Episode 36: Eben Byers and a Brief History of Radithor
Eben Byers was born into money, was well-educated, and was successful, and the ladies loved him. His life couldn’t have been going any better. Eben was prescribed Radithor by his doctor after an accident left him with chronic pain. A substance that was considered by many to be an energy drink or “cure all” to their various ailments. He felt like a whole new man after consuming high amounts of Radithor over a period of years. That is until his jaw began to fall off because Radithor was just radioactive water.
