"As Jane Plant, PhD, remarks in The No Dairy Breast Cancer Prevention Program: The Japanese cities of hiroshima and Nagasaki have similar rates of breast cancer: and remember, both cities were attacked with nuclear weapons, so in addition to the usual pollution-related cancers, one would also expect to find some radiation-related cases. If, as a North American woman, one was living a Japanese lifestyle in industrialized, irradiated hiroshima, you would slash your risk of contracting breast cancer by a half to a third. The conclusion is inescapable." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"This remarkable case was reported by doctors at the hiroshima City Hospital in hiroshima, Japan. [World Journal Gastroenterology 11: 6722-24, 2005] Vitamin C and cancer: mutant humans The chronic malnourished state of Americans creates a false sense of health. All human beings are vitamin C deficient when compared to most animals that continually produce vitamin C through the enzymatic conversion of blood sugar in their livers or kidneys." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"More than half of hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors were exposed to relatively low doses of radiation; nonetheless, they went on to develop cardiovascular disease and several types of cancer, including leukemia, thyroid cancer, and breast and lung cancer. In a report by the prestigious National Academy of Sciences, issued in 2006, experts estimated that a sixty-year-old who undergoes an annual whole-body CT scan over the next fifteen years has a 1 in 220 risk of dying from cancer due to radiation exposure. The risk of dying in a car accident, by way of comparison, is nearly the same, 1 in 200." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "The immediate result of the therapy was that her mother's chest, says McAndrew, "looked like she'd been sunbathing topless at hiroshima." The long-term result for Jean was that by the early 1990s she was having chest pains and finding it increasingly difficult to breathe. The radiation treatment had scarred her right lung, and this subsequently overtaxed her heart as it tried to pump blood to her stiffening lung. By 1995, Jean was tethered to an oxygen tank and declining steadily. It was clear she was going to die of either sudden heart failure or her lungs simply giving out." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"If, as a North American woman, one was living a Japanese lifestyle in industrialized, irradiated hiroshima, you would slash your risk of contracting breast cancer by a half to a third. The conclusion is inescapable. Clearly, some lifestyle factor not related to pollution, urbanization, or the environment is seriously increasing the Western woman's chance of contracting breast cancer." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"In 1996 a team of researchers looked into the health of men who had worked at the Poison Gas Resource Center located on Okuno Island, right at the harbor of hiroshima, one of Japan's centers of military production during World War II. The allies had been hesitant to bomb the concentration camps and gas factories of the Nazis, perhaps because they were so close to major economic centers of great interest to Allied firms. They also heeded pleas from the Rockefellers and Roosevelts to leave the ancient temples of Kyoto untouched. They showed no such reluctance with hiroshima." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"The possibility of green tea as a supportive agent during cancer treatment first emerged in the minds of researchers as a result of the exposure of Japanese civilians to massive levels of radiation after the atomic bombings of Nagasaki and hiroshima. Later, during the 1970s, Chinese investigators started to examine the potential of green tea extract as a protective agent against the effects of ionizing radiation. In 1994, several departments of the Second Affiliated Hospital of the Zhe Jiang Medical University began a clinical trial of green tea polyphenols." - Lester A.

"When a very small bomb devastated hiroshima ?3 kilotons compared to the current 1,000-kiloton bombs —and a human child actually disappeared. The vaporized child left his shadow behind on the pavement. Dry objects, furniture, clothes and dry wood will spontaneously ignite from the extreme heat. Humans will become walking, flaming torches, or —as took place in hiroshima in the case of a woman who was running with her baby —charcoal statues. For up to fifty miles from the epicenter, anyone glancing at the flash will be blinded in an instant by retinal burns." - APC Books, Healing Our Planet, Healing Our Selves: The Power of change Within to Change the World (Get the book.)

"They showed no such reluctance with hiroshima. With numerous industrial facilities going full bore, that city became, with Nagasaki, a target for the devastating blast of the world's first atomic bombs in 1945. The ability of the Japanese to send missiles with poisonous materials from submarines onto the Pacific coast of America was rightly feared. They had shown no hesitation in using such gases on their enemies in various Asian theaters, and had also used gas on a large scale to kill prisoners of war." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"In just ten minutes of burning at the peak of that firestorm, more energy was released than by the hiroshima atomic bomb. Enormous fire-driven thunderstorm clouds -termed pyro-cumulonimbus - built up over the flames due to the intense convection and heat. No rain fell, but black hail pounded the ground 30 kilometres to the east. An F2-strength tornado touched down just to the west of the city's fringe." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.)

"World War II in the Japanese cities of hiroshima and Nagasaki. Of the estimated 600,000 people affected by the atomic bombs, fewer than 270,000 are alive today. There is a possibility that this record has created an interesting bias. Those who died of radiation sickness relatively quickly were probably weaker than those who survived the blast. As a result, the grounds on which we base our estimate of radiation-related cancer may tell us what happens to healthy survivors but not their far weaker neighbors who succumbed to the blasts." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"Immediately following the attack on hiroshima, another atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. It, too, brought terrible devastation. Survivors from Nagasaki were sent to Kushi's military unit for assistance. As he helped the victims off the train, Kushi witnessed firsthand the incredible human suffering wrought by the blast. About two months later, Kushi was discharged from the army and returned home, making a stop at hiroshima Station. He stood on the train station platform and looked out over the charred ruin that had been the city of hiroshima." - Tom Monte, The Way of Hope: Michio Kushi's Anti-Aids program (Get the book.) "The atomic bomb exploded over hiroshima about 8:15 a.m. on August 6. At that time, the total population of hiroshima City was about a half million, including those living in the suburbs. The blast and firestorms of the bomb instantaneously killed and injured about three hundred thousand people. Another thirty thousand people died from radiation sickness within the next few days. Today, several decades later, people in and around hiroshima who survived the bombing are still dying of leukemia and other forms of cancer every year." - Tom Monte, The Way of Hope: Michio Kushi's Anti-Aids program (Get the book.)

