As usual, I "prove" it, you ignore it. No surprise.

As we know today, this isn't what's happening. You really should consider
reading those biology papers. Though not expecting acceptance, at least you
wouldn't be so (consistently) wrong. :-) But then you buy NCRP's

Of course. NIH suppressed(es) radiation therapies for them!

Depends on how strong my stomach is. It's a lot like having to watch the
zookeepers feeding the hyenas.
