THERE IS NEW HOPE:

There is new hope for the many who suffer needlessly. Waon therapy involves the use or application of a specific type of heat to support a course of treatment, allowing the patient or user to experience a feeling of comfort and a pleasant state of mind arising from refreshing perspiration. This controlled environment can be produced with an inexpensive, high quality IR Mat known as a Vita-Mat.

The treatment modality is essentially “Thermal Therapy”.  This WAON therapy has been worked on and perfected since 1989. It is a warming therapy for soothing the mind and body equally, with 60°C dry far-infrared sauna bathing. The name“Waon Therapy,” was adopted to distinguished it from the typical “Thermal Therapy” modality of heat transfer. For example, “local high-heat therapy for cancer” or heat therapy from stem bath or Finish Sauna.  “Waon” is a word coined, and “Waon Therapy,” to explain useing “soothing warmth,” meaning “warmth that comfortably refreshes the mind and body.” “Waon Therapy” is the “Thermal Therapy” that has been perfected and refined for over eighteen years. Therefore, to obtain a correct understanding of “Thermal Therapy” or the Waon modality, we can now refer to it as “Waon Therapy: soothing warmth therapy”.

“Waon Therapy” is defined as “therapy in which the entire body is warmed in an evenly heated chamber (device) for 15 minutes at a temperature that soothes the mind and body, and after the deep-body temperature has increased by approximately 1.0?1.2°C, the soothing warmth effects are sustained by maintaining the warmth at rest for an additional 30 minutes, with fluids corresponding to perspiration being supplied at the end.”

There are various clinical applications ^1-11) of “Waon Therapy,” and the effects are dramatic. In particular, a drastic recovery is often seen in intractable diseases that are resistant to drug therapy such as severe heart failure ¹⁾, which is an indication of the need for a heart transplant, peripheral artery disease with intractable ulcer ⁶⁾, severe fibromyalgia syndrome ⁹⁾, chronic fatigue syndrome , and salivary secretion failure caused by Sjogren’s syndrome ¹⁰⁾. The effects are remarkable, and “Waon Therapy” is not simply therapy for organs and local sites. It also improves the systemic vascular function, corrects central and peripheral autonomic nerves and neurohumoral factors (hormonal activity), and activates autoimmunity and the bio-defense mechanism.

If “Waon Therapy” is performed once a day for 3?5 days a week over the course of a 2?6-week period ⁽¹⁰ weeks for peripheral artery disease) a clearly positive effect on the intractable diseases mentioned above can be obtained. Furthermore, with subsequent continuation for 2?3 days a week, the effects of “Waon Therapy” can also be steadily maintained.

To demonstrate the effectiveness of “Waon Therapy” as a comprehensive therapy, the effects on chronic heart failure are briefly described in the following example. “Waon Therapy” improves the clinical conditions, cardiac function, and vascular function of patients with chronic heart failure and corrects abnormal autonomic nervous response and neurohumoral factors ³⁾. It dilates systemic arteries and veins to reduce the preload and afterload on the heart and significantly increase cardiac output ^1). Arrhythmia caused by chronic heart failure is significantly decreased ⁴⁾. In addition, “Waon Therapy” considerably improves a depressive state, insomnia, anorexia, and ill feelings of patients with heart failure ³⁾. If “Waon Therapy” is performed once a day for 5 days a week over the course of a 2-week period (10 times in total), cardiomegaly is significantly reduced, the cardiac function is improved, and ANP and BNP can be significantly decreased ³⁾. If “Waon Therapy” is subsequently continued even furth er, then the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure tends to significantly improve. In an investigation using a heart failure model (TO-2 hamsters), it was verified that the group for which “Waon Therapy” was continually repeated once a day had a 35% improved survival rate compared to the group without this therapy ¹²⁾.

“Waon Therapy” significantly improves the endothelium-dependent vasodilatory potency of patients with heart failure. In an experiment using heart failure model hamsters, “Waon Therapy” considerably increased the expression of mRNA of vascular endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in vascular endothelial and intensified the expression of eNOS protein ^13,14). A remarkable expression of mRNA and protein of eNOS was also observed in an experiment with peripheral arterial disease models ¹⁵⁾. Specifically, after an apolipoprotein E-knockout mouse has a femoral artery removed, if “Waon Therapy” is continually repeated once a day for 35 days, the expression of mRNA and the protein level of eNOS also considerably increases, while the number of blood capillaries increases, the blood flow remarkably improves in the ischemic limbs, and angiogenesis can be achieved. In other words, “Waon Therapy” is deeply involved in the production of effects on genetic, molecular, and cellular levels, and this treatment modality therefore plays an important role in the recovery of the living body.

“Waon Therapy” is safe and highly cost-efficient, and is also a gentle comprehensive therapy that soothes patients and encourages refreshing perspiration, unlike conventional therapy, which often requires the patient’s endurance. I sincerely hope that “Waon Therapy” will be approved for coverage by medical insurance as soon as possible, as a new therapy for the 21st century. Such approval would be very good news for our patients.
