Re: from lochbaum, differences in biological effects of radiation

[Norman & Karen Cohen <norco@bellatlantic.net>]

Hi Ruth
-------I think we continue to talk past each other. Perhaps its due to my lack
of scientific training, who knows.
Anyway, YES I agree with you, that it doesn;t matter from the standpoint of
radiation, whether the source was man made or not. But (sorry), . the point of
the TFP is that Sr-90, because it is man-made, can act as a marker, it can point
the finger right to the offending emitter, in this case, nuke plants. And, if
Sr-90 is coming from nuke plants, then the person who has rec'd the Sr-90 is
also getting a whole cocktail of low level radiation from everything else a nuke
plant emits. ---------

Can you, or some other Radsafer, tell me what studies have been done about the
effects of radiation emission from within the body? Thus one of the TFP claims
is that Sr-90 lodges in the bones, where it continues to emit radiation that
weakens the immune system. Has this idea every been tested?

And thanks for the spelling lesson. I've fired my computer's spell checker!  :0)

thanks
norm
