For those of you who think vaccines are deadly, please explain how I'm not convulsing/dead. I've got every mandatory vaccine imaginable. Btw, for those of you who are anti-animal testing, do you really want us to test this in humans? Would you volunteer your sister to save 1 cat?Animals may be different than us, but many diseases that affect us, affect them similarly. Ie: rabies
I actually remember hearing a tiny bit about this at school when I was a kid once, they never explained much though, onlly that there was a disease going around Japan because of the mercury in seafood. I wish they'd shown this video, whould've really reinforced the point of "Don't mess with mercury!"
I think the reason the idea of the cats hits me and a lot of others harder than the patients is because we forced this horrible disease upon them-- the humans caught it naturally.
So disturbing what people can do to animals. Of course I feel bad for the people, at the same time it is shocking how they could deliberately cause such unnecessary suffering to these animals in useless 'experiments', it's a cat not a human, so the findings will always be useless.
@athleticodan Not totally true, this situation brought about much stiffer regulations (of course it took 2 decades) but the sad thing is now China, in the 21st Century, and with Japan as a cautionary tale, is on EXACTLY the same path, at an even larger scale. I'm not saying everything is corruption-free in Japan; TEPCO's handling of the Fukushima plant showed that transparency is not flowing easily, but the pace of production seems more sane than it was in the 1960's.
** FLU VACCINE INGREDIENTS: 1} SQUALENE, [MF59] Shark's Liver Oil & suspected of causing 'Gulf War Syndrome' 2) THIMEROSOL: Mercury which accumulates in the brain. 3} FORMALDEHYDE:highly toxic to humans regardless of method or intake [Wikipedia] 4} SODIUMDEOXYCHOLATE: Detergent which causes cell death. Has been shown to weaken the blood-brain barrier & subsequently activates seizures. It demonstrates synergistic toxicity~~
Mercury Fulminate is in many human Vaccines .. your doctor knows this and still injects the toxic preservative into his "PATIENTS" Think twice before you vaccinate
@peterm3964 You are stupid. You and idiots like you will be responsible for the re-emergence of smallpox. It's unfortunate that if you get it you will also cause people around you to die as some people can't get the vaccine because of medical complications that can arise from them. They realy on Herd Immunity. You are putting other people at risk not just your stupid self and your medically neglected children, but people that really on everyone else to vaccinate themselves. You fucking twit.
@geragna Better still, you could educate yourself a bit before putting your ignorance on display. Mercury compounds aren't necessary in vaccinations. Even if you want to believe that vaccinations do the job they set out to do, the mercury component is not the active ingredient - but you can find out all the real facts for yourself if you take time away from trolling around youtube. It requires an open mind, though you appear to merely have a hole in the head
Dolphin meat contains very high levels of mercury - extremely dangerous for humans, severe brain disorders can result. Japan's government health standards for max. mercury in food: 0.4 ppm. Dolphin meat from Taiji tested: 100 ppm. The sale of Taiji dolphin meat seriously endangers the health of Japanese people, foreign business travellers +tourists visiting Japan ! Google for yourself: Dr.Endo+mercury Taiji/ LMU professor +dolphins. The sale of Taij dolphin meat has to STOP !!
I have to correct my previous post...According to a book about Minamata disease that I've read recently, there WERE some cats used for the experiments... Sorry folks.
I'm a Japanese guy living in Fukuoka prefecture near Minamata. Some of you misunderstood about the cats. Those cats were found in the fishing villages in Mimamata-city after they had eaten enough of polluted fishes to go that way. They had not been poisoned as the experiments...But hey, in 2011 now, Japanese government is doing a huge radioactive experiment with human, I mean with us all Japanese citizens. People in the world, keep your eyes on what's going on in my cruel country.
@mediator Japan has long been not our friend. America should have took over and woop those evil people/beings. Japan had been divided by China long ago for a reason.
@mesitaro The Chisso factory's hospital director, Hajime Hosokawa, established a laboratory to carry out his own experiments into the disease in July 1959. Food to which factory wastewater had been added was fed to healthy cats. Seventy-eight days into the experiment cat 400 exhibited symptoms of Minamata disease and pathological examinations confirmed a diagnosis of organic mercury poisoning. The company did not reveal these results and ordered Hosokawa to stop his research.[17] From Wiki
that was really scary.........all day all night u are moving..dancing in the night..lol.. joke only..but it is really scary.......... and it is waste of energy
dolphin meat has been tested to about 2000 ppm mercury!!! japan needs a serious culture change. STOP WHALING OR MINIMATA: THE SEQUEL WILL BE COMING TO A HOSPITAL NEAR YOU, you morons

