Thanks for the education, Marshall. Bottom line for me: whenever
possible, I will seek out the skills of a physician trained in medical
kinesiology, particularly Omura's methods.

I believe they use an isotope of tecknesium (sp?). When atoms of this
isotope decay they produce a positron, which finds an electron and they
annilate each other. An electron and a positron both contain 511 MeV
of rest
mass energy, so they will produce two gamma rays of 511 MeV that are
directed
almost exactly directly away from each other. Sodium Iodide
scintillating
material surrounds the patient, and then multiple phototubes look at
the
sodium iodide. The configuration is such that the gamma is absorbed
by the
sodium iodide, which produces a flash of light, and the phototubes
record the
light and send the pulse to some pulse analysis hardware and computer.
The
pulse analysis determines exactly where in the sodium iodide the flash
occured, and with two flashes on opposite sides, the computer figures
out a
straight line between the two, where the original source of the
positron will
be on this line. When another one occurs, if it occurs at the same
spot, a
second line will be computed that will intersect the first line, and
that
will be the spot that the activity is coming from. By analyzing tens
of
thousands of lines, the computer can come up with a pretty good 3 d
view of
where all the activity is.
It is not the positron that causes damage to material, after all the
loss of
an electron is rather non consequential. It is the 511 MeV gamma
rays, which
is an extremely hard x-ray, like cosmic rays. that can cause damage if
absorbed before they get out of the body.

I admit that I do not understand the properties of positrons, though
of course I understand they are not x-rays. As to whether or not
they have detrimental health effects, I am not sure. The article I
read cited in particular x-rays and CAT scans; Japan has ordered an
astounding number of CAT machines from the USA, and may have the
most
machines of any country per capita.

In Japan, health researchers recently announced that at least three
percent of all cancers are directly due to excessive use of x-rays
and
other invasive electromagnetic diagnostic tests such as CAT and PET
scans. Yes, that is three out 100 patients with cancer got that
way
from their own doctors.
The only good thing you can say is that at least the facts finally
came
out.
I was not surprised by the report. I was once quite ill with
mycoplasmic pneumonia in this country, and the various doctors gave
me
at least a dozen x-rays -- in the first case, identical x-rays taken
by
two different facilities within 24 hours -- before I was well
enough
to get away from them. I was too ill to protest for a while
there.
Every year teachers are supposed to take an x-ray as a condition of
employment. Every year I do not, and if pushed to the wall will do
battle. I can not be sure about the utility of mammograms, but I
believe that non-invasive methods, such as Omura's BDORT, are
likely
to be proven superior in the long run.

I know this has probably been discussed here before but I need
to
know. Does taking silver affect you in any way while having an
x-ray? I have a mammogram coming up and was just concerned
about
it. Have been taking cs for over a year now.
