Jerry,
Of course, it you only select those studies that show a beneficial effect, as those screened and posted on RS&H, then you can say that all of these studies show that . . . I am sure you know that selection bias is always a problem. It is like listening to one TV news station or reading only one newspaper.
Even Dr. John Cameron is questioning the relevance of the NSWS.

John,OK, but if the NSWS and the multitude of other studies cited in the RS&H summary on effects of low-dose radiation (<10rem/a) all indicate lower cancer incidence with increased dose level, and no data indicate otherwise, why is it not reasonable to assume that, for some reason, these higher doses might serve to prevent cancer.
