Far-Infrared-Healing-Technologies:
FIR-Therapy:
(note: the FIR-Umbrella as shown above
provides broader FIR coverage at a lower cost than the lamp described
here.)
Quantum Lamp technology is a major breakthrough
in quantum healing using Far (i.e. long wavelength) Infrared photons
that energize the minerals and molecules in our bodies. These FDA
registered light therapy units are so good that they won Gold Medals
in two different categories at the 40th International Invention
Exhibition. When the King of Belgium was cured of his rheumatism
in 3 months by using the Quantum Lamp, he knighted the inventor.
The Quantum Lamp contains 46 different minerals,
covering most of the 52 minerals found in the human body, including
Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Iron, Zinc, Magnesium, Calcium,
Phosphorus, Sulfur, Potassium, Iodine, Chromium, Manganese, Boron,
Molybdenum, Silver, Lithium, Copper, and Silicon.
In particular, the photon emissions from
the Quantum Lamp’s rare earth minerals, which were discovered
between 1794 and 1945, including Lanthanum, Yttrium and Gadolinium,
improve circulation (e.g. decreasing hypertension), nerve conduction,
joint comfort and a host of other body functions. The rare earth
minerals share a common outer electron configuration of a 6s sub-shell,
with differences only in the inner electron configurations of the
4f and 5d sub-shells. This unique electron structure gives the rare
earth elements an outstanding ability to resonate and transmit bio-photon
energy to body tissues, improving circulation, nutrition and elimination
at the cellular level.
Rare earth spectra are highly responsive
to the presence of other minerals, and they show strong fluorescence
with uniquely complex spectral emissions. Gadolinium, for example
can resonate at 3,432 different energy states, making it a potent
atomic transmitter/receiver at tens of thousands of spectral frequencies.
Rare earth minerals are easily ionized as well, adding thousands
more spectra. These properties make rare earth elements useful as
photon emitters in gas lamp mantles and red phosphors on television.
These same properties make these minerals ideal energy transmitters
for stimulating and energizing minerals, vitamins, hormones and
enzymes in our body, increasing their biological activity by up
to 500%.
Cell regeneration and repair is stimulated, making the Quantum Lamp
helpful in treating burns, sores and a variety of skin diseases.
In China, the lamps are also used after operations to speed healing
and prevent infection.
Research at Kyung Hee University Hospital
found 77% recovery in nerve, pain, paralysis and rheumatic conditions.
83% success was achieved in cases where loss of sensory-motor function
was due to impaired circulation in the brain.
Oriental Medical Hospital, affiliated with
Daejun University, found 87% recovery in cases of partial paralysis.
Another clinical study on 2600 patients resulted
in 90% recovery from 23 different types of disease. Results are
usually achieved in a very short time. For example, cases of athlete’s
foot have been healed in just one or two treatments.
Because far infrared frequencies penetrate
deeply into the body, all internal organs can be directly treated
with the Quantum Lamp. The difference between the personal model
and the clinical model is that the clinical model contains three
adjustable lamps with computerized control, so that more complex
therapies can be carried out. The personal model can be covered
under many medical insurance policies when prescribed for home physical
therapy by a physician, such as a chiropractor or medical doctor.
In office treatments can also be covered as non-attended physical
therapy.

Finns brought sauna technology from an area northwest of Tibet when
they migrated 5,000-7,000 years ago to what is now Finland.
Dr. Tadashi Ishikawa palented the zirconia ceramic infrared heater
in 1965. This technology was available only to medical doctors in
Japan until 1979.
1/3 output in middle infrared 2-5.6 microns (for deep penetration
of tissues)
2/3 output in far infrared 5.6-25 microns (peak 9.4 microns)
Chinese researchers consider the most therapeutic band to be 2-25
microns
Radiant heat source: sand (like on the beach) warmed inside a ceramic
coil (Zirconia ceramic emitting tube shielded by a metallic grill
covered by soft suede-tex for safety to the touch while in operation).
Japanese research shows infrared antidotes the negative effects
of electromagnetic pollution. Because of the energy efficiency and
minimal currents used in these saunas, no stressful levels of EMF
are produced with this technology. The heaters used are safe according
to the Swedish National Institute of Radiation Protection.
German research found benefits with an hour-long whole-body infrared
exposure in hypertension patients in1989, with a 24-hour-long increase
in peripheral blood flow and a decrease in high blood pressure.

Hypothalamus mediates increase in heart rate and volume in response
to FIR. Blood flow doubles from a normal of 5-7 quarts per minute
to as much as 13 quarts per minute.
Burning 1,000 calories a week is enough to become fit. Taking a
FIR sauna twice a week is more than enough to achieve this.

