"Hormesis proceeds from low radiation exposure, not high."

I am trying to understand the range of benefits versus the harmful effects from both natural radiation from rock and man-made radiation from nuclear power plants and TSA airport scanners.  I recently went through a TSA airport scanner and had problems; in fact, I've been having problems ever since December 10, 2011 when I went through the scanner.  I've had spasms in my left ankle, spasms that vibrate or pulse deep within the bone.  The vibrations occurred a couple of times on 2 consecutive days.  After that I felt as though my body had resolved any kind of genetic mutation that the TSA scanner might have caused.  Then I wake up at  3am this morning with my head throbbing and pulling as though I can feel tissue being drawn outward, away from my brain.  My heart was racing and both my legs felt heavy and pulsing.  It's that pulsing that bothers me.  That tells me that there is a disruption in the genetic messaging, that something has pierced the genetic code of my body and I am no longer in control.  That's scary.  I have some apricot seeds or bitter almonds in my refrigerator and I ate a handful of those.  They seemed to calm my symptoms, that and a bottle of Italian mineral water.  It was only as I was drinking the water did I realize that I was a little dehydrated.  I flew to Shanghai, China with a one-night lay-over in Tokyo.  I don't how much radiation is present in Tokyo either.  Early reports coming after the Fukushima plant disaster told of bad news in Tokyo. 

I wanted to know more about the TSA radiation, so I Googled it and found an Alex Jones article titled "Government Ignored 1998 Report Finding Up to 100 Cancer Deaths from TSA Naked Body Scanners Per Year."  Clearly the government knew about it, was informed of the dangers and risk of death from it, yet altered nothing.  That's typical.  Government is a dead-end in terms of accountability.  It's a bureaucracy, and bureaucracies serve only themselves.  What would you expect.  But I would like to know what kind of radiation I was blasted with at LAX, how much, and what some antidotes are.  B-17 does seem to help.  The symptoms I've described above have slightly abated.  I contacted Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski's office this morning via email.  I should check to see if he or anyone from his office has replied.  I sent the message at 4 this morning.

Radiation confuses me.  How much and of what kind does one actually benefit from it as we are supposed to according Art Robinson's understanding of hormesis? 

A good site to review the Trade Winds that are carrying the radiation from Japan's Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.  It also discusses the benefits of iodine, the best type, the best amount, and other remedies. Stay well.

An important question to ask is "Is any level of radiation harmful?"  Also, "Is there any level of radiation that is actually good for us?"  Tom Bethell's article in the American Spectator cites Art Robinson's claims that low-level radiation is beneficial.  Dr. Donald W. Miller, a cardiologist, also asserts actual healthy benefits from low-levels of radiation called hormesis.

Have to admit, I loved this interview where the Maddam gets tongue-tied when Robinson indicts her game.  Love it when she rolls her eyes to make her guest look bad.  She also talks over Robinson.  She runs media hit pieces.

Remedies for Radiation Over-Exposure.

UPDATE, OCTOBER 21, 2016:
On Hormesis, this just stunned me.

Among those who choose to be aware of the past half-century's research, this concept is revolutionizing health physics.^11,12

1. "Fruit flies exposed to high levels of radiation experience many mutations. But if first exposed to low-level radiation, fruit flies experience far fewer mutations when later hit by high radiation."¹³

2. "Human lymphocyte cells previously exposed to low level radiation suffer fewer chromatid breaks when later exposed to large radiation doses. And this effect has been traced to production of repair enzymes stimulated by the low level radiation."¹⁴

3. Dr. Bernard Cohen provides many further examples that demonstrate the strong healing response stimulated by low-dose radiation.¹⁵

4. Researchers were surprised to find an inverse correlation of lung cancer to second-hand smoking, inhaling smoke of others. More smoke, less lung cancer.¹⁶The nearest I have seen to confirmation of this politically incorrect discovery: A study in BMJ by epidemiologist James Enstrom and Geoffrey C. Kabat of SUNY reported no significant increase among nonsmokers who lived for decades with smoking spouses, in coronary heart disease, lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Other studies have disagreed.¹⁷

5. Some animal data indicate that pre-exposure to low fluorine concentrations may provide some resistance to the lethal effects of fluorine in fluoridated drinking water.¹⁸

6. Giving Beagle dogs ten parts per million of DDT in their diet improved their health.^19-21

7. On April 26, 1986, the No. 4 reactor at the Chernobyl power station exploded. About 4,400 people in Ukraine "succumbed to radiation-related diseases contracted after taking part in the cleanup effort." High levels of radiation constantly spewed out of the disintegrating plant, exposing all who worked outdoors nearby.²² What happened at Chernobyl was not at all a contradiction of hormesis. Remember Hanford. Hormesis proceeds from low radiation exposure, not high.

