Do You Glow After Your MRI?

   It seems that every time that I go into the dentist
they want to take more x-rays.   I am definitely
concerned about my health, especially since
cancer runs rampant in my family.  I have had so much
radiation shot through my body that I can turn off
all of the lights in my house at night and still read
a book.

   That is a bit of an exaggeration, but I have always
wondered just how safe all this stuff is.  Oh, I do not
let my dentist take pictures unless I know it is
an absolute necessity.

   There has been a recent surge of interest in the amount
of radiation that patients are exposed to due to a large number
of patients who were exposed to 8 times what they were
supposed to have had (L.A. TImes).  I have heard rumors that
we might not even need the normal recommended amounts.

   I would really like to hear your thoughts on this.  Please
leave a comment.

   There are a lot of free self-help articles and ebooks being
given away.  This website is well worth checking out.
