BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The far-infrared radiation having the wavelength 4-14 m have been known
as "growth ray", which is energy necessary for raising animals and plants.
Recently, researches by the present inventors have shown that the abovedescribed radiation activates animal and plant cells as well as inhibits the
lipid peroxide production which is considered to be one of factors causing
such diseases as rheumatoid arthritis, thrombophlebitis, progressive
systemic scleroderma, Buerger's disease, Raynaud's disease, intractable
dermatoulcer, and the like. It has also been proved that the application of
such radiation to a human body promotes the circulation of blood, and is
widely useful in preventing paralysis and cardiac infarction as well as in
curing a topic dermatitis. Furthermore, the present inventors have proved
that the radiation inhibits even the activity of cancer cells (See Igaku to
Seibutsugaku, Vol. 123: pp. 113-118, 1991, Ensho, Vol. 11: pp. 135-141,
1991, Ensho, Vol. 12: pp. 63-69, 1992, Int. J. Biometeorol., Vol. 37: pp. 133138, 1993).
The present inventors have utilized a particular stone, SOES (super growthray emitting stone), as described below, to make experiments relating to the
effects of the far-infrared radiation emitted therefrom. The radiation from
SGES has been applied to cancer cells transplanted to a mouse, to human
white blood and leukemia cells, and to lipid peroxides. Compared with the
known stones, SGES has been found to be remarkably effective, whereby
the present invention has been accomplished.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
increased; that is, the SGES is pulverized. More specifically, the SGES is
crushed by a crusher and then is pulverized by a jet mill.
The pulverized SGES is now formed into spheres. More specifically, the
pulverized SGES is sintered at 1,100-1,150 C. for 15-25 hours so as to be
formed into spheres of the diameter 3-5 mm (we call these spheres
"ceramic balls" hereinafter).
For the case of a use of the far-infrared radiation material as sand of a sand
bath, the amount of the far-infrared radiation is increased as several ten
times much as that at room temperature, and thus the SGES ceramic balls
are warmed. More specifically, the SGES ceramic balls heated at 50-70 C.
are laid in a bath tub, and then hot water at the temperature a little higher
than body temperature or 50-53 C. is poured into the tub with the ceramic
balls. When the hot ceramic balls are cooled to the temperature whereat a
person can bear or 45-46 C., the person is ready to take a sand bath for 1520 minutes.
Furthermore, since the SGES ultrafine powder is free from side effects, it can
be taken as a health food for maintaining and promoting a person's health.
For example, the SGES ultrafine powder can be added when cooking. Also
soft drinks with the SGES ultrafine powder can be served.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become readily
apparent from the following written description and drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[Experimental Method]
An agar plate was prepared by adding 2.5 ml of RPMI with 10% deactivated
calf serum to 2.5 ml of 2.4% agar solution. Thereon three holes of the
diameter 3 mm were made with the separation 8 mm along a direction from
the center to the outside: in the inner hole, 10 l of RPMI 1640 solution
suspended with 106 cells/ml of neutrophiles was placed; in the middle hole,
10 l of RPMI 1640 solution only was placed as a control; and in the outer
hole, 10 l of 10-6 M fMLP was placed as a migration stimulating agent.
After the agar plate was allowed to stand at 37 C. for 2 hours, the distance
of the neutrophiles moved from the inner hole to the outer hole was
measured, which represented the migration ability of neutrophiles.
0.1 ml of paraffin oil opsonized by human serum was added to 0.9 ml of KRP
solution suspended with 2107 cells of neutrophiles, and the mixture was
allowed to stand at 37 C. for 5 minutes. After ice-cooled KRP solution was
added to the mixture to stop the reaction, the surface of the neutrophiles
was washed three times with KRP solution well to remove paraffin oil
adhering to the surface. The paraffin oil drops englobed by the neutrophiles
were extracted with a mixture of chloroform and methanol (1:2) and were
measured by a spectrophotometer (absorbance: 525 nm).

effectively inhibited the lipid peroxide production of those from the other
ceramic balls.
EXAMPLE 3
Three types of leukemia cells on the market, HL-60, ML-1 and K-562, were
obtained, each of which were then suspended in RPMI solution. To the
system, the far-infrared radiation emitted from SGES or from known stones
was applied. Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+ ]i) in leukemia cells was measured
in order to examine the degree of inhibiting the function of cancer cells.