(Neat) (Sweet) (Petite) So get a witches shawl on A broomstick you can crawl on We're gonna pay a call on The Addams Family.
Bristol Palin used Minamata to her advantage on Dancing With The Stars. Lotsa whales in Alaska -- so, a whole lotta Minamata goin' on. Oh that clever Palin Family -- when life hands them a lemon, they really know how to make lemonade. I'm not saying there's AIDS in the family. But Sarah Palin knew that by having that Down's Syndrome Baby, she was a slam-dunk for getting millions of votes from the Down's Syndrome Electoral College. They especially like Down's Babies Who Can Do Trig, his name.
@twindwick Because that's why the Challenger exploded and the Apollo 1 disaster occurred. NASA experiments on rats, monkeys -- you name it. They must have Minamata or maybe just plain old-fashioned mad cow. Instead of sticking their heads through telescopes, NASA needs to listen to Michael Jackson's song Ben, about his pet rat, and then to John Lennon's song Instant Karma.
Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda act like they have Minamata Disease. Maybe from eating kangaroo meat. Regis Philbin didn't want to catch Minamata -- that's why Kathie Lee had to leave the Regis show. I wonder if you can catch Minamata through the TV screen. Ratings have gone down since Kathie Lee appeared on The Today Show.
First of all fish oil supplements are a processed food !and they become Rancid on the process . all fish is contaminated with MERCURY and PCB ...want to be healthy grow your own food ! people are lazy to cook so they eat frozen food and fast food ! and sit on the computure and on the cell phone getting emf radiation !...ps. get Rid of your Microwave Oven , cell phone and cordless phone ....and grow a Garden !! become a Vegeterian everything in the sea is contaminated with mercury
we learned about this in science and it shocked me that many got seizures like this and the Chisso company didn't do anything and even bribed/threatened the villagers to keep the company running.all i could think of was all the poor people and especially the cats. :( this really disturbed me...
@kellyor12 Its not japans fault its the companies fault, they poured mercury waste into the rivers, nobody knew about it until a decade later, the mercury will consume fish and people will eat it, this was going on for a decade unti the company owned up, so how the hell is it the fisher mans fault....
If you want to have a non-sensational view on Minamata Disease, go and read "Kugai Jôdo" /"Paradise in the Sea of Sorrow" by Ishimure Michiko (it's half documentary, half narrative) - also translated to German and some Parts to Spanish, too.. as far as I know...
Interesting fact : The Chisso Corporation dumped about 28 tons of concentrated mercury over a small area during a 10 year period. The EPA estimates that America produces about 90 tons of mercury pollution per year, half of it ( from the burning of coal) goes right up into the atmosphere. Makes 'ya wonder, huh?
there is MUCH more to know. Tests MUST include hair, saliva done correctly, fecal, 24-hour fractionated urine porphyrine, endocrine challenge, packed erythrocyte tests. Some excretory pathways no longer function to test well. AND they have to be evaluated PROPERLY. This vid is a clip.The fact is those at the factory KNEW, covering it up after Minamata disease emerged. Later after court, arrogantly saying, "$200/ victim-what more do you want!" "I want my father & child back one poignantly said"
I am saddened by this epidemic that man has brought upon themselves. I feel horribly for those effected that lived lives in seclusion because of the disease. The Japanese fishermen in Taji do slaughter dolphins for their meat and sell live dolphins. The meat does include mercury. Wat was interesting to me was the claim that fishermen made saying that the people knew what they were eating. That was not the case in interviews with those in the bigger cities.
And still, japenis never realize that eating dolphins is a nice way to have mercury poisoning. Look at all those poor people. They were the victims, but their descendants are now hunting down dolphs and having their mercury in their body!
A bit sensationalized? Anyways, I used to teach English to a researcher here in Japan who was researching this disease.The struggle for compensation continues to this day. For less severely affected victims and their families to even get recognized is hard, and it's even harder for those surviving victims to get even near enough compensation for their medical needs due to a system that makes it hard for them to ask for more. Neither company or gov't did anything for 20 years,
@Gokunama not sensationalized TONED DOWN. Factory KNEW it was causing it. tried to cover it up for years. ALL FISH IS TO SOME DEGREE POISON NOW NO MATTER WHAT CRAP A "STUDY" OR SOLD OUT AGENCY SAYS. A few northern-most cold water tiny fish are ok. The factory owners eventually faced charges in court. Search out the full documentary. even then the owner was the very model of Mr. Burns of the Simpsons "we GAVE u $200 dollars? what more could u want?" "Give me back my father & child" was a reply
