Radiation Mitigation & Recovery

[seano]

What all would you recommend to someone who is going to be exposed to radiation? Both before to prepare the body and after to recover.

In this case it's radiotherapy, which they won't be talked out of.

@Stilgar - Good call. Have you collected any resources/links on this? Just to help back up the case.

- NASA - NASA Light Technology Successfully Reduces Cancer Patients Painful Side Effects from Radiation and Chemotherapy

In a two-year clinical trial, cancer patients undergoing bone marrow or stem cell transplants were given a far red/near infrared Light Emitting Diode treatment called High Emissivity Aluminiferous Luminescent Substrate, or HEALS, to treat oral mucositis -- a common and extremely painful side effect of chemotherapy and radiation treatment. The trial concluded that there is a 96 percent chance that the improvement in pain of those in the high-risk patient group was the result of the HEALS treatment.

Looks like that HEALS became "Warp 75":

- High intensity 50 mW/cm2 illuminated surface produces 4 Joules/cm2 dose in 88 seconds
- Large 75 cm2 treatment area
- Dose accuracy controlled by an electronic timing circuit (timer) with audible end of cycle alarm
- Remains cool to the touch
- Certified wavelength (670 nm) and power output • AC power
