Preventing Glaucoma with Radiation

[rambone]

Gather round, fellas!

Free Glaucoma Treatments!

Good for a lifetime, or your money back.

Isn't it grand? Our friend radiation can be used as a weapon or as a tool to protect the young. It's like a gun or something.

Are you telling me that some things, when utilized in different manners, can be good OR bad? That you have to study it and weigh the risks and benefits and make a decision for yourself?

This is groundbreaking!

Except when it comes to chemo and radiation. treatments. They kill everyone

If you find an example of anyone saying they 'kill everyone', please provide it so that your mocking might actually make sense.

Wow! That's rich.

You make a baseless claim with an insult intended to mock and ignore the same requests to provide proof of the claim, and not 2 minutes later are asking the same thing of someone else.

I don't recall making any baseless claims or seeing any requests to provide proof of anything.

I'm still trying to figure out what I am supposed to be backing up too.

Let's start a fund so we can send all the radiation lovers to go sight-seeing in Fukushima.

RAMBONE in the child chemo thread: " chemo kills".
Amazing you didn't question him.
Fellow travelers......

"chemo kills" = true
"chemo kills everyone" = false

even Rambone will agree with this.

I understand the concept of homeostasis theory, it's just that the concept is .
Evidentiary claims require evidentiary evidence. Prove it.
I can prove, as can anyone, that too much ultraviolet radiation is bad for you. As is ionizing radiation, hence the need for an atmosphere so cosmic and gamma rays don't destroy our soft, weak tissues and organs.

Prove it. Grandiose wishful thinking aside, please prove that radiation is helpful and safe for human beings at any threshold. Or, even easier to do, prove that any level above background is helpful or safe or beneficial to human beings in general. If this is patently true, this merely requires some simple scientific experiments. Prove it.

This is interesting. I still think ALARA is valid for the general public but here's some work done. Its a PDF file from the Society for Scientific Exploration.

Try again he hasn't.

I never said chemo kills everyone. The chemo survivor in my life got me started on alternative medicine.

I bet the population surrounding Chernobyl had strikingly low rates of glaucoma.

this article would sure make you think so.

"Epidemiologists who followed Japanese survivors of the atomic bombings in World War II had noticed that exposure to radiation increased the incidence of thyroid and other cancers but seemed to provide protection against glaucoma."

Radiation is pretty sweet for particular uses, such as the Gamma Knife

http://www.pennmedicine.org/neuro/gammaknife/work.html
How Does the Gamma Knife Work?


The Gamma Knife delivers 201 beams of extremely focused radiation to a precise target in the brain. Individually, the beams are too weak to damage healthy tissue. Together, they converge to deliver powerful treatment to a single point.

[Kirk Freeman]

I watched the gamma knife surgery and at no point did the patient turn into the Hulk. When does this occur?

I think we as Naturalologists trained by the finest televison has to offer know a little something about Gamma radiation and how it increases the ability of the body to retain pants.

After extensive research into the dubious anecdotes of 'drowning' victims, I have cleverly deduced that water is safe, has many uses and is actually quite good for us.

Those anecdotes are technically told by "near-drowning" people...