@Gokunama I know, but this too is actually toned down (as gruesome as it is in part) by being just a piece of the full documentary. the scenes are just as things were but there was much more (if not this film, another) far worse due to that, as some doctors worked diligently to ascertain the cause, it was already long-known to be from mercury by the company's scientists (Life Magazine has photos and the movie - when I can get to it in storage - will list the name) I survived this, a close call
This country would be in full civil war right now if not for Fluoridated Water and Mercury Poisoning. We can fight this by Petitioning Cities to end Fluoridation, which has been very successful, and by educating people about the Mercury Poisoning and Vaccines. Zeolite Powder and Seaweed treats Mercury Poisoning aka Autism very well. Buy a Fluoride Filter. LETS DO THIS. START A REVOLUTION OF TRUTH AGAINST LIES. CLENCH YOUR FIST AND MAKE YOUR LIFE.
@almohadillaseisefes : From what I have seen in documentaries; when human life is lost, sad/scarry music is often used. I do see a scientific/psychological argument your comment, I'll change the word "documentary" to "clip" in the description. I'll also change the title (replace the word "disaster" to "story"). But even if an upbeat tune is used, the result is the same. mercury is a poisonous, the people of Minamata bay has suffered a great lost and this documentary has raised awareness.
Years of research and studies on the neurological and degenerative diseases of children and adults - as well as disorders and various diseases and syndromes related to environmental issues, health - he has brought together scientists in the Info Center STELIOR chaired by Boyd Haley.
The purpose of STELIOR is to highlight the links between the various mechanisms that trigger autism and many other diseases and emerging diseases increasingly explosive. Thanks to testing and treatment we can help.
What about the Faroe Islanders---all of the dolphins and whales they kill test high for Mercury....wouldn't the islanders test high for Mercury as well?? Thanks!
@RockyMissouri : Since mercury (organic) bio-accumulates, one may assume that the islanders would have elevated levels of mercury in them as well provided that whale & dolphin meat is a large portion of their normal diet.
@muizainal It isn't a portion of their normal diet. I Know 5 Families That Are From the Faroe Islands they eat dolphin meat & whale meat only around the time of the national Hunt, even though I try to tell them about how it's wrong...
@RockyMissouri: There are many factors that may contribute to elevated levels of mercury in the body. How much bioaccumalation occurs depends on several factors, such as; type of mercury (organic/ inorganic), route of entry (inhalation, ingestion, dermal), the half life of mercury in different tissues (Eg; brain tissue has a longer half life compared to blood) and the body's natural motabolism rate.
@RockyMissouri: To assume that One will have high mercury due to seasonal consumtions of contaminated fish is not the most scientific observation. A sure way to really find out is to get a mercury urine or blood test during zero consumption and peak consuption. Please bare in mind, other control factors that may result in an error to the results.
@muizainal the type of mercury & the route of entry also affect symptoms, some forms of organic mercury will kill u in few days, while the accumulation of other forms in fatty tissues such as liver or brain can lead to anorexia, short sightening and amnesia
@RockyMissouri yes. I think Rosemary's Baby was about this syndrome. And the song Hello Mudda (Minamata), Hello Faddah is probably about this disease too. The Whale Wars waged by the Sea Shepherd are the last hope for the Japanese to avoid this horrible insanity-causing illness. But based on their insistence to kill and eat an endangered species such as whales -- well, looks like insanity has already taken over the Japanese. And they have the supertoy. Sounds like a no-brainer to me.
@guigs219 everytime scientists do that kind of experiments they use animals, it's REALLY sad but by that they can observe the process of a disease and also determin what's poisoning and what's not.
@guigs219 Thank you for this post. I am so sick of hearing the Jap, remark and what we should have done to them in ww2. For those of us who live there and know the real culture, it is a small percentile that are giving a bad name to the many.
I feel awful for both, but animals can never be as spoiled or do crimes like people can.
They were being fed mercury just because people wanted to see effects. Then died for the sake of an experiment. Yeah, I do feel bad for them. Doesn't make me a PETArd, mate. It's like a child and adult dying - sorry, but most would feel worse over an innocent child.
Saying that, the affected people also had nothing to do with it.
ohh your'e an atheist... you dont believe any gods... thats nice.. anyway ... yeah i respect youre coment but .. still as christians ... god made some animals for us humans to be eaten.. well you said this conversation is not about religion .. but still it talks about religion ... so its not a sin or crime for us.. okay.. have a nice day to!!

