| "Still, the Ultrafast CT scan, an offshoot of computerized x-ray machines that allow doctors to peer inside brains, is gaining favor in dozens of advanced cardio-screening centers in the US. Briefly, it allows doctors to check for calcium deposits in key coronary arteries. This indicates atherosclerosis, or blockages, that may need attention. (While calcium is good for teeth and bones, it doesn't belong inside coronary arteries.) Ultrafast CT scans provide nearly as much information to cardiologists as angiograms, which are invasive and require half a day's hospital stay." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.) |
 "So doctors buy kits to test blood, various pieces of fiber-optic equipment (sigmoidoscopes, colposcopes), treadmills, ultrasound units, and x-ray machines. And if they've got them, they tend to use them.
The opposite problem also exists: some doctors have a financial interest in not doing tests. The payment arrangement in some for-profit physician networks includes a so-called credit for primary care doctors whose referral rates for imaging tests (and specialists) are lower than average. Understandably, such an arrangement has received a lot of publicity and been severely criticized."- H. Gilbert Welch M.D. M.P.H., Should I Be Tested for Cancer? Maybe Not and Here's Why (Get the book.) |
 "Marie's medical research leading to the development of practical x-ray machines was facilitated by the development of sensitive piezoelectric measurement devices by her husband. Pierre and Marie Curie received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1903 for their work. Marie also later received a second Nobel Prize, in 1911, becoming the first person to win or share two Nobel prizes.
The First World War saw the first large-scale application of piezoelectricity, with the development of sonar."- Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.) |
 "Semelka, MD, says patients receiving multiple CT scans today are being exposed to doses of radiation comparable to those given off by the x-ray machines used in the 1930s and 1940s. Cancers do not emanate from x-rays till years later. This makes it difficult to attribute radiation exposure to the onset of cancer. [The Lancet 367: 1712-14, 2006]
In 1976, Drs. Irwin Bross and Leslie Blumenson of Buffalo's Roswell Park Memorial Laboratory estimated that, based on radiation dosage exposure, twice as many deaths as cures could result from mammographic screenings of mostly healthy women."- Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.) |
 "In Paris, London and New York, x-ray machines popped up at public demonstrations, as fashionable party entertainment and in the chicest clinics.16 A small museum at the headquarters of Genzo Shimadzu in Kyoto, Japan, displays x-ray images that were produced in October 1896, just ten months after Rontgen circulated his report.
As the twentieth century dawned, things that had once occupied the fantasies of lonely laboratory investigators were changing the way the world ran and looked. Electricity, motor cars, telephones and light-bulbs transformed the scale and scope of time and space."- Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.) |
 "Computers, x-ray machines and other electronic apparatus should be situated well away from the test zone (or at least switched off), making certain there is no interference from equipment in adjacent rooms or even above and below the test room. Electromagnetic fields travel through walls. Even electrical cables give off a substantial magnetic field, and for normal household and commercial voltages the patient must be seated at least 70 cm (2 feet 4 inches) from the nearest power source and at least 1.5 metres (5 feet) from any fluorescent lighting."- Keith Scott-Mumby, Virtual Medicine: A New Dimension in Energy Healing (Get the book.) |
