Thanks Jim.



Has anyone else heard of Peter Fong's report(s) before ?

.....especially reference 2 of K. L. Cheng's Letter to the editor of the

Microchemical Journal, "Low dosage of radiation health benefit," posted by

Jim.



That reference is "The ultimate experiment proving the beneficial effects of

low level nuclear weapon test. BAPS 42 (1997), p. 1811." by P. Fong.  

What exactly is "BAPS 42" if I may ask ? (....something published by the APS

presumably ?)



Fong's claim of reduced cancer rates following US bomb tests is certainly

startling -- but has it been published in any peer-reviewed trade journal ?



Thanks.

Cancer Death Rates of all States of U.S. in all Past 50 Years Related to

Natural and Artificial Nuclear Radiation



Peter Fong

Physics Department, Emory University

Atlanta, Georgia 30322



Abstract



Cancer death rates of 50 States of U.S. in all the past 50 years are

analyzed according to natural and artificial nuclear radiation. Figure 3

(shown below) shows their dependence on altitudes of the States (perennial

natural radiation)-the higher the lower deaths. The 8 mountain States

average is that a doubling of natural radiation 100 mrem/yr reduces the

cancer death rate 25%. Figure 4 shows their dependence on distances from

Nevada, the site of airborne nuclear weapons tests in 1950s (one-shot

artificial nuclear radiation of 30 mrem/yr for the test years). Nevada

showed a reduction of 25% of cancer death rate after the first 4 years and

continued for more than a decade. Alaska and Hawaii show no effect. The

other States show reduction related to distance and peculiar features timed

with the bomb explosion. The national average is 24.3% cancer rate reduction

for 100 mrem/yr of bomb radiation, in perfect agreement with natural

radiation.



Figure 3 shows the cancer death rates per 100,000 population in the U.S.

over the past 50 years. The thick brown curve on the top represents the

national average. The thick yellow curve in the middle is the 8 mountain

states average, which is about 25% lower than the national average,

indicating a 25% reduction of cancer deaths over the 50 years in the high

altitude region, where the natural background radiation is 100 mrem/yr

higher than the normal 100. The 8 thin color curves show the 8 mountain

states separately, which spread out in parallel from the yellow average

according to their altitudes-higher states having lower cancer. An analysis

shows the cancer reduction is exactly proportional to radiation.







Figure 3-Cancer death rate per 100,000 population of the States of U.S.

analyzed according to their altitudes (perennial natural radiation). The

altitudes of the States in foot unit given in the figure are the population

weighted averages of the municipalities of the States accurate to 4 figures.





Correlation does not prove causation. Hundreds of evidences were denied,

including the above one, in policy decisions. An experiment corresponds to

the above study would require the exposure of the entire population of the

U.S. to a good amount of radiation, which is impossible. However, exactly

such an experiment has been done, albeit serendipitously, in the airborne

nuclear weapons tests in early 1950s. It increased the background radiation

level about 30% (30 mrem/yr added to normal 100 ).



The experiment was carried out without protest from the activists and

without recognition from the scientists. The results were not kept as

scientific data but were kept serendipitously by health workers for their

routines. An excellent chance of making important discovery was buried in

the mountains of government statistics. It took one more serendipity for

stupid me to bump into the gold mine by accident (the whole world was even

more stupid not to learn it). The result is the lower curve in Figure 4

(shown below), which is nothing but the same as the top curve of Figure 3,

only analyzed in the bomb test light. The great surprise coming out of it is

that the nuclear weapon tests, though increased the radiation level, did not

increase cancer deaths but instead reduced it by 418,000 for the entire U.S.

during the test period, verifying the correlation study conclusion

quantitatively but proved it by experiment. 







Figure 4-Cancer dearth rate per 100,000 population of the States of U.S.

analyzed according to their distances from the bomb test site Nevada

(one-shot nuclear bomb test radiation).



