Thanks for posting this. Food for thought.

Have had radiation treatments. When a couple of years ago I declined to have annual dental x-rays, my dentist told me I was no patient of HERS if I didn’t have them. I agreed and found a new dentist.

Dental x-rays: Yup that’s on the “be careful” list. My long time dentist has a note in my file to have a really good reason to do an X-ray. I’ve never had any kind of radiation treatments, well except for looking at my feet in a fluoroscope once a way long time ago, but as on old nuke worker I’ve always been mindful to avoid un-necessary exposure.

Remember the Old Radar Ranges, the first microwave ovens? From the 1950’s. The folks I’ve run across that had those things wound up with brain tumors later in life. They leaked microwaves at a stoopid level and got themselves super regulated fairly early on. I remember a diabetic guy who kept a Hershey bar in his shirt pocket. It kept getting soft. He finally figgered out he was working to close to the microwaves.
