Revitalize Your Dormant Hair Follicles With The HairMax

When Benjamin Franklin said, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”, he could well have been looking into a mirror, gazing at his rapidly receding hairline. He could have been, but probably wasn’t, for back then the only method of altering hair loss was to wear one of those powdered wigs our founding fathers were so fond of.

Today, Ben’s statement is the axiom for hair loss, for now there are tools and treatments for minimizing the affliction. However, success is contingent on both the reason for hair loss and the health of the hair follicles.

Hair Biology

The human may be the only mammal whose body sheds between 50 to 100 hairs on a daily basis. Other animals generally molt a massive amount of hair in the spring when winter coats are no longer required or desired.

We are born with all the hair follicles we will ever have, about five million in total. Around 100,000 of those reside on top of our heads. The others cover the rest of our body. Each follicle produces either a terminal or vellus hair. Terminal hairs are the longer, pigmented hairs located on the head and armpits. With men terminal hairs also cover their face and chest. In contrast the vellus hair is void of color and is commonly referred to as “peach fuzz”.

The follicle is a tunnel-like hole in the skin which at its base houses the living portion of the hair, the papilla. Tiny blood vessels feed this living segment of the hair.

There are three phases of a hair’s life. The growing period, Anagen, is also the longest. Typically a head hair will grow between two to six years before it falls out. During the Catagen phase the hair goes into the transition from growth to elimination. While this stage progresses hair development halts. Within three weeks the hair goes into its final stage, Telogen. The final outcome of this phase is the removal of the hair. This cycle continually repeats itself throughout a person’s life.

Over time the follicles may begin to shrink resulting in the malfunctioning of the hair growth process. Most often the follicles themselves do not die; instead a hair similar to the vellus hair begins to be produced.

Reasons For Hair Loss

Several things commonly thought to cause hair loss have little to do with the phenomena. You can put aside the thought that dirty follicles or bad circulation cause hair loss. And go ahead and wear all the hats you want for that’s not going to contribute either. As far as stress goes, you would have to be under a life threatening strain before excessive hair loss would be noticed.

Leaving these things aside there are numerous causes thought to contribute to the affliction. A few of these include drugs, lack of zinc or iron, heavy metal poisoning, toxins such as pesticides and herbicides, radiation, fungal infection, hair dyes, thyroid problems and most commonly a hormone excess of testosterone.

The most common form of hair loss is called Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA). It is considered to be caused by an overabundance of the hormone testosterone. As boys grow into men their testosterone levels increase. An enzyme within the hair’s dermal papilla called 5-alpha reductase converts the testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT then combines with the regulators of hair growth, androgen. When too much DHT is present the imbalance to the androgen receptors causes the hair follicle to shorten its growing cycle. This triggers the follicle to grow a weaker, wispier hair. In time the follicle will shrink making it unable to grow any hair.

This is the classic view of what causes most hair loss. However, German physicians have a new look on this old problem. They believe the body actually views the hair follicle like it would a cancer cell, growing abnormally quick and too dangerous for the body to maintain. So the body calls out its lymphatic warriors to attack what has been perceived to be foreign invaders. According to this theory hair loss is little more than an auto-immune disease. As the body attacks the hair follicles they sustain so much injury that the hair falls out. Boosting the immune system, and especially the thymus gland, is the key to fending off this form of hair loss.

Various Treatments, Various Successes

Without a doubt the most successful method of treating hair loss is having hair transplants. Over a period of a few months to years several surgical treatments are performed. Essentially patches of scalp with healthy hair follicles are removed then replanted in balding areas. This procedure can cost up to $25,000 to complete.

For many, hair transplants are economically unrealistic. So a whole group of drugs have been developed to help ward off the loss of hair. Both Super Oxide Dismutuse and anti-inflammatory medications help to stop the auto-immune disease response against the hair follicles.

The most common drugs used for hair loss are the Finasterides and Minoxidils. Both have to be continued in order to maintain improvement. With a Finasteride the 5-alpha reductase is inhibited which brings DHT levels to a normal range. Taken orally this drug can help the hair follicles regain their health.

Minoxidils are applied topically to the balding area of the scalp. They have been successful in stopping hair loss, yet less so in regrowing hair. Over time Minoxidil becomes less and less effective.

The Promise of Photobiostimulation

The promise of what? Photobiostimulation is a very long word that simply means low-level laser therapy (LLLT). Photobiostimulation works at the cellular level. What this means for hair loss is that LLLT quite literally goes to the root of the problem to stimulate hair growth.

The HairMax LaserComb is a low-level laser therapy device. In as little as 12 weeks a person suffering from hair loss can see their condition improve. When a person first begins to use the HairMax it often hastens the Telogen stage of hair growth. So even though the hair may fall out, shortly after initiating HairMax’s use, there is no reason to be alarmed by this for it is a good sign which indicates the hair is beginning a new and stronger growth cycle.

