Being subjected to radiation therapy can be a very disturbing and uncomfortable experience, but it also comes hand in hand with various adverse effects causing important loss in quality of life.

The appearance of rashes is common when being subjected to radiation treatment. This skin condition, normally called radio dermatitis, is a common side effect that manifests itself on the skin and represents an important skin toxicity factor in patients subjected to radiotherapy. You may wonder how you can tell if you're suffering from radio dermatitis. In order to know whether or not you have this skin condition, you should check for signs of sore, inflamed skin located where the radiation beam was aimed. Does this sound like something you have? Also, another element which may help in identifying this skin condition, is that it is likely to affect fair skinned people who are undergoing high dose radiation treatments.

One must consider that radiation treatments are essential for improving our health especially when treating different types of cancer, however there doesn't seem to be any therapeutic options or skin products available that completely prevent adverse effects. Moreover, the normal treatments which are prescribed to relieve these symptoms are emollients and topic corticosteroids, but these also bring with them their own side effects, so their use has to be limited. It would seem we are creating an ongoing problem, as we try one product to aid a condition we end-up causing another, and so on.

How can we protect our body from the adverse effects present in standard treatments?

Honestly speaking, if one is going through such a strong emotional and physical treatment as chemotherapy or radiotherapy, undergoing further health problems due to unwanted side effects doesn't help. What we need are skin care products that gently treat rashes. So, can we really find a skin treatment that helps?

Well, of course not!!! And this is where Nature comes in and where we must value our habitat and the Earth's numerous qualities. Snails are the key to solving this problem. Yes, you've read right, snails. You may ask yourself, what is it about those slimy looking creatures that can help my condition? Well, the solution lies in the slime itself. Research has confirmed its efficacy in blocking deterioration, and preventing and treating acute radio dermatitis in the same way or even better than most skin creams normally prescribed by doctors not causing any adverse effects as in the other skin treatments.

Hence, the results of research and studies done on snail secretion in relation to radiotherapy have revealed that snail secretions:

*does not interfere with radiotherapy

*does not cause side effects, in short and long term use

*is as successful as a standard treatment prescribed by doctors, such as corticosteroids, or even better

*is an wonderful preventative treatment of radio dermatitis or skin rash

*has been acknowledged by both Patients and Investigators in the treatment of radio dermatitis

It is worth considering this natural solution as part of your radio dermatitis treatment, as it doesn't produce any adverse side effects, which are definitely not needed. Say Yes to Nature and, and No, to adverse effects.
