Should we take RAI 131

I often see many hyperthyroid patients share the experience of taking Radioactive Iodine 131. To be honest, I was very sad after reading such message. Some patients said that I have drank 5ml RAI 131 and I have drank 15ml RAI 131. They drank the radioactive iodine just like drinking soda. I have seen some patients drink for 3 months, sharing she feels good, some have been drinking for 3 years, and even said that everything is normal. Green Life really want to tell these patients NO TO DRINK RAI 131. 

 

 

Many online sharing cases of drinking radioactive iodine, some drink for a few months, some drink for two or three years. During the period, they are recorded in the form of notes, recorded in detail, widely shared, and drinking radioactive iodine, just like drinking sugar. Green life often suggests that you should ask a familiar endocrinologist before drinking radioactive iodine. If some relatives and friends are doctors, then it is best, because only these professional doctors and friends will put you in the shoes for your sake. . Patients should understand that when a doctor finds that a patient has hyperthyroidism, it is controlled by anti-thyroid drugs. If radioactive iodine 131 is so good, why not use radioactive iodine 131 directly in the early stage of hyperthyroidism?

 

 

 

The reason is that the doctor understands the harmful effects of radioactive iodine 131, and does not want to use radioactive iodine 131. However, the patient's drug can not control, and constantly relapse; and each time the recurrence, the symptoms will be more severe than before, these serious symptoms can even be fatal. As a doctor, the two evils are taken lightly, and the patient with hyperthyroidism is converted to hypothyroidism with radioactive iodine, at least without fatal danger.

 

 

 

Some notes on drinking iodine 131:

 

1. In Hong Kong, do you ask the patient to get married before drinking radioactive iodine? Have you ever had a child? why? Because the mother who has been exposed to radioactive iodine, if pregnant, it is easy to have a deformed baby! Therefore, doctors who are generally unmarried, or women who want to become pregnant, are not recommended to use iodine 131.

 

2. Some iodine-emitting doctors will say that iodine-131 can be highly selectively ingested (iodine-131 is almost exclusively taken up by the thyroid gland) and concentrated in thyroid tissue, and the maximum range of beta-rays emitted by iodine-131 is only 3.63mm, the average range is 0.48mm, so β-rays only treat the cells of the thyroid. But everyone knows that after drinking radioactive iodine, don't get close to the elderly, children, pregnant women or weak people. After a friend had finished drinking 150 radiant iodine, he used the instrument to measure strong radiation within 10 meters. After seven or eight days, there is still strong radiation within 3 to 4 meters. Since the radiation is so strong and afraid of hurting others, what about the patients themselves?

 

3. After drinking radioactive iodine, your saliva, sweat and excretion are radioactive. Therefore, your personal belongings should be opened separately, washed separately with separate cups and clothes. After the toilet is used, flush the water and cover the lid. Prevent these radioactive iodine from harming others.

 

 

 

Iodine 131 really should not be promoted

 

Since I have written a big misunderstanding of thyroid disease, Green Life feels that we should tell the truth to everyone! Online sharing, many times the time recorded is not long enough, and a good part of the body is greatly hurt, because there is no spirit, no strength, simply can not share online. Green life encountered multiple patients who had been exposed to radioactive iodine for more than 10 years. Two of them did live quite well, and they did not take any drugs at all, including anti-thyroid drugs or hormone drugs. The problem is that if we take the observation time a little longer, especially after the menopause, Green Life finds that patients who have been exposed to radioactive iodine have experienced a particularly rapid decline, especially.

 

 

 

Green Life met a female patient who had been exposed to radioactive iodine at the age of 30. At the age of 46, she also said that she was in good health. When she saw her again five years later, various problems emerged. At that time, she thought it was a problem of menopause! But when she saw her again at the age of 55, her hair was white and her body functioned just like the 80-year-old man. In fact, this has a very big relationship with the thyroid gland, because the thyroid gland controls the body's metabolism, which is a very important hormone secretion organ. At the time of menopause, women's collection of various hormones will gradually decrease. However, people with thyroid damage will have a particularly rapid decline in hormones! This is the 55-year-old who is just like the 80-year-old!

 

 

 

In addition, it is more important that the majority of patients who have been exposed to radioactive iodine will become hypothyroidism. Not as lucky as the patients mentioned above in Green Life. These patients will become patients with hypothyroidism, many people will say, there is no problem with hypothyroidism, just take medicine for life! The problem is that these hormone drugs (there are two types of hormone drugs, one is synthetic, the other is made from the thyroid gland of the animal) and the patient's body can't be PERFECT MATCH!

 

 

 

Green Life has seen most patients who have been exposed to radioactive iodine 131, the metropolitan edema, swelling and even the ring on the finger can not be picked up. More seriously, the life track of the whole person has been changed. A mother told Green Life that after drinking radioactive iodine, she was weak all day, lying in bed, unable to watch the 3-year-old daughter crying on the ground, and she didn't have the strength to hug her daughter! It turned out that the children were sent to school in the morning, buying food, cooking and meeting with friends, all gone! This is a radical change in the trajectory of life!

 

 

 

Is there any other way?

 

In fact, Chinese medicine is more effective in treating chronic diseases than Western medicine. Patients can go to a regular hospital to see Chinese medicine, or find some Chinese medicine queries with more successful cases!
