[ RadSafe ] Re: Cancer reduction by Radiation

[John Jacobus]

Dr. Long,
Radiation is used to treat many medical conditions
beyound diagnosis and cancer therapy.  I sent a list
to Jim Muckerheide, and can also send it to you if you
need one.  

Your office must be very crowded with sacks of KCl
only 8 inches away.  Obviously, your wife does not
have the same convinctions about radiation you do. Why
not?  Can't you convince her?

As a physician, I would believe that you could
prescibe ionizing radiation to treat gangrene.  It is
your responsibility to offer your patient the best
treatments.
