What is Far Infrared (FIR)?
FIR infrared ray energy is a part of the natural light spectrum of sunlight, minus the skin damaging UV, which is why NASA spacecraft have utilized this heat. In Asia and Europe it has already revolutionized health and beauty products.

Far Infrared ray is a form of light energy form the sun. It falls within the same family of Infrared Rays in the light spectrum, but due to its longer wavelengths the human eye, cannot see FIR. The energy is ESSENTIAL & BENEFICIAL for all human beings.

FIR has the ability to penetrate, refract, radiate & reflect. The human body can absorb FIR because of its deep penetrating ability. When FIR penetrates through the skin to the subcutaneous tissues, it transforms from light energy into heat energy. The thermal effect within the deep layers of tissues cause blood vessels in capillaries to dilate, promoting better blood circulation, and the heat produced helps to get rid of body toxins and metabolic wastes through sweating.

What are the benefits of a FIR?
If there was a way to increase bodily energy, lose weight, decrease stress, detoxify the body, improve circulation and purify the skin while elevating the immune system to fight off everything from the common cold, asthma, bronchitis (and other respiratory conditions) to serious life quality threatening illnesses, what would it be worth?

What if all a person had to do to receive such benefits was relax and lay down for 15 to 30 minutes a day, three or four times a week, listening to music- now what would that be worth?


Hundreds of years ago, people discovered and turned to heat therapy as a source of natural healing for many illnesses and discomforts. FIR heat is simply and naturally rising to the top of health regime requirements.

Activated by heat, the FIR material emits FIR energy that is absorbed by human cells, causing a physical phenomenon called "RESONANCE". Thus, the cellular activities are instantly invigorated, resulting in better blood circulation and an overall improved metabolism.

FIR heat therapy can aid in weight loss by speeding metabolic processes of vital organs and endocrine glands resulting in a substantial caloric loss in a heat session.

It also increases heart rate and blood circulation, both crucial to maintaining one's health. The heart rate increases as more blood flow is diverted from the inner organs towards the extremities of the skin without heightening blood pressure.

In a case of injury, heat stimulates vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels, bringing oxygen to joints and extremities, relaxation of stiff muscles, speeding the healing of sprains and strains. The increased blood flow helps aching and injured muscles recover faster because of the stronger blood flow and the quicker metabolic and toxic waste productions purged from the body through the skin during perspiration. The skin is known in Chinese medicine as the third kidney because it is believed to be responsible for eliminating up to 30% of body waste.

FIR Heat Therapy allows increased blood circulation to carry great amounts of nutrients to the skin, thus promoting healthy tone, texture and mild cleansing of the skin.

What the Researchers say about FIR
Infrared energy is not only safe, but also highly beneficial for our bodies. Far Infrared lamps are actively used for medical treatments by Doctors, Chiropractors, Acupuncturists, Physical Therapists, Massage Therapists for: arthritis, joint pain, stiff muscles, injuries to tendons and ligaments to promote a faster self-body healing effect.

Infrared heat is "RADIANT" heat. Radiant heat is simply a form of energy that heats objects directly through a process called conversions without heaving to heat the air in between

Radiant heat is also called Infrared Energy (IR). The infrared segment of the electromagnetic spectrum cannot be seen, but can be perceived as heat. Our atmosphere has a "window" in it that allows IR rays in the 7-14 micron range to safely reach the earth's surface. When warmed, the earth radiated infrared rays in the 7-14 micron band with its peak output at 10 microns.

According to Dr. Tsu-Tsair Oliver Chi, in his summation on the mechanism of actions of infrared devices turned to the human body. Tissues needing a boost in their output selectively absorb these rays. The internal production of the infrared energy that normally occurs within our tissues is associated with a variety of healing responses and may require a boost to a maximal level to insure the fullest healing response possible in a tissue, which is being repaired. After boosting a tissue's level to its maximum, the remaining rays pass onward harmlessly. This phenomenon is called "RESONANT ABSORPTION."

Warm memories from our pad to yours.... The Mouse Turns 40!

The First Mouse

Mouse Inventor Doug Engelbart

We've come a long way over the past 40 years. Mouse technology has become mult-faceted and mouse pads are multi-functional. Take the warm mouse pad as a good example. It has a 4-port USB hub and a mouse pad surface providing infrared heat. How comfy does that sound?

The mouse turns 40

By Martin Veitch
NetworkWorld.com - Southborough,MA,USA

On December 8, 2008, the computer mouse turned 40 and, like many of us who reach that totemic and solemn age, the unappreciated little fellow next to your keyboard will doubtless take the opportunity to reflect on some ups and downs, roads not taken, bridges burned and opportunities scorned. But he'll also doubtless also raise a glass and say 'Well, at least I'm still around'.

