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. Abusing on pain medication such as Vicodin, OxyContin, Morphine and Methadone has been a struggle for physicians, patients and drug regulators alike, and the number of emergency room visits related to pain meds overdose doubled over the past 2 years. 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. To make matters worse, the deaths related to pain medicine overdose reach up to 13 million each year in America, and in every minute, 25,000 teenagers try to get high from ingesting these drugs for recreational purposes.

There is one form of remedy that can diminish this problem: the use of heat therapy. Heat therapy is administered through the use of therapy wraps, and it just recently got better with the innovation of Far Infrared Ray technology that makes the heat reach deep into the damaged back muscles and bones, unlike pain medications that perform internal physiological actions, such as alter the mood and affect the mental and emotional stability of the patient. Heat therapy is a great way to administer back pain relief at home, or anywhere without invasive surgeries and most importantly, without pharmaceutical aid.

Heat therapy is much efficient and definitely a safer choice compared to pain relief drugs. A 30-minute session will show significant results without being moody and prone to addiction. Before choosing any back pain relief product, consult your physician about it.

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.

There are very minimal body movements in our daily routine. So it should not be a surprise if we experience such dangerous effects due to excessive sitting. Here are just some of those harmful effects:

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.

4 Tips on what to look for in Heated Gloves

In the age of the internet, finding stuff is as easy as click of a button. Looking for the latest gadgets or techie toys, a simple search on google will prove sufficient. How about a new pair of shoes? A number of websites will help you on making a purchase. But then, the problem with this scenario is how to move pass the clutter to find value for your buck.

Case in point, one of the best selling items this winter season is the heated gloves. Designed to keep your lovely hands warm anytime you wish it, there are a lot of these gloves floating around internet. That’s why finding a good pair will be a bit of a challenge. Here are some tips to help you find the perfect pair for you.

Glove Matrix is Key. A heated glove is still like any other glove that’s why the main concern will always be comfort and durability. Not all of these gloves will be comfortable and durable at the same time. It will depend on the materials used for the glove’s construction. Durable nylon and genuine leather are your best bet for a comfy yet sturdy feel.

Learn about the heating system. Heated gloves become ordinary gloves without their heating system. Look for ones which use micro-alloy as their primary heating element. Not only are they durable, they are also barely, if even remotely, noticeable. A good pair will have their heating elements placed within the perimeter of the hand so that heat is properly disbursed.

Check the Battery. As crucial as the heating system, heated gloves need their batteries. Of course, how else would the gloves work without the batteries? Be sure that you find a pair of heated gloves with a good power source. Lithium-ion battery cells often do the job and can last for long periods of time.

Does it have a Micro-climate Controller? Now, this is a bit of an advanced feature and not all heated gloves will have this. But those which have are really worth it. Think about it this way, you wouldn’t want to have super hot hands when the weather is not that cold. Sometimes, you just need a bit of warmth. Having a simple micro-climate controller will be the answer to that problem.

Capturing the Perfect Shot

When I was just 6 years old, if other toddlers were playing their toy guns and robots, what I do is to have a click on my camera. My parents noticed that I love it more than a usual kid’s stuff and so as Christmas gift, they bought me one. After several years, now I have reached my goal, becoming a wildlife photographer. But I won’t stop on that, I’m still on my way being a world-renown one. There’s just one problem I’m considering whenever I plan for a shoot. The only thing that hinders me in my years of experience is the cold weather whenever I go to various freezing places.

Just a year ago, we had an opportunity to go to Norway to shoot for some polar bears. I brought a lot of my thick jackets during the shoot while hiding in some icy, freezing to death places so that I won’t disturb them. I saw them from a distance and when I was about to take my perfect shot. Alas! I can’t move my arms! It was numb and I just didn’t get the perfect shot I wanted. I really regret that day. I had the perfect opportunity yet it just slipped away. I went home really disappointed.

Until in one forum with my fellow photographers, I told my friend about what had happened. My friend suggested me about heated jackets and so I checked for one online. I saw a site with heated gears and clothing. It was called Plusheat.com and it was the first time I saw that website. They have heated jackets, vests and even insoles. And so I ordered and how I love it when I tried it! I was amazed so as to say.

Before I had this heated jacket, I was so limited, always in a nut-shell. This heated jacket is the perfect solution for my shaking problem. Now, I can go anywhere, anytime I want! In fact, I was planning to go back to Norway and get back to those polar bears. I’m confident now that I can have the perfect shot I missed back then a year ago.

What in the World is a Huggie Buddy

We’ve all had these nights. It’s raining outside and there’s nothing left to do but pop a bag of microwaveable cheese popcorn and begin an all night DVD marathon. So you grab your blanket and head to your couch, forcing yourself to be as comfy as possible. Alas, your ratty old blanket will not suffice. And with your toes sticking out, you are left shivering instead of enjoying the night.

