Japanese government underestimates internal exposure to the radiation:

Most of doctors in Japan have been remaining silent about the danger of the internal exposure to the radiation.  They would just say to their patient who has heavy nose bleeding, diarrhea, etc. [Nothing to do with the radiation.  Worrying is the most damaging thing in relation to the radiation.]  Also there is no warning from the Japanese government either.  We often heard this phrase – “There is no immediate effect on the body or the health”.

Doctor Junro Fuse is an internist, a head of Kusugi medical clinic near Tokyo.  Here is the typescript of some of his talk.  I added some of my own translation in paces.  The sound of the video is not clear sometimes, which often happens in the video that has an important message to the public regarding to the danger of the radiation.)

There are restrictions being placed on the information about internal exposure to radiation that hass lead to the general population losing their sense of crisis about the danger.

Ever since the Fukushima accident occurred the Japanese government has been insisting consistently that things are safe.  And there has not been any detail information emerging from TV and the newspaper and etc..

Numbers that have been released by the government related to the amount of contamination of the land in Japan are very different from the numbers that have been published by the third party, for example organizations outside of Japan, it’s hard to interpreted in any other way, but to say that are under-reported and underestimating the numbers.

Most doctors in Japan are not concern about internal exposure to radiation and remain silent.  That is the exactly the case with the academic community of doctors who specializes in thyroid.  They aren’t trained about internal exposure, they are going along with the message from the government and mass media that says everything is safe.

Internal exposure is the accumulation of what is absorbed through the mouth through food and respiration.  ECRR (European Community of Radiation Risk) has stated that they believed the risk from internal exposure is between 200-600 times greater than the risk from external exposure.  The damage that can result from internal exposure is not limited to cancers but also to break down the immune system and blood circulatory system disorders and so force.  But the Japanese government has a little attention and a very low evaluation of the risks and disease resulting from the internal exposure. There are hot spots even within Tokyo metropolitan area that lead to these physiological disorders.  Some of the disorders have been observed and shown there are things like diarrhea, headache, Nose bleeding, eczema and so force.   We are expected to see not only thyroid disorders and leukemia in children and caners in adult but also circulatory disorders, diabetics, digestive disorders and others disorders as well.
