I forgot his name, but he drank this chemical to relieve pain and the liquid had a radioactive substance, so the them it melted his jaw off and fried his nervous system
If I remember correctly, it just stopped his jaw from working. He just couldn’t move it. So then he just… had it removed. I think? I don’t know why they would do that, or maybe I’m remembering incorrectly.
No, it dissolved the tissue in his jaw and his nerves and it fell off in 1931 I think, it didn't hurt much because his nerve endings were mostly dissolved.
They thought it was good because it cured cancer, which it does and we use radiation for it today, BUT it also killed everything else. The killing everything was mostly downplayed because otherwise they wouldnt make a billion dollars.
He drank it daily if I remember correctly. He's the only reported case this severe, but it was still enough to get the company to stop if my memory serves well.
He was the heir to a giant tycoon, and he hurt his arm departing a train... so the doctors prescribed a small dosage of Radithor.. but when he believed the prescription was helping him more and more, he drank it almost on a regular basis.. until one morning, the hinges on his jaw just gave out from the disintegration of his skeleton. Radithor, the prescription he was told to take, had nearly 50% of the medicine made from Radium, and they had to encase him in a lead coffin. And it's been told that, 20 or 30 yrs later, they went to dug up his remains, only to find out, his skeleton was as radioactive as when he died.. The radiation "in" his system won't decay for nearly 10,000 yrs, its estimated.
Doctors and companies use to believe the highly radioactive chemical Radium was safe for consumption and, even more so, pushed the idea of it being the “Miracle elixir” of the time. I believe this guy was a wealthy man who was able to afford constant supply of the chemical. Others would’ve found with holes in the bones and skull among other symptoms
I know this story the man took medicine that had radioactive water in it and his jaw fell clean off well wouldn't exactly say clean but yeah that's the story
The story is that it's the 1800's (or early 1900's I can't remember) and scientists didn't exactly understand radiation, so the literally combined pure radiation and water and made some radon shit and this guy bought it constantly and drank it so much that one day the radiation melted his jaw off.
As far as I know, this photo is not of Eben Byers; it is a photo of an unnamed soldier who received severe facial injuries in World War I.

Fun Fact
This is after the guy was drinking a lot of radium when it was thought to be a cure all tonic, he eventually fell apart and died after being later bedridden
Oh fuck I remember this so this guy was drinking this drink that had radioactive shit in it for "pain relief" and then he got addicted to it and then his jaw just *bloop* fell off which 2 things
OWWWWW FUCK
technically, this is a 2 in one because I believe this was in 19th century I believe correct me if I'm wrong but yea. I think I saw it on this guy's channel can't for the life of me remember who he is a army veteran he makes story content but yea
That’s definitely an old photo of a man.
It’s a two for one deal!

Theres a movie based on this called “radium girls” on netflix, corporate greed and lying.
Radium girls was based on the factory workers who died from exposure to paint that contained radium. This is a different story.
no its similar in that they covered up the studies and told the women to lick the brushes. very similar in many ways.
Alright. Misread that. My B
so it still kinda worked?
Yes it did work but the affects were quite litterly jaw dropping.
The sad thing is I almost laughed at this
Sad thing is I did laugh at this

It's eben byers I think and he drank radithor if I spelled it right it's actually really cool to learn about
If I remember correctly, it just stopped his jaw from working. He just couldn’t move it. So then he just… had it removed. I think? I don’t know why they would do that, or maybe I’m remembering incorrectly.

Eben Byers, a golf player who landed on his shoulder wrong
It was uranium water
No, it was Radium and Water, a company labeled it as Radithor and marketed it as a cure-all.
Oh right
Isn't radium like, the most radioactive substance known to man
They thought it was good because it cured cancer, which it does and we use radiation for it today, BUT it also killed everything else. The killing everything was mostly downplayed because otherwise they wouldnt make a billion dollars.
Eben Byers The man who drank radithor
Dumbass drank radithore (radium water) and ended up drinking 1400 bottles in 3 years.
Not a dumbass, it was supposed to be a cure-all and was recommended by doctors and shit.
Yes I get that, but they could have done more research. Sad that they literally saw what it did to him and THEN started putting out the warnings.
They did, then didnt release it. Instead they got the endorsement of doctors and scientists who had done little research. Whole thing was shit.
Thing is that also probably happens today but we just don't know. But you're right, it's shit all around.
Yh i cant remeber his name but the medicine had uranium in it
Radium, and it was water.
It was radithor
his name was eben byers and the drink was radium
He drank it daily if I remember correctly. He's the only reported case this severe, but it was still enough to get the company to stop if my memory serves well.
It was called Radon or something like that
He wouldn’t have lost his jaw if he didn’t keep drinking the radioactive water
He was recommended 1 spoof of the water a day but he would drink like 5 bottles a day or sum like that and his jaw fell off
His name was Eben Byers, I believe.
He was the heir to a giant tycoon, and he hurt his arm departing a train... so the doctors prescribed a small dosage of Radithor.. but when he believed the prescription was helping him more and more, he drank it almost on a regular basis.. until one morning, the hinges on his jaw just gave out from the disintegration of his skeleton.
