Nucleaire dreiging na de problemen in Japan
Mieke Vervecken-Pieters
Na onze lezingen rond dit onderwerp is er nog veel vraag geweest omtrent dit onderwerp, daarom enige informatie op onze website. Deze uiteenzetting is een korte versie van de studiedag, genoeg om eenieder de nodige informatie te geven.
De ramp in Fukushima zal Japan voorgoed veranderen.
Voor ons is er geen directe dreiging, maar dit betekent niet dat alles zomaar ok is.
In feite is het nucleaire probleem veel groter dan de ramp in Japan. Wist je dat er sedert W.O. II meer dan 2000 nucleaire proeven gebeurden, die voor heel wat ‘fall out’ gezorgd hebben? De proeven gebeuren op afgelegen plaatsen in woestijnen of kleine eilanden waar de plaatselijke bewoners ofwel gedeporteerd werden ofwel problemen kregen. Ook zijn er al vele ongevallen geweest, maar die blijven uit de pers (zo verloor ooit een Amerikaans vliegtuig een gevaarlijke bom boven Spanje jaren geleden. Hoewel er geen ontploffing was, is er in de plaatselijke omgeving nog altijd veel radioactieve straling aanwezig) Een arts uit Australië, werkt al 20 jaar aan een nucleair-vrije wereld. Bezoek de website van Dr. Helen Caldicott voor meer info rond haar werk en lees haar boeken.
Straling komt overal in de natuur voor, teveel straling ( door isotopen) kan schadelijk zijn, ook door o.a. door te veel röntgenfoto’s, of teveel vliegtuigreizen.
Er zijn 2 gevaren: directe blootstelling aan straling geeft stralingsziekte; indirecte contaminatie gaat via de voedselketen. Dit laatste vormt een groot en langdurig probleem want niet alleen brengen winden straling ver weg, ook het voedsel wordt vandaag globaal verspreid. Via de voedselketen verspreid de straling zich.
Er zijn vele soorten straling. De meest gekende radioactieve isotopen zijn jodium, cesium en plutonium. Radioactief jodium kan opgenomen worden door een schildklier die weinig jodium bevat. Vandaar de jodiumpillen in de apotheek. Het is echter nutteloos en gevaarlijk zomaar deze pillen te slikken. Hou je aan de richtlijnen van de overheid. Radioactief jodium ( sommige) hebben een korte levensduur, , halveringstijd is 8 dagen, maar voor radioactief cesium is dat veel langer, en plutonium is zelfs in de kleinste hoeveelheden erg giftig en dodelijk. Straling kan gebieden tientallen jaren tot honderden jaren of eeuwen onbewoonbaar maken.
Er zijn vele websites waar je meer info vindt over de nucleaire problemen.
Wat kan jij doen?
1. Jezelf afvragen welke prijs je voor je energie wil betalen. Kernenergie blijkt op korte termijn goedkoop te zijn, maar de verborgen kosten zullen op de komende generaties afgewenteld worden. Kernenergie is ontstaan uit een zeer kortzichtige denkwijze die geen oog heeft voor duurzaamheid en blijkbaar mag geïmplementeerd worden zonder eerst oplossingen te vinden voor de enorme berg kernafval. In 60 jaar hebben we 3 ernstige ongevallen meegemaakt. Er zijn meer dan 400 kernreactoren wereldwijd, en dan hebben we het nog niet over de nucleaire wapenindustrie. Denken dat ongevallen zeer zeldzaam zijn worden door de realiteit tegengesproken.
2. Je kan je lichaam beschermen door een evenwichtig eet- en leefpatroon.
Straling is zeer yin, maar wie een gezond voedingspatroon heeft kan dit opvangen. Wie elke dag een postzegel kombu gebruikt heeft voldoende jodium in zijn schildklier om beschermd te zijn. Het gebruik van misosoep dagelijks beschermt niet alleen tegen straling maar ook tegen vele beschavingsziektes. Gerechten met volle granen (ook boekweit), volle bonen, kliswortel, paardenbloem. Sommige groene planten ( o.a. spinazie, wat zeer yin is) maar vooral dierlijk voedsel kunnen veel straling opnemen. Wie vooral plantaardig voedsel eet is meestal beter beschermd. Een goede mineralenbalans is belangrijk, maar die bouw je langzaam op door dagdagelijks gezonde kost. Het slikken van supplementen in grote hoeveelheden is echt niet aan te raden. Wie evenwichtig eet ontwikkelt ook zijn intuïtie en heeft minder energie nodig.
