     So where do I apply for a grant to do further research?  I've always 
     had to fund my own, in hopes that some benficial effects would 
     eventually be discovered...at least it sounds like it wasn't money 
     down the drain!  (I wonder if different brands of beer could be made 
     isotope specific?)

New Bulgarian Beer Reportedly Effective Against Radiation 
     
 Source: Xinhua 
     
 Xinhua via Individual Inc. : SOFIA (July 20) XINHUA - A prominent
Bulgarian brewing
 expert has reportedly come up with a new formula for beer against harmful
radiational
 effects on humans.
     
 Yordan Platikanov, the inventor, devised the formula for the Lomsko Pivo
Brewery of
 Lom, in northwestern Bulgaria, the Bulgarian newspaper Troud reported today.
     
 Made of herb and mineral water, the new type of beer could neutralize the
content of
 strontium and uranium 134 left by radiation in the human body, said the
report.
     
 The research on the beer, which is alcohol-free, was funded by Bulgaria's
defense and
 health ministries, and the final product could be for workers at nuclear
power plants.
