I have read a lot of her "publications" - most of them seem
based on "correlations" ("AIDS started in Africa where the uranium
ores are and spread most in the U.S. where most atomic bomb
were tested" was one bottom line. Another one correlated the
overweight of Americans with the iodine fallout in the U.S.,
and then all health physicists, IAEA, ICRP and similar groups
of people seem to be a bunch of military officials, generals
or whatever, spreading "bullets" (alphas, betas and gammas)
all over the place). There was a lot of massmedial fallout
from her in Sweden around 1986-87 - sometimes full pages
in various large newspapers. Very suggestive reading...
