Well - that puts a different spin on things than what we have heard. I doubt that press conference got out into the mainstream - didn't look like too many press people were there. Maybe this is a test for humankind. We will need to become super spiritual conductors - and transcend the limitations of the physical - and Earth will need to do the same. Together - we will be the awakened "Sovereign Integral" described in the Wingmaker materials. I am sure that once in that state we can spontaneously heal the body and the earth.

Notice the date on this press conference - back in March. Things have progressed since then no doubt. Seems like no one is talking about it anymore - like it's not happening. This would be a good thread to keep everyone updated - as the information seems to be scant, so post what you find! Thanks UK for bringing this to the forum...

UCB Food Chain Sampling Results

Back to Main UCB Air and Water Sampling Page

Radionuclides, once deposited by rainwater or air onto the ground, will find their way through the ecosystem. We are already tracking its path from rainwater to creek runoff to tap water, but we would also like to monitor how much these isotopes that make their way into our food. For example, how much gets taken up by the grass and eventually winds up in our milk?

We have been collecting produce that is as local as possible to test for the radioactive isotopes. We might expect different kinds of plants to take up different quantities of cesium and iodine, so we are trying to measure as many different plants and fruits as we are able to. So far, we have measured grass, wild mushrooms, spinach, strawberries, cilantro, kale, and arugula. We have also measured local topsoil.

The topsoil, grass, and wild mushroom samples collected so far all come from the same place, so comparing grass samples to each other is a fair "apples to apples" comparison. For most of the produce, different samples came from different markets and different farms, so there will be many factors influencing the results. This variety of produce helps provide a picture of the food chain as a whole. But for understanding the time-dependence of the food chain results, the grass and soil is what to look at.

In the tables below, we are providing two numbers for each of the isotopes. The first is a standard concentration unit of Becquerel per kilogram (Bq/kg) which is the number of particles decaying per second in each kilogram of the sample. The number in parentheses after the activity is the number of kilograms that one would need to consume to equal the radiation exposure of a single round trip flight from San Francisco to Washington D.C. (0.05 mSv). For more information on how this equivalent dose is calculated, the details are here: How Effective Dose is Calculated

The experimental setup used for the food testing is the same setup used for the Rainwater Collection Experiment.

Thanks for posting Billy.  I just don't know if I can trust her data because I didn't hear any of this on Faux News, LOL...

I saw Michel Chossudovsky sitting at her left.  I am so glad he does what he does at Global Research.  On the upside (hopefully this is true), there are those (like George Kavassilas) alleging to be in contact with advanced cultures/ET's alleging that these forms of radiation pollution and poisoning can be neutralized in very short order, given the invitation were extended in harmony from all on earth.

george kavassilas youtube - Google Search

and this excellent interview, just got through listening and it will pleasantly knock yer socks off and very likely resonate like a mo fo

Red Ice Radio - George Kavassilas - Ascension and Beyond

I also read in one esoteric source that all evolving humanoid species come to the place of being able to split the atom and they must survive the discovery or blow themselves or poison themselves into oblivion and the process can start again for another.

I guess the expression in form in 3rd density land can be seen as preschool in relation to all other Conscious Being...  It is getting interesting, no?

As always, remember the very adept words of the late Bill Hicks, "Its just a ride" (a ride you elected to get on very willingly and Consciously)....

Thanks all,

As depressing as this is, it's better to get the news out than ignore it. Here is an update on radiation levels that is very recent.

Thanks for sharing that radio broadcast of George Kavassilas, Chris.  (You can listen to it on his website without the annoying popups:  http://georgekavassilas.org/)  I resonated with much of what he said.  At the same time, he puts forth some concepts that are contrary to many other sources, such as... meditating and basking in the light opens one up to false, artificial light beings and is, in essence, like a drug addiction, which will have to be weaned during the ascension process.  Now I'm really confused!

If one were polarized toward the "good side" (he called it "goodie two shoes" or something like that) than one could be opening themselves up to possible wolves in sheep's clothing so to speak.  Like if one were thinking they were really close to God while judging others for not being as close to God as they felt they were, or determining that "they" were lost in the "dark", you can imagine the deceptive "guides" that one could be opening themselves up to for the polarized self deception they were willfully entertaining.

Balance (of polarities) and clear headed discernment go hand in hand maybe, or something along those lines?  His mentioning of the Vesica Pisces (can't remember the correct spelling right now) is interesting too.  Take a positive circle and a negative circle and overlap them, the overlap is the VP where the real action is, not in the negatively or positively charged circle...

George is an inspiring treat and story to say the least...

Thanks Chris, great post.

This is difficult information to hear. I'd love to hear from you guys if you think this woman is telling the truth. I tend to believe her - boy is this depressing.

I think parts 1 and 2 got mixed up in the upload process. I think this is part 1 and following is part 2.

I got to talk to her on the phone for about an hour a few years ago.  She is one of you's and I's, down to earth, warm and very informed on the subject....

She is very approachable if you have any questions

This is a fairly lengthy read and Doctor Apsley does a good job of disspelling myths. Michio Kushi, who brought macrobiotics to the the US, had considerable success treating the atomic bomb radiation victims with seaweed. Surely the seaweed must have been radioactive after the bombings.

What radioactive elements are the threat from Fukushima

What the Government is not telling you

What is The Petkau Effect

What are the specific health risks to you & your family

What the sequence to these threats will be over the next 5 years

I have not been up on measuring radioactivity, for many years.  I am used to roentgens as the unit of measurements. It seems now that that is not used at all anymore but something called bequerelles and seiverts and who knows what else.  I have a geiger counter that measures in old fashion roentgens. Can anybody make a comment on how roentgens compares to other forms of measurements, so that I can understand what I am reading in relationship to such charts as the one above?

By the way, the ambient radioactivity level around my house on Saturday was measuring between 3.75 and 4.25 roentgens.  That seems a low/normal level to me.  After the rains we recieved this morning it may be quite different as I understand that rain will deposit any radioactive particles for the atmospere onto the ground and foliage.
