  • Dutch, I sent msg/comment earlier today about not getting your updates in my email. After reading several pages of comments to this video, I realize that I need to apologize for my thoughlessness. You were probably resting! Thanks so much for all of the wonderful info and education that you are providing to the masses, including me! God bless!

  • @offstart i woke up at 1pm today!

    my tooth fractured last night and i fainted..

  • Anyone know the accumulated roengtens it takes to kill a human? 600 Rs & that's all folks! If you're near a source that is putting off ie 1 Roengten per hour in 600 hours of exposure you will most certainly die. American Nuclear Reactors safe? Not on your life! What alternate water supply is available if one of these reactors goes awry? Is their a damn built around the thing so it can be flooded? Nuke pwr plants are the most expensive way in the Universe to boil water. Concrete cracks!

see all

  • i love the first ten sec.

  • ok well that information is absolutely useless if nobody knows for sure what the dose is that they are being exposed to

  • brains hurt

  • @dutchsinse I have no idea what this is, esp since I haven't slept til 1:00pm in years! Hope it wasn't posted inappropriately in any way, however it came into being. Definitely not me, and my son (25 yrs) assures me that he hasn't posted anything in my name (has access). However, think I will change password anyway. Hold your educational videos in high regard, and hope to continue to do so.

  • @dutchsinse Actually that site doesn't ever cross between your Bq/pCi and the Seivert/Rem - one is number of disintegrations over time (a disintegration is when an electron shoots out of nucleus and damages the cells around it) and the other is what is absorbed in body (like in an xray some goes thru and some gets inside and they figure what is inside). its a more complex thing to convert between, I did it once I can try to find it...

  • @AthenaLund Thank You! Exactly what I keep trying to say - if you took Chris Busby's calculation of internal radiation and applied it to internal sources, then you eliminated bananas due to being biologically inconsequential, then you took out some other things like background and cosmic, then rearranged it all based on HARM CAUSED, or CANCERS per 1000 CITIZENS, believe me this chart would be MASSIVELY different! The only thing this chart is saying is "This science is in its infancy."

  • Hope your tooth is better. That had to be very painful!!

  • Thanks for sharing all this info/data, you have been very accurate about the weather and earthquake's many times, many times, , I live in the Monterey Bay, area in Ca. and have been experiencing blurred vision, and 2-3 others I know are also.?) swollen joints, Fatigue, from what I read, Small amounts of Radiation can cause these symtoms, It doesn't feel like allergies. , Anyone else w/symtoms
