FAR infrared and CLL

[wnrtakeall]

I'm a newbie to this site; Does anyone have info as to what frequency of FAR infrared may be damaging to CLL patients? Thanks

Welcome wnrtakeall,

Are you interested in the evidence behind Far Infrared as a potential treatment for CLL or concerned about what dangers it might cause if you have a far infrared session?

This paper examines far infrared's use for some cancer treatments. Note that these are solid cancers and the infrared is used in conjunction with drugs targeting the cancer cells: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

This Mayo Clinic article discusses the evidence for the claimed health benefits: mayoclinic.org/healthy-life...

CLL cells are more fragile than healthy B-cells, which is why it is fairly common to see a note "Smudge cells present" on our blood test results. They are also dormant in our blood, but multiply in our nodes, spleen and bone marrow. If the far infrared radiation killed off any CLL cells in the blood just under our skin, any improvement in our blood lymphocyte count would be temporarily, with the CLL cells replaced from those duplicating internally, where the infrared radiation would not reach.

I am using my red LED full body panel 10 min each side every day

[LeoPa in reply to Zoy2004]

did you notice any beneficial effects?

[Zoy2004 in reply to LeoPa]

Yes

My skin got much better and sleeping pattern much improved. Instead 3-4 hours I sleep 7

[LeoPa in reply to Zoy2004]

Thanks, interesting.

Originally I bought it for skin improvement then found out about therapeutic effects

[LeoPa in reply to Zoy2004]

Any effects on the ALC count? I wish there was a way to filter out or kill off the monoclonal B cells only. That discovery would deserve the Nobel Prize.

[Zoy2004 in reply to LeoPa]

Lymphocytes 48% or 3.3

WCC 6.9

On imbruvica from 1st June

[LeoPa in reply to Zoy2004]

Those are good numbers. May they stay stuck there for long😊

Thank you x

What is this exactly? I have trouble sleeping and skin issues as well. May I ask how you found out about this? Where do you buy one?

[Zoy2004 in reply to RedheadedDeb]

I am in the beauty groups and they recommended it for skin issues, like dull dry skin, spots acne etc. When I went further I noticed more than that. More health issues. Insomnia was one of them.

I bought it from Alternative Red. Canadian company. They do 30% off sales regularly.

International shipment is free. I live in the UK.

And I bought full body LED.

Good luck xx

I'm thinking of putting in a home sauna and want to make sure the FAR infra red won't aggravate anything. Should have been a little more specific in my post. Sorry.