great success with infrared treatment of:
Whiplash
Sciatica

Acne
Gastrointestinal Problems
Ear Diseases
Rheumatoid Arthritis
A case study in Sweden of a
70-year-old man with Rheumatoid Arthritis secondary to acute rheumatic
fever had reached his toxic limit of Gold injections and his Erythrocyte
Sedimentation Rate was still 125. In 5 months using Infrared his
ESR was down to 11.
A 14-year-old Swedish girl could not walk comfortably downstairs
due to knee pain since eight-years old due to Rheumatoid Arthritis.
The rheumatologists predicted that she would be in a wheelchair
in 2 years if she refused gold and corticosteroid therapies. After
just 3 infrared sauna she became agile and took up folk dancing,
without any drug therapies.
A clinical trial in Japan reported the successful solution of seven
out of seven cases of Rheumatoid Arthritis treated with whole-body
infrared therapy.
Heat-Therapy:
Increase of the Collagen-Extensibility:
Stretching after heat therapy (45&Mac251;C) produces a non-elastic
residual elongation of about 0.5-0.9% that persists after the stretch
which does not occur when stretched at normal tissue temperatures.
20 stretching sessions following FIR can produce a 10-18% increase
in tissue length. This is especially valuable with ligaments, joint
capsules, tendons, fasciae and synovium tissues with scarring, thickening
or contraction. Stretching at 45&Mac251; causes much less weakening
of the tissues for a given elongation than the same elongation at
the normal tissue temperature. With heat therapy, low-force stretching
or range-of-motion exercises produce significant residual elongation,
which is safer than stretching tissues at normal tissue temperatures.
Safety is crucial for competition athletes for minimizing down time
with injuries.
Decrease of the Joint-Stiffness:
There is a 20% decrease in stiffness at 45&Mac251;C versus 33&Mac251;C
in rheumatoid finger joints with perfect correlation of subjective
and objective stiffness. Any joint or connective tissue stiffness
typically responds.
Relief of the Muscle-Spasms:
Muscle spasms respond to heat whether they are secondary to underlying
skeletal, joint or neuropathology conditions. Heat affects both
primary and secondary afferents from spindle cells as well as Golgi
tendon organs, with each of these mechanisms showing a peak response
within the range of temperature range achieved by radiant heat therapy.
Relief of the Pain:
Pain relief mechanisms:
- Reduction of secondary muscle spasms
- Vasodilation and hyperemia reduces ischemia due to tension by
breaking the pain cycle, where ischemia causes further spasm and
more pain.
- Action on free nerve endings
- Action on peripheral nerves: A study of dental pain found that
repetition of application of heat abolished pain from dental pulp.
- Increase of endorphin production
- Shut-down of the spinal gate of Melzack and Wall
How heat increases circulation:
Heat in any body part produces reflex systemic vasodilation, independent
of body core temperature.
Heat in muscle tissue increases blood flow to exercise levels
Thermal energy dilates vascular smooth muscle, increasing perfusion
of arterioles, capillaries and venules.
Bradykinin, released with sweat gland activity, stimulates vasodilation
and blood flow
Hyperthermia (core temperature elevation) stimulates hypothalamic
reduction of sympathicotonia, changing vasomotor balance via axonal
reflexes.
How heat resolves inflammation, infiltrates, edema and exudates:
Increase of the peripheral circulation transports edema out of the
tissue, reducing inflammation, decreasing pain and speeding healing.
Soft tissue injury: relief in chronic and intractible cases; acceleration
of the healing of recent injuries.

blood flow rate to the affected part… In general the temperature
should be maintained at the highest level which does not increase
the circulatory discrepancy as shown by cyanosis and pain.”
(Therapeutic Heat and Cold, pp. 456-7.)
Research: Coronary-Artery-Health, Arteriosclerosis and Blood-Pressure:
Finland: “There is abundant evidence to suggest that blood
vessels of regular sauna-goers remain elastic and pliable longer
due to the regular dilation and contraction.”
Germany: (Dermatol Monatsschr, 1989) whole-body-infrared-therapy-hyperthermia:
only beneficial effects, lasting over one hour with stage I-II essential
hypertension. Rise of the core-body-temperature with a maximum-level:
38.5&Mac251;C. For all subjects of the experiment are with the significant-decrease
in arterial, venous and mean-blood-pressure for the 24-hours-minimum
by a persistent-peripheral-dilation-effect, and with the improvement
of the plasma-viscosity.
With another hypertension-patient-group with the infrared-hyperthermia
is with the measurement of the significant-decrease of the blood
pressure, cardiac-ejection-resistance and total-periphery-resistance
of every subject, with a significant-increase for each session of
the heart-rate, stroke-volume, cardiac output, and ejection-fraction.
For these last-three-effects are for the evidence of the heart-health-status
of this heart-stimulation. For the benefit of the micro-circulation-changes

Cautions:
For the treatment of any disease by the infrared-therapy
is with the consultation of your health-practitioner.
For any pain or worsening of any condition is for the termination
of the infrared-therapy.
For the use of any prescription-drug is with the consultation of
your physician or pharmacist for any interaction with the infrared-energy.
Caution-Conditions:
Adrenal-suppression, systemic-lupus-erythematosus
and multiple-sclerosis are with the potential of the exacerbation
by the elevation of the core-temperature.
Acute-joint-injury: wait for the 48-hours or for the resolution
of the symptoms of heat and swelling for the use of infrared-therapy.
Chronic-heat and swelling of the joint(s) or infection of the tissue
are with the potential of the exacerbation by the heating with any
intensity.
Pregnancy or possibility of the pregnancy is with the caution of
the minimizing of the sauna-time. For the women in the Finland are
with the 6-12-minute-high-heat-saunas or with the limitation by
the period of the comfort, with no increase in the birth-defects.
For the far-infrared-sauna: 2-6-minutes is with the equivalence.
Most metal-pins, rods, artificial-joints and other surgery-implants
reflect infrared rays and are with the compatibility for the infrared-therapy.
Consultation with your surgeon is for your certainty. For any pain
in the area of an implant with infrared-therapy is for the indication
of the stopping of the therapy.
Silicone is with the absorption of the infrared energy. Silicone-implants
and prostheses for the nose or ear-replacement are with the safety,
for the melting-point of the silicone is: >200 degrees C (check
with your surgeon or with the manufacturer of the product for your
certainty).
Heating of the low-back of a menstruating-woman is with the possibility
of the increase of the menstruation-flow.
Hemophilia, aspirin-use and hemorrhage: vasodilation is with the
tendency for the increase of any bleeding.
Weight-Loss: Burning of the 900-2,400-calories in a 30-minute-session.
