Glutathione is is your main detoxifier and antioxidant. regards, Dunan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hi , If I was you, I'd have come to the same conclusions that you have. I don't think one xray here or there will cause any problems but regular xrays cannot be good for anyone. It's a double edge sword though because without the scans, you can't know what's going on inside your body which could potentially save your life if they find something operable. On the other hand, all that radiation opens you up to potential problems later. In your case, I'm sure the radiation didn't help you but then it doesn't explain how most of us got CML. I didn't even have dental xrays before I was diagnosed so I certainly can't blame any radiation for my CML. I find it especially frustrating not knowing what caused my disease because I can't identify anything in particular to avoid.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 ; You x-rayed but i didn't. Or there are people x-rayed more then you but living very very healty. I used to smoke but there are people here who never smoked. I have friends smoking very much but very healthy. I think we have CML because this is our destiny. God wants it that way. Dont try to blame yourself or anyone or anything. Its our destiny to fight.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 That's about right. To be picky we are talking about electromagnetic radiation. There are other kinds of energy propagation (the sound is the propagation of mechanical energy). Sorry, I used to teach some of that stuff :-) More seriously, like most documents about cancer and radiation, it goes a bit quickly on the kind of irradiation. There are two very different cases. One is when somebody is subjected to radiation without being in physical contact with the radioactive element (like when you get a ct-scan or radiation therapy). In that case the irradiation stops as soon as the person is taken away from the radiation source. The second case is when somebody is contaminated by radioactive material (like fallout of a nuclear explosion, fallout from Tchernobil, etc), either he absorbs it in the food and water or he inhales radioactive dust or gas (like isotopes of iodine or natural radon). In that case the irradiation will persist as long as the radioactive element is active (or a significant amount of it), which depends on the half life of decay (days to 100s million years), and how long the element stays in the body. If it is a heavy metal like uranium, a lot of it is fixed in bones and organs. Because of the latter how much a given element is radioactive (and what kind of radiation) is not enough to say it is harmless or dangerous. The instant radiation in a ct-scan is stronger than having a bit of uranium dust here and there in the body, but the risk of getting a cancer is far superior in the second case because of the length of exposure and the fact that the radioactive elements are next to the cells inside the body.