Het onderstaand artikel over miso geeft meer info. o.a. over het hospitaal van Dr. Akizuki in Nagasaki waar eenieder die op het macrobiotisch dieet stond in 1945 de atoombom van Nagasaki overleeft heeft; er zijn nu nog 80-plussers van in leven, sommigen onder hen hadden stralingsziekte.

3. Vermijd vooral paniekgedrag. Bijvoorbeeld het teveel eten van zeewieren zal je alleen maar problemen geven.
4. Studeer, ontdek yin en yang, zoek mee oplossingen voor ons energie- en onze gezondheidsproblemen.
5. Ga samen koken, maak netwerken om gezond koken leuker en leerrijker te maken. Verleden jaar organiseerden we een les ‘miso maken’, er waren 2 studenten. We zijn te weinig bezig om voor onze eigen voedselvoorziening te zorgen, om te leren meer zelfvoorzienend en duurzaam te zijn. Wanneer we meer lokaal geteeld voedsel gebruiken en maken (zoals miso) werken we mee aan een betere wereld.
Wie interesse heeft, volgende misoles is gepland in september 2011.
6. We kunnen dit immense probleem ook zien als een kans om onze gezondheid te verbeteren en mee te werken aan oplossingen.
7. Kijk naar de websites van Larch Hanson: www.seaweedman.com; prachtig levensverhaal met alle info over zeegroenten.
Ook naar www.fortunateblessings.com van William Spear, wiens werking wij ondersteunen. Hij geeft ook veel info en is momenteel in Japan waar hij traumaverwerking aanbied aan de mensen (kinderen) in de noodgebieden.
Working Alchemy: The Miracle of Miso by Anna Bond
Miso belongs to the highest class of medicines, those which prevent disease and strengthen the body through continued usage.
— Dr. Shinichiro Akizuki,
Director, St. Francis Hospital, Nagasaki
As the collective consciousness in the United States grows ever more agitated and fearful, we scurry to find magic bullets for bioterrorism: anthrax, smallpox and the black plague. Based on current statistics, the odds of being exposed to and dying from anthrax in the U.S. are one in 35 million. Before anthrax hit the headlines, we listened to the international threat of mad cow disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE, in cattle and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, or CJD, in humans). The threat of chemical, bacteriological and radiological (CBR) warfare forms a constant undercurrent to our national hysteria—conscious and subconscious. After all, we have been preparing CBR weapons at Ft. Detrick ever since World War II.
Clearly, we face daunting challenges to our quality of life and indeed, to life itself. Today's threat calls for a miracle of transformative scope. We look up to the government and to pharmaceutical companies for a fix, knowing full well that their bag of tricks is limited to petrochemical drugs and antibiotics. We're in need of some alchemy capable of transmuting sickness into health, fear into wisdom, hysteria into harmony.
In our search for such an alchemical remedy, I'd like to shine a light inward toward our own biological terrain, and downward to the nurturing black earth. Seeing ourselves as co-creators of our terrain—that is, of our daily biological condition—and then understanding that terrain as the single most significant factor in whether we succumb or not, empowers us mightily.
Pondering which daily food grounds me most deeply and most thoroughly enlivens my terrain, I know the answer immediately. An earthy, aged, fermented food dating back at least 2500 years to ancient China, miso (chiang in Chinese) originated from a culture whose world view revered food as medicine. Despite its Oriental origin, miso is now widely available in much of the world. It is a relatively inexpensive condiment—a food that gently and effectively restores dynamic digestion and assimilation. A morning bowl of miso soup—mild, gentle, unassuming—stimulates your appetite for the day's adventures and strengthens you from the inside.
Food for the Ages
Scientists now believe humanity's first cultivated plants were not grains and vegetables, but rather the microorganisms that cause food to ferment. They discovered—undoubtedly by accident at first—that adding the right amount of salt to food—cultivated friendly bacteria and enzymes not only prevented spoiling and deadly toxins, but also transformed the food's molecular structure, making it more healthful, digestible and delicious.
