@Neil1808 @BlahBlah Um, have they been tested for DNA damage? Studied for cancers and cell mutations? Also, maybe you didn't get the memo but #nuclear #hormesis has been disproven.

#Radiation is good for you? The fringe viewpoint gains ground in the Trump administration

by Patrick Malone February 27, 2019

"These assertions [of #Radiation #Hormesis"] stand scientific consensus on its head. Most experts say to the contrary that even low doses of radiation cause cell damage that years later can promote uncontrolled cell growth and replication, and that children and fetuses are particularly susceptible to harm. That seven-decade-old view was reaffirmed as recently as last April [2018] in a study by a congressionally chartered nonprofit organization, the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement.

"The study, overseen by a dozen experts from the government, academia, and industry, and funded by the NRC, considered 29 contemporary scientific studies of the effects of low-dose radiation in reaffirming that even low-level radiation should be avoided to the extent possible.

"'There is clear evidence of excess risks for many cancer types, such as bladder, breast, colon, stomach and lung,' from exposure to excess radiation, the report said. It acknowledged that at lower doses the relationship is less certain, but noted that several long studies of medical outcomes for tuberculosis patients given x-ray imaging known as fluoroscopy collectively showed “a straight-line relationship between breast tissue [radiation] dose and breast cancer, adding substantial weight to the judgment on the use of the [existing] model for radiation protection.'

"It added that 'there was no conclusive evidence' to refute the linear, or direct cause and effect, 'relationship for many of the risks attributable to low-level ionizing radiation' – essentially endorsing the mainstream insistence on low-dose protections as a prudent, cautionary measure. The NRC members will consider the report as they deliberate about the SARI members’ petition, McIntyre said."

@fourmiune Oh, and of course, radium water before that. The heath benefits are just as flawed as the #nuclear #hormesis theory!

"In 1898, Marie and Pierre Curie made a huge discovery. While studying uraninte, a radioactive mineral high in uranium and ore, they managed to separate out several components. They eventually isolated radium itself and announced the find to the world. The scientific community was elated. This strange element didn’t follow the laws of physics. People immediately hoped to find a medicinal purpose for radium. An experiment in 1911 on horses raised the possibility that radium had anti-aging properties. In 1913, newspaper announced the creation of 'radium water,' which was brewed by pouring water into a container with radium.

"Once this water was released to the public, it took off. RadiThor was especially popular in the 1920’s, when people could buy a 1-ounce bottle for $1. Now, that’s over $15, but customers were eager to reap the proclaimed health benefits. Doctors started prescribing it for everything from high blood pressure to arthritis to sexual impotence. It remained popular for years and radium started appearing in other products. You could even find #toothpaste made from #radium and #thorium. The creator reasoned that since radium glowed in the dark, it could make one’s teeth shine, too. The element even ended up in #chocolate and #bread. Why were people so happy to ingest something we know now is so toxic?

"For one thing, people weren’t totally ignorant about radium’s dangers. In plants where the substance was handled, workers knew to wear lead aprons and other safety equipment, but that was pure radium. The amount of radium in products like Radium Water was very small. Also, when ingested, radium can initially cause the appearance of better health thanks to its stimulation of red blood cells. However, as people would soon realize, even a teeny-tiny amount of radium could do incredible damage over time..."

Anyone interested in their health, quality of life and prolonging their death could benefit from understanding about Hormesis as it relates to fasting. It has been shown in laboratory animals that excessive caloric intake promotes disease and shortens life. Reducing caloric intake by fasting reduces exposure to chronic diseases and lengthens the life span. Most people I have talked with seem to think the exact opposite. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2253665/ #fasting #waterfast #health #hormesis #nutrition
