Growing summaries of the
science data on low dose radiation health effects.
Consistent non-linear, biphasic, effects: Radiation hormesis.
Molecular biological responses and physiological effects are different
at low vs. high doses.
Contributions from the many independent, knowledgeable, scientists.
Hormesis data that are not applied (suppressed) by radiation protection interests.

Cancer is an accumulation
of failure of repair,
by Jim Muckerheide, August 14,
1998,
muckerheide@comcast.net
The New York Times reports on a paper in the Aug 15 Science
magazine. "When BRCA1 is defective, it
is unable to repair oxidative DNA damage, the most
common insult to the genetic material of cells throughout
the body... An accumulation of genetic damage to the
DNA is how overexposure to sunlight can cause skin
cancer and an overdose of radiation from X-rays can
cause cancer in internal tissues like the thyroid
gland. When oxidative damage occurs in genes that
determine cell growth and when the mechanism that
normally repairs such damage fails to work properly,
the cell is no longer able to keep its growth in check
and a malignant tumor results."
The evidence of large oxidative DNA damage and repair compared
to radiation, and the role of failed or overwhelmed
repair mechanisms as the cause of cancer, continues
to dramatically accumulate, contradicting the biological
basis for the 'linear model'.