Fermentation, they realized, acted like an external digestive system that preserved the food and qualitatively transformed it. Compare sulfurous cabbage with sparkling sauerkraut, mild milk with tangy yogurt, bland soybeans with the deep, earthy flavor of miso.
Miso fermentation is alchemy working its miracle with microscopic bacteria, yeasts, molds and enzymes on our daily food: grains, beans and salt. It is very similar to the miracle that transpires within our intestines where, with the help of friendly intestinal flora, we transmute food into blood via the hair—like villi on our intestinal walls. And it is like the miracle that springs up from the earth where, thanks to myriad microorganisms and the warming sun, germinating seeds burst into green shoots.
Our life blood begins in our small intestine (called the cauldron by the Chinese), where we cook/transmute food into blood. The intestines are, in fact, our ancient brain; they actually make neurotransmitters just as our brain's neocortex does. Virtually all cases of learning disabilities and attention deficit challenges involve intestinal imbalances and inappropriate food choices. Miso's alchemical gift nourishes this ancient brain and cauldron of our life.
Alchemy (from the Arabic, meaning black earth) draws the parallel between the miracles of gardening, fermenting and digestion/assimilation, our own internal fermentation. Alchemy suggests that fermentation is actually a further cultivation of a food beyond what it draws from the garden soil. Miso epitomizes the brilliant diversity possible with that fermentation. Japanese mythology extols miso as a gift from the gods for health, happiness and longevity.
As a food, miso can be thought of as an all-purpose and delicious seasoning for flavoring soups and vegetable dishes, or for making salad dressings, sauces and spreads. It is used in many of the same ways that we in the West would use salt. It is a condiment in the sense that only a few spoonfuls are used per person on a daily basis due to its high salt content (4-12% by weight). At the same time, miso is such a concentrated source of high-quality protein and other nutrients that only a small amount enhances and dresses up grain, bean and vegetable dishes.
As the high level medicine that Dr. Akizuki refers to, miso creates a truly resilient terrain in those who consume small amounts of it daily in soups, sauces, condiments and salad dressings. There has been no specific work done with miso and anthrax that I know of, and my thrust here is to offer way-of-life foods that strengthen the body and mind rather than heroic remedies that fit into the this-for-that pharmaceutical approach. That said, one researcher introduced some miso into a petri dish containing a culture of the disease bacteria Streptococcus. The good bacteria in the miso overcame and completely destroyed the Streptococcus!
Cultures throughout the world developed fermented foods that enhanced the foods they consumed. Most of these fermented foods and drinks rely on the action of lacto-bacilli. Miso making originated among grain-eating farmers and gardeners, people whose lives and livelihood were rooted in the earth and whose diet centered around grains, beans and vegetables. Among nomadic people whose lifestyle did not permit staying in one place for years at a time, yogurt became a digestive aid. And among animal-herding, meat-eating cultures, people cultured grapes into wine. Wine helps break down the toxins in animal foods, whether it is used to marinade the meat or is drunk with the meat. Ancient people, more in tune with Nature and with their own nature, were sensitive to the energetics of the foods they ate. They were aware of the warming or cooling, drying or dampening, acid or alkaline qualities they experienced as they ate particular foods. They knew how to influence a food's energetic qualities by cooking with fire and through fermentation (cooking without fire).
Like modern food scientists, these ancient people recognized the great value of the soybean as a complement to grains. However, unlike modern food scientists, the ancients recognized how extremely difficult to digest, and how over-cooling raw and unfermented soybeans were to the body. Ingeniously, they devised—in concert with natural micro-organisms in their environment—an intricate fermentation process that transformed the problematic soybean into a rich, hearty, alchemical substance of high order.
An aged, fermented soybean paste with living enzymes and friendly bacteria, miso is made by mixing cooked legumes (usually soybeans, though chickpeas, black soybeans, aduki beans, even peanuts make delectable misos) with sea salt and a cultured grain called koji (usually rice or barley). This fermenting mixture is then aged in wooden vats, sometimes for as long as three years.
Like a fine wine, each miso has its own unique color, flavor and aroma. Miso colors range from rich chocolate browns to loamy blacks, from russets to deep ambers, clarets and cinnamon reds, from warm yellows to light tans. Flavors range from hearty and savory to sweet and delicate.
