[cancercured] Re: One way to treat cancer???

The point is that X-ray exposure, no matter how minute, is dangerous.
It causes damage to cellular DNA and its effects are accumulative.
The late Dr. John Gofman in his classic work 'Preventing Breast
Cancer: The Story of a Major, Proven, Preventable Cause of this
Disease.' Dr. Gofman was the World's foremost authority on the
effects of radiation and cancer development. He was instrumental in
stopping government programs that were scanning children for TB using
dangerous chest X-rays mid last century. He belived that the epidemic
of breast cancer today is caused by prior X-ray exposure. The earlier
the exposure in life, the greater the chances of developing cancer
later on.

The risk to reward ratio does not justify prophylactic X-ray for any
reason. I would refuse them and stand my ground. Also these screening
machines at airports are a very bad idea.
