Changes in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) of a patient with prostate cancer after radiation hormesis treatment. The patient was irradiated with X-rays once a week at a dose of 150 mGy, 30 times in total. The distance from body surface was 86 cm. Serum PSA was assayed periodically. The X-ray irradiation treatment periods are shown.

At 2 months after starting the treatment (October 2007), endoscopy showed slight bleeding of the colonic mucosal membrane, but bleeding and swelling had completely disappeared 8 months later (Figure 5A-C).
Changes in the number of bowel movements of the patient with ulcerative colitis after radiation hormesis treatment. The patient was treated in the hormesis room twice a week for 40 minutes, ingested about 200 mL of radon-containing water during every meal, and was exposed to a radon sheet at bedtime. The treatment times are shown.
