1.
|
Who can use KOMEDA's thermal system?
Virtually everyone from all walks of life, except pregnant women and people with
Multiple Sclerosis, Systematic Lupus Erythematosus and Adrenal Suppression, people
with prescription drugs, recent acute joint injury, surgical implants, silicone implants,
silicone prostheses, female currently having her menstrual flow, and people who are
prone to hemorrhage (hemophiliacs). |

Should I seek physician if
I would like to use KOMEDA's Infrared Thermal System?
Yes, especially:
1.person who is currently
using prescription drug should consult your doctor for possible changes in the drug's
effect due to infrared interaction,
2.person with a recent, acute joint injury, until the hot and swollen symptoms
have subside,
3.person with surgical implants of metal pins, rods, artificial joints or
any other surgical implants as they generally reflect the infrared rays and may not
benefit from infrared therapy or may experience pain near any implants,
4.person with silicone implant or silicone prostheses for nose or ear replacement
as silicone absorb infrared heat. Although silicone melts at over 200 degrees Celsius,
it is best if you consult with a representative of the product manufacturer to be
certain,
5.female who is having her menstruation may experience increased menstrual
flow as a result of the infrared heat. She can choose to continue with a session
or simply avoid any infrared session until the end of her menstruation,
6.person who is predisposed to hemorrhage (hemophiliac) as any type of heating
would induce vasodilation that can lead to the tendency to bleed,
7.pregnant woman,
8.person with Multiple Sclerosis, Systematic Lupus Erythematosus and Adrenal
Suppression.

Should I drink water before or
after a session?
Yes, you should. Drinking water before and after a session allow your body to stay
hydrated and replace your bodily water that you have sweat out during the session. |
|
4.
|
Should I change my dietary habit
once I start to use Komeda's thermal system?
Yes, in order to stay healthy. We recommend that you include multi-vitamin in your
diet, plus unprocessed and lowfat food, fruits and vegetables especially those that
are leafy green and yellow in colour and drink more water. |

|
What else can be done to stay
healthy while using Komeda's thermal system?
We recommend that you change your diet to include multi-vitamin, lowfat and unprocessed
food, leafy green and yellow fruits and vegetables, quit smoking and avoid excessive
drinking. |
|
6.
|
Can a person above 60 years old
benefit from Komeda's thermal system?
Yes. As people above 60 years old are unable to exercise vigorously compared to younger
age groups, their cardiovascular system are not as strong as people below 60 years
old. Regular use of Komeda's thermal system can be an effective means of cardiovascular
conditioning, burning of calories and the alternative to replace the more demanding
forms of exercise. |

What is a calorie?
A calorie is a measure of energy expenditure. The calories referred to in diet
and exercise are kilocalories (kcal) - 1000 of the calories referred to in science
labs for measuring chemical reactions.
A pound of fat stores 3500 calories (kcal). To lose a pound of fat a week a
person must eat approximately 500 fewer calories (kcal) per day than he/she expends.
The range of daily calorie burning is from 1600 for a sedentary woman or older people
to 2800 for active men, very active women and teenage boys. Walking expends approximately
100 calories per mile for a 150 pound person. |

What is "resonant absorption"?
Human body natural resonant frequency ranges from 8 to 15 microns. Far-Infrared Rays
resonant frequency ranges from 4 to 1,000 microns. As our body is of Far-Infrared
Rays' intrinsic vibration frequency, our body is able to absorb the energy from Far-Infrared
Rays. Consequently, the energy amplify our body's molecular vibration, thus generate
heat and result in resonant absorption. In our skin, the continuous vibration of
our body's molecule increases our dermis temperature, enlarges our blood vessels,
stimulates blood circulation and activates metabolism in tissues and cells. |

What is infrared and specifically
Far-Infrared Rays?
Infrared is a form of invisible electromagnetic radiation that exists between the
wavelengths of 0.76 micron to 1,000 microns(between microwave and visible light wave).
Infrared ray is a low frequency and low energy radiation that provides us the essential
heat to keep us warm. It is further divided into Near, Medium and Far-Infrared Rays.
Near, Medium and Far-Infrared Rays ranges from 0.76 to 1.5 microns, 1.5 to 4 microns
and 4 to 1,000 micron respectively. Extensive biological research has shown that
Far-Infrared Rays are the safest and most beneficial to human body because of its
capabilities to provide us its therapeutic and tissue regenerative properties when
we absorb the energy. |

What is the difference between
the sun's infrared ray and the infrared rays from Komeda's thermal system?
Apart from infrared ray, the sun also emits radiowaves, microwave, ultraviolet, x-rays
and gamma rays. Although x-rays are completely absorbed by our atmosphere and gamma
rays have short wavelengths to hardly reach the Earth, overexposure to sunlight may
cause varying degrees of sunstroke, heat stroke or sunburns and symptoms such as
headache, undue fatigue or irritability. Ultraviolet radiation in chronic sun exposure
may also cause the development of impending cellular death, premature aging, skin
wrinkle and Basal cell carcinoma (BCC - the most common form of skin cancer). Moreover,
the amount of Far-Infrared Rays available for health is reduced as it is being absorbed
by the other living organism, ocean, buildings and manufactured objects.
To address this issue, Komeda combines its research and technological resources to
build an integrated thermal system that operates using Far-Infrared Rays. The thermal
system is also designed with numerous functionalities for personal use and has achieved
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification and Medical Validation
to ensure that its materials, products, processes and technology are fit and effective. |

What are the toxins excreted during
a thermal session?
Non-water portion such as cholesterol, fat-soluble toxins, cosmetics, toxic heavy
metals (lead, nickel, copper, zinc, magnesium, iron, calcium, kalium, sodium, cadmium)
sulfuric acid, sodium, ammonia and uric acid. |
