Infrared Sauna and its health benefits

Some call it the ‘Light of Life’, others ‘Vital Rays’, NASA calls it ‘Bioenergetic Rays’; but, whatever nickname it is given far infrared has proven to be as important to human life as is oxygen, food, and water.
Far infrared is one range of the electromagnetic spectrum of waves emitted by the sun. Humans can not see this light, but know of its existence from the warmth they feel. To further explain how it is felt imagine yourself on a picnic during a hot summer day. It has become picnic protocol to set up the food under the shade of a tree. The air temperature does not change from the sun to the shade. So, why set up in the shade when the air temperature is the same in both locations? Because, the far infrared rays from the sun does raise the skin’s temperature when in direct contact.

How The Body Takes In Far Infrared                     

People not only absorb far infrared, but also emit it. The ancient art of ‘laying on of hands’ is actually the skill of releasing far infrared energy from the healer to the patient. The level of far infrared produced by each individual mirrors their general health. As they become ill their radiation of far infrared goes down, and vice versa as health is restored.
 The far infrared spectrum is between 5.6 to 1000 microns. The wavelengths most helpful to the human being is between 8 and 14 microns.

 An important element as to why the 8 to 14 range of far infrared is helpful has to do with the mechanics attributed to ‘Resonance Absorption’. The earth, water and human body all have a similar electromagnetic frequency at about 10 microns. This affinity allows for an easy assimilation of energy between like masses. So, much like how one tunes a radio station the few frequencies before and after the actual designated frequency will start to resonate the station’s signal, which causes some sound from the station, usually scratchy, to come through. In this same fashion it is with far infrared. The body will absorb microns close to the 10 microns area, but will only be in 100 percent harmony at the range it most often emits far infrared.
The human body will absorb only the amount of far infrared rays it can put to use at the time, so there is no danger of getting too much of a good thing.
How Far Infrared Effects The Body
Far infrared causes the water within the body to vibrate. The body is about 70% water, so this vibration has a profound effect on the tissues. This vibratory process allows for a deeper penetration of energy, which both heats the atoms and causes water molecules to break into smaller clusters. Both events stimulate the easy release of toxins. The extra heat generated causes the capillaries to expand which helps blood circulation, and increase the bodies metabolism. This activates the tissues to produce needed enzymes.
A Visual Demonstration Of How Far Infrared Vibrates
The animated graphic below is a demonstration using time-lapse photography of how far infrared vibrates water. What you are looking at in this demonstration is a clock, ceramic far infrared plate (black), normal plate (red) and an ice cube on each plate. Each photographic frame is taken about 15 seconds apart. There is no electricity, or external heat being applied to either plate. The minor motion between frames is due to the camera motion created when pressing the shutter. Both cubes of ice were placed on the their respective plates at roughly 12:00. The ice cube on the FIR plate immediately begins to swing from the center to the right and back. This motion continues until the ice has been melted. The total elapsed time it takes for the ice to breakdown is 5 minutes. At the moment the far infrared plate has turned the ice to water the ice on the red (normal) plate has only just begun to melt.

Now that you have seen the results of far infrared on ice it is easy to imagine how such an effect on the body’s cells could flush the toxins, and rev up the system. And, that is just a few of the influences far infrared has on the human body

At the University of Fukui in Japan there is a six story building devoted to the development of far infrared technologies. NASA was researching the health effects of far infrared long before this university decided to concentrate on the subject. But, today most of the major progress in far infrared is coming out of the orient.

