> Depleted Uranium: A Scientific Perspective

3 November 2005, 06:12

As my daughter’s fiancé is about to leave for Iraq next Thursday Nov 11th ’05 for 9 months, as so many others before him and certainly many more to follow, how would it be possible to protect them from radiation sickness brought on by DU?
I have learned that "radioactive elements are structurally similar to their radioactive counterparts… Nutrition is important in preventing or blocking damage from exposure to radioactive elements.If you do not obtain sufficient amounts of calcium, potassium, and other minerals in your diet, your body may absorb radioactive elements that are similar in structure to thes nutrients.…" ("Prescription for Nutritional Healing", 2nd ed., James F. & Phyllis A. Balch).
If it were this simple, how can it be that DU is allowed to cause so much damage?

Does Dr. Moret, or anyone, know of any preventive, protective measures short of not going?
Wouldn’t the chemical and pharmaceutical industries gain in finding solutions?
Why produce such dangerous elements without formulating counter measures to undo the foreseen damage to all?
