The radiation effect of the = Gastein=20 Healing Gallery

Moderate alpha rays in the form of the inert gas = Radon=20 coming from deep cracks in the mountain massive around Bad = Gastein=20 have been made medically useful for the public coming for = cures for=20 thousands of years (Gastein Thermal Springs). The opening up = of just=20 such a system of cracks by the miners led to the founding of = the=20 Cure Enterprise Gasteiner Heilstollen (Gastein Healing = Gallery) in=20 the fifties, in which Radon concentrations of an average of = 43=20 kBq/m=B3 (maximal 160 kBq/m=B3) in temperatures of up to = 41.5=B0C and air=20 for breathing that is saturated with humidity are available = for=20 therapies. Radon is a radio-active element of the earth=92s = crust in=20 the form of gas that provides the substantial contribution = of=20 natural background radiation through its pronounced mobility = in air=20 and water. For millions of years, life on earth has been = accompanied=20 by Radon and its effects. Historical and modern medical uses = of this=20 natural radiation report the same bio-positive results in = the form=20 of regulatory and stimulating effects on the metabolism, the = immune=20 system and inner secretory processes.

A classical cure in the Gastein Healing Gallery = provides=20 the guest with a radiation dosage of 230 mrem (2,3 mSv) per = year.=20 This value is about the equivalent of the dosage that is = received as=20 natural background radiation during the year where the guest = usually=20 lives (1.5 to 2.5 mSv), so that the guest doubles his/her = natural=20 yearly dosage through the cure. The in 500 =961000 fold = dosage areas=20 determined from concrete data (dropping of an atom bomb, = uranium=20 miners, incidents at nuclear power stations), only = interpolated in=20 the lower dosage area but nevertheless until today the = linear=20 dosage-effect relationship of the ICRP used exclusively in = radiation=20 protection, does not allow for positive radiation effects = even in=20 the low dosage area. Thereby a climate for our planet is = presumed,=20 that has existed for millions of years, that we should = protect=20 ourselves from. In contrast to this is the extremely = successful and=20 so far unique evolution of biological life, that would = hardly have=20 developed in this climate hostile to life, if it were=20 so.

The above correction of the dosage-effect = (Hormesis curve)=20 would better describe the development of the biological life = of the=20 earth, as also the extensive positive effects of moderate = Radon=20 usage, it however throws up the question of a threshold = value=20 (reversal of the effect), to which as a result of the too = low=20 epidemiological data in low dosage no generally valid = statements can=20 be made.

The worldwide experience of thousands of years in = the=20 medical uses of Radon have so far shown no grounds for = harmful=20 effects, but have confirmed considerable therapeutic = successes in=20 this therapy form in innumerable individual applications. = Scientific=20 studies on population groups from regions with geologically=20 conditioned high background radiation (Scandinavia, India, = USA)=20 report lower (!) cancer death rates to comparable groups = with lower=20 natural background radiation. Finally no negative effects = are known=20 in population groups from classical areas of Radon use, as = also in=20 the numerous people who work in Radon therapy centres for = the good=20 of their patients.
