Question from Stacey
Hi Debra,
I have had a good deal of radiation exposure from past medical examinations – many different x-rays, and the one that scares me most is the abdominal/pelvic CT scan I had 10 years ago. Of course back then I did not realize how dangerous/high the radiation exposure was (since I was following doctors’ recommendations), but now I really worry. Is there anything I can do now to remove/reverse harmful radiation exposure? Can the zeolite drops help now from exposure 10 years ago? My 4 year old daughter also had a chest x-ray at 18 months. Would you recommend giving her zeolite drops for a certain period?
Thanks so much!
Debra’s Answer
YES, taking PureBody Liquid Zeolite CAN help your body detox from X-ray and CT scan exposure.
I contacted Touchstone Essentials for confirmation, and here is their reply…
When a person is exposed to radiation, the source is important to understand the inherent risk to exposure. The three types of radiation are:
- Alpha Particles – An alpha particle can be considered as a helium nucleus. Helium has 2 protons and 2 neutrons in its nucleus. If both of its electrons were removed, the result would be an alpha particle. Since there are two protons and no electrons, alpha particles are positively charged. Alpha particles are not very penetrating. Paper, clothing or a few centimeters of air can effectively shield against alpha particles. However, if ingested or inhaled, alpha particles can be hazardous.
- Beta Particles – Beta particles are high-speed electrons emitted from the nuclei of decaying radioisotopes. Since these are electrons, they have a negative charge and a small mass, approximated as 0 amu. Beta particles may travel 2 or 3 meters through air. Heavy clothing, thick cardboard or one-inch thick wood will provide protection from beta radiation.
- Gamma Radiation – Gamma radiation is very much like x rays. It has no charge, a very short wavelength and high energy. Gamma radiation is the most penetrating form of radiation considered in this discussion. It travels great distances through air (500 meters). To be protected from a gamma emitter, thick sheets of lead or concrete are required.
Sunlight gives off the following types of radiation.
- electromagnetic radiation
- beta radiation – consisting of electrons
- charged atomic nucleii – of which alpha radiation (charged helium atoms) is an example (alpha particles)
- Neutrino radiation.
The electromagnetic radiation is also of four types which can all be considered Gamma radiation.
- X rays
- Ultra violet
- visible light
- infrared
Cells in the body are damaged through the process of ionization when exposed to radiation. Radiation-induced ionizations may act directly on the cellular component molecules or indirectly on water molecules, causing water-derived radicals. Radicals react with nearby molecules in a very short time, resulting in breakage of chemical bonds or oxidation (addition of oxygen atoms) of the affected molecules. The major effect in cells is DNA breaks.
What the Pure Body and Pure Body Extra Strength can do is help in the repair of the cells by removing the positively charged byproducts caused by the exposure to the radiation. While Pure Body and Pure Body Extra Strength will remove radioactive particles—think uranium ore dust or radioactive dust from White Sands Proving Grounds—that type of exposure is going to be much less likely than simple exposure to a radiation source like an x-ray or exposure to the sun. The exposure damage happens in milliseconds or thousandths of a second. The sooner you can start the repair/healing process the less likely there will be long term effects from the exposure, based on amount of course.
I’m wondering if Francine should have a consultation with a naturopath or osteopath or an MD who specializes in functional medicine.
Do you still think Waiora Natural Cellular Defense Zeolite works well?
I’m not recommending waiora at this time.
Does Zeolite liquid also remove and protect body tissues from Fukushima cesium and strontium radiation?
Yes.
Pure Body Zeolite question: What about the radiation from Fukishima? All of us living in the Northwest are being continuously exposed to this now. How will zeolite help protect us from this life-threatening problem? Will Pure Body Zeolite remove this kind of radiation from our bodies?
Thank you,
Teresa
Yes.
Would a cat scan be gamma radiation? Just how harmful are cat scans? thank you
I had cancer of the one kidney which has now been removed. I was given two cat scans. I am cancer free now but the dr wants me to get 6-8 cat scans over the next 6 yrs.
I am not sure what to do.
Thank you
I can’t advise you medically. I can only tell you cat scans are a radiation exposure.
