這使我想起一個popsci的專題
一百年前美國人流行喝'輻射水'強身
喝到有人下巴掉下來了政府才去查
'Byers's gruesome death in 1932 inspired the Wall Street Journal headline "The Radium Water Worked Fine until His Jaw Came Off." '
這裡有一篇 Eben Byers 的故事 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eben_Byers )
*************************************
Byers began taking enormous doses of Radithor, which he believed had greatly improved his health, drinking nearly 1400 bottles.[5] In the process, he subjected himself to more than three times the acute lethal radiation dose. By 1930, when Byers stopped taking the remedy, he had accumulated significant amounts of radium in his bones resulting in the loss of most of his jaw. Byers' brain was also abscessed and holes were forming in his skull. He died from radium poisoning on March 31, 1932.[3] He is buried in Allegheny Cemetery in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in a lead-lined coffin.[6]

貝爾開始服用巨量的鐳釷製劑 (Radithor, RaBr/ThSO4 mixture, also known as Radioactive quackery), 他相信這能明顯改善他的健康, 他服用了將近 1,400 瓶的鐳釷製劑. 在服用過程中, 貝爾收到高達三倍於急性致死劑量的輻射. 在 1930 年時, 當貝爾終於停止服用他所深信的仙丹妙藥, 貝爾的骨頭已經累積大量的鐳, 導致他的下顎骨幾乎完全溶解損失. (鐳與鈣同屬鹼土族金屬), 貝爾的腦部也出現一個化膿潰瘍, 他的頭骨出現一個洞. 他在 1932 年 3 月 31 日死於鐳中毒. 遺體以鉛襯的棺材埋葬於 賓州匹茲堡 Allegheny Cemetery.
