You guys are metaphorically chewing on Cesium (which may have some merits),
being so alkalising an alkaline ion... ...maybe like Bromine to reduce the
sex drive of British soldiers during WW2 (something I'm SURE could have
been disproven by simple observation).

But I came across an eight page article in National Geographic on Radon
Therapy, and people going deep into mines, bathing in "Radon water" and
even drinking the stuff. The spin was decidedly positive, although a sceptical
tone hovered over the top. Not very responsible if you ask me.

Anyone out there less ignorant than I have some facts to go on?

Cate.

Cesium and bromine are not nutrients.
If you can ask question or say something intelligent
the bionet.toxicology forum moderator will likely
let you post.

Wasn't potassium bromate remove as an acceptable
food additive? It was used in bread making.
I'd avoid brominated vegetable oil, also.

As to cesium, it likely behaves somewhat like
potassium which doesn't make it safe.
Though it doesn't seem very dangerous,
either, I am basing my comments on when
I looked at the toxicology textbook
earlier.

Extra radon isn't likely a great idea.
However, do a combined web search
on the words hormesis and radiation.
The results maybe interesting.
