You are having doctor visit. No real problems other than the usual aches, pains, gurgles and burps. After poking and pushing here and there the doctor says " Well to be sure there is nothing wrong let's do a CT scan." [your Medicare or health insurance will cover it] What do you say? Do you agree to have the test?
After all it's non-invasive and all that is required is for you to lay down on the sled and
the machine moves you into the tunnel, there is a lot of machinery noise, banging and groaning, you are moved out of the tunnel and you are finished, what's the big deal?
The big deal is that 15,000 people are known to have died per year from CT scans.
It is believed that 29,000 cancers each year are attributed to CT scans and perhaps many more since the manifestation of radiation damage is delayed sometimes up to 10 years.
The CT scan is fairly new technology based upon much older technology the X-ray.
The scan consists of collecting X-ray energies and composing them into images of
organs inside the body. How much of this radiation can you receive without harm? This is still being debated and is definitely not absolutely known . Several scientists maintain that any radiation is harmful and dangerous. Radiation affects the body at the sub-cellular level, attacking and modifying the DNA genetic codes.
Radiation is cumulative, it builds upon it's self. The more you receive from all exposures, the higher the risk. Unfortunately the CT Scans are getting to be as ubiquitous as X-rays in the dentist chair, or annual chest X-rays. Over 70 million will be performed this year.
Now the TSA wants to do full body scans at the airports. Exposing us to a different , but just as deadly radiation. Dr. John Gofman of the U of Cal , believes that 50%
of all cancers come from medical tests. Now they want to microwave us each time we fly.
What with cell phone, microwave transmissions , mw ovens and natural radiation
we have a ticking time bomb situation.
With Love and Kindness,
THE HATMAN
