Green party distances itself from Dr Christopher Busby, a former spokesman promoting products following Japanese nuclear disaster
The Green party's former science and technology spokesman is promoting anti-radiation pills to people in Japan affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster, that leading scientists have condemned as "useless".
Dr Christopher Busby, a visiting professor at the University of Ulster, is championing a series of expensive products and services which, he claims, will protect people in Japan from the effects of radiation. Among them are mineral supplements on sale for ￥5,800 (£48) a bottle, urine tests for radioactive contaminants for ￥98,000 (£808) and food tests for ￥108,000 (£891).
The tests are provided by Busby Laboratories and promoted through a body called the Christopher Busby Foundation for the Children of Fukushima (CBFCF). Both the pills and the tests are sold through a website in California called 4u-detox.com, run by a man called James Ryan.
Though a controversial figure, Busby has been championed by the anti-nuclear movement and some environmentalists. He is still consulted by the Green party on issues such as low-level radiation and depleted uranium, but when contacted by the Guardian the party distanced itself from Busy's activities. Penny Kemp, the Green party communications director, said that the party did not condone Busby's promotion of the products.

P!
I just saw this and was going to post it.
These people should ashamed of themselves,
but so too should anyone that buys into the scam.
For basic protection, it is useful to protect the Thyroid gland with the Iodine in kelp tablets, or Calcium tablets to reduce the likelihood of absorbing other radioactive elements similar to calcium. These don’t cost very much and can be found at any health food or drug store.
The guy went Capitalist, that's all.
You want maybe he and his family starve because of the stupid green party's stand(s) ?
The occupiers are being torn asunder as we speak ... learning that there is a 'system' that is very capitalistic (and quite selfish) that didn't form out of the occupiers, but rather had already been there ... even fomenting the entire scam.
I hope some smart republicans come out of the occupiers.
I have some beachfront property in Arizona for sale.
