RE: "Hormetic" responses are intrinsic to biology
Jim,
Why do you think this is a hormetic response as opposed to an energy
response? This is like saying there is a hormetic response in the eye only
at frequencies of 380 to 760 nm, because we cannot see energies that are
higher (UV) or lower (infrared). If the dose is too low, you cannot see
(night), or if the dose is too high, you are blinded by the light. In this
case, it sounds like there is a cellular response rather than a neurological
response to the photon radiation.
By the way, I still have not gotten anything on the K-40 depleted potassium
experiments? Is there ANYTHING in the literature?

Subject: "Hormetic" responses are intrinsic to biology
Friends,
A current report further to the fact that the biological responses
underlying "hormesis" (taking "hormesis" as limited to the condition of an
enhanced macroscopic endpoint) is intrinsic to biology.
. . .
A soft laser is a low-power laser emitting in the red and near-infrared part
of the spectrum. Studies with cell cultures have shown that radiation from a
soft laser, when used under proper conditions, promotes cell function and
cell proliferation. However, wavelength and dose should be carefully
adjusted to an optimum value: too low a dose does not work and neither does
a high dose. The dose should be adjusted within an interval of about 10%. In
a few animal studies a positive effect on wound healing has been
demonstrated, although other studies did not show such an effect. . . .
