From direct exposure to a massive dose of ionizing radiation, you can't. You can only pray that enough of your cells are left intact for you to survive.

However, ingested radioactive isotopes can be removed from the body by chelating agents, for example. But palliative care may be as much as you can hope for. Sorry.

How do CFCs destroy ozone depletion by what?

CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) break down in the upper atmosphere due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation. This break down releases chlorine atoms, which then catalytically destroy ozone molecules in the stratosphere. This process leads to the thinning of the ozone layer, allowing more harmful UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface.


Can't you use ultra violet radiation to destroy cancer cells?

Yes, ultraviolet (UV) radiation is commonly used for disinfection purposes, but it is not typically used to destroy cancer cells. Cancer treatment usually involves targeted therapies like chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, immunotherapy, or a combination of these approaches, rather than UV radiation. UV radiation can be harmful to healthy cells and tissues, so its use in cancer treatment is limited.


Does microwave radiation really destroy all living organisms?

Microwave radiation does not inherently destroy all living organisms; its effects depend on the intensity, duration, and exposure conditions. In high doses, microwaves can heat and potentially kill cells, but at lower levels, they may not have significant harmful effects. Additionally, many organisms have varying levels of resistance to microwave radiation. Therefore, while microwaves can be lethal under certain circumstances, they do not universally destroy all living organisms.


What will not destroy prions?

Prions are resistant to normal sterilization methods such as heat, radiation, and chemical treatments. They can survive in harsh conditions and are not easily destroyed.


What type of electromagnetic radiation is used in imaging and radiation oncology?

X-rays are typically used in medical imaging to create images of the body's internal structures, while gamma rays are used in radiation oncology to treat cancer. Both forms of electromagnetic radiation can penetrate the body to visualize internal structures or target and destroy cancerous cells.
