Fascinating
Far Infrared Therapy Medical Facts and Data:
1) Far Infrared therapy increases blood circulation and oxygen
supply to damaged tissues (aiding reduction of chronic joint and muscle
pain or sport injuries), promotes relaxation and comfort, induces sleep
and relieves stress.
2) German medical researchers concluded one session of far infrared
therapy for over 1 hour can have significant reduction of blood pressure
thanks to a persistent peripheral vessels dilation. They also noted that
blood viscosity was improved. After 1 hour of far infrared radiance, there
is a significant decrease of blood pressure - cardiac ejection resistance
- total peripheral resistance - and significant increase of heart
rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, and ejection fraction.
3) Acne - Far Infrared Lasers verse Far Infrared HotHouse
or Far Infrared Lamp:
"Far Infrared lasers such as Smoothbeam or CoolTouch, are becoming
a very popular method to treat acne, particularly in very resistant cases.
They seem to work by shrinking the sebaceous glands, and you get relatively
quick results. They hurt like hell though." - Jeffey Dover, MD, Boston,
ELLE Magazine March 2004
HTE's Far infrared HotHouse 'sauna' or a far infrared lamp treatment
appears to open pores that have been malfunctioning for years, forcing
out clogging cosmetics, and loosening dry outer skin, healing acne and
scars, WITHOUT PAIN.
4) Sunburn - According to the Clayton's Electrotherapy,
9th Edition, far infrared radiation is the only antidote to excessive
ultraviolet radiation.
5) Far Infrared Thermal Therapy and Electromagnetic Fields
(EMF):
Recently there have been reports detailing the hazards of exposure
to certain kinds of electromagnetic fields, such as those from high-tension
power lines, cell phones, or from computer display terminals. Far Infrared
heating systems have been tested in Japan and found free of toxic electromagnetic
fields. The Swedish National Institute of Radiation Protection has also
concluded that infrared heaters are not dangerous. Instead, Japanese researchers
have reported that far infrared radiant heat antidotes the negative
effects of toxic electromagnetic sources.
6) Chi energy
also known as Qi - the life force energy present within every living thing:
The Qi that a Qigong master releases is called external Qi whereas
the Qi that circulates within the body is called internal Qi. When a person
is sick, the flow of Qi internally can be interrupted and various organs
might malfunction. If proper information can be delivered inside the body
via other media, or if new information can be generated within the body
through exercise by patients themselves (the Chi Machine), the organs that
are out of order will resume their proper function and the patients are
thus cured. This is how acupuncture, electric treatment, magnetic therapy,
and far infrared ray (the FIR HotHouse), cure various illnesses and keep
the body fit. - 'The Scientific Basis and Therapeutic
Benefits of Far Infrared Ray Therapy', Dr. Kyuo.
7) The McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology
reports medical practitioners make use of infrared radiant heat to treat
sprains, strains, bursitis, peripheral vascular diseases, arthritis, and
muscle pain.
8) Therapeutic Effects of Far Infrared
Heat - Chapter 9 of Therapeutic Heat and Cold, Fourth Edition,
Editors Justus F. Lehmann, M.D., Williams, and Wilkin. Infrared Heat
Therapy does the following:
Decreases joint stiffness.
Relieves muscle spasms.
Increases blood flow.
Leads to pain relief.
Affects soft tissue injury.
Increases the extensibility of collagen tissue.
Assists in resolution of inflammatory infiltrated, edema, and exudes.
9) Potential Use Of Far Infrared In Dental Clinics:
Mr. Shu of Ninomiya Yuri Dental Clinic used far infrared ray in his
dental clinic for some years. "I have successfully treated many common
dental diseases, for instance, pyorrhea alveolaris, gum inflammation, tooth
pain, and muscular spasm." Mr. Shu indicated that the use of far infrared
ray is undergoing research. Dr. Akira, Director of the Meitoku Association
of Dentists and Dr. Waaataru of the Kawano Dental Hospital also use far
infrared treatment on a regular basis for gum inflammation and post dental
pain suppression. - 'The Scientific Basis and
Therapeutic Benefits of Far Infrared Ray Therapy', Dr. Kyuo.
10) Artificial Body Parts:
"The HotHouse feels wonderful on an artificial hip .. it is so comforting.
