A few years ago there was a string on radsafe on determining the best
means
of supplying supplementary radiation to those unfortunate people who
reside
in radiation deficient areas.
My favorite is adding tritium to drinking water supplies. Advantages
would
include ease of controlling the dose, uniform distribution in the body,
and
relatively low cost. Those who s*bscribe to the LNT religion, could
simply
drink untritiated water.

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?
