Airport X-Rays " Planting Seeds " of Cancer

Author claims proof dates back to atomic blasts at Hiroshima and

Nagasaki

Petersburg, VA - What you can't see, can hurt you. Just ask James

P. Hilton a 45 year old paramedic educator turned freelance

journalist. In his newly launched book, Playing With Fire: What

Everyone Needs To Know to Protect Their Health From X-rays

(www.playingwithfire123.com) Hilton claims airport Backscatter x-ray

machines, sometimes called " virtual strip searches " for their

ability to allow security men to see beneath people's clothing, are

setting the stage for a future epidemic of cancer.

Thus far, news coverage has swirled almost exclusively around the

more emotionally charged, " privacy concerns. " But according to

Hilton the looming issue is whether repeated bombardment with

radiation is " planting the seeds " of disease. " In light of the

abundance of evidence attesting to radiation's proven dangers, it is

unfathomable that any competent, unbiased doctor could take the

position that x-rays do not pose a menace to all living cells

through which they pass, leaving behind a painful and costly trail

of destruction, " he wrote.

According to research uncovered in Playing With Fire, ionizing

(penetrating) radiation in any dose, no matter how tiny, causes

genetic mutations, which set all living cells exposed on the path to

cancer. X-rays are considered ionizing radiation. Drawing on

sources like The Mayo Clinic and The Radiological Society of North

America as well as interviews with prominent radiologists, molecular

biologists, and medical doctors, Hilton says Playing With Fire

constructs an " iron clad " case. However, the manufacturer of the

new Backscatter machines, currently being piloted at several

airports, along with the FDA have given assurances of the

device's " complete safety " for everyone. Hilton shoots back, " it is

undisputed within scientific circles that even a single x-ray

increases a three month old's chances of developing cancer in later

life by at least 10 times, and yet they have plowed ahead approving

up to 5000 backscatter images per person, per year. It's

unconscionable. "

" Predictably " he wrote, " the product's manufacturer spins out the

usual half truths, citing a " very low level of x-rays' " and boasting

the opinion, packaged to appear as fact, that, " The system is

completely safe for all persons... " Back peddling authorities are

now trying to appease the public by saying everyone will be allowed

to opt out. I say, sure, for now. "

Playing with Fire also takes aim at other non-medically essential

use of radiation including pre-employment, excessive dental and

chiropractic x-rays, newly developed " Silent Guardian " microwave

crowd control devices and even questioning why there have been no

studies proving police radar beams pointed at drivers do not

contribute to cataracts.

The book further instructs readers how to use antioxidants to

minimize the damage from radiation exposure and also how to convert

an AM/FM portable radio into a basic radiation detection device in

order to locate and avoid sources of electromagnetic fields in the

home or at work.

Quotable Quotes

from Playing With Fire

• Just one full body CT scan exposes a person to " ...about the same

dose of radiation as if you had been standing a mile and a half away

from the atom bomb exploded at Hiroshima. "

• One review of 80,000 medical practitioners concluded that

radiologists live on average, five years less than other medical

personnel.

• Predictably, the [backscatter] manufacturer's web site spins out

the usual half truths, citing a " ...very low level of x-rays, " and

boasting the opinion, packaged to appear as fact that, " The system

is completely safe for all persons... " Authorities are saying

everyone will be allowed to " opt out. " Sure; for now.

• Even a single x-ray increases a 3 month old's chances of

developing cancer in later life by 10 times.

• " You should fear a doctor with an x-ray machine as you would a six

year old waving a loaded gun. Most doctors...give you the same

assurances that I was given more than thirty years ago by my

professors in medical school. They'll tell you that radiation is at

such a low level that it can't do any harm. That's just as much

hogwash today as it was then. " -Robert S. Mendelsohn, M.D. (Former

associate professor of medicine, University of Illinois Medical

School and chairman of the state's medical licensing committee).

• Lives get cut short and people die totally avoidable, agonizing

deaths, long before their time, just so doctors can pay off

their " investment' in an office x-ray suite, or so some entrepreneur

who invents a new machine for airports can make a fortune, or so

hospital chains and insurance companies can generate a profit, or

so a sales rep who sells x-ray machines can collect his commission.

• So called risk/benefit assessments which attempt to

balance " health effects " against " economic benefits " are too often

structured to focus on risks and benefits to society (read

governments and big business) as opposed to families or individuals

(people).

