HEALTH MATE Infra-Red SAUNA

So...What is Infra-Red?

Infra-Red is the band of light we perceive as heat. It is not visible to the human eye but can be seen with special Infra-Red cameras. The sun is the largest source of Infra-Red heat. This form of energy heats your body without having to heat the air in between. Infra-Red penetrates 1 ½ to 2 inches into the body with uniform effect. This allows the body to sweat more efficiently, thereby releasing toxins at a much deeper level. By comparison, conventional saunas must rely upon heating the air around you at a much higher temperature in order to superficially heat your skin. Hence, the Health Mate Infra-Red Sauna is much more effective than a conventional sauna for health and detoxification.

All humans send and receive Infra-Red waves. In fact, Infra-Red rays are often called "Vital rays" and have special regenerative effects on the body. These rays have been used for over 80 years to promote natural healing.

So . . .What Can I Expect When Using a Health Mate Infra-Red Sauna?

• You receive the equivalent of a 6 to 9 mile run 20 to 30 minutes.
• Infra-Red penetrates the body @ 1 ½ to 2 inches which allows the body to sweat out more toxins
• The skin is cleared of accumulated dirt and dead skin cells, leaving it baby smooth and soft again.
• Effectively eliminates acne, eczema, and psoriasis with continued use.
• Infra-Red allows the body to release toxins, including heavy metals.
• People with heart disease, high or low blood pressure, and other health problems can safely use a Health Mate Infra-Red Sauna.
• Sitting in a Health Mate burns up to 600 calories in a 25-minuet session. Sweating causes an increase in heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate which consumes a considerable amount of energy (calories). However, with the deep, penetrating heat of Infra-Red, you also experience a dilation of blood vessels, so people with heart disease and high blood pressure can safely use Health Mate.
• Use of far Infra-Red helps to relieve pain by widening blood vessels which increases blood circulation and allows more oxygen to reach injured areas faster.
• The Health Mate works extremely well in cases of arthritis, rheumatism, chronic pain, back problems, headaches, etc. The Radiant heat helps to quickly repair sprains, strains, muscle spasms, and other injuries.
• Using the sauna helps reduce stress and allows for a relaxing time when you can release the tensions of the day.
• It is effective in clearing cellulite, a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and wastes, which are trapped in pockets below the skin. An Infra-Red Thermal System (Health Mate) can assist with this condition as profuse sweating helps clear this unwanted debris from the body.
• There is an increase in blood circulation and strengthening of the entire cardiovascular system without the cardiovascular stress of heavy exercise.
• The Immune System will improve as the Infra-Red creates an artificial fever, which is the body's way of dealing with disease, viruses, harmful bacteria, etc.
• Your overall health will improve from the combined effects of intense sweating and deep penetrating heat, which pulls toxins from the body.
  

So . . . Does the Health Mate Really Remove Heavy Metals?

By stimulating the sweat glands, the Health Mate Infra-Red Sauna increases the detoxifying, eliminating and cleaning capacity of the skin. This allows heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, zinc, nickel, and toxins like sodium, alcohol, nicotine, and cholesterol to be removed. The sweat analysis below shows what was found in the sweat of individuals who used a Health Mate Infra-Red Sauna.

So...What About Testimonials?

"Dialysis is not a Barrier"

My name is Harriet M., I live in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and I lost both of my kidneys in 1978. I am currently on hemodialysis three times weekly. I have many health challenges as a result of such an extended period of disability. In order to alleviate many of these problems. I have been blessed with the benefits of my Health Mate Infra-Red Sauna for the last three years. Since my skin is the second largest organ of elimination in my body, I can loose a significant amount of toxins through sweat. The gentle, radiating warmth takes away all pain and my joints and muscles feel loose and stronger after a sauna. I know for an absolute fact that I loose heavy metals through the sauna as I have blood panels taken monthly. My heart is working better through passive exercise. I sleep more soundly, and am overall more relaxed. Everyone who tries it is amazed at how different a Health Mate Infra-Red Sauna is compared to the "oven" type. I was not allowed to use the traditional saunas as I had trouble breathing the hot air and my heart beat was erratic ( which is not a problem with the Health Mate Sauna). I cannot say enough about this wonderful machine. Besides all the health benefits, the quality of construction is unsurpassed. I would recommend a Health Mate Infra-Red Sauna to anyone who care about their health.
-Harriet M.

"Durable and Effective"

"Joe Weider uses a Health Mate Sauna in his home to reap the benefits of burning calories. He has had this durable sauna for five years, without repairs."
-Muscle and Fitness Magazine, October, 1993

"Clearing Psoriasis"

"Psoriasis was making my life a living hell. My skin was covered with fiery-red spots, and I never stopped itching . . After four weeks of using the Health Mate Sauna, the red spots were clearing. The pain and itching had also gone. Then just after six weeks, my entire body was back to normal. The psoriasis was gone."
-Maria Roos Doesburg, the Netherlands

"Arthritis Pain is History"

Hi, my name is Lynne. I want to tell everyone why I love the Health Mate Infra-Red Sauna. So here goes . . . the Infra-Red Sauna doesn't just make you feel better, it really works. Not only that, it keeps on working even after you use it, for maybe as long as a week. If you want to loose weight, it gives you a way to regain control. If you have arthritis, like I do, it works. You can see it pulling all the toxins right out of your body and it seems to continue the process for several days after, making you feel better and better. If you want to feel relaxed, have a warm shower, and a half hour in the sauna with soothing music playing and you're back to human. If you want to improve your skin, it seems to heal and clarify it. Please try it! That way, you can sell yourself on it, that's how I did it.

"Detoxifying is the Best Way to Health"

"I have been exposed to toxins being a boiler maker 28 years and 10 years a pipe fitter. My health deteriorated steadily until I discovered the importance of detoxifying the body. I did a lot of things to help me get rid of toxins but I never found anything quite like the Infra-Red Sauna by Health Mate. I sweat out toxins through my skin and it makes me feel great. I am 68 years old and I believe I am turning the clock back as my health is better now than when I was a lot younger.

The Infra-Red penetrates so deeply that I can even sweat out heavy metals, and I know I have a lot of those in my body from the kind of work I did. Being able to use the sauna on a regular basis has certainly made a difference in my life."
-George W., Wilmington, NC 2002

So...Do You Have an Expert's Opinion on the Health Mate Infra-Red Sauna?

"A sauna used to be thought of as a luxury. But studies now confirm that diet and environmental chemicals cause 95% of cancers. Furthermore, as the first generation of [humans] exposed to such an unprecedented plethora of daily chemicals, we have learned that stored or undetoxified chemicals can mimic any disease. "Incurable" chronic diseases that were thought to have no known cause often disappear once toxic chemicals are gone. Since the far Infra-Red Sauna is the safest, most efficacious and economical way of [eliminating] stored toxins, this makes it a house-hold necessity."
- Sherry A. Rogers, M.D., Northeast Center for Environmental Medicine. Internationally known expert in Environmental Medicine and Author of " Tired or Toxic? and "Total Wellness," and "Pain Free in 6 Weeks."

The August 7, 1981 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reported what is common knowledge today: many people who exercise do so to place a demand on their cardiovascular system as well as to build muscle. What isn't known is that it is also reported the "...regular use of a sauna may impart a similar stress on the cardiovascular system, and its regular use may be as effective as a means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories as regular exercise."
JAMA, August 1981