control: the value for a system without farinfrared radiation.
It can be clearly seen from Table 3 that, except HL-60 cells, the far-infrared
radiation emitted from all the ceramic balls inhibited the cancer cell
function. Particularly, the SGES ceramic balls of the present invention
significantly deactivated cancer cells over the other ceramic balls.
Two types of tumor cells obtained from cancer-bearing mice, sarcoma 180
and B-16 melanoma, were transplanted to the dorsum of normal ddY or C57
black mice. To the system, the far-infrared radiation emitted from SGES or
from known stones was applied. The effects to the proliferation of tumor
cells were examined to obtain the degree of inhibiting the proliferation of
transplanted cancer cells.
[Experiment]
Sheets of cloth were prepared which comprised ceramic balls of SGES and
tourmaline and ceramic, as comparative stones, obtained by pulverizing
these stones and forming the pulzerized stones into spheres, and were
applied onto the dorsum of two types of mice bearing sarcoma 180 and B-16
melanoma, respectively. The size of the tumor with the far-infrared radiation
thereto was measured every five days so as to be compared with that
without the far-infrared radiation thereto.
As clearly seen from FIG. 1, the far-infrared radiation emitted from all the
ceramic balls inhibited the proliferation of tumor cells, and controlled the
proliferation of transplanted cancer cells. Especially, the SGES ceramic balls
of the present invention showed the remarkable effects over the other
ceramic balls.
EXAMPLE 5
[Experiment]
It can be clearly seen from Table 4, the SGES ultrafine powder of the present
invention remarkably reduced the amount of GOT and GPT in the blood of
the dyshepatia rats, and so cured dyshepatia.
EXAMPLE 6 Clinical Test to Rheumatism Patients
In Table 5, "3 points", "2 points", "1 point", "0 point" and "?" are represented
as "Remarkably effective", "Effective", "Slightly effective", "No change" and
"No judgment", respectively. Also CRP and E.S.R. exhibit the inflammation
degree of rheumatism.
As seen from the result of Example 1, the far-infrared radiation emitted from
the SGES ceramic balls according to the present invention activates normal
cells more effectively than from any other known ceramic balls.
From the results of Examples 2, 3 and 4, the far-infrared radiation from the
SGES ceramic balls according to the present invention significantly inhibits
such factors which cause various diseases as the lipid peroxide production
and the proliferation of leukemia and cancer cells over any other known
ceramic balls.
The SGES ultrafine powder is free from side effects, and threrfore can be
taken as a health food for maintaining and promoting a person's health.

