Computed Tomography (CT) scans, also known as CAT scans, are remarkably quick, which is fantastic if your doctor needs information right away. A CT scan is the emergency go-to for spotting the extent of internal trauma. But it’s becoming overused, putting patients at future risk. Unnecessary diagnostic imaging remains a substantial problem in the U.S.
(My mission has become to provide solutions (natural, available protocols) to address these often necessary intrusions using God-given medicines that have often been hidden from us. Examples: DMSO, nebulizing various protocols, natural nicotine, ivermectin, gadolinium and lead detox, homeopathy, methylene blue, raw honey, turmeric, and more. At the end of this post, are several ways to address ionizing radiation from CT scans and nuclear medicine.)
A CT scan uses what’s called “ionizing” radiation. (source) It’s powerful enough to pass through your body to create clear images on a computer. This type of radiation could raise your chances of cancer at some point in the future.
A chest X-ray typically exposes a patient to about 0.1 millisieverts (mSv) of radiation. In contrast, a chest CT scan can expose the patient to approximately seven mSv or more, depending on the protocol. (source)
Overuse of the CT Scan Is Very Risky
A multi-institutional group of researchers from The Institute of Cancer Research (London, UK), Kaiser Permanente (WA, USA) and the University of California (CA, USA) have uncovered that the overuse of CT scans in the USA, could contribute to over 100,000 cases of cancer annually, including nearly 10,000 in children. (source)
This new study in JAMA Internal Medicine found that CT scans are be linked to a much larger number of future cancer cases than many people expected.
The study estimated that about 93 million computed tomography (CT) scans were performed in the United States in 2023. Researchers projected that they could contribute to about 103,000 future cancer cases since ionizing radiation from CT is a known carcinogen. (source)
Study Conclusions: These findings suggest that if current CT scan radiation dosing and utilization practices continue, CT-associated cancers could eventually account for 5% of all new cancer diagnoses annually. (source)
The projected number of radiation-induced cancers in this analysis is 3 to 4 times higher than the earlier assessment of CT exposure for several reasons.10
Who Gets Affected by CT Scans Most?
Unborn babies carried by pregnant moms, plus infants and children, face a higher risk per scan because their bodies are still developing and they have more years ahead for radiation-related cancers to appear. Even so, most of the projected cancer cases are expected to occur in adults. This is mainly because adults receive far more CT scans overall. (source)
In adults, the cancers most often predicted from CT-related radiation include lung cancer, colon cancer, leukemia, and bladder cancer. (source) In children, the study pointed to future thyroid, lung, and breast cancers as important concerns.
Abdominal and pelvic CT scans were projected to cause the greatest number of cancers. These and other examination types, such as high-dose abdomen and pelvis, full body, and spine CT, incur greater risks on average per examination because they frequently use multiple scan phases that result in higher doses.29,30 Often these examinations could use single-phase scanning, which would lower doses without impacting diagnostic accuracy.
The main message is that doctors should order CT scans thoughtfully and carefully, avoid or refuse ordering scans that are not medically necessary – and when it is necessary, use the lowest radiation dose that still gives useful images.

Can One Protect From Ionizing Radiation After a CT Scan?
Yes, I believe so if we look at the science.
Clinoptilolite zeolites (CZ) such as Advanced TRS are simply very, very tiny crystalline minerals which have the remarkable ability to absorb radioactive radium, strontium, cesium and more.[11] Nuclear waste is typically “cleaned” or “stored” in the environment by mixing it with zeolite and packing it underground. Zeolites can attach themselves to and remove nuclear waste at the molecular level.[12]
Perhaps the best evidence proving that CZ helps detoxification of radiation was its widespread usage in the nuclear meltdowns at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and the British Nuclear Fuels (BNF) plant at Sellafield, where it is used to absorb radioactive materials from walls and floors.[14] US nuclear weapons facilities use zeolites to line walls and floors to prevent toxicity.
Advanced TRS, a clinoptilolite nanozeolite in purified water, can also be taken internally for detoxing after radiation exposure. Specifically, clinoptilolite zeolite (CZ) has been used for detoxing post-radiation. It was given in cookies and pills to counteract Chernobyl’s fallout. And one study found that Zeolite was an effective decontaminant for sheep affected by the nuclear waste disaster in Scotland after Chernobyl.[13]
I do not claim that Advanced TRS, a pure clinoptilolite zeolite (CZ), can adsorb all ionizing radiation. However, due to the widespread use of CZ in nuclear events with severe radiation exposure, we upped my husband’s normal daily number of TRS sprays to a whole 150-spray bottle (divided into thirds with good hydration) right after an emergency abdominal/pelvic CT scan. We both have taken TRS daily for years (since 2019) because I distribute TRS, so after the resulting surgery, he consumed 2 more bottles of TRS in 2 weeks before going back to his normal 5 sprays a day. He is fully back to work here on the farm and expanding our small grass-fed cattle operation. I am comfortable that I have done all I can do to mitigate much of that radiation and harm from the plethora of pharma drugs he was given.
Lastly, CT scans often involve the use of a contrast agent, so I wanted to chelate that out, too, similar to how we bind out MRI contrast gadolinium using TRS.

