I suggest your problem is anxiety not radiation.

Anxiety makes our nerves over sensitive so every small negative thing becomes magnified ten fold.

The amounts of radiation involved in those procedures are well within safety limits. Nobody has ever caught cancer by having a CT scan or two.

So move your focus away from false 'threats' to your health and concentrate on the real problem: high anxiety and the false fears it spreads.

Once you disperse your anxiety all these false worries will yield.

You're going to be o.k. All is well I promise. You're going to live to at least 105. Thanks to x-rays and CT-scans!

Best thing is to make sure you are topped up with iodine Organic sea kelp is a good source of iodine

If your body is replete with iodine it won't absorb any radioactive iodine in xrays - if they contain any and I'm not sure they even do

Not what you're looking for?
