These treatments offer a safer, more effective way to deliver radiation to children than conventional radiation therapy, which is used sparingly in children because of the risks of cognitive problems later in life.

I was told that he had developed a non-toxic therapy that was more effective than chemo or radiation on even the most aggressive cancers.

In the laboratory animal study, ursolic acid, the active compound in holy basil, combined with radiation was more effective at inducing skin cancer cell death and inhibiting new tumors from forming than radiation alone.

The goal of a surgical intervention in cancer treatment is to remove or reduce the primary cancerous tumor and allow either chemotherapy or radiation therapy to be more effective.

due to their more effective reflection / scattering of incident radiation.

The whole issue is that any level above what is often called the «effective radiating level» (say, at ~ 255 K on Earth) should start to cool as atmospheric CO2 increases, since the layers above this height are being shielded more strongly from upwelling radiation... except not quite, because convection distributes heating higher than this level, the stratosphere marks the point where convection gives out and there is high static stability.

Because CO2 makes the atmosphere more opaque to infrared radiation, and because the atmosphere gets colder as you get higher, the «effective radiation temperature» of the infrared radiation leaving the earth is made colder by increasing CO2 (fewer Watts per square meter of infrared radiation leave the top of the atmosphere).

under intense IR radiation CO2 will effective «fill up» and become saturated, unable to absorb any more until it has emitted some IR photons?

Tt is not the temperature of the «stratosphere» but rather the effective temperature at which radiation is emitted to space from the «stratosphere», and the two diverge more and more as opacity is increased.

This will clearly result in more papers trying to explain this fact on subjects such as climate sensitivity, as well as whether or not CFCs caused more warming than originally thought, radiation of heat into space as earth's effective temperature increases, and whether the saturation of absorption of EMR by CO2 in the atmosphere actually fits the logrithmic curve.
