If there was ever any doubt that "Dr. Chris"....  was a scaremonger who it
could be argued exemplifies the worst actions of a con-man trying to profit
by misleading vulnerable people,  they should look at the link posted by
Roger Helbig below.

Dr. Phil had better watch out since Dr. Chris wants to bump Dr. Phil out of
the limelight by presenting world-saving YouTube performances about the
dangers of Fukushima.

Rad protection specialists perhaps should set up an initiative that might be
termed, as a working name,  the "Berating of the Bereted". 

However, if you really can't resist, and want to pattern yourself after Dr.
Chris, you can spend $4.00  USD online and buy your own beret:

The so-called "Busby Foundation for the Children of Fukushima" [really, I am
not making this up]  established by Dr. Chris is now hyping the sale of a
mineral supplement that Dr. Chris claims will protect children from
"radioactivity binding to the DNA" released from the Fukushima accident [
see:  http://www.4u-detox.com/ 
and look at the Youtube video of Dr. Chris himself selling his
detox/radioprotective pills while he swings on a children's swing in an
empty playground in Sweden]. 

These little magic Busby detox pills [for which he is charging 8000 yen =
$75 US a bottle - no joke] contain nothing more than the following 4
minerals,  Mg, Se, Mo, and Ca. I've show a colum below of the US DV or RDA
for each of these 4 minerals, and the amount of these 4 minerals found in a
random multi-vitamin [my Mom's multi-vitamin in this case]:

            Busby Detox    Daily Value [DV]      My Mom's
           Pills [$75 ]      US Recommended     Multivitamins [$8 per 150
tabs] [+ 36 other 
            Per Bottle                                             vitamins
& minerals                                    
         ____________     ______________      _____________       

Magnesium   300 mg             400                100
Selenium    50 micro-gm         70                 20
Molybdenum  25 micro-gm         75                 75
Calcium     66 mg [*]         1000 mg             200 mg of Ca
   
Note: Busby's little magic detox pill is listed as having 800 mg of Calcium
Lactate of which only 66 mg is Calcium.

As seen above, the US DV for each mineral [a minimal amount that people
should normally be able to obtain via their diet] is more than that
contained in the Busby magic DNA/detox pills costing $75 a bottle.

So if the Children of Fukushima want to be protected in an equivalent manner
to that afforded by the magic little Rad Protective Detox Pills,  they could
save their $75 by not sending it to the Dr. Chris...... Foundation, and take
any normal multivitamin and wash it down with 55 ml [ one-quarter cup or 2
oz.] of milk equal to the 66 mg of Calcium in the magic pills, since milk
contains 1200 mg/liter of Calcium.  

What a scam. Can someone be arrested for assault and battery on the truth?

Busby intimates to this list that he is a genuine scientist; he also
puts that pretense out to the University of Ulster that has tendered
him an appointment as a Visiting Assistant Professor.  In that guise,
he claimed to have advanced the state of depleted uranium research,
but that paper does not seem to have ever been published in print or
on-line (his mode of preference since they ask the fewest questions
and do not rigidly question junk science or snake oil salesmen).  This
was just sent to me from a friend.

It would seem that Fukushima has produced an opportunity for snake oil
merchants:
