QUICK HIGHLIGHTS OF SELECTED TOPICS OF INTEREST:

BENEFITS REPORTED

WEIGHT LOSS: Burns 900 - 2,400 calories in just one 30-minute session!

Here's how many calories a 150-pound person normally burns up in 30 minutes of

exercise: SPORT CALORIES Rowing (peak effort) 600 Swimming (crawl

stroke) 300 Jogging 300 Tennis (fast game) 265 Chopping Wood 265 Cycling

(10

mph) 225 Golfing (without a cart) 150 Walking (3.5 mph) 120 Vigorous

Racquet Ball 510 Marathon Running 593

Some weight loss authorities believe that our bodies use fat to dilute

toxins. As an IR (infrared) Thermal System is an unsurpassed expeller of

toxins,

it is also a great way to get rid of any fat our bodies are using to dilute

toxins we are storing.

BEAUTY: Excellent for increasing blood circulation to the skin, which is

essential for beautiful, youthful, glowing skin! A new " inner glow " as the skin

is free of accumulated dirt and dry skin cells, due to deep cleansing of

impurities! Help for acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns and any skin lesions or

cuts.

Open wounds heal quicker with reduced scarring. Removes roughness, leaving

skin baby smooth and soft again. Firms and improves skin tone and elasticity.

SCARS on SKIN: Scars fully formed, even keloids, may be gradually softened.

Burns and other wounds or incisions may heal with significantly reduced

scarring.

CELLULITE: Cellulite is a gel-like substance made up of fat, water, and

wastes that are trapped in pockets below the skin. An Infrared Thermal System

can

assist this condition, as profuse sweating helps clear this form of unwanted

debris from the body. European Beauty specialists confirm: a sauna will

greatly speed any anti-cellulite program! Due to at least twice the depth of

heat

penetration into cellulite combined with up to 10 times the level of heating

in these tissues an Infrared Thermal System can be significantly more

effective than any conventional sauna.

RELIEVE PAIN: Effective for arthritis, back pain, muscle spasms, headache,

etc.

INJURIES: Radiant heat helps with sprains, strains, arthritis, muscle spasm

and pain. If you are an athlete, this IR Thermal System is all good news. It

allows oxygen debt to be repaid more quickly. That's likely to lead to

improved and quicker healing of sprains and muscle pain for you!

The heaters in these IR Thermal Systems emit about one-third of their output

in the middle infrared band, from 2 - 5.6 microns, for super-deep

penetration and the other two-thirds in the long band, from 5.6 - 25 microns

with that

part of the output evenly spread around the 9.4 micron pivot point of peak

human output. This distribution maximizes the higher penetration of the

middle-band waves and combines them with the long waves that produce a resonant

absorption amplification of healthy tissue output. The Chinese researchers

consider the band from 2 - 25 microns as the most therapeutic.

The source of infrared heat in these Thermal Systems is actually sand,

warmed by an electrical resistance coil embedded within it. This is the same

luxurious radiant heat we all enjoy while vacationing at the beach. The sand

and

coil are contained in a long, thin ceramic tube also tuned to our bodies.

This zirconia ceramic emitting tube is shielded by a metallic grill that is

covered by a soft coating of suede-tex, and is safe to touch while it is

operating.

Recent books such as 'Cross Currents', by Robert O. Becker, M.D., have

detailed the hazards of exposure to certain kinds of electromagnetic fields

such

as those encountered under high tension power lines or while working at

computer display terminals. Japanese researchers have reported that infrared

radiant heat antidotes the negative effects of such toxic electromagnetic

sources.

These Thermal Systems have been tested and found to be free of such so-called

" toxic " electromagnetic fields. The Swedish National Institute of Radiation

Protection has concluded that the heaters in the Thermal System are not

dangerous.

ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND AVAILABLE

Why is this Infrared Thermal System Unique?

It uses infrared radiant energy to directly penetrate the body's tissues to

a depth of over 1 1/2 " . Its energy output is tuned to correspond so closely

to the body's own radiant energy that our bodies absorb close to 93% of the

infrared waves that reach our skin.

