What Does Radiation Do to Your Body?
Radiation is a type of energy. Frequent exposure to even small amounts of radiation could result in the onset of some of the symptoms of radiation sickness. These symptoms may include:
Over time, there could be long-term effects of radiation exposure that may include:
- Loss of white blood cells.
- A reduction in platelets.
- Anemia.
- Fertility problems.
- Changes in kidney function.
Fetuses and children are at particular risk of radiation sickness because their cells divide rapidly, and radiation can disrupt that process. There is also some correlation between excess radiation exposure and an increased risk of cancer. Although the risk is certainly higher when a person is exposed to a large amount of radiation at one time, the cumulative effects of low radiation can’t be ignored.
How Radiation affects us?
Radiation is the energy that travels as a wave or particle.
Radiation can be categorized into non-ionizing or ionizing depending on the radiated particle’s energy. Radioactive materials that emit α, β, or γ radiation are the common sources of ionizing radiation; visible light, microwaves, and infrared light are the common sources of non-ionizing radiation.
Both types of radiation are harmful to health, but ionizing radiation is more harmful.
About half of the ionizing radiation, we’re exposed to comes from nature. It’s in rock, soil, and the atmosphere. The other half comes from man-made sources such as medical tests and treatments and nuclear power plants.
There is always a risk of damage to the cells or tissue from being exposed to any amount of ionizing radiation. Over time, exposure to radiation may cause cancer and other health problems.
Different types of radiation include: 
- Electromagnetic radiation such as radio waves, heat, X-rays, gamma radiation, and even visible light
- Particle radiation such as alpha radiation, neutron radiation, and beta radiation
- Acoustic radiation such as seismic waves, sound, and ultrasound
- Gravitational radiation
- Cellular (mobile) phones radiation etc.
What is radiation therapy?
Radiation therapy, or radiotherapy, is a common oncologic treatment modality utilizing ionizing radiation to control or eliminate the malignant cells. Radiotherapy may be used alone or synergistically with chemotherapy or immunotherapy. The type of radiation therapy used depends on the disease and specific type of cancer being treated.
Radiotherapy plays a part in
- Primary curative treatment (head and neck cancer).
- Adjuvant therapy (reducing the recurrence rate after local breast cancer surgery).
- Palliation of cancer symptoms (reducing pain from bone metastases).
- Treating non-malignant disease such as Graves’ thyroiditis and keloid scarring.
There are no good estimates of how many of these patients will develop complications due to radiation therapy.
Common general side effects of radiation therapy:
- Tiredness
- Ulcers in the mouth and stomach
- Nausea and vomiting
- Radiation dermatitis/Erythema
- Hair loss
- Low blood cell count
- Diarrhea
- Skin rash or sores
- Infertility
- Kidney damage
- Liver damage
The reason radiation therapy does works is that it damages the DNA of the not only bad cells but of normal/healthy cells too. Rapidly dividing cells, such as cancer cells, are more affected by radiation therapy than normal cells.
Homeopathic Treatment of Radiation’s Sid effects
Homeopathic/complementary/alternative medicine (HCAM) is used by 35%-60% of the general population of developed, modern and industrialized nations.
Small sample size precludes definitive answers, but results from many preliminary trials suggest that Homeopathy is of great value in the treatment of cancers and their symptoms and improving quality of life, especially in those patients not on chemical drugs like tamoxifen etc. Larger studies should be carried out.

Double-blind clinical trial
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of Belladonna 7cH and X-ray 15cH associated in the treatment of acute radiodermatitis. A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial involving 66 patients who had been operated on for breast cancer and were undergoing radiotherapy was conducted. The following parameters were assessed over ten weeks: breast skin color, warmth, swelling and pigmentation.
The efficacy of the treatment was assessed by the comparison of these parameters taken individually and by calculating an Index of Total Severity (sum of the scores of the four parameters) during radiotherapy, and during recovery, 15 and 30 d after the end of the radiotherapy.
The differences of the scores of the Index of Total Severity during Radiotherapy were not statistically significant, but showed a trend towards a better activity of the homoeopathic medicine compared to placebo. Analysis of the data on Total Severity during recovery, showed a statistically significant benefit of the active medicines over placebo. The homeopathic medicines had particular effectiveness on the heat of the skin.
A Pilot, Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Individualized Homeopathy for Symptoms of Estrogen Withdrawal in Breast-Cancer Survivors
Objective: To pilot an investigation of individualized homeopathy for symptoms of estrogen withdrawal in breast cancer survivors.
Design: Randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial.
Setting: Outpatient department of a National Health Service (NHS) homeopathic hospital.
Participants: Fifty-seven (57) women met inclusion criteria and 53 were randomized to the study.
Intervention: After 2 weeks of baseline assessment, all participants received a consultation plus either oral homeopathic medicine or placebo, assessed every 4 weeks for 16 weeks.
Outcome measures: The primary outcome measures were the activity score and profile score of the Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile (MYMOP).
Results: Eighty-five percent (85%) (45/53) of women completed the study. There was no evidence of a difference seen between groups for either activity (adjusted difference =–0.4, 95% confidence interval CI –1.0 to 0.2, p = 0.17) or profile scores (adjusted difference = –0.4, 95% CI –0.9 to 0.1, p = 0.13) using this trial design, although post hoc power calculations suggests that 65–175 would be needed per group to detect differences of this magnitude with sufficient precision. Clinically relevant improvements in symptoms and mood disturbance were seen for both groups over the study period.
Conclusion: Improvements were seen for symptom scores over the study period. However, presuming these improvements were caused by the individualized homeopathic approach, the study failed to show clearly that the specific effect of the remedy added further to the nonspecific effects of the consultation. Future trial design must ensure adequate power to account for the nonspecific impact of such complex individualized interventions while pragmatic designs may more readily answer questions of clinical and cost effectiveness.
Phase III Randomized Trial of Calendula Officinalis Compared With Trolamine for the Prevention of Acute Dermatitis During Irradiation for Breast Cancer
The effectiveness of nonsteroidal topical agents for the prevention of acute dermatitis during adjuvant radiotherapy for breast carcinoma has not been demonstrated. The goal of this study was to compare the effectiveness of calendula (Pommade au Calendula par Digestion; Boiron Ltd, Levallois-Perret, France) with that of trolamine (Biafine; Genmedix Ltd, France), which is considered in many institutions to be the reference topical agent.
Patients and Methods
Between July 1999 and June 2001, 254 patients who had been operated on for breast cancer and who were to receive postoperative radiation therapy were randomly allocated to application of either trolamine (128 patients) or calendula (126 patients) on the irradiated fields after each session. The primary end point was the occurrence of acute dermatitis of grade 2 or higher. Prognostic factors, including treatment modalities and patient characteristics, were also investigated. Secondary end points were the occurrence of pain, the quantity of topical agent used, and patient satisfaction.
Results
The occurrence of acute dermatitis of grade 2 or higher was significantly lower (41% v 63%; P < .001) with the use of calendula than with trolamine. Moreover, patients receiving calendula had less frequent interruption of radiotherapy and significantly reduced radiation-induced pain. Calendula was considered to be more difficult to apply, but self-assessed satisfaction was greater. Body mass index and adjuvant chemotherapy before radiotherapy after lumpectomy were significant prognostic factors for acute dermatitis.
