The regulation of warmth is a major characteristic of life. A healthy organism reacts to encroaching disorders with regulated increases in temperature, progressing in acute cases to high fever that initiates and enhanced immunogenic response. Accordingly, and artificially induced increase in body temperature can sustainable stimulates blocked powers of self-healing, even in cases of chronic and malign processes.
The controlled, selective increase in body temperature
• affects false regulations in the organism as a whole, as well as countering symptoms
• promotes reparative and regenerative processes in each individual cell and in the entire matrix, particularly in bradytrophic tissue
• expedites the flux of medicinal substances to the site of action
• relieves tension in even the deepest, most inaccessible muscular layers
• is thoroughly substantiated and is measurable and controllable in use
• utilizes one of the oldest principles of healing lore
IRATHERM is an Infrared-A-bed, which can raise the inner body temperature to 40.5 degrees C. just like when having fever, many metabolism processes happen in the same time. The arteries get wider. Blood flows better. The Cell membrane is more permeable in order to let nutrition in to the cell nucleus and dispose of waste or toxic products. The Immune System gets stronger. The tumor gets overheated and finally it dies. Advantages of Whole-Body Hyperthermia with water-filtered Infrared-A Heat Radiation with IRATHERM:
- skin-tolerable heat radiation by water filtering (realization of a deep-heat in the skin by elimination the conductance-heat ranges of the spectrum)
- patient tailored heat flow with regard to locus and intensity (six radiators)
- short body-core temperature heating-up phase(39' C in approx. 45 min)
- no claustrophobic stress for the patient due to open design
- permanent free access to the patient possible
- no risk of cataract(patient does not look into the light, because lamps are positioned underneath the patient)
- patient does not lie in his own sweat, as he is placed onto a network
- high compliance
