Nope: Maybe covering yourself in lead - or if you have the bucks, gold, might help - but careful - remember the girl in gold finger!

Ah, the days of : Being a platinum medallion! the risk of flying is too low to seek an anti-radiation drug. But think about it, do the pilots and flight attendants use anything? Ask them. It has been well studied. No excess risk of any cancer.
