Radon as Medicine: The Potential of Using Radon as a Therapeutic Gas in Medicine
Session
Medicine and Nursing
Description
Radon is a radioactive gas that is formed by the spontaneous nuclear fission of uranium and thorium. It is traditionally known as a health hazard gas. However, recent research has revealed a new and unusual aspect of radon: its therapeutic potential. The purpose of this study is to examine the possibility of using radon as a therapeutic medical gas, analyzing the biophysical processes that may support its therapeutic use and potential health effects. From the analysis of numerous clinical and laboratory studies, the effectiveness and safety of radon-based treatments for various diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and some forms of cancer, are evaluated. Preliminary results suggest that radon may have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating ef- fects, however, its use requires a careful approach to avoid potential risks of radiation exposure. The recommendations are that the development of safety protocols for the use of radon in medical treatments should take these developments into account.
Keywords:
Radon, radon as a therapeutic gas, radon therapy, positive effects of radon.
