Osteoarthritis (the degeneration of cartilage) affects 1 in 7 Americans. Now, low-dose therapeutic radiation (LD-RT) provides a non-invasive and cost-effective treatment option that offers significant pain relief with minimal side effects. LD-RT has a long and impressive track record extending back more than 125 years. “In the clinical setting of Europe, it has been used uninterrupted for
the past 60 years,” says RBOI founder Dr. Norman Anderson. “In Europe, over 85% of treatment facilities have offered low-dose therapeutic radiation for non-cancer conditions,” including plantar fascitis, trochanteric (hip) bursitis, medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow), lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), and various tendinopathies. A single course of treatment for osteoarthritis is 60% to 90% effective and can be repeated to improve results.
For people living with cancer, the most priceless gifts can be those that aren’t bought. Paying attention to someone’s specific needs is just as important.

Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening can reduce lung cancer deaths by up to 20% compared to standard chest X-rays, by detecting tumors at early stages when they are more
likely to be curable.
The United States Preventive Services Task Force recommends lung cancer screening for anyone age 50 to 80 who has smoked for 20 pack years or more, and who currently smokes or has quit within the past 15 years. A pack year is equal to smoking 20 cigarettes (1 pack) a day each year.
A pack year is different from a calendar year. Smoking a pack a day for 20 years equals 20 pack years, but so does smoking two packs a day for 10 years.
