Hello all, I am here in Montana for my fourth visit to the radon mine. I have experienced healing reactions and relief each time I have come here. Each time my healing reactions were typical tired and bit yukky feeling and/or spine and hips hurting in various changing places.

This visit is no different until now 5 days in my index finger is hurting. This is the same spot that started my arthritis symptoms 5 years ago and have not been felt since.

So my question to my fellow radon users have you ever had a radon reaction that went back to a pain you had not felt in years? I think I have heard of deeper levels of healing going back to joints that have been dormant longer, but I am uncertain.

Thanks Brian

Hey Brian,

It was great crossing paths at the Free Enterprise. I had to count my graffiti scratches on the wall of the mine this time since I've lost track. It was my 10th visit! I've sent you a PM regarding your question. Hormesis and DNA repair - pretty amazing stuff.

I know very little about radon mine visits, but what is done during these treatments to prevent the cancer risk from being present?

It's low dose, low duration, so theoretically low risk.

And what benefits does those who have tried it feel? After how many visits? And are these benefits permanent or temporary? I have read a little research which supports relief of arthritis, but does anyone have experiences to share?

I have never done it myself, but according to all reports I've seen the relief is always temporary. Certain people who have found it especially helpful go back every year. Consider it as a potential treatment, not a cure, like other methods of dampening immune system response (as opposed to addressing the cause for the immune system to get upset).

Whoops...I don't get over this way often enough, but just checking in and saw this. Right you are - my visits keep me pain free w/o meds for about a year. I just plan an annual visit, so it works for me. It is not unusual to meet someone with AS at the mine. You can read about my own experience if you'd like (my blog is a direct link in my signature below) and be sure to check the research info in the sidebar. The Science is there.
