Protection Against Radiation

Dear Dr. Meletis,

A few months ago my daughter (25 years old) was having severe headaches for about a week or more. She went to one of the local physicians, who prescribed an antibiotic (possible sinus infection). The headaches continued and they ordered a CT scan. The results were negative. It turned out it was some ailment that just had to take its course. My concern is the amount of radiation used in this procedure that has been shown to cause cancer. I am 54 and had a CT scan several years ago also. Can you recommend a product to detoxify the body to possibly prevent any future scares we may encounter? My main concern is my daughter. Thank you.

Ms. M.

Dear Ms. M.,

Your concerns are very real and being proactive is important. I recommend for my patients a combination antioxidant ideally before and long term after. These supplements usually take the form of Extension Antioxidant and Extension Resveratrol and increased intake of fresh fruits and veggies, and/or add Primary Greens™ to augment dietary intake of fresh produce, since a mere 11 percent of us consume the recommended 5 to 7 servings per day of fruits and vegetables.

Relative to having taken an antibiotic, I always recommend a minimum of 2 to 6 months of a good probiotic, such as BioPRO™ or Culturelle®.

Sincerely,

Chris D. Meletis, ND
