In general,
the following kinds of radiation are evaluated for
purposes of radiation protection: alpha rays, beta rays, gamma rays,
X rays, and neutrons. Brief definitions of these follow:
Beta
ray
A particle ray consisting
of a fast electron whose mass is nearly 1/2000 of the mass of a proton
or neutron. Beta rays are produced following spontaneous decay of
certain radioactive materials, such as tritium (an isotope of hydrogen),
carbon-14, phosphorus-32, and strontium-90. Depending on its energy
(ie, speed), a beta ray can traverse different distances in water--less
than 1 mm for tritium to nearly 1 cm for phosphorus-32. As with alpha
rays, the major concern for health effects is after their ingestion
(ie, internal exposure).
Gamma ray
An electromagnetic wave,
a gamma ray is similar to ordinary visible light but differs in energy
or wavelength. Sunlight consists of a mixture of electromagnetic
rays of various wavelengths, from the longest, infrared, through
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, to the shortest
in wavelength, ultraviolet. A gamma ray's wavelength is far shorter
than ultraviolet (ie, it is far higher in
energy). Gamma rays are produced following spontaneous decay of radioactive
materials, such as cobalt-60 and cesium-137. A cobalt-60 gamma ray
can penetrate deeply into the human body, so it has been widely used
for cancer radiotherapy.
X ray
X rays have the same
characteristics as gamma rays, although
they are produced differently. When high-speed electrons hit metals,
electrons are stopped and release energy in the form of an electromagnetic
wave. This was first observed by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895, who considered
it a mysterious ray, and thus called it an X ray. X rays consist
of a mixture of different wavelengths, whereas gamma-ray energy has
a fixed value (or two) characteristic to the radioactive material.
Neutrons
Neutron particles are
released following nuclear fission (splitting of an atomic nucleus
producing large amounts of energy) of uranium or plutonium. In fact,
it is neutrons that trigger the nuclear chain reaction to explode
an atomic bomb. Neutrons hardly damage cells because they do not
carry any electrical charge. However, the human body contains a large
amount of hydrogen (a constituent of water molecules that occupy
70% of the human body), and when neutrons hit the nucleus of hydrogen,
ie, a proton that is positively charged, the proton causes ionizations
in the body, leading to various types of damage. At equivalent absorbed
doses, neutrons can cause more severe damage to the body than gamma
rays.
The
practitioners of Healing*Edge Sciences have researched
over 30 different products at the present time and
feel the only protection if any, is prevention.
There are many very effective products for maintaining the
immune
system at peak levels. Until further research has
been done we are only recommending a product called Immunition.
We recommend taking 1 capsule daily until we believe there
is more of a threat. In emergency situations you can take
3 capsules every 1/2 hour.
The practitioners of Healing*Edge
Science will research and find answers for these
possible problems we may be facing in the future.
We recommend you submit us your email
for future updates or check back with us weekly.
During these unfortunate times, Healing*Edge Science
is offering a 25% discount on this product and
all other products that we may find possibly
effective.