In selecting a miso, you would usually choose darker, longer-fermented misos for colder seasons; lighter, shorter-fermented ones for warmer seasons and climates; and red, moderately fermented ones year round. To balance your internal condition, you look also at the internal climate of your terrain. To strengthen a weak, deficient, over-acid cold condition, you would go to a dark, longer-fermented variety. And to balance an over-heating, excessive condition, a lighter, sweeter, less salty miso is preferred.
An excellent source of digestive enzymes, friendly bacteria, essential amino acids, vitamins (including vitamin B-12), easily assimilated protein (twice as much as meat or fish and 11 times more than milk) and minerals, miso is low in calories and fat. It breaks down and discharges cholesterol, neutralizes the effects of smoking and environmental pollution, alkalinizes the blood and prevents radiation sickness. Miso has been used to treat certain types of heart disease and cancer. It helps with bed wetting, tobacco poisoning, hangovers, burns and wounds. A fine food for traveling (dry it by roasting over a low flame in skillet), miso gives warmth and life and the wisdom of age to those who consume it daily.
Studies in Japan's Tohoku University have isolated chemicals from miso that cancel out the effects of some carcinogens. We are all inevitably exposed to carcinogens in our foods and our environment. We are also exposed to non-ionizing radiation (ELFs and EMFs) given off by power lines, transformers, electrical stations, computers, hair dryers, microwave ovens and air conditioners.
Miso and Radiation Sickness
Thanks to nuclear accidents and leakage worldwide, we may be exposed to ionizing radiation as well. In the decades since the first atomic bombings, scientists have confirmed that miso (as well as sea vegetables) help protect the body from radiation by binding and discharging radioactive elements. Two weeks after the Chernobyl nuclear accident, all miso and seaweed disappeared from European store shelves.
At the time of the world's first plutonium atomic bombing, on August 9, 1945, two hospitals were literally in the shadow of the blast, about one mile from the epicenter in Nagasaki. American scientists declared the area totally uninhabitable for 75 years. At University Hospital 3000 patients suffered greatly from leukemia and disfiguring radiation burns. This hospital served its patients a modern fare of sugar, white rice, and refined white flour products. Another hospital was St. Francis Hospital, under the direction of Shinichiro Akizuki, M.D. Although this hospital was located even closer to the blast's epicenter than the first, none of the workers or patients suffered from radiation sickness. Dr. Akizuki had been feeding his patients and workers brown rice, miso soup, vegetables and seaweed every day. The Roman Catholic Church—and the residents of Nagasaki—called this a modern day miracle. Meanwhile, Dr. Akizuki and his co-workers disregarded the American warning and continued going around the city of Nagasaki in straw sandals visiting the sick in their homes.
Since the 1950s, Soviet weapons factories had been dumping wastes into Karachar Lake in Chelyabinsk, an industrial city 900 miles east of Moscow. Many local residents began to suffer from radiation symptoms and cancer. In 1985, Lidia Yamchuk and Hanif Sharimardanov, medical doctors in Chelyabinsk, changed their approach with patients suffering from leukemia, lymphoma and other disorders associated with exposure to nuclear radiation. They began incorporating miso soup into their diet. They wrote: "Miso is helping some of our patients with terminal cancer to survive. Their blood improved as soon as they began to use miso daily."
Over a 25-year period, the Japanese Cancer Institute tested and tracked 260,000 subjects, dividing them into three groups. Group one ate miso soup daily, group two consumed miso two or three times a week, while group three ate no miso at all. The results were stark: those who had not eaten any miso showed a 50% higher incidence of cancer than those who had eaten miso.
Twelve years ago, Dr. Evelyn Waselus, a California surgeon suffering from breast cancer, underwent a double radical mastectomy. Reading how Dr. Akizuki had used miso as an external plaster to treat people with radiation burns, she applied a miso plaster on her own wounded breasts, and for the first time in months was relieved of the gnawing, burning pain she, like so many cancer patients, had been experiencing.
