Same issue DISCOVER, p 74 "Poisons that kill or injure at high doses , can have the opposite effect at low doses, he says, and the paradox holds true for every conceivable measure of health - growth, fertility, life span, and immune and mental function. The effect is known as hormesis from the Greek word for excite."

Sounds perilously close to homeopathy.

Dear Faldage: that is one thing the hecklers bring up. However, the homeopathic doses are far, far lower than the doses the author is talking about. The one thing I wish he had discussed was for how long you can be exposed to the low doses before cumulative errects show up. For instance, I was expsed to cousin who had tuberculosis when I was about four years old. I have had many, many Xrays since. At what point might cululative effect show up? Nobody knows. I doubt very much that the Xrays had any hormetic effect on me.