A conventional sauna must rely only on indirect means of heat: First, on

convection (air currents) and then, conduction (direct contact of hot air with

the skin) to produce its heating effect on us. In an IR Thermal System, less

than 20% of the infrared energy heats the air, leaving over 80% available to

be directly converted to heat within our bodies. Thus an IR based system can

warm its user(s) to a much greater depth and much more efficiently than a

conventional sauna, as its energy output is primarily used to convert energy

directly to heat in us and not to create excessively hot air that then only

heats

the skin superficially, this crucial difference explains many of the

unprecedented benefits reported to be available through an Infrared Thermal

System

that are not attainable through the use of a conventional sauna.

The infrared energy applied in these thermal systems may induce up to 2 - 3

times the sweat volume of a hot-air sauna while operating at a significantly

cooler air temperature range of 110 to 130 degrees F. vs. 180 to 235 degrees

F. for hot-air saunas. The lower heat range is safer for those concerned

about cardiovascular risk factors that might be adverely affected by the higher

temperatures encountered in old-style hot-air saunas. German researchers

report beneficial effects from hour-long whole-body infrared exposure in two

groups of hypertension patients that they studied in 1989 including a 24-hour

long

increase in peripheral blood flow and decreases in high blood pressure.

It is also distinctly more pleasant to breathe air that is from 50 to 125

degrees F. cooler while saunaing. Due to its " user-friendly " nature, people

naturally prefer to use the Thermal Systems and will continue to do so on a

regular basis due to the ease of breathing much cooler air while feeling as

warm

as they choose, and to a distinctive feeling of well-being reported by users

as an after effect. These Thermal Systems may even be used with the door

fully open if the only effect desired is infrared penetration or if a very cool

no-sweat experience is desired as in a pre-activity warm-up while fully

clothed. This approach might be used in warming up prior to stretching, working

out, running or exposure to cold weather.

These IR systems are easier as well as more comfortable to use than

old-fashioned hot-air saunas. Hot air saunas require extensive warm-up periods

of 30

- 90 minutes, making them much less practical than the modern Infrared

Thermal Systems which warm up in only 5 to 10 minutes from room temperature.

Consistent and convenient at-home use is thus, again, much more likely with an

IR

Thermal System.

Significantly lower operating costs make the Infrared Thermal System more

desirable than a regular sauna. A 20-minute session, including a 10-minute

warm-up in the Infrared Sauna, costs about 5 cents of electricity. A comparable

session with a full warm-up in a conventional sauna costs about $.75 - $1.00.

Daily usage of the Infrared Thermal System will raise your electrical bill by

only $1.50 a month compared to $22.50 to $30.00 a month in a conventional

sauna, if each is used for 20 minutes after warm-up.

These Infrared Thermal Systems bring you the same infrared rays experienced

in the traditional American Indian sweat lodge and bring them to you in a

much more convenient and easily used form, in the privacy of your own home. The

cleansing and purifying benefits attributed to the traditional sweat lodges

are now available for daily purification without the time-consuming and

extremely labor-intensive set-up process that a sweat lodge requires.

HEALTH BENEFITS ATTRIBUTED TO INFRARED RAYS IN REPORTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Over the last 25 years, Japanese and Chinese researchers and clinicians have

done extensive research on infrared treatments and report many provocative

findings. In Japan there is an " Infrared Society, " composed of medical doctors

and physical therapists, to further research and support the health benefits

of infrared as a method of healing. There have been 700,000 infrared thermal

systems sold in the Orient for whole-body treatments, and an additional 30

million people have received localized infrared treatment in the Orient,

Europe and Australia with lamps tuned to the same 2 - 25 micron wave band as

employed in these whole-body Thermal Systems. Whole-body infrared therapy has

been

used for over 80 years by German physicians in an independently developed

form.

PASSIVE CARDIOVASCULAR CONDITIONING EFFECT

The Infrared Thermal System makes it possible for people in wheelchairs, or

those who are otherwise unable to exert themselves or who won't follow

through on an exercising and conditioning program to achieve a cardiovascular

training effect. This also allows for more variety in any ongoing training

program.

" Many of us who run do so to place a demand on our cardiovascular system,

not to build big leg muscles. Regular use of a sauna may impart a similar

stress on the cardiovascular system, and its regular use may be as effective,

as a

means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories, as regular

exercise. " As reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Aug.

