TIME TO USE THIS TO MY ADVANTAGE

Tomorrow in class, I will find out which Japanese girls have family in Tokyo.

So I can help "comfort" them.

My mission will not fail.

This is not funny for those of us who lived in Iwate Prefecture and have friends, and host families that have been rocked by the largest Earth Quake on record.

My host families home was destroyed, no one hurt but losing your home is not anything to be laughing about.

Dear lord, the area in Iwate is still shaking with aftershocks.

I have been facebooking with friends who live over there.

On serious note (the above was obvious BS post), this is a tragic misfortune.

I have Japanese friends here and I hope their families are OK.

when i heard the news i felt nothing.

It has happened in the North which is considered less populated, but nevertheless there are still millions effected.

The death toll is thankfully low.
I have been getting messages as well that indicate much destruction and continued aftershocks.

I hope the best for Japan and all others who will be effected by the incoming tsunamis and aftershocks.

Excellent read! Thank you!

The media is pretty idiotic when it comes to "scientific facts."

This is a breathe of fresh air, as well as settling any worries in my heart.

Generally that article is about right.

The radiation level even with a full meltdown should be little worse than Three Mile Island. If there are internal pressurised explosions that then rupture the internal casing at force we're ****ed though.

Seems like an odd time to propound tea drinking...

Chinese medicine doctor recommends drinking tea to combat radiation
2011/03/16 22:57:36
Taipei, March 16 (CNA) Want a good tip to fend off the threat of radiation poisoning? The answer is to drink more tea, said a Chinese medicine doctor Wednesday.

Lu Chih-hong, president of the Sheng Te Tang Chinese Medical Hospital in Taichung City, central Taiwan, suggested the public take more tea to avoid the effects of radioactive fallout that may come from Japan.

Tea, a common agricultural and medicinal product in Taiwan, contains a variety of substances, including Camaellia sinensis, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and lipopolysaccharide, that can help people combat the effects of radiation.

According to Lu, Camaellia sinensis is the main substance that helps human bodies discharge radiation contamination. C. sinensis can absorb as much as 90 percent of the radioisotopes in the human body and discharges it before it reaches the bone marrow. He added that C. sinensis also helps human bodies take up Vitamin C more effectively, creating more blood and making capillary blood vessels more resilient. This reduces the possibility of getting Jod-Basedow syndrome, a hyperthyroid disease one can acquire after taking potassium iodide to combat radiation poisoning.

Master Sheng Lun, who has dedicated many of his years to organic farming, said drinking tea is even more helpful than taking potassium iodine tablets, because tea prevents radioactive materials from being absorbed into the body and accelerates the body's metabolism of such substances.

He suggested the public consume organic tea because it contains no residue of pesticides. (By S. C. Hau and Flor Wang)
