[ RadSafe ] RE: DOE funding hormesis research in Australia??

[Muckerheide, James]

Thanks Don, Pam,

 

I read this as a new grant; and I forgot that Pam was at Flinders.  It's
great to see that DOE has continued support of this (credible! :-) work,
especially after their very limited support of animal work in favor of the
(frequently redundant and less informative) cellular studies.

 

Regards, Jim

Pam says "There is an article on the Flinders Uni website at present so Jim
should have been able to find it - it comes up on the home page at present.

He can always look up my papers on PubMed to see if he thinks I'm credible"

	Friends,

	 

	I found no info on this news report in the Press Releases or other
news sources on the Flinders web site provided.  Does anyone have other info
on DOE research that would confirm or question this report?  If there is such
a research project, do you know if the research is credible?

	SMALL doses of radiation may be a tonic for the human body, says an
Adelaide researcher who has won a $1.33 million grant to prove the theory.
	
	The American Department of Energy is funding the research at Flinders
Medical Centre, which has found extremely small doses of radiation may
actually be good for the body.
