Using Far Infrared For Back Pain Relief
A question was asked at Quora…”I work on a computer all day. My back/neck always hurt.
What action should I take?”
Well, besides the obvious answer that would sound a lot like your mother…’if it hurts, then don’t do it!”
What’s most helpful is to first to realize there is not a ‘good’ sitting position at a desk for long periods that is ergonomically correct. By better understanding this, we can use many options to help off-set back and neck pain from sitting for hours at a time.
For many folks, we have to sit for our job -
Now what can we do to relieve the pain?
Exercise is the top answer for just about anything that ails you, but so is Far Infrared Radiant Heat and you don’t have to worry about doing it wrong!
Yoga, and strength training are very good strategies; however, doing these correctly, with ergonomic precision, is the difference between these protocols helping you or these actually adding to the back problem!
Doing any type of strength or stretching movement must be done correctly or you will increase chances of further injury.
The video above is a quick demonstration of just how simple using our Far Infrared heating pad on your office chair is while you work. It certainly helps my back feel far less stiff and sore after sitting at my computer every day for hours.
Far infrared is the natural radiant heat wave used for helping with all types of pain relief. Simply stated, it is the radiant quality of this healing light frequency that helps stimulates circulation deep in our cells (much the same way exercise does).
We have done a lot of research on the science behind using far infrared radiant heat as a tool for improving our immune system, increasing metabolism, and improving circulation.
Visit our main page on far infrared to learn more about the health benefits of far infrared.
Our mission with the Healing Grapevine will always be to offer a deeper understanding to the root causes of dis-ease. We believe with this knowledge, anyone can employ the solutions and recover their health and vitality.
May the next successful recovery story be yours.

The Wrong Question: Do Saunas Help You Lose Weight?
A recently asked Quora Question wants to know: Do Saunas Help You Lose Weight?
Here is my complete answer:
In short, most weight loss during a sauna session is water weight and in the long run does not provide a quality measure for losing weight.
The real question to ask is, “Will a far infrared sauna facilitate healthy weight loss over time?”
The answer is YES, using a far infrared sauna increases the release of toxins from your stored fat tissues. This will result in losing weight as you get more healthy.
Please listen to the complete audio explanation below:

ShareMPS Rainbow Far Infrared, New Design And Half The Price!
Great news and hot off the presses, MPS Global has created a brand new design for their popular far infrared Rainbow unit.
The news is so fresh, and we finally have a photo. Basically the design is now like a table top panel that you can sit or lie under…we were mistaken in our earlier release when we said the legs would adjust…the legs are a stationary unit that will stand about 15 inches in height.
It is no longer a dome shape, which is where the added cost was, and it is larger and more powerful than the older model.
You can use it as a lap table so while you are working on your lap top, or read a book, you can also be saturated with the health benefits of far infrared therapy.
This new design offers many more positions to target any area needed and can create a sauna like environment; placing close to your body and using a blanket to wrap yourself in for the session.
Please visit our Far Infrared Rainbow page and see the new price and order NOW.
They are ready to start shipping on Monday Oct 31!
This ought to give those nasty pathogens, toxins, and foreign invaders a good scare for Halloween!
Here’s to an early Trick or Treat and Happy All-Hallows-Even (Evening)!

ShareHow Do You Spell Stress Relief? FIR, Far Infrared Radiant Heat
For most of us, living in the 21st century means living in constant stress.
Instead of the occasional, acute demands of our ancestors (like hunting or harvesting) followed by rest; we are constantly over-worked, under-nourished, exposed to environmental toxins, and worrying about an infinite list of daily occurrences and financial concerns.
All of this puts great deal of stress on the adrenal glands that govern the sophisticated system of secreting chemical hormones that keep our body functioning properly.
The list of daily challenges that leads to adrenal fatigue is endless: lack of sleep, a demanding boss, divorce, the threat of losing your job, financial pressures, yo-yo dieting, relationship turmoil, death or illness of a loved one, skipping meals, relying on stimulants like caffeine, digestive problems, over-exercise, illness or infection, unresolved personal issues from our past or present and more.
This causes the adrenal glands to be on constant high alert, which in turn stresses our entire system and can lead to all kinds of illnesses.
Many conventional medical practitioners will prescribe a drug to supposedly deal with a stressful lifestyle; however, these drugs are chemicals and over time they will actually contribute to the downward trend of our health and vitality.
Far infrared radiant heat can help therapeutically release many of harmful effects that are triggered from these stresses.
Pure far infrared therapy saturates our cells with the life force of nature which is necessary for life.
MPS Global is the only company that has the patented Active Carbon Fibers™ heating panels that can produce and keep constant, this correct wavelength of energy. Human beings benefit most from far-infrared radiation in the range of 4 to 16 microns.
This is the most beneficial and desirable range because our bodies, at 98 degrees Fahrenheit, emit far-infrared radiation (heat).
You want the heat radiation from your far infrared sauna or other heat theapies to match the far-infrared radiation that your body gives off to stimulate and activate the healing properties inherent in a healthy body.
Now this might sound somewhat technical, but you need to understand some basic physics about saunas to make an intelligent decision so you can purchase the finest one for your ultimate experience.
Click on MPS Global Far Infrared to read the science and learn more about this much safer and healthier strategy for combating the daily flood of toxins, pollution, poor air quality, and stress created health concerns like high blood pressure and chronic fatigue.
We hope the next successful recovery story is yours.