One single specific electromagnetic wavelength of red is used in the HairMax. The light is concentrated in such a way it penetrates the scalp without heat or other side effects. When the light passes into the cell the cytochrome c oxidase, which is the photoacceptor within the mitochondria, starts a chemical process which converts the laser light into adenosin triphosphate (ATP). ATP carries energy to areas within the cell that need it. The cell’s metabolic activity increases which promotes a healthier hair follicle.

It has been determined that the LLLT within the HairMax affects the scalp in two specific ways. First, it energizes the cell. Second, the circulatory system of the body, blood and lymph flows more freely within the treated area. This is helpful in that blockages within the dermal papilla are removed while additional blood to the area promotes proper hair regeneration.

These two affects of the HairMax in turn create a third effect of bringing a vibrational harmony to the scalp’s cells. The HairMax not only helps the head regrow hair, but also helps to prevent hair loss from ever getting a start. And in the case of hair loss, an ounce of prevention is truly worth a pound of cure.

The Amazing Healing Properties Of Color Therapy

The skin feels color. Yes you read that right, the skin can learn to tell the difference between colors. Kurt Goldstein, in his 1930s book The Organism, concluded that various colors affect the skin differently. Through his research he showed that blind people can learn to differentiate color by the way the hue makes the skin feel.

It is not known why this happens, but then it is also not known why 1 in a 1000 people can hear colors or see music. And yet it is a common phenomena called synaesthesia.

History of Color Therapy

Color therapy has been around for at least four thousand years. Several ancient societies, like the Chinese, Indian and Egyptian, used colors for healing. The Egyptians even built sacred buildings where they practiced the art of color therapy. Written case studies and cures have been found in both the Chinese and Egyptian cultures.

In more recent history Isaac Newton used a prism to split sunlight into its various colors. Then to complete his experiment, he passed the colored lights back through another prism which converted them into white light. With this he proved white light contains every color of the visual spectrum. In essence he proved that sunlight is just a rainbow of color all rolled up into one energy ray.

What is Color?

Colors are created when light either reflects, absorbs, transmits or refracts the electromagnetic spectrum located between .4 and .76 micrometers in wavelength. In order to get visible color light waves must interact with matter. This is why space appears to be void of color.

The energy portion of a color wave pattern is called a photon which is the component that is absorbed by the body’s cells, resulting in the activation of the wavelength’s therapeutic effect.

The Body and Color Energy

Every cell not only has the ability to assimilate colors but also emits them. Kirlian photography has been used to show the light energy around living tissues. A photo series of a picked leaf was made to document the light force disappearing as the leaf shrivelled up. In another experiment Kirlian photography showed a phantom light around a portion of a leaf that had been recently cut off and removed.

Without a doubt the eyes are the body’s most noticeable receptacle of color. In particular the cones within the eye perceive color, specifically red, green and blue. Each cone can see only one color. All other colors require two or more cones to create the pigment passed along the optic nerve to the brain.

How Color Effects a Healing

It has been proven that wounds suffered in zero gravity (space) will not heal until the person is back on earth. Likewise a wound created where gravity is crushingly strong (submarine) also resists healing. It is a mystery as to why proper gravity is required for healing to occur. Both NASA and the USS Salt Lake City proved that LED light therapy will help these gravity-challenged wounds to heal.

NASA found LED lights to be useful in the treatment of burns, muscle and bone deterioration, bone fractures, cuts and other wounds, radiation damage, and regeneration of skin grafts.

On the submarine USS Salt Lake City, wounds that were at best healing slowly were reported to heal 50% faster when LED lights were administered.

LED lights stimulate the mitochondrion to perform the job it is designed to do, which is to create the energy the cell needs to maintain and repair itself.

Tools for the Use of Color Therapy

One of the most strongly documented uses of color is to ward off Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), commonly referred to as the “winter blues”. The incandescent light bulb does not have all the colors of the spectrum so in the winter, when we are indoors most of the time, we are robbed of the sun’s wealth of colors. The blue lux bulb is one of the light sources used, along with the full spectrum bulb, to help rid a person of SAD by fulfilling the need of those colors.

LED lights are the main method of healing with color. The Pain-X-2000 uses Polychromatic Infrared Therapy to relieve various pains. The five colors used in the Pain-X-2000 tools are infrared, red, green, orange and yellow. Some tools have the option to add the blue light. These colors have been reported to affect the body in the following ways:

• Infrared - Promotes blood circulation which quickens healing;
• Red - Stimulates and renews energy;
• Green - Regulates the pituitary gland, affects the gastric system and has a calming effect on the nervous system;
• Orange - Calms asthma and allergies;
• Yellow - Purifies blood and helps digestion;
• Blue - Reduces blood pressure, calms both breathing and heart rate.

For years the Deep Penetrating Light therapy system was used to clear up skin blemishes of all kinds. Recently the FDA cleared the device for the use of alleviating muscle spasms, arthritic pain, joint stiffness and to temporarily increase blood circulation.

The best thing about all the color light therapy units Promolife handles is that they can help a person overcome an injury. They are all non-invasive and drug free treatments.

