Radiation Side Effects
Radiation
Nausea: May occur during acute exposure.
Hair Loss: Occurs
frequently
Fatigue/Malaise:
Almost always seen.
Low Blood
Count: Reduction in certain elements of the blood is often seen following
radiation. This results from radiation exposure of bone marrow, and to a lesser
extent, direct damage to lymphocytes in the blood stream and lymph nodes.
The white
cell count will be reduced (lymphocyte) and the number of platelets will be
reduced. These drops are enough to cause clinical problems.
Organ
Specific Side Effect Symptoms: Localized reactions will occur in any tissues
exposed to radiation. Acute reactions result from radiation of skin, mucous
membranes and accessory glands.
Skin: Radiation
a reaction may develop which progresses through erythema
to dry desquamation and moist desquamation.
Mucous
Membranes: When mucous membranes are included in a radiation field similar
reactions will be experienced: Whether in the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, trachea, bowel, bladder or rectum, mucositis may develop.
As with the
skin, the mucosa is reddened at first but then may be covered with a plaque: like
fibrin similar to crusting of the skin. The mucous membrane remains moist and
the surface covered by fibrin until the underlying mucosa is healed, when the fibrinous plaque is lost and the reaction healed.
There may
be discomfort and dysphagia or cough, hoarseness and tracheitis, or dysuria and
frequency, or diarrhoea and abdominal cramps.
Accessory
Glands: The acute effects of radiation will be felt by accessory glands
producing saliva and mucous for example. This leads to a degree of stickiness,
leading to oral discomfort, dryness and change in taste, irritating cough and
discomfort, and urinary or bowel symptoms.
Late
Radiation Side Effects: The late effects of radiation treatment develop
gradually over several months or years. These results are often disastrous and
treatment extremely difficult.
Scarring:
Radiation
results in increased connective tissue, fibrosis and scarring often associated
with atrophy of accessory tissues. This leads to some increased rigidity of
tissues, less suppleness and less resistance to injury.
In
addition, the walls of small blood vessels may be thickened and distorted,
leading to reduction in blood supply to some tissues.
Carcinogenicity:
Radiation
is one of the causes of cancer. Very rarely leukemia
may result some 5 - 20 years after radiation exposure, due to bone marrow cells
being damaged during radiation.
Genetic
Effects:
Exposure of
the gonads to radiation increases the risk of abnormal mutations and genetic
changes. Most chromosome damage from radiation results in a failure of
conception and not an abnormal child. Even if both parents have been exposed to
radiation, the risks of abnormal children being produced are so small as to be
almost negligible. Late genetic effects in the individual are much less
important than the increased risk of inducing cancer or the late vascular
changes produced by radiation.

her in the dream: "Granite is always
appropriate

undergone a metamorphosis. Look at Limestone and Marble. They are both calcium
carbonate. The
intense
heat and pressure when Granite is forming turns Limestone to Marble. Although
Marble is calcium, it is metamorphic calcium. When people are close to a major
radioactive disaster

Chernobyl, there is at first an intense infernal heat, and gradually their

their original state, and as such, they
need
Marble, which is the most similar. Look at the children, their pallor, their
translucence just like white marble. Marble crumbles from the inside-the shine
on the outside holds it together.
The same
happens to people affected by high levels of radiation, they disintegrate from

Apple Pectin: Removal of Radionuclides
from the Body
“The
curative-like use of apple-pectin food additives might be especially helpful
for effective decorporation of Cesium-137. From 1996
to 2007 a total of more than 160.000 Belarussian
children (Tschernobyl) received pectin food additives during 18 - 25
days of treatment (5 g 2x daily). As a result, levels of Cesium-137 in
children’s organs decreased after each course
of pectin
additives by an average of 30 to 40%”.
Manufacture
and application of various pectin-based food additives and drinks (using
apples, currants, grapes, seaweed) is one of the most effective ways for
individual radioprotection
(through decorporation) under circumstances where consumption of
radioactively contaminated food is unavoidable.

