More about Infrared Sauna

Near Infrared Sauna

Unlike high temperature dry and steam heat saunas, our near infra-red light sauna stimulates the sweating process without discomfort or feelings of suffocation. Near infrared light creates a “fever” reaction in the body that has many benefits including: 1. Destabilization of cancer cells through a “hyperthermia” effect. 2. Reduction in pathogenic load by killing dangerous bacteria and viruses. 3. Excretion of chemical toxins, including heavy metals, such as cadmium, lead, zinc, nickel, and mercury. 4. Reduction in radioactive load that a patient may carry from prior radiotherapy treatments and imaging studies. 5. Enhanced pain relief and improved blood flow. 6. Stimulation of immune system. 7. As long as the patient takes precautions to be properly hydrated, there are no side effects. Near Infra-Red Sauna Therapy is available only at our Tijuana treatment center and provided to most patients 3-4 times a week as part of their Hope4Cancer treatment program. https://hope4cancer.com

Near Infrared Sauna

Focused Near Infra-red Lamps use light wavelengths to aid in detoxification, deep tissue healing, and pain/inflammation relief. These wavelengths penetrate tissues without emitting dangerous electromagnetic radiation. Near Infra-red wavelengths have been indicated to destabilize cancer cells. When used alongside Photo Dynamic Therapy, Near Infra-red Lamps can also trigger SP-Activate, potentially aiding the process of cancer cell destruction. Patients using Near Infra-red Lamp technology at Hope4Cancer have experienced the following benefits: • Enhanced blood circulation • Cellular generation • Increased white blood cell count • Temporary relief from muscular pain and spasms • Healed joint aches and stiffness • Stimulated DNA and protein synthesis in cells • Penetrating warmth and a feeling of comfort https://hope4cancer.com

Far Infrared Sauna

Sauna therapy is a thermal therapy that has been recognized throughout history as a viable means of relaxing and cleansing the body, improving overall health, and promoting a sense of well being. From Finland to India to North America, medical professionals recommend saunas as a safe and effective adjunctive therapy for detoxification. It is a practical means of stimulating the release of non-essential or toxic trace metals such as nickel, cadmium, and lead through sweat. The therapeutic rationale for using sauna therapy is that overheating the body, and hence inducing an artificial fever, stimulates metabolism, inhibits the growth of bacteria, increases the ability of all vital organs, and increases the capacity of the skin to eliminate, detoxify and cleanse via profuse sweating. Infrared saunas use radiant energy to directly penetrate the body’s tissues to a depth of over 1½ “. 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. Infrared rays are selectively absorbed by the tissues needing a boost in their output. The internal production of infrared energy that normally occurs within our tissues is associated with a variety of healing responses, and may require a boost to a maximal level to insure the fullest healing response possible in a tissue under repair. The infrared energy may exceed up to 2-3 times the sweat volume of a hot air sauna while operating at a significantly cooler air temperature range of 110o – 130o vs. 180o – 235oF for hot air saunas. The lower heat range is safer for those concerned about cardiovascular risk factors. Infrared saunas emit 1/3 of their output in the middle infrared band from 2 to 5.6 microns for deeper penetration, and the other 2/3 in the long band from 5.6 to 25 microns. The band from 2 to 25 microns is the most therapeutic according the Chinese researchers. Japanese researchers have reported that infrared radiant heat antidotes the negative effects of toxic electromagnetic sources, i.e. high tension power lines or computer display terminals. These thermal systems have been free of such toxic electromagnetic fields and are not dangerous. The major benefits of Infrared sauna therapy include: Release of accumulated toxins such as pesticides, PCBs, drug residues, acidic wastes and non-essential trace metals; Improvement in symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis; Improves skin tone and elasticity, softens scars / Essential for beautiful, youthful, glowing skin; Increased oxygenation of the tissues and cells; Greatly speeds any anti-cellulite program; Increased circulation, oxygen and nutrient delivery within the body; Improved cardiovascular function. https://www.cancercenterforhealing.com
