!, if you have these health problems, pay attention to these events before you fly!

If these events effect the vulnerable in flight...just think what it does to those angry and unaware on the ground!

Note: there is a plethora of interesting articles lower on the page. Check them out!

    i am a retired pilot of the Air Force and American Airlines...they have been collecting the data forever...it sits in the back right besides the "orange" recorder of all flight data and voice recordings of the last two hours.(it loops over the previous data)...the only airplane with a warning device for excessive radiation absorption was the Concorde...there was a bell in the cockpit...the procedure if the bell was ringing, was to descend until the bell quit ringing...they were at 60,000 ft at mach2...they did not know how much radiation they had just absorbed...all seating was first class...a politicos and top CEOs and movie stars...

    we have 6 times most cancer rates...heart disease...and eye problems...mac de...glaucoma...etc...and do not make it to age 65 retirement...

    female flight attendants have higher misscarries..lower birth weight babies...female pilots ground themselves the minute they find out they are pregnant....

    i retired 5 years early...and have been retired 15 years...i have had a "silent" heart attack and i am blind in one eye (glaucoma) and have the early signs of mac. de....otherwise still breathing

      Hang in there.
      I have been into natural medicine for over 20 years and lately have been privy to new products.
      I have in the last two months been using a product called ReJuvination...I think I've hit the big one!
      I am in good shape anyway at 65, haven't even had a cold in 20 years but this new stuff has me over the top with energy and my body seems to be working even better.
      The premise is to provide your body with the stuff it needs to rebuild it's cells better than before.
      My impression so far...is that it really IS!

      Check it out at: http://quantumwellnessbotanicalinstit...
      click on products and look for ReJuvination

        thanks...i also went into naturopathic practices 20 yeaars ago...i am raw vegan and grow most of what i eat...i juice 2 ozs of wheatgrass every morning...sometimes in the late afternoon...and do 2 ozs up where the sun don't shine once a week....no meat...no chicken...no fish...no dairy..i also have not had the flu or a cold for over 15 yrs...

          I use the bloodtype diet, (http://right4yourtype.com), it changed my life and would have calmed an overactive thyroid had I known I was eating the wrong foods. (just think how much money I would have not getting speeding tickets!) I am O and clean red meat is like a medicine for me but not very good for the other blood types. You might want to check it out to make sure your doing the right things for Your body.
          I've seen with some people, just getting away from processed foods and tainted meats improves their health but later symptoms show up that suggest that they need some of the clean foods they gave up.
          Sometimes also, just getting away from allopathic treatments makes a big difference.
          Just an FYI with good intentions.

            kale is 40% protein with zero fat....as is spinach...i get all my enzymes and vitamins in my 16 oz green drink after the 2 ozs of wheatgrass....i have prostate of a 30 yr old man according to my doctor...cancer thrives on sugar...hates oxygen...wheatgrass juice is 90% oxygen...

              Just found out that I can have wheatgrass. But with red meat...it's just not protein, I need the fats.
              For O's,( 50% of the population)...the lamestream has got it wrong. Granted we don't need the fat laced meat, factory meats have but we do need the fats we can only get from clean lean meat.
              I do juicing from time to time Too. I just get bored...my hyper body does also.
              My prostate is doing well too and while I just wrote that, I'm looking for wood to knock...
              I had to start Life all over again after 2009 and it's way to exciting to go now...that too, might be the key to long life?
              Live long and prosper my friend.

    "Because of their time spent in Earth’s upper atmosphere, aircrew in the aviation industry are exposed to nearly double the radiation levels of ground-based individuals." For those of us who fly only a few times a year, the increase in overall risk from radiation exposure is probably negligible.

      Correct...unless you have a sever health risk, then it doesn't matter how many times you fly but when and where you fly.
      Problem: We still don't have a timely, accurate global wide system to rely on here, not to mention awareness of the problem. I have seen a lot of articles on this subject lately and it does seem that some scientist and NASA are working on it but I wouldn't expect anything soon.

    Any aerospace company with a high altitude aircraft in mind should plan on incorporating "low-Z" materials as a form of shielding which is not as reactive to high speed particle impact. Otherwise we'll be seeing more unfortunate effects.

      Aluminum, carbon and polyethylene are top picks.
      Molecules must be very small and tight. Do not know how carbon or polyethylene would stand up to high heat...for this purpose aluminum is out of the question.

        The low-Z materials would be an internal, possibly multilayer material. That would argue on behalf of an outer carbon layer, since any heat transfer from the outer aircraft
        skin would be best handled by carbon.
