Radium; The Epic Story That Disproves Hormesis And Medical Radiation Theory First Proposed By Madame Curie, Radium Was Banned, Why Not All Other Ionizing Radioactive Heavy Metal Poisons?
The epic story of radium
THE MIRACLE CURE, THE AGE OF MIRACLES, WHEN EVERYTHING HAD RADIUM ADDED TO IT BECAUSE IT WAS SO GOOD, AND EVERYONE USED RADIUM DUE TO IT'S CLAIMED MEDICAL BENEFITS, MIRACLE POSITIVE BENEFITS; WHY WAS IT BANNED?

What should have happened is the banning of ALL radioactive elements, not just radium, because they are all the same exact thing; toxic and poisonous, damaging all DNA that they get close to. The fact that only radium was banned and all of these other radioactive poisons that are exactly the same as radium are still touted as being beneficial and positive is testimony to the power of the nuclear industry and to the addiction to profits inside of the medical industrial complex.
'Natural' radium had so many supposed virtues, and those promoting it via the hormesis theory promised so many benefits, while attacking those who explained the dangers of it and the negative side effects. The mass media also did not report on the dangers, which meant that many millions more people were harmed by radium and it continued to be used for much longer than necessary. Those investing in radium products and services also did not want to hear about the downsides, so they resisted giving it up. After a long 70 year struggle, activists who were telling the truth about it, got through to the public, and got radium banned.

As a consequence of the efforts made to locate, measure, and follow
exposed individuals, a great deal of information about the effects of radium is
available. Nevertheless, great gaps remain in our knowledge of radium
toxicity. For example, when an adult woman, over a period of several months
or years, ingests 5,000 µCi of 226Ra or receives 1,000 µCi of 226Ra by
intravenous injection,* she has a relatively high probability (30-50%) of
developing a bone sarcoma or head carcinoma induced by internal radium,
5-50+ years later. ...

The entire radiation treatment industry has been built on the hormesis theory, which claims that things like radium can 'heal' or be beneficial to humans, despite being a radioactive heavy metal poison.
Historically, radium used to be added to things like toothpaste, food, drinking water (see picture) and hair lotions as a 'tonic' using the disproven theory of hormesis.
The hormesis promoting industry making radium and other products did it's best to discredit those warning people about the dangers of low dose radiation, just as the nuclear industry is doing the same thing these days to those activists and experts trying to warn people about the dangers of low dose radiation today.
STUDIES WITH DOGS CONFIRMS THAT THEY DIE MUCH FASTER IF GIVEN RADIUM, COMPARED TO THOSE WHO ARE NOT SUBJECTED TO THIS RADIOACTIVE POISON
After being exposed to radium, all dogs died. It was just a question of how long it took, and how much they suffered from cancer or other diseases, before they died. This is what it looks like when a bunch of beagles are killed with radioactive heavy metal poison called radium.
Remember that dogs don't get any benefit from the placebo effect, which is the power of the mind believing that a heavy metal radioactive poison can heal someone. Believing in something that is not true may make a difference for a time because the mind is powerful, but in the end, the power of NATURE is much more powerful than the mind.
The entire radiation treatment industry has been built on the hormesis theory, which claims that things like radium can 'heal' or be beneficial to humans, despite being a radioactive heavy metal poison.
NATURAL RADIUM, ONCE TOUTED AS THE MIRACLE CURE, IS NOW BANNED
Measurable radioactive radium levels in the global soil, air and water supplies have been greatly increasing since the industrial age began, largely due to uranium mining, processing and 'burning' in nuclear power plants, open air atomic bomb testing, radioactive waste disposal sites, and the burning of fossil fuels, (coal, oil, gas). Each square km of the earth now contains approximately 1 gram of radium, (to a depth of 40 cm) as a result of human 'testing', spills, accidents and use of radioactive elements.
To extract radium from the ground, over 400 tons of uranium ore has to be processed, just to get 1 gram of radium. All together, only 1.5 kilograms of radium were manufactured, before radium was banned and made illegal to sell.
RADIUM POLLUTES DRINKING WATER AND ACCUMULATE UP FOOD CHAIN
Radium levels in drinking water may be high when it is extracted from deep wells that are located near radioactive waste disposal sites. Uranium mining results in higher levels of radium in water near uranium mines. Plants absorb this radium from the soil. Animals that eat these plants will bio concentrate radium. Finally, radium may concentrate in fish and other aquatic organisms and bio magnify up the food chain.

MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL TRYING TO PROMOTE SAFE AND NATURAL BUT EXPENSIVE HORMESIS RADIATION 'CURES' TODAY
Once upon a time, when people were really gullible, radium was even added to chocolate. Imagine adding a heavy metal radioactive poison to chocolate and claiming it would heal people...
There are even those people who are still trying to be proponents of the hormesis theory today. Let's see what they are trying to peddle...

MADAME CURIE DIED OF RADIATION POISONING, DESPITE CLAIMS OF RADIATION HORMESIS THEORY
Madame Curie was the 'inventor' of the hormesis theory that ionizing radioactive heavy metal poisons could heal people. She got everyone excited so much, that radium was added to all kinds of products, and it was given as a 'medicine' to people, in water, and many other products. How did Madame Curie do herself, as she was exposed to this radioactive heavy metal poison?
The death of a famous industrialist and of Madame Curie, plus the deaths of the radium factory workers from the toxic effects of low dose radium radiation sealed the fate of radium, and it was eventually banned, but not before it caused a lot of diseases, Cancers and deaths. Even it's medical use was taken away. But why was radium banned, if it was so good for 'treating' the Big C?
But the interesting questions is this... if radium is so dangerous in even minute quantities due to the danger of low dose ionizing radiation effects that cause cancer, leukemia and other diseases, why aren't the other radioactive heavy metal poison elements also banned?
After all, it is not just radium that emits cancer causing alpha, beta and gamma radiation. So if one beta and gamma radiation emitting element is unhealthy for us and was banned from use due to cancer causing properties, what makes the others 'safe' and beneficial?
What makes all of the other 1,000 man made heavy metal radioactive poisons so 'safe' and 'healthy'?

October 30, 2014 "...Certainly can't have radiophobia running rampant in America! That tag is reserved for the folks who must not realize how hormesis is good for everyone. Some people may shit their guts out and need IVs, but it's just damn fine long-term beneficial to suck down radiation and even increase their intake. Didn't seem to hurt Madame Curie, not much. Just rotted her fingers off. But her long life was full of wonderful times (except she couldn't play the violin anymore).
Just look at her little daughter Irene pointing at mom's stumpy fingers:

What happens to people who believe in hormesis theory and allow themselves to be exposed to lots of radioactive heavy metal poisons?
Like her mommy, Irene also benefited from hormesis and lasted until age 58 before dying of radiation-induced leukemia:
Imagine selling radium laced face cream, with a promise of making women more beautiful, younger and getting rid of wrinkles?
Maybe her daughter used products like this, while believing in the quack hormesis theory.
MADAME CURIE DIED OF APLASTIC ANEMIA; A RADIATION CAUSED DISEASE
Today, there are many people still selling the quack hormesis products, like this pad, which is placed on the body to get the benefit of the 'healing rays' of radium, or uranium or whatever other heavy metal radioactive poison. It is hard to believe, but many people still make their living selling these quack products, even today, in this modern age of science and knowledge.
Via Bill Duff November 26, 2014 "Marie Sklodowska Curie was a physicist and chemist and a pioneer in the field of radioactivity. In fact, it was Curie that coined the term radioactivity. Madame Curie died on July 4, 1934 due to aplastic anemia, presumably contracted from radiation exposure. She is interred, in a lead-lined casket, at the cemetery in Sceaux, alongside her husband Pierre. Her laboratory is preserved at the Musee Curie. Due to their levels of radioactivity, her papers from the 1890′s are considered too dangerous to handle. They are kept in lead-lined boxes, and those who wish to consult them must wear protective clothing."
Probably she should have smiled more. The pro nuclear apologists will claim that she did not die of radiation, but from Radiophobia.
The eyes are the most sensitive organ when it comes to ionizing radiation. The eyes are the FIRST organ that is usually affected by radiation, so exposing the eyes to radium 'rays' is insanity. But there were products offered by medical doctors, like the one above, where alpha rays could be observed in the dark up close and personal. Cataracts and other eye problems are the direct result of exposure to ionizing radiation.
If the eyes are harmed by ionizing radiation, and that same radiation kills all dogs exposed to it, how can it also 'heal', no matter what heavy metal poison it is being emitted from? Either ionizing radiation kills living tissue and breaks genes or it heals, but it cannot do both, wouldn't you agree?
What does the evidence and data show?
Let's go deeper...

