I've heard that oxygen can help tissue heal from the damage of radiation... like a hyperbaric chamber. But that's all I've heard so far. Any information anyone has would be helpful to me as well because I've recently had 28 radiation treatments to my brain and would love to know how to minimize the damage. Not sure if a hyperbaric chamber or treatment is in my price range!

Hey Treeluv! Here is a website for Detox Baths. The Salt & Soda Bath is for counteracting the effects of radiation.

Kelly, after the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, there was a doctor in Hiroshima who insisted his staff drink miso soup several times a day. The good doctor and his staff worked in the "hot" city, treating the injured, and they never developed radiation sickness when everyone around them did. Many Japanese still believe miso soup has some protective effect against radiation, as well as other environmental ills.

The secondary cancer caused by radiation is called sarcoma and there are several dozen sub-types of sarcoma. Sarcoma accounts for less than 1% of all adult cancers, and sarcomas that arise post-radiation account for about 5% of all sarcomas.

dear ginger,

thank you for the miso soup idea. that is something that i might be able to get him to do!
my son's cancer was pelvic rhabdomyosarcoma. since he got it when he was 7 it will always be considered a pediatric cancer, as far as what i understand. it does sound like the percentages aren't that high tho based on what you are saying.

thank you for taking the time to help me out!

with love and gratitude,

kelly

hi,here is a piece of info I just read.Purpose:clears radiation & lymphatic congestion.Dosage 2lbs of each.Duration: soak for 20-30 min in hot water,slowly letting it cool as you soak.
Broad spectrum cleansing bath: Purpose: heavy duty cleanser,clears lymphatic congestion,removes heavy metals,petro chemicals&radiation.recipe: add 1 cup apple cider vinegar,1 tbs cayenne pepper & 2 tbsp ground ginger to 4lbs of epsom salts.Duration:soak 15-30 min in hot water.Take 2 baths one week apart and shower after. Once the toxin are deposited into the colon,it is a good idea to take a herbal bowel cleanse and/or get a colon hydration treatment.you can also try the following smoothies and/or tea to help your colon release...Magical breakfast smoothie: 2 servings-136 cal/serv
1/3 cup soy protien
1/2 tbs flaxseed oil
1/4 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 large ripe banana
1/2 tsp apple juice or honey
1 tsp psyllium sed husks
This is called the bowel lubricator
A warm evening tea: bring 10oz of water to boil,add 1 level tbsp of fax seed to the boiling water & let simmer for 15 min,strain & let cool.Flavor if needed you can add a tsp of lemon juice or honey.
Hope this helps........Dawn
