John and others concerned with radiation benefit/harm,
C reactive protein does surpass cholesterol as prognosticator of heart
attack, stroke and death (recently flooding the media). It also has been
related to clots in the very public Womens Health Initiative where
women who took estrogen-progesterone had more clots vs placebo (but I
believe non-smokers not, when data disclosed). In Crohn's Disease
(terrible colitis) improvement also follows CRP decrease, and CRP
appears to be a measure of inflammation, like a smoothing of fever
readings. What do you think of CRP use as a quicker, more convenient
measure to predict heart disease and death in a placebo study of 0.1 to
1.0 R/Hr from uranium ore under the mattress of persons with CRP>4
mgm/L?
I believe over-regulation of low dose radiation is increasing clots and
cancer in areas with < 0.1 cGy/year, like most of the USA coast,
considering the lesser rates in areas with h! igher background. . . .------------------
Howard,
Where did you find the claim that low dose radiation is increasing the incidence of clots? Is this another one of those situations were you lay incidence-in-the-population maps over background radiation level maps? Can you cite a real, epidemiological study?