Assignment
Amethyst generates far-infrared radiation. What is this kind of radiation? FarInfrared radiation is a 'long-wavelength' infrared radiation. All light and heat
particles have a wavelength. X-Rays have a very short wavelength, whereas
visible light's wavelength is much longer. But infrared light has very long
wavelengths. Long-wavelength infrared is among the longest, and it is long
even for the infrared spectrum. It is even used to do 'thermal imaging' or to
represent an image according to its heat properties.
Eight Benefits of Far Infrared Radiation
Cell-Growth Promotion
Far-Infrared radiation is known to promote cell-growth and cellregeneration. Scientific studies have shown that by increasing the infrared
radiation level in your body, you will have more energy to grow and re-grow
cells in your body. The benefit of far-infrared radiation is that its wavelengths
are very long, so they don't have enough energy to kill cells (like X-rays), but
just enough to provide them with life-giving energy.
Sleeping Aid
We also know from experiments with animals and humans that farinfrared regulation has what scientists call a sleep modulator effect. The low
level of heat emitted by Amethyst crystals can help to calm your body, and
help you sleep.
Blood-Circulation Enhancement
Far-infrared radiation has been proven to aid blood-circulation, particularly
what is called 'microcirculation' among the capillaries in your skin. For a
while scientists believed that it was merely having heat around you that
aided microcirculation, but a recent study has shown that isn't true. Farinfrared radiation is more ably suited than mere 'conductive' heat in
promoting increased and more effective blood circulation.
Better Circulation of Bodily Fluids
Blood is not the only bodily fluid whose 'motility' or circulation ability is
increased by far-infrared radiation. Far-infrared radiation increases the
flexibility of your blood vessels generally speaking, and as a result,
everything in the body reaches its destination more quickly. It also helps to
speed up your overall fluid transportation.
People Feel Happier
In one recent study, Far-infrared radiation emitting discs were placed
under subjects pillows while they slept without their realizing it. Subjects
with the radiation emitting discs under their pillows reported a statistically
significant increase in their subjective satisfaction levels after several nights
with the discs under their pillows. This was in comparison with those who
had a placebo disc, so as to weed out placebo effects.
Increased Anti-Oxidant Activity
We all know the benefits of antioxidants. They help us fight the aging
process. Well, it turns out that far-infrared radiation promotes antioxidant
production in the body4. To think that Amethest Gemstone can actually help
produce antioxidants! It's really impressive. And it appears to work through
the low-level heating process, although we do not understand the
mechanism behind it well yet.
Healing Power for Wounds
Because far infrared radiation increases the body's circulatory power, it
can help wounds to heal by bringing cells the nutrients they need to repair
themselves. Far infrared radiation helps to repair tissue that is damaged as
a result of diabetes mellitus, reconstructive surgeries or other chronic and
acute damage.
Fighting Bacteria
Last but not least, we know that far-infrared radiation helps to inhibit
bacterial growth by inhibiting the enzymes that lead to their growth5.
Scientists have found that it is far-infrared radiation specifically and not
merely heat that inhibits the growth of some bacteria in the body. Regular
heat does not have the same effect.
These are a few of the benefits of far-infrared radiation. Now,let's turn our
attention to the health benefits of negative ions.
Negative Ions are free electrons or any simple molecule with a net negative
charge. Ions are broken molecules with special electrical properties. Since
they are 'broken' they naturally seek out other molecules and compounds
that they can combine with.
For this reason, negative ions are able to draw other particles if they are
found in large enough concentrations. Thus negative ion emission can draw
bad particular and 'free radicals' out of your body. Amethyst crystals emit
negative ions and can bring about the benefits of negative ion emission.
Here are three major benefits of negative ions:
What is Far-Infrared?
Jade Stone emits Far-infrared when you pass other heat mediums though it,
used in China for more than 2000 years to heal and give pain relief, now in
the healthcare industry; many neonatal care units use incubators fitted with
Far-Infrared heating to stabilise premature babies body temperature. FIR
waves are capable of penetrating deep into the human body gently
elevating the bodies temperature activating and improving bodily functions.
How it works?
Our bodies radiate far-infrared energy at 3 to 50 microns, with most output
at 9.4 microns. Our Far-Infrared beds use Jade stone heat pads which emits
between 4 to 14 microns it matches so closely that 95% of the infrared
waves penetrate (up to 3 inches) and permeate thoroughly though the body.
Pain Relief
Far-infrared heat stimulates vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels,
bringing oxygen to joints and extremities and internal organs, speeding the
healing of sprains and strains, relieving pain and reducing the time it takes
the body to recover from injury or ill health.
Improve Immunity
Far-Infrared heat raises your inner body temperature speeds up your
metabolism strengthens the immune response, as seen in the case of
infection, this enhanced immune system combined with the elimination of
toxins and lower cholesterol increasing your overall health and your
resistance to disease youll feel invigorated full of energy mentally alert and
a general feeling of wellbeing.
Far Infrared.
Also known as Far Infrared Ray (FIR) or Heat Therapy.
History, Benefits and Cancer.
Far Infrared is the 'chi' energy in humans and animals, also emitted from
sunlight. The intensity of Far Infrared produced by the human body
constantly fluctuates. When its intensity is high, we feel healthy and are
able to overcome ailments. When the Far Infrared (FIR) begins to decline, we
are subject to disease and illness and tend to age more quickly. We can be
exposed to Far Infrared heat for hours and it will never cause our skin to
burn. Far Infrared heat is completely healthy and safe for all living things.
Far Infrared heat therapy is know to prevent, combat and kill cancerous
cells.
Far Infrared Hothouse Dome and Sun Ancon Chi Machine used in
combination therapy.
Benefits:
2) Far Infrared is excellent for detox. Scientists in Japan report that in the FIR
treatment of clogged capillary vessels, heat expands the capillaries and
then initiates the start of a process to dissolve hidden toxins. Far Infrared
thereby promotes elimination of fats, chemicals and toxins from the blood:
Poisons, carcinogenic heavy metals - toxic substances from food processing
- lactic acid, free fatty acids, and subcutaneous fat associated with aging
and fatigue - excess sodium associated with hypertension - and uric acid
which causes pain. Furthermore, if sebaceous glands are activated,
accumulated cosmetics in pores can be eliminated through the skin (sweat
and oil glands) rather than by the kidneys.
3) Far Infrared stimulates enzyme activity and metabolism - One hour under
the Hotouse improves metabolism. FIR heat aids in breaking down cellulite trapped water, fat and waste.
4) Far Infrared may induce the killing of varied pathogenic (disease causing)
bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.

To date, there have been over 700,000 infrared thermal systems sold in Asia
for whole body treatments. An additional 30 million people have received
localized infrared treatment in Asia, Europe, and Australia with FIR lamps,
which emit the same 2-25 micron wave bands as employed in a whole body
system. In Germany, physicians in an independently developed form have
used whole body infrared therapy for over 80 years.
Of Interest:
In the winter, we feel comfortable with a sweater on when the room air
temperature is 70F. In the summer, we feel more comfortable wearing a t-
shirt in the same room air temperature of 70F. The explanation is that even
though the air temperature is the same, the walls and ceiling radiate FIR
waves from the outside sunshine during the summer, which thereby causes
our bodies to be warmer.
Couples that sleep together act as transmitters and receivers of FIR waves
to each other. If you sleep alone, you act as a transmitter of FIR waves, but
you receive none. When people sit together and talk, they are sending out
and receiving vibrations of FIR from each other.