7 1981.

Due to the deep penetration, over 1 1/2 inches into the skin, of the

infrared rays generated by these IR Thermal Systems, there is a heating effect

deep

in the muscular tissues and the internal organs. The body responds to this

deep-heating effect via an hypothalamic-induced increase in both heart volume

and rate. This beneficial heart stress leads to a sought-after cardiovascular

training and conditioning effect. Medical research confirms the use of a

sauna provides cardiovascular conditioning as the body works to cool itself and

involves substantial increases in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic

rate. As a confirmation of the validity of this form of cardiovascular

conditioning, extensive research by NASA in the early 1980's led to the

conclusion

that infrared stimulation of cardiovascular function would be the ideal way to

maintain cardiovascular conditioning in American astronauts during long space

flights. Blood flow during whole-body hyperthermia is reported to rise from

a normal 5 - 7 quarts per minute to as much as 13 quarts per minute.

" The 1980's was the decade of high-impact aerobics classes and high-mileage

training. Yet there was something elitist about the way exercise was

prescribed: only strenuous workouts would do, you had to raise your heart rate

to

between X and Y, the only way to go was to 'go for the burn.' And such

strictures insured that most 'real' exercisers were relatively young and in

good shape

to begin with. Many, many Americans got caught up in the fitness boom, but

probably just as many fell by the wayside. As we've reported, recent research

shows that you don't have to run marathons to become fit - that burning just

1,000 calories a week... is enough. Anything goes, as long as it burns these

calories. " Reported in the Wellness Letter, Oct. 1990, from the University

of California Berkeley.

OUTSTANDING CALORIC CONSUMPTION AND WEIGHT CONTROL

In Guyton's Textbook of Medical Physiology, we find that producing one gram

of sweat requires 0.586 kcal. The JAMA citation referred to above goes on to

state that, " A moderately conditioned person can easily sweat off 500 gm. in

a sauna, consuming nearly 300 kcal -- the equivalent of running 2-3 miles. A

heat-conditioned person can easily sweat off 600 - 800 ckal with no adverse

effects. While the weight of the water loss can be regained by re-hydration

with water, the calories consumed will not be. " Since an IR Thermal System

helps generate two to three times the sweat produced in a hot-air sauna, the

implications for increased caloric consumption are quite impressive. Assuming

" a

sauna " as mentioned in JAMA, to last for 30 minutes, some interesting

comparisons may be drawn. Two of the highest calorie output forms of exercise

are

rowing and marathon running. Peak output on a rowing machine or during a

marathon run burns about 600 calories in 30 minutes. An Infrared Thermal System

may

better this effect from " just slightly " to up to 250%, by burning some 900

to 2400 calories in a 30-minute session. The Infrared Thermal System might

then simulate the consumption of energy equal to that expended in a 6 - 9 mile

run during only a single session.

An Infrared Thermal System can, thus, play a pivotal role in both weight

control and cardiovascular conditioning. this would be easily valuable for

those

who don't exercise and those who can't exercise yet want an effective weight

control and fitness maintenance program and the benefits that regular

exercise can contribute to such a program.

infrared treatment for: Whiplash Menopause Arthritis Shoulder Stiffness

Rheumatism Insomnia Gastroenteric Problems Sciatica Acne Ear Diseases

Rheumatoid Arthritis

A case study was reported in Sweden of a 70-year-old man with Rheumatoid

Arthritis secondary to acute rheumatic fever. He had reached his toxic limit on

Gold injections and his Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate was still 125. Within

5 months of use of an Infrared Thermal System, his ERS was down to only 11.

In a case of Rheumatic Arthritis in a 14-year-old, Swedish girl who couldn't

walk comfortably downstairs due to knee pain since she had been eight-years

old, her rheumatologists 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 of seven out of

seven cases of Rheumatoid Arthritis treated with whole-body infrared therapy.

These case studies and the clinical trial indicate that further study is

warranted on the use of whole-body infrared therapy in the care of patients

with

Rheumatoid Arthritis.

The following is summarized from 'Therapeutic Heat and Cold,' 4th edition,

ED. Justus F. Lehmann M.D., Willians and Wilkins, chapter 9 or concluded from

the data therein.

