There is even clear assertion on the net that this as it stands is also
not correct - that those houses with radon accumulating in the cellar
are ventilation deficient, and that the effects are not in fact as
stated in any case. But I don't have the link to the site I visited
about home radon (and the industry built up around it), though someone
else here might. I had a bit of a search, and here are some other links:

However, the relationships between radon and lung cancer and between
radon and other types of cancer are, in many studies, contrary to that
is expected. Thus, the study by Nambi and Soman, 1987, showed an inverse
correlation between irradiation and the rate for lung cancer in an area
with high background radiation in India. Similarly, the studies of
Frigerio and Stowe, 1976, Zahi et al., and Cohen, 1987, reported
increased resistance to infection, an increase in longevity, and a lower
death rate for cancer in populations exposed to high natural background.
Both Cohen, 1994, and Pollycove, 1994, have reviewed the effects in
these regions and those due to indoor radon, and these authors question
the established paradigm [Luckey, 1980; Sagan, 1994].

/*A revolutionary field called hormesis shows that dangerous substances
can be beneficial at low levels
*/http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2010/06/04/lauding-low-doses/ If
you haven’t heard of hormesis, you aren’t alone. Hormesis, a subject
I’ve been tracking over the last year, is almost never mentioned in the
mainstream media. Nor are laymen alone in their ignorance of this field.
Many medical practitioners and environmental professionals, working in
their own professional silos, remain unaware of hormesis, despite an
exponential growth in the number of peer-reviewed papers that refer to
hormesis in recent years and despite the acceptability of books like
Hormesis to prestigious academic publishers.

She explained that when radon is breathed in, it remains in the body for
about three hours. During this time, the low stimulating dose of radon,
through the regeneration of enzymes and other vital substances,
activates cell renewal. Chromosome damage is reduced, the body's immune
system is stabilized and its natural repair system is enhanced.
Combined with the heat, which increases circulation, it's reported that
treatment is beneficial for: musculoskeletal diseases such as ankylosing
spondylitis, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and sports
injuries; respiratory illnesses like chronic bronchitis, asthma, and
chronic sinusitis; skin conditions such as psoriasis, neurodermatitis,
scleroderma and wounds that won't heal.
