Greetings
        I would like to respectfully suggest that whenever anyone uses terms that the general reader is not familiar with, like "diffusion theory" and "hormetic effect" -- that they include a definition and/or references.

        I spent a good deal of time this afternoon trying to find out if the "hormetic effect" is a widely accepted scientific theory or not. I now have a list of names to contact -- you see, I'm still not done yet.
