Atomic bomb health benefits
No full textMedia reports of deaths and devastation produced by atomic bombs convinced people around the world that all ionizing radiation is harmful. This concentrated attention on fear of miniscule doses of radiation. Soon the linear no threshold (LNT) paradigm was converted into laws. Scientifically valid information about the health benefits from low dose irradiation was ignored. Here are studies which show increased health in Japanese survivors of atomic bombs. Parameters include decreased mutation, leukemia and solid tissue cancer mortality rates, and increased average lifespan. Each study exhibits a threshold that repudiates the LNT dogma. The average threshold for acute exposures to atomic bombs is about 100 cSv. Conclusions from these studies of atomic bomb survivors are: • One burst of low dose irradiation elicits a lifetime of improved health. • Improved health from low dose irradiation negates the LNT paradigm. • Effective triage should include radiation hormesis for survivor treatment

Radiation hormesis: Good, Bad, and Ugly
No full textThree aspects of hormesis with low doses of ionizing radiation are presented: the good, the bad, and the ugly. The good is acceptance by France, Japan, and China of the thousands of studies showing stimulation and/or benefit, with no harm, from low dose irradiation. This includes thousands of people who live in good health with high background radiation. The bad is the nonacceptance of radiation hormesis by the U. S. and most other governments; their linear no threshold (LNT) concept promulgates fear of all radiation and produces laws which have no basis in mammalian physiology. The LNT concept leads to poor health, unreasonable medicine and oppressed industries. The ugly is decades of deception by medical and radiation committees which refuse to consider valid evidence of radiation hormesis in cancer, other diseases, and health. Specific examples are provided for the good, the bad, and the ugly in radiation hormesis

No full textThe purpose of this project was to develop guidelines for lay volunteers in a reading improvement program. This was accomplished through research, visiting schools which had reading laboratories and obtaining information from the City o£ Los Angeles, State of California, and from the P.T.A. as to their volunteer programs. The author then set up a reading improvement program in her own school. (See more in text)Includes bibliographical references (pages 85-88)California State University, Northridge.
