Adaptive Response

Here's an interesting study that was published in the Calabrese's journal (fooled 'em).

It's interesting because it shows that microwave radiation can induce an adaptive response to lethality by gamma rays.  In other words, with these rodents, giving them some microwave radiation helps them survive lethal doses of gamma radiation given later.

As the study points out, many adaptive response phenomena have been observed.  But they only occur under unique conditions.  The priming (initial) dose has to be high (higher than what most consider "low dose radiation", and the challenge dose is usually much higher.

Health physics deniers (of the doubt-mongering variety) usually present one or more examples of adaptive response as hormesis....ie, radiation is good for you (in line with Calabrese's propaganda).

But there is no evidence supporting that claim.

P.S. Poor rodents.
