The Lies of Radioactive Medicine
Miracle cures and quack medicine crashed into a new era of science during the dawn of Radionics. While history is rife with fake medicine and medical fraud, the introduction of unseen waves and radiation into the public zeitgeist led to the floodgates opening for wacky quack devices from hucksters like the Atomotrone, the Electro-Metabograph and…

People in cancer often believe in anything that claims to cure it, and they can easily fell for scams and expensive items that can do almost to none.
My mother is doing MLM schemes that she also targets for such patients and did the same to my now-gone relative who had a stage-IV lung cancer, it was cringe to hear her on the phone telemarketing for the product.

Irradiating food with ionizing radiation, is not only safe, but it’s often done to kill bacteria, and germs.
No radiation will remain in the food.

I hate when people prey on the descripts. But like I get it. You’re so overwhelmed that you’re willing to try anything to stop the distress. I’m so glad I always had my family for tough situations, but some people don’t even have that.

And yet today things aren’t that much different, now the radiation treatments have to be administered by over priced doctors. Way more wack not that they put that crap in peoples blood with aborted baby cells, nasty glorified legal dopers…. That junk ain’t good for nothing but making liars money and making suckers poorer and sicker.