Lyme Disease: Like Beating Back Supernatural Beasts

Part 2 of 2 | Read Part 1 of Series

The spirochetes that cause Lyme Disease are truly monsters. Like a Boogeyman they hide from detection by boring into body tissues such as bone, tendons, joints, nerves and, most preferably, the brain. This is how the spirochetes are able to avoid being confronted by either the body’s immune system or any antibiotics, which use the circulatory system as their avenue for attack. In essence the spirochetes hide under the bed until all is clear, then they dart out of their cubby holes and start creating the havoc for which they are infamous. This is why Lyme Disease can go into remission only to later resurface with a vengeance. And the fiendishness doesn’t stop there, for not only do they hide, they also shape shift like a werewolf.

Whenever a spirochete comes under attack by antibiotics or other means, it mutates like the human into a werewolf. The spirochete can form itself into two different figures, one called a Cell-Wall-Deficient, and a second more common shape called Cyst. All Borrelia Burgdorferi models have different traits and weaknesses.

The likeness of the spirochete to the werewolf doesn’t stop with its ability to transform. Spirochetes also have a distinct wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing quality. Their corkscrew shape makes them perfect for drilling. One of the entities they like to rupture is the immune system’s B-cell. Once the cell is breached the spirochete goes inside the B-cell and wears the shell as camouflage to dupe other immune cells into thinking it’s just one of the gang.

The Hit-and-Miss of Controlling Spirochetes

A variety of methods have been applied to the destruction of the Borrelia Burgdorferi spirochete. The success rate is as varied as the techniques used.

In the northeast, where Lyme Disease is rampant, communities have culled their deer population to 10 per square mile. This practice has worked to lower the number of ticks in the area, which has helped to decrease the reported number of Lyme Disease cases.

Other methods of dealing with Lyme Disease have been detoxification, homeopathy, vitamins, acupuncture, hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatment, antibiotics, the Marshall Protocol, therapeutic resonant frequency treatments and ozone.

Detoxification and Vitamins

Both of these are geared around the concept that if the spirochete is to be eradicated the immune system is going to have to play a major part in the process. In order to fulfill its part the body will have to become as toxin free as possible. So even though neither detoxification or vitamins can destroy the disease they do play a supporting role in helping the body to remove the bacteria causing the disease.

Homeopathy and Acupuncture

Both of these methods of treatment are individualistic in their success rate. With Homeopathy, Ledum is given to strengthen the brain’s ability to function properly. In general, the effectiveness of the treatment should begin to show within three days.

Acupuncture is most often used to help relieve some of the disease’s symptoms, like pain and fatigue.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber Treatments (HBOC) and Ozone

Spirochetes hate high-oxygen conditions. The HBOC’s pressure forces oxygen into the tissues of the body where breathing does not readily reach. This doesn’t necessarily kill the spirochete but will slow its growth.

Ozone is one of the best methods for fighting bacteria, viruses and the whole host of germs. To learn about how ozone can help conquer Lyme Disease visit the following websites http://www.lymebook.com, http://www.prohealth.com and http://www.healingcancernaturally.com.

Antibiotics

Drugs are the medical profession’s preferred method of attacking the spirochete. When the spirochete is new to the body, before it begins to drill into tissues, it is very vulnerable to destruction through antibiotics. Antibiotics are delivered through the blood system, and the spirochete, being a drilling rather than a swimming creature, has difficulty defending itself against them. Antibiotics will trigger the spirochete to perform its transformation into its other selves, but if treated early enough the bacteria may just die out.

Antibiotics have additional hazards if used for long periods of time, or if used in the later developments of Lyme Disease. Antibiotics kill the body’s good bacteria as well as the bad. This leaves the immune system weakened. So if any spirochete hid itself in areas of the body not reachable by antibiotics, when it reappears, the body will be in a weaker state to fight the bacteria. This can turn into a vicious circle of bringing the body to even weaker states of being with each round of antibiotics. Once established, Lyme Disease often requires at least a year of treatment before the spirochete can be wiped out.

The Marshall Protocol

The Marshall Protocol is a systematic treatment plan which uses drugs and vitamins to strengthen the immune system so that the bacteria within a cell can be demolished. The protocol requires between one to three years to succeed. The Marshall Protocol has been most successful against the Cell-Wall-Deficient form of spirochete.

Therapeutic Resonant Frequency Treatments

This treatment has shown the most promise for destroying the spirochete and Cyst forms of the bacteria. Royal Rife, Nikola Tesla and many other scientists developed the techniques used today in Resonant Frequency Therapies (RFT). The application of RFT is accomplished by sending specific audio and radio frequencies through the body. Each frequency resonates at the same cycle as a particular microorganism. The matching of the right frequency to a specific microorganism causes the organism to wildly oscillate out-of-phase which results in the chemical cohesions between the organism’s molecules to break apart, which destroys the targeted entity.

In 2007 Charlene Boehm secured a patent for calculating the frequency of any known microorganism. The formula is quite mathematical. In simplistic terms the formula computes the resonant frequency by establishing the organism’s length of DNA and medium where it dwells.

