I'll write about solving back problems another time, but for now I want to make a short note about radiation hazards and the right protective medications. Volodya's schizoaffective disorder is likely progressing, and we should be prepared for any scenario, from a nuclear strike to a nuclear power plant explosion. Also, I'm annoyed when all the pseudo-experts on the internet keep repeating the same old Soviet refrain about taking iodine, not realizing that radioactive iodine isn't the only problem in such situations.
So, what awaits a living organism when exposed to radiation of various origins? It's simple: DNA damage and cell death. The worst thing is when stem cells are damaged in this way; then there's no chance of survival, because they're the alpha and omega of all other cells. But for some reason, everyone blames the thyroid and iodine. 
Under the influence of radiation, tissue molecules change because various chemical reactions occur, the products of which are a huge number of defective molecules and free radicals.
The most important molecule in a cell is DNA, essentially a program that tells the cell what to do. Once this program is partially erased by radiation, the cell either undergoes apoptosis (suicide) or becomes defective (cancerous, if you're unlucky).
Regarding radioactive isotopes (like Iodine-131), the same principle of harm applies, except that these isotopes accumulate in tissues, and the body begins to think that's normal, including them in metabolism.
For example, iodine is necessary for thyroid function, but not the iodine produced by nuclear fission of plutonium, uranium, or thorium. The body doesn't distinguish between naturally occurring iodine and its artificial isotopes and incorporates it into metabolic processes, but this iodine irradiates everything around it as it decays.
The same thing happens with strontium. It resembles calcium, so the body thinks it's calcium and incorporates it into bone metabolism. And so on. But again, the problem is the radiation from these isotopes and the resulting chemical reactions after training!
What should I drink to stop these chemical reactions during radiation exposure ? I answer:
In addition to iodine, you need to drink plenty of vitamin C (in the form of sodium, calcium, magnesium, and zinc ascorbates). In case of radiation exposure, the dose should be about 1-2 grams per day!
You also need to take vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol plus combined tocopherols d-beta, d-delta, d-gamma) - 300-400 mg per day.
Taking these vitamins must be combined with glutathione infusions (drips) of 1-2 grams per day. You can't administer it yourself, so in this situation, injections are necessary. In Ukraine, glutathione is sold under the name Hepaval. It is also available in capsules, but these are not very effective.
If you don't have Hepaval on hand, take a medication called ACC along with your vitamins, also 1-2 grams per day. This is acetylcysteine in the form of effervescent cough tablets.
Without these medications, taking iodine will only help partially, and may not help at all! The first 10 days after the onset of the threat, taking all of these drugs is critically necessary if you want to live without significant health problems