Generally it is accepted that heat produces the following desirable

therapeutic effects:

1. It increases the extensibility of collagen tissues.

Tissues heated to 45 deg. C and then stretched exhibit a non-elastic

residual elongation of about 0.5 - 0.9% that persists after the stretch is

removed

which does not occur in these same tissues when stretched at normal tissue

temperatures. Thus 20 stretching sessions can produce a 10 - 18 percent

increase

in length in tissues so heated and stretched.

This effect would be especially valuable in working with ligaments, joint

capsules, tendons, fasciae, and synovium that have become scarred, thickened or

contracted.

Such stretching at 45 degrees C. caused much less weakening in stretched

tissues for a given elongation than a similar elongation produced at normal

tissue temperatures.

The experiments cited clearly showed that low-force stretching can produce

significant residual elongation when heat is applied together with stretching

or range-of-motion exercise, which is also safer than stretching tissues at

normal tissue temperatures.

This safer stretching effect is crucial in properly training competitive

athletes so as to minimize their " down " time from injuries.

2) It decreases joint stiffness directly.

There was a 20% decrease in stiffness at 45 degrees C. as compared with 33

degrees C. in rheumatoid finger joints, which correlated perfectly to both

subjective and objective observation of stiffness.

Any stiffened joint and thickened connective tissues should respond in a

similar fashion.

3) It relieves muscle spasms.

Muscle spasms have long been observed to be reduced through the use of heat,

be they secondary to underlying skeletal, joint, or neuropathological

conditions. Japanese researchers, as reported in the book " Infrared Therapy " by

Dr.

Yamajaki, have produced the following provocative results with whole-body

infrared thermal systems:

Burns - relieves pain, and decreases healing time, with less scarring

High Blood Pressure - safe in 40 - 50 degree C. range and 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

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; then the Thermal Systems were used to deal with

permanent residuals. The pain control 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.

BLOOD CIRCULATION

All the following ailments may be associated to some degree with poor

circulation and, thus, may respond well to the increased peripheral dilation

associated with IR application:

Arthritis Sciatica Backaches Hemorrhoids Nervous Tension Diabetes Children's

Over-tired Muscles Varicose Veins Neuritis Bursitis Rheumatism Strained

Muscles Fatigue Stretch Marks Menstrual Cramps Upset Stomachs Leg and Decubitus

Ulcers - that fail 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%.

Peripheral Occlusive Disease - " The goal is to maintain an optimal 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.

Coronary Artery Disease, Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension

Finnish researchers, talking about the regular use of conventional saunas

state that " 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 " of blood vessels induced by sauna use.

German medical researchers reported in " Dermatol Monatsscher " in 1989 that a

single whole-body session of infrared-induced hyperthermia lasting over one

hour had only beneficial effects on subjects with stage I-II essential

hypertension. Each subject experienced a rise in core body temperature to

maximum

level of 38.5 deg C. All of the subjects in one experiment had significant

decreases in arterial, venous and mean blood pressure that lasted for at least

24 hours and was linked, according to the researchers, to a persistent

peripheral dilation effect.

This result is possibly produced by the combined effect of heat on both

primary and secondary afferents from spindle cells and from its effects on

Golgi

tendon organs. The effects produced by each of these mechanisms demonstrated

their peak effects within the therapeutic temperature range obtainable with

radiant heat.

4) It produces pain relief.

Pain may be relieved via the reduction of attendant or secondary muscle

spasms. Pain is also at times related to ischemia due to tension or spasm which

can be improved by the hyperemia that heat-induced vasodilation produces, thus

breaking the feedback loop, in which the ischemia leads to further spasm and

then more pain.

Heat has been shown to reduce pain sensation by direct action on both

free-nerve endings in tissues and on peripheral nerves. In one dental study,

repeated heat applications led finally to abolishment of the whole nerve

response

responsible for pain arising from dental pulp.

Heat may both lead to increased endorphin production and a shutting down of

the so-called " spinal gate " of Melzack and Wall, each of which can reduce

pain.

5) It increases blood flow.

