Radithor ☢

3D Model

Radithor was a patent medicine that is a well-known example of radioactive quackery and specifically of excessively broad and pseudoscientific application of the principle of radiation hormesis. It consisted of triple distilled water containing at a minimum 1 microcurie (37 kBq) each of the radium 226 and 228 isotopes.

The time of Radithor and radioactive elixirs ended in 1932, with the premature death of one of its most fervent users, Eben Byers, a young American industrial billionaire. The history of Radithor is considered an excessive and pseudo-scientific application of radiation hormesis. This history has led to the strengthening of regulatory control of pharmaceutical and radioactive products.
