RE: Dirty bombs, LNT, and Removing False Fears

Howard,

If we are going to have clear discussions, you are going to stop assuming

the I, and others on this list, understand all of your comments.  What do

you mean by "C reactive protein prognostic value = cholesterol) by

supplemental 0.5 to 5.0 rem/yr?"  What diseases are the regulations

perpetuating?

John Jacobus and HPs who would protect from both excess and deficient

radiation.



It is not "homeopathic" to prevent cancer and other disease (like myocardial

infarction, considering recent C reactive protein prognostic value =

cholesterol) by supplemental 0.5 to 5.0 rem/yr.



We are having these discussions because regulators like yourself have been

expensively perpetuating deficiency disease. Excessive safety precautions

damage public health and welfare.

The "precautionary principle" favored by anti-nucs requires that regulators

stop depriving underprivileged areas of radiant energy associated with

better health.
