We all have that, your decay paragraph, going on in our body everyday from Natural background radiation.



UGH, well...er...NOT REALLY, but anyone can SAY this if they want; proving it is quite another thing entirely.

MOST people do not inhale very much radon, but there are probably basements of houses in Omaha that have much higher levels of radon than that mine in Montana.

In fact, "NORMAL background radiation" is so dramatically dissimilar to breathing in radon-rich air that any such comparison is just plain weird and even specious. If it were the same, just visiting Denver would have the same therapeutic effects as the mine.

Whether dosages, unique genetics, or lifestyle factors (such as smoking, eating Beluga caviar, sunbathing, etc) have more or less to do with who develops negative side effects to radon exposure and when, there probably is some cumulative lifetime exposure quotient that has yet-to-be-determined. Hail to the pioneers!
