Dear Bobbi Smith:
I saw your note below posted to the Radsafe bulletin board. Perhaps, since
the
focus of this upcoming meeting is thyroid disease risk from radiation
exposure,
the American Thyroid Association should insist on a concurrent discussion of
the
documented thyroid health risks [among other head and neck diseases both
malignant and non-malignant] of Nasal Radium Irradiation [NRI], a medical
procedure which was developed at Johns Hopkins and used to treat enlarged
adenoids in military personnel in WWII and children in vast numbers after
WWII.