RADITHOR; DEBUNKED HORMESIS RADIATION TREATMENT DESIGNED TO MAKE PEOPLE HEALHIER
pure water December 5, 2014 "To clear the picture for myself and others who did not know:
Byers began taking enormous doses of Radithor, which he believed had greatly improved his health, drinking nearly 1,400 bottles.[5] By 1930, when Byers stopped taking the remedy, he had accumulated significant amounts of radium in his bones resulting in the loss of most of his jaw. Byers' brain was also abscessed, and holes were forming in his skull. His death on March 31, 1932, was attributed to "radiation poisoning" using the terminology of the time, but it was due to cancers, not acute radiation syndrome.[3][6] He is buried in Allegheny Cemetery in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in a lead-lined coffin.[4]

EPA DID THE RESEARCH; THEY REPORT THAT RADIUM IS 'NATURAL', BUT DEADLY
According to EPA; "Radium (chemical symbol Ra) is a naturally-occurring radioactive metal. Its most common isotopes are radium-226, radium 224, and radium-228. Radium is a radionuclide formed by the decay of uranium and thorium in the environment. It occurs at low levels in virtually all rock, soil, water, plants, and animals.The Basics
Who discovered radium?
Radium was discovered in 1898 by French physicist and Nobel laureate Marie Curie in pitchblende (a uranium and radium-bearing mineral). There is about 1 gram of radium in 7 tons of pitchblende. Elemental radium was isolated by Mme. Curie in 1911. (She died of cancer.)
Where does radium come from?
Radium forms when isotopes of uranium or thorium decay in the environment. Most radium (radium-226) originates from the decay of the plentiful uranium-238. When uranium (or thorium) occurs in high levels in rock, radium is often also found in high levels.
What are the properties of radium?
Radium is a naturally radioactive, silvery-white metal when freshly cut. It blackens on exposure to air.
Purified radium and some radium compounds glow in the dark (luminesce). The radiation emitted by radium can also cause certain materials, called "phosphors" to emit light. Mixtures of radium salts and appropriate phosphors were widely used for clock dials and gauges before the (cancer and disease) risks of radium exposure were understood.
Metallic radium is highly chemically reactive. It forms compounds that are very similar to barium compounds, making separation of the two elements difficult.
The various isotopes of radium originate from the radioactive decay of uranium or thorium. Radium-226 is found in the uranium-238 decay series, and radium-228 and -224 are found in the thorium-232 decay series.
RADIUM DECAYS TO RADON, ANOTHER NATURAL, BUT LUNG CANCER CAUSING RADIOACTIVE ELEMENT
Radium-226, the most common isotope, is an alpha emitter, with accompanying gamma radiation, and has a half-life of about 1600 years. Radium-228, is principally a beta emitter and has a half-life of 5.76 years. Radium-224, an alpha emitter, has a half life of 3.66 days. Radium decays to form isotopes of the radioactive gas radon, which is not chemically reactive. Stable lead is the final product of this lengthy radioactive decay series.
Radon Dangers; Hormesis Explored
What is radium used for?
In the early 1900's, when it was newly discovered, no one understood the dangers of radioactive radium. People were fascinated with its mysterious properties, especially the luminescence produced when it is mixed with a phosphor. Industries sprang up to manufacture hundreds of consumer products containing radium. Advertisements (and proponents of the hormesis theory) proclaimed its special powers and unique effects in such products such as hair tonic, toothpaste, ointments, and elixirs. Glow in the dark watch and clock faces were immensely popular.
Most of its original uses have been halted for health and safety reasons, but its wide use in luminescent paints continued through World War II, because the soft glow of radium's luminescence made aircraft dials, gauges and other instruments visible to their operators at night.
MEDICAL RADIATION USE ALSO BANNED FOR RADIUM, DUE TO HARM CAUSED, HOW IS ANY OTHER RADIOACTIVE ELEMENT ANY DIFFERENT FROM RADIUM?