• There is a huge gulf between the term permissible and the word

safe.

• A ten year old boy exposed to a full mouth dental x-ray exam has a

one-in-600 chance of developing cancer in later life.

• It is incomprehensible that any competent, unbiased doctor could

take the position that routine medical/dental, preemployment,

immigration, and now airport x-rays, do not pose a menace to all

living cells through which they pass, leaving behind a painful and

costly trail of destruction.

• At the dentist and doctor's office, seeing as it is they who stand

safely behind a lead wall, it will be you, not them who may develope

cancer from the x-ray beam they are about to shoot through your

body.Therefore, the final decision on whether the benefits outweigh

the risks, rightfully belongs with you, today's innocent patient,

turned tomorrow's potential cancer victim.

• Ask [your doctor] if he can produce even a single study which

proves that radiation when combined with the hundreds of other known

carcinogens spilling into our air, water, and food is in fact safe?

He couldn't even produce a study which took so many variables into

account.

• Why on earth should only " medical doctors " be permitted air time

to express opinions on public health matters which impact the health

and liberty of literally every single citizen in the nation?

• If all those " experts " advocating " permissible " exposures are

wrong, as I and many others believe they are, then this will be

their lasting legacy, the fruit of their terribly mistaken judgment.

They will have to answer to God. Medical history is chock full of

such tragic arrogance, killing millions. It is my hope and belief

that we can do better.

Bio - James P. Hilton: Lifesaver, Author, Champion of informed

choice

James P Hilton is an internationally published author and poet who

has served mankind as a paramedic and medical educator for more than

two decades. Born in Jersey City, NJ, a stone's throw from the

Statue of Liberty, Hilton has become a champion of informed medical

choices.

As an Eagle Scout, young Hilton became a rescue squad volunteer at

age 16. At age 23 he began teaching emergency medicine at hospitals

and medical schools and later became a member of the National

Association of EMS Educators.

Hilton's career in emergency medical services spanned 24 years. He

served as an EMT for hospitals, fire department, and private

ambulance companies and was certified as a paramedic in seven

states. Hilton later traveled abroad and authored several books

sharply critical of the medical business. In his travels, Hilton has

interviewed hundreds of doctors, medical lawyers, and medical

professors to gather material for Playing With Fire.

Married to a New Zealander, Hilton lives with his wife and two

children near Petersburg, VA. Before settling in Petersburg, Hilton

lived in Australia, New Zealand, New Jersey, Massachusetts,

Pennsylvania, Florida, Nevada, Kentucky, and Oklahoma.

Hilton has appeared on several television shows in the United States

and Australia, including " The Today Show. " As an emergency medicine

teacher, he has spoken throughout the U.S. and has been interviewed

by several editors and reporters throughout the country. To spread

his message, Hilton has had literally hundreds of essays and

letters to the editor published in newspapers around the world.

Playing With Fire is the author's ninth book and is nothing short of

a life-changing classic. One of Hilton's most prominent books,

Burden of Proof: Survivors of Cancer or AIDS, sold more than 10,000

copies in Australia and New Zealand after the Australian Medical

Association tried to have it banned. The AMA was upset because it

believed there was no hope for cancer or AIDS and accused Hilton of

misleading victims. In Burden of Proof, Hilton presented documented

cases of persons who survived cancer and AIDS after changing their

lifestyles through healthier diet and exercise. Hilton, now a

freelance journalist, has also written two poetry books and several

other medical expose books.

When it comes to conspiracy stuff I never know what is worse:

ignorance or the fear engendered by knowledge.

I used to just laught this sort of stuff off. Now I am not

so sure anymore.

It won't stop me from flying, occasionally.

And it will be another reason to eat my anti-oxidants and

plant, collect and preserve as many herbs as I can!

I went into my local Walmart and bought 2 fish. The clerk there put them in

the bag, marked the bag and then said " don't let the check out person scan

these fish. It's not good for them " . I thought, hmmm. So I get up to check

out and I start to say " the clerk back there said-- " and she cuts in and

says " oh, I know, I'm not suppose to scan them. Also, when you go out

through the doors raise your fish bag up above those gates there " . I said

what?? " She said, " those gates (bars-side rails) are to detect if someone is

stealing something, and if fish go through those gates they will die. So

when you walk through, hold the fish up over the gate. " . Now, if those

scanners kill fish just by going through once, what are those scanners doing

to us every time we walk in and out of stores??? Something to think about.
