I had a PET/CT last Friday. I was HOT -- but only for about 24 hours! I have a radiation detector, and the LED that normally blinks
every couple of seconds -- or less -- was solid red (I kept the sound off, it would have been a constant buzz)! I was about three or four orders of magnitude above background (I took some pictures of the readings). This isotope has about a 50 minute half-life. So a lot of people would say I was "clean" after ten half-lives -- in this case then: By dinner time.
But the best nuclear physicists I've met (and I've met dozens) prefer to speak of 20 half-lives. You could watch the numbers dropping every time I put the radiation detector up to my body in the same place. Blinking was also elevated if it was simply in the same room, but less and less the further from me the detector was placed, of course.
My previous PET, November 2020, was a different isotope: I was "hot" for about three days* because it had a half-life of about eight hours.
Last time, they wanted to see how much of the cancer was in the bones (LOTS). This time they wanted to see how much my lymph nodes would take up, a few months after chemo was over.
The answer? None!
Here's what the doctor just sent me minutes ago:
"The PET/CT confirms that you have achieved a complete remission. This is great news!"
Blood tests and a bone marrow biopsy a month or two ago had already come out negative. Next blood test is next month -- just to be sure.
Not a bad result after spending two one week visits in the hospital getting 13 or 14 (I lost count; might have been 15) units of blood during the two lengthy hospital stays, plus a dozen additional trips to complete my chemo treatments and another two dozen visits to get blood tests -- all during the worst pandemic in modern history! I only saw ONE professional medical person with her mask below her nose, and that was a year ago. the medical staff have been marvelous from start to finish.
Radiation has its benefits for mankind. Nuclear weapons and nuclear energy are not among them. (Medical isotopes can be made with at most one or two reactors in the entire world, and many isotopes can be made without a reactor (perhaps from all the Spent Nuclear Fuel lying around in hundreds of locations around the world).
Today Joe Biden announced he is giving Australia the designs for our nuclear submarines so that Australia can build at least eight nuclear submarines of their own. Says it has nothing to do with China. Uh huh.
And today, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved a "temporary" nuclear waste repository in Texas, that almost nobody in Texas wants -- not even the Governor, who loves nuclear power. But doesn't want to deal with the waste.
We all have a lot of work to do!

*A small addendum:
After the first PET I probably should have isolated for closer to a week, rather than just three days, in keeping with the 20 half-lives standard that the best radiation experts suggest rather than the pro-nuker's standard 10 half-lives number.
After 10 half-lives about 1 thousandth of the original amount remains.
After 20 half-lives about 1 millionth of the original amount remains.
Sometimes I think pro-nukers are just really bad at math.
Another addendum (2024):
I'm going to be having another PET/CT later this month, because my doctor suspects the cancer might be back since I've had several strokes and four seizures in the past two years...I'll try to remember to update this blog entry depending on what they find!

