radon mines | Arthritis Information

 

i know this might sound hinky...BUT...right after i found out it was RA a lady at the  bar i work at was in town with her sister and stood up abruptly, ran  outside to her car and returned with a brochure for me about a radon mine in boulder montana called the sunshine health mine.  this mine is supposed the miracle healer for all types of degenerative conditions.  she said she has severe arthritis, OA i'd imagine and chronic pain from two serious car crashes, and she visits once a year and swears by it.  says she needs no pain meds, no more walkers or canes or anything, and that during her last trip a lady in a wheelchair was able to walk unassisted by the third day.

now, i was so skeptical.  however her enthusiasm and belief made it impossible not to smile!  its also free...well except for the getting to montana thing:)  anyways, here is the link to the site if anyone is interested

anyone ever heard of this type of miracle healing?  any science behind it?  placebo effect? 

Anything is worth a try with this disease.

Usually its uranuim mines they throw at us

Once, way back in circa 1994, at a low spot on the RA journey a friend convinced me to try this (if someone would have suggested I stand on my head in the corner for three months and it would make me better I would have considered it...EVEN with all the controversy re: radon in homes and the frenzy of radon testing.

The trip to get there was horrendous: I will not bore you with the details. The accommodations were rustic...there were about a dozen people "visiting", but (at least in those days) no dining facility and other facilities (baths) were communal. The cabin was a Ralph Lauren explosion, and impossible to keep warm. The mine itself was neatly maintained, but for at least a few of us difficult to manoeuvre through. The seating arrangements were metal folding chairs, a few web-type folding chairs and a couple of army-style cots.

Although the air was not damp it was cold and within a short time the cold of the surrounding stone began to seep into every joint. I lasted about twenty minutes and had to be helped out. This was the end of July-- the warm season.

It did not help me, in fact it was detrimental, however as has been said before: we each react differently. The next RA "vacation", which in the final account cost about the same as the mine trip, was at a spa: well-decorated accommodations, superbly prepared meals, pampering, and WARM.

FWIW, Happ