Health Benefits Other Saunas Don’t Have
Unlike other saunas, the far infrared saunas’ heat penetrates at least 1 1/2 inches below the skin’s surface. This creates a deeper cleansing of the tissues. Far infrared heats the body directly. It does not use the air surrounding the person as a go between. The direct contact far infrared creates with the individual will result in a more intense sweat, while actually generating a lower temperature. This in turn allows more toxins to be eliminated than with other higher heated saunas.
How Far Infrared Saunas Detoxify
There is a plethora of chemicals the body can not metabolize so when ingested these toxins tend to be stored in fat cells. A Chronic Toxic Overload is created when hundreds of chemicals dwell in the body. This condition causes dozens of debilitating illnesses. Excessive toxins cause the mechanism which creates enzymes to malfunction, resulting in nutritional shortages, which in turn can lead to hormone and brain imbalances.
That is the bad news. The good news is that with far infrared’s deep heat, fat cells liquify. Couple this with the vibrational effect far infrared has on water clusters, and your water molecules begin to split into micro-molecules, making the toxins within them easier to eliminate. These duo processes work together to allow toxins and fat to be released to the eliminative systems of the body.
Far Infrared’s Benefits On The Blood
A 30 minute far infrared sauna is as advantageous to the cardiovascular system as is a 6 mile run. In fact, NASA has used far infrared for cardiac conditioning. With far infrared heat the blood vessels become dilated which helps lower blood pressure, increases blood circulation, boosts cellular metabolism, smoothes the walls of the blood carrying system and increases the production of both white blood cells and endorphins. The blood and its systems gain vigor which results in a strengthened immune system, quicker injury healing, normalized cholesterol, recovered energy and improved oxygen levels.
Other Benefits
Where to begin? Well, it is kind of a no-brainer to deduct that if far infrared liquifies fat and expedites its elimination weight loss would be a benefit. And, it is. At least 300 calories are burned for every 30 minute sauna taken. Far infrared stimulates the hypothalamus which controls neurochemicals. The benefits of this include a better sleep, improved moods, pain control, a lower body acidic level through the reduction of stress and toxins.
The heat from far infrared prevents the growth of bacteria and molds. Along with this effect, caused by the heat, the body will also activate its immune system anytime its core temperature rises above the norm. This stimulation of the immune system helps the body to more quickly rid itself of other illnesses.
Conditions Far Infrared Is Known To Help
• Fibromyalgia• Headaches• Digestive Problems• Chronic Fatigue• Eczema and Psoriasis• Weight• Arthritis• Acne• Soft-tissue Injury• Menstrual Pain• Hypertension• Asthma• Colds and Flu• Depression• Tremors• Joint Pain• Allergies• Insomnia• Candidiasis• Burns
How To Properly Take A Far Infrared Sauna
• Drink at least a quart of water for each 30 minute sauna,
• Do not overstay your comfort zone’s welcome, get out if nausea, headache, dizziness, or any other discomfort should come upon you,
• Replace minerals and vitamins released through sweating.
People Should Check With There Doctor Before Using Saunas If…
• They have Lupus
• They have Multiple Sclerosis
• They have a joint injury less than 48 hours old
• They are, or think they may be pregnant
• They suffer from Hemophilia
• They have a metal pin, an artificial joint, or other kind of implant.

 The room sized saunas vary in dimensions to accommodate between 1 to 5 people.

Far infrared ray is the healthy ray of the Sun

Have you ever wondered why a person can’t get cancer of the heart? Every other organ can acquire the disease. So what is the magic of the heart’s invincibility? The reason is because the heart is first in line to receive the pH balanced, oxygen-rich blood that flows out of the lungs. In other words, it gets the cream of this life giving crop, which keeps its cells free from mutating.
Nobel Prize is Given for the Reason Cancer Occurs
It is dumbfounding how the medical profession keeps searching for the answer as to how cancer develops while ignoring the discovery made over 75 years ago by Dr. Otto Heinrich Warburg. In 1931 Dr. Warburg was given the Nobel prize in medicine for discovering cells starved of oxygen will lose the ability to burn the glucose it receives. These cells will either die, or learn to produce energy by fermenting the glucose. Fermentation only creates 1/6 the energy a cell using the oxidization process makes. Once a cell has converted to fermentation as its power source the cell can never go back to being an oxidizing cell.
Fermenting cells are starving cells. They can not get enough glucose to stay energized. This leads to the replication of more fermenting cells in an effort to gain the energy the body requires. In a sense it is these mutated cells mission to replace normal oxygen burning cells with their own kind. They’re like the vampire of the cellular world. Dr. Warburg discovered a 60% drop in oxygen is the bite on the neck for a normal cell. At that point it must transform to survive. Throughout this transformation process the cell has two options. It can either just die outright, or adapt into the malignant cell known as cancer. In a sense the cancer cell is actually the bodies attempt of trying to save itself. It’s a bit like jumping out of an airplane with either no parachute, or an umbrella. Either way you’re dead, but at least with the umbrella one may prolong the inevitable.
These fermentation cells make up masses within the body called tumors. They are weak, unable to produce the enzymes needed for a healthy cell structure. The fermentation process of the cell creates lactic acid as a by-product. Collecting in the bodies tissues lactic acid can bring on a condition call Lactic acidosis which means the blood becomes too acidic and can lead to organ damage. The best way to remove lactic acid is to receive a deep muscle massage with ozonated olive oil.
pH Levels Indicate the Cell’s Health
Cancer cells can not grow when the bodies pH level is alkaline. So the fact that fermentation cells create lactic acid which will in turn raise the acid pH level, which will in turn further lower the oxygen levels, which creates more fermentation cells, which creates more lactic acid, which makes the acid pH level higher, which lowers oxygen still more… Oh no this process is like stepping between two mirrors and seeing your reflection an infinite number of times between the mirrors. It becomes easy to see how these two elements, pH level and oxygen, feed each other.
Actually Medical Research Does Have Some Clues
Recently Dr. Ralph Mason, a professor of Radiology at Southwestern Medical Center, gave a speech on cancer. Within the speech he recognized the facts that a cancer tumor both lacks oxygen and consumes every bit of extra glucose within the body, which it converts to lactic acid. Interestingly they are having cancer patients breath oxygen before receiving chemotherapy. One-third of the patients show a 20% reduction in the tumor. These same patients respond favorably to the chemotherapy, whereas the patients whose tumor is so compacted the regular breathing of medical grade oxygen can not penetrate the growth, showed no reduction in the tumor and respond poorly to chemotherapy.
This method of treatment explained by Dr. Mason is currently one of the newest in the United States. Contrast this with how oxygen and ozone therapy is being used in Europe. Because cancer cells that have been exposed to oxygen die, several techniques are being used to deliver ozone to the tumors. The blood is saturated with ozone through IV injections; the liver, bowels and other areas of the body are receiving ozone through rectal insufflation. People with lung cancer are breathing ozone through an oil bubbler. And people with every kind of cancer are using steam saunas for the delivery of ozone absorbed through the skin into the blood stream.
When ozone contacts a weakened cell which has lost its protective enzyme membrane, like a cancer cell, it oxidizes the cell. This destruction of the cell causes the tumor to shrink. Over many months of continual ozone therapy every cell becomes surrounded by the singlet oxygen molecules ozone delivers. As the cancer and other weak cells are burned up the normal cells again receive the oxygen required for good health.
While America continues to protect its drug and surgery industries, at the expense of the ill, other parts of the world, less embedded with the money behind these industries, are proving the validity of ozone for the treatment of cancer and other medical conditions.
NOTE: Ozone therapy is not FDA approved. The following information is for educational purposes only. Consult your licensed doctor for cancer treatment.
During the 1930s the Italian government drained Rome’s Pontine swamps. For centuries these swamps had been notorious breeding grounds for mosquitoes, which caused malaria among the population. As predicted by the government the destruction of the insects resulted in the disappearance of the disease. But what was unforeseen was that with the elimination of malaria came an increase in the cancer rate. Before the swamp was dried out the local people had never suffered from cancer. Eventually medical researchers realized the attack of the high fevers malaria brings was both destroying the cancer cells, and stimulating the body’s immune system to keep cancer from developing into tumors.
Move Ahead 60 Years
In the 1990s medical clinics in Japan started changing their protocols for the treatment of cancer. Having for years followed the traditional practices of radiation, chemotherapy and surgery they realized the detrimental effects of these therapies on their patients was counter-productive to the healing process. Armed with the knowledge heat destroys structurally weak cells, to which cancer cells are but one form, these clinics began, with success, using far infrared to treat cancer.
The process of removing cancerous cells through ‘Overheating Therapy’ is one of kickstarting the body’s inflammation response. In part this speeds up the body’s metabolism, resulting in the immune system’s production of more macrophage, which loves to consume anything which does not belong in the body.
Along with improving the immune system, high heat specifically attacks cancer cells through its own fermentation process. Because a cancer cell is inferior to a normal cell its ability to eliminate the lactic acid produced is shutdown if the cell suffers a temperature between 104 and 107°F. At that point lactic acid becomes trapped within the cell which creates an extreme acidic pH level. In time the cell can not survive its own acid and dies. Far infrared can be used locally to create such a temperature within the body. It is dangerous to get your body core temperature above 104°F.
Different Ways To Heat The Body
In Japan far infrared is used to heat the body into the inflammation response, but hot water has also been used. High heat therapy is literally not for the faint-of-heart. There are several guidelines a person should follow.
The first, and most important, is to not do it alone. At the very least have a person monitoring the progress, at the very best have a trained medical professional do the monitoring.

