Radiation Exposure Treatment
You can detox radiation naturally if it is in small quantities.
Radiation exposure treatment methods may be better for certain symptoms of radiation sickenss. Radiation prevention products are available, and you should only invest in the highest quality.
No product is a 100% radiation cure. They are all preventative, but can be very beneficial in reducing cancer-causing agents in radiation.
Everyone is concerned about the effects of nuclear radiation.
Unfortunately, once symptoms of radiation sickness are evident, it may be too late.
Not eating contaminated food, taking a radiation pill containing stable iodide and avoiding contaminated water are all essential to minimize radiation side effects.
Another proactive radiation exposure treatment is to minimize the amount of radiation in your immediate environment. A multi-tech air purifier will effectively eliminate contaminants from the air and has a germicidal UV light.
If you are unsure of your water quality, it is recommended that you pre-treat it before using with Polar Pure Water Disinfectant With Iodine Crystals. Radiation is easily absorbed into groundwater and must be treated before consuming.
How to Reduce the Harmful Effects of Radiation
Radiation exposure treatment is best done as a preventative method. Even with the best prevention though, we sometimes cannot avoid all of the effects of exposure to radiation.
Potassium Iodide Radiation Pill
Postassium Idodide is the standard preventative treatment for radiation exposure. It is not a cure, but is a very effective means of preventing damage to the thyroid.
The reason for taking a precautionary radiation pill is that radioactive iodine will get into a person's lymphatic system.
Once there, the risk of thyroid cancer is significantly increased. As well, those cells divide rapidly, so once the damage is done, the cancer spreads quickly.
Some people are under the misconception that using iodized table salt will offer protection as a radiation exposure treatment. That is not true. There is very little value in increasing your sodium intake, except to have higher blood pressure!
It is important to note that a potassium iodide pill is not a cure. It is an effective protective measure for your thyroid, but there are other drugs that can be used. This is good to note because many people tend to panic and hoard iodide tablets.
One source that is currently still available is Iodoral 50mg 90 tabs. Iodoral is a tablet containing 20mg iodine and 30mg iodide as the potassium salt, making it an ideal preventative radiation exposure treatment.
DTPA This is a chelating agent. It will bind and hold radiation in the body then pass it out through the urine. Any chelating agent will lessen the amount of time a toxin is in the body.
Chelating agents were actually first developed during World War II as a means to help cleanse mustard gas from the body and lessen radiation side effects. Interestingly, this was also the time that chemotherapy was developed as a by-product of mustard gas.
It is only FDA approved for contamination from curium, plutonium and curium and is administered as a drip or direct injection. Ca-DTPA is made from calcium, and it more effective than Zn-DTPA, which is made from zinc. DTPA can interfere with the body's ability to make red and white blood fells, as well as platelets. Zinc supplements are essential for anyone receiving treatment with DTPA.
