Triggering mechanisms are still more obscure. Stanford University's Radiologist Henry Kaplan has shown that if he gives a dose of X rays to seemingly virus-free mice, they develop cancers containing virus particles. The late Dr. Francisco Duran-Reynals argued that chemicals and viruses combine to cause cancer. Now many laboratories are confirming his basic thesis: mice painted with a low dose of a known carcinogen (cancer-causing chemical) get no tumors, and neither do those exposed only to viruses; but if mice get both the virus and minute amounts of the chemical, many of them soon develop...
...team of six doctors, nurses, and technicians hover at chamber-side, the radiologist maneuvers a betatron into position. After slamming shut a hatch at the end of the chamber, technicians force oxygen in. After 15 minutes under full pressure, during which the patient's body is closely watched by means of closed-circuit television, the radiologist turns on the betatron, shoots radiation at the tumor. Following treatment, the patient is decompressed in deep-sea-diver fashion and taken to the recovery room...
...their own doctor." Anti-fluoridation groups in other states helpfully flooded Massachusetts with leaflets implying that fluoridation causes cancer and brittle bones and hinting that its proponents are acting on orders from Moscow to soften American brains. Throughout the campaign Rosenberger kept in close telephone contact with Seattle Radiologist Frederick...
...Baronofsky selected patients who were in no shape to withstand surgery. Working with Surgeon Elliot Senderoff and Radiologist John Boland, he focused an X-ray beam through the chest walls onto the heart muscle itself, in three or more treatments over a two-week period. By now the group has treated 28 patients and seen no ill effects, but encouraging signs that in the human subjects, as in the dogs, small coronary branches have increased and carried a bigger load...
...many heart attack victims may be benefited if the radiation technique fulfills its inventors' hopes cannot yet be guessed. Most important is the fact that if it works, it can be done without anesthesia, and by any experienced radiologist in his office...
