Can radiation affect chemical reactions?

Question

if so, can it be applied to the human body chemistry? Like in overcoming diabetes? or does the idea seem stupid?

Answer 1

Dear Glynnis:

Yes, radiation affects chemicals. Our Universe is made up of electromagnetics (or RFRs called Radio Frequency Radiations). These beams or waves contain (just a few listed) radiations from Ultraviolet, Gamma rays, Microwave and X-rays.
There are more involved - in a single beam of electromagnetics.

All radiations are a form of heat. They are "radiant" which is always light and heat and energy.

Energy can alter the molecular structure of many physical objects (solid) and chemicals (compounds and elements).

The energy can be controlled by man and pulsed as a force that blasts molecular structures into alterations.

Radiant heat can fuse human bones together; also human toe or finger nails ! It can alter the body temperature, making a naturally cold person, warm (at certain levels of intake). It can travel through cosmetics : creams - and break down their structure - causing a thick cream to become runny and thin. Some mascaras will thicken and clump from it. Foundation makeups, on the skin, can be blown off !

Physical matter such as virus or bacteria can be altered in their molecular structures, as well.

Physical, individual chemistries can be altered. In the case of diseases, we use radiation to kill cells. We mutate cells also - with heat and light. As a frequency, the pulsing of electromagnetic waves at various levels can stimulate organs.

No idea is ever stupid. To alter the way an organ reacts to chemicals, or how it functions in its own chemical output, should have possibilities through radiation. . .. We know organs and cells can be stimulated.

Since all cells have intelligence of their own function, what role does the intelligence of a cell play in dysfunction? Further, since the structure of cells can be mutated or altered, it would seem that changes in the functioning of an organ may be possible. But, since organs are fused cells - intelligence within cell functions may be something science can not truly understand, in the present. If cells can be altered, the chemicals excreted by their functions might possibly alter also . . .unless the esoteric quality of [intelligence] remains the same - no matter the cell's alteration. How can intelligence be quantified? I don't know if science has been able to alter intelligence - inherent within cells of the body. (?) A cell can be placed into a Petri dish, isolated, and still it desires to perform from it's inherent intelligence !

In summary, radiations affect chemicals, yes, but in changing the intelligence of an organ when it is operating outside of the norm is a thought that has not been responded to yet in medical science ( I don't think ?). However, the chemicals the organ excretes can probably be altered - but the organ's intelligence has to be factored in. Can we alter intelligence? Does intelligence rule ; separate, yet over physical matter?

My POINT here is that medical science has shown it can cause organs to function at a higher level through stimulation; but, organs are not thereby healed. They require constant altering stimulation. So, the physically helpful alterations give us more enjoyment of life, BUT are not truly healing. It's a simulated "healing," for which we are grateful. To truly heal a condition requires altering the intelligence of the cells involved, I would think !

You've asked quite a question. . .

Answer 2

Certainly. Paint deteriorates in sunlight because the ultraviolet rays damage the chemical bonds in the paint. Some gases that will react when activated don't if kept in the dark (I think H and Cl qualify), but will combine if illuminated. Ultraviolet makes skin produce vitamin D. But the medical uses of the phenomenon are limited.

Answer 3

Yes it happens everyday, I work in a nuclear pharmacy compounding nuclear medicine for hospitals and clinics. Nuc. med is an awesome field that is expanding exponentially with new discoveries all of the time. Check out PET (positron emission tomography) to see some of the awesome uses of these isotopes. Bexxar is a radio isotope tagged medicine that give people suffering from non Hodgkin's lymphoma years added to their likes. Nuc. med is truly the new frontier of medical advances.

Answer 4

oooh. good one... lemme remember four factors that affect rate of reaction are: 1) temperature (increases mean speed of particles) or anything else which will increase mean energy, such as the application of EMR 2) concentration (increases density of particles) 3) reaction order (some reactions occur in linear, some geometric given the shape of the molecules) 4) catalysts and solvents (affect the EM interactions of the particles by lowering activation energy

Answer 5

Yes,

The way I know is I just got braces, and they attach the braces to my teeth with what my orthodontist called an actuater-inhibitor.
It was a pasty substance and when he shined a ultraviolent light it hardened. He said sunlight would further the process.

Hope that helps

of course! just look at tanning booths, raisins, some glues, paint, etc. overcoming diabetes? who knows...... bristol meyers has been working on that for years.... they suspect that a slightly radioactive "pellet" can stimulate the pancreas into properly regulating blood sugars, but can't get FDA approval for human testing..... worked in diabetic rats, though.