For instance, Borrelia Burgdorferi, Lyme Disease-causing bacteria, has 910,724 base pairs of DNA. The number of pairs is multiplied by the space between each pair to get the total length of the bacteria/genome. The total length also equates to the genome’s wavelength. To find the frequency one must know the velocity, or medium, of electromagnetic radiation the genome exists in like air, water, or living tissue. The velocity is then divided by the wavelength. When the numbers are crunched for the Borrelia Burgdorferi they come up with a resonant frequency of 636.12 Hz which is one of the main frequencies used to destroy the spirochete. Of course this formula is A LOT more complicated with methods of using harmonics and octaves of frequencies to accomplish an even greater level of destruction for the genome.

Promolife carries the Wellness Pro Resonant Frequency device which is FDA cleared. The Wellness Pro takes the calculating and guess work out of which frequency to use for a particular disease. Programs of frequencies have been grouped together to exact a greater level of success. With the Wellness Pro users can select their own frequency. It is no more difficult to use than a TV remote control. And the Wellness Pro is currently the only RFT unit insurance companies will cover.

What to Look for in a Lyme Disease Treatment

When contemplating which therapy to use for Lyme Disease it is wise to remember the following things: the treatment must be able to get into the body’s inner tissues; it must be non-toxic because in all likelihood it will continue for a minimum of a year; it must be able to adjust to the spirochete as it changes forms; and finally it must be able to minimize the “healing crisis” that will occur. For as one rids oneself of the bacteria the feeling of illness will often intensify until the body repairs the damage done. It’s a bit like an operation. Before going under a surgeon’s knife one usually doesn’t feel good, but when the person wakes up he or she will most certainly feel worse until the wounds have healed.

Lyme Disease: Something To Get Ticked About

Part 1 of 2 | Read Part 2 of Series

If you thought Lyme disease was transmitted by ticks, you’d be partially right. If you thought Lyme disease could not be transmitted between humans, you’d be partially right. And, if you thought antibiotics could cure Lyme disease, again you’d be partially right.

Because Lyme disease is a recently discovered ailment, knowledge about the illness has only been partially developed. In fact, it is often overlooked by medical professionals because there are over 100 different symptoms depending on the stage of the disease.

America’s #1 Bug Enemy

On the world stage mosquitoes cause more disease in people than any other creature of the insect persuasion. However, in the United States the tick effects the most damage to human health. This is for the most part due to the discovery of Lyme disease in Old Lyme, Connecticut during a juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis outbreak. The Center for Disease Control thought the epidemic unnatural so they investigated the circumstances and discovered Lyme disease as the cause.

Even though Lyme disease was discovered in 1975 it only became a reportable disease in 1991. Since that date the number of cases reported yearly has doubled. Over 20,000 new cases are now being reported annually. There is much speculation this number does not accurately reflect the actual number of people each year acquiring the disease.

What Causes Lyme Disease?

For the most part ticks, specifically deer ticks, but how do they get the bacteria? It all happens when a tick larvae latches onto its favorite meal, the white-foot mouse. The mouse infects the tick with a spirochette called Borrelia Burgdorferi, which is a corkscrew shaped organism. This feed finishes out the second stage of the tick’s life.

From larvae they molt into the 8-legged creatures we recognize as ticks. Still, they are hardly perceivable because they are so tiny, not much bigger than the head of a pin. During this third stage they are called Nymphs and about 90% of Lyme disease is passed to people by way of a nymph.

The next stage, the adult, can also pass the disease, but because they are bigger and easier to see they are often pulled off before having a chance to transmit the disease. Any tick whether a nymph or an adult needs to be feeding for about 24 hours before the bacteria is actually transmitted into the host. Once the adult tick has taken in its third and final blood feeding it lays over 2000 eggs and dies. Adult ticks prefer to feed on deer for their final feed, hence the reason behind the tick’s name.

Originally it was believed Lyme disease was passed by only ticks, but within the last few years it has been discovered that both fleas and mosquitoes can also spread the disease.

Why Is Lyme Disease So Hard To Diagnose?

The main reason Lyme disease is difficult to pin down is because the symptoms mimic so many other diseases. There are three stages of development for Lyme disease. In the first people often get a skin rash that resembles a bull’s-eye, with the center and the outer ring being red while the inner circle remains flesh colored.

Flu-like symptoms are often part of the first stage. Things like fatigue, fever, chills, headache, swollen glands and painful stiff joints can occur within the first few weeks.

With each stage of the disease the symptoms become progressively worse. Stage two left untreated will result in the bacteria working its way through the blood and lymph system. Severe joint pain can simulate Rheumatoid Arthritis and if left unchecked can actually result in joint damage. The nervous system can become affected to such a degree that loss of movement, like facial (Bell’s Palsy) or spinal paralysis, will result.

The third stage of Lyme disease is the most damaging and though rare can even result in death. Often the arthritic and neurological problems remain but other symptoms can develop like loss-of-memory, an inability to concentrate, heart issues, and eye problems. It is vital to attack the problem as soon as it is discovered. The sooner antibiotics are started the more likely a cure can result. Antibiotics may not reverse a problem once fully developed like Rheumatoid Arthritis, heart or brain degeneration.

