Regeneration!

This is coolbert:

Thanks to the tip here today from the CBS Evening News.

Amazing and hitherto unexpected benefits from atomic bomb above ground testing?

"Nuclear Fallout Solves Heart Mystery"

"Can the atomic bomb tests of the Cold War lead to better treatments for heart attacks? Well, it's a bit of a stretch, but the answer may be yes."

"a team of scientists in Sweden has shown that heart muscles cells do regenerate — just very, very slowly. And the researchers used fallout from the Cold War atomic bomb tests to prove it."

This is very surprising stuff. And if you were born before 1963, you too may able to contribute to research in this area.

It has now been demonstrated, thanks to all the above ground nuclear atomic bomb tests conducted prior to 1963, that the muscles of the heart can regenerate, albeit very slowly.

This was once not considered to be possible. Heart muscles were thought to either NOT regenerate at all or if so, did at a very slow rate.

Nuclear radioactive carbon 14 particles as found in the heart muscles [DNA] of cadavers, persons born before 1963, seem to indicate that the muscles of the heart do indeed regenerate.

This indicates that it IS POSSIBLE TO CONSIDER POSSIBLE TREATMENTS FOR HEART DISEASE THAT WERE ONCE THOUGHT TO BE IMPOSSIBLE TO HIGHLY UNLIKELY.

A "silver lining", never anticipated from the days of the Cold War, when above ground nuclear tests released dangerous particles into the atmosphere? Seems so.

Comments:

* More nuclear debris was released into the atmosphere by the Chernobyl disaster alone than in all the above ground nuclear tests combined. [about 2,000 above ground nuclear tests of atomic weapons were conducted prior to 1963.]

* It is only recently that the devices and instruments have become available to measure the amount of radioactive carbon 14 found in the DNA of heart muscles.

* That one thing humans seems to fear so much, nuclear radioactivity, is the only reason that life on this planet, much less intelligent human life exists. Without naturally occurring background radiation, our planet Earth would be a big chunk of frozen ice and rock.

* Can anyone tell if that bomb in the picture accompanying this blog entry is detonating in Siberia or over the horizon in the U.S.?