Radium was also an early radiation source for cancer treatment. Small seeds were implanted in tumors to kill cancerous cells. Cobalt-60 has mostly replaced it.
Radium is a radiation source in some industrial radiography devices, a technology similar to x-ray imaging used in industry to inspect for flaws in metal parts. When radium is mixed with beryllium it becomes a good source of neutrons, useful in well logging devices and research. Radium also has been added to the tips of lightening rods, improving their effectiveness by ionizing the air around it.
Exposure to Radium
As a decay product of uranium and thorium, radium is common in virtually all rock, soil, and water. Usually concentrations are very low. However, geologic processes can form concentrations of naturally radioactive elements, especially uranium and radium. Radium and its salts are soluble in water. As a result, groundwater in areas where concentrations of radium are high in surrounding bedrock typically has relatively high radium content.
How does radium change in the environment?
All isotopes of radium are radioactive. As they decay, they emit radiation and form new radioactive elements, until they reach stable lead. Isotopes of radium decay to form different isotopes of radon. For example, radium-226 decays to radon-222, and radium-228 goes through several decays to radium-224 before forming radon-220.
How do people come in contact with radium?
Since radium is present at low levels in the natural environment, everyone has some minor exposure to it (due to nuclear industry emissions, and carbon fuel burning). However, individuals may be exposed to higher levels of radium if they live in an area where there is an elevated level of radium in the surrounding rock and soil. Private well water in such areas can also be an added source of radium.
The concentration of radium in drinking water is generally low, but there are specific geographic regions in the United States where higher concentrations of radium occur in water due to geologic sources. Limited information is available about the amounts of radium that are typically present in food and air, but they are very low.
People can also be exposed to radium if it is released into the air from the burning of coal or other fuels. Certain occupations can also lead to high exposures to radium, such as working in a uranium mine or in a plant that processes uranium ores. Phosphate rocks typically contain relatively high levels of both uranium and radium and can be a potential source of exposure in areas where phosphate is mined.
In some parts of the country, former radium processing plants exist that were highly contaminated with radium. However, most of these have been cleaned up and do not pose a serious health threat any longer.
RADIUM EMITS ALPHA AND GAMMA RADIATION, THE SAME DEADLY RADIATION AS ANY OTHER RADIOACTIVE ELEMENT IN USE TODAY
Radium emits several different kinds of radiation, in particular, alpha and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation is only a concern if radium is taken into the body through inhalation or ingestion. Gamma radiation, or rays, can expose individual even at a distance. As a result, radium on the ground, for example, can expose individuals externally to gamma rays or be inhaled or ingested with contaminated food or water. The greatest health risk from radium in the environment, however, is actually its decay product radon, which can collect in buildings.
How does radium get into the body?
People may swallow radium with food and water, or may inhale it as part of dust in the air. Radium can also be produced in the body from "parent" radionuclides (uranium and thorium) that have been inhaled or swallowed, but this is not a significant source.
What does radium do once it gets into the body?
Most radium that is swallowed (about 80%) promptly leaves the body through the feces. The other 20% enters the bloodstream and accumulates preferentially in the bones. Some of this radium is excreted through the feces and urine over a long time. However, a portion will remain in the bones throughout the person's lifetime.