Later Dr. Waselus opened Universal Life Center in Weed, California, where she works with cancer and AIDS patients. Many of these people cannot maintain sufficient body weight because they have lost their natural powers of digestion and assimilation. Dr. Waselus premixes their food with three-year old barley miso, then allows it to sit for several hours. The miso predigests the food so patients can more easily assimilate nutrients needed to maintain body weight. Dr. Waselus prescribes miso soup, again with three-year barley miso, to her outpatients undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments at local hospitals. For such people, restoration of the beneficial microorganisms of the intestines is crucial. Her patients do not generally lose their hair, as usually happens with chemotherapy, Dr. Waselus reports. (There is a direct correlation between the intestinal villi and the hair on our heads.) For patients receiving radiation treatment, Dr. Waselus administers an external plaster of miso mixed with aloe vera extract on the area being irradiated, with excellent results.
Spiritual fulfillment and biological resilience in these troubled times comes, I believe, by looking inward and downward. What we find there is something as humble as miso, a simple, whole food alchemically transformed by the power of microorganisms, giving us the inner resources and intestinal force to transmute even the most terrible threats to our own health, happiness and longevity, as well as that of the earth.

Brief van Ed Esko, U.S.A.
Message to My Dear Friends in Japan
I apologize for not commenting sooner. I decided that Facebook was not the appropriate place to comment on a matter as serious and potentially life changing as the events on and after March 11. I have decided instead to post my comments on Macrobiotics-Japan.
The hopes and prayers of all macrobiotic friends in America and around the world are with you. We pray that all of you made it through this crisis. We pray that your family and friends are all unharmed. Our prayers go out to the many thousands who lost their lives, their homes, and their peace of mind.
Natural tragedies such as earthquakes, tsunami, and hurricanes cannot be avoided. Although emergency planning can always be improved, these natural phenomena are the price we pay for enjoying our wonderful life on this beautiful planet.
When natural disasters such as these occur, we mourn those we have lost, we mourn the loss of home and property, and we mourn the loss of our peaceful life. But as we have done for countless millennia, we pick ourselves up, we help those in need, and we rebuild and move forward into the future.
What makes this tragedy unique is that it occurred at a critical time in Japan’s history, as well as in the history of the world. If we can learn the lesson of this tragedy, and take the right steps today, then the losses we have experienced will not be in vain.
Before I address these larger issues, I’d like to offer you practical advice on how to respond.
Please know that it is difficult to be specific as I am writing from Berkshire in Massachusetts, many thousands of miles from you. Aside from calls, e-mails, Facebook postings, and word of mouth from my Japanese friends, I rely largely on American media reports. As you know, the media tend to accentuate the negative and sensational aspects of events. This view distorts the real picture and tends to make things appear more drastic and negative than they are in reality. The amount of rumor, hearsay, and panic response has been overwhelming in this crisis, so that it is somewhat hard to separate fact from fiction, especially at such distance.
Given these constraints, I shall try my best to offer advice.
The first and most important point is that you must trust your intuition. Eating whole natural foods and living a modest active lifestyle mobilizes your sense of awareness. We all know of stories of elephants and other animals in the Asian tsunami seeking high ground before the wave hit the shore. How did they know when the humans did not? Perhaps it is because they were living and eating close to nature and nature’s rhythms. Do not modern foods and modern artificial living remove us from that inborn awareness? I believe they do. Does not a macrobiotic lifestyle heighten that awareness? I believe that it does.
Only you can decide whether you are at the right place at the right time, or the wrong place at the wrong time, and based on that decision, only you can decide the appropriate action to take.
If your intuition tells you that the peak of the crisis has passed, both in terms of the threats of earthquake and of radiation, then the intuitive choice is to continue with daily life while eating well, emphasizing appropriate use of anti-radiation foods like miso, brown rice, burdock, and sea vegetables and following dietary guidelines in macrobiotic publications.
If your intuition tells you that further destruction is yet to come, or is in fact imminent, then the intuitive choice is to find a safe location so as to be out of the path of immediate danger, whether it be of earthquake or of radiation exposure. Here there are two choices. One is to find a safe location in Japan and the other is to leave the country and seek refuge abroad. Once again, what determines a “safe” location cannot be predicted with certainty. Your intuition and sense of direction are your best guides. Remember, that if you are eating well, these innate abilities become stronger and more certain.
What is the larger lesson to be learned from this crisis? What is the appropriate action to be taken in the long term, not only for us, but also for future generations? I believe the lesson to be learned is that we must turn away from destructive and unsustainable sources of energy for modern civilization. We must begin now to devote more, if not all, of our resources, both intellectual and financial, and manpower to development of sustainable green technologies. I believe that, along with introducing a healthy diet and lifestyle, our macrobiotic friends need to take the lead in this genuine green revolution.
