Description

Free Enterprise Health Mine is a former uranium mine which is used for medical purposes. As the therapy offered in this mine is not accepted as a medical treatment in America, the owners do not talk about a medical treatment but call it "an alternative to present treatment for pain relief and disease symptom management".
