Nitric oxide and infrared sauna therapy
notes:
Dr. Louis Ignarro, Ph.D. is the
co-recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his work with nitric oxide
(NO) and he wrote a book called:
NO More Heart Disease: How Nitric Oxide Can Prevent--Even
Reverse--Heart Disease and Strokes by Dr. Louis J. Ignarro
"From diabetes to hypertension, cancer to drug addiction,
stroke to intestinal motility, memory and learning disorders to septic shock,
sunburn to anorexia, male impotence to tuberculosis, there is probably no
pathological condition where nitric oxide does not play an important role. Only
recently (within the last 25 years) discovered as a product of enzymatic
synthesis in mammals, there are more than 114,000 scientific papers dealing
with this remarkable molecule with most of these published within the last
eight years. " http://nitricoxidesociety.org/

Infrared Sauna Explaining Latest Trend in Recovery
https://sports.yahoo.com/far-infrared-saunas-explaining-latest-165641008.html
"The academic research on FIR's application for athletes and
in sports performance is still very limited. But a 2015 study from the Journal
of Athletic Enhancement, which sought to test the effectiveness of far infrared
therapy with a group of 10 male athletes from track and field, gymnastics and
baseball, found that the use of FIR heat for 40 minutes improves muscle
recovery after intense training as compared to passive recovery methods."
Brain Health (Dementia,
Alzheimer's):
"Using infrared significantly alters the slope and course of
dementia..." - Dr. Berman
"Infrared
actually facilitates changes in basic molecular function and removal of toxic
proteins and advances the promotion and regeneration of new cells. It's an
actual physiological intervention." - Dr. Berman
"People are verifying things like, 'He hasn't done that in
three years,' or 'I have my husband back,' Berman says."
"Using infrared
significantly alters the slope and course of dementia, Parkinson's disease, and
traumatic brain injury. We are seeing significant changes in the functional,
behavioral, emotional, and cognitive behaviors of people after one six-minute
treatment with infrared, Berman says."
According to Dr. Berman, after intensive treatment people show
significant reversals in their symptoms, lasting as long as they continue to
receive the treatment.

SAUNA STUDY UPDATES:
Reduces Risk of
Fatal Heart Attacks: (Heart)
From: 2015. A recent medical study involving 2,315 Finnish men
indicates that regular use of a sauna reduces the risk of fatal heart attacks
and reduces death from all causes. See Laukkanen, T.
et al, Association Between Sauna Bathing And Fatal Cardiovascular And All-Cause
Mortality Events, JAMA Internal Medicine, 2015;175(4):542-548.
Reduces Dementia and
Alzheimer's Disease (Brain)
From: 3/2017. A continuation of the Finnish men's medical study
indicates that regular sauna use reduces dementia and Alzheimer's disease. - Laukkanen, T. et al., Sauna bathing is inversely associated
with dementia and Alzheimer's disease in middle-aged Finnish men, Age Aging,
December 7, 2016.
