Re: Will the LNT fiction kill again?

Medical dose is the greatest man made dose to humans.  What is in the way of
someone doing a correct epidemiological study of all people in the US who have
had medical doses, therapeutic and diagnostic, to find out if there are any
beneficial effects from the radiation.  We know there are beneficial results
medically from the doses or they wouldn't have been done (except procedures for
legal purposes).  But, are there any ancillary benefits, e.g. hormesis?  Could
such studies be done in other countries?  Who would do the work?  Who would fund
it?  Or is this just dreaming?  Al Tschaeche antatnsu@pacbell.net
