Infrared Light Healing: What is it? What can it heal?
SPECTRUMS OF LIGHT:
Infrared light has been proven to improve health, promote faster healing, remove stretch marks, decrease the signs
of aging. But how? Almost all life requires light to survive. Sunlight is the primary source for all living things on earth.
White light or the visible light spectrum is the form in which we interact and is visible to the human eye. Sunlight has
wavelengths from 630 to 700 nm. Visible light is measured in wavelengths ranging from 400 nm to 700 nm
(rainbow). Edges of the visible light spectrum blend into ultraviolet and infrared levels of radiation. Infrared light,
between visible and microwave electromagnetic spectrum, called far infrared, are microscopic, thermal, and very
beneficial. While the sun is a form of radiant energy that provides healthy benefits, not all of this energy is beneficial
to your body like solar radiation. Too much harsh sunlight damages the skin (sunburn, sun spots, and skin cancer).
Aging, injury, or life circumstances can also take a toll on not only your appearance, but your health as well.
Needless, to say, but harsh environments can be even worse. Read more.....

Weight
How do you trust health information in a world saturated by mixed media messages, what’s good, what’s bad,
when you can’t even get straight answers from your own physician, nurse, or pharmacist? You only have one
body, and all too often one chance to take care of it. Recently, my sister went to her physician, who took her off one
medication only to have his nurse practitioner attempt to put her back on it. Both are qualified to diagnose and
prescribe medication. Whose health facts can you trust? Daily, we are bombarded with magazine ads, television
shows with the latest face or product, doctor’s offices, and even Internet sites, each stating they have all the facts!
Fact is, that not all medical professionals are trained the same way. That’s why we get so much conflicting
diagnoses. Plus, medical science depends on statistics on specific diseases and risk factors, but can also be
defective. When it comes to all statistics, interpretation is the key word. How information from a study is
interpreted depends on what they were attempting to prove, disprove, and who foots the bill. Another fact is, that
women’s medicine was actually based on statistics of men’s diseases and behaviors (until recently). So, if you
understand statistics, draw your own conclusions. If you must, ask your doctor if they are basing your illness on
statistics drawn from studies of women or men. After all, male and female physiology is different.
While we need to be informed to make good decisions about our health, getting the information can be difficult at
best. When I first began taking courses in psychology, I learned how the media manipulated the public into
believing they needed to have or do certain things (not limited to health) using statistics. In the 50’s, when
television came out, they realized they could manipulate the public into buying products simply by showing
someone using our senses and emotions. Human nature is a funny thing and while it is predictable to a certain
extent, there is still much to be learned.
One of the harsh realities of life is obesity. As we mature, the majority of people gain weight over time. Rapid
weight gain could mean medical problems and should be check out by a physician. Obesity affects a large
proportion of the WORLD’S population, not just the U.S. population. Men suffer from morbid obesity than women,
women suffer from obesity more than men, and young children and people over 50 suffer more from obesity than
other age groups. What’s worse is the treatment of obese people and beliefs the public holds about obese
individuals. I hear comments all the time and see people stare at obese people as though they had committed a
heinous crime. The crime is in the beliefs of the general public and their treatment of the obese. Not everyone is a
couch potato that eats tons of bad food all day long. Many people have diabetes, uncontrollable thyroid problems,
have sedentary lifestyles because of spinal and brain traumas (including stroke), and do NOT eat much at all.
Schools cafeterias, fast-food restaurants, and the makers of processed foods have FATTENED up the public and
now they want everyone to believe it is their own fault and not theirs. Even our own government does not give
needy families enough food stamps to purchase healthy food that would not put weight on them. So next time you
see someone with a weight problem, don't add to it.
Why don't diets work? They do, but not all diets work on everyone. Diets in conjunction with exercise and vitamin
supplements actually reduce weight and improve health. Dieting alone my quickly pull off some weight, but when
you return to previous eating patterns the weight returns, and all too often with a few extra pounds, and it harms
your health. Most diet or weight control programs teach you how to eat properly, but again, work best with
supplements and exercise. Even women going through menopause (who have put on weight during
perimenopause and can't get it off) or severely overweight individuals can slowly lose weight. It will reduce the risk
of loose or sagging skin if they exercise. It's a less risky way to weight loss and surgery.
I've tried everything and it doesn't work! I can't loose weight! I read and see this everywhere. With literally
thousands of diets, there is still something out there that WILL work! Mankind was not meant to be obese. Our
bodies malfunction when we are overweight for too long. Make a decision to protect your health, your life, and your
state of being when you retire, put control of your destiny into your own hands. Check out all the medical or
psychological possibilities, thyroids, diabetes, cortisol, stress, sedentary lifestyle, caloric intake, sugar and fat
content. Take notes in a journal. Keep up with how much you eat, calories, sugar, fat, in foods and DRINKS.
Drinks today have a lot of calories. Keep track of how much you exercise or move around all day. If you have been
sedentary for a while, simply increasing how much you move (walk the dog), ride a bike, work in the garden may
boost your metabolism enough to prompt slow weight loss. The point is, when people say they have tried
everything, research shows they have only tried one thing, an attempt to quick fix their diet by fasting or popular
diets with no credibility.
