Far
Infrared Thermal Therapy Medical Facts and
Global Data:
Information presented herein may not
to be randomly used or implied towards any far
infrared unit, fabric or other far infrared
product available to the public, for reasons
explained above.
1) Properties:
Far Infrared heat therapy general properties include
the promotion of circulation, reduction and relief
of pain, swelling and inflammation, elimination of
serious toxins such as heavy metals, relaxation and
comfort.
2) Blood
Pressure: German medical researchers concluded
one session of far infrared thermal 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) Cosmetic Use:
Far Infrared lasers for cosmetics:
"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
Far Infrared heat
properties have been reported to help in opening and
unclogging pores, and to aid in healing acne and
scars thru tissue regeneration.
4)
Sunburn: According to the "Clayton's
Electrotherapy, 9th Edition", Far Infrared
radiation is the only antidote to excessive
ultraviolet radiation.
5) FIR
and Electromagnetic Fields (EMF):
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
units have been tested in Japan and found free of
toxic electromagnetic fields. The Swedish
National Institute of Radiation Protection has
also concluded that Far Infrared heaters are not
dangerous.
Instead, Japanese
researchers have reported that Far Infrared radiant
heat antidotes the negative effects of toxic
electromagnetic sources.
Qigong.
6) CHI
energy (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 organs that are out of
order will resume their proper function and the
patients may heal.
This is how
acupuncture, electric treatment, magnetic therapy,
and far infrared ray neutralize various physical
conditions and keep the body fit."

7) The "McGraw-Hill
Encyclopedia of Science and Technology,"
reports medical practitioners make use of Far
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 - reports Far 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) Use Of Far Infrared In Dental
Clinics:
a) "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."

b)
Far Infrared Effect on Dentistry and the Immune
System:
“I have used the FIR dome with over fifty high
risk surgical cases without complication or dry
sockets on 92% of the patients. The dome is placed
over the patient in my office a half hour before
surgery and then a half hour after surgery to
promote an immune response.
The patient then takes the dome home and applies
the technology at home for two hours a day for the
next three days. They get what we call complete
healing.
The macrophages produce collagen necessary to
stimulate the fibroblasts, and the tissue of the
fibroblasts then will stimulate the osteoblast,
which is bone. That is where the bone forms - and
it starts in the first three days - but it takes
about six months for complete healing.
The two main cells we need in dentistry and in
surgery around the bone area are the macrophages
and the neutrophils.” (which are activated by far
infrared heat).
The macrophage is called the “pac man” of the
immune system. The macrophage is a cell that
engulfs and digests microorganisms. Everything
starts with the macrophage - “macro” meaning big
and “phage” meaning eater. So we have a big eater
here.
The tentacle on the macrophage grabs the
staphylococci and a bacillus rod, and that
macrophage extends a pseudo paw to get the
bacteria that is now invading our blood.
I elected to use the Far
Infrared Dome for these reasons:
- Safety. The FIR dome produces a
wave length that is identical to the body’s own
wave length by body heat, and that is at the
8-to-10-micron level, so it is safe.
- Penetration. FIR penetrates 1-1/2" so this is an
advantage to the dental surgeon who deals with
bone as well as soft tissue.
- Area covered. The unique ceramic construction of
the FIR dome covers a large area of the body, with
a large coverage in a short period of time. Since
there is a 160-degree angle, the penetration and
the intensity of the dome produces a strong
effect.
- One hour’s use of the FIR dome for five days
would produce a large body production of nitric
oxide gas. It will also increase circulation,
reduce pain and swelling and promote faster
healing. That has been my observation with about
50 patients now."

Dental Journal.
10) 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. Far Infrared heat
is reported to be able to neutralize blood
toxicity and smooth the walls of arteries,
capillaries and veins. - Citation needed.
11)
Respiration: Far Infrared heat therapy in both
Japan and China has proven to be effective for
respiratory challenges - asthma, bronchitis, colds,
flu, sinusitis and congestion - as it clears
inflammation, swelling and mucous clogged passages,
as researched and reported by Yamazaki Toshio in
Japan.
Written exclusively for
HTE Australia.
Yamazaki
Toshio has done extensive research on the
therapeutic uses of far infrared therapy and is
the author of "The Scientific Basis and
Therapeutic Benefits of Far Infrared Ray
Therapy"
which
examines and documents far infrared ray thermal
therapy in great depth.
Toshio reports
continual successful treatments of many illnesses
and diseases by use of FIR waves - treatments not
only by her but also by many other doctors.
The list of diseases
(as documented in the 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.
Japanese
Scientific Data:
Extract from "The Scientific
Basis and Therapeutic Benefits of Far Infrared
Ray Therapy" - Written exclusively
for HTE Australia and use of the FIR Hothouse
Dome, invented in Japan:
- 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.
12) There
have been numerous studies on the therapeutic
effects of FIR therapy.
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" -
discusses significant improvements in both
subjective measures of pain and discomfort
associated with Raynaud's
Syndrome.
13) Wound
Healing: In Japan, Hideyoshi Toyokawa and
others researched the effects of FIR on wound healing. The results
showed that Far Infrared heat can improve wound
healing significantly. The results can be read at "Experimental
Biology and Medicin" online journal - www.ebmonline.org
14) Carpal
Tunnel Syndrome (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 invasive procedures, which have a
success rate of less than 10%.
Dr. Wayne Good,
plant physician at General Motors Flint Assembly,
has previously treated close to 600 patients with
FIR and achieved positive results in over 70% of
patients.
15) The future is
now: "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.
16) Ageing:
a) Common problems associated
with lifestyle and aging, such as bone weakness
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.

b) "Reversing The Aging Process'
- an Enlightened Doctor's Discovery". ©1999
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 Thermal Heat
Detoxification.
Elimination of
Toxicity: Toxic accumulation is a root
cause behind most physical challenges, including
the aging process, illness and disease.
One of the reasons
FIR has beneficial results in a variety of illnesses
is the ability of far infrared waves to remove toxins,
which are often at the core of many health problems.
Far Infrared heat is
thought to be 7 times more effective at eliminating
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 traditional 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 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
an approximate 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
breakdown of the water molecule occurs, the
encapsulated gases and toxins are released.
Toxic Cleansing With Far Infrared Waves: "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." - Yamazaki Toshio, 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, congestion, 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
