Going through radiation therapy can be a very traumatic and uncomfortable experience, but it also comes hand in hand with several adverse effects causing important loss in quality of life.

The presence of rashes is common when undergoing 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 want to know how you can tell if you're suffering from radio dermatitis. Well, you should look for signs of red, fevered skin that may appear at the location where the radiation beam was focused. Does this sound like something you have? Also, another element which may help in identifying whether you have radio dermatitis or not, 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 fully protect your body from adverse effects. Moreover, emollients and topic corticosteroids which are usually prescribed to relieve these symptoms come with their own side effects, so their prolonged use is not recommended. It would seem that we are encountering a never ending problem, as we try one product to aid a condition we end-up causing another, and so on.

Is it possible to prevent the adverse effects on the body?

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. But do skin creams like this really exist?

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. I bet you're asking yourself, what is it about those slimy looking creatures that can help my condition? Well, the solution lies in the slime itself. Studies have 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 efficient 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 favoured 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.
