A year after the largest methane leak in U.S. history was sealed in Porter Ranch, California, residents are continuing to experience significant adverse health consequences. As SoCalGas - the company responsible for the blowout - uses fabricated gas shortages to justify reopening the Aliso Canyon gas storage facility, which has been shut down indefinitely since the leak occurred, a local doctor is now speaking out.

According to a new study by the Los Alamos National Laboratory, TSA airport body scanners cause significant damage to human DNA, potentially leading to illnesses such as cancer.  The study, conducted by Bojan S. Alexandrov, concludes that terahertz waves could “unzip double-stranded DNA, creating bubbles that could significancy interfere with processes such as gene expression and DNA replication.” What this means is that the body scanners used in most U.S. airports may be causing thousands of passengers to suffer fertility problems, fetal development problems, and even giving them cancer.

Millions of Japanese citizens could be at risk of dying from cancer as a result of the increasing amount of radiation pouring out of Fukushima.  According to a shocking report originally published by Fairewinds Energy Eduction (FEE), “Cancer on the Rise in Post-Fukushima Japan,” one million citizens in Japan were thought to be at risk of developing thyroid cancers as a result of the meltdown. That report based its conclusions on the the fact that scientists had understood the radiation levels at the reactor to be around 73 sieverts per hour.