·         * Do not eat for a couple of hours before the treatment.

• * Empty the bowel and bladder before each treatment.
• * Start out slow, allow the body to acclimate to the high temperatures.
• * If possible, endure the treatment for an hour at a time.
• * Do not let the pulse rise above 135.
• * If the treated person has a heart problem do not do the therapy without medical approval.
• * The brain can suffer damage if heated too high, take proper precautions.
• * The person receiving the treatment should always listen to their own body. End the treatment at the first sign of stress. It should be noted that the inflammation response within the body is by its very nature stressful, but it is better to proceed slowly until all involved know what to expect.

Far infrared has an added benefit in that its electromagnetic vibration is the same as the one the body emits. This vibrational harmony creates a compatibility between the two which extremely hot water does not share with the body. Because of this shared vibration far infrared penetrates the body tissues deeper, for it does not have to touch the tissue in order to affect it. It’s similar to how one can visually tune a guitar by watching a plucked string vibrate the unplucked string next to it. This phenomena only happens when the two strings are tuned alike. So, one knows the unplucked string is in tune with the plucked string when it vibrates without having been touched.
Other Alternative Cancer Therapies
Because traditional medicine has had no major breakthrough in the treatment of cancer for the last… well, most everybody’s lifetime… people are turning to other forms of treatment. A fairly complete list of these alternative cancer treatments can be viewed at the Cancer Tutor website.
One of the better known and respected is the Gerson therapy. It is a regiment of diet, supplements and coffee enemas. The goal of the Gerson therapy is to restore the body’s oxidization process. A strict protocol of detoxification through six enemas is accompanied by drinking the juice of 20 pounds of organically grown vegetables on a daily basis. So one part is to eliminate the garbage from the body while rebuilding the damaged body the garbage created. Progress is slow and demands a minimum commitment of a year and a half to the program.
When it come to the treatment of cancer our society deserves better than the medical establishment. By now it deserves a cure.