Human to Human

The one good thing about Lyme disease is that even though it often acts like the flu it can not be passed from person to person, at least not in the way the flu is passed. However, Lyme disease can be spread through a blood transfusion and from mother to fetus.

Calculating The Danger

Even though up to 40% of deer ticks have the bacteria which causes Lyme disease only 2 to 3% of people bitten by deer ticks will ever develop the disease.

How To Choose The Best Air Purifier

The majority of dust in the air of our home is made up of human skin flakes. These flakes are between .4 to 10 microns in size which is almost identical to the size of particles which can damage our lungs.

This being the truth, it is no wonder the air within buildings is often of poorer quality than the air outside. And this is without even considering the other toxins like carpet off-gassing, cleaning solutions and a whole host of corrupting influences.

Over the last 70 years several methods of controlling the various pollutions within a building have been developed. All remove some impurities, yet none are able to totally scrub the air clean of everything. For this reason manufactures often combine technologies to ensure the greatest amount of air purification.

Promolife offers several types of air purifiers. Listed below are the major brands and the methods each uses to purify the air. Not every method is listed, only the most common. Often companies will improve upon a method, then rename the improvement while patenting it. For example, Bio Net developed a filtering system which uses a HEPA filter that is electrically charged so bacteria, viruses, molds and other living entities are not just trapped, but destroyed in the process.

Prefilter

Prefilters remove larger particles from the air. Austin Air, Bio Net and NQ Clarifier all use prefilters with HEPA filters. The use of a prefilter ensures that the HEPA filter will not become overburdened, which ultimately will extend the HEPA’s life.

HEPA

The HEPA filter is the king of all air filters. HEPA is an acronym for High Efficiency Particle Arrestor. Developed during World War II under the Manhattan Project the HEPA filter was used to remove radioactive dust from inside governmental laboratories. They are effective at trapping up to 99.99% of all particles which pass through it. HEPA filters are required to be able to trap any particle .3 microns or larger. This takes care of just about everything but viruses, gases and smoke which are smaller than .3 microns. For this reason many companies combine a HEPA filter with a technology which will destroy these smaller particles.

The HEPA filter is made from paper-like glass fiber which are pleated into a V-shaped grill. Corrugated aluminum separates each glass fiber sheet. The HEPA filter uses a fan to cycle air through it. Living particles like molds and bacteria will become trapped in the filter, but will not be killed out right. They are only killed once they dry out. In general this can happen quickly for the fan itself will help dry them out. In areas of high humidity this process can take longer as the moisture in the air will prolong the life of the microbes. The HEPA filter is considered the best air filter on the market. More medical doctors recommend them over any other air filter. After the 911 attack FEMA chose the Austin Air cleaner to help the victims with the dust created by the building’s destruction.

UV – Ultraviolet

Ultraviolet is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, just beyond the visible color violet. It is this wavelength that produces the sunburn we suffer on a sunny day. Within an air purifying system ultraviolet light has the ability to destroy all forms of microbes. As these organisms pass by the lamp ultraviolet rays literally burn them which results in their death.

Ozone

Ozone has the ability to oxidize gases, microbes, molds, odors and a whole host of other pollutants. It has the reputation for being a harmful substances because nitric oxide can be created when ozone is made. Nitric oxide is a known respiratory irritant, however when used properly ozone is both safe and leaves the home with a refreshing odor, similar to a waterfall or lightning storm. Which incidently are two of nature’s methods for creating ozone.

Ionic

Ionic air cleaners also go by the name electrostatic purifiers. Originally they were created to charge the air with negative ions, so to balance the positive charge our home’s electrical appliances produce. Eventually it was discovered that ions attach themselves to air particles causing them to form heavy clumps which fall to the floor. Ionic air cleaners consist of a protruding set of needles called an emitter. Electricity travels up these needles and release negative ions into the air. Because ions have a short life cycle they are able to only travel into a room about 5 to 7 feet. Because of this the ionic cleaner has a limited ability to purify the air. The next generation of ionic purifiers show more promise in this area. They use a special radio frequency to ionize to a distance of 50 feet and are even effective through walls. However, this technology isn’t quite ready for every day use.

Photo-Catalytic

Photo-Catalytic technology draws on ultraviolet light to provide the muscle of its technology. Like ultraviolet it has the ability to destroy microbes and other substances. Photo-Catalytic is quicker and more effective than ultraviolet light because titanium dioxide is used as a catalyst to divide surrounding water molecules into hydroxyl radicals and superoxide ions. The hydroxyl radical molecule is a powerful oxidizer, stronger than ozone or chlorine, yet safer. One of the added benefits of Photo-Catalytic technology is their low maintenance of having no filters to change, or plates to clean.