Experts dismissed it, considering it still as a correlation. It took me 5

years to find out it really is an experiment. The test bombs were set off in

Nevada at "controllable" space and time. Besides studying the entire U. S.

as a whole as in the lower curve of Figure 4, there are 50 States of U.S.,

each can be studied as an independent observer with its own peculiar, unique

space-time parameters and resulting in 50 independent experiments. No

experiment can be more comprehensive and it is the ultimate because it

includes the entire population, willingly or not, without choice and without

advance knowledge of cancer reduction, eliminating the necessity of placebo

control experiment to guarantee the sample is not skewed. 



In the upper part of Figure 4 are shown the results of 10 States so studied,

from the nearest Nevada to the distant Hawaii. The analysis is similar to

Figure 3, which separates the U.S. total to States with different altitudes

which are not "controllable" (correlation study), but now separates in

States with different distances to bomb tests, which are "controllable"

(Experiment). The curves differ drastically, which can nail down the

cause-effect relation conclusively. Nevada stands out drastically. In 4

years after the start of the tests, cancer rate dropped 25%, better than

cancer hospitals. Cancer being "incurable" by any, this must be due to

something beyond all, i.e., the new radiation from the bombs. The reduction

of cancers in Nevada continued for 2 decades. The far away states Hawaii and

Alaska show no effect of the bomb tests. The other 8 contiguous States all

show effect of the bomb tests, more or less, according to distances from the

bomb test site. The hallmark teeth-bites on the curves timed with the tests

are everywhere and speak loudly for the test effect on cancer reduction.

These curves prove bomb radiation can reduce cancer; the national average is

24.3% reduction for 100 mrem/yr bomb dose, which agrees extremely well with

the reduction rate of natural radiation from Figure 4. Since no other study

can possibly surpass this data base of 250 million persons in 50 years, the

conclusion of 24.3% reduction of cancer death rate for 100 mrem/yr increase

of nuclear radiation here obtained should be considered to be the ultimate. 



The Nuclear Test Ban Treaty was promulgated in 1959, ten years after the

start of the massive tests in Nevada, in response to the world opinion on

nuclear radiation hazard. The beneficial effect was totally unexpected.

Starting 1960 nuclear tests went underground and in two decades 3 times more

radiation was generated but buried underground. If it were in the air it

would have saved 1.5 million lives from cancer death. It is the most

grotesque irony of the test ban treaty which grows out of a highly inspired

humanistic ideal. Even more grotesque is that this is just the beginning of

a series that characterize the 20th century one that is the age of wisdom

and also the age of foolishness.



Later we will show that nuclear radiation not only helps cancer but also all

old-age degenerative diseases, including the major killers of heart disease

and stroke, and thus will extend life span. Indeed 29 million people in

Kerala, India have life expectancy 10.7 years longer than one billion

Indians due to nuclear radiation from thorium mine. Currently nuclear plant

is considered as a scourge; people stay away as if a plague. In the future

it would be a benefactor; people would frock to live near a nuclear plant

and ask for release of more radiation so that they can live ten years

longer. The nuclear hysteria is the utmost stupidity of the 20th century,

not to mention the economic losses, environmental degradation, and

international crisis because of the abandon of nuclear power.

biology, geophysical sciences, philosophy, history and social studies. He is

best known in the world scientific community for his statistical theory of

nuclear fission. He is also a freelance columnist contributing to The New

York Times, The Christian Science Monitor, the San Francisco Chronicle, The

Atlanta Journal and the Atlanta Constitution.



His latest two books encompass all the knowledge and wisdom to solve the

vital problems and to fill the void of the lost souls. Readers of Steven

Pinkes' two best sellers, How the Brain Works and The Language Instinct,

would be particularly interested in picking up what le left off -- he stated

that no one knows how the brain works and a conclusion about the brain is

convincing only if many kinds of evidence converge on it.  Indeed, not just

many, but all.
