Re: "Limit to Survival - Effect of Radiation
John,
You are correct in that, if we are to improve the "Limit to Survival - Effect of
Radiation" (topic), persons with only high school science must understand their
benefit from some supplemental alpha, x, and or gamma radiation. So I check my
postings with my medical assistant. They are clear to her. Why not you?
There has been great success in reducing tooth decay and hypothyroidism through
the public health measures of fluoridating water and providing choice of iodized
salt (my preference is the free market method). Similarly, I advocate choice of
radiation supplement to promote survival (this topic). Choices could be:
1, HP monitored radon to 50-100 Bq(m-3), from uranium ore, expanding current
Health Mines type commercial activity,
2, Co 60 enriched bedsprings (to provide 1-10 cSv/yr @20 cm - spleen area, also
HP monitored).
I, too, "would appreciate someone to intervene and tell [John] what the point of
the message is."
