On this webpage we have assembled products from throughout our website which are very helpful,

What is a radiation burn?
A radiation burn is damage to the skin or other biological tissue caused by exposure to
ionizing radiation. The most common type of radiation burn is a sun burn caused by UV light.
High exposure to x rays during diagnostic medical imaging or radiotherapy have also resulted
in radiation burns. As the ionizing radiation interacts with cells within the body, damaging them,
the body responds to this damage, typically resulting in erythema, redness around the damaged area.
Radiation burns are often associated with cancer due to the ability of ionizing radiation to interact
and damage DNA, occasionally inducing a cell to become cancerous. (Source: Wikipedia.com)

was going through intense radiation treatments. At the beginning of the radiation the patient developed burn
and skin irritation that the usual prescription products that did not help. Once he used the newly
developed RADX products, the patient’s skin during the radiation process became soft and supple,
without experiencing the usual burning, scarring and skin breakdown. Based upon these results, the
developer of the RADX brand began to offer the product shown below to others.
