New Heating Chair May Help Alleviate Back Pain, Sciatica and Upper Leg Pain

LuxSauna Introduces New Patent Pending far Infrared Heating Pad for Back Pain, Sciatica and Upper Leg Pain

New Far Infrared Heating Pad; TheraPad proves to be the easy to use miracle cure for eliminating back pain, sciatica and stimulating unbelievable comfort while sitting in your car or in your office chair.

November 7, 2005 -- Melt away aches and pains with this far infrared-heated car, office seat.

An estimated 80 percent of the population will suffer back pain at some time in their lives, making back pain the second leading reason for doctor visits. In addition, back pain is the number one cause of disability in people 45 and younger. Although more than 25,000 surgeries for back pain are performed in the U.S. each year, research shows that many such surgeries may not be necessary and that, whether a person has back pain surgery or not, four years later their condition reappears.

Sitting Can Be A Pain In The Back. There is almost twice as much pressure on your back when you are sitting incorrectly than there is if you stand up. Those most at risk are the people who not only spend long periods of time in the car, but also those who sit in front of their computer for hours a day. We all know who we are!

If you’re reading this article, you might be familiar with Sciatica, often referred to as sciatic nerve pain or Piriformis Syndrome; a radiating pain running down the back of your leg that just won’t go away. If what I’m telling you sounds all too familiar don’t worry, help is finally here.

Back Pain: A Problem of Evolution. Man's physical structure reflects similarities and changes that have occurred through evolution. From an anthropological perspective there is a common belief amongst doctors and students of anatomy that man's back problems started when he began walking upright on two legs. Our earliest primordial ancestors moved about on all fours.

In the course of standing erect, the spine once functioning as a beam (horizontal plane), now had to adapt itself to the disadvantages of becoming a pillar (vertical plane), in which the spinal discs were now detrimentally placed. The discs in acting as shock absorbers were now more vulnerable if the body suffered any stress, trauma or injury. The body had to constantly battle against the forces of gravity with the inadequacy of only two supports.

A posture variation, which has come with man's ability to stand erect, is 'Sitting.' Without the aid of the arms or external supports, sitting erect placed a tremendous new strain on the lower back region. University studies have shown that the discs in the lumbar-sacral region, the major site of back pain, are subjected to greater pressure when a person is sitting than when he or she is standing.

This may explain why so many people in sedentary jobs suffer with back ailments. Today, we sit more and walk less. Recreation for far too many of us is to sit in front of a computer or television set, or to sit in a car for long periods of time.

The evolution Of man into the world of advanced technology has certainly become a pain in the back.

How the TheraPad Works:
The TheraPad infrared heating pad is unlike any heating pad in the past. It is totally different from other heating pads on the market. Other heating pads use ordinary heat elements that only warm the surface of the skin and only a few layers deep. The infrared light waves of the TheraPad infrared heating pad go through the skin through the muscle all the way to joints, bones, ligaments, nerves and blood vessels.

The infrared light waves emitted by the TheraPad infrared heating pad are the highest quality infrared light waves. There are three types of infrared light waves: near, medium and far. The far infrared light waves are the best for this purpose and have been found in clinical studies to be most beneficial to humans. The far infrared light waves emitted by the TheraPad infrared heating pad relieve pain for many reasons, which include the following:

- The TheraPad infrared heating pad goes directly to the source of the pain and also helps heal damaged cells.

- It has been found in clinical studies that damaged cells in the body that cause pain have a negative electrical charge. The far infrared waves from the TheraPad change the electrical charge from an unhealthy negative to a healthy positive almost instantly.

- The far infrared waves from the TheraPad infrared heating pad gently warm all tissues, bones, and joints in the damaged area. In response to this increased warming, the body goes into a homeostatis response, which means it tried to maintain temperature. To do this, it expands blood vessels to get more blood flow to the area. This produces great benefits.

More blood brings more nutrition. And, the expanded blood vessels increase the capacity to carry away toxins and lactic acid, which cause pain. Inflammation is then reduced.

- When the far infrared waves from the TheraPad infrared heating pad warm the tissues in the damaged area, the tissues expand. Expanding the tissues relieves pressure on nerves.

- When the far infrared light waves from the TheraPad infrared heating pad warm the muscles, the muscles relax and relieve tension. This brings overall relaxation and soothing to go along with the pain relief.