Covid is real but, it is also a cover for the real monster of global heating and other diseases, now encroaching from the nuclear and chemical poisoning of the planet. Next year people will not be able to work, in most parts of the southern usa because of wet bulb. This summer alone 2500;workers, south of the Mason Dixon line , age 18 to 65, have died from heat exhusstion from Wet Bulb syndrome. It is going strong in September,2021.
ReplyDeleteThe Nuclear Bomb Makers at Alamogordo, were very Reluctant to detonate the first nuclear bomb made at Los Alamos by them and Oppenheimer in the early 1940s. They were afraid the Nuclear Bomb would set the atmosphere on Fire.
There is much more, of the most poisonous substances, in all parts of the environment now. Wildfires across the USA are burning 10s of thousands of the most poisonous, substances known to man that has been, biocumulated in the burned trees. Organic, heavy metals, pesticides, radionuclides, halogens, and more.
3 years ago, I said there would be, twice as many wild fires, as there were in the previous year, in the USA. . I’m a toxicologist. I said the wildfires, would be spreading out further across the USA, in the next year, in 2019. I said wildfires would infiltrate suburban and, city areas in the next year after that, by 2020, that had never experienced wildfires, and they did.
Wildfires occured IN Phoenix AND BY IT'S Palo Verde, NUCLEAR REACTORS in 2020. Valley fever and chagas are worse epidemics than the pandemic because of all the shit in the air from pollution, wildfires, and global heating
Wildfires occured all over California, Oregon , and Nevada.
Wildfires occured in Las Vegas Nevada, parleys canyon and city canyon Utah. There were wildfires in the humid east last year and, the year before that. Smoke In eastern cities.
A year ago, I said wildfires would be twice as big as the previous years . I said wildfires, would infiltrate places, never seen before. They did . There were the largest wildfires ever seen, in the core of the largest mountain groups in the USA in Colorado and Utah. They made way for flash flooding, that disrupted local economies this same year in large areas in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, in Colorado.
There are multiple and widespread annual and perenial wildfires, in Nuclear Catastrophe zones and human nuclear manufacturing zones, in the world. This has been occuring for at least the last 40 years.
Chernobyl, mayak, Hanford, Los Alamos, Fukushima, France, Kazakhstan, n Africa, Santa Susana, Los Alamos, Inl, white sands, Nevada, Colorado operation Dune Buggy, by nuclear reactors, Siberia in west china, in Pakistan, in Israel.
In
The radioactive reservation and Nuclear Catastrophe zones fires, spread pyrophoric and extremely poisonous radionuclides further out .
There are mini-nuclear catastrophes, occuring again and again, throughout the world and a lot in the USA, at least semiannually.
ReplyDeleteAll radionuclides are pyrophoric. A great deal of the physical damage, from nuke detonations, comes not only from radiation and emitter fallout, there a firestorms.
Incredibly murderous firestorms that burn bpeople alive. The very large firestorm from a nuclear blast, are directly caused by relatively small amounts of the most pyrophoric substances known, plutonium.
Plutonium from the rocky mountain plutonium pit plant built in the 60s, pryophorically burned and contaminated Denver Colorado, in the 60s, 70s and eighties. They just lie about all the cancer and birth defects that eco-genocide caused, in the major city of Denver. Why would the build anything so evil, so close to a major city? Cheap labor. People too stupid to say or do anything. Kristen Iversen, documents her life, in the Arvada area, as the nuclear genocide unfolded, and she she discoveref more about the nightmarish, consequences of the plutonium pits fires at rocky flasta, in Denver, Colorado, as she wrote her book. Kristen Iversen's book is, Full Body Load
Uranium is a by-product of Nuke bomb, blasts. Uranium is used for it’s pyrophoric properties, in all munitions in the USA.
Inl or Idaho National Laboratory, is the most radionuclide concentrated area, on the planet . There have been 3 reactor meltdowns at Idaho National laboratory , over the past 75 years, like the salt reactor meltdowns at Santa Susana, north of Los Angeles. There are multiple fildfires by Santa Susana, every couple of years .
And Bill Gates wants to build a big salt Nuclear reactor, in Wyoming, at tax payers expense. Bill gates is the worst criminal, oligarch-psychopath, in history!
The Fukushima and Chernobyl evacuation areas, are the most regular pyrophoric radionuclide spreaders on earth. They consistently have wildfires. Fukushima and Chernobyl Have bad radionuclide wildfires
They both have
annual and perennial, radionuclide induced, wildfires in the evacuation zones..

Idaho National laboratory, is where small and large navy reactors are and, have been built. There are multiple types of nuclear reactors at inl. Idaho National Laboratory has 50 nuclear reactors and has had 100 reactors there over time. . Inl has as many nuclear reactors, as all of Japan in that small 100000, acre area in south east Idaho. The wildfires usually go much further and spread lethal, carcinogenic , mutagenic, fallout all over the USA .
The last INL wildfire by Idaho Falls, at INL in SE Idaho, was a monster 100,000 acres in 2019. My doctor friend at the Pocatello haspital said there was a dramatic increase in miscarriages and cancer after the 2019 INL fires. you will not see epidemiological studies of this for the same reason, you see bogus studies of Fukushima and chernobyl and though millions have died as Drs Caldicott , busby, dr miller and many others have noted. It is because the United States of America, is a nuclear terrorist state . The World Health Organization, WHO, is controlled by the USA
Many of the reactors at Idaho national laboratory, are smaller but, they are also some of the most dangerous nuclear reactors known. Sodium reactors, breeder reactors, plutonium reactors etc . .
ReplyDeleteInl has the most concentrated area of nuclear waste, in the world!
Nuclear catastrophe, occured at Idaho national laboratory in 2019 that burned 100,000 acres and contaminated the western USA.