When pins or metal have been inserted, it does not harm, as it doesn't
get over 98 degrees. Keeping it at that constant temperature doesn't make
the body go up and doesn't make it go down. If a person is recovering from
a break and has metal pins in the body, the Far Infrared HotHouse is very
soothing to them." - D. Sudweeks, Pleasant Grove, Utah, January 27th,
1999.
11) FIR and Healthy Arteries:
When the normally smooth, firm lining of the
arteries becomes thickened and roughened by deposits of fat, fibrin, calcium
and cellular debris, it lessens the arteries ability to expand and contract,
and slows the blood movement through narrowed channels. These conditions
make it easier for blood clots to form, blocking the arteries and stopping
blood flow completely. FIR is able to neutralize blood toxicity and smooth
the walls of arteries, capillaries and veins.

12) Pneumonia:
C. Dunson, a Lymphologist in Utah reported that within 15 minutes of
a client being treated with the HotHouse and lymphology therapy, their
pneumonia was cleared. Infrared therapy in both Japan and China has proven
to be outstanding for asthma, bronchitis, colds, flu, sinusitis and congestion
as it clears inflammation, swelling and mucous clogged passages, as testified
to in Dr. Kyuo's book below.
13) Dr. Sasaki Kyuo, M.D. has done extensive research
on the therapeutic uses of far infrared therapy. She is the author of "The
Scientific
Basis and Therapeutic Benefits of Far Infrared Ray Therapy' -
which presents the clinical effects of far infrared ray therapy (Email
us below for availability).
Besides cancer,
Dr. Kyuo reports continual successful treatments of many other diseases
by use of FIR waves - treatments not only by her but also by many other
doctors. The list of diseases - documented in her book - includes stress
induced chronic diarrhea, abdominal distention, ulcerated large intestines,
gastritis, facial numbness, hemorrhoids, shoulder, back, and knee pain,
rheumatism, hypertension, diabetes, weight loss, breast and abdominal tumors,
low blood pressure, asthma, anemia, burns and scalds, body odor, early
onset of baldness, fracture of cervical vertebra, radiation exposure and
related diseases.
Far Infrared Therapy:
* Improves micro circulation by exerting strong rotational and vibrational
effects at molecular level.
* Enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients in the blood cell to
the body's soft tissue areas.
* Promotes regeneration and fast healing.
* Increases metabolism between blood and tissue.
* Enhances white blood cell function, thereby increasing immune response
and the elimination of foreign pathogens and cellular waste products.
* Removes accumulated toxins by improving lymph circulation which are
often at the core of many health problems.
* Stimulate the hypothalamus, which controls the production of neurochemicals
involved in such biological processes as sleep, mood, pain sensations,
and blood pressure.

Infrared Hothouse and Nitric Oxide - PDF format.
15) A clinical
trial in Japan reported a successful solution for seven out of seven cases
of rheumatoid arthritis treated with whole-body far infrared therapy.
16) There have been numerous studies on the therapeutic effects
of FIR products. One clinical study done by Dr. Gordon Ko and Dr. David
Berbrayer at Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Science Centers at the
University of Toronto, published in the August 2002 issue of Alternative
Medicine Review "Journal of Clinical Therapeutics", showed that there are
significant improvements in both subjective measures of pain and discomfort
associated with Raynaud's Syndrome.
17) In Japan, Hideyoshi Toyokawa and others researched the effects
of FIR on wound healing. The results showed
that
FIR can improve wound healing significantly. The results can
be read at Experimental Biology and Medicine online journal: - www.ebmonline.org
18) Far Infrared Healing With Photons.
"From first hand experience, I can tell you (FIR) is a miraculous tool
that on the surface seems contradictory. It can help alleviate the sensation
of numbness, but it can also bring back a sense of feeling in areas that
have gone numb. It can remove overgrown scar tissue and it can stimulate
tissue growth. It can remove excess pigment, but it also restores pigment
in areas where needed. It can activate healing components within the immune
system, but also decrease the body's sometimes harmful inflammation response."
