Ever played Fallout ? It's Radaway.
Um... Hiw are they finding subjects exposed to radioactive contamination????
That could actually be useful. In the meantime natural supplements and foods have long been known to protect against radiation damage in humans and animals.
For example:
EDTA, a cheap over-the-counter supplement, has been used for decades to remove heavy metals, such as lead, from the body. I haven't seen (but haven't really looked for) any studies using EDTA to specifically remove plutonium or uranium from the body but they certainly ARE "heavy metals." I took EDTA for years in a formula with garlic and had no negative side-effects whatever. There are cautions for heavy use, especially with infusions.
Various chelating agents have been studied for removal of uranium and plutonium for some time; see Chelating agents used for plutonium and uranium removal in radiation emergency medicine from 2005 for some information.
More -- in this case, one example of MANY showing that antioxidants and other supplements can help prevent damage from radiation:
Rationale for using multiple antioxidants in protecting humans against low doses of ionizing radiation in the British Journal of Radiology, also from 2005.
That article includes (among other things) the following information:
Even a quick search (at a decent search engine like Qwant for instance) will bring you LOTS more material on the topic.
Good the fascists are about to nuke us to force us to buy their corporate partners' radiation sickness drugs
Patriots better be in control!
Taking it to Ukraine are they?
