Radon Gas/Growth Hormone

[booger_dee]

Anybody ever experiment with Radon Gas. Reason I'm asking is that I saw some Electronic Radon Detectors on the web for $99. Years ago I knew this guy who had what he called a Radon Tube in his basement. Basically it was a about a piece of PVC pipe that was sunk into a wood subflooring. There was plastic sheeting under the subflooring.

The way he explained it the Radon Gas was concentrated under the plastic so everytime he'd workout he'd go into the backroom and inhale from the pipe between sets. He said that Radon wasn't really that dangerous. Said most of the hype on it came from the effects on Uranium Miners years ago and house Radon wasn't really that dangerous. He'd buy those little detectors that you'd leave in an area and then mail in and the labs would confirm how high the Radon levels were. He said his were right at the limit where you're supposed to call someone in to ventilate the area.

Anyway his theory was that Radon does micro damage to the mitochondrial and the nuclear DNA of the muscle and any damage to physical systems causes a release of some other little marker that signals the pituitary to release Growth Hormone. And the corresponding muscle damage just from the weights just boosted the GH up even more. He had some doctor that he'd go to every so often and have the GH levels checked. Sure enough he said it was high. He played around with it for several years. I haven't seen him in about a decade. Maybe the cancer got him. He was a welder in DC when they were building the metro so I imagine the Radon levels were pretty high down there also.

He was a big guy. Scary looking to with a lot of jailhouse tattoos. Went down on his Harley once. His face looked like someone took a grinder to it. I used to see him at a place called the Grecian Spa every so often too. He wasn't a member, but the owner was so scared of him that he didn't dare kick him out. He did screw the Smith Machine up pretty good. He'd load it up and do close grip bench presses. Eventually he bent the bar so bad that the owner cut the ends off with a hacksaw so that the most it would hold was 200 pounds.

Anyway it kind of makes sense about the Radon Gas/Growth Hormone thing. I mean, damage is damage. The pituitary just gets the signal. Probably hasn't a clue where the damage came from. It just starts pumping out the GH.

Actualy it has been proven that Radon gas causes cell damage thereby causing cancers.
The gas enters into the ,lungs attaches itself to a cell and actually explodes. The cell is now dead and it can attach to other cells causing the cancerous state.
Radon Gas is not something to mess with. I do Radon testing and mitigation I have to research and study this every year. Every year they are finding out new problems associated with this gas.It is actually the second leading killer right behind cigarettes.
So If you want to do this, let us know how it goes...;)

Based on research supplied* “radon appears to be the second most common cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoking ”. Radon gas is an ionising radioactive element, which is carcinogenic [causes cancer] and causes infertility, its 'daughter' products [the radioactive elements which break-down from Radon] are also ionising elements. DO NOT use, ever!

WOW, this sounds like a great theory! Bubba must know his ****! .......You first my friend.

20 years of diesel fumes have worked wonders for me. Wear it on your clothes when you go to the gym. You'll feel like a workin' man!!!

What PCT should be used after a radon cycle?

What PCT should be used after a radon cycle?

Sniffing model glue and taking coffee enemas with melted down jolly ranchers applied transdermally. Hope that helps.lol

Just when I thought I heard everything about bodubuilding. Using a cancer-causing radioactive gas, why didnt I think of that?

Sublingual plutonium is THE way to growth!

Understood. But it's not like he was sucking this stuff in everyday. Just during workouts. I can imagine that it's a real problem for Uranium miners. I just wonder if anybody has done any studies of lung cancer vs the Radon concentration areas of the US on the web. If it were an absolute that everytime a Radon ion hit a cell and it 'exploded', died, attached, and caused cancer I'm thinking we'd probably all be dead by now. I figure the immune system figures in here someplace and combats that condition somehow. At least in the young and healthy. Radon's been around a lot longer than we have. We've probably adapted somewhat to its 'destructive' action. Afterall there are cockroaches that can survive very high doses of radiation.

I'm trying to figure out how someone figures out what the original cause of lung cancer was in someone who didn't smoke. Is it a 'best guess'. For instance Dana Reeve didn't smoke. So did she walk into too many basements with Radon, or was it second hand smoke, or just the polluted environment we live in. If I were guessing I'd say I didn't know and just figure her immune system went 'low' because of the stress of her husband dying recently and she figured, maybe subconciously, that it was time to go underground. But she had a son, so why leave him to fend for himself. Not that he would have to since I'm sure he's got plenty of family and money to help out.

This Radon thing kind of reminds me of the Agent Orange issue. It seems the general belief is that any Vietnam Vet who dies of cancer is automatically assumed to have been sprayed in Vietnam. But that's not always the case, although the VA would like it be so for certain funding options. But that's another story.

This Roger(that was his name) had lots of other things he also used to use. Like Hawbakers #3 Coyote Urine. He already smelled bad from working all day beneath DC in the Metro tunnels, but he'd sprinkle a little Coyote Urine on. He had full use of any of the equipment. Nobody could stand the smell.

The last time I saw him was about 15 years ago. I had some equipment for sale in a local want-ad. He showed up to buy it. His memory seemed to have faded and he had a bad back from all the years of heavy lifting. Somewhere I've still got his phone number. Guess I better check and see if he's still alive.

Of course I did not get into the specifics of Radon, it would take all day to type it all up.Yes there were studies done to link lung cancer to radon, I beleive it can be found on an EPA website. As for it being around for ages, you are correct, but it was not until lately we have been corresponding high concentrations to cancers. Remember a normal level would be 4.0pCi/l ( picocuries per liter) Anything under it is tolerable.So if you have these levels you would be considered safe. Now to inhale these concentrated vapors would be insane and something only a unintelligent person would do. If you smoke it is even worse to inhale the stuff.
Now for the cockroaches, Well I am not one are you?
:)
Mold has been around since the begining of time, but we have recently dicovered the health issues caused by some of them. Such as aspergillus, it has been linked to upper respiratory problems. But usually only for those who are suceptible. Black mold, can be linked with major helath problems such as brain damage in young children and lung damage in older people. So yes we have lived with many healrth related problems forever , but not until recently we have been studying it and finding new things about it.
Now as for the " if it attached to a cell and killed it and then.. we would all be dead". Only during high levels over the 4.0 and for prolonged exposure periods. But why would one want to chance this? If I told you cockroach killer would make you bigger would you use?
What if there was a disclaimer that stated, "this product may make you sterile for life" would you still use it?

As I said go for it, let us know how it goes.......
