A recent report, published in November in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that the radiation from current CT-scan use ? estimated at more than 62 million CT scans per year in the U.S. (up from 3 million in 1980) ? may cause of as many as 1 in 50 future cases of cancer. It's a serious charge.

Now make it a constant EM field in your house and tell me it's safe.

A CT scan is completely different than an MRI. CT scans have quite a bit of radiation in them, whereas MRI's do not.

edit: from your article:

CT scans were largely upstaged by the vastly more complex ? but radiation-free ? MRI scan.

I better get off my ass and get my SHTF bag together.

Anybody remember an article from a couple months ago along the same lines as this one, but with 'power beams' instead, that could be directed and aimed?

I don't know how safe it would be.
But there are lots of photos of Tesla sitting in his lab with millions of volts flowing through the air and him sitting there like its nothing. And he lived to be pretty old.

There must be a way to weaponize this.
