Healthy climate for pain and stiffening

Look into the sky, take a book from the upper row of rules, look the other in the eyes - for healthy people of course. But for many who suffer from ankylosing spondylitis, these everyday things are very difficult over time. For most, the rheumatic-inflammatory disease begins as a young adult with severe pain in the back of the head, spreading across the entire back. Aggravating often come to chronic fatigue and stiffening of the spine. A well-regulated life is no longer possible for some, given the pain, weakness, and severe side effects of prescribed medications. In contrast, radon heat therapy as a natural alternative to traditional medical medication shows good results, especially in the case of the disease Bechterew's disease. Scientific studies confirm the treatment method even success rates between 80 and 90 percent.

Thereafter, radon therapy shows long-lasting therapeutic effects in all forms and stages. „Patients report a significant reduction of pressure pain, pain intensity, functional limitations and drug consumption“, white PD Bertram Hölzl, radon expert and medical director of the Gasteiner Heilstollen. „And that for many months.“ In addition, radon heat therapy demonstrably promotes bone-building processes. Their successes are based on a combination of three factors: slight overheating, high humidity and absorption of radon through the skin and lungs. At temperatures over 37.5 degrees and high humidity over 70 percent, there is an increase in body core temperature. Many years of experience show that only this mild hyperthermia leads to a relaxation of pain-plagued muscles and has an immune-stabilizing effect. In addition, increases in the slightly overheated state, the absorption capacity of the organism for the natural remedy radon. Radon in turn releases mild alpha rays, which stimulate the body's own cell repair mechanisms and significantly reduce the activity of inflammatory cells and painkillers.

„In addition, many patients with Bechterew's disease, who regularly undergo radon therapy, may almost completely refrain from taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs“, reports Hölzl. What this means is the serious side effects of these drugs clearly: 70 percent of those affected suffer from severe gastric mucosal lesions and their consequences. 10 to 20 percent of serious complications can not even be controlled therapeutically and are fatal. Because radon heat therapy is a gentle alternative, health insurance companies often pay about 90 percent of the therapy costs. (Pm)
