Dr. Toshiko Yamazaki, MD, owns a clinic in Japan were she continues her medical research. In her book "The Science of Far Infrared Wave Therapies"(30), she discusses the scientific principles of FIR treatment and she lists many interesting clinical case histories.

"Mr. "I" is 63 years old with cancer of the esophageal orifice. Ever since he was young, he enjoyed all sorts of gourmet food and alcohol. Furthermore, he was a heavy smoker. He lived the kind of life that would eventually lead him into this type of illness. On April 5th, 1979, he came to my clinic complaining about chest pains on both sides. He said that he had an X-ray examination on his stomach by a previous physician and was told that it was normal. However, from listening to his symptoms, I doubted the so-called "normal" diagnosis. Upon examining him in our clinic, we noticed slight abnormalities and disorders in his neck and spinal bones around the waist. At the same time, from a blood test, we detected cirrhosis of the liver and chronic liver inflammation. We thought that it probably was the result of alcohol consumption.

Furthermore, the response to cancer was positive and based upon the test results of the "alpha-phosphate-protein", his liver condition seemed to be the result of problems occurring in other organs. We recommended a more detailed examination of his stomach, but we were refused. Then we sent him to a nearby radiology specialist for several X-ray shots of his spine. We explained the situation to the radiologist and requested him to some how take X-rays of his stomach. Taking pictures of his spine, neck, and waist, the doctor was successful in obtaining the X-ray pictures of his esophagus and stomach. The doctor called me immediately over the phone to inform me of the cancer of the esophageal orifice. Not only that, he told me that Mr. "I" would probably only have about one and a half months to live.

The doctor thought that Mr. "I" had left already, so he was rather frank and straightforward over the phone. Unfortunately, Mr. "I" was still in the waiting room waiting for his cab to arrive. So he heard everything! He came straight back to my office with the copies of the X-rays, completely depressed, and reported what he had heard.

I told him of a similar case where a patient with cancer of the esophagus was completely cured by tenaciously following the treatment procedure. And I was able to convince Mr. "I" to follow through with the treatment with us.

In those days, for his chest pain, Mr. "I" was taking aspirin family pain killers which were later taken off the market by the Ministry of Public Welfare because of their cancer causing side effects. Our conclusion was that Mr. "I" was suffering from the toxins produced by this aspirin family painkiller, and his cancer was caused directly by this medicine.

So the first steps were to excrete the poison that was the cause of the intoxication, to destroy the cancer cells, and to help him manage the pain. We employed a far infrared wave sauna to excrete the accumulated poison. The sauna method was selected for its ability to excrete poison and to suppress the growth of cancer cells through high temperature treatment by penetrating far infrared wave heat.
