[ RadSafe ] Re: Radiation deficiency remediation

[howard long]

My 3, 40 lb sacks of KCL for water softener ($9 each) give only a doubling of background radiation (0.030mrad/hr) on contact. I have given KCL up as an added source of radiation, although about as much comes to most of us from the KCL already in our bodies as usual USA coast background, according to Luckey's book.

Again, you are assuming that additional radiation
would have a beneficial effect. KCl helps to reduce
sodium in the body, which lowers blood pressure. High
blood pressure is a greater health risk to the average
human than too little radiation, which is ill defined
to say the least.
