Tooth Fairy Project

[Franz Schoenhofer <schoenho@via.at>]

Norman,

You know by now very well that I am harsh, that I have offended you by
asking you for an explanation why you are posting to RADSAFE.

Now I am getting even harsher (or probably it should read "more harsh") by
asking you a few terribly simple questions:

What are the levels of Sr-90 found in the teeth analysed by the Tooth Fairy
Project? I request data, indicating Sr-90 concentrations per grams of dry
weight, ratios of Sr-90 to calcium and Sr-90 to Sr-stable. I request
information about the time of collection. I request information about the
analytical protocol used to measure the Sr-90 concentration. I request
information whether the laboratories were certified. 

Until now you have not provided any of these data. If you claim all the
kind of infant mortality, breast cancer, leukemia which is at least close
to accusation of crime you are in my opinion obliged morally to inform
about the background of your claims. 

I will go so far to tell you, if you do not provide the data on the Sr-90
in teeth you are in my opinion not entitled to continue your claims on the
impact of Sr-90 on the health of children and grown-ups. This does of
course not prevent you to continue your postings to RADSAFE - how should I
forbid it? - but then you have lost the last credibility for me and I will
withdraw from the discussion. This might be fine for some others. 

If you provide the data I would be more than happy to compare them with the
studies of childrens teeth, wild animals, world wide precipitation and so
on, because I am very interested in this topic. I will of course distribute
this on RADSAFE.

Franz
