons I use a product called livercare. Use baking soda and lemons to help balance ph. Even though lemons are very acidic it turns heavily alkaline once inside your system.stay stronger surf longer. That's Byron bay syndrome in a nutshell.

Some more than others, that's for damn sure.

Sounds interesting skunk, but don't completely discount science (aka doctors), I had a friend diagnosed with melanoma and he switched to your diet and only consumed high alkaline water. He was dead in six months.

-------------------------
I was right.

Me and my microbiome are going to have to make a pitt stop at the liquor store and test the theory.
