Does anyone have information or opinions about how many CT scans one can
have before the radiation danger becomes a high risk? |

My doctors say the rad is significant, and is thus not warranted for
casual examinations, but is warranted by the information and protection
they afford in our cases.

Depends what you mean by a "high risk"
If the risk of the CT outweighs the benefit of the CT, that's a high risk in
my opinion.. |

Possible other seemingly lesser concerns to nevertheless worry from:
Cellular phones & towers
Microwaves polluting environment, some specific areas constantly
Leaky microwave oven
Airport screening step-thru thing & the annoying scanner when I forget
to empty pockets before going forth
Dental x-rays
Body x-rays
Brick bldgs, the sun, nuke plants, water, ad radiata (neoglism?)
infinitum
See research
work of Dr. Jon Goffman, California, for further paranoia