"A report from the hiroshima University School of Dentistry indicates that stevia actually suppresses dental bacteria growth rather than feeding it as other sugars do. Japanese and Latin American scientists have discovered other attributes as well, including its use as a tonic and a diuretic, as well as its ability to combat mental and physical fatigue, harmonize digestion, regulate blood pressure, and assist in weight loss. Stevia is the one sweetener people suffering from Candida and other yeast-type conditions can toletate." - Dianne Onstad, Whole Foods Companion: A Guide For Adventurous Cooks, Curious Shoppers, and lovers of natural foods (Get the book.)

"But a study of 34,759 women in hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, found no significant association between breast cancer risk and consumption of soy foods.41 In their petition, the Solae Company dismisses this study as irrelevant because it was carried out in cities where women were exposed to high levels of ionizing radiation after the atomic bomb,42 but the fact that women consuming high levels of soy protein did not enjoy special protection is very significant." - Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, CCN, The Whole Soy Story: The dark side of America's favorite health food (Get the book.)

"There is evidence that the two generations born since hiroshima are considerably more curious than their ancestors. Yet the Japanese answer the question "How?", very rarely the question "Why?" Whether Japanese isolation from 1641 to 1853 was caused by religious (not racist) xenophobia or by their desire to do without gunpowder, the effect has been more than profound. The decision taken in 1641 has made Japan the only non-white country to have resisted Europe. This is what, in different circumstances, could have happened in India 3r China." - Henry Hobhouse, Seeds of Change: Six Plants That Transformed Mankind (Get the book.)

"Ginkgo in the Treatment of Cognitive Deficiency QyQI Introduction The first green growth to appear at the center of hiroshima in 1946 was the sprout of a ginkgo tree. Like all other flora and fauna in the city, the ginkgo tree originally there was incinerated when the atomic bomb was dropped on august 6,1945. The new plant showed all the usual traits of its species and grew into a normal, full-size tree. Extreme hardiness seems to be a characteristic of ginkgo trees, which have lived on earth for approximately 300 million years." - volker schulz and Rudolf Hansel, Rational Phytotherapy: A Reference Guide for Physicians and Pharmacists (Get the book.)

"The horror of the dropping of the atomic bombs on hiroshima and Nagasaki created a massive public relations problem for atomic energy. The result was a spirited campaign by the military to give radiation a positive image, and "our friend, the atom" presently donned a benign medical face. As the AMA claimed in 1947, "Medically applied atomic science has already saved more lives than were lost in the explosions at hiroshima and Nagasaki." - Kenny Ausubel, When Healing Becomes A Crime: The Amazing Story of the Hoxsey Cancer Clinics and the Return of Alternative Therapies (Get the book.)

"Berlin was reduced to gravel; London was badly mutilated; and, of course, hiroshima and Nagasaki became radioactive ashtrays. The casualties of World War I had been enormous, astonishing, appalling beyond civilized peoples' wildest dreams, but the victims had been overwhelmingly soldiers. The casualties in World War II were overwhelmingly civilians and in much greater aggregate numbers. Through the 1950s and 1960s, Europe, Japan, and Russia succeeded in eventually resuming industrial activity." - James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.)

"Perhaps a persuasive argument can be made—as it was made by Stalin when he killed peasants for industrial progress in the Soviet Union, as it was made by Churchill explaining the bombings of Dresden and Hamburg, and Truman explaining hiroshima. But how can the judgment be made if the benefits and losses cannot be balanced because the losses are either unmentioned or mentioned quickly? That quick disposal might be acceptable ("Unfortunate, yes, but it had to be done") to the middle and upper classes of the conquering and "advanced" countries." - Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (Get the book.)

"Following hiroshima and Nagasaki, US legislators were burdened by deep guilt and doubt which led to their enthusiastic support of suggestions that radiation might also have some beneficial effects. Thus radiation and then chemotherapy, those attractively dramatic high-tech treatments, gained more and more support, while Dr. Gerson and similar researchers slowly became forgotten—until cancer overstepped the bounds of all epidemics ever recorded. The protocols followed at the Gerson clinics are in essence the same as those of Dr. Gonzales." - Helke Ferrie, Dispatches From the War Zone of Environmental Health (Get the book.)

"Was it because this was a plutonium bomb whereas the hiroshima bomb was a uranium bomb? Were the dead and irradiated of Nagasaki victims of a scientific experiment? Martin Sherwin says that among the Nagasaki dead were probably American prisoners of war. He notes a message of July 31 from Headquarters, U.S. Army Strategic Air Forces, Guam, to the War Department: Reports prisoner of war sources, not verified by photos, give location of Allied prisoner of war camp one mile north of center of city of Nagasaki. Does this influence the choice of this target for initial Centerboard operation?" - Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (Get the book.)