On 9 December, 1968, Hugo Montenegro's theme from The Good, The Bad And The Ugly topped the US charts. Perhaps Doug Engelbart heard it as he drove towards a convention centre in San Francisco to give a presentation to show 1000 attendees the first demonstration of the mouse. Looking a little like a presenter of The Twilight Zone, he showed how a mouse could be used to control a cursor (but referred to by Engelbart and cohorts as a bug) to move around blocks of text. The mouse was patented but the patent terms ran out in 1987, according to Wikipedia, just a few years before it became an essential part of the personal computing world.

The mouse was popularised by the rise of the WIMP or GUI, first on the Xerox Star, later on Apple systems and subsequently on Windows PCs. A little like its traditional partner in crime the QWERTY keyboard, for much of its life people have talked about what will replace it, but trackballs, touchpads, digitisers, touchscreens and pens have largely been seen off and most of us still find the keyboard/mouse combination as the most effective way to operate a desk-based computer.

As computer designs have morphed it is quite remarkable that the mouse is still going strong and appearing in a wide and sometimes bizarre variety of wired and wireless, single and multi-button formats from ingenious companies like Logitech.

Gartner's Steve Prentice contends that the mouse could be replaced by a new paradigm and certainly it is true that the success of the iPhone, the Wii and other products hint that the way we interact with computers is changing quickly towards a world of interpreted gestures. However, it would not be completely surprising if the mouse were to be still here in another four decades so long as having a quick, cheap efficient way of manipulating text and other screen objects is required. After all, as the greetings card industry never tires of telling us, life begins at 40.

Will the Computer Mouse be Replaced? What About the Mouse Pad?

-Brent Woodrum

In the article “Analyst: Computer mice could be extinct in 3-to-5 years,” Analyst Steve Prentice states, “The mouse works fine in the desktop environment … for home entertainment or working on a notebook, it’s over.” Prentice uses examples of the Nintendo Wiimote and the iPhone touchscreen to show how far input devices have come. Although mouse maker Logitech has denied any claims of moving away from the mouse, it is something to think about.

After I read this article, I immediately thought of the new hp desktop computer that uses a touchscreen as the main input device. I started seeing commercials for this computer in June of this year.

Do you think future input devices will ever really be able to replace the mouse?


RESPONSES found online:
For palm held devices and games, yes. For desktops, well, that's another story altogether. Ergonomically, it doesn't make sense at all. The mouse is here to stay for awhile.

Utter nonsense....Touch screens make your fingers sore after a day of use...what about photoshop? etc. This analyst says Touch screens will only be a fad and the mouse will stay...touchscreens will remain an option....Nice attention getting headline leading to nothing substantive.

I really cannot see the all helpful and easy to use mouse to be replaced any time soon. I mean honestly it’s had such a long run and with today’s shape/look and feel it just makes it so much easier to use a mouse in comparison to any other device. The field is open to many ideas and there’s virtually unlimited amount of these ideas that could replace our mouse... but no matter what happens, the ever so loved MOUSE will never be replaced in our hearts.

I saw an interesting new take on the mouse at CeBIT earlier this year. Their website is www.futuremouse.com. It will be interesting to see if anything comes of it, or if its just vapourware for now...

Hmm. I don't think this will be the case. Many people don't like touchscreens, and motion devices are a pain to use for pointer input. Perhaps more people will change over after Windows 7, but the mouse will probably stay for a while yet.

Will the mouse really go away? I think the only way it will go away is when it demonstrates that it will give a higher productivity to everyone doing their tasks. That includes most of all in the work/business space. I travel and work alot and I can't even go without my mouse much. I can't see devices like the Wiimote or touch screens increasing my Excel or Word productivity very much to be honest. It'll need to be more innovative if its going to dominate the world over the mouse. For games these devices are definetly good. For everyday life? completely different story.

The mouse will remain, but not in it's current form. Having worked for companies that deliver touchscreen solutions, they are not a replacement for either the keyboard for typing nor the mouse for gaming. Touchscreens are good input devices for switching or turning on/off applications.

In my opinion the mouse will develop into a hand mounted device similar to a Wii controller, wireless and with a button for every finger (and thumb).

I don't think the mouse will be gone. I think we need it to use a desk top computer. The mouse may evolve into something else for hand held devices, but we need a pointing device on our desk top for our computers. Can you think the strain and pain it would create if we had to touch screen on a desk top?

