Answer:
If you get out to the millimeter wavelengths, you're in
cellphone and microwave oven territory. I cannot, in good
conscience, suggest that you defeat the safety switch on a
microwave oven. There was an excellent article in Alternative Medicine
magazine in Jan 2001 about far- infrared. I will email you the article in
Word 2000.
FIR is a frequency of energy at the far end of the infrared scale close to
microwave. About 5-11 microns (some use slightly different numbers). It is
emitted by the body and is helpful for the body. It helps remove lactic
acid buildup. I can feel the soreness go away in a short time just using a
FIR reflective wrap