19) "One of the fastest growing complaints in this country today,carpal
tunnel syndrome (CTS) responds to (FIR) as well. CTS is caused by motion
and trauma to the median nerve passing through the wrist. Assembly line
workers are particularly prone to the problem. The standard medical treatment
for CTS is still surgery, which has a dismal success rate of less than
10%. Dr. Wayne Good, the plant physician at General Motors Flint Assembly,
has treated close to 600 patients (with FIR) and achieved positive results
in over 70% of patients. He is in the process of submitting his results
for publication as further studies continue."
20) "Photobiotherapy (FIR) will become one of the premier healing
tools of our future. It will eliminate the need for many of today's common
surgical procedures. I can see the day when every household in the country
will have a (FIR) unit on hand. When used properly, it is a safe, effective,
natural tool that can enhance, rather than oppose, the body's own innate
healing powers." - G.E. Poesnecker, N.D., D.C.
21) How fast are you aging?
a) Common problems associated with lifestyle
and aging, such as hypertension and osteoporosis, headaches and digestive
problems, are attributed by some scientists to be the result of excess
acidity in our system. The American Medical Journal found that in patients
with bone loss, alkalizing their system caused a decrease in bone loss.
Their conclusion was that our typical American diet is acid producing.
The acids deposited in our blood are often stored by the body in forms
of cholesterol, fatty acid, uric acid, and other villains that cause havoc
in our system. Sang Whang, the author of "Reverse Aging" claims that these
excess acids can be eliminated with the use of far infrared products, along
with consuming certain alkaline minerals and foods. The far infrared resonance
heats up the internal temperature of the body, increasing circulation,
thus enabling the blood to melt out the acidic toxins that have
been deposited for years in one's arteries. - www.takionic.com

by Dr. Fouad I. Ghaly, M.D. Studies suggest that far infrared light stimulates
the production of cell tissue and rapidly promotes
the regeneration of skin and blood tissue.
Far Infrared Detoxification
Toxic accumulation is a root cause behind
most physical challenges,
including the aging process and diseases such
as cancer.
Far Infrared is thought to be 7 times more effective at detoxifying
heavy metals such as mercury, aluminum,
and even cholesterol's, nicotine, alcohol, ammonia, sulfuric acid and other
environmental toxins, as opposed to conventional heat or steam saunas.
The human body is a reservoir of all kinds of bio-toxins which cannot
be expelled immediately and become stored in the body, thereby triggering
illness. When toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide, or
potentially fatal heavy metal toxins such as mercury, lead and chlorine,
meet large water molecules, they are encapsulated by clusters of water
and trapped in the body. Where these toxins are accumulated, blood circulation
is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. However, when a 7 to 11 micron
FIR wave is applied to these large water molecules, the water begins to
vibrate. This vibration reduces the ion bonds of the atoms which are holding
together the molecules of water. As the water evaporates, the encapsulated
gas and toxins can be released.
Toxic
Cleansing With Far Infrared (FIR) Waves:
"One of the reasons FIR has beneficial results in a variety of illnesses
is the ability of FIR waves to remove toxins, which are often at the core
of many health problems. Toxins that cannot be removed immediately after
they enter the body are encapsulated by clusters of water. Blood circulation
becomes blocked and the cellular energy impaired where these toxins accumulate.
However, when a 10-micron FIR wave is applied to water molecules containing
toxins, the water begins to vibrate. This vibration reduces the ion bonds
of the atoms that are holding together the molecules of water. As the breakdown
of the water molecules occurs, encapsulated gases and other toxic materials
are released. One study done by American researchers showed that the sweat
released by users of a FIR sauna was different that the sweat of
people using a conventional sauna or doing normal exercise. The non water
portion of sweat released in a FIR sauna was cholesterol, fat soluble toxins,
toxic heavy metals, sulfuric acid, sodium, ammonia and uric acid." -
Dr. Kyuo, Japan.
Toxic
overload has been implicated in many health conditions, from
fibrocystic breast disease (FBD) in women to attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD) in children. Symptoms of toxic overload include
fatigue, headaches, joint or muscle pain, frequent colds and flu, signs
of allergy and hormonal imbalance, chemical sensitivity, sinus congestion,
psoriasis and other skin conditions, loss of dexterity, insomnia and more.
Psychological symptoms include poor concentration, memory loss, mood changes,
mental confusion and changes in behavior. - www.balancedlives.net
