Sometimes I Wish I Was An IDRS Member

That's the International Hormesis Dose-Response Society.  Why?  Because some of titles of their pseudo-scientific papers sound like they'd be fun to read.  Like this one in their current publication:

""Alternative Medicine Techniques have Non-Linear Effects on Radiation Response and can Alter the Expression of Radiation Induced Bystander Effects "


Just what are "alternative medicine techniques"?  If a technique (course of treatment?) is medically efficacious it's called "medicine".  If it's not, it's not medicine.  There is no such thing as "alternative medicine techniques".

Of course, I'd need to shower after reading such nonsense.