Far Infrared Sauna Special
One of our readers has asked us to post a notice about taking over her lease on the 2-3 person far infrared sauna from MPS Global.
She lives in the San Francisco Bay area and can not re-pack and ship it, so this means if you are interested, you must be willing to go to her and pick it up. The home sauna will fit in a regular size pick up truck. She lives in Martinez, CA.
If you are interested, then please contact us here, and we will give you her direct contact info to follow up on the details.
We do not have a warranty on this purchase and you will need to take that up with her and the leasing company who financed the original purchase.
Because of the economy, she is forced to downsize and this is the reason for the sale.
If you are in this area and interested, please let us know and we will connect you.
Thanks and have a fantastic day,

Far Infrared Sauna Benefits For Stress, Chronic Fatigue, and Congestive Heart Failure
Here are 5 articles from highly reputable sources, not manufacturers or advertisers of Far Infrared Saunas, with clinical research listing the benefits of using Far Infrared saunas as treatment for Stress, Chronic Fatigue, and Congestive Heart Failure.
First article on Congestive Heart Failure, researched by the Departments of Cardiovascular, Respiratory and Metabolic Medicine, Kagoshima University
Excerpt:
The sauna-treated group underwent a 2-week program of a daily 60 degrees C far infrared-ray dry sauna for 15 min, followed by 30 min bed rest with blankets, for 5 days per week.
CONCLUSION: Repeated sauna treatment improves ventricular arrhythmias in patients with CHF (Congestive heart failure).(1)
Second article from Web MD from April 2008, from a Japanese study:
Excerpt:
In a study of 129 people with heart failure, the treatment, called Waon therapy, cut the risk of hospitalization or dying of heart disease by more than half.
Under medical supervision, the patient lies on a bench in a 140 degree Fahrenheit, infrared dry sauna for 15 minutes. Infrared saunas use a special heater that generates infrared radiation similar to that produced by the sun.
Over the next five years, 31.3% of those given Waon therapy had to be rehospitalized for heart failure or died of heart disease vs. 68.7% in the non-Waon therapy group.(2)
Third article on Oxidative Stress from the National Institute of Health:
Repeated sauna therapy reduces urinary 8-epi-prostaglandin F(2alpha).
Jpn Heart J. 2004 Mar;45(2):297-303.
Excerpt from Abstract:
These results suggest that repeated sauna therapy may protect against oxidative stress, which leads to the prevention of atherosclerosis.(3)
Fourth article on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, CFS:
Excerpt:
RESULTS: Symptoms such as fatigue, pain, sleep disturbance, and low-grade fever were dramatically improved after 15 to 25 sessions of thermal therapy. Although PSL (prednisolone) administration was discontinued, the subjects showed no relapse or exacerbation of symptoms during the first year after discharge. The patients became socially rehabilitated 6 months after discharge.
Fifth article, a review on Far Infrared Saunas from the official journal of “The College of Family Physicians of Canada”:
Excerpt:
As infrared heat penetrates more deeply than warmed air, users develop a more vigorous sweat at a lower temperature than they would in traditional saunas. The cardiovascular demand imparted by thermoregulatory homeostasis (sweating, vasodilation, decreased afterload, increased heart rate, increased cardiac output) is similar to that achieved by walking at a moderate pace.
As such, FIRs might be of particular benefit to those who are sedentary due to various medical conditions, such as osteoarthritis or cardiovascular or respiratory problems.(5)
With research coming out like this from acorss the globe, it is worth investing in a product that is completely non toxic, safe, and delivers a boost of what mother nature used to create us in the first place.
However it’s important to understand that not all far infrared heaters are the same.
The use of metal wiring and/or ceramic heaters inside the far infrared sauna potentially destroys the harmonic frequency of the wavelength that is most optimum for human life and vital health.
Refer to the diagram above that illustrates the exact band width frequency of the human body emitting far infrared.
We see that it is a small range on the full spectrum scale that is necessary for stimulating life, hence improving the immune system and correcting cellular dysfunctions and cell death.

ShareFar Infrared For Your Pet’s Health Issues
Over the last 2 years we have had amazing results reported from folks using their MPS far infrared units on their pets.
Most commonly used is the far infrared heating pad because it makes targeting the animal easy to do. Whether it is a dog or a cat, they instinctively come to the far infrared pad, especially when they don’t feel well.
The first story we ever received was about a family cat who was suffering from the skin disease caused by parasitic mites called Mange. The pet owner was using the heating pad for their own recovery from a hyper toxic skin condition, aka Morgellons.
Anytime they would get off the pad, the cat would come and lie on it.
In just a few weeks, the cat’s owner noticed the Mange, which had been a persistent problem for a very long time, was gone!
Another report came from our suggestion when helping a lady recover from Morgellons. She and her dog had been battling the classic Morgellons symptoms for months and her dog was chewing on itself to the point of bleeding.
She was using many of the suggestions in our protocol, but not the far infrared for her dog, and everything was improving until they went away for a long weekend and became re-exposed.
This time, we suggested she get her dog some far infrared therapy to help stimulate circulation and healing to recover from the skin problems.
She was able to encourage her pooch to go sit on the floor of the far infrared sauna for about 10 minutes per session. It worked and the dog’s skin began to clear and the coat began to grow back.
All the benefits that we gain by using Far Infrared Heat to stimulate our cells to flush toxins, increase circulation and communication are also great benefits to offer our family companions.
