Cancer-Curing Far Infrared Ray Heat Therapy

Far Infrared Ray treatment has recently been verified to have a place in curing cancer, and the challenge is finding a way to make it accessible for everyone.

Cancer is directly associated with cell division and those that don’t separate can’t become cancerous. Therefore, the carcinoma of the brain is slightly rare, though it can happen because of other brain cells that are supportive in function called the glial cells. These divided cells are usually the cause of malignant brain cancer.

Far Infrared Ray treatment prevents the unnecessary separation of cells to avoid the multiplying of active cancer cells.

The study was presented by a commended professor of medical oncology Dr. Rolf Issels, who practices his teaching at Klinikum Grosshadern at the College of Munich in Germany. According to the study, the number of cancer patients who positively reacted to their chemotherapy doubled on the addition of focused heat care (Far Infrared Ray heat therapy) to their set of treatments. Far Infrared Ray therapy is also the first treatment with the capacity to lengthen a patient’s survival in cancer without going under surgery. Dr. Issels adds that after three years of FIR treatment, about half (42%) are “less to experience a recurrence of their cancer”.

The doctor adds that the heat from FIR treatment kills the tumor cells and makes it more susceptible to chemotherapy. Far Infrared Ray therapy is more than just a cancer aid. It has the same capability to stimulate the body’s own healing force by locally enhancing the body’s temperature. FIR targeted heat can repair damaged muscles and tissues, making it an efficient treatment for wounds, working superbly for rehabilitating patients who suffer from post-injury chronic pain and discomfort. Far Infrared Ray heat therapy can increase the patient’s vitality and permit them to take part in other activities.

Goodbye to Clumsy Hands Thanks to Plusheat’s Heated Gloves

What I totally despise about the ultra cold weather (we all know how unusually cold the climate is lately) is that it makes me so clumsy – most specially my hands. It is almost as if I do not have total control over it. I guess the chill is making my hands shake, making motor control hard. Besides, it becomes totally void of feeling so I don’t know if I am gripping something hard enough. Thanks to PlusHeat’s heated gloves, I can say goodbye to having clumsy hands.

Normally, people “bulk up” during winter time and by bulking up I mean they put layer after layer of clothes. Okay, it is not exactly the most flattering sight in the world but it does the job of keeping you warm. The problem with gloves is that you cannot really “bulk up” in that department. I mean, how many pairs of gloves can a person actually wear? You can’t exactly layer up on your gloves so that one that you are using must be warm enough to keep your hands comfortable.

The thing is, I have not exactly found the pair of gloves that will keep my hands nice, warm and cozy. I have tried all sorts of gloves with different materials but none of them worked as well as PlusHeat’s heated gloves. I guess the reason is pretty obvious, the other types of gloves have a warm material but it just is not enough to match up to the extra cold winter season. PlusHeat’s heated glove emits even heat to make sure that my hands are comfortable even while I am staying outside in the winter snow.

    At first I was a bit worried that it would be too hot for my taste but I was delighted that it comes with a temperature controller. I usually set mine to medium so it is warm enough to keep me comfortable but not too hot to burn my skin. I just make sure that I charge it every night before I go to bed and it is all ready to be used in the morning. Apparently layering is not the secret to having warm hands. All it takes is the right pair of gloves which in my case is PlusHeat’s heated gloves. I can say goodbye to clumsy winter hands for good!

Driving Comfortably with my Heated Car Seat Cover

At any time of the year, I enjoy long drives because of the scenic view that my eyes can feast on before I get to my destination. Well, I enjoy long drives at any time of the year EXCEPT during winter. It is just far too cold for my taste. You see, I am the sun loving person so quite naturally, winter is not my favorite time of the year even though some people just love how the snow coats the landscape.

It just is not my scene. Anyway, there I was feeling board and stuck at home one winter day. I don’t really like being cooped up in one place for too long but again, its winter time so what choice do I have? Anyway, out of my boredom I went online and started looking for jackets to help keep me warm. I stumbled upon the website of PlusHeat and found something even better than a jacket – a heated car seat cover.

Initially, I thought, why would I need a heated car seat cover when my car has a built in heater? Then again, I remembered how I often get discouraged from doing long drives because my heater just cannot cope with the intense cold outside. Let us just say that being in my car is not enough for me to freeze but it is not enough for me to feel comfortably warm either. Anyway, I decided to give this heated car seat cover a shot and bought one.

I immediately placed it on my car and went out for a drive – well, a test drive rather. I just wanted to see if it works and I was very happy to discover that it does! The first thing I did was to come home and informed my sister that I will be dropping by her place and I’ll stay there for a couple of days. You see, it’s a pretty long drive to my sister’s house and so I wouldn’t dare drive all the way there if I knew that I would not be comfortable on the road. Thanks to Plusheat’s heated seat cover, I can see my sister on a winter!

PlusHeat’s heated seat cover works like a charm. Now I can feed my wanderlust even though it is cold and freezing outside because I can be comfortably warm inside my car.

Recognizing and Treating Shoulder Injuries

During the summer season, there is an increase in the number of shoulder injury cases due to the many types of activities people engage in during this time. It’s the perfect season to go for a swim, play outdoor sports, hike and go mountain biking. The options are endless and there’s surely an exciting activity for every person.

