IR lamps

You’re welcome. Keep us updated on how you like it.

According to several sources near not far IR is more beneficial on the cellular level.

“So far, what we’ve seen in patients and what we’ve seen in laboratory cell cultures, all point to one conclusion, the near infrared light… seems to be perfect for increasing energy inside the cells. The [near infrared light] boosts energy to the cells and accelerates healing.”

It seems it would be very simple to construct a good lamp from the IR bulb, ceramic socket, appropriate rated UL cord, and put them in a swivel, extension lamp base.
Off to the flea market!

Microphone stand seems clever:

“Make a DIY Stand for Single-light NIR Therapy

For single-light NIR thearpy purposes you can easily assemble a portable light and stand unit inexpensively. Purchase a clamp-on light fixture and securely attach it to a common microphone stand with a boom. Be sure the light fixture is safely attached with a strap or fastener of your choice (ask your hardware store assistant for secure attachment options).”

Apologies for potential over posting, but this seemed especially useful, particularly item #1 in the list regarding collagen tissues.

Good stuff Ectospasm, thanks.

I have a microphone stand unused for years.

In item #1 they say 45 degrees. This sounds very hot to me, so either I have heated myself too little or I am hotter than I think. :) Not that I measured, and even if I buy one of those IR thermometers, it would only measure the surface temperature.

I only heard of collagen in the form of expensive pills popular in Asia to attempt to have more pale skin and look younger. Is it the tunica that can be considered collagen tissue? Would such pills then potentially be beneficial?

Collagen is a common prorein throughout the body and provides a supporting infrastructure between cells and tissues that basically hold all the components together, muscle, bone, skin,etc. The tunica is composed of more than collagen but they too would benefit from the stimulatory effects of IR as it effects the intercellular matrix, and vascular circulation also.

No, don’t waste money on supplements. Any part of your body will take what it is capable of taking from a well balanced diet. What you don’t take is far,far more important. Like not smoke, strictly limiting additional sugar, controlling blood pressure. Drink lots of water, eat nutritionally dense low calorie natural food. Exercise and get three blowjobs per day. (Ha,ha. Just threw that in there to see if you were still reading).

Good thread. More to come.
