The ratio of “intrinsic radiosensitivity” to “repair capability” of a specified tissue (in
units of Gy). This ratio is large (>8 Gy) for rapidly proliferating tissues and most tumors. It is small (<6 Gy) for slowly proliferating tissues, including late normal-tissue complications. This difference is vital for the success of radiotherapy. When beta (β) is large, both mis-repair and good-repair are high. It is the mis-repair that causes the cell survival curve to bend downward [1]. It is the "dose for which the number of acutely responding cell deaths is equal to the number of late-responding cell deaths (the dose for which the linear and quadratic components of cell death are equal). (...) The α/β ratio may differ among tumor types" [2]. It is the fractionation factor [13]. For skin tumors, the α/β for 90% control rate is 13.8 Gy [3].

My name is Stephanie Brown I had Rectum effect and I was so worried am I going to die soon. I made my search on herbal remedy for rectum effect, then I found lots of testimonies on how Dr James Herbal Medicine cured diseases like Rectum effects, intestine damage, bowel obstruction, Ovarian disease, Cancer, hypothyroidism, Herpes, COPD, HIV, Arthritis, Lyme disease,Hpv, Infections,Liver Disease, Autoimmune Diseases, Parkinson's disease,Lupus,Nephrology and Hypertension, Neurology, Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Women's Health, Oncology, Pediatrics, Pulmonary, ACUTE MYELOFIBROSIS, ALZHEIMER's symptoms, BREAST CANCER, DIABETES, HAIR LOSS AND HAIR TREATMENT, KIDNEY DISEASES, LEUKEMIA, MYELOID LEUKEMIA, STEM CELL TREATMENT , On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr James As a man with Good Heart, I picked interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instructed me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I received His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 weeks of drinking his medicine, I went for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small fraction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.
