RE: Worker exposed to 1,000 times higher-than-normal radiation
Howard,
What really would be interesting is that after the appropriate studies were
done, correcting for diet, age, sex, occupations, etc., no difference is
found in the health between those with exposures up to 260 mSv/y and their
neighbors. I think that would raise serious question, if not destroy, your
radiation deficiency concern.
Time will tell.

Dear Jack and other radsafers,
"Radiation deficiency" is suggested by Cameron as a better understood name
for
the deficiency disease ("radef" for short?). That might include rickets, the
bone growth disruption from lack of calcium absorbtion from vit. D
deficiency
from lack of sunshine. Numerous ecologic (mountain state cancer rates vs
gulf
coast cancer rates) animal experiments in wound healing, cancer resistance
and
infection resistance, etc are defining radef (or whatever).
Most HPs are better qualified than most MDs to prescribe individual packages
under bed, Co60 enriched bedsprings, etc, depending on developing data like
effect of age and individual application like time in that bed.
Would you rather radiation enrichment (perhaps uranium rock like Cameron has
in
his bed) be sold at the grocery, like vitamins?
