A sprawling mix of real-world education, armchair journalism, and scientific exploration, all anchored in Radiation Medicine. The Establishment™ has locked information behind towering ivory walls: consider this channel your nuclear Robin Hood, stealing from the rich to give to the poor; gadflies forcing radioactive truth into the spotlight. Of course, none of this is medical, legal, or financial advice.

Radiophobia and Secondary Malignancy (Radiotherapy for Arthritis: The Miniseries)

Episode One, Part Two of the “Real World LDRT” miniseries (sponsored by Xstrahl) circles back to the 1940s and the extraordinary flaws of the "linear no threshold" (LNT) model of radiation risk. We explore backroom deals, handshake science, corporate greed, regulatory capture, hormesis, OSHA violations, putting radium in the throats of 2.5 million children...you know, the regular, everyday stuff.

Why? Because a common hesitation to deploying LDRT for arthritis is the risk of the treatment itself causing cancer.

Spoiler alert: there has never been a case of secondary malignancy from therapeutic radiation below a magical threshold dose.

And LDRT stays below that threshold.

Don’t believe me? That’s why this miniseries exists!
