John,

Pollycove presented Biologic and Epidemiologic Foundations of Radiation Hormesis

at our Doctors for Disaster Preparedness meeting July 14, in great detail that

confirms the shoter wave lengths as being as "essential" as those in sunlight to

good health, better when double to 100 x the current USA gulfcoast exposure. You

Muckerheide gave political description at our 2000 meeting. An audiotape of that

could answer your political question.



Happy Holidays
