He was born on April 12, 1880 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. Name Ebenezer McBurney Byers better known as Ebin Byers. The son of a noble family therefore did not lack in education. Studied in all big and famous institutions of America. There was no shortage of resources, so he left his job and concentrated on golf. In 1906, he won the American Amateur Golf Championship. Father Alexander Byers made his son the Chairman of the ‘Byers Company’.
This happiness of a happy life did not last long. He was returning home by train in November 1927. First class ticket. bunk bed Above is his place. He fell asleep there. The train jolted and he fell straight down on the floor of the train. He fell on his left hand. So there is severe pain in the left hand. He somehow fell asleep with the pain. When the train reached the destination after a few hours, he was the family doctor C. C. He went to Mayer. No fracture was detected on examination. The doctor prescribed ‘Radithor’, a popular medicine at that time, as a pain reliever. Doctor William J. said in the twenties. Bally developed Radithor as a painkiller without side effects.
He continued to take Radithor liquid as advised by the first doctor. The condition was improving with less pain, and it seemed like he was getting more energy in his body. The more Radithor consumed the liquid, the more cheerful his mind and body became and the healthier he felt. Then he started taking Radithor at will, ignoring the doctor’s advice. The amount varies from one spoonful to three bottles a day. He became so addicted that he consumed 1400 bottles of Radithor in three years from 1927 to 1930. Then an unprecedented event happened.
The skin of the body bursts open. His lower jaw loosened as if it would fall open at the touch. Then the skull burst open and the brain began to appear. In 1931, Ebin’s lower jaw was surgically removed. He died shortly after. What is the reason for this? Radithor is actually a mixture of radium, mesothorium and distilled water. In short, radioactive water. He was exposed to radium radiation. Alleged doctor William J. Bally is not an established doctor. The Radithor he made also killed him.
In 1896, Pierre Curie and Marie Curie discovered radium and radioactivity. However, people did not know how radioactive radium was. Ebin’s body was buried in a coffin sealed with lead to prevent radioactivity from spreading from his body. Radium has a half-life of 1600 years. It means 5 grams of radium will take 1600 years to irradiate 2.5 grams. From there it will take another 1600 years to get half. The amount of radium in Ebin’s body is understood.
The use of radium to produce light in human objects is much older, but the use of radium has been discontinued since the 1970s due to radioactivity.
