Re: If you do Science, use the Scientific Method!

Are you SURE you are getting optimal "vitamin X ray" dosage, Bill? 

If this is anyone's "hypothesis", John Cameron should be credited.



Taiwan apartment cancer rate, mountain and NSWS longevity, etc suggest you do not.

It took many years to get folic acid deficiency recognized as the cause of half of all neurological defects. What if your assumption results in harm, like that? Is that prudent? To wait for concensus, instead of making your own scientific judgement of the data, is lazy.



People trust you. Investigate! Look at the studies accumulated by jmuckerheide@cnts.wpi.edu

  I'm sure that there will always be enough background radiation to provide me with my "essential trace energy," whether I want it or not. 

  I welcome  your ideas.  IMHO, you have presented a hypothesis which is worthy of further investigation.  Nevertheless, you are obviously an advocate for this hypothesis.  Until more information is available, standards should be set by consensus, not by advocates; or, as a minimum, by a balance of advocates. 



  Until your hypothesis is accepted as a consensus, I'll avoid extra radiation exposure.  You are welcome to obtain as much additional "essential trace energy" as you want, as long as it's not on my license. 



  The opinions expressed are strictly mine. 

  It's not about dose, it's about trust. 

  Curies forever.

    Bill,LNT CANNOT be "The best we have", if (as now is abundantly clear)ionizing radiation at higher energies (wave lengths) is an essential trace energy (like a vitamin or sunshine). Overenthusiastic cleaning of a substance or energy that is damaging in high amounts but essential in small amounts can also be damaging. You are then DEPRIVING.  Clear? Dose IS the problem, denied by your standard end-note.We TRUST you to preserve the needed dose, as well as to remove overdose.You are NOT conservative, or prudent,  unless you change to this greater security.
