Recently, a lot of people have recently asked me why I don't

advertise that Heat 4 Health and Infrared Saunas actually help

people with Cancer?

The answer: I am just too scared to make that claim..... I never want to over promise and then under deliver. Also we are not doctors, and we only provide a service, we can never make any claims.

If it helps you- GREAT- that makes me happy as an Infrared user and business owner/operator.

Now that being said, yes I have some cancer patients that have purchased units for thier home and use it everyday and are seeing results. And yes, I have heard about Lance Armstrong curing cancer with Infrared Saunas.

The only thing that I can say, which is just my OPINION, is give it a try and do the research yourself, and Heat 4 Health will do its best to keep you informed about new studies, testimonials and research that we find.

I can not stress enough, the POWER of educating yourself and taking responsibility for your condition. So please, keep us posted on this site, about new studies, finding and your own personal terstimonials.

So here is what I have found

The following edited information is taken from a web page by Dr. L. Wilson. The complete page can be accessed at: http://www.drlwilson.com/Articles/cancer.htm

NATURAL THERAPIES 

                   Sauna therapy.  If I were to single out one method to combat cancer causing environmental causes, it is the sauna.  In particular, the infrared electric light sauna is extremely effective for reducing many cancer-causing factors.  These include removing chemical toxins, eliminating heavy metals and reducing the radiation burden in the body..)

                  Sauna therapy not only helps remove radioactive particles, but can kill cells mutated by radiation that otherwise reproduce and eventually lead to many serious illnesses.  In this sense, saunas have genetic effects that improve the overall quality of the body's DNA. This is much more effective than 'genetic therapy' that is still mainly theory. The genetics researchers often forget that nutrients turn on genes and toxins block genetic expression.

                  Infrared sauna therapy is also the most powerful method I have found for uncovering and promoting the healing of deeply buried chronic infections. One must use the sauna for 30-60 minutes once or twice a day. Cancer patients may require it three times a day for a while. The secret of the sauna is its use of a combination of mechanisms simultaneously.  These include:

 1. Heating the body.  Hyperthermia is a well-known and underused method of killing cancer cells. Cancer cells are weaker than normal cells and more susceptible to damage from heat. Coley's toxins is a simple and useful cancer therapy based on inducing a fever by injecting pyrogenic bacteria into the body. Researchers at UCLA are using malaria to induce fevers in cancer patients. Saunas are a safer, gentler and easier to control method of heating the tissues to induce a fever.  Infrared saunas heat the tissues directly up to about an inch and a half inside the body. 

2. Inhibiting the sympathetic nervous system.  Saunas are excellent for this purpose. At least two mechanisms cause this. According to Guyton's Textbook of Medical Physiology, heating the body causes the cessation of normal heat production, a sympathetic activity. Saunas also draw blood from the center to the periphery of the body, also a parasympathetic activity.   

3.  Improving circulation.  Cancer often grows in tissues with poor circulation and thus poor nutrition and oxygenation. Saunas are excellent to enhance overall circulation to bring needed nutrients, hormones, oxygen and other substances to all body tissues. 

4. Decongesting the internal organs.   Excellent health depends on the activity of the liver, kidneys and other internal organs. Sympathetic nervous system activity drives blood toward the interior of the body and causes congestion of these organs, which impairs their functioning. The sauna has an opposite effect, causing blood to move toward the surface. This decongests the internal organs and aids their functioning. 

5. Producing heat shock proteins.  Heat shock proteins are a discovery of the past 20-30 years. These interesting substances are produced naturally by the body when subjected to certain stresses, among them heat. They have the effect of renaturing proteins, which means rebuilding and repairing damaged cell structures. They are a hot topic of cancer research as they have been found to be potent immune system stimulants. Sauna therapy is a simple and safe way to cause natural production of heat shock proteins. 

6. Enhancing activity of the eliminative organs.  Saunas cleanse the skin from the inside. In most people, the skin, a major eliminative organ, is very inactive due to wearing clothing and exposure to hundreds of toxic chemicals in bathing water, in the air and in skin care products. Decongesting the internal organs also aids the liver, kidneys and bowel.  Sweating reduces the burden on the kidneys, assisting them to regenerate.  

7. Color therapy.  Color therapy is highly under-rated. Red, yellow and orange in the electric light sauna specifically enhances the lower chakras and the organs of elimination -the liver, kidneys, bowel and adrenals. Red is also beneficial for the emotional body. Color therapy can be added to any sauna and is a perfect adjunct to sauna therapy.    

8. Infrared decouples toxins from water molecules.  This is an enormous benefit of infrared radiation. This occurs best with the electric light sauna which offers a wide spectrum of near, medium and far infrared energy. 

9. Disabling or killing weakened, toxic and radioactive or mutated cells.  Heating the body is a natural mechanism for fighting infections and disabling or killing toxic or malignant cells.   

10. Enhancing oxygenation.  Saunas increase blood flow through the lungs, increase circulation to all the body tissues and infrared has antioxidant properties that enhance oxygenation and cell metabolism. 

11. Balancing the pH.  Saunas help balance both excessively acid and alkaline body chemistries. 

12. Enhancing the activity of water molecules in the body.   Infrared resonates with the frequency of water and increases the activity of water molecules in the cells. It can also reduce the specific gravity of water so that it penetrates cells better, carrying nutrients to the cells and helping to remove toxins from the cells.