We’ve all had these nights. That’s why when I saw the next generation heated blanket, I quickly bought one and decided to test drive it for myself. Seeking to make all those cold nights warmer and more comfortable, this heated blanket was one unique find.

Imagine an electric blanket. Now add some sleeves. And what you get is the Huggie Buddy. Made from very comfortable fleece material, the huggie buddy primarily acts like a typical blanket which collects residual body heat and prevents it from escaping. However, with just a click of a button, the huggie buddy can also generate its own heat to soothe your cold days and nights.

Because of the hair thin, micro alloy heating elements embedded inside the huggie buddy, heat can be easily generated anytime. Now that’s the electric blanket aspect of the huggie buddy. What sets it apart from other electric blankets out in the market, though, are the sleeves which keep the hands free to wander around, picking up popcorn, reading a book, fiddling your keyboard or holding the hand of your sweetheart.

So anytime you need to use your hands, you no longer have to remove your blanket. With the huggie buddy, all you have to do is reach for it. And there you go.

The handy pocket in front, which is also where the heating elements are located, is a very nice touch. If your hands ever feel a bit cold, just pop them inside the pocket and they’ll be warm in no time. Another nice touch is the 4-setting temperature controller which allows users the ability to customize the warmth according to their heating needs. And because it runs on a very voltage, using it all the time isn’t that much of a bother.

Use Your Cushion Even while Resting

Watching television, video game playing, reading newspaper while having a cup of coffee and some inactive stuff are things we usually enjoy during our leisure time. Obviously, who would like to go very active on a weekend after a 5-day continuous stressful work? Everyone would love taking their bodies to rest on a Saturday morning and of course, there’s nothing wrong with that. All of us need to rest, but who might have thought that even resting can bring harm to our body? Oftentimes, we see vigorous activities are just the ones that can trigger danger to our body without thinking that we are most frequently inactive. Yet why do we still feel such body pains when we are just sitting the whole day? Research shows that sitting all day long brings a lot of health problems to our body. We gain weight, we slouch and we even suffer from back ache. The sudden pain from your lower back, tailbone and butt, and the numbness of your thigh are just some of the warning signs telling you that you have already been sedentary for a long time. These pains can get worse and cause some injuries in your back if not prevented and what’s even more dangerous is that your spinal column can be affected. Being sedentary makes you lose your proper posture thus, you slouch. And another problem is that being still hinders the smooth flow of circulation of the oxygen in your body which is as we all know has a bad effect in our body. Now, how are you going to prevent this if it is inevitable to sit the whole day? One thing would be to use a cushion over your seat. Its softness will give you the comfort of being on a couch. Aside from the comfort, a cushion has health benefits as well. A cushion will support your lower back from the weight of your upper body that causes the pain on your lower back, tailbone and butt. Since it supports your back, it also straightens your posture you are while sitting.

A cushion is really helpful in our daily lives even while we are resting. It gives us the comfort plus the protection against back injuries. So if you are required to sit for a couple of hours, even if you are just resting, a cushion is must-have. Since it is inexpensive, you can afford to have one. Why not, if it is for your own sake? Have your cushion even on your leisure time. You are resting as a reward for your tired body but even in your rest day, you have to watch over your body. Rest might be essential but do not let that rest cause injuries inside the body we are in. Have your cushion with you; protect yourself while enjoying a comfortable rest.

Baker’s Hands needs some comfort too

I love how my mom bakes delicious bread. You can even smell the bread around the whole block. We own a bake shop just a few blocks away from our house. It’s really satisfying. My mom used to be the chief baker but when she experienced sudden shots of pain in her hands every time it’s cold, my dad switched over. I know how my mom loves when she is kneading the dough and bake it into delicious, appetizing bread. And being not able to do it is somehow frustrating for her.  

So I looked for a way to help her. I searched for some ways and have found out that there are some heated gloves that provide therapeutic healing to those suffering from arthritis. There are also some nutritious food that has to be taken and medications. I bought 2 pairs of those gloves: 1 for mom and the other for dad. I’m hopeful it will help. Yes, I know they cannot wear it while baking but they can use it most of the time. Even just to pamper their worn-out hands. They use it. Mom wears it every day and she told me how relieving it is when she’s wearing those.  Dad also gave a compliment regarding those gloves. They appreciated it. After several days, mom said that she thinks she can bake again. And even if I tried to stop her, I cannot do anything. She said she wants to and that she’s getting worse if she’s not doing anything. So what am I supposed to do but to just watch her?  She started baking again at home as I watch her. At first, she said it still hurts but as time pass by she’s getting better and better. She also takes her medication properly and eats nutritious food which the doctor advised. She also uses her heated gloves the whole day. She’s getting better every day although sometimes she still complains. It’s really relieving when I see her baking. She looks really happy.
