What are Far Infrared Rays (FIR) and Where Do They Come From?
FIR or Long Wave Infrared Rays are the safest and most beneficial light waves for the human body, from the sun. FIR is a form of energy that is part of the electro-magnetic light frequency of sunlight that is not visible to the human eye. FIR Technology was first brought to us by nature herself. All living things emit FIR. Traditionally we’ve gotten our daily dose of FIR from sunlight. However, most of us being indoors or in the car, it is getting much harder for us to get our healthy does of FIR from the Sun.

However, most of us being indoors or in the car, it is getting much harder for us to get our healthy does of FIR from the Sun.
The first research on isolating, or mimicking Far Infrared Light was done through NASA in the 1960’s. NASA in the early 1980s concluded that infrared therapy would be an ideal way to stimulate cardiovascular function during long space missions. NASA released the patent for generating FIR for public use in the early 90’s. Recently, several scientists in Japan extended this technologyand designed a way to create fibers to be worn on the body that emit wavelengths the same as natural Far Infrared Light from the sun, yet more concentrated.
Long Wave Infrared Rays (FIR) not only warm our bodies, but they stimulate various bodily functions. They can make our bodies feel fully charged. When Far infrared rays are beamed into the body, they are absorbed by the body and they resonate through it, similar to the sound and energy waves of a bell when it is struck.
As the Infrared energy penetrates, it safely and gently heats the tissues and blood supply within an affected area. Your body’s natural response to this increased temperature is to maintain a condition of homeostasis – balanced environment or state of equilibrium throughout the body. To do this your body responds with a rapid increase in blood flow to the area. Your blood vessels actually increase in diameter, a change called vasolidation, and allow oxygen and nutrients in the bloodstream to pass through the walls more easily—and to start to regenerate the damaged cells and tissues. In the same way, toxic substances in the damaged cells can also pass back into the bloodstream more easily to be filtered and eliminated by organs such as the kidneys, lungs and digestive tract. As the damaged or inflamed area receives this increased supply of blood, the cells are nourished and cleansed and you experience actual reduction in pain.

How Are Far Infrared Rays Created in the Bio-Mat?
The Bio-Mat Amethyst™ features the patented Kurare Super Fiber from Japan. (U.S.F.D.A. Patent No. 1386560). The method of generating FIR through the Bio-Mat Amethyst™ is accomplished by:
The BioMat™ works with remote computer technology that generates Far-Infrared Light Waves and Negative Ions. The Soft Touch Control System has the most advanced I.C. Chip, which cuts off harmful Electromagnetic Waves. The remote computer signals are conducted into the Amethyst crystal bed through a high technology messaging system. All energies pass through an Electromagnetic Wave Interceptor (EMI), which blocks any harmful EMF from entering the Biomat and our human energy system.

- First putting pulses of energy (DC Current) through this patented carbon ceramic material, this process creates Infrared Rays that the human body can absorb.
- As the FIR passes through the Amethyst crystals, the crystals elongate the wave length and emit a Long Wave FIR (8-12 Microns) that penetrates 5-7 inches into the body.
- The Bio-Mat Amethyst™ comes with anexternal control box where the AC current is converted to DC current, which is bio-electrically compatible with the human body. This advanced technology protects your body from the harmful AC current.
- Other Infrared Saunas and devices utilize 120V AC Current which has been proven to be highly detrimental to human health, by disturbing the human biological field.

What are Negative Ions?
Often referred to as ‘the vitamins of the air’, an Ion is a particle which has electricity. Ions are molecules that have gained or lost an electrical charge. They are created in nature as air molecules break apart due to sunlight, radiation, moving air and moving water. (http://www.webmd.com/balance/features/negative-ions-create-positive-vibes)
Negative Ions open ion channels which optimize cellular communication and support all bodily functions to work better. (Nobel Prize in Physics, 1991.) You may have experienced the power of Negative Ions when you last set foot on the beach or walked beneath a water fall. While part of the euphoria is simply being around these wondrous settings and away from the normal pressures of home and work, the air circulating in the mountains and near the ocean is said to contain tens of thousands of Negative Ions. At a waterfall, you will experience over 100,000 Negative Ions per cubic centimeter. On the other hand, if you’re on an LA freeway or in your office, you may experience only 100 negative Ions per cubic centimeter or less, maybe even none. After a rainstorm there are lots of Negative Ions in the air.

How Are Negative Ions Created in the Bio-Mat Amethyst?
The Negative Ions, delivered through the Bio-Mat Amethyst™, are delivered directly to the body through the skin’s surface via conduction. The direct conduction of negative ions allows for an immediate response and change in the body’s electrical field for 100% of people. The cell channels are activated, which allows for a rapid return to the body’s optimal physiological state
When the Kurare Super Fiber interacts witha Direct Current (DC) energy, the potential field surrounding the material is converted to a negatively charged field, which also purifies the air surrounding the BioMat.
When electricity is slowed down and converted from Alternating Current (AC) to Direct Current (DC) energy, the Kurare Super Fiber generates a discharge of Negative Ions in the air and converts positive ions in the body into Negative ions inside of the body. When a charged field of negative potential is applied to an insulated body, calcium and sodium minerals in the circulating blood get ionized. This results in changing an acidified body to an alkaline body.

How Do Negative Ions Affect Our Cells?
The human body consists of billions of cells and each is enclosed by a cell wall. This cell wall performs many important roles and some of these are absorbing nutrients, vitamins, hydration and minerals. The cell wall is also responsible for eliminating acidic waste material and toxins. When the amount of negative ions in the blood is increased, the function of a cell is activated. When there are more positive ions, the cell walls close and the cells ability to absorb nutrition and eliminate toxins is disabled. Through research done by Dr. Tanaka in Japan, it was discovered that when Negative Ionization is introduced, the calcium and natrium (salt) in the blood increases and mobilizes as the blood is purified. The blood becomes more alkaline.
What specific illnesses and symptoms can the BioMat alleviate?
Because the BioMat’s far infrared rays penetrate deeply into the body and address imbalances at the cellular level, it can be used to treat a wide range of health issues:
