Radioactivity

The electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) includes a wide range of energies, from very low-energy waves such as radio signals to extremely high-energy radiation such as gamma rays. Science has identified various effects on living organisms depending on the nature of ionizing radiation and the duration of exposure.

Radiation is called ionizing when it deposits energy into living matter or produces biological effects. X-rays and gamma rays belong to this category.

These are extremely short waves with very high frequencies, far beyond human perception. The only parts of the electromagnetic spectrum directly detectable by our senses are infrared radiation (felt as heat) and visible light.

We cannot see or feel radio waves, X-rays, or gamma rays, yet they are capable of passing through the body.

Although radioactivity naturally exists in the environment, these levels are generally very low and only minimally disruptive. Every human absorbs small amounts of radioactive elements through food, air, or contact with naturally radioactive materials such as granite.

In France, the average annual exposure per inhabitant is approximately 2.4 millisieverts (mSv). In some regions of Asia and South America, exposure may reach up to 50 millisieverts per year, making typical European exposure relatively low.

However, when human activities generate radioactivity, exposure levels can become much higher.

Radiation May Be Ionizing or Non-Ionizing

• Non-ionizing radiation does not contain enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules (that is, to make them gain or lose electrons).

Several types of non-ionizing radiation exist, including near ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.

Although non-ionizing radiation cannot ionize atoms, it is not entirely harmless. Microwaves are energetic enough to cook food, and ultraviolet radiation can cause sunburn.

• Ionizing radiation contains enough energy to eject electrons from atoms and generate ions.

Far ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays are forms of ionizing radiation.

These highly energetic radiations may quickly damage cells or contribute to cancer development. This is why protective lead aprons are used during dental X-rays and why radiology technicians remain behind protective barriers.

A single X-ray examination is generally harmless, but repeated exposure may become dangerous.

There is also particle radiation, composed of atomic or subatomic particles such as protons, neutrons, and electrons carrying kinetic energy. This type of radiation is commonly found in particle accelerators used in medicine, chemistry, and scientific research.

Alpha and beta particles emit directly ionizing radiation because they carry electrical charges and interact directly with atomic electrons.

Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons. They are large, slow-moving, and positively charged — essentially identical to a helium atom nucleus.

Beta particles are smaller and move rapidly. They may carry either a positive charge (positrons) or a negative charge (electrons).

Neutrons, unlike protons and electrons, carry no electrical charge. Neutron radiation is indirectly ionizing because free neutrons released from atoms may interact with atomic nuclei and generate new radioactive isotopes.

• The Sievert (Sv) is the unit used to measure the biological effects of ionizing radiation on living tissue.
• 1 millisievert per year is the recommended limit for the general public (excluding justified medical procedures and natural radioactivity exposure).
• 6 millisieverts per year is the recommended limit for apprentices or students aged 16 to 18 working with radioactive sources.
• 20 millisieverts over 12 consecutive months is the limit for occupationally exposed workers (such as nuclear plant employees or radiotherapy technicians).

DANGERS

The effects of radioactivity on humans are numerous. Certain diseases may appear years after exposure or even affect future generations through developmental disorders or genetic abnormalities.

Low exposure may lead to:

• Hair loss
• Thyroid and lung cancers
• Skin burns and peeling
• Destruction of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets

High exposure may result in:

• Brain edema
• Bone marrow destruction
• Severe infections and hemorrhages
• Vascular disorders
• Immune system collapse

PROTECTION METHODS

Traditional protection measures include:

• Keeping people as far away as possible from radiation sources, since ionizing radiation intensity decreases with distance
• Reducing exposure time to the minimum possible
• Using shielding or protective barriers between the source and exposed individuals

Radioactive contamination may settle on the body surface (hands, hair, clothing). Therefore, it is recommended to wash thoroughly and change clothes after exposure.

Ingested radioactive particles are much more dangerous and difficult to eliminate. For this reason, eating, drinking, smoking, or touching the face should be avoided in radioactive environments.

Radioactivity may be detected in real time using a Geiger counter, while accumulated exposure is measured using a personal dosimeter.

It has also been observed that cherry tree leaves wrinkle under radioactive exposure.

How Can Cytamphology Help Reduce Excess Radioactivity?

Cytamphology is a science based on harnessing a natural energy emitted by the active principles of plants at their highest energetic level.

CLAYMASK XR, also called CM XR, contains a specific Cytamphological formula designed to act at the cellular level in order to help eliminate excess radioactivity.

CM XR is composed of a specific Cytamphological formula combined with oil and clay, forming a cream applied to the body according to a dedicated protocol included with the product.

CM XR is intended for radioactive pollution potentially linked to:

• Medical imaging devices such as X-rays, MRI scans, CT scans, ultrasounds, and contrast imaging procedures
• Environmental contamination through atmosphere, rain, clouds, or water (for example following events such as Chernobyl or Fukushima)
• Sensitive sites located near residential areas

These emissions may contribute to effects such as chronic fatigue, nausea, weakened reproductive cells, dry skin, itching, or respiratory discomfort.

CM XR CONTAINS NO COLORANTS, PRESERVATIVES, OR ALLERGENS.

100% NATURAL PRODUCT.

P.S.: According to the product description, radioactivity levels may reportedly be measured as significantly reduced the day after applying CM XR, for example using a Geiger counter.