The united states will be so contaminated, from radionuclides from wildfires, heat from climate change, wild fire poisons, wildfire destruction, nuclear fires and breakdowns that the country will not exist. It is not happening slowly till 2050 u dorks, IT IS HAPPENING NOW. IN 5 YEARS THERE WILL BE NOTHING! I cannot get this published on OEN , or anywhere. It is because humans are stupid and evil. It is because evil, old baby boomers don’t give a shit . From Chris Floyd empire burlesque:
“The US is ruled by very, very old, very, very rich people whose guiding principle is “Apres moi, le deluge.” They do not give a shit about global warming. If they don’t start a planet-poisoning nuclear war with China, before they crawl off to the graveyard, I would be very surprised.
The USA will burn down, faster than it is, as things go the same and denial goes on. ”
Dogs around los Alamos national plutonium pit manufacturung laboratory, only live to be 4 to 5 years old. There is the highest incidence of lung, skin, pancreatic cancer, in the world there. I worked with cancer patients for a year, there. Los Alamos Plutonium Pit Factory, is right by Santa Fe, New Mexico, the capital of New Mexico. People suffer from diseases there, that don’t exist in other places. Diseasesike dissolving esophaguses that is related to pharyngeal cancer. What else would you expect, at an evil deathhole, Like Los Alamos, New Mexico? Pharyngeal Cancer is one of the highest incidence cancers, for workers in Fukushima. Right up there, with the hundreds of children, who have developed thyroid cancers, who are from Fukushima the children have develop cancers, since the ongoing-Fukushima tragedy occured, in 2011.
There is plutonium and americium in the water table at Los Alamos, New Mexico.
Wipp, on the other side of the state, is worse. It is where they store all the unused and scrap plutonium, from the Los Alamos Plutonium Pit Factory. Massive amounts of plutonium are stored at The salt dome by Carlsbad NM. Dozens of tons of the most dangerous, poisonous radioctive death element on earth. A millionth of a gram kills hundreds of people the pyrophoric plutonium at WIPP was foolishly mixed with Lilly litter, by the cheap, Crooked East Indian Contractor, that is responsible for plutonium burial at WIPP. wIPP has caught fire and exploded several timesit will continue to do so, till the end of time.

No one talks about radionuclide pyrophoricity. There have been perennial wild fires, around radioactive sieves like Hanford, Mayak, Los Alamos, Fukushima, Santa Susana, Chernobyl, and the Idaho national laboratory, for years.
There have been and are, worldwide, expansive wild fires, “On All major continents.” They are burning trees, that have accumulated pyrophoric nuclear fallout, over the past 75 years. Bomb detonation-fallout, Chernobyl, Fukushima and all the other meltdowns . There is radioactive ☢️ fallout in the environment you do not know about!
Radionuclides, from covered-up, radionuclide catastrophes, they lie about and lie about.The extremely toxic radionucleides, are going back into our food supply, air, and water. It is going into the air we breath, the food we eat, the water we drink. It is making climate change, much worse.
The wild fire areas, are doubling in ferocity and breadth every year. There are, wildfires adjacent to major cities and in towns.
The first rainstorm ever recorded, has occured at the.summit of Greenlands largest glacier.
There are probably only 5 years left for humans on earth.
I was in a mountain valley, after a 9000 acre wild fire struck there, this summer. The heart of the rocky mountains on fire, leading to paralyzing floods in mountain valleys, from the loss of the trees, that keep soil and water in the mountains..
House flies are impacted and largely gone in the valley I was in, whereas there are usually significant housefly problems , in the summer. Fly reproduction cycles are the most vulnerable, to radionuclide mutation and toxicity.
There were 4 hummingbirds coming to the feeders in the spring and beginning of the summer. No hummingbirds for 2 months
People simply ignore it. It is getting far worse than this pandemic. Soon systems will fail in a juggernaut of collapse. There is other pestilence that is out of hand. People won’t be able to breath or survive because of the heat and smoke. How stupid humans are. Many insect and bees are already gone. A mass of insane deluded, gluttonous, evil-monkeys.

Can metals burn underwater? Can metals burn in air, with no ignition source? The answer is a definite yes, that there are multiple metals that can and have been known to do both of the above given the opportunity and right circumstances. Many of the most toxic, radioactive and deadly dangerous man made artificial elements created by the nuclear industry are pyrophoric.
The nuclear monopoly wants to keep this information secret, because if the general population ever found out how dangerous, toxic and deadly, plus explosively pyrophoric poisonous are, any of these man-made, artificial, nuclear scientist created elements, really are, the entire nuclear monopoly would be shut down
DEFINITION OF A PYROPHORIC SUBSTANCE
Wikipedia; "A pyrophoric substance (from Greek: πυροφόρος, pyrophoros, 'fire-bearing') is a substance that ignites spontaneously in air at or below 54 °C (129 °F) (for gases) or within 5 minutes after coming into contact with air (for liquids and solids).[1] Examples are iron sulfide and many reactive metals including plutonium and uranium, when powdered or thinly sliced. Pyrophoric materials are often water-reactive as well and will ignite when they contact water or humid air. They can be handled safely in atmospheres of argon or (with a few exceptions) nitrogen. Class D fire extinguishers are capable of dealing with pyrophoric fires
