[ RadSafe ] Occams Razor and EU claims. was: Re: Findings ofenriched U in Fallujah and elsewhere

         Here is a link to Busby's sex ratio paper.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/34158205/Cancer-Infant-Mortality-and-Birth-Sex-Ratio-in-Fallujah-Iraq-2005%E2%80%932009

         He cites his books "Wolves of Water" and "Wings of Death;" 
and he invokes Tondel's work in Sweden which I believe was largely 
debunked on RADSAFE.

         His Table 1 of sex ratios is stratified into 18 age groups 
but he gives ratios for only the youngest four groups.  The ratios 
are presented improperly.

         Table 4 is Relative Risks of Cancer in Fallujah 2005 - 
2010.  The "expected" number of cases is "calculated on the basis of 
rates for 1999 in Egypt and checked against rates reported for Jordan 
1996 - 2001."  Tables 2, 3, 4, and 5 may have citations buried in the 
text of the paper, however the tables themselves have no citations near them.

         This paper was published in the International Journal of 
Environmental Research on Public Health, which has published at least 
four other papers written or co-authored by Busby.

         And on and on. . . .
