The Appeal of Far Infrared LuxSauna Surges Despite Sluggish Economy
Multiple health benefits and low costs of far infrared saunas are behind the rapid growth of LuxSauna as they launch into multiple markets.
(PRWEB) April 1, 2009 — 10-20 years ago no one would understand what a far infrared sauna was. They might think of very expensive hot rock or steam saunas, or they might confuse it with a hot tub. This confusion is not lost. The new far infrared saunas are similar to the booming market for hot tubs in the 1980's. This is a product that appeals to the baby boomer market once they become educated about the benefits and (relatively) low cost.
You may have seen the LuxSauna 30-minute TV show on many stations across the U.S. And recently infrared sauna benefits were showcased by Dr. Oz on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
LuxSauna has recently teamed up with world famous detox retreats such as the “Tree of Life & Dr, Gabriel Cousins” in addition to other equally well knows retreats such as Hippocrates Health Institute in Palm Beach Florida. These retreats use the far infrared saunas in individual private cabins to enable clients to expedite detoxification and regain health and relief from pain caused by diabetes, cancer and even help eliminate obesity and many other health problems and ailments.
The Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center is known worldwide for its foundation in spirituality and living foods, and as a leading fasting and detoxification center, offering a diversity of spa vacations, spiritual retreats and health education programs. Founded in 1993 by Rebbe Gabriel Cousens, M.D., M.D.(H), Diplomate of the American Board of Holistic Medicine, The Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center is an oasis for awakening, inspiration & rejuvenation on the physical, emotional, mental & spiritual levels.
Dr. Gabriel Cousens of The Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center stated, “Toxins are like driving in life with your brakes on. They slow your mental functioning. If you want to have optimal functioning you have to get the toxins out of your system.”
Teaming up with Luxsauna will aid individuals that visit the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center with the ability to detoxify their mind and body utilizing the detox spa in their private cabins much in the same way as having your own private sauna in a resort.
From the LuxSauna.com website you can view Dr., Cousins elaborate on the many benefits of detoxification, the benefits of far infrared saunas for detoxification, and the wisdom of incorporating a far infrared Lux sauna into your own detoxifying, health regimen.
Scientists in Japan report that Far Infrared Sauna treatments expand the capillaries and then initiate the start of a process to dissolve hidden toxins.
The new partnership with Luxsauna will provide guests with the not only the luxury of a private sauna, but a detox spa that will aid in their healing process.

Orthotics And Beyond Expands Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint Offerings to Give Personalized Treatment Options
Orthotics And Beyond has dramatically expanded its plantar fasciitis and night splint solutions to offer new combination treatments and personalized therapies. Plantar fasciitis is characterized by sharp pain localized near the front of the heel, and it can affect individuals of all activity levels. Because foot anatomy, lifestyle, and sleeping habits are important in selecting the appropriate treatment, Orthotics And Beyond has expanded its plantar fasciitis offerings to improve patient compliance and to offer more 24-hour a day solutions. Many people suffering from plantar fasciitis are benefitting from bedtime or “TV time” use of a night splint with concurrent daytime use of special heel cup orthotics or arch supports that passively stretch or actively stimulate the plantar fascia. Such combined therapies can reduce heel pain faster and can accelerate healing of the plantar fascia.
Streamwood, IL (PRWEB) April 1, 2009 — Orthotics And Beyond, an international distributor of patient-ready orthopedic bracing systems, has dramatically expanded its plantar fasciitis splint (http://www.orthoticsandbeyond.com/c-23-night-splint.aspx)and night splint solutions to offer new combination treatments and personalized therapies. Each year over two million people in the United States alone suffer from plantar fasciitis (http://www.orthoticsandbeyond.com/c-23-night-splint.aspx), also commonly known as “Heelspurs” or “Painful Heel Syndrome”. Plantar fasciitis is characterized by sharp pain localized near the front of the heel, and it can affect individuals of all activity levels. A well publicized case recently sidelined a professional basketball player for 28 games: a clear statement about the severity of the pain and its indiscriminate targets.
Recent clinical studies have shown that a splint capable of holding the foot in a near-neutral position while resting at night is effective in treating 80% of plantar fasciitis cases. A variety of plantar fasciitis night splints (http://www.orthoticsandbeyond.com/c-23-night-splint.aspx) are available, and examples and a brief discussion of the relative merits of the different styles are available at the Orthotics And Beyond web site under the Night Splint (http://www.orthoticsandbeyond.com/c-23-night-splint.aspx) category.

Expanding Health Insurance without Reducing Costs Will Lead to National Bankruptcy
Medical Wellness, Inc. is a new, privately funded company focused on the economics of medicine, insisting that financial incentives are the only way to control healthcare costs.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 1, 2009 — Medical Wellness announces its formation as a privately funded, operating company devoted to developing financial incentives to control medical costs. Over $2.5 trillion are spent every year on healthcare with 99% spent on treating the sick with no incentive to control costs. As a result, Americans have the world's costliest healthcare and also ranks 37th, one of the poorest of any Western nation according to the World Health Organization.
President Obama, several weeks ago, called together 120 national leaders of healthcare asking for their help before exploding costs overwhelm the country. The media reports only lip service will result because most will want more money not less!
Herman Rappaport, President of Medical Wellness, Inc., whose background includes service as advisor to three president administrations and with 55 years in science and associated business, insists, “Political realities and special interests will not accept cost control without financial incentives. That's our objective, to answer the President's call for change in healthcare and show how all in healthcare can benefit, including the public.”
The U.S. Congressional Record “Mr. Rappaport is a man whose creativity at any given moment is about a generation ahead of everyone else.”
Medical Wellness aims to reduce the number of doctor visits by focusing on chronic fatigue and stress, the reason for most visits. Its initial products are designed to help with problems associated with aging, diabetes, senility and aging eyesight. Not only do these illnesses have the most effect on the quality of life and independence but they are America's most costly health problems and affect the family the most.
Although billions are spent on medical research, Medical Wellness may be the first company to develop products specifically directed at the cost control of healthcare. Medical Wellness is not a consulting company but an operating company, formed to prove that financial incentives can help control costs and without sacrificing the quality of medicine. www.mdwell.com
