Potassium K-40 One of the Least Harmful Radio-Isotopes and Bacterial Growth

NUKE PRO: Exposing Truth Anti-Nuclear Information and Resources, and Disaster Preparation Planning: http://nukeprofessional.blogspot.com/ Just a quick article here.   I will expand on it, but I didn’t want to lose this link to the study.

http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.3109/09553002.2015.1062571 

They did a quick study at WIPP, I think it was only 2 days.     They wanted to grow bacteria in a low radiation place and use that to try to “throw out” LNT Linear No Threshold radiation limits so the nuclear cartel can be even sloppier than they are now.

The link above is the complete study, and it is for free.   I may pose a question or two to the authors.

Now the Medical Industry is Pushing Radioactive Lead as Medical Treatment
stock here: Doesn’t this seem a bit on the medieval side?

Just because we can, doesn’t mean we should.   Lead itself is horrible for humans, then make it an Alpha radiation emitter.   

I think their mantra and legal requirement to “do no harm” is not being met.

They pimp this out as “little damage to adjacent tissues because it is an Alpha emitter”
But they fail to point out that both of its daughter products are strong Beta emitters, which require special shielding during production and  operation….but no problem with putting it inside someones body.    Sheesh, the mind boggles.
