[ RadSafe ] Re: Lung cancer reduction by Radiation

Syd,
If you believe that low radiation is good for your
health, what have you done to increase your radiation
exposure?

Can you cite any articles that show low doses of
radiation are better than statin drugs?  

Dr. Long, HAVE you prescibe low dose of radiation
rather than statin drugs for your patients?
