Low-dose radiation may have a hormetic effect where the body repairs minor cellular damage and becomes stronger.

“And there's also it's controversial but there's animal studies showing there may be a hormis effect at low low doses like that”

“and in animal studies they've actually shown at very low doses we're talking about singledigit milliseceverts here that they've seen in mouse bones for example increased osteoclast activity excuse me decreased osteoclast and increased osteoplastic activity the bones actually heal quicker and some of the soft tissue as well has been has been shown to actually recuperate and much in the way you see in uh hormesis from other causes”

“The whole idea is doing some degree a small amount of cellular damage Uh when the body repairs that it actually comes back stronger than it was without the exposure in the first place and that's not something that we're I'm claiming is uh you know widely accepted but there is a lot of data showing that that is certainly a possibility”
