Afternoon Workshop:  3:30 pm - 5:30 pm Speaker:  Jerry Cuttler 
Dr. Cuttler's topic is "Resolving Controversy over Beneficial Effects 
of Ionizing Radiation" 		
Abstract - In spite of the extensive research carried out during the 
past century, intense controversy continues over the health effects 
of low-level radiation.  This controversy is largely due to 
political, social and economic issues among scientists and analysts 
in a variety of disciplines.  These issues cloud objectivity and 
strengthen paradigms.  Over the past ten years, in 14 universities 
and two research institutes, Japanese scientists have conducted 
exceptional research which clearly demonstrates beneficial effects of 
low-level radiation and cancer cures following therapy with low doses 
of radiation.  Assessment, replication and extension of this work in 
North America could lead to greater appreciation of its significance. 
 Cancer patients would demand such treatments, leading to universal 
acceptance of these bio-positive effects and reducing public fear of 
nuclear technology.
