> WASHINGTON DC
> The Stimulation of Biological Functions
> Cures Infections, Reduces Cancer, and Increases Longevity

> The Symposium will be at the Washington Hilton, 1919 Connecticut
> Ave. (about a mile from the Marriott Wardman Park).
> Transportation will be provided from the Marriott.  Please
> confirm your attendance, or recommend other attendees by Nov. 9,
> 2000 to provide attendance to the hotel for seating and lunch
> count.  Let us know if you also want to join us for dinner, as a
> separate function.  A Workshop on Thursday Nov. 16 and Friday
> Nov 17 will address the status of current scientific knowledge
> as it applies to taking specific actions in medical practice and
> research, including clinical trials; and actions to inform
> relevant science, policy, medical, and media organizations to
> achieve support.

> Successful clinical trials of low dose

> Hormesis (Greek HORMO = I excite) is the stimulation of any
> system by low doses of any agent. Hormology is the study of
> excitation. Low doses of many agents evoke a biopositive effect
> ; large doses produce a bionegative effect. The message is
> simple : small and large doses induce opposite physiologic
> results.

> "None of the predictions of the LNT hypothesis, as it applies to
> cancer risk from low or chronic doses of low LET radiation, are
> supported by the above data in human or rodent cells. The
> limited data in animals also indicates that the observed
> responses are not consistent with the hypothesis. The protective
> responses observed in mammalian cells and in animals are
> consistent with those seen in lower eukaryotes, including yeast,
> indicating that they are evolutionarily conserved (14) and
> lending credence to the idea that such responses are the normal
> and expected consequences of low dose exposures." See selected
> results and conclusions here; and link to the full paper

> In response to several requests for the RSH comments to EPA, see

>  Documents." Note also that comments by Bob Rowland, former
> Director of the Center for Human Radiobiology at Argonne,
> responsible for the health effects studies of the radium
> body-burden population (primarily the radium dial painters).  He
> strongly refutes the presumption by EPA that radium in water
> could be a health hazard.
