NO thyroid cancer increase from Chernobyl radiation?  

The higher the dose, the less was the rate of thyroid cancer, 

  in  this  prepress ref ( letter from Bobby Scott). 



"In Bryansk region, Russia the thyroid cancer incidence was found 45% higher in males and 90% higher in females, than for the whole Russian population. 

However, when dose-response analyses were performed using 

external and internal comparisons, no positive association of thyroid cancers with radiation dose was observed, but a negative one, i.e. a hormetic effect (Ivanov et al 2004). 

  

These results strongly suggest that the increased cancer rates in Bryansk (and by implication in other contaminated regions) compared with general population rates are due to thyroid cancer screening and better reporting rather than radiation exposure (Ron 2007). " 

  

So, is KI needed after exposure or for prevention? 

I think not.

Dear Colleagues: 

  

Attached is the prepress version of a Dose-Response Journal paper by Zbigniew Jaworowski with the title “Observations of the Chernobyl Disaster and LNT.”  I thought you may like to know about the upcoming publication as it includes a discussion of thyroid cancers. The paper is one of seven papers that will appear in an upcoming special issue of Dose-Response that relates to “hormesis and radiation-induced cancer.” All of the papers provide evidence against the validity of the LNT hypothesis as it relates to radiation induced cancer. There are a few typos in the attached paper, but I expect that they will be corrected before the final version is published. 

  

Best wishes,

Thank you, Radsafers, for refreshing my memory with journal citations! 

Radfear, ignorance of radiation risk/benefit, kills thousands of times more people than radiation overdose 

(not even including the loss of cheap energy by over-regulation).

Dear Howard, 



As I tried to convince you, I have been really close to the Chernobyl investigations. Why cant’t you accept it? On the other side you accept „100 000+ 

Abortions“ still without giving any source. Contamination of food was a severe problem of the European economy – not of Radiation Protection. I do not want to waste 

my time by repeating commenting on those topics. There are hundreds of thousands of links available on the internet. Look at them and do not expect that RADSAFE will give you the  ultimate answser. 



Best regards. 



Franz
