Fukushima Radiation Sickness Symptoms Part1

These last days there have been so many reports about people showing radiation sickness symptoms being hospitalized because they are unable to fight common illnesses and also diagnosed with cancer that I decided to summarize what is going on. However I feel I need to split up the posts because it's just so much. So this is Part 1 and the news stories covered are from November 7 along with important information about the Fukushima situation.

First up is the FACT that the Fukushima children are not growing in weight, the average increase is down a whole 75% !!! 

Then about the Japanese Emperor due to be hospitalized on Sunday with a cold, fever and symptoms of bronchitis and the 9-year-old daughter of the crown prince and princess also hospitalized. Now there is nothing out of the ordinary with people getting sick once in a while, but with so many people displaying symptoms and forced to get hospitalized because of this it is important to put two and two together.

Children stopped growing in Fukushima
Posted by Mochizuki on November 7th, 2011 Story Original from Fukushima Diary

In Koriyama shi Fukushima, Dr Kikuchi Nobutaro surveyed the increase of the weight of the children.

They compared the increase of the weight of 245 of 4~5 years old children at 2 kindergartens in Koriyamachi.and they pointed out children grew up only 26% of last year. It can be said, children stopped growing up in Koriyama, Fukushima.

As the result,
7/2009 ~ 6/2010 → +3.1kg
7/2010 ~ 6/2011→ +0.81kg (only 26% of growth measured the previous year)

Another doctor gives a comment about this.

Dr.Kikuchi states it may be because children can’t play outside, they lost muscles.

However, mothers testify their children don’t say they are hungry anymore. It’s very unusual. Some of the children have grown only by 500g through the year.

Smaller increase in children's weight in Fukushima
Monday, November 07, 2011 20:09 +0900 (JST) Story NHK World Japan

A survey shows that some children in Fukushima Prefecture have smaller average weight gains this year compared to the year before. A pediatrician says the results indicate the negative effects of the nuclear plant accident in March.

Doctor Shintaro Kikuchi tracked the weights of 245 children aged from 4 to 6 in 2 kindergartens in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture. The results show an average weight increase of 0.81 kilograms over the past year through June. The increase for children in the same age group the previous year was 3.1 kilograms.

The average increase for children aged 5 to 6 in the survey was 0.84 kilograms. But a nationwide health ministry survey conducted last year for children of the same age group showed an average gain of 1.8 kilograms.

The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident has caused high levels of radioactivity in areas around the plant. Koriyama is located about 60 kilometers from the facility and many children in the city have been forced to play indoors to avoid contamination.

Kikuchi noted that the smaller weight increases could be related to reduced appetite resulting from less exercise as well as changes in the secretion of growth hormones due to stress. He said measures should be taken to restore normal hormone levels in the children.

TOKYO -- Japanese Emperor Akihito is due to be hospitalized on Sunday with a cold, fever and symptoms of bronchitis, Kyodo news agency reported, citing the Imperial Household Agency.

Akihito, who will turn 78 next month, will be admitted to the University of Tokyo Hospital as a precaution because the fever worsened the bronchitis symptoms and he appeared fatigued and has lost some resistance to fight his illness, Kyodo said.

It said Crown Prince Naruhito would temporarily take over the emperor's official duties.

Akihito, who ascended to the throne after the death of his father Hirohito in 1989, has spent much of the past two decades working to close the gap between the imperial family and ordinary Japanese people.

Five days after the devastating earthquake and tsunami struck Japan's northeast, Akihito made a rare public televised address and in April traveled to the disaster-struck area with Empress Michiko, 77.

Akihito had surgery for prostate cancer in 2003 and suffered stress-related health issues in late 2008, including irregular pulse and stomach bleeding. The following year, the royal agency said he would cut back on official duties such as speeches and meeting foreign dignitaries.

On Sunday, the emperor cancelled an engagement to attend a national assembly in Tokyo of Inclusion Japan, a civic organization advocating for the rights of people with learning difficulties, because of the fever.
