"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.)

"During a courier flight over nagasaki sometime after the bombing, he was awed firsthand at the sight of the ultimate capability of humans for mutual destruction. This exposure to human waste and suffering convinced Dr. Scott, both a Christian and a naturalist by conscience, to move into the field of natural healing. He was seriously liver damaged by prescribed drugs during his military years and suffered many subsequent years of related chronic diseases. He gradually recovered his health with the help of chiropractic and Natural Hygiene." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"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.)

"Gulbinat and coworkers, for example, studied the incidence of cancer among schizophrenics in nagasaki, Japan, Aarhus, Denmark, and Honolulu, Hawaii, and compared these rates with that of the local general public.44 Interestingly, although cancer incidence was generally much lower among Caucasian schizophrenics, it was elevated in Japanese schizophrenics in both Hawaii and Japan. Of particular interest here were the very low relative risks of lung cancer in both Danish males (rr = 0.38) and females (rr = 0.33) during the period 1957 to 1980.

"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.) "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.)

"The Dutch were confined to Deshima Island near nagasaki, a mere strip of sand and shingle 200 yards long and 3 yards wide. While in harbor their ships had to take guns, rudder, and sails ashore, and offload their ammunition. Thus rendered safe and immobile, the ships were unloaded at Dutch expense, and the trade conducted on Japanese terms. No Japanese was allowed to speak to any foreigner unless another was present to note what was said. The Dutch were not allowed to be buried ashore, or to go ashore from the island to the town of nagasaki, or to pray in public, or to celebrate the Sabbath." - Henry Hobhouse, Seeds of Change: Six Plants That Transformed Mankind (Get the book.)

"Japanese researchers at the nagasaki University School of Medicine had similar results in an experiment with rats. When rats were given EGCG in their water, their life span was considerably prolonged. The researchers who conducted this study identified the free radical-fighting abilities of green tea as its longevity-enhancing aspect.2 Most health experts agree that the "free radical theory of aging" holds the most promise for understanding—and slowing—the aging process." - Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews, The Green Tea Book (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. Mitscher and Victoria Toews, The Green Tea Book (Get the book.)

"No big studies have ever been undertaken to assess the radioactive exposure caused by: (1) "Cold War" nuclear testing in the former Soviet Union that might have blown over the United States, (2) exposure from our own nuclear testing in the Pacific that might have blown back over our country, or (3) radioactive fallout from the detonation of the bombs over Hiroshima and nagasaki which might have blown back to our country." - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.) "Three days later, on August 9, another bomb was detonated over nagasaki. No studies on the widespread fallout of these wartime detonations were ever done, partly because scientists at that time did not have the technology to detect or measure many of the radioactive particles. We still do not know how much of the fallout from those two war-time bombs actually circulated via wind over the United States and other parts of the world and was deposited on land and in waterways." - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (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.)

"For example, the pluto-nium for the bomb dropped over nagasaki was produced at the Hanford Plutonium Nuclear Reservation in central Washington State. It is now known that the Hanford facility regularly released radioactive iodine-131 into the atmosphere from the years 1944 to 1972 as part of their process of developing nuclear bomb material. And it is a little known fact that, in 1945, the Hanford facility "accidentally" released an amount of radioactive iodine into the American skies that was equivalent to the amount released in the 1986 Chernobyl disaster!" - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.)

"The Dutch were not allowed to be buried ashore, or to go ashore from the island to the town of nagasaki, or to pray in public, or to celebrate the Sabbath. Nor were they allowed to entertain anyone in a Dutch house or ship: except for "public women" (the Japanese were always practical people). These severities were imposed upon the Dutch, and all other foreigners were excluded; for one reason only. For the fifty years up to 1640 Japan had suffered Christian missionaries—mostly Roman Catholics, but some Protestants." - Henry Hobhouse, Seeds of Change: Six Plants That Transformed Mankind (Get the book.)

