Drink enough water to stay well hydrated. Drink alcohol as diuretic. Flush whatever’s in bloodstream - and radioactive particles that bind to cells will eventually kill these cells and get flushed into bloodstream alongside with remains of these dead cells. It’s then important to flush them before they get absorbed into something else.
She needs to wear a tracksuit first for it to work.
Fool! Who needs some fancy medicine when you can cure radiation with Vodka?! Like a true Slav! Hahaha!
The concept, on its own, still doesn’t though. Sure, urinating contaminated fluid will get rid of said contaminated fluid, but radiation in the human body tends to bond more to the actual organs, other soft tissues, and bones. Attempting to alleviate radiation sickness through excess urination would only result in dehydration, which might actually kill you faster.
But Kolobok is radioactive.

Actually, you’d both be surprised that there is in fact a nugget of truth to this. See, those radioactive molecules eventually have to go somewhere, getting passed through urine. You know what makes for an effective diuretic? Alcohol. The idea is, if you’re peeing more frequently, it’s more opportunities of removing radioactive materials from your body. Granted, this would work at best in a preventative sense, and would be more effective with the medication to help manage radiation, but it does provide a non-zero amount of benefit by itself.
Looking it up it appears to have bee something the USSR conjured up because they didn’t have anything else. But I suppose the theory was with thinner blood or something it’d help flush out radiation later or keep it from being absorbed into the body.
Which in itself is wrong since last I checked on top of that it’s not the radiation that’s absorbed into the body per-say, but what’s emitting it. Radioactive iodine absorbed by the thyroid gland, cessium-[somenumber] by the bones.

Perhaps because vodka makes you piss more?
Don’t worry, there’s no real science behind it xD .
Just like tobacco enemas don’t cure syphilis, trepanning doesn’t release caged demons or psychosis from the skull, and blood letting doesn’t cure the common cold. It’s all quack science that people made up based off of crazy random guessing.
Evidently in the real-world it’s a folk cure of preventative medicine for radiation exposure, although I’m none to sure about the science behind it. But in the old Soviet-block and post USSR republics it’s something you hit by the bottle when visiting places like the old Soviet nuclear testing ranges in Kazakhstan.
The theory may have something to do with thinning the blood lessens radiation absorption but what the fuck do I know.
