infrared sauna

January 11th, 2010
Comments Off

Near infrared or medium infrared light is resisted by the body. These have wavelengths not in harmony with human energy. However, an infrared sauna with far infrared light has just the right waves between 4 and 14 microns that can be absorbed by the human body. Its healing energy feels like something between a nice warm shower or lying under a warm sun.

Thus, being in an infrared sauna really feels good. The healing light of the far infrared waves will help get rid of anything that are:

~Dark – depression, dark moods, funky moods, etc.
~Heavy – excess weight, fats, heavy metals, toxins, etc.

prostate health

January 4th, 2010

No specific measures are yet known to prevent the occurrence of prostate cancer in men. Doctors can only hope to prevent progression of the condition through early diagnosis and then attempting to cure the disease. Early diagnosis can be made via prostate cancer screening. This is done by routine yearly digital rectal examinations beginning at age 40 plus an annual PSA test beginning at age 50.

Based on some research, it is said that prostate health can be maintained through certain dietary measures. It has been suggested that men eat low fat diets and avoid red meats as these are thought to slow down the growth of prostate tumors in a manner yet unknown. Soybean products are also reportedly believed to inhibit the growth of prostate tumors by decreasing the mount of testosterone circulating in the blood.

They also have the ability to regulate inflammation and hematopoiesis (blood cell development). There are cytokines that turn the immunity on and there are cytokines that turn off the immune system.

symptoms of diabetes

December 8th, 2009

There are two types of diabetes – Type 1 and type 2. In both types the cells are not getting the glucose that they need. Many signs in both types of diabetes are similar. There is too much glucose in the blood and not enough in the cells of the body. There are obvious symptoms of diabetes that are easily discernible.

~Frequent trips to the bathroom: If insulin is nonexistent or ineffective, the kidneys can’t filter glucose back to the blood. They become overwhelmed and try to draw extra water out of the blood to dilute the glucose. This keeps your bladder full and it keeps you running to the bathroom.
~Unquenchable thirst: This is caused by dehydration from too much urination.
~Weight loss without trying: The body desperately looks for an energy source because the cells aren’t getting glucose. It starts to break down muscle tissue and fat for energy.
~Weakness and fatigue: When the insulin isn’t present in the cells or if the cells don’t react to it anymore, then the glucose stays outside the cells in the bloodstream. The cells become energy starved and you feel tired and run down.
