Any help out there for mammo radiation exposure?

CatBo

I had my first screening mammo yesterday, immediately followed by 3 magnified mammos and an ultrasound on Lefty to help diagnose a calcification, but a biopsy is recommended.  My question is if anything can be done before or after the mammos to help protect or heal the breast from the mammo radiation exposure?  I know most folks think there is nothing to worry about with all of the compression and radiation, but it really bothers me.

Hi Catbo~

While I'm no herbal expert, I do recall reading that supplementing with Holy Basil may be helpful in this case    I spent years in "wait and watch" mode and was also highly concerned with the effects of so much radiation from all of my diagnostic/magnified mammos.   

Calming thoughts being sent your way~

Thanks, I'll check it out.  Glad to know at least one other person out there doesn't think I'm crazy ... well, maybe I am, but that's a different story!

While Lefty also has lots of painful cysts, it is still irritated today from the tests yesterday, especially the nipple. 

Thanks again.

A person named Leonard who researches alternative treatments posted this on another board in response to a question about detoxing from radiation/mammograms.  I hope it helps!

Supplements to Take around the Time of X-Rays (to protect body)

chlorella--x-rays: take chlorella 2x/day for 1 month after the radiation

N-acetyl Cysteine (NAC) (converted to glutathione)--take on empty stomach, in
divided doses throughout the day since it may have a short half-life;
recommended by Gammill (5/09) and Robert Rowen, M.D.

things that I like both as radiation enhancers and protectors. Some of the
protectors apply also for diagnostic imagery. I like caffeine, Vit E succinate,
NAC [glutathione], fucoidan [in kelp and Modifilan.com] (Gammill, 2010)

"vitamin C, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, selenium, N-acetyl cysteine [NAC], and
vitamin E succinate"
(www.secondopinionnewsletter.com/scripts/viewArchive.aspx?AID=85)

dark-green leafy vegetables, algae, wheatgrass, barley grass, cabbage, & other
GREEN foods
sea vegetables/seaweed-- arame, hiziki, nori, wakame, Irish moss, dulse, and
particularly kombu and KELP (preferably Icelandic) all contain sodium alginate
which binds to radioactive substances.

"Apples and sunflower seeds contain pectin which binds and removes radioactive
residues...Buckwheat contains glucosides which protect us
from radiation. green foods...algae...cleans[e] our bodies of
radiation.(1)...bath with sea salt and baking soda draws [out] toxins...Sea
vegetables" www.naturalnews.com/030664_cell_phones_radiation.html

There is a homeopathic called Xray.  Can be ordered online by citizens, do search, looking for 30C, 200C or 1M.  I used 200C but will use iM next time

 There is also flower essences blend called Yarrow Environmental Solution and the Radiation Repair. More here on search  about $15 a bottle.

Why not just get a Thermogram?

No radiation exposure.