Health Effects of Radium
Radium emits several different kinds of radiation, in particular, alpha particles and gamma rays. Alpha particles are harmful if emitted inside the body. However, both internal and external exposure to gamma radiation is harmful. Gamma rays can penetrate the body, so gamma emitters like radium can result in exposures even when the source is a distance away.
RADIUM INCREASES RISK OF MANY BONE RELATED CANCERS AND DISEASES, BECAUSE IT MIMICS CALCIUM
Long-term exposure to radium increases the risk of developing several diseases. Inhaled or ingested radium increases the risk of developing such diseases as lymphoma, bone cancer, and diseases that affect the formation of blood, such as leukemia and aplastic anemia. These effects usually take years to develop. External exposure to radium's gamma radiation increases the risk of cancer to varying degrees in all tissues and organs.
However, the greatest health risk from radium is from exposure to its radioactive decay product radon. It is common in many soils and can collect in homes and other buildings.
Is there a medical test to determine exposure to radium?
There are tests that can determine exposure to radium or other radioactive substances. For example, a whole body count can measure the total amount of radioactivity in the body, and urine and feces can be tested for the presence of radionuclides.
These tests are not routinely performed in a doctor's office because it requires special laboratory equipment. There is no test that can detect external exposure to radium's gamma radiation, unless the doses were very high, and cellular damage is detectable.
Protecting People from Radium
You need special equipment to detect the presence of radium. However, you can buy radon detection kits at most hardware stores.
What can I do to protect myself and my family from radium?
The most effective way to protect yourself and your family is to test your home for radium's decay product, radon.
What is EPA doing about radium?
The U.S. Congress passes laws that authorize EPA and other federal agencies, to protect public health and the environment from radium and other radioactive materials. EPA has issued a variety of regulations that limit the release of radium and other radionuclides to the environment. For example, Congress passed the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act (UMTRCA). EPA has established standards for cleaning up and managing leftover uranium ore at inactive ore-processing plants under the authority of UMTRCA. The U.S. Department of Energy is responsible for conducting the cleanups, and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission oversees and manages them.
This page provides a summary and link to the full statute.
Complementing these efforts, EPA's Superfund program identifies abandoned industrial sites contaminated with radium and other radionuclides and chemicals. It then assesses the health and environmental risks the sites pose, and assigns priorities for cleaning them up based on those risks. Superfund regulations require sites to be cleaned up to the point that people living on the sites after cleanup would have no more than a 1-in-10,000 to a 1-in-1,000,000 increased risk of developing cancer from exposure to contaminants.
This page provides a summary and a link to the complete statute.
This site contains information about individual Superfund sites.
Other laws passed by Congress address specific environmental media. The Clean Air Act authorizes EPA to establish annual limits, known as National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, for the maximum amount of radium and other radionuclides that may be released to the air. For radium the "NESHAP" is 10 millirem.
The Safe Drinking Water Act authorizes EPA to limit the Maximum Contaminant Levels of radium and other radionuclides in publicly supplied drinking water. For 226 and 228 radium, the MCL is 5 picocuries per liter and for 224 radium it is 15pCi/l. Both the air and water standards limit the increased lifetime cancer risk to about 2 in 10,000."

