So a fun thing I learned.

In the pre-Hiroshima world of medical science, meaning in the world of people like Marie Curie and that understanding of radiation it wasn't a bad idea for most to visit spas to get to relax in "radon water" to alleviate joint pains and other ailments, and was quiet popular in Europe back in the day.

But then of course the US drops two nukes and the public perception of ye olde ionizing radiation changed and that sort of business died very soon after.

But recently it's been making a slow come-back with fans and providers claiming that it has health benefits at low doses for people suffering from pains brought about by arthritis. I read an article from Der Spiegel that discussed a study by German universities in this new trend and they seem to in part agree: pain is alleviated, blood pressure is lowered, and the aggressive immune system that causes joint pain is briefly calmed down to provide relief.

Their only caution is they don't know how much is  too much, but they did a double test on volunteer interviews with participants in radon-spa goers and exposed mice to low doses of radon.

What does this mean for PoW? Without nukes or nuclear power or nuclear fear at all then the practice might still be a thing. [i]Might[/i].