Iodine Supplements
Radiation-induced
thyroid cancer
Radioactive
iodine, especially 131I, may be released into the environment as a result of
nuclear reactor accidents. Thyroid accumulation of radioactive iodine increases
the risk of developing thyroid cancer, especially in
children.
The increased iodine trapping activity of the thyroid gland in iodine
deficiency results in increased thyroid accumulation of radioactive iodine
(131I). Thus, iodine-deficient individuals are at increased risk of
developing
radiation-induced thyroid cancer because they will accumulate greater amounts
of radioactive iodine. Potassium iodide administered in pharmacologic doses
(50-100 mg for adults) within 48 hours before or 8
hours after
radiation exposure from a nuclear reactor accident can significantly reduce
thyroid uptake of 131I and decrease the risk of radiation-induced thyroid
cancer. The prompt and widespread use of potassium iodide prophylaxis in Poland
after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear
reactor
accident may explain the lack of a significant increase in childhood thyroid
cancer in Poland compared to fallout areas where potassium iodide prophylaxis
was not widely used. In the U.S., the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
requires that consideration be given to potassium iodide as a protective
measure for the general public in the case of a major release of radioactivity
from a
nuclear power plant.

When the

70% were completely protected from the damaging effects. Dr. Patchen also suggested that beta-1,3-glucan

considered as an effective way of rebuilding the immune system and preventing
infection following chemotherapy and radiation in cancer treatment. Dr. Patchen further suggested that beta-1,3-glucan appears to
work as a

Abstract –
The present study aimed to evaluate the radioprotective
efficacy of green tea polyphenols and the component
ingredients against irradiated-induced damage in mice and
elucidate
the underlying mechanisms. GTP and its
bioactive components (catechin, epigallocatechin
and epigallocatechin-3-gallate) assisted in decreasing the leukocytopenia
seen
after whole
mice irradiation and significantly reduced the elevated serum inflammatory
cytokines (TNF-?, IL-1?, and IL-6). Green tea polyphenols
have a potential to be developed
as radioprotective agents against irradiated-induced toxicity.

Protection
against ionizing radiation by antioxidant nutrients and phytochemicals

Results
from animal experiments indicate that antioxidant nutrients, such as vitamin E
and selenium compounds, are protective against lethality and other radiation
effects but to a lesser
degree than
most synthetic protectors. Some antioxidant nutrients and phytochemicals
have the advantage of low toxicity although they are generally protective when
administered at
pharmacological
doses. Naturally occurring antioxidants also may provide an extended window of
protection against low-dose, low-dose-rate irradiation, including therapeutic
potential
when
administered after irradiation. A number of phytochemicals,
including caffeine, genistein, and melatonin, have
multiple physiological effects, as well as antioxidant activity, which result
in
radioprotection in vivo.

Abstract – The radioprotective
effect of miso, a fermentation product from soy bean,
was investigated with reference to the survival time, crypt survival and
jejunum crypt length in
male B6C3F1
mice. Miso at three different fermentation stages
(early-, medium- and long-term fermented miso) was
mixed in MF diet into biscuits at 10% and was administered from 1 week
before
irradiation. Animal survival in the long-term fermented miso
group was significantly prolonged as compared with the short-term fermented miso and MF cases after 8 Gy of
60Co-gamma-ray
irradiation at a dose rate of 2Gy min(-1). Delay in mortality was evident in
all three miso groups, with significantly increased
survival. At doses of 10 and 12 Gy
X-irradiation
at a dose rate of 4 Gy min(-1), the treatment with
long-term fermented miso significantly increased
crypt survival. Also the protective influence against irradiation in terms of
crypt
lengths in the long-term fermented miso group was
significantly greater than in the short-term or medium-term fermented miso and MF diet groups.
Thus,
prolonged fermentation appears to be very important for protection against
radiation effects.

primarily into bone following internal deposition. Alginic
acid (alginate) obtained from seaweed (kelp)
