No. Because you don't show any understanding of the science.



For those who are interested in the science before "the demise of a

legitimate hypothesis" (in Ed Calabrese's "kind" published words) in the

1930s, you can see also Pusey in "Science," 1911:



"THE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF RADIUM

     "The whole process is one of exaggerated stimulation of the activity of

the cells of the tissues: a stimulation which varies in degrees with the

degree of specialization or functional activity of the different types of

cells. In its slightest degrees it is the ordinary protective process that

occurs under exposure to sunlight, but under the unusual and extreme

irritation of this artificial form of radiant energy the reaction becomes

destructive.

     "Thus there is produced by radium: (1) A stimulation of the cells;Š"

Also:

     "This consideration has been directed to the effects of radium rays. As

to the emanations, [Ed. Note: radon] it may be stated briefly that

experiments with the emanations with young mice, upon bacteria, and upon

protozoa show results quite like those from exposure to the rays."





You can see an extract and the full paper at:

Under "1.2 ..."



The papers are chronological, so it's at 1911 at the end.
