Nuclear radiation water can cure diseases!?
Nearly 100 years ago, Americans simply admired nuclear radiation water, until the following photo was exposed by the American media:

The horrifying appearance of the man in the photo has caused Americans to panic, and they are desperate to know who the man is. Why did he become such a non-human and non-ghostly appearance?
Noble sons and accidents
Through the New York Times, it was learned that the man's name was "Eben Byers".
Wait a minute! Eben Biles?
This answer is very surprising to people, knowing that Eben was a famous athlete and socialite in the United States at that time.
Eben Charles was once a handsome teenager
In 1880, the wife of industrialist Alexander Byers gave birth to a son for him, and Alexander was very happy, and he excitedly named his son Ebenezer Macburney, hoping that his son would grow up safe and healthy, and preferably inherit his mantle.
Because the name was so long, Alexander and his wife always called their son by the affectionate and simple nickname "Eben".
In order to get his son a good enough education, Alexander devoted a lot of effort to Angstrom itself. And Eben did not disappoint his father, as a veritable rich second generation, Eben is not as keen to eat, drink and have fun as other rich second generation. Instead, he preferred to play golf with his father and learn business management.

Eben later attended St. Paul's School and Yale University, and joined the golf team during his studies, becoming a prominent athlete as an athlete with his excellent batting operations.
In 1902 and 1903, Eben won consecutive runners-up in the American Amateur Golf Tournament, but this result apparently did not satisfy Eben, and he privately increased his training for golf. In 1906, Eben, whose strength had greatly improved, participated in the American Amateur Golf Tournament, easily defeating a number of opponents and winning the championship. This has earned him the love and support of a large number of sports enthusiasts.

Of course, becoming a golfer is obviously not Eben's ultimate pursuit in life, he wants to become a powerful industrialist like his father Alexander.
Under his father's guidance, Eben got his wish and became chairman of the Girard Steel Company, which his father founded.
Based on business needs, Eben is very active in American social circles, and he often visits Palm Beach; Racing stables are kept in both the United States and the United Kingdom; Retained boxes at Forbes Baseball Stadium in Pittsburgh; He has also purchased properties in Pittsburgh, Southampton, Lea, and South Carolina...
If Esint had lived healthily, the name of the rich second generation might have been left in the history of American industry.
But an accident in 1927 changed Eben's fate. At that time, Eben was traveling on a train on official business and accidentally fell on a railway sleeper, seriously injuring his arm.
Nuclear radiation water and death
This accident caused Eben's arm to have persistent pain, and the tortured Eben was very emaciated, and had no choice but to go to the hospital to ask a doctor for treatment. The doctor in charge of treating Eben, Charles Clinton Moyar, examined Eben's arm and recommended a patented drink, Radithor, to Eben.
Patented drink – Radithor
Charles told Eben that Radithor, researched and manufactured by William J. A. Bailey, could relieve pain and stimulate the human endocrine system by "radium supplement", making it more visible to the user.
Eben was very impressed when he actually made his arm no longer hurt by drinking Radithor, and he believed in the magic of Radithor even recommended it to his friends and business partners.

After solving the arm problem, Eben originally wanted to stop using Radithor, but thought that Charles said that Radithor could be healthy, so he decided to insist on taking it, but after drinking about 1400 bottles of Radithor, Eben's body became abnormal.
Sometime in October 1930, Eben began to have headaches and lost teeth one after another, and Eben learned that his friends who also took Radithor also had more or less physical problems.
Eben is shocked to realize that Radithor is not a "miracle medicine" at all, it is arsenic disguised as honey!
Patients harmed by Radithor
Eben immediately stopped taking Radithor and sued Mr. Bailey, the maker of Radithor, and Charles, the doctor who prescribed him, to the Federal Trade Commission.
In September 1931, the Trade Commission of the Union sent lawyer Robert Heiner Winn to interview Eben and take the seriously ill Eben to court.
According to Winn himself:
"When we went, we found Eben's situation difficult to describe ... Although he was in high spirits, he could barely speak. Eben, whose head is covered in bandages, has undergone two surgeries and had his entire upper jaw and most of his lower jaw cut off except for two front teeth. The remaining bone tissue in his body is slowly decomposing, and holes have appeared in his skull..."
Eben was miserable by Radithor
After Winn left, Eben counted the days in the hope that his case would be won, but unfortunately, until Byers was tortured to death, there was still no progress in the case.
Since Eben was a well-known athlete and socialite in the United States at the time, his death attracted the attention of the American media.
The American media dug deep into the cause of Eben's death, only to know that Eben was killed by Radithor, and the so-called "Radithor" is actually a kind of nuclear radiation water, which contains trace amounts of radium and thorium, both radioactive elements are obviously harmful to the human body, Eben long-term drinking this nuclear radiation water, how can the body not have problems?
Radithor is simply a type of nuclear-radiated water
Lessons from the past require vigilance
In response to Eben's death from radioactive water, Dr. Frederick Bonner Flynn of Columbia University came to a conclusion by examining Eben's remains:
"This distilled water drink containing radium and thorium, made by Bailey, dies when 10 micrograms of radium are added to the body. And Eben's bones have 36 micrograms of radium scattered, and rapid death is his only ending. ”
Flynn's conclusion that Gaeben's death prompted the Trade Commission to speed up restrictions on "radium therapy" and "radium products", and the American people abandoned the red pole "radio" therapy at the time for fear of ending up in the same fate as Eben.
A patient who was injured by radium water like Eben
As for the hapless Eben, he was buried in a lead coffin in a lead coffin because his body contained a large amount of radioactive elements, and he was buried in the Alighany Cemetery in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Until more than 30 years later, researchers found that Eben's bones were still feverish, and it seemed that although Eben died, radioactive elements such as radium used his bones as a hotbed, and the "activity" was very stable.