Heating of one area of the body produces reflex-modulated vasodilation in

distant-body areas, even in the absence of a change in core body temperature;

ie., heat one extremity and the contralateral extremity also dilates; heat a

forearm and both lower extremities dilate; heat the front of the trunk and the

hand dilates.

Heating of muscles produces an increased blood flow level similar to that

seen during exercise.

Temperature elevation produces an increase in blood flow and dilation

directly in capillaries, arterioles and venules, probably through direct action

on

their smooth muscles. The release of bradykinin, released as a consequence of

sweat-gland activity, also produces increased blood flow and vasodilation.

Whole-body hyperthermia, with a consequent core temperature elevation,

further induces vasodilation via a hypothalmic-induced decrease in sympathetic

tone on the arteriovenous anastomoses. Vasodilation is also produced by axonal

reflexes and by reflexes that change vasomotor balance.

6) It assists in resolution of inflammatory infiltrates, edema and exudates.

The increased peripheral circulation provides the transport needed to help

evacuate the edema that can help end inflammation, decrease pain, and help

speed healing.

7) More recently, it has been used in cancer therapy.

This is a new and experimental procedure. It shows great promise in some

cases when used properly. American researchers favor careful monitoring of the

tumor temperature; whereas, the successes reported in Japan make no mention

of such precaution.

There have been over 7,000 IR Thermal Systems sold in America, and infrared

healing is now becoming the leading edge in the care of soft tissue injuries

to promote both relief in chronic or intractable " permanent " cases, and

accelerated healing in newer injuries.

Localized infrared therapy using lamps tuned to 2 - 25 micron waveband is

used for the treatment and relief of pain by over 40 reputable Chinese Medical

Institutes.

Researchers reported over 90% success in a summary of Chinese studies that

assessed the effect of infrared therapy on:

Soft tissue injury Lumbar strain Periarthritis of the shoulder Sciatica Pain

during menstruation Neurodermatitis Eczema with infection Post-surgical

infections Facial paralysis (Bell's Palsy) Diarrhea Cholecystitis Neurasthenia

Pelvic infection Pediatric pneumonia Tineas Frostbite with inflammation

An improvement in plasma viscosity was also noted.

Another group of similar hypertensive patients was also studied under the

same conditions of infrared-induced hyperthermia, with an eye toward more

carefully evaluating the circulatory system effects induced by this type of

whole-body heating. During each infrared session there was a significant

decrease

of blood pressure, cardiac ejection resistance, and total peripheral

resistance in every subject.

There was also a significant increase during each session of the subject's

heart rates, stroke volumes, cardiac outputs and ejection fractions. The

researchers site these last three effects as evidence that the simulation of

the

heart during infrared-induced hyperthermia is well compensated, while the

prior list of effects show in clear detail the microcirculatory changes that

lead

to the desired result of a lowering of blood pressure.

Problems often accompanying Aging, that have been reported to have been

alleviated or reduced by infrared therapy in Japan:Menopause

Cold hands and 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 later stages of cancer extremely well.

Sequelae of Strokes - Example: Hemiparesis relieved over time.

Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy - reduced

Duodenal Ulcers - eliminated.

Pain - which prevented sleep or limited useable sleep positions was

relieved.

Compression Fracture Pain - Example: pain gone in 3 days after each

treatment in osteoporotic compression fractures.

Hemorrhoids - reduced.

Cystitis - gone

Cirrhosis 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 - In one clinical study of

chronic serous otitis media no pathogenic bacteria were isolated in 70% of the

subjects studied.

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. Mikkel Aaland's book 'Sweat' (Capra Press, 1978) quotes

a Finnish doctor to the effect that: " The best dressed foreigner can come

into a doctor's office, and when his skin is 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 Thermal System sauna

may eliminate the cause of offensive body odor. It definitely reduces body

odor induced by occupational exposure to odorous chemicals.

Eczema and Psoriasis - have reportedly responded extremely well to Infrared

treatments.

Sunburn - According to the Ninth Edition of Clayton's Electrotherapy,

" Infrared radiation is the only antidote to excessive ultraviolet radiation. "

Keloids form at a reduced rate in those prone to there formations with IR

Thermal use and may be softened by use of IR Thermal Systems if they have

formed.

Dandruff - Due to increased blood flow through the scalp.
