I think it's safe to say that radiation hormesis remains very much in <A HREF="http://www.gfstrahlenschutz.de/docs/hormeng2.pdf" REL="nofollow">dispute</A>.<BR/><BR/>That's a separate issue, though. The point remains that this is an example of shoddy journalism: its reference to "beneficial effects" should've come with some example or explanation.Philahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849261651028725772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695598.post-1152996246485992322006-07-15T13:44:00.000-07:002006-07-15T13:44:00.000-07:00This is the kind of thing they are talking about. ...<A HREF="http://www.innovations-report.com/html/reports/medicine_health/report-39005.html" REL="nofollow">This is the kind of thing they are talking about</A>.

As someone just having completed radiation ablation treament, I can assure you that even the beneficial aspects of radiation have strong adverse effects.<BR/><BR/>I may simply have the temporary version of salivary gland damage and tastebud malfunction, but about 30% of patients who start out with what I have experience recurrent problems for the rest of their lives. A much smaller percentage have chronic problems.<BR/><BR/>And then there's the dry eye caused by damage to lachrymal glands. Or intestinal lining damage.<BR/><BR/>Oh, yeah, really, really not so bad.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of using radiation for medical treatment, Roger Ebert has salivary gland cancer due to treatments with radiation given to him as a small child (forgot illness, but it was not uncommon. Sinusitus used to be treated with radiation, also, until all those pesky less beneficial effects showed up.).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695598.post-1152835150522390992006-07-13T16:59:00.000-07:002006-07-13T16:59:00.000-07:00Oh, Jeebus.We're living in insane times..Oh, Jeebus.<BR/><BR/>We're living in insane times.<BR/><BR/><BR/>.spork_incidenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03915784234390595401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695598.post-1152832745677053652006-07-13T16:19:00.000-07:002006-07-13T16:19:00.000-07:00Radiation = Mutation.Mutation = Evolution.Evolutio...Radiation = Mutation.<BR/><BR/>Mutation = Evolution.<BR/><BR/>Evolution = Good.<BR/><BR/><BR/>See, it's not so bad at all!
