Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 The U.S. FDA recently approved as a FOOD ADDITIVE: the use of high-energy NEUTRON bombardment of containers 'that might contain food' as a surveillance method to detect contraband in trucks and sea containers and, one presumes, conceivably our suitcases and so forth. Unlike irradiating food directly with X-rays or gamma rays, Neutron bombardment induces gamma radiation IN the food AND actually DOES leave it radioactive. Typically just a few seconds! Produces an infinitesimal amount of radiation only, with a fairly short half-life, that in actual fact will (probably) do little damage. Though they admit that in 'iffy' cases they might have to blast something for 'as much as 5 minutes'. (Or perhaps a little more, if the inspector forgets to turn his unit OFF before leaving for his coffee break.....) Here's the reference, from the Federal Register: http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/06jun20041800/edocket.access.gpo.gov /2004/04-27868.htm The Hexagram 2. K'un / The Receptive Methinks this is an OPPORTUNITY to establish our identity. Of course we stand up and voice our concerns. But we also have an opportunity to offer some solutions. Chinese Parsley (cilantro) just may help remove those toxins. We state " our mission " Optimum health is best achieved through prevention. However where intervention is necessary then we offer herbal remedies that through a experienced [insert identity crisis identifier here] performs a differential diagnosis to maximize health and eliminate potential side-affects. see a [insert identity crisis identifier here] when you get a chance as symptoms of low dose radiation does not appears for several years and are insidious (slow to develop) Maybe we could pass out cilantro tabs at the airports...
