BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF RADON - 100 YEARS OF RADON THERAPY [PDF, 114 KB], by Prof. Dr. Klaus Becker, (Boothstr. 27, d-12207 Berlin/Germany, prof.dr.klaus.becker@t-online.de)
Abstract: Supplementing a recent review on human health effects of radon as a potential test for the LNT hypothesis (Becker 2003), this compilation of biopositive radon uses, in particular for the treatment of painful degenerative joint and spine diseases, covers mainly the century of large-scale use and scientific studies on this subject since the discovery of radon. Most of those studies and experiences originated in Western Europe, in particular Germany and Austria, but also in the former Soviet Union other countries such as Japan. They have in common that they are relatively little represented and known in the anglophonic scientific literature, where radon therapy is still frequently considered as a somewhat controversial “traditional medicine” closely related to placebo effects, which should not be compared with the use of drugs such as non-steroid anti-rheumatica.
This review summarizes, based on the substantial experiences as reflected in a selection of about hundred references, from more than one thousand which have been published on this subject, that radon therapy by inhalation or bathes is established as an effective treatment not only by empirical observations in different civilizations, but also in randomized clinical double-blind studies (Pratzel 1992). It should be further explored as an effective and inexpensive alternative to the use of pharmaca, which cause, unlike radon, serious side-effects with more than 10.000 casualties annually. It is demonstrated that the benefits in the adequate use of low-dose radiation exposures far exceed the hypothetical lung cancer risk attributed to the inhalation even of low radon concentrations, which is claimed by supporters of the LNT/collective dose assumption. Further research could provide further explanation of the mechanism of the stimulatory radon effect on the body’s defence systems.

"Moderate alpha rays in the form of the inert gas Radon coming from deep cracks in the mountain massive around Bad Gastein have been made medically useful for the public coming for cures for thousands of years (Gastein Thermal Springs). The opening up of just such a system of cracks by the miners led to the founding of the Cure Enterprise Gasteiner Heilstollen (Gastein Healing Gallery) in the fifties, in which Radon concentrations of an average of 43 kBq/m³ (maximal 160 kBq/m³) in temperatures of up to 41.5°C and air for breathing that is saturated with humidity are available for therapies."

Scientific Principles of the Health Treatments in Bad Gastein and Bad Hofgastein [PDF, 2006, 42 KB] by Peter DEETJEN, Professor, Ph.D. Head of the Scientific Staff of the Research Institute Gastein - Tauernregion, and Head of the Department of Physiology and Balneology, University of Innsbruck, 1997, Sem. Reports Salzburg Austria ISSN 0256 - 4173. [Note: This 1997 report has been replaced by a 2004-2006 edition. The link has been revised, but the quote below is from the 1997 version pending revision.]
     "The history of the Gastein region as a health resort dates back to the Middle Ages. Long before the spring water became the subject of any scientific research, practical experience had shown which diseases were most helped by the treatment. These include the more painful chronic rheumatic conditions such as deformation or degeneration of the joints and inflamation of muscles, tendons or joints. Bechterev’s disease, spondylitis, spondylarthritis, osteochondrosis, neuralgia, chronic neuritis, difficulties in movement after an accident or sport injury, peripheral circulatory problems, slow healing wounds or injuries (e.g. ulcer cruris, parodontosis) and some of the problems associated with old age and degeneration have all been treated in Bad Gastein and Bad Hofgastein with some degree of success. Finally, to this list should be added complications involving the endocrine system, preclimacteric and climacteric difficulties, and impotentia coeundi et generandi.
   "It may seem surprising that one treatment is prescribed for such a wide range of conditions. Indeed, many of the effects are only known from experience, and have still to be properly explained on a medical basis. However, modern scientific methods are producing mmore and more significant findings which will lead to a better understanding of the subject. Analysis have shown that the most active component of the Gastein thermal water is Radon-222."
     "The Gastein water meets all the official Austrian standards for "treatment water" as defined by the "Austrian Heilvorkommen-law*** ) " and "Austrian Kurort-law ****)".
     "The temperature markedly exceeds the required minimum of 20 °C and the concentration of Radon-222 (20.0 nCi/l) is also higher than the minimum of 10 nCi/l. (i.e., 10,000 pCi/l)"

Biochemical Comparison between Radon Effects and Thermal Effects on Humans in Radon Hot Spring Therapy [PDF, 85 KB], Kiyonori YAMAOKA, Fumihiro MITSUNOBU, Katsumi HANAMOTO, Koichi SHIBUYA, Shuji MORI, Yoshiro TANIZAKI and Katsuhiko SUGITA, Journal of Radiation Research, Vol. 45 (2004) No. 1, pp.83-88
        "The radioactive and thermal effects of radon hot spring were biochemically compared under a sauna room or hot spring conditions with a similar chemical component, using the parameters that are closely involved in the clinic for radon therapy. The results showed that the radon and thermal therapy enhanced the antioxidation functions, such as the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, which inhibit lipid peroxidation and total cholesterol produced in the body. Moreover the therapy enhanced concanavalin A (ConA)-induced mitogen response and increased the percentage of CD4 positive cells, which is the marker of helper T cells, and decreased the percentage of CD8 positive cells, which is the common marker of killer T cells and suppressor T cells, in the white blood cell differentiation antigen (CD8/CD4) assay.
        "Furthermore, the therapy increased the levels of α atrial natriuretic polypeptide (αANP), β endorphin, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), insulin and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), and it decreased the vasopression level.
        "The results were on the whole larger in the radon group than in the thermal group. The findings suggest that radon therapy contributes more to the prevention of life-style-related diseases related to peroxidation reactions and immune suppression than to thermal therapy. Moreover, these indicate what may be a part of the mechanism for the alleviation of hypertension, osteoarthritis (pain), and diabetes mellitus brought about more by radon therapy than by thermal therapy."
