		'''Eben McBurney Byers''' (April 12, 1880 - March 31, 1932) was a wealthy American socialite, athlete, and industrialist who earned notoriety in the 1930s after a gruesome illness and death caused by radiation poisoning resulting from the consumption of a popular patent medicine made from radium dissolved in water.
		The son of industrialist Alexander Byers, he was educated at St. Paul's School and Yale College, where he earned a reputation as an athlete and ladies' man. Byers eventually became the chairman of the Girard Iron Company, which had been created by his father, and was the U.S. Amateur Golf Champion of 1907.
		Bailey was a Harvard College dropout who falsely claimed to be a doctor of medicine and who became rich from the sale of Radithor, which he made by dissolving radium in water to high concentrations, and which he held could cure many ailments by stimulating the endocrine glands.

		Byers complained of persistent pain and a doctor suggested that he take Radithor, a patent medicine manufactured by William J. Bailey.
		Bailey was a Harvard College dropout who falsely claimed to be a doctor of medicine and who became rich from the sale of Radithor, which he made by dissolving radium in water to high concentrations, and which he held could cure many ailments by stimulating the endocrine system.
		By 1930, when he stopped taking the remedy, he had accumulated significant amounts of radium in his bones, leading to fractures, lesions, loss of teeth, and eventually the loss of most of his jaw and to the appearance of holes in his skull.

		Among other things, Byers considered himself something of a bon vivant and became concerned when in his 40s he found that he could no longer party all night without suffering from exhaustion for the next few days.
		Byers' rejuvenated vitality was caused by his body's reaction to the assault of the radiation, an increase in red blood cell production by his bone marrow.
		Had Byers endeavored to learn about Radithor and to consider the possible long-term effects of exposure to radiation, which were known in medical circles at the time (Macklis, 1990), then he might have concluded that in this case the disadvantages of Radithor outweighed the purported advantages.

		In late 1927, as Evans was about to enter graduate school at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Eben Byers, the well-known industrialist, aging playboy, and former U.S. amateur golf champion, fell out of his private berth in a Pullman train and injured his arm.
		In any event, Byers was so satisfied with the results (his arm got better too) that he continued to partake of Radithor until 1928, at which point the ensuing headaches and toothaches drove him once again to the medical profession.
		The diagnosis was that Byers’ body was decomposing (his teeth were already falling out) due to its massive amounts of incorporated radium.

		Eben Byers, a millionaire, socialite, sportsman, and industrialist (when that was a "good thing") died notoriously in 1932 from using Radithor, a radium elixir, ingesting massive quantities of radium.

		Starting with Eben Byers' death in 1932, radiation protection policies and research have increasingly fostered public fears and supported costly government regulations and programs largely borne directly by the public by pass-through in their medical and utility bills.

		The amount of radium (equivalent Ra-226) ingested by Eben Byers daily is roughly 2,000,000 times the EPA limits, drinking 1 liter/day at 5 pCi/l.
		The FDA did not assess effects of ingesting radium, or other radiation treatments, on the populations that, like Eben Byers, were using radiation for its beneficial effects (especially those who were not being exposed to the doses of daily ingesting 3-4 bottles of radium water containing 1 uCi Ra-226 and 1 uCi of Ra-228 each).
		The FDA did not explain Byers’ use as an ‘overdose’; nor clarify that Byers’ death from bone necrosis and complications was not from the latent risk of cancer at lower doses.