HORMESIS PROMOTING RADIATION THERAPY DEEMED TO BE QUACKERY, THEN AND TODAY
Wikipedia; "The Radium Water Worked Fine Until His Jaw Came Off".
"Radithor was a patent medicine that is a well-known example of radioactive quackery. It consisted of triple distilled water containing at a minimum 1 microcurie (37 kBq) each of the radium 226 and 228 isotopes."
"Radithor was manufactured from 1918 to 1928 by the Bailey Radium Laboratories, Inc., of East Orange, New Jersey. The owner of the company and head of the laboratories was listed as Dr. William J. A. Bailey, a dropout from Harvard College,[1] who was not a medical doctor.[2] It was advertised as "A Cure for the Living Dead"[3] as well as "Perpetual Sunshine".
"The Wall Street Journal article describing the Byers incident was called "The Radium Water Worked Fine Until His Jaw Came Off".[5] Byers's death led to the strengthening of the Food and Drug Administration's powers and the demise of most radiation-based patent medicines."

The same hucksters that sold radium as a miracle cure are now touting thorium as the savior of humankind, and as a new energy source to boot. But are the claims matching reality? Thorium turns out to have the exact same dangers and health hazards that radium, radon and uranium do.

INVENTOR OF COBALT RADIATION THERAPY
Wikipedia; "Szilárd stepped off the curb. As he crossed the street time cracked open before him and he saw a way to the future, death came into the world and all our woes, the shape of things to come.[14]
"We turned the switch and saw the flashes. We watched them for a little while and then we switched everything off and went home". He understood the implications and consequences of this discovery, though. "That night, there was very little doubt in my mind that the world was headed for grief".[14] U.S. President Harry Truman agreed with advisers and chose to use atomic bombs against Hiroshima and Nagasaki over the protestations of Szilárd and other scientists.
He is widely credited with opposition to atomic weapons and feeling horror of using atomic weapons.... He was dismissed from the Manhattan Project by its military head, Gen Leslie Groves... He was subsequently prevented... from getting any work on nuclear-related projects.[20]

Szilard Got Bladder Cancer
Szilárd invented the use of medical radiation therapy via the CIA led Atoms For Peace project. There is a difference in accounts around how it worked for him, as he used himself as his own test subject. In one account, he had to try twice, because the first attempt did not work and the bladder cancer came back. In another account, he only used one attempt. Both accounts cannot be right. Which one was it? Here are the two versions of history being told, and they are both suspicious for the lack of any negative side effects, despite using a dose that normally kills a person.
“In 1960, Szilárd was diagnosed with bladder cancer. He underwent cobalt therapy at New York's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital using a cobalt 60 treatment regimen that he designed himself. He was familiar with the properties of this isotope from his work on the cobalt bomb. A second round of treatment with an increased dose followed in 1962. The doctors tried to tell him that the increased radiation dose would kill him...”
In 1960, when his bladder cancer was diagnosed, he took his treatment in own hands treated himself with irradiation of extra large dose, with complete success.
Gamma radiation is deadly and causes cancer as well as many other genetic diseases which show up down the road.

Radium had a brief but interesting history of being hailed as the savior of mankind via the 'peaceful' use of the atom. Radium was seen as a potent high tech 'miracle' cure all and a 100% guaranteed cure for Cancer, promoted to a gullible public via hucksters wanting to make huge profits.
This miracle cure worked and was sold until scientific research proved that radium actually caused cancer, diseases, deformities and deaths in the longer term, even in low doses of exposure, just like any other radioactive element, natural or man made.
Nothing has changed. All of the 1,900 man made radioactive heavy metal poisonous elements that come out of nuclear reactors and/or cyclotrons are exactly the same as Radium, as they are all the same animal, which is poison, toxic and causes cancer.
These man made radioactive ionizing poisons and toxins are absorbed by different parts of the body, but they all cause the same genetic breaks, genetic diseases, physical dis-ease and cancer, period. As medical science rotates through 'experimenting' with all of the different man made radioactive elements, long term studies will confirm that they are all the same as radium; toxic, poisonous and harmful, with no beneficial long term positive use.
Human Radiation Experiments Performed Without Consent Or Knowledge By CIA, Military, Medical, Mental Health Professionals
These modern day radioactive poisons and toxins should all be banned, not be 'licensed' for medical use, just like radium was. But it may take another 200 years for the profit minded and obsessed medical industrial complex to figure that out, or it may take 200 years for the public to see it and choose some other path, but by then, it may be way too late, because there is no way to undo the genetic damage that goes on and on, generation after generation.
Radium was banned from use in public and was no longer used in medicine due to public fears of radiation dangers of it. Other radioactive elements were substituted for radium, but they are no less dangerous, toxic or radioactive, so what is the difference?
TAKE AWAY
There is no difference between radium and all other radioactive elements, or even neutron or proton ray therapy. But there is a huge profit in all of these things, so the sales pressure and hype that surrounds dangerous for health radioactive elements and radiations continues, and will continue to be sold to a gullible public.
Nothing will change until enough people are educated to the point where they see that all ionizing radiation is dangerous and the more ionizing radiation one is exposed to, the higher the risk and danger is in a cumulative fashion, which never wears off.

List Of Radiation Induced Diseases Caused by Low Dose And High Dose Radiation

All man made radioactive elements cause cancer, leukemia, genetic damage and other dis-eases, whether they are man made, like plutonium or tritium, or 'natural', like radon, thorium uranium, or radium. These substances have no place around humans and they should ALL be banned from both public and medical use, because safer, less costly, less toxic alternatives have always existed and still exist today. There is one thing that stands in the way of solving many if not most of the dis-eases of humanity, and that is called 'profit'.