- The far infrared waves make the synovial fluid in joints healthier. Joints are lubricated and nourished by synovial fluid. Synovial fluid contains an enzyme. If this enzyme is out of control, the fluid actually works to damage cartilage in the joints.

The far infrared light waves emitted by the TheraPad infrared heating pad helps balance the enzyme in synovial fluid so it will not cause harm.

Infrared heat has been tested for effectiveness and safety in many hospitals and university clinics. These studies have found that the infrared heating pad is safe to use as long as you wish. You can never use TheraPad infrared heating pad for too long a time.

Consistent use of the TheraPad infrared heating pad will eliminate the need of buying as many pain relief drugs, which are expensive and can cause a multitude of additional health problems. Also pain relief drugs only relieve pain artificially by interrupting the natural pain impulse.

Is there a Natural Cure for the Bird Flu?

The following company claims its natural product will help cure the symtoms of flu like the bird flu. The following isn't an endorsement it is for general information purposes only. Always seek the insight of your doctor when making health decisions.

The Bird Flu Is Coming and a Real Flu Fighter Has Been Overlooked

An all natural berry extract can reduce the duration of flu symptoms to 4 days. Most people, including doctors, do not know of this valuable natural remedy. It has been scientifically tested in human beings with great efficacy. It is safe and almost completely free of side effects.

November 7, 2005 -- No one would blame you for being skeptical about our preparedness for the coming flu season. The recent disaster surrounding Hurricane Katrina has called our ability to deal with any natural disaster into question. With the bird flu (Avian Influenza) infecting people and scientists waiting nervously for signs of the next major flu pandemic there is a lot of panic spreading.

A Southeastern Pennsylvania doctor says he has the answer in the form of an all natural flu fighter that reduces flu symptoms and shortens the course of the disease. Dr. Dave Woynarowski, MD, a Board certified Internist and Anti-aging doctor says, “We have been quietly making a product called Immune Booster for over a year now. The main ingredient is a highly concentrated, purified Elderberry extract. It comes from Austria and Italy and we have the exclusive distribution rights on the raw materials.”

When asked what role it plays in fighting the flu he says, "It's amazing. Elderberry extract was found to be effective against every strain of flu in the subject population. The other key thing is the subjects were real people, not just lab rats or viruses in a dish."

How does it work?

"It appears that it may actually coat the virus and prevent it from spreading. It reduces the symptoms of flu and I feel if you are taking this product on a regular basis you may never even get the flu.”

“Flu virus, especially bird flu, also known as Avian Influenza, can mutate very quickly. The virus you get the shot for is based on what was happening in China earlier this year. By the time the flu gets here it may be a very different virus and you may not be protected.”

Immune Booster's proposed mechanism eliminates this problem.

What if you do get the flu?

Most flu infections have symptoms for 7 to 10 days or longer. If you take the leading prescription drug for the flu you will get 5 pills that cost around $130 and reduce your symptoms by an unimpressive 1.4 day average. Plus, you only have 48 hours to get to the doctor and wait in an office full of sick people to get your prescription. After 48 hours, this medicine won’t help you.

Now let's say you got Immune Booster and waited until you got the flu to take it.

According to Dr. Dave, “In the studies Elderberry extract cleaned up most people's symptoms by day four. As you can see this is far better.”

He also points out that unlike Echinacea which still remains popular even though study after study has found it to be worthless, Elderberry extract has stood the test of scientific study.

What about Bird flu?

"Immune Booster should have the same effect on bird flu as other influenza viruses.”

There is a lot of panic about bird flu, or Avian Influenza, because it has already developed resistance to the standard prescription drugs.

Dr. Dave reminds us that the real worth of the flu shot and other flu medicines can only be determined after the flu season is over. Many times standard therapies (shots and pills) are proven marginally effective, especially for the very young and very old.

What about taking it if you have had a flu shot?

“I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t work with the shot or other anti-flu medicines, but there are no studies. I think the best way is to get on Immune Booster and stay on it year round or at least for the duration of the flu season.”

Are there any problems associated with Immune Booster?

“Not unless you are allergic to Elderberries!”

When asked if the product had any other uses, Dr. Dave replied that he uses it year round as a general immune booster and that its mechanism of action should apply to almost any viral infection. This includes anything from the common cold to the AIDS virus! Based on current trends the demand will far outstrip the supply much like the problem with flu fighting drugs and flu shots.”
