Radiation is
used in medicine, to generate electricity, to make food last longer, to
sterilize equipment, for carbon dating of archeological finds, and many other
reasons.
Ionizing radiation happens when the atomic nucleus of an
unstable atom decays and starts releasing ionizing particles.
When these particles come into contact with organic material,
such as human tissue, they will damage them if levels are high enough, in a
short period of time. This can lead to burns, problems with the blood,
gastrointestinal system, cardiovascular and central nervous system, cancer, and sometimes death.
Radiation is normally managed safely, but its use also entails a
risk.
If an accident happens, for example, the earthquake in
Fukushima, Japan, in 2011, or the explosion at Chernobyl, Ukraine in 1986,
radiation can become dangerous.
Fast facts on
radiation sickness:
Here are some key points about radiation sickness. More detail
is in the main article.
Radiation is all around us and it is used safely in many
applications.
Nuclear accidents, the work environment, and some medical treatment
can all be sources of radiation poisoning.
Depending on the dose, the effects of radiation can be mild or
life-threatening.
There is no cure, but barriers can prevent exposure and some
medications may remove some radiation from the body.
Anyone who believes they have been exposed to radiation should
seek medical attention as soon as possible.
What is radiation sickness?
Radiation poisoning happens when a radioactive substance gives
off particles that get into a person's body and cause harm. Different radioactive
substances have different characteristics. They can harm and help people in
different ways, and some are more dangerous than others.
Normally, radiation occurs in a safe environment. Whether or not
it becomes dangerous depends on:
how it is used
how strong it is
how often a person is exposed
what type of exposure occurs
how long exposure lasts
A dose of radiation from a single x-ray is not normally harmful.
Nevertheless, the parts of the body that are not being x-rayed will be shielded
with a lead apron to prevent unnecessary exposure.
The technician, meanwhile, will leave the room when taking the
image. While one small dose is not dangerous, repeated small doses could be.
A sudden, short, low dose of radiation is unlikely to cause a
problem, but extended, intense, or repeated doses can be. When radiation
damages cells, it is irreversible. The more often a person is exposed, the
greater their risk of health problems.
How much radiation is dangerous?
Radiation dosage can measured in
various ways. Some of the units used are Grays, Sieverts, rems, and rads. They
are used in a similarway,
but 0.1 rad is equivalent to 100 Gray.
Below 30 rads: Mild symptoms will occur in the blood
From 30 to 200 rads: The person may become ill.
From 200 to 1,000 rads: The person may become seriously ill.
Over 1,000 rads: This will be fatal.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), radiation sickness, or acute radiation syndrome (ARS) is diagnosed when:
A person receives over 70 rads from a source outside their body
The dose affects the whole body, or most of it, and is able to
penetrate to the internal organs
The dose is received in a short time, usually within minutes
A person who experiences an atomic explosion will receive two
doses of radiation, one during the explosion, and another from fallout, when
radioactive particles float down after the explosion.
Symptoms
Radiation sickness can be acute, happening soon after exposure,
or chronic, where symptoms appear over time or after some time, possibly years
later.
The signs and symptoms of acute radiation poisoning are:
- vomiting, diarrhea, and nausea
- loss of appetite
- malaise, or feeling unwell
- headache
- rapid heartbeat
Symptoms depend on the dose, and whether it is a single dose or
repeated.
A dose of as low as 30 rads can lead to:
- loss of white blood cells
- nausea and vomiting
- headaches
- A dose of 300 rads dose may result in:
- temporary hair loss
- damage to nerve cells
- damage to the cells that line the digestive tract
Stages of radiation sickness
Symptoms of severe radiation poisoning will normally go through
four stages.
Prodomal stage: Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, lasting from a few minutes to
several days
Latent stage: Symptoms
seem to disappear, and the person appears to recover
Overt stage: Depending
on the type of exposure, this can involve problems with the cardiovascular,
gastrointestinal, hematopoietic, and central nervous system (CNS)
Recovery or death: There may be a slow recovery, or the poisoning will be fatal.
Hematopoietic stem cells, or bone marrow cells, are the
cells that all other blood cells derive from.
Different doses, different effects
The risk of illness depends on the dose. Very low doses of
radiation are all around us all the time, and they do not have any effect. It
also depends on the area of the body that is exposed.
If the whole body is exposed to, say, 1,000 rads within a short
time, this could be fatal. However, far higher doses can be applied to a small
area of the body with less risk.
After a mild dose, the person may experience symptoms for just a
few hours or days. However, a repeated or even a single, relatively low dose
that produces few or no visible symptoms around the time of exposure may cause
problems later on.
A person who is exposed to 3,000 rads will experience nausea and
vomiting, and they may experience confusion and a loss of consciousness within
a few hours. Tremors and convulsions will occur 5 to 6 hours after exposure.
Within 3 days, there will be coma and death.
People who experience repeated doses, or who appear to recover,
may have long-term effects.
These include:
- a loss of white blood cells, making it harder for the body to fight infection
- reduction in platelets, increasing the risk of internal or external bleeding
- fertility problems, including loss of menstruation and reduced libido
- changes in kidney function, which can lead to anemia, high blood pressure, and other problems within a few months
There may also be skin redness, cataracts, and heart problems.
Localized exposure may lead to changes in the skin, loss of
hair, and possibly skin cancer.
Exposure to certain parts of the body is more dangerous than
others, for example, the intestines.
The effects of radiation are cumulative. Damage to cells is
irreversible.

Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,psoriasis,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
