ionizing radiation
the best book i bought in the last 30 years has been "minerals for the genetic code." the olree chart is beyond fascinating, its seminal to a new era in health care. but along with that are some mind-blowing concepts put forward by walters, the author.
he describes the fear engendered in folks toward radiation and the love affair with chemicals, a la "better living through chemistry." stupid humans. they both do the same kind of damage. these are ions disrupting, distorting, and otherwise destroying biological molecules. this happens through ionization. whether this is forced upon a molecule via nuclear radiation or chemical ions, it makes no difference. the damage is the same.
look a a tube of toothpaste in the store. see the fluoride content. it tells you the % of fluoride ion in the paste. if nuclear material exposure scares people then this chemical ionizer should cause a psychotic episode, but it doesnt. not until after the toothpaste has been used for a while, of course. but then they blame god or chance or a Boniva deficiency for the damage, not the chemical or the distributors thereof.