Active Carbon

Activated carbon goes through a process of being treated with oxygen which opens up millions of pores within it. The result is that it becomes a super adsorbent substance. It has the ability to adsorb gases, chemicals, odors and all forms of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

How To Decide Which Air Purifier To Use

There are several things to consider when choosing the best air purifier for your situation. Here are some of the major details one should think about:

* How much energy will the air purifier consume,
* How much area do you need to purify,
* What kind of contaminants are in the area to be cleaned,
* Do you need a medical grade purifier,
* How long will the replaceable components last,
* How easy is it to change the replaceable components,
* How expensive are the replaceable components,
* What other maintenance needs will the unit require.

Once you have answered these questions you will be well on your way to knowing which air purifier will work best for you.

Optimal Health Requires An Electrical Balance

Many of the products Promolife sells either enhance, or help to repair the body’s electrical system. Some of these items are TENS units and therapeutic magnets, but even the Bio Cleanse Ionic Foot Bath works with the body’s electrical system to perform its detoxification duties.

Our EMF neutralizers help to eliminate the harmful electrical stimulation the body is bombarded with on a daily basis through our home and work electrical systems.

The Magnetic Pulser uses a rapidly pulsing magnetic field to produce electrical microcurrents within cells which have been reported to neutralize difficult to remove pathogens.

Recently major news organizations have reported a new transcranial magnetic stimulation device being used by psychiatrists to help people overcome depression.

There are entire health professions, like acupuncture, which use the body’s electrical pathways, called meridians, to heal the individual.

Electricity Within The Brain

Although every organ has an electrical signature it is the brain that is the body’s power station. The nervous system creates the brain’s wiring. Neurons are the individual cells which transform the energy into a transmission signal which flows both to and from the brain.

The neuron is an irreplaceable cell which transmits its signal through an electro-chemical process across the synaptic gap of one neuron’s axon terminal to another neuron’s dendrite. Neurotransmitters are the chemical portion of the process. They can be stimulators or inhibitors.

In order for the brain to function properly calcium must always be available to it. Within the body calcium performs three jobs: provides the energy the nervous system uses to conduct electricity; supplies the muscular system with the electrical energy it needs; and strengthens bones. Of calcium’s three duties the job it performs for the brain is the most important. In fact, if calcium is not available the body will take it from the bones to supply the brain.

Electricity Within The Cell

Every cell performs a balancing act with its electrical charge. Within the body the fluids which conduct electricity are called electrolyte solutions. These fluids have ions suspended within them. In general the electrolytes within and without the cell are electrically balanced with negative and positive ions, which creates a neutral condition within the body.

An electrical charge within the cell is made when the negative ions collected against the inside of the cell membrane outnumber the positive ions collected on the outside of the cell. The electricity is created when the extra ions inside the cells move outside the cell to once again create a neutral condition.

Other Body Electrics

Every organ has an electrical signature. Muscles move through electrical stimulation, the heart beats because an electric signal is sent through its muscle tissues, and red blood cells repel each other through magnetically like charges within the cell. This keeps the red blood cells from clumping together and also provides the space through which nutrients and oxygen can maneuver.

Below is a table of the majority of electrically adjusting devices Promolife sells and a little bit about how they help the body.

Curing The Common Cold: Not Quite Impossible

Ejected from the child’s mouth, the colony of Rhinoviruses splatter against the first solid item it contacts. Droplets from the group bounce off the surface, spraying in all directions. A single droplet flies into a small, cool with moisture, opening. An instant later the Rhinovirus’ barbs embed themselves to the wall of the nasal passage. The Rhinovirus rips a hole into the wall of its captured host. Defenseless the victim has no choice but to succumb to the aggressor. Within moments new instructions are installed into the conquered DNA machinery. Using the new instructions the hijacked host begins to replicate new versions of the robotic mannered invaders. Quickly new monsters fill the area. Suddenly, without notice, overcrowding causes the production quarters to explode. The new demons are released to swarm over unsuspecting neighbors. This pirate-like scenario is then played out over and over again. In time the body’s temperature will rise. Once a fever is reached immune defenders begin to rid the body of the common cold virus.

What are viruses?

They are reproduction machines without any self-means of procreating. They fall as much into the category of being a mechanical device as they do a life form. In fact, they are neither.

Viruses are parasitic in nature and require a host for survival. These tiny particles contain only their own DNA or RNA inside a protein shell. That’s it. They aren’t even a cell. A virus has to steal a cell then replace the cell’s DNA with its own in order to create more of its own kind.

Viruses are troublemakers. Unlike bacteria where 99% of them are either helpful or otherwise safe to humans, viruses are nasty, hard to get rid of balls of DNA. It even appears viruses have a way of creating variances within their own species by incorporating small portions of the host’s DNA into their offspring. Without this ability, in time the body’s immune system would become accustomed to a particular virus, which would give it a heads up on how to create a defense against it.

Just imagine the other side of this scenario. The next cold you get may actually have a bit of Abraham Lincoln’s DNA within the virus. It’s not likely, but someone’s DNA may be within it.

