Radioactive Isotopes
Also known as: Radioisotopes
Description
Radioactive Isotopes are Isotopes of chemical elements (usually Minerals) that emit the Electromagnetic and Ionizing Radiation associated with Radioactivity.
Toxic Effects of Radioactive Isotopes
Electromagnetic Radiation
Excessive exposure to Radioactive Isotopes may cause Radiation Sickness.
These Substances may Protect the Body against the Toxic Effects of Radioactive Isotopes
Carbohydrates
Apple Pectin may facilitate the elimination of Cesium Radioactive Isotopes from the body. [1]
Minerals
Calcium (when combined with Magnesium) may eliminate some of the Radioactive Isotopes which may be lodged in the Bones.
Potassium may decrease the body's absorption of some types of Radioactive Isotopes.
These Foods may Minimize the Toxic Effects of Radioactive Isotopes
Algae
Spirulina may reduce the quantity of Radioactive Isotopes absorbed into the body and may thereby help to counteract the toxic effects of exposure to Radioactivity. [2]
Mineral Supplements
Bentonite Clay (consumed in Water) may adsorb Radioactive Isotopes within the digestive tract.
Conventional Medical Usage of Radioactive Isotopes
Immune System
Some types of Radioactive Isotopes (e.g. Cobalt-60 and Iodine-161) are employed as the modus operandi for delivering Radiation Therapy to Cancer patients.
Types of Radioactive Isotopes
