This is the first therapeutic radioactive water. "Standard Radium" is a very respected brand. In the market for radioactive products, they set the tone for a very long time. I mean, we created fashions, trends and launched our own certifications. Until it turns out their product kills. But that was later.
It all began in 1903, when the discoverer of the electron Joseph Thompson discovered the radioactivity of ordinary well water. Ah not greater, but all -??? real radioactivity. He was so surprised and started to explore all around and everywhere tests to take. That's literally everywhere I went and everywhere the samples were taken. Well, it is clear that most of all he liked to go to fashionable and expensive resorts and take samples there and there is nothing to be done about it and we can not condemn a person for it. Not deaf in the same country, if you, say, the electron was discovered... Well, he goes everywhere, takes samples of water and mud, everywhere-everywhere - at all the famous resorts and from all the healing springs around the world took samples. And it turned out, that almost all they emit in those or other quantities.
Can you imagine how unexpected? Well.
Of course, the healing properties of the waters immediately attributed to radiation, deciding that it is its emanations and make the water alive.
However, there was one problem that prevented the commercial use of the discovery: from bottled mineral water radiation quickly evaporated. "It does not matter," decided comrades scientists and cunning merchants, " we will saturate it artificially." And set to work.
Each bottle contained 2 micrograms of radium-226, which continuously decayed, saturating the water with" healing " radon. Doctors recommended drinking one after a meal. One bottle, of course - we're not children, spoons to drink...
That's how it all started. Production opened literally everywhere - but ahead of the rest, of course, was the American "Standard Radium" and several European products, which I will tell you later.
