"The average radiation dose for medical x-rays is 300-500 millirads for pelvic x-rays, 10-500 millirads for chest x-rays, and 100 to 1000 millirads to the face for a full set of dental x-rays. Dr. Gofman, in his book x-rays Health Effects of Common Examinations, estimates that more than 45,000 fatal cancers are induced yearly by x-rays. The data are overwhelming that nuclear energy plants, nuclear arms production, irradiation plants for medical instruments and food, and the excessive use of x-rays all constitute a tremendous threat to the health and safety of the human population." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Conscious Eating (Get the book.)

"If your doctor says x-rays are necessary, that's another thing. But x-rays do have a downside. Too many raise the risk of endothelial or DNA damage, chronic inflammation, and cancer, whether it's mammograms, dental x-rays, CT scans, or cardiology angiograms. Multiple angiograms on a patient may promote disease progression. No research shows this, but we tread very conservatively on this issue. Radiation abounds in our present-day environment. Radiation damage accumulates and doesn't disappear from your body." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Medical x-rays used at the dentist to see teeth root health, x-rays used by physicians to investigate bone health and mammograms of the breast subject the body to radiation. Uranium miners and those living in areas close to nuclear weapons tests are exposed to higher levels of radiation. Ironically, some cancer treatments include radiation therapy to help kill cancer cells. Yet the radiation itself increases the risk of cancer. Historically, radiation was used to monitor patients with tuberculosis." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Radiation We are all exposed to radiation in the form of medical x-rays. Cardiologists, for instance, are exposed to a considerable amount of radiation because of the nature of this work. We do fluoroscopy all the time, putting in pacemakers and cardiac catheterizations. Fluoroscopy uses x-rays to view parts of the body on a screen, similar to the screening your luggage undergoes when you pass through airport security. No strong evidence exists that radiation damages the heart, yet we suspect there is a cardiovascular connection." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Also potentially harmful to the fetus are the mother's exposure to x-rays during pregnancy or the father's preconception exposure to x-rays.132 One study showed that high amounts of lead and barium in drinking water caused an increased risk of miscarriages.133 Elevated lead in the body has also been linked to preeclampsia134 and lower birth weight. Mercury has received perhaps the most attention of any of the pesticides and heavy metals. Methylmercury crosses the placenta and can impair the development of the central nervous system in the fetus." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Ionizing radiation: Exposure can increase the risk of certain cancers. x-rays used to treat disorders such as acne or adenoid enlargement can increase the risk of certain types of leukemia and lymphoma. Your doctor will not tell you this, but x-rays accumulate in the body, and each x-ray taken increases the risk, regardless whether it has been given for your teeth, gallbladder, spine, lungs, or bones. In 2006, over 62 million CT or Cat scans were performed in the United States, which has greatly increased the personal radiation dose experienced by the average U.S. resident." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Medical x-rays used at the dentist to see teeth root health, x-rays used by physicians to investigate bone health and mammograms of the breast subject the body to radiation. Uranium miners and those living in areas close to nuclear weapons tests are exposed to higher levels of radiation.

"In a study of patients with persistent back pain, researchers assigned half to get back x-rays and the other half to receive no x-rays. Those who had x-rays were more likely to have pain at follow-up and had slightly worse daily functioning. Nonetheless, those in the x-ray group were more satisfied with their care than those who received no x-rays.20 In this case, the added testing made patients happier, even though it may have made their health worse. Yet another example comes from the treatment of men with early prostate cancer." - Richard A. Deyo M.D. M.P.H., Donald L. Patrick, Hope or Hype: The Obsession with Medical Advances and the High Cost of False Promises (Get the book.)