There are too many new innovations coming along in the "computer mouse" world. Look at the heated mouse. It's an USB warm mouse that generates heat to keep cold mouse hand warm. Plus, all the other advancements in desk top computing would not allow the computer mouse and mouse pad to disappear. We need them for ergonomics!

Cold hands, warm heart is a myth, scientists reveal

Whether it's a myth or not, when your warm hand hits a cold mouse pad it feels the cold. It feels like ice. Using a warm mouse pad removes the cold surface and transforms it into a warm, soothing mouse hand work surface for your hand, wrist and palm. Try it here.

By Richard Alleyne, Science Correspondent

The old adage that cold hands often conceal a warm heart has been dispelled by scientists, after they found how physically warm you are has a direct correlation to how nice you are to people. People holding a warm cup of coffee were found to be more generous and charitable - particularly about others - than individuals holding an iced coffee, the study found. The researchers believe the effect relates to childhood when emotional warmth given by a parent was often accompanied by the physical warmth of being held or hugged.

The Yale University research seems to disprove the old saying 'cold hands, warm heart' which has generally been seen to describe how a cool exterior often disguises a kind heart. To test the theory the scientists, who reported their results in the journal Science, carried out two studies involving a total of 94 undergraduates.

For the first they presented half the unwitting participants with a hot or ice cold coffee and then asked what they thought of a stranger after a brief meeting. They found that holding a hot cup of coffee led people to judge the stranger to be a "warmer" person, in terms of traits such as generosity and kindness, compared to a group of people who held a cup of iced coffee. In the second study the researchers had people, who thought they were evaluating a product, hold either a warm or cold object - hot pads or cold pads as used in muscle therapy- and then given a choice of reward for participating in the study: either a gift for a friend, or a reward for themselves.

The study found that people who held the hot pad were more likely to choose the gift for a friend, and people who held the cold pack were more likely to choose the reward for themselves. "It appears that the effect of physical temperature is not just on how we see others, it affects our own behaviour as well," Professor John Bargh, a psychologist who carried out the study. "Physical warmth can make us see others as warmer people, but also cause us to be warmer - more generous and trusting - as well."

His co-author Lawrence Williams, who has since moved to the University of Colorado, said he thought the effect related to childhood. "As a young child or infant, being held close by a care-giver with love and affection leads us to develop a concept of what it means to be a warm person, or to feel interpersonal warmth," he said. "But during those learning experiences, children are simultaneously being exposed to physically warm temperatures, through close contact with another human being."

Simple steps will ease wrist pain
By DR. HARLAN SELESNICK

Q: I am a 22-year-old law student who has pain in both my wrists. I do not recall hurting it playing sports or working out. A friend said that it may be from using the computer so much, taking notes in class and writing briefs. Usually the more I use them, the more they hurt.

A: It is very common in individuals who use a keyboard with great frequency that they will develop wrist and hand pain.

The most common problem is a form of tendinitis, which is an inflammation of the tendons from overuse. Another common cause of pain on the palmar side of the hand and wrist, which may also include numbness, is carpal tunnel syndrome. This too is often caused by overuse, which can result in compression of the median nerve in the hand and wrist.

Taking a mild anti-inflammatory such as Ibuprofen and varying the height of your keyboard may be helpful in decreasing your symptoms. Occasionally over-the-counter wrist splints, which can be obtained at most pharmacies, can also provide relief. However, if symptoms persist, I recommend that you see your family doctor or a hand specialist to improve the problem and keep it from recurring.

Cold fingers and toes!

Warm Mouse Pad by ValueRays available at IGMproducts.com

from Wellsphere


Until I read the much-talked-about The Migraine Brain, I hadn't realized that lots of migraineurs report frequently having cold hands and feet. I've often joked that from October to May my extremities are ice-cold, figuring it had something to do with my height, my circulation, my lack of exercise, and/or my tendency to feel faint rather easily. That being said, I never really thought of it as something "real"; I figured instead it was just one of those bothersome things about being skinny and lanky. Whatev.

But now I wonder if there might be something I can do to warm up! Even with socks on, my toes are frigid; when I go to hug the kids I babysit for, they shriek in delight as they run away from me, thinking I was trying to trick them by putting icy fingers on their skin. I've read a bit about Raynaud's Phenomenon, but I'm not sure if that is what plagues migraineurs or if there's something else going on all together.

In the meantime, I'll wear my hat and gloves outside even when others look at me like I'm a bit crazy. (I get cold even when it's in the 60s!)

Anyone else have cold hands and feet more often than so-called "regular" folks?
