November 25, 2022 - Boulder, Montana, USA - A sitting room at the Sunshine Radon Mine, one of a handful of ''health mines'' in Montana which purport to cure diseases with the radon gas that leeches from the walls of these defunct uranium mines. Radon is a deadly gas when inhaled in sufficient quantities; however, some proponents of ''natural healing'' and the theory of radiation hormesis, including many in the Amish and Mennonite communities, believe, contrary to the preponderance of scientific evidence, that smaller doses of radon can cure disease. The mines are closed for the winter, but will re-open in the spring of 2023.(Credit Image: © Brian Cahn/ZUMA Press Wire)
