Howard,

Maybe your chief of immunology is smarter than you think.

John, (and all HPs interested that < 10rem/year may benefit)

    Indeed, not all medical conditions can be fixed by radiation - or

balanced

diet or iodized salt or fluoridated water, etc.



However. numerous animal and ecologic studies suggest more harm from

deficiency

than excess radiation! That message should redistribute >$10 B /year.

My exploration of human experiment (needed for all new medicine) is hung up

on a

convincing test of benefit. The chief of immunology research at UCSF says he

would not apply to normal persons any improvement in T cells proven with

radiation.
