Rubbish

This article is full of complete garbage and should be deleted, or completely re-written. There is no reason to think that the springs can heal any of those conditions. Moreover, if they are actually radioactive, they could be very dangerous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.171.46.212 (talk) 05:49, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How bad is it??

This article uses Mache units of 65 ME to 557 ME as the radiation levels in the springs. Using the Wikipedia article 'Mache(unit)', 1ME = 13.4545 Bq/L, so the springs are 874 Bq/L to 7494 Bg/L. Then using the Wikipedia article 'Radon', looking in 'concentration units': "Typical domestic exposures are 100 Bq/m^3 indoors...", so those 874 and 7494 Bq/l go to 874000 to 7494000 Bq/m^3, which is between 8740 and 74940 times the 'typical domestic exposure indoors'. You might want to include that in the article, and that according to the Wikipedia 'Radon' article: "(radon) is the number one cause (of lung cancer) among non-smokers, according to EPA estimates". 71.139.165.48 (talk) 06:44, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
