by Cassie B., Natural News: CT scans may cause 5% of future U.S. cancer cases, with 103,000 cancers projected from 2023 scans alone. A single abdominal CT delivers radiation equal to 1,000 chest X-rays, with children facing 10 times higher cancer risks than adults. Experts warn of profit-driven overuse, with 93 million scans performed annually […]

Approximately 103,000 people in the USA, including nearly 10,000 children, who were examined in the X-ray tube in 2023, thus get cancer sometime later in life. The reason for this is the X-rays in the CT. They can damage body cells in such a way that they degenerate. However…