Bristol Palin used Minamata to her advantage on Dancing With The Stars. Lotsa whales in Alaska -- so, a whole lotta Minamata goin' on. Oh that clever Palin Family -- when life hands them a lemon, they really know how to make lemonade. I'm not saying there's AIDS in the family. But Sarah Palin knew that by having that Down's Syndrome Baby, she was a slam-dunk for getting millions of votes from the Down's Syndrome Electoral College. They especially like Down's Babies Who Can Do Trig, his name.

@twindwick Because that's why the Challenger exploded and the Apollo 1 disaster occurred. NASA experiments on rats, monkeys -- you name it. They must have Minamata or maybe just plain old-fashioned mad cow. Instead of sticking their heads through telescopes, NASA needs to listen to Michael Jackson's song Ben, about his pet rat, and then to John Lennon's song Instant Karma.

Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda act like they have Minamata Disease. Maybe from eating kangaroo meat. Regis Philbin didn't want to catch Minamata -- that's why Kathie Lee had to leave the Regis show. I wonder if you can catch Minamata through the TV screen. Ratings have gone down since Kathie Lee appeared on The Today Show.

Interesting fact : The Chisso Corporation dumped about 28 tons of concentrated mercury over a small area during a 10 year period. The EPA estimates that America produces about 90 tons of mercury pollution per year, half of it ( from the burning of coal) goes right up into the atmosphere. Makes 'ya wonder, huh?

there is MUCH more to know. Tests MUST include hair, saliva done correctly, fecal, 24-hour fractionated urine porphyrine, endocrine challenge, packed erythrocyte tests. Some excretory pathways no longer function to test well. AND they have to be evaluated PROPERLY. This vid is a clip.The fact is those at the factory KNEW, covering it up after Minamata disease emerged. Later after court, arrogantly saying, "$200/ victim-what more do you want!"

I am saddened by this epidemic that man has brought upon themselves. I feel horribly for those effected that lived lives in seclusion because of the disease. The Japanese fishermen in Taji do slaughter dolphins for their meat and sell live dolphins. The meat does include mercury. Wat was interesting to me was the claim that fishermen made saying that the people knew what they were eating. That was not the case in interviews with those in the bigger cities.

