Some
things are hard to believe. What you've been told about low-level
radiation by the people who are supposed to be responsible authorities
is very wrong. The evidence that the official story is wrong is
overwhelming. They know about the evidence. Yet because they have a
vested interest in being wrong, they willfully keep being wrong. There
is massive evidence that low levels of radiation rather than causing
cancer, actually suppress cancer. The reason is, probably, that
radiation in small or moderate quantities stimulates cellular repair
mechanisms. This is not to negate the fact that large amounts of
radiation can kill you or make you sick. This protective effect of low
levels of radiation is called radiation hormesis.
The case of radiation hormesis provides yet more evidence that the scientific establishment and the EPA are lacking in objectivity when their interests are at stake. They cling to scare stories like leeches. Be it ionizing radiation or global warming they will not admit that they were wrong, at least if they can avoid it.
Our bodies are bombarded with ionizing radiation because it is everywhere. Radiation is ionizing if the rays or particles have sufficient energy to rip electrons from atoms, a feat that can disrupt biochemical systems. Ionizing radiation comes in the form of cosmic rays, radioactive minerals and even potassium 40, the radioactive isotope of potassium that is always in our bodies and lurking everyplace where potassium is found. The particles and rays from radioactive decay rip through our cells leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Our bodies have powerful mechanisms evolved over millions of years to deal with the destruction caused by radiation.