Hi Jacqueline,
I recently had a CAC scan done to prove to my doctor that eating a ketogenic diet and having “high” cholesterol is not hurting me. Results were 0.0% 😊 Anyway, I hope I didnt harm myself by having this scan. I also have amalgam fillings that I cannot have removed. Is there a specific protocol I need to use to get started on TRS before merging into a maintained faze? Thanks!
Jacqueline
Jessica, if the scan is done only once, this level of radiation may not be a significant health risk, but I am thinking like you … work to mitigate what you received and lower the radiation level. A very good thing, in the meantime you will be cleaning up multiple other areas in your body. If you have had multiple CT scans, of course, the risk goes way up.
I would start just the normal schedule: 1 spray/d for a week, 2 sprays AM/ day for the second week, third week 3sprays per day split am and pm, and so on till you are up to 5/d. To bind/chelate the ionizing radiation from the recent CAC, you could be bold and start with 10 sprays right off for 3 days to mop up the rads, and then drop down to the schedule above and follow that. It depends on your temperament!
A maintenance dose would be 2-3 sprays per day. Just know that each spray grabs x amount and it is excreted (without redistribution) in the urine and stool. They may smell quite a bit stronger and stools may be bulkier.
If you haven’t already, please read this to the end for PubMed studies and anecdotal testimonies from real people using TRS, a clinoptilolite zeolite: https://deeprootsathome.com/why-zeolite-is-so-good-for-cleaning-up-the-body/
As for amalgams, if you get a chance, read this: https://deeprootsathome.com/smoking-teeth-video-evidence-that-dental-amalgams-are-toxic/
People regularly use TRS to prevent having to go through the ordeal of removing all their amalgams and grab out what is leaching daily.
And those in the know about this product, use it extensively at the time of removal and afterwards to clean up the free floating mercury in the blood stream before it deposits in the long bones and brain.
For any one who starts this fabulous gentle detox, At time of order, I send an automated 3 email chain to help have the best cleanse/detox experience possible. The schedule is included.
I hope that helps.
Blessings,
Jacqueline

Hi again Jacqueline!
I placed my first order for TRS using your link. Would I be able to send you an email? I had another question concerning usage of the product that I don’t want to post here. Thanks!
Jacqueline
Hi, Jessica,
I just emailed you some information I normally send after a purchase (so you have the best possible experience). Feel free to email me back, and we can more privately talk there.

Hi Jacque! Baking soda baths are supposed to be very helpful for countering effects of radiation exposure. People can use ~2-4 cups per bath, 2-3 baths per week. Detox baths can be taken daily, but not more than that (~24 hours apart). Baking soda is cheap from feed stores. We get 50-lb. bags and transfer into 5-gallon pails for storage. I keep a large jug full in the bathroom and refill as needed.
The Healthy Home Economist has excellent info about detox baths of many kinds.
Katie
Jacqueline
Katie,
Yes, baking soda baths are great for so many things, and we do use them for support occasionally! I’ve already written on it a number of times: https://deeprootsathome.com/how-to-detox-aspartame-the-sweet-poison/
and https://deeprootsathome.com/detox-sprayed-insecticides/
We rely on TRS to get more out faster with no side effects and very little time investment and it is continuous, not to mention all the other stuff it cleans up along the way.
In many cases where someone is really fighting harm from outside forces, we really need to use all means possible to keep ahead of the poisons.
Glad you mentioned it! ~Jacque
Sarah
Do you have any resources for TRS that show that it does not cause redistribution of metals to organs, thyroid, brain, or eyes? This is the concern with anything that can pull/attach to metals, and I have yet to find anything that has been proven to be safe without any long-term affects. TRS is one of heavy concern because it does cross the blood-brain barrier. Do you have any research to share on this?
Jacqueline
Sarah, please look into this post: https://deeprootsathome.com/why-zeolite-is-so-good-for-cleaning-up-the-body/ This contains ~26 PubMed studies and also ~30 anecdotal stories at the end.
TRS is not like EDTA which does redistribute metals and toxins. TRS encapsulates the offending metals and positively charged particles and carries them held fast out of the body. TRS is clinoptilolite zeolite mineral and water in a cage like structure that attracts (adsorbs) anything positively charged (which is basically all toxins ~80,000 of them).
You can also check this out for how earth-mined and lab created pure nano-zeolite compare. It is technical data: https://deeprootsathome.com/pbx-vs-trs-siliconaluminum-ratio-lead-content-matter/
“The strong attraction of zeolites for toxins is the result of the hollow cages inside the zeolite. The strong bonds between the Silicon-Oxygen and the Aluminum-Oxygen elements create the nanometers-sized hollow cages, leaving the interior space within the cage with a negative electrical charge. Therefore, elements and molecular fragments with positive-charge are strongly adhered, sometimes by multiple connections, making it very difficult for the captured species to escape. Zeolites, like that in Advanced TRS, have the capability of absorbing any toxin or toxic metal found in a positively-charged state. Approximately ~80,000 exist.”
his is my personal link: https://www.coseva.com/products/advanced-trs?ref=inspiredhealthtrs I’d love to work with you for a better health outcome.
I hope that helps,