Got Salt?

With the advent of refrigeration, our salt consumption gradually reduced through the years.  Since salt up to the time of refrigeration the main way that we preserved food was with the use of salt.  In fact, it is interesting to note that prisoners of war, even on their meager and undernourished diets had on average 20 to 28 grams of salt per day.  Not prisoners of war, today Americans consume on average far less than the 20 to 28 grams.

Sally Fallon Challenges The Zone Diet

by Sally Fallon

Sears’ first book, The Zone, promises us that everything will be just wonderful in our lives if simply learn to keep a strict balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat in our meals. The lipid hypothesis was wrong, he says and fat is OK–but then comes the bad news.

We’re not supposed to eat saturated fat, or fats containing arachidonic acid–which eliminates delicious and nutritious foods like butter, whole cheeses, egg yolks, meat fat and organ meats–leaving the Zone diet eerily similar to the American Heart Associations “prudent diet” of lean meat, low-fat concoctions and vegetable oils. The only real difference is that Sears has replaced corn oil with olive oil.

Mastering the Zone offers a range of recipes that allow you to enter the hallowed circle of macronutrient balance–but a quick perusal reveals that there is even less fat–or rather oil–in the Zone recipes than can be found in many “heart healthy” recipes books endorsed by the AHA. Dinner entree recipes call for only 2 2/3 teaspoons of olive oil and that’s for two people!

Skim milk cheeses, low fat yogurt, egg whites (but not the yolks), soybean imitation products, and protein powders feature large in Mastering the Zone as aids on the road to Nirvana.

If you have trouble figuring out the exact proportions of fat, protein and carbohydrates you need to get yourself into Zone heaven, you can order specially-balanced Zone bars by calling a toll free number. Principal ingredients include fructose syrup, soy protein isolate, honey, calcium caseinate (Elmer’s glue), corn syrup and sugar.

SATURATED FAT: IMPORTANT FOR YOUR GOOD HEALTH

DON'T EAT CRISCO; EAT LARD

WHAT IS CRISCO?

One reader writes that "Crisco is Hydrogenated, 'stabilized' Vegetable-Based, room-temperature-solidifying Grease...used in Baking and Cooking, and is ideal for solidifying/hardening in the Arteries of its hapless victims."

Another reader writes that Crisco is "the white greasy stuff used for making pie crusts along with the flour and other dry ingredients."

Wikipedia says that "Crisco is a brand of shortening produced by The J.M. Smucker Company popular in the United States. Introduced in June 1911[1] by Procter & Gamble, it was the first shortening to be made entirely of vegetable oil. 

What Crisco is not is that it's not lard.  Do not confuse the two.  Proctor & Gamble deliberately made Crisco look like and feel like lard, to even taste like lard, nay, even better.  But Crisco is horrible for your overall health.  Lard, on the other hand, is excellent for your health.  

EAT LARD; IGNORE CRISCO

HISTORY ON CRISCO

Donald W. Miller, M. D., writes that 

"A hundred years ago, before Americans changed their diet and the calamitous events of the 20th century began, heart disease was far less common that it is now. Few Americans were overweight, and coronary heart disease was not yet recognized as an illness. Pneumonia, diarrhea and enteritis, and tuberculosis were the three most common causes of death, whereas coronary heart disease is now the most common cause of death in the United States. The medical subspecialty of cardiology was created in 1940. Since then the number of cardiologists in the U.S. has grown from 500 in 1950 to 30,000 now – a 60-fold increase.

In 1911 Procter and Gamble (P&G) introduced Crisco, used for making candles and soap, as a new kind of food. Sold as an all-vegetable shortening, the company advertised that it was “a healthier alternative to cooking with animal fats.” Rather than use animal fats like lard (pork fat), tallow (beef and lamb fat), and butter for baking and cooking food, which Americans then did, P&G mounted a campaign to convince them to use Crisco instead. The company published a free cookbook with 615 recipes (from pound cake to lobster bisque), all of which required Crisco. They made it by using a newly invented process that insufflates hydrogen into vegetable oil (in this case, cottonseed oil), which gives it a solid texture resembling lard, and with yellow bleach, mimics butter. (The name Crisco is derived from CRYStalized Cottonseed Oil.) Trans fats were born. With Crisco successfully marketed as a food, this partially hydrogenated, unnatural vegetable-oil began to replace natural saturated animal fats and tropical oils in the American diet. (For more on how Procter and Gamble successfully demonized lard, see HERE.)"
