Not that I don't put it past the government but she was telling me tonight that the government is lying about the amount of radiation thats been leaking out in Japan and that I should be taking kelp to counteract radiation falllout. She was also saying they haven't locked it down because they're consciously killing people. Saying it was worse than Chernobyl. She was also saying the chem trails from the jets because they've been spraying the sky will cause acid rain and that I shouldn't go outside when it rains heavily. Seriously? is she listening to herself? Her bf is online all the time on these hokey websites and he's feeding her this stuff and I'm starting to worry a bit. It's not that I don't believe it's possible but she's starting ti sound like a paranoid freak. Though I'd never tell her that. I just nod and listen.

They've detected radiation in Darwin (Northern Australia for the ignorant) when it was said it could never reach this far.:dunno
It would not surprise me in the slightest if we were being mislead about the levels.

They were lying about the radiation levels. It's not too far fetched about the other stuff.
Now the kelp thing....eww

I think that anyone that thinks their government wouldn't lie to them is living in " la la land ".
Now I'm not sure if your mom is right or wrong in her beliefs but I would never trust the government where my health is concerned.:cool

Do you guys have any idea how many independent radiation stations are out there? Does the government control all those as well?

http://www.radiationnetwork.com/

You can look at that map for up to the minute readings across the US.

(...conspiracies are awesomaticalz...)

On a side note, I just had a few unanswered questions actually answered by reading the very first post.

(...it explains a lot now...)

I wish thee mother well.

You take them in pill form like any other vitamin. They're sold in health food stores. I saw them on the self of the local organic/all natural grocer here.

Seriously Cam? To call one indirectly ignorant because they may not know about a town in a country they're not even from? Hell I must be ignorant of my own state we have so many Podunk towns with merely 100s of people it's hard to keep track of them all.

While I tend to agree with you... There disclaimer kinda ruins your argument.

Huh? Are you saying that Cam is indirectly calling you ignorant?

Read the reports again, they said it WOULD reach Australia... This is a direct quote from The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency, "Due to weather patterns either side of the equator, there will be minimal plume movement to the southern hemisphere."

The amounts detected were millions of times lower than safe levels...

Air samples taken on April 5 and 6, and from April 8 to 13, showed while it was detectable, "the airborne contamination measured at Darwin is at insignificant levels".

"These radiation levels are millions times lower than safe levels and will have negligible health impacts on the Australian public," the warning said.

"The detection of Xe-133 at Darwin is of no health significance for any person in Darwin or in Australia."

Yes, you can be "ignorant of facts" Dana. I am totally ignorant when it comes to half your "Podunk" towns too.:)

But, perhaps I could have used the word "uninformed"

and as for YOU personally being ignorant? Well, I shall refrain from sayin anything else, I'll let others be the judge of that.;)

Of course they need that disclaimer. These are independent sites reporting data. They need to cover their ass in case one of them malfunctions and gives off false readings and causes a panic.

Just look at the monitors and you can see that the average is just that, average background radiation.

When it first happend, I watched on TV, numerous "experts" from Lucas Heights (Our reactor for the ignorant;)) saying it would not reach here. One of themI had worked with (Yes, I worked there for a short time)
Perhaps they were just "sound bites" I dont really know.
Obviously thats changed since the situation over there has gotten worse., and I know the levels are only low, but they're still there.

You are being exposed to more radiation from Chernobyl than this accident in Japan. :dunno

You are getting more radiation exposure from your smoke detectors than you are from Japan. :dunno

It is always hilarious at times on Dana's Threads.

(...definitely a text based Mortal Kombat going on here...)

Be funny if someone used a Friendship Fatality for once though.

Dana you can't seriously believe that the government tells us the truth on much of anything, I don't trust a word they tell me.
