                    Dr. Masao Nakamura of the O & P Medical Clinic in Japan

                has reported great success with the use of Infrared treatment for:

 

• Whiplash

• Sciatica

• Menopause

• Arthritis

• Shoulder Stiffness

• Acne

• Gastroenteric Problems

• Ear Disease

• Insomnia

 

                                                        Rheumatoid Arthritis


A case study was reported in Sweden of a 70 year old man who had reached his toxic limit of Gold injections and still his Rheumatoid Arthritis was still ailing him.  Within 5 months of undergoing an Infrared treatment his Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate went from 125 to 11. In a case of rheumatic arthritis of a 14 year old Swedish girl who couldn’t walk comfortably downstairs due to knee pain since she had been eight years old, the rheumatologist told her mother that her child would be in a wheelchair within 2 years if she refused gold corticosteroid therapy. However, after 3 Infrared Sauna treatments, she began to become more agile and subsequently took up folk dancing, without the aid of the conventional approach in her recovery.

 

A clinical trial in Japan reported the successful solution in 7 out of 7 cases of Rheumatoid Arthritis treated with whole-body Infrared therapy.



 

       The following is a summary from Justus Lehman M,D.,Williams and Wikins:

 

• It increases the extensibility of collagen tissues

• It decreases joint stiffness directly

• It relieves muscle spasms

• It produces pain relief

• It increases blood flow

• It assists in resolution of inflammation, edema and exudates

• More recently, it has been used in cancer therapy with much success

 

Infrared healing is now becoming the leading edge in the care of soft tissue injuries to promote both relief in chronic or “permanent” cases, and accelerated healing in newer injuries. Localized Infrared therapy using lamps is used for the treatment and relief of pain by over 40 reputable Chinese Medical Institutes.


 

                Researchers reported over 90% success in summary of Chinese

                       studies that assessed the effect of Infrared Therapy on:

 
• Soft tissue injury                               • Diarrhea

• Lumbar strain                                    • Cholecystitis

• Periarthritis of the shoulder               • Nerasthenia

• Sciatica                                             * Pelvic infection

• Pain during menstruation                  • Pediatric Pneumonia
• Neurodermatitis                                • Tineas

• Eczema with infection                      • Frostbite with inflammation

• Post-surgical infection                      • Facial paralysis (Bell’s Palsy)




 

                Japanese researchers, as reported in the book “Infrared Therapy”

               by Dr.Yamajaki, have produced the following provocative results:

 

• Burns: relieves pain and decreases healing time, with less scarring
• High blood pressure: regular use helps to lower it
• Low blood pressure: sauna trains body to raise it
• Brain Damage: accelerated repair in brain contusions
• Short-term memory improved
• Cancer of the tongue reversed
• Toxic Electromagnetic fields: effects neutralized
• Cerebral Hemorrhages; recovery is both sped up and significantly enhanced

• Auto Accident; related soft tissue injury- daily sessions were used until best healing was         attained; the Infrared systems were used to deal with permanent residuals. The pain              effect on the chronic residuals from such injuries lasted three days before another                 treatment was necessary.

• Arthritis, acute and chronic; was greatly relieved

• Gouty Arthritis; relieved

• Rheumatoid Arthritis: relieved

• Menopause Symptoms: relieved chills, nervousness, depression, dizziness, head and             stomach aches

• Weight Loss: first, through sweating and the energy use needed to produce the sweat and     second, through direct excretion of fat

 

                        Problems often accompanying aging that are reported 

               to have been alleviated or reduced by Infrared Therapy in Japan:

 

• Menopause

• Cold hands & feet: A physical therapist found 20-50% improvement was maintained

• High blood Pressure: Example: - Case of a diabetic with a systolic decrease from 180 to         125 and a concurrent 10 lbs. weight loss after Infrared use

• Rheumatoid Arthritis: 7 out of 7 cases successfully resolved in one clinical trial

