Undergoing 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 appearance 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 undergoing radiotherapy. You may wonder what radio dermatitis looks like. 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 your case? Also, another factor which may help in identifying this skin condition, is that it is likely to affect fair skinned people who are being subjected to 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 alternatives or skin creams available that fully prevent adverse effects. Moreover, emollients and topic corticosteroids which are usually prescribed to calm 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.

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

Honestly speaking, if one is going through such a potent 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 have the answer to 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 answer lies in the slime itself. Research has confirmed that using skin products that contain this natural solution act in the same way or even better than most standard treatments. This natural solution has proven its efficient in blocking deterioation, and preventing and treating acute radio dermatitis, and most importantly, it leaves no adverse effects.

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 excellent preventative treatment of radio dermatitis or skin rash

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

Excessive loads of adverse side effects are definitely not needed in radation therapy, so it is worth taking this natural solution into account when thinking about treating radio dermatitis. Say Yes to Nature and, and No, to adverse effects.
