Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease that occurs
commonly in old people. Hot spring radon therapy is widely practiced in Central
Europe and Japan for relief from the painful symptoms. The usual duration of a
spa treatment is a week or two, and the relief is temporary. This article reports
on the near-complete recovery of a patient who had been suffering from RA for 10
years. The patient received 15 months of low-dose radon and ?-radiation therapy
in a room that reproduced the conditions of a radon spa. The daily 40-minute
exposure in the therapy room was supplemented by ten 6-minute radio-nebulizer
treatments. The inflammation markers C-reactive protein and matrix
metalloproteinase 3 declined strongly to the normal level of 0.07 mg/dL and the
near-normal level of 48.9 ng/mL, respectively. After the patient's return to good
health, the frequency of the visits was reduced to twice each month. The
patient's protection systems appear to have adapted to stimulated conditions,
sufficiently to sustain the recovery from RA. Such a long-term course of
treatments and follow-up maintenance could be carried out in any hospital that
has these low-dose radiation therapy rooms. The therapy could be scheduled to
suit patient availability.
