Could Embracing the Possible Health Benefits of Toxicity Persuade Society to Accept Nuclear Power? Radiance Resort is a work of future fiction, it investigates a society obsessed with youth and medical miracle cures. Mammals living in the Chernobyl exclusion zone receive 8 to 15 msvs of radiation every day. When these mammals were analysed, it was found that they were less likely to develop cancer, suggesting that small amounts of radiation might be good for us.

It’s become an oasis of plants and animals. Now, many locals are sneaking in to eat the delicious radioactive fruits and mushrooms that have flourished in the absence of human inhabitation.

Many alternative medicines operate on the principle of hormesis, the idea that poisons have the opposite effect in small doses. In the 1920’s, products containing radioactive matter became very popular. “Radithor” a kind of uranium water marketed as “a cure for the living dead” sold particularly well.

At the Radiance Resort and health club, lead-oxide textile shielding creates a varied landscape of gamma radiation. A hierarchy of treatments are offered, and radiation level is indicative of exclusivity. Guests can bathe on an incinerator ash beach, indulge in some uranium enriched super-food, or enjoy a radioactive seaweed wrap. You know what they say. If it doesn’t kill you, it only makes you stronger. Check out some of the spa-licious treatments available.

A vegan diet is one that excludes the consumption of any animal products, including meat, eggs, and dairy products. In addition, some vegans also do not consume any foods processed using animal products (for instance, bone char is often used in processing refined white sugar). Vegan diets tend to be inherently green, since they rely heavily [...]