was well enough to be discharged." - Dr. Toshio Yamazaki, Japan.
I started using the HotHouse immediately and ordered one for myself that
night. After biopsies, bone scans and ultrasounds, I was told at the end of
May, that my PSA blood count was at 1885, and that the cancer had spread
to my bones (back, pelvis, legs, head, etc.).
On June 1st we went to the Cancer Clinic and got the pills to begin the
hormone therapy to inhibit the growth of cancer. On June 12th I was taken to
the hospital by ambulance after suffering a mild heart attack (unrelated to
the cancer). Before leaving the hospital, the doctor injected my first
hormone therapy shot. The whole time I had been using the FIR HotHouse
everyday as long as possible. Some nights I would stay under it all night,
waking up only to turn it back on again. During the day I would use it
whenever I had the chance.
On July 19th, I went back to the doctor to have my PSA count done again to
monitor the cancer. My count had dropped from 1885 to 30!!! This
happened in only 12 weeks, one week of which I was in hospital and unable
to use the HotHouse. As 30 is still a very high PSA count I will continue to
use the HotHouse with total confidence that I will be able to bring my cancer
to 0. Thanks to my stepson Ken and HTE for such a great machine!".- Merl

Building a far infrared sauna may seem to be a daunting task, for even the jargon of
such a project is new to most people. Emitters, housing trays, terminal blocks, it all may
seem a bit scary, but in reality the learning curve is not all that great. The main
advantage of building a sauna is the amount of money you can save, as much as 50%
over a pre-built model. To build a sauna you will need basic carpentry tools and skills,
or you can hire a handyman.
The bench is usually about 2 feet wide and as long as the interior of the sauna. But again
the concept is not written in stone. Custom design the bench to create the kind of
comfort you desire. It is important nail and screw heads be recessed into wood so their
metal does not burn you when sitting on the heated hardware. And finally, there should
be a light in the sauna, location is up to you.
Once the emitters have been installed it is an easy job to reattach the reflector/emitter
unit to the housing tray. First screw the inch long nuts to the reflector/emitter unit
(Figure 7). Put this unit into the housing tray and screw the housing tray to the same
nuts from the back side (Figure 8).
Even though building your own sauna is a do-it-yourself job, we at Promolife are here
to help you figure out what you will need for your project. We are not electricians, so
we can not instruct you as to how to hook up the power, but will help in every other way

Discovery of a Weak Electric Current in Tourmaline
Scientists have long been intrigued by the unique electrical and magnetic
properties of tourmaline. Benjamin Franklin, the inventor of the lightning rod,
possessed at least one tourmaline stone and is said to have used it in his
experiments. In 1880, Pierre Curie, co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics
(with his wife, the famous Marie Curie), discovered with his brother Jacques, a
mineralogist, that tourmaline carries a weak electric charge when it is heated
(pyroelectricity) or when pressure is applied to its surface (piezoelectricity).
Later, research in Japan confirmed that tourmaline carries a faint but constant electric charge
0.06mA, which is why tourmaline continues to be known as "the electric stone," especially in
Japanese researchers also found that no matter how small tourmaline is ground or crushed, it
capable of conveying an electric current. This helps explain the effectiveness of the tourmalin
granules in Ki Flow Ion Therapy Jewelry.

Instructions
Purchase a small camping tent; the tent will serve as the housing for
the sauna. Purchasing a ready-made tent is far more cost effective
compared to constructing housing for the portable sauna. A small tent costs
less than $30 to purchase, whereas the raw materials alone (such as poles
for frame and housing material) for building a sauna housing would cost at
least $50. The tent is also designed to be portable and is ideal for an
infrared heater. In addition, tent saunas are quite common among campers.
2
Purchase an infrared sauna heater. This will cost between $200 and
$500. The cost should be on the lower side since the heater does not have
to warm a large area. Infrared heaters can be purchased from retail or online
sauna equipment suppliers. The infrared heater will require power from an
electrical outlet.

Assemble the tent according to the instructions provided with it. Place
the infrared heater inside the sauna against the wall of the tent farthest
from the door. Make sure the heater is not touching the tent wall. The heater
should not obstruct the door in any way. Run the power cord out of the tent
and plug it into an outlet (an extension cable may be needed.) Place the
wooden bench inside the tent near the door. Close all windows and turn the
infrared stove on. Close the door to the tent but leave a small portion (a few
inches) open for fresh air. Take a seat and enjoy the sauna.

Take out all the equipment (heater and bench) when done with the
sauna and the equipment has cooled off. Disassemble the tent and pack it
away.
