[ RadSafe ] Re: References: Radiation induced immuneresponseDETERS spread of cancer

John, Syd et al,
    Perhaps you may recall a string on this same topic on radsafe a few

supplementary radiation to radiation deficient people. I think that
tritiated soft drinks might provide the most efficient and tasty method.
Where can I go to pick up my Nobel prize :-?