Simply put, I believe that of all the modern methods for generating energy, nuclear power is by far the most dangerous and unsustainable. The earthquake and tsunami have exposed that truth to the entire world. Turning from fossil fuel to nuclear power because of the fear of climate change is akin to jumping from the frying pan into the fire. The nuclear alternative is toxic, unsustainable, and too costly. The way ahead is clear: we must develop new sustainable technologies to replace nuclear power and fossil fuels.
I propose that Japan lead the way to a green future for the entire planet. Japan’s current policy on nuclear energy is misguided and naïve. Prior to March 11, Japan’s 54 reactors provided some 30% of the country’s total electricity production. There are ambitious plans to build more reactors to increase this share to 41% by 2017 and 50% by 2030. This policy is moving in the wrong direction. Rather than increasing it’s dependence on nuclear power to 50% by 2030, Japan should strive to reduce it’s dependence by 50% by that date, with the stated goal of eliminating nuclear power entirely before the end of the century, if not sooner.
Rather than invest in costly and dangerous nuclear technology, Japan should invest is resources in green energy. Less nuclear and more green can be Japan’s slogan in the 21st century. In no way can nuclear power be considered green or environmentally friendly.
Simply substituting sustainable green technologies for nuclear power will not solve the whole problem, however. There still remains the problem of what to do with spent nuclear fuel (uranium-235 and -238 and plutonium-239), which is highly radioactive and highly lethal, in addition to other forms of nuclear waste materials.
Japan is currently pursuing a policy of reprocessing nuclear waste at a cost of trillions of yen. Recycling highly toxic nuclear waste is a distortion of the concept of recycling. Labeling this highly misguided practice, as “recycling” is a deception designed to convey a “green” veneer to the process. Don’t be fooled. It is false advertising in its most highly developed form.
Rather than “recycling” toxic nuclear waste, Japan should seek to eliminate it completely from the earth’s ecosystem, beginning with highly toxic plutonium. The dark history of this destructive manmade element is especially relevant to Japan. The first atomic bomb tested at Alamogordo in 1945 used plutonium to create critical mass necessary for an atomic explosion. This process was repeated on August 9, 1945 with the explosion of a plutonium bomb over the city of Nagasaki.
Rather than investing trillions of yen in reprocessing toxic nuclear waste, and essentially not dealing with the fundamental problem, those funds should be invested in promising new technologies that offer the possibility of eliminating these toxic materials from the face of the planet. Promising new technologies include using microorganisms to convert toxic waste into harmless elements through the process of biological transmutation. Another promising technology, pioneered by George Ohsawa, is the laboratory processes of cool fusion and cool fission, in which heavy unstable radioactive nuclei are induced to shed mass and convert to more stable non-radioactive elements at low temperatures, pressures, and energies. These processes are known as low energy nuclear reactions, or LENR. Toxic plutonium-239 and uranium-235 are thus converted to elements such as bismuth-209 and lead-208 which occur in nature and which, although not ideal as end points in the nuclear reduction process, are nevertheless far less dangerous.
The events of March 11 have brought our choices into clear focus. We have the choice to continue on our current path, and face increasing tragedy and destruction, both to humanity and to the planet, or create a new path. The new path is one of increasing harmony with the planet and health and happiness for all.
The choice is up to us.

Nog een belangrijke opmerking van onze ‘seaweedman’ Larch Hanson: wie zoutloos eet of jodiumarm zout gebruikt maakt zich erg kwetsbaar voor nucleaire straling
‘The human inability to regulate the fire of nuclear fission results in the release of radioactive iodine which goes through the air and the food chain to the thyroid glad of the person who has a diet deficient in natural iodine.....resulting in the inability of that person to regulate the inner metabolic fire. Understand’
Wat de import van voedsel uit Japan betreft, neem ik aan dat er ernstige controles zijn. Maar ook andere landen dichtbij zoals Frankrijk en Spanje hebben zeewieren, en mocht onze kust zuiver worden dan zouden we ook onze zeegroenten kunnen gebruiken…..nog werk aan de winkel.
