I hope all of patients who had this cruel practice of using non standardized ionizing radiation on children will email Physicians Social Responsibility website that is website of physicians advocating for patient exposure to radiation! They helped many pts get RECA compensation for radiation exposure from ground like in Nevada etc..

I had to pay out $47,000 for teeth implants due to the effects radiation did to my jaw bones , teeth although I had seen dentist every 6 months thru out my life but maybe the last 10 yrs my teeth have been breaking, falling out then when I planned on dentures due to enlarged lymph nodes under my jaw thinking it was teeth infected I had my 18 teeth extracted but I was told due to my dry mouth and loss of jaw bone which was directly related to childhood radiation! I feel if I would if known about this radiation when I was young maybe preventive measure could have been taken as my decades long deficiency in VitD w doctors not able to get within normal range !

Pls post this message elsewhere if needed to let NRI pts be aware that someone should advocate for us

    I may have written the email incorrectly so pls check for accuracy on Physicians Social Responsibility website they advocate for RECA compensation radiation pts exposure thru ground ! Why are they not advocating for us!!! Pls email them requesting RECA compensation to radiation used in past ! I emailed them this morning

    you need to tell others not yo email others on this site ! I am sure i am not the only one to make mistake. Like I want to stalk someone ! No but it would be nice to have NRI pts to share info cause the medical professionals don’t care if you were radiated as child for benign issues ! They only care if you have cancer