A bit sensationalized? Anyways, I used to teach English to a researcher here in Japan who was researching this disease.The struggle for compensation continues to this day. For less severely affected victims and their families to even get recognized is hard, and it's even harder for those surviving victims to get even near enough compensation for their medical needs due to a system that makes it hard for them to ask for more. Neither company or gov't did anything for 20 years,

@Gokunama not sensationalized TONED DOWN. Factory KNEW it was causing it. tried to cover it up for years. ALL FISH IS TO SOME DEGREE POISON NOW NO MATTER WHAT CRAP A "STUDY" OR SOLD OUT AGENCY SAYS. A few northern-most cold water tiny fish are ok. The factory owners eventually faced charges in court. Search out the full documentary. even then the owner was the very model of Mr. Burns of the Simpsons "we GAVE u $200 dollars? what more could u want?" "Give me back my father & child" was a reply

@Gokunama I know, but this too is actually toned down (as gruesome as it is in part) by being just a piece of the full documentary. the scenes are just as things were but there was much more (if not this film, another) far worse due to that, as some doctors worked diligently to ascertain the cause, it was already long-known to be from mercury by the company's scientists (Life Magazine has photos and the movie - when I can get to it in storage - will list the name) I survived this, a close call

This country would be in full civil war right now if not for Fluoridated Water and Mercury Poisoning. We can fight this by Petitioning Cities to end Fluoridation, which has been very successful, and by educating people about the Mercury Poisoning and Vaccines. Zeolite Powder and Seaweed treats Mercury Poisoning aka Autism very well. Buy a Fluoride Filter. LETS DO THIS. START A REVOLUTION OF TRUTH AGAINST LIES. CLENCH YOUR FIST AND MAKE YOUR LIFE.

@almohadillaseisefes : From what I have seen in documentaries; when human life is lost, sad/scarry music is often used. I do see a scientific/psychological argument your comment, I'll change the word "documentary" to "clip" in the description. I'll also change the title (replace the word "disaster" to "story"). But even if an upbeat tune is used, the result is the same. mercury is a poisonous, the people of Minamata bay has suffered a great lost and this documentary has raised awareness.

RockyMissouri 1 year ago 3
@RockyMissouri : Since mercury (organic) bio-accumulates, one may assume that the islanders would have elevated levels of mercury in them as well provided that whale & dolphin meat is a large portion of their normal diet.
muizainal 1 year ago
@muizainal It isn't a portion of their normal diet. I Know 5 Families That Are From the Faroe Islands they eat dolphin meat & whale meat only around the time of the national Hunt, even though I try to tell them about how it's wrong...

maxinpains 10 months ago
@RockyMissouri: There are many factors that may contribute to elevated levels of mercury in the body. How much bioaccumalation occurs depends on several factors, such as; type of mercury (organic/ inorganic), route of entry (inhalation, ingestion, dermal), the half life of mercury in different tissues (Eg; brain tissue has a longer half life compared to blood) and the body's natural motabolism rate.
muizainal 1 year ago
@RockyMissouri: To assume that One will have high mercury due to seasonal consumtions of contaminated fish is not the most scientific observation. A sure way to really find out is to get a mercury urine or blood test during zero consumption and peak consuption. Please bare in mind, other control factors that may result in an error to the results.
muizainal 1 year ago
@muizainal the type of mercury & the route of entry also affect symptoms, some forms of organic mercury will kill u in few days, while the accumulation of other forms in fatty tissues such as liver or brain can lead to anorexia, short sightening and amnesia

@RockyMissouri yes. I think Rosemary's Baby was about this syndrome. And the song Hello Mudda (Minamata), Hello Faddah is probably about this disease too. The Whale Wars waged by the Sea Shepherd are the last hope for the Japanese to avoid this horrible insanity-causing illness. But based on their insistence to kill and eat an endangered species such as whales -- well, looks like insanity has already taken over the Japanese. And they have the supertoy. Sounds like a no-brainer to me.
