Understanding Radiation Therapy - part 1

[ArtCastro85]

How can anyone believe that radiation on your body will improve your health? Imagine if radiation came in a pill form and it was advertised all over the media, we'd be TOAST

[danielshapes]

@ArtCastro85 it does actually come in a pill and its routine procedure done in nuclear medicine, yes it is damaging but the benefits outweigh the risk like all medical procedures.

I am thinking about becoming a radiation therapist, but I don't know if there is a good job market for this career.

[elpinta]

Lovelywhite, I was 30 when I started Radiography school. It was the best move I ever made. Go for it, be persistent, and GOOD LUCK!

[lovelywhite1984]

I am 25. I begin to like CT tech. Is it too late to start to learn Medical Radiation Science?

[ycuy]

I am 46. Is it too late for me too become a Rock Star. Just go for it lovelywhite 1984.

It's never too late.

[DreBull1]

Not at all, you can get an associates in 2 years, and for most clinics that is enough.

[jackiechula]

Radiation??? What are you radiating?

Electromagnetic Energy? Particles? If

its electro its got to be super high frequency.

HOW HIGH? Gamma Rays? X rays? Well that

stuff causes cancer. But you don't tell

anyone that stuff. Your pseudo medical

practices are dangerous. Killing healthy

cells every day to get a few malignant

ones puts more patients in the grave than

it saves. But it pays well. Right?

You must be really dum, or just a boy with very little knowlage. This treatment saves a great amount of people every year. Most people will die if they dont get the tratment, which mostly is gamma rays. Ask you're teacher or a docktor you dumb kid.

[Avialle80]

@19andr1 what if you were born 300 years later? your doc and teacher would laugh about the stuff in this video.. 300 years sooner? your teacher and doc would tell you very weird things about the world and healing.. do you really think now is the real wisdom and truth? you can trust the docs, pharmacists, teachers and scientists just like ppl did 1000 of years, they never were wrong, right? ;)

i guess we still know little about the real world, but thats just my opinion.

Have a nice Day :)

JCPUTT you are revealing your ignorance on this subject. I suggest you learn a little more about radiation therapy before you call it fake medicine.

[Sanosuke004]

lol.. you have no idea of how radiation therapy works until you actually go through it, like myself - I am going through this next week to treat cancer in the bottom side of my right jaw bone.

[Avialle80]

@JCPUTT thanks, when people start to realize (I'm in doubt they ever will, media and lobby will do their work.) , i wouldn't want to be a doc/scientist/pharmacist.

[mogseymoo]

@JCPUTT you have no idea what you are talking about - radiotherapy doesnt kill healthy cells it kills unhealthy cells i.e. cancer cells and no it doesnt particularly pay well. Try understanding what you are commenting on first. It is not a dangerous pratice - in fact Radiotherapy is the treatment of choice for many and has a high success rate. What an idiot

[ArtCastro85]

Radiotherapy killed my grandfather. There are deadly symptoms that come with it. This is all a business to these so-called doctors. If the patients survive the radiation, they'll call the them a "survivor" after they've been weakened and fried. Anjd if not then obviously they'll blame it on the cancer.

[procommenter]

Radiation is damaging to cells. Healing cells {trophoblasts} are dispatched where they're needed. A person who is deficient in vitamin B17 hasn't an immune system that's capable of controlling the healing process. See "A World Without Cancer." Follow govt.-sanctioned medicine & die.

[Bozios]

Yes, Radiation can kill a heathy cell, but healthy cells have a recovery mechanism than allows then to recover quiclier than cancer cells...thats the general basis of radiation therapy

[procommenter]

Radiation sickness is the hallmark of approved cancer "therapy": red, irritated skin; nausea; hair-loss; brain damage. The damage wrought by radio waves adds to a patient's misery.

[Bozios]

Radiation sickness occurs only when part of the stomach is irradiated. Skin erythema goes away after a couple of weeks and if the the treatment is done right might not be present at all. Temporary hair loss is the price at the irradiation site is the price patients have to pay but massive hair loss is due to chemotherapy and not radiotherapy. People are saved by this either you like it or not
