Dealing With Radioactive Pollution
Radioactive pollution has reached heavily populated Tokyo, Japan
When professionals seek to purify items, they often turn to fire as the great refiner. In light of the fact radioactive materials have crept into the water and soil in Japan, after an unprecedented earthquake and tsunami damaged the Fukushima nuclear plant, professional, CONTROLLED burning of segments of farmland, then fresh topsoil, would be beneficial in reducing some of the pollutants.
Tokyo
Following the scenario of how the nuclear incident unfolded, the radioactive elements involuntarily deposited into the water and soil should not be in their purest, undiluted forms, due to rain and excessive water. Therefore, the items would not be as volatile and combustible as they normally would, if fire is introduced to said soil. The plan would work, but it would have to be carefully executed by the government to prevent accidents (translation: don't burn the country down).
Fukushima Nuclear Plant
As for the water, Japan is going to need a greater national filtration system to trap and breakdown the pollutants streaming through the water. They cannot leave the pollution issue unchallenged. The government could also add a sparse amount of water purifying agents for a time, to their national supply, rather than standard fluoride, to address the issue. It would help. During emergencies in hurricane prone regions, when water cannot be boiled, very small, measured amounts of chlorine is added (but it should be properly measured per gallon of water, to avoid poisoning).

Radiation And Cancer In Relation To The Japanese Earthquake And Tsunami
After Japan's recent earthquake and tsunami, which severely damaged a nuclear power plant, cancer rates are going to rise in said nation, with the effects also being felt on the west coast of America, particularly California.
Radiation has poisoned the air and sea. Travelers are also bringing it to other destinations. The ocean already took a battering from the oil spills in 2010 and this recent dose of radiation emanating from Japan's shores will not help the situation.
Global solutions are required to restore the delicate eco balance of the earth. It is being thrust further out of whack, in acts that are detrimental to humanity. Radiation in food, such as seafood and radioactive items seeping into the ground, will make their way into crops.

Is Botox Safe

A number of people have been questioning the safety of cosmetic drug, Botox, in light of people having died after using it. It is essentially, purified poison, injected into the face in small quantities, to temporarily paralyze facial muscles, in attempting to reduce facial wrinkles and lines for a few months at a time.
The mere fact that it is a derivative of a potent poison and has shown it has the capability to cause death even in its treated form, should raise questions about free radicals and cancer as well. Sustained toxicity is never good for any system.
Can injecting this lethal toxin into our wrinkles really be harmless?
February 20, 2010 - How safe is that Botox jab? Is it really true that it can leak to your brain?
One of the main sources of concern in the United States is recent research that casts doubt on initial confidence that Botox cannot reach the brain. In 2008, Italian researchers reported that botulinum toxin injected into the faces of mice had travelled to the brain stems three days later. The potential consequences for nerve signalling and breathing are enormous.
The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons has pointed out that if something happens in mice it does not follow that it will be repeated, or be harmful, in humans. The manufacturer of Botox, Allergan, says that other published studies contradict the findings of the Italian researchers.