"But as you may know, x-rays, CT-scans and microwaves are accumulative, and you can never tell when the body responds with a healing crisis, such as cancer. Many people are very unsuspecting, unconcerned or naive with regard to their health. The incidence of chronic disease has moved from 10% to 90% in just 100 years. In may not be just one thing that causes these degenerative diseases, but a combination of factors. But yes, each factor becomes significant when combined with others. Everyone must make their own choices and decide what's good for them and what isn't." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Is taking cancer treatment with x-rays or drugs ?Has ever had a low platelet count (a blood disorder) ?People who recently had a transfusion or were given other blood products should ask their doctor when they may get MMR vaccine Autism Society of America webpage, Facts and Statistics, Autism Society of America, 2003,2006 http://www.autism-society.org/site/PageServerPpage-name=FactsStats FACTS AND STATISTICS, 2003, 2006 AUTISM SOCIETY OF AMERICA ?1 in 150 births1 ?1 to 1.5 million Americans2 ?Fastest-growing developmental disability ?10?7 % annual growth ?" - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"While we are swallowing too many pills, we are also undergoing unneeded surgeries, x-rays, and CT scans. The companies striving to sell us as many pills, medical devices, and hospital stays as possible have goals that conflict with a basic tenet of medical intervention: do not overtreat. Instead, the medical marketers of the twenty-first century work by the advice given to displaymen employed by the nation's department stores in the early 1900s as they learned to seduce the masses into buying more shirts, dresses, and toys." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"This baseline will consist chiefly of the self-rating scales you used in chapter 5, along with any objective medical data you have at your disposal (such as your blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, recent x-rays or scans, lab work results, or physician reports). Now you're ready to go. Structuring a plan that will let you achieve your goals is actually simple. We're going to approach it as if you were dining out at your local restaurant, where there's both a fixed and an a la carte menu. First, let's review all the items on the menu—the tools you now have at your disposal: ?" - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"Avoiding unnecessary medical x-rays is one of the best ways to reduce exposure to ionizing radiation. However, in many instances, the benefits of ionizing radiation as a tool for diagnosis of various diseases and as an effective way to treat some cancers outweigh the risks. Alcohol Alcohol itself is not a carcinogen. However, population studies show that there is a strong link between alcohol consumption and some forms of cancer. A strong association exists between alcohol use and cancers of the esophagus, pharynx and mouth." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"The doctors took x-rays and said the thumb was broken and a tendon had been ripped off, and that I would need surgery. I called my mommy (my practitioner) and asked for assistance. She lives in Washington and I live in Colorado. I sat down and over the phone she took me back in time. This time, my thumb went into a bowl of cotton balls instead of the floor. Within the hour my cast was bothersome so I took it off, only to find I had full range of motion and no pain. When I went to the doctor again they took more x-rays and there was no sign of anything wrong with the thumb." - Richard Bartlett, Matrix Energetics: The Science and Art of Transformation (Get the book.)

"Fluoroscopy uses x-rays to view parts of the body on a screen, similar to the screening your luggage undergoes when you pass through airport security. No strong evidence exists that radiation damages the heart, yet we suspect there is a cardiovascular connection. Radiation can damage DNA in the X-ray path and literally cause plaque because such damage can set off inflammation. When you are being radiated, you are essentially being burned. About five years ago, Dr. Sinatra was perplexed to find out that despite all his personal preventive health practices, he had highly oxidized LDL." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"As he had a wealth of x-rays and other medical test reports, he could produce a full record of his medical history by which to measure any change. The vet's blog prompted our other readers to set twice-weekly periods during which they would send intention to him, and he in turn began to keep a diary of his condition. After a few months, he wrote in to say that he was virtually pain free. His progress wasn't scientific in any sense, just a personal intention experiment, but it offered a wonderful example of the kind of personal intention experiment that readers could try in their own lives." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"We believe x-rays damage endothelial cells. A prime example was a patient with multiple risk factors for CVD, including diabetes and high blood pressure. In 1995, prior to beginning New Cardiology therapy, he was treated with radiation for a neck tumor. Subsequent diagnosis revealed 3 5 percent narrowings in both his carotid arteries. Eight years later, carotid ultrasound showed substantial deterioration with high-grade obstruction. Yet a coronary angiogram revealed clean arteries in the heart, an area not exposed to the radiation beam." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Information can be inserted into the wave at any Energetic Integratot point in the big body-wave for any number of reasons—physical shock or trauma, emotional shock or trauma, toxins, microbes, parasites, bacteria and fungi, ionizing radiation, x-rays, microwaves, poor nutrition, geopathic stress, and the like. The opposite also is ttue. If corrective information is inserted into the wave at an Integrator anywhere along it, then that information also can change the wave, reforming it in a way that is more in tune with the body's natural state." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Dentists are over-relying on x-rays, because that is what we were taught. x-rays are far inferior to electrical diagnosis of the tooth, but dentistry as a whole hasn't progressed that far. The problem with x-rays is that they can miss things. You are only looking at things from two sides. You can't see what's at the back of the tooth. Also, x-rays produce distortions. They may show infection going down to a certain depth, but the true infection may go much further. In addition, dentists are relying on patients to tell them if they are in pain, or if they feel pain when the area is touched." - Sam Biser, Sam Biser's save your life collection: A Layman's course in curing last-stage diseases (Get the book.)