The Difference Between The Cold And Flu

The degree of illness is the major difference between a cold and the flu. The two have similar symptoms, and viruses cause both, but the flu is more serious. Each has symptoms of muscle aches, respiratory congestion, headaches and more. The flu can turn into a more serious infection if not treated properly. Both the young and elderly are more susceptible to dangerous complications pursuant to having had the flu. If either a cold or the flu continues for more than two weeks the person should seek professional medical help.

How To Prevent A Cold

The things that will help prevent a cold are for the most part well known. Washing your hands often is one of the most important. Just as important is keeping your immune system strong. Cold viruses are always around, but they generally won’t take hold of a person unless they have a weakened immune system. Other than these two things become mindful of those sneezing or coughing near you, and keep your distance if possible.

In order to strengthen your immune system it is not only important to eat right, it is also important to repair the deficiencies that often suppress the immune system. The most common of these deficiencies are selenium, vitamins A and C, and zinc.

What To Do To Overcome A Cold

The most malicious fact about the common cold is that there is no cure. Well there is no cure, but there are ways to fight a cold once acquired. Some include:

• Drink extra water, as viruses prefer drier tissues in which to replicate.
• Get as much rest as you can. The immune system functions best when the individual is either resting or sleeping.
• Create a fever within your body. Viruses cannot reproduce when the body has a high temperature. The body will have a difficult time ridding itself of the virus until the body’s temperature is raised. Without a fever to aid it, the immune system just doesn’t have the power to destroy the virus by itself. One of the best methods of artificially creating a fever within the body is by taking a sauna. Saunas not only raise the body’s temperature, but also aid in the detoxification of the tissues under attack. Taking a sauna as a precaution is one of the best methods of stopping a cold before it starts. As soon as you feel any of the symptoms of a cold, take a sauna.

Ways To Help Cold Symptoms

There are several things a person can do to temporarily alleviate cold symptoms. Gargling with saltwater or drinking lemon water can relieve a sore throat; saline nasal sprays can help clear up the congestion; and that old favorite, chicken soup, actually helps to remove the mucus associated with a cold by restricting the immune system’s inflammatory response.

Never take antibiotics for a cold or flu (both are caused by viruses). The bigger form of microbes, bacteria, can be killed with antibiotics. Trying to use antibiotics to kill viruses is like trying to catch a butterfly in a deep sea fishing net. The butterfly would slip through the holes. Antibiotics may actually worsen a cold by destroying friendly bacteria that are helping to keep the virus at bay.

It is also advised that one avoid eating mucus-generating foods like dairy products. And, stay away from sugar as it inhibits the immune system by decreasing the white blood cells’ ability to provide vitamin C to other cells.

As we approach this year’s cold and flu season it is best to remember the old cliche, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” and maybe, just maybe you won’t get one of the one billion colds passed around the United States annually.

The Steam Sauna Pro Helps Keep The Body Healthy

A year and a half ago Promolife began producing the Steam Sauna Pro. Within that period of time nearly 100 have been shipped all over world.

It was two years ago that the owners of Promolife, Gerry and Yvonne Segal, purchased the molds and rights to produce the steam cabinet. At first Yvonne wasn’t all that excited about Gerry taking on more responsibility. However Gerry has a young spirit and a ton of energy, so he welcomed the challenge.

Gerry and the Steam Sauna Pro

After all the parts of the fiberglass sauna were collected Gerry began assembling the units. He continued to build the saunas for six months before he turned the job over to Carl, a professional builder.

Carl putting hinges on a door

Now that Yvonne has her husband back on evenings and weekends she is very happy and proud of what Gerry has created. In an era where the United States has abdicated its strength of production, Promolife is excited that the Steam Sauna Pro is the only steam cabinet made in the USA.

The Steam Sauna Pro has been designed to be passed down from one generation to the next. With proper care several generations may enjoy its relaxing steam.

The Therapy of Steam Heat

All cultures, from the Romans to the American Indians, have used steam heat to treat illnesses while soothing the body’s tensions. Doctors have realized for years that creating a fever within the body is a useful method of killing harmful viruses and bacteria, while opening up the blood vessels, resulting in improved circulation which in turn strengthens the immune system.

It has been proven that taking a steam sauna after exercise helps to remove the lactic acid produced by the muscles during the workout. Both heat and steam help to relax a person which allows them to get a more restful sleep. Additional benefits of detoxification, increased muscular flexibility, a strengthened metabolism and improved skin tone round out the steam sauna’s list of abilities.

With the addition of ozone the Steam Sauna Pro enters a provocative new world of helping the individual. Nearly half of the Steam Sauna Pros sold have gone to people using ozone with the cabinet. For more information on ozone please read our newsletter series on the subject.

Viewing the Steam Sauna Pro

The Steam Sauna Pro has a solid, yet simple design which adds to its easy maintenance, and overall longevity. The controls for the sauna are located on the outside of the cabinet. The temperature dial ranges from 1 to 10 with 1 equalling 85degrees F and 10 equalling 130 degrees F. The other dial is the timer and is marked out in 10 minute increments.

The Control Box

The steam is released from under the seat. The picture below shows the grate through which the water is poured. The steel reservoir is able to hold up to three quarts of water at one time. The identical vertical forms on the either side of the water grate are adjustable seat brackets.