A lot of people try to make the most out of the perfect, sunny weather. Although it’s a lot of fun, it posts a greater risk of injuring the shoulder blades and joints. Because of this, recognizing an injury and treating it properly is necessary to reduce the chances of needing invasive forms of shoulder pain relief now and in the future.

Shoulder injuries occur because the joints of the shoulders are part of practically all upper body motions. Hence, the main cause of shoulder problems is overuse and with that is a degree of micro trauma that may not be recognized right away. Although the damage may be small, it could accumulate so shoulder pain relief becomes necessary after some time. Continuous shoulder use during the painful stage may cause serious damage, turning the acute pain into chronic pain.

It is also possible for one strenuous incident to cause damage to the shoulder such as lifting something too heavy that may be compounded by poor lifting technique. It may not always be the intensity of the activity that cause shoulder pain but poor technique and execution. Hence, overuse and misuse of shoulder muscles may cause a person to look for shoulder pain relief because of the damage it causes.

These are some simple instructions one must keep in mind in case of a shoulder injury.

1. The rotator cuff is one of the most commonly injured shoulder structures. It is comprised of four muscles that envelope the joint for shoulder stability. Injuries in these ligaments often come with partial and complete shoulder dislocation.

2. For acute injuries, rest the shoulder and avoid movements that increase the pain. Apply cold therapy for 20 minutes a couple of times for two days.

3. When the pain has subsided, slowly try to stretch the shoulder using the uninjured arm.

4. Once shoulder movement and motion is back to normal by 75 percent in all directions, begin performing simple and not so strenuous exercises to strengthen the injured muscles.

5. Try doing specific functional activities that are similar to the activities normally performed. Initially do it without nay resistance and as the muscles get stronger, add resistance little by little as well as increase the difficulty level of the activity.

6. Apply Heat Therapy. Heat Therapy is the most popular and effective way to treat these chronic pains. It is even better when using heat therapy with Far Infrared Rays. Far Infrared Rays are known for its deep penetrating heat into the body which targets the source of pain.

Like people always say, prevention is better than cure. Although it is important to know how to treat shoulder injuries, it is also essential to form habits that will prevent it from ever occurring.

Avoid Prescription Drugs and Stick To Heat Therapy for Back Pain

Back pain is a pestering ordeal to go through and some treatments may cause even more danger than the pain itself.

With these statistics scaring the public off this type of back pain relief, how can one achieve a pain-free back without even trying pain meds?

The public is well aware of its consequences through different announcements and mediums. Even the lead character of the famous American television series House who’s a doctor struggles with his addiction to Vicodin, and his witty dementia is well displayed for its viewers to know the superficial effects of regular pain medication intake. As a caring citizen, it hurts to realize that this type of treatment is still widely administered to patients suffering from pain worldwide.

List of Harmful Effects Due To Excessive Sitting and Its Remedy

Although most people know how harmful it is to sit for long hours every day, still, sitting remains something unavoidable. Just imagine a pie chart in front of you wherein you’ll list your activities per day. Then you’ll notice that after sleeping for 8 hours and working at the office for 8 hours also, you’ll find yourself sitting again in front of the television, reading or eating. If you’ll put color in your time spent sitting, you’ll probably set colors in 14 hours of it aside from the 8 hours you spend sleeping.

Back pain. Sitting for long hours causes too much pressure on your lower back resulting to sudden pain which can last for few days up to weeks. This can be dangerous when not treated immediately. It can result to back bone damages or to some more serious health problems.

Obesity. Since sitting is a sedentary thing, you cannot expect your body to burn fat if you’re not moving a bit. To burn calories, the body must be in constant motion so if you’ll remain sitting the genes in charge of burning those fats will automatically slow down its job.

Improper posture. You might not notice your improper posture when you are too busy with your work. Flipping back and forth of your uncomfortable chair is just one way to refresh yourself and your body of that stressful work so changing your sitting positions once in a while might help stimulate good blood flow but it might not be helpful in your posture. You might find yourself slouching without noticing it.

Heart problem. This is because sitting hampers smooth blood circulation in your body. If the blood does not flow properly, it will result to leap of blood pressure and it will be tougher work for the heart plus the fact that sitting promotes cholesterol in the body.

Weaken immune system. The body needs ample amount of exercise to be healthy. The nutrients cannot smoothly flow in all parts of the body if the body is not at work. Thus resulting to weaken immune system, sickness and ailments.

Blood clots. As what we’ve stated earlier, it requires movement for the blood to flow smoothly in the body. Sitting might cause blood clots in the lower parts of the body which is dangerous when these blood clots reach the heart and lungs. These effects are not just harmful so never take this for granted.

These can be fatal based on studies. After giving you this list of effects, we’ll then give you some remedies for this.

Using heated seats or cushions can be a great help in this situation. This is recommended by health experts because cushions support the lower body from the weight of the upper body. Also the therapeutic heat stimulates smooth blood circulation that penetrates in all parts of the body. Aside from using heated seat cushion, take time to have a walk even after every hour and if possible, avoid sitting after office hours. If your house is just nearby, consider walking than riding home.