"Analyses may be made using x-rays and other imaging machines, and nerve impulses may be measured. Tests and treatments are carried out on a couch, which can be raised or lowered by the chiropractor. Adjustments are usually made manually,- however, sometimes firm, wedge-shaped 'blocks' are placed around the back or pelvic area to re-align the spine. A high-pressure activator is often used to apply pressure quickly and firmly and some chiropractic adjustments can be more effective by a 'dropped table' technique." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Your doctor will not tell you this, but x-rays accumulate in the body, and each x-ray taken increases the risk, regardless whether it has been given for your teeth, gallbladder, spine, lungs, or bones. In 2006, over 62 million CT or Cat scans were performed in the United States, which has greatly increased the personal radiation dose experienced by the average U.S. resident. The radiation dose from a CT scan is 50 times to 100 times larger than from a conventional x-ray." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Other studies reveal that children exposed to x-rays are more likely to develop breast cancer as adults. Microwave ovens that heat and radiate your food are just as damaging and can cause cancer of the blood, as well as tumors in the brain and other parts of the body. (See section below.) Facts about mammography: • Each x-ray you accumulate increases your risk of abnormal cell growth. One standard mammography test results in approximately 1 rad (radiation absorbed dose) exposure, about 1,000 times greater than that from a chest x-ray." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"It suddenly began to register continuous bursts of x-rays. In a panic, we checked our clothes and belongings for radioactive contamination. We moved the detector around to find the source of the x-rays. We finally concluded that the cell must be the source. But at the time we never imagined electrolysis could produce x-rays, so after careful consideration we decided it must be some kind of electrical interference. It turned out the cell really was generating x-rays, but I did not realize that until much later." - Jed Rothwell, Nuclear Transmutation: The Reality of Cold Fusion (Get the book.)

"Love, "the pharmaceutical companies started placing ads in the medical journals showing wheelchairs, x-rays of crooked spines, and pathetic-looking women with dowager's humps. They funded medical meetings and lectures about osteoporosis." The next step was to "educate" the public. In 1985, only 23 percent of women had heard of osteoporosis. But, according to US News and World Report, that changed quickly as the result of the efforts of Burson-Marsteller, the public relations firm hired by Wyeth-Ayerst." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "The tools of healing that they want to learn about are blood tests, electrocardiograms, x-rays, MRIs, drugs, surgeries, and scopes of all kinds. Doctors in training work in the teams that are frequently seen making rounds in teaching hospitals. These teams are made up of students and doctors at all levels of training, the most senior member being the attending physician, usually a faculty member of the medical school. Each team represents a microcosm of medicine's hierarchy of knowledge, experience, and authority." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "Often the students and residents on call get little or no sleep, as their hours are filled with "working up" patients: recording medical histories, doing exams, getting blood work, looking at electrocardiograms and x-rays, doing urgent procedures, talking to family members and more senior doctors, and whatever else needs to be done. As a first-year resident, I remember feeling fortunate if I had enough time to brush my teeth before morning rounds began and was truly grateful if I had enough time for a shower." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Antidotes to Homeopathic Remedies Some things such as camphor, mint, strong odours, coffee, drugs, x-rays, CAT scans, MRIs and electric blankets are known to antidote or counteract remedies. These strong flavours are said to antidote the remedies because the very gentle remedies can't compete with them. Coffee affects the nervous system but tea is said to be less injurious to the remedies. Dosing the Remedy Usually people would take their homeopathic remedy in a 30CH potency in a pellet or liquid form." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)