• Radiation Sickness: relieves signs and symptoms

• Cancer pain: relieved pain in late stages of cancer extremely well

• Sequelai of Strokes: Example: hemiparesis relieved over time
• Duodenal Ulcers: eliminated
• Pain: which prevented sleep or limited useable sleeping position were relieved

• Compression Fracture Pain: Example: - pain gone for 3 days after each treatment

• Hemorrhoids: reduced

• Cystitis: gone

• Cirrhoisis of Liver: reversed

• Gastritis: relieved

• Hepatitis: gone

• Asthma & Bronchitis: cleared up (like moving to Arizona’s dry air)
• Chron’s Disease: gone
• Post Surgical Adhesions: reduced
• Leg ulcers: healed when previously static and resistant to other care

• Keloids: significantly softened and, in some cases, completely gone

 


 

    Ear, Nose and Throat conditions Relieved with Infrared Treatments in Japan:

 

• Chronic middle-ear inflammation or infection: relieved

• Sore throats

• Tinitus: Chronic severe case cleared with 10 Infrared treatments
• Nose bleeding

 

 

        Skin conditions Benefited by Infrared Treatments in Japan and China:

 

• Nettle rash

• Clogged pores are unplugged of cosmetics creating a skin texture and

    tone of unexcelled quality.



      Mikkkel Aalands’s book “Sweat” quotes a Finnish doctor to the effect that;

                “The best dressed foreigner can come into a doctor’s office,
                 and when his skin examined, it is found to be rough as bark.
                            On the other hand, as a result of the sauna,
                    the skin of any Finnish worker is supple and healthy.”

 

• Poor skin tone is restored to a more youthful level

• Scars and pain from burns or wounds are decreased in severity and extent.

    Infrared Therapy is used routinely in burn units throughout Asia.

• Lacerations heal quicker and with less pain and scarring.

• Acne: Three or four Infrared treatments may open pores that have not been functioning in     years, forcing out clogging cosmetics and loosening dead outer skin.  The sauna is thus a     boon to teenage skin, clearing acne and blackheads.

• Body odor: By improving the function of the skin, the Infrared treatments may eliminate         the cause of offensive body odor. It definitely reduces body odor induced by occupation        to chemicals.

• Eczema and Psoriasis: Reported to have responded extremely well to

    Infrared

• Sunburn: According to Clayton’s Electrotherapy,
        
“Infrared is the only antidote to excessive ultraviolet radiation.”
• Keloids form at a reduced rate in those prone to their formation with Infrared treatments         and may be softened by the use of Infrared systems if they have formed.

 

                                                Coronary Artery Disease

Finnish researchers, talking about the regular use of Infrared Saunas, state that there are abundant evidences to suggest that blood vessels of regular sauna-goers remain elastic and pliable longer due to the regular dilation and contraction of blood vessels induces by sauna use.

 

 

                                                        Blood Circulation

All of the following ailments may be associated to some degree with poor circulation and thus may respond well to the increased dilation associated with Infrared application:

 

• Arthritis

• Sciatica

• Backaches

• Hemorrhoids

• Nervous Tension

• Diabetes

• Children’s Overtired Muscles

• Varicose Veins

• Neuritis

• Bursitis

• Rheimatism

• Strained Muscles

• Fatigue

• Stretch Marks

• Menstrual Cramps

• Upset Stomachs

• Leg and Decubitus Ulcers: failed to heal using conventional approaches
• Post-Operative Edema; treatment with Infrared has been so successful

    that hospital stays were reported to have been reduced by 25%.

 

 

                                                               Fact

                Virtually every condition of ill health can be either eliminated

           or substantially improved by improving organ function through better

          distribution and assimilation of nutrients, removal of toxins and microbes,

                                        and balancing the pH of the body.


 

                                                             Fact

                                             High heat kills tumors.

                                       Cancer cells die at temperatures

                                            from 104 to 107 degrees.
