The document summarizes the acute and long-term health effects experienced by survivors of the Hiroshima atomic bombing. In the immediate aftermath, thousands died from burns, radiation sickness, and injuries from the blast. Survivors dealt with emotional trauma as well as physical effects like hair loss, bleeding, and reduced blood cells. Later, survivors saw increased rates of cancers, keloid scarring, cataracts, and mental retardation in children born to survivors. The document suggests diseases that manifested later were part of the body's regeneration process and trauma experienced during the bombing contributed to conflicts that later resulted in certain cancers according to META-Health.
3. “On August 6th, 1945 at 8.15 am, an American B-29 bomber had carried out
the World’s first atomic bombing. On that day 13 newborn babies died even
before they had time to cry. Over 100,000 people-men, women, and children
had perished and a millions were injured and homeless"

5. So many people had
sustained heavy burns
and their skin had
melted due to the heat
and radiation of the
bomb.

7. They had jumped into the salty water of river Motoyasu as it
is connected to the sea. This irritated the wounded areas
further. Their face and bodies were burnt were beyond
recognition, and could not be recognized.

13. Emotional trauma on mind body and
spirit of survivors of Hiroshima.
The impact of shock was greater near
the epicenter of the bomb. The
symptoms or injuries appearing soon
after the bombing derived from heat,
blast or radiation are known as acute
effects.
14. Bone marrow
and mucous membranes
Hair loss,
Bleeding gums,
Purpura,
Stomatitis,
Hemorrhagic tendencies,
Reduced red and white blood cells and other
Blood abnormalities.
Death
Effects of Radiation
15. Side Effects of Radiation
Keloids,
Cataract,
Leukemia,
Malignant tumors
and in-vitro effect appeared.
16. META-Health explains
• that body is doing something meaningful to
protect life.
• Disease that manifested years was actually
part of regeneration process.
17. Keloid
Keloid is an irregular
abnormal scar tissue which
occurs when the skin is
healing. During the trauma
the survivors felt unprotected
and separated from loved
ones. The body grew extra
skin in order to give extra
protection to the individual
against further trauma.
19. Cancer
• Cancers: Cancers began to increase in Japan
after 1960. Most cancers occur a few years
after a trauma i.e. almost when people come
to terms with something. According to META-
Health some of the cancers and their conflicts
20. Cancer
• Myeloma(tumor of bone
marrow) due to self-
devaluation conflict;
• Ovarian cancer: brutal
separation from loved ones.
• Urinary tract cancer: unable
to mark ones territory.
• Breast cancer-worry nest and
brutal separation conflict.
• Esophagus cancer: unable to
swallow some information
• Colon cancer: unable to
get rid of shit in life.
• Stomach cancer unable
to digest a problem of big
chunk of information or
anger.
• Lung cancer: fear of
death.
• Leukemia: loss of ones
identity
21. Cancer

• Ovarian cancer: brutal
separation from loved ones.
• Urinary tract cancer: unable
to mark ones territory.
• Breast cancer-worry nest and
brutal separation conflict.

• Stomach cancer unable

• Lung cancer: fear of
death.
• Leukemia: loss of ones
identity
31. Cataract
• occurred due to
thevisual brutal
separation from loved
ones which caused life
to be colorless and grey
this caused the clouding
of the lens.
32. In - Vitro Exposure
• of the radiation
caused microcephaly
or mental
retardation in the
progeny. Could it be
that some surviving
pregnant mothers
saw no hope in life
and this impacted
the unborn child?
33. The trauma and the aftermaths of the
bombing were heart breaking. Getting to
know of the cause of the trauma would
actually help the survivors and their future
generations to find a strategy to deal with
further presumed and actual attacks.
Spending millions of dollars on prevention
would be a better idea that the expenditure
on the rehabilitation of the victims.
