[parthasarathy k s]

Dear list members,

I have sent a message  to the list on 3rd July 2009. It is about an 
anti-radiation pill called "BioShield-Radiation. I got some feedback.

I understand that the company which promotes it, is on a publicity campaign. 
They identified seven demographic groups to benefit from the pill. One of them 
is air passengers who may be exposed to a few microsievert during a flight from 
cosmic radiation. The company is planning to gift 115,000 doses of the pill (to 
the people in Fukushima), enough for 1000 adults for a few months. A dose costs 
$4.95 and normally you need two doses for instance, one before a dental x-ray 
exam and one shortly afterwards to reduce the freeradical stress due to the 
x-rays!!

PMC has not yet published their findings in a-peer reviewed journal.

I shall appreciate feed back, comments etc on this product. The company has 
included virtually every one as customers for the pill!. The company claimed 
that their pill is superior to potassium iodide as it offers protection to the 
whole body unlike potassium iodide which protects only the thyroid!

An interesting finding is that the pill reduces the number of Double Strand 
Breaks in the DNA of patients who underwent CT examinations (Plausible 
observation, but not yet published in a peer reviewed journal
