SECOND TRY -- RE: Limited radiation exposure may actually benefithealth

[John Jacobus <crispy_bird@YAHOO.COM>]

Jim, 

As noted below, I asked last week for epidemiologiists

who supported your challenge of the NSWS.  I have not

heard from you.  



If no epidemiologists support an opposing view of the

NSWS, does this indicate those did reviewed the data

drew the same conclusion?  Do you think it could be

that all the epidemiologist met and decided not to

allow any dissent of this reports conclusion?



By the way, I found a review of the study: "Study of

health effects of low-level radiation in USA nuclear

shipyard workers," Boice J Jr.

J Radiol Prot. 2001 Dec;21(4):400-3.  Let me know if

anyone is interested in a copy of it.  Obviously, the

review was written by a conspirator.



Also, in case you need to refer anyone to the study, I

found a Web site for it:
