Far Infrared Heating Pads versus Heating Pads

When we talk about a far infrared heating pad it is the Far Infrared Instant Calmer Healing Pad we are discussing. This unique infrared heating pad features far infrared heat PLUS deep heat penetrating jade stones PLUS an antibacterial, patented material which produces beneficial negative ions.

The Jade stones absorb far infrared heat. This combination of heated jade and far infrared heat penetrates 200-300 times deeper into the body and produces no electromagnetic radiation that other heating pads produce. Its therapeutic effects also last 1.5 times longer than conventional pads.

The Instant Calmer produces negative ions. Positively charged ions are free radicals that weaken the body’s cells so you get sick and age faster. Negatively charged ions have been shown to relieve stress, strengthen the function of autonomic nerves, reinforce collagen, improve metabolism, and strengthen the body’s immune system.

Infrared heat has been found to decrease joint stiffness, relieve pain, relieve muscle spasms, increase blood flow, and increase the extensibility of collagen tissues which becomes important when working with low-force stretching and range of motion exercises.

A regular heating pad does not penetrate as deeply into the body as the Instant Calmer does. Regular heating pads produce electromagnetic radiation and the Instant Calmer does not. Regular heating pads do not produce beneficial negative ions but the Instant Calmer does, and regular heating pads therapeutic effects do not last as long as the Far Infrared Instant Calmer Healing Pad. Now, which heating pad would you rather have?!

The Far Infrared Instant Calmer Healing Pad is available in two sizes at www.TheReliefShop.com Medical Supplies: Small Healing Pad (14”x20”) and Medium Healing Pad (21”x30”).

NEW Help for MRSA, Staph and Pressure Ulcers (Bed Sores)

The Relief Shop Medical Supplies now has a NEW category on MRSA, staph infections and pressure ulcers, also known as bed sores.

Their information resources on MRSA and staph infections are from the experienced Microbiologist and alternative health researcher Michelle Moore. She answers such questions as “What is staph infection, what is mrsa, how do you get these infections, what are the symptoms, and what do you do about them”. She also tells how NOT to get staph and MRSA.

Pressure ulcers and bed sores have been shown to be healed and prevented with a new cream called CleaDerma DCB. The Relief Shop shows a video of a doctor’s testimonial. It is a little graphic as it shows the before and after images of a large, long-term ulcer and how to apply the cream. The main thing to observe is the healing process that has occurred.

The Relief Shop Medical Supplies infection support products offer comprehensive, broad-range support and treatment for challenging staph infections, MRSA infections, and pressure ulcers.

The Human Body from a Single Cell

From a Single Cell

It’s hard to believe a human being starts as a single cell. The cell is fertilized and is then called a zygote, which divides and develops into groups of cells. The average adult body contains about 75 trillion cells.

Cells group together to form either nerve, connective, epithelial or muscle tissue. Tissues that work together form organs and organs that work together form organ systems such as the nervous or digestive system.

The human body works by itself; the heart beats automatically, you breathe automatically, digestion occurs without you knowing how.

Yes, it is hard to believe a human being started from 1 cell!

CleaDerma DCB Heals and Prevents Pressure Ulcers

Pressure ulcers can be a thing of the past? That is what Spider Pharm is saying with the development of CleaDerma DCB skin treatment system. Pressure ulcers, also known as bed sores, decubitus ulcers, pressure sores and pressure wounds, occur when skin breaks down due to the constant pressure of sitting or lying in one position for a long period of time.

CleaDerma DCB is an all natural ointment that has been shown to prevent pressure ulcers by helping the skin to acquire the necessary moisture and nourishment it lacks when constant pressure has been applied. Besides preventing pressure ulcers, CleaDerma DCB has also been shown to heal pressure ulcers in Stages I through Stage III.

There are four stages to a pressure ulcer or bed sore. Stage I starts when constant pressure cuts off blood supply to the underlying skin, fat and muscle. A red spot develops that does not blanch or turn white when pressed. Stage II starts if pressure is continued. Skin cells begin to die and blisters and/or sores develop. In Stage III, the skin begins to peel and in Stage IV, secretions of the skin eat into the flesh creating a cavity. A pressure ulcer can become so deep that there is damage to the muscle, bone, tendons and joint.

In the following video, Dr. Alla Blumin demonstrating how CleaDerma DCB is successfully healing a long-term diabetic ulcer. Warning: the ulcer is shown and how the doctor applies the ointment. Before and after images are also shown.

CleaDerma DCB is available at TheReliefShop.com Medical Supplies.

Osteoarthritis Symptoms

Arthritis, in all its forms, causes pain and discomfort.  The Relief Shop is dedicated to help those with arthritis and joint pain by carrying quality and reliable products that can make your life more comfortable.

Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis and occurs when the cartilage that covers the end of the joints wears away.

Symptoms of osteoarthritis (degenerative arthritis) –

• Your joints may feel tender, ache, burn and/or have sharp shooting pains in them. The pain may be constant or intermittent.
• You may have swelling in your joints.  The cartilage of your joints acts as a cushion but as it wears away, tissues in the area become irritated causing pain and sometimes producing fluid that swells the joint.
• You may experience stiffness, especially in the morning or after sitting for a while.
• You may experience joint deformities from bone spurs.  A bone spur on the end joint of the finger is called a Heberden’s node.  A bone spur of the middle joint of the finger is called a Bouchard’s node. These nodes may not be painful but they can limit one’s range of motion.
• You may not be able to fully flex, bend or extend an arthritic joint.
• The muscles around an arthritic joint can get weak.
• You may feel and/or hear creaking and grating in the joint.

The good news is –

• It is not unusual for those with osteoarthritis to have years of pain-free intervals between symptoms.
• Stiffness usually improves with mild activity.
• The Relief Shop carries a whole section of products to help those with arthritis and joint pain.

“King of the Hill” and a Rollator!

This great story was relayed to us by a good customer:

“This is a comical story about a Rollator (a rolling walker with hand brakes and a seat).  My Dad fell and broke his hip at age ninety-three.  After healing, therapy, and etc., he could walk with a regular walker, but because he had no more cartilage in his knees due to so many years of osteo-arthritis, and he was too stubborn to get a knee replacement, walking was pretty slow and painful.  He decided he could move along a lot faster and smoother if he had a Rollator.

Before The Relief Shop was available, we went to a more expensive hospital supply store and they had one Rollator in the store which was actually their sample.  When he saw it, he tried it out, and made the statement “This thing really goes!” I tried to explain that it was the store sample and wasn’t for sale, but the store could order him one.  His comment was, “I won’t leave this store unless this Rollator goes with me,” and he sat down on it and wouldn’t budge! How do you convince a ninety-three year old, very opinionated man that he couldn’t have what he wanted?

After a while a solution was found — he could take the rollator home and use it until the new one came in.

My Dad was very happy and we left with the Rollator in tow.  When we got back to the Senior Center where he lived, he moved faster, held his head higher and was “king of the hill” with his new Rollator.”

Product Reviews for Arthritis and Plantar Fasciitis

The Relief Shop announces two product reviews from one happy customer!  The product reviewed is Ultra-Myossage Lotion. The health conditions the product helped are arthritis and plantar fasciitis. Here is what this satisfied customer has to say:

Review I – Plantar Fasciitis Pain Relief

“Three years ago, I developed Plantar Fasciitis , which is a painful inflammation of the thick tissue on the bottom of the foot. Most of the time, my feet were so painful I could hardly walk and getting up from a sitting position was excruciating.

I took therapy, shots, did all types of foot exercises, and nothing seemed to help. About six months ago, I discovered and bought Ultra –Myossage Lotion (with Aloe Vera) from The Relief Shop website and started massaging my feet with it once each day.

This product has been a huge help to me and a fantastic relief for my feet. It is a smooth lotion that absorbs well and does not get tacky! After I massage it into my feet, I can walk on the carpet or floor and don’t have to worry about grease residue.

Also, my once rough heels and feet are now smooth and supple, and the pain has been reduced 95%. Oh what a joy to walk again without pain!”

Review II – Ultra-Myossage and Arthritis Pain Relief

“I’ve been using Ultra-Myossage Lotion for the last few months for Plantar Faciiatis in my feet. It has done such a great job, that when the arthritis pain in my finger and wrist joints flared up I thought I would try the product on my joints as well.

I was so pleased when, in just a couple of days of deep massaging it into my finger and wrist joints, the pain had subsided and was barely noticeable. Yeah Ultra -Myossage lotion! I am ordering it by the gallon now.”