Steam Area and Adjustable Seat Brackets

The Steam Sauna Pro is easy to set up as there is no extra plumbing or electrical wiring required. The wheels allow for the effortless moving of the cabinet from room to room.

The power needed to heat the water is minimal, making the Steam Sauna Pro inexpensive to operate, plus very little EMF is generated.

One of the best features of the Steam Sauna Pro is its single door design. This saves on the headaches the double door steam cabinets present in their sagging and tendency to warp over time.

Of all the wonderful healing tools Promolife sells we are the proudest of the Steam Sauna Pro, for each time one is shipped out we know a superior product is going to be delivered to an eager customer.

TDP Lamps Heal By Creating Synergy

When it comes to TDP (Teding Diancibo Pu) lamps there is one question for which it is difficult to find the answer: Is the lamp’s mineral plate merely a medium through which far infrared energy is made, or does the plate actually transport the 33 minerals contained within it to the person being treated?

Before this question is answered, let’s first back up a bit and learn a few basics about TDP lamps.

Great Advancements Are Often Discovered By Accident

The development of the TDP lamp, like that of the smallpox vaccination, penicillin and dozens of other medical discoveries, was symbolically tripped over by the scientists involved.

For the TDP lamp the events leading up to its discovery in 1970 were definitely an accident. They occurred at an old Chinese ceramic factory where a new manager became concerned about the harsh conditions workers were forced to endure. He found it strange the workers could stand in clay for hours without suffering arthritis or any other debilitating ailment.

As scientists investigated the ceramic factory a couple of major discoveries came to light. First, it was discovered that the build up of slag (ceramic) within the kiln was producing far infrared energy when heated. The second realization, and this is the big one, was that the clay the workers were standing in contained 33 minerals the body requires for optimal health. So each day, by standing in the mud, their bodies received minerals needed they wouldn’t have absorbed otherwise.

Once the scientists uncovered the secrets surrounding the factory, development of the lamp took an additional 15 years to bring forth. In 1986 the TDP lamp debuted at the Zagreb International Fair where it received the gold medal. In 1988 the FDA recognized the device as a Class II pain relief device.

How Does the Lamp Relieve Pain?

The TDP lamp is able to dilate the blood vessels which creates micro-circulation within the body. In other words, every square micron of the body’s tissues become saturated with an increase in blood and oxygen. As the blood is being enriched with the lamp’s minerals, white blood cells receive an additional boost which strengthens the immune system. The hypothalamus becomes activated causing it to produce the neurochemicals the body uses to control pain.

Besides pain the TDP lamp is able to reduce inflammation, improves the body’s metabolism and helps promote new cell growth. Some of the diseases the TDP lamp has been reported to help are:

* Arthritis,
* Bone Fractures,
* Bursitis,
* Carpal Tunnel,
* Colds and Flu,
* Dermatitis,
* Diarrhea,
* Lower Back Pain,
* Soft Tissue Injury (Sprains, Pulled Tendon, etc.),
* Tendinitis,
* Tumors,
* Various Skin Conditions.

Answering the Hard Question

So what makes the TDP lamp better than any other far infrared lamp? Answer: The 33 mineral plate head, which is used to both make the far infrared energy and delivers minerals to the body. As the lamp’s heating element maintains a temperature around 870 degrees fahrenheit the mineral plate heats up, then radiates. Minute amounts of the 33 minerals are carried within the far infrared rays to be absorbed by the body.

There is still some debate as to what happens to these minerals once super heated by the lamp. Many believe the minerals are ionized into their essence and once inside the body, work in ways that are similar to the homeopathic method where tiny doses are given.

The manufacturer of Promolife’s lamps believes differently. It is their understanding that the mineral plate actually delivers microscopic particles to the individual being treated. This is why the mineral plate has an average life expectancy of 1000 to 1500 hours.

No matter the exact science behind the lamp, it has been proven the far infrared energy and mineral plate work together to produce a healing energy greater than the sum of each working alone. Far infrared energy is able to resonate at the same frequency as the human body. It is believed this resonance helps to open up the cells, making them ready to receive the minerals.

Inside the Mineral Head

The known elements in the mineral plate head are aluminum, antimony, arsenic, barium, boron, cadmium, calcium, carbon chromium, cobalt, copper, iodine, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, phosphorus, selenium, silicon, sodium, sulfur, tin, titanium, zinc and zirconium. The remaining suspected minerals are bismuth, germanium, lithium, potassium, rubidium, strontium and vanadium.

Treatment Possibilities

In general, when treating the individual with a TDP lamp, the head of the lamp is placed between 6 to 12 inches from the bare skin being treated. Use for 20 minutes, twice a day for two weeks. For specific information on treating particular ailments with a TDP lamp visit our Learning Center.

In a world with thousands of healing devices, the TDP lamp is truly one-of-a-kind. It heals while delivering needed minerals for repairing the injured part of the body; it heals the pain; and it heals without causing any harmful side effects.