"In 1996, researchers from the nagasaki University School of Medicine developed a strain of PrP-null mice that got sick spontaneously, in contrast to previous lines of PrP-null mice. Between 6 and 12 months of age, the nagasaki mice developed ataxia from a loss of Purkinje cells. These specialized neurons relay signals out of the cerebellum, the brain structure that controls muscle coordination. Because the problem could be prevented by the introduction of the PrP gene, the researchers concluded that the ataxia arose because of the absence of PrPC." - Philip Yam, The Pathological Protein: Mad Cow, Chronic Wasting, and Other Deadly Prion Diseases (Get the book.)

"From about 1550 until 1616 the Japanese traded with Europeans at home, in Osaka, nagasaki, and Yokohama, and all over the East. The Japanese bargained and exchanged with the Spanish in the Philippines, with the Portuguese in the Indies, and with the Dutch in Formosa. The Dutch in particular were of great importance as intermediaries with China, who would not countenance direct trade with the foreign devils, the Japanese." - Henry Hobhouse, Seeds of Change: Six Plants That Transformed Mankind (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.)

"Francis Hospital in nagasaki suffered few ill effects from residual radiation if they ate miso and seaweed. Agricultural research scientist Morishita Kenichiro later discovered that miso and natto contain dipicolinic acid, an alkaloid capable of grabbing onto radioactive strontium so that it can be ushered safely out of the body.42 Radioprotective effects extend to X-ray and radiation therapies used for medical diagnoses and cancer treatment, with a 2001 study showing significantly greater protection coming from misos that have undergone lengthy (rather than short or medium-term) fermentation." - Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, CCN, The Whole Soy Story: The dark side of America's favorite health food (Get the book.)

"In August 1945, atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and nagasaki, major Japanese cities, hastened Japans surrender, and World War II came to its end. The United States and the Soviet Union, with Great Britain a very junior partner, bestrode the globe. Japan itself was occupied by American forces. In China, civil war led to the establishment of a Communist state within four years of the end of the war, while Eastern Europe came under the domination of the Soviet Union. A new era in world history had begun, (see pp." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"Shinohara replied on June 30, 1953, that he had never meant to hold Einstein responsible for the tragedy of Hiroshima and nagasaki. He was gratified to know that one of the greatest guardians of America's conscience was as vigilant as ever. Would Einstein be willing to send a message on the occasion of the anniversary of Hiroshima and nagasaki?" - Otto Nathan and Heinz Norden, Einstein on Peace (Get the book.)

"We interpret this as the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and nagasaki. We do not want to see this happen to any place or any nation again, but instead we should turn all this energy for peaceful uses, not for war. . . . In the fall of 1970, a magazine called La Raza, one of the countless local publications coming out of the movements of those years to supply information ignored in the regular media, told about the Pit River Indians of northern California. Sixty Pit Indians occupied land they said belonged to them; they defied the Forest Services when ordered to leave." - Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (Get the book.) "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? Request immediate reply. The reply: "Targets previously assigned for Centerboard remain unchanged." True, the war then ended quickly. Italy had been defeated a year earlier." - Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (Get the book.) "Such then, was the situation when we wiped out Hiroshima and nagasaki. Need we have done it? No one can, of course, be positive, but the answer is almost certainly negative." - Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (Get the book.) "Three days later, a second atomic bomb was dropped on the city of nagasaki, with perhaps 50,000 killed. The justification for these atrocities was that this would end the war quickly, making unnecessary an invasion of Japan. Such an invasion would cost a huge number of lives, the government said—a million, according to Secretary of State Byrnes; half a million, Truman claimed was the figure given him by General George Marshall." - Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (Get the book.)

"The real reason that the mice became ataxic, however, turned out to be the way the nagasaki researchers had cut out the PrP gene of the mice. Other PrP-null mice, made by labs in Edinburgh and Zurich, were missing only about two-thirds of the protein-encoding part of their PrP gene (such a partial removal is usually enough to curtail the expression of the normal protein). The nagasaki investigators, however, removed the entire protein-encoding sequence of the gene, as well as some of the flanking regions." - Philip Yam, The Pathological Protein: Mad Cow, Chronic Wasting, and Other Deadly Prion Diseases (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.)
