No, radium is very radioactive (emitting alpha, beta, AND gamma) and acts chemically as if it was calcium. This causes any radium that enters the body to become incorporated into the bones, where its intense radiation kills the cells that make bone (causing the bones to weaken and eventually crumble) and the blood producing cells in the marrow (causing anemia and weakening the immune system allowing severe infections to develop).
