Re: Digest Number 1794-PET Scans

[Guest guest]

I don't know about PET scans but I've told the Urologist that there will be

no more IVP or other X-Rays other than the 'forced' Chest X-Ray should I be

going into the hospital.

Back in the 50s I was told by a radiologist that " you have had your life's

share of X-rays already'.....Fluoroscopes too.......and you can imagine how

many more I have had and even more recently with the Bladder Tumors.

Do I really need to wonder 'why' I might have cancer???? Does it matter

if it was my foolish smoking years going back 30 years ago? Exposure to

pesticides?

I remember Herbert M. Shelton, leading expert on fasting and natural eating,

warning about X-raying already sick organs. Of course people want to know

about what is going on in their bodies but getting scans routinely sounds

like trouble ahead. I think I would allow an MRI because of it being a

magnetic approach rather than radiation.
