Peat
Hyperthermia Therapy (PHT) combines medically-formulated peat
with heat for systemic and localized applications. Chronic
diseases like cancer, arthritis, diabetes and heart disease are
related to a decrease in circulation and an increased
accumulation of toxins. By providing cellular  nutrition,
PHT enhances the body’s own systems of growth and repair, while
supporting the body’s essential detoxification system.
The high
temperature used in PHT mobilizes toxins from the fat cells
where they are stored. Enhanced circulation carries them out of
the tissues and eliminates them through the five organs of
excretion. PHT increases circulation, boosts the immune system,
relieves pain in aching muscles and joints, relaxes muscles,
decreases inflammation and detoxifies the body.
Peat is carbonized vegetable
matter. It contains a variety of essential minerals, trace
elements, enzymes, organic acids, and other natural substances
that are formed from the biological degradation of plant
material.
HOC uses peat that is
extracted from a secluded region in Canada and processed under
strict, sterile conditions. It is consistently monitored by
laboratory.
HOC Peat products have carrier
molecules to increase absorption of natural minerals and its
medicinal elements through the skin. HOC physicians have created
a medical peat formulation that adds sulphur, methyl salicylate,
pine essential oil and glycerin. These natural ingredients
relieve pain, promote an anti-inflammatory response and relax
muscles.
Healthy cells need oxygen,
nutrients, circulation and a good detoxification system to
perform optimally. PHT helps to reverse cellular damage by
dramatically increasing circulation and cellular fluids,
allowing oxygen and nutrients to reach the cells, and helping
wastes and toxins to leave the cells. Peat has a water carrying
capacity that allows it to maintain either hot or cold
temperatures. This capacity creates the prolonged vasodilatation
and increased circulation that lasts for several hours after the
peat bath has ended. It also allows the naturally occurring
substances in peat to be absorbed into the body, while excreting
the toxins and wastes that have accumulated in the tissues.
PHT plays an essential role in
detoxification of the body. Each day we are exposed to a
multitude of toxins in the environment—through the water,
ground, air and even in our food. Our bodies try to process and
eliminate these toxins, but with the large levels of chemicals
and toxins in the environment, our bodies are not able to keep
up with such a toxic load. Studies have shown that human tissue
contains 400-600 chemical residues.
Detoxification is essential.
Many forms of cancer and chronic disease have been clearly
linked to environmental toxins, and the incidence of these
diseases has increased dramatically over time. Heavy metal
toxicities can impair our immune system, affect our cognitive
functioning and cause skin reactions and other diseases.
Most toxins are stored in our
fat tissue. The intense heat from PHT mobilizes the toxins
stored in our tissues, increases our circulation, and allows for
toxin excretion, mainly through perspiration. Removal of toxins
from our bodies improves cellular function, increases our
circulation and immune system, and enhances our general health
and well being.
PHT has the ability to aid in
the elimination of stored heavy metals—mercury, cadmium, lead,
arsenic, and tin—as well as other highly toxic sub-stances and
compounds from our bodies. The humic acid found in peat has the
ability to bind benzopyrene, the carcinogenic compound found in
cigarettes, thus possibly inhibiting its mutagenic effects.
Fulvic acid in peat absorbs aluminum, making PHT potentially
important in treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Weight Loss as a Side-Effect
As fat cells are mobilized to
release toxins, they are burned as energy. With prolonged use
the heat also increases the metabolic rate, resulting in
sustained weight loss in a detoxification program.
PHT
Treats Chronic Disease
In addition to general
detoxification effects, PHT effectively treats chronic disease.
North American Pain Centers have had excellent results using PHT
for arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, PMS and
chronic pain syndromes. It allows people to recover faster and
return to their daily activities without the use of drugs to
mask pain. Pain relief can be immediate after just one peat
treatment, and after several treatments that pain relief becomes
longer term and can often last for years. Professional athletes
treat sports injuries using peat’s natural muscle relaxant and
anti-inflammatory properties.
Circulatory Problems—As we
age, heart disease and stress constrict blood flow through our
arteries. PHT reverses this aging process, delivering rich
oxygen and nutrients to cells through enhanced circulation.
Arthritis and Chronic
Pain—Peat's anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties,
combined with increased circulation and removal of toxic
substances, can reduce the pain caused by these conditions. Peat
also stabilizes collagen tissue, resulting in increased mobility
and range of motion, allowing a return to normal functioning.
Cancer—PHT’s high heat renders
cancer cells unstable and unable to efficiently replicate. It
removes the toxins linked to cancer and increases immune support
through its stimulating effect on white blood cells and natural
killer cells. It has also been shown to enhance both chemo and
radiation therapy.
Colds and Flus—With increased
immune support and direct anti-viral actions, PHT fights
infection. Peat also helps to relieve muscle aches associated
with colds and flus.