I’m definitely timid about using anything and am very skeptical of any “science” that claims that it lowers metal levels in tissues when that is not something they can test via blood, hair or urine. I used CellCore fulvic & humic acid “binder” (it’s really a chelator they mislabel as a binder) and it severely poisoned my organs – still trying to survive from this incident 3.5 years ago. Their products were tested on pigs and in the environment, which are both very different from the human body. Have you worked with anyone who has had a bad reaction to CellCore/fulvic & humic acid?
Jacqueline
Sarah, that is horrible! I while I have heard of the products, I’ve not heard of it being harmful. I wonder how they can get away with testing it “in the environment” when it a product meant for humans? Sad.
I would need to say, though that we can test TRS’s effectiveness with a metals hair test, and many have. I’ve seen the tests. My last 2 tests were very low (what I was hoping to see) and convinced me (after nearly 8 years of continuous use) that it is doing what I want it to do – lower metals. We have 6 bright and healthy grandchildren under 6 who were born to our daughter and DIL taking it during the last half of pregnancy to get the womb to be a safer place with all the chemicals in moms and their breast milk these days. We continue to take it daily here on the farm due to being outside with all the chemtrails: https://deeprootsathome.com/what-to-do-about-the-aluminum-barium-were-breathing/
I am hoping you start to heal and can get past that harm. I am praying for you, Sarah!
Sending peace,
Jacqueline
Katie
Hi Sarah – I just wanted to share with you that I’m also very skeptical of any detox product. I trust Jacqueline’s info re: TRS, but have not used it much myself (I experienced detox symptoms with it). There are other ways to detox that are more gentle and my body handles better. Things like meat stock (not long-simmered bone broth), detox baths, getting enough electrolytes – a good traditional diet like what the Weston A. Price Foundation teaches.
Things like NAC, diatomaceous earth, homemade borax supplement are options for heavy metal detox. Jacqueline has a recipe for the homemade borax supplement. You can look up the other things here on her blog, too. I don’t know if she has written about all of them. The Healthy Home Economist has info about gentle detoxing, too.
I have not researched humic acid and fulvic acid in depth, but I have heard of some folks having good success w/ supplements like those. I do know those things occur in healthy soil, so I assume what I need will be in the food I grow in the soil that has humic acid and fulvic acid!

After 10 y of wearing a X-over hearing aid, I got a sharp headache right where it sat over my ear. That type of aid sends MW radiation through the brain to a hearing aid MW receiver on the other side. I treated the probable tumor w/ Ivermectin and Fenbendazole daily. In a few days no pain and I continued for two weeks. It never returned in 2 y.
I’m using the same anti-parasitics for other possible cancers.
Jacqueline
Wow, that is scary, Kurt.. Thank you for bringing that to our attention here.
I am very aware of air pods and blutooth phones, but hadn’t thought much about hearing aids!
Airpods are quite dangerous and apparently that type of hearing aid using MW is too. https://deeprootsathome.com/10-risky-reasons-your-kids-and-you-shouldnt-use-airpods/
I am glad you did what you did! And that you are doing well now, but you might look into this brand of essiac tea as an added preventative: https://deeprootsathome.com/everyone-with-any-cancer-should-be-taking-essiac-3x-daily/
Keep up the good and wise response!
Blessings,
Jacque
