The document discusses PowerStrips, a Class 1 medical device approved by the FDA. It summarizes research showing that applying PowerStrips increases heat levels in deep tissues through thermal energy. This vessel dilation carries increased blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients to cells. Infrared images show increased heat signatures after using PowerStrips. Regular use can help relieve pain through biochemical pathways that result in further vessel dilation and increased endorphin release. PowerStrips listing with the FDA allows claims that it improves skin look and feel.

Heat
Thermal Energy, Heat and the Body
• Constant thermal energy
interacting with PowerStrips used
regularly increases heat levels
and concentration
• Published peer-reviewed research on
the interaction of deep heat and the
body gives insight and understanding
to this concept
5. Normal Dilated
Heat in deep tissues: reported
immediate effects
• As heat interacts with
tissues vessels dilate
• Dilated vessels carry
increased blood, oxygen
and nutrition to cells
Heat
6. Infrared Images Before and After application of
PowerStrips to posterior thighs
• Low heat signature
• Then increased heat
signature
• Represents dilated vessels
carrying increased blood
volume with more oxygen
and nutrients
7. How does heat relieve pain?
• Interrelated biochemical and nervous pathways
• Results in vessel dilation and increase in blood
flow
• Enhances the release of prostaglandins and
histamines which enhances dilation
• Endorphin levels increase leading to pain relief
(runner’s high)
8. How does heat relieve pain? (continued)
• Local vessel dilation can extend to involve the
entire body eventually when PowerStrips are used
regularly, over time
• Cells that carry pain signals have decreased signal
conduction
• Elevated cellular metabolic rate
• More efficient clearing of metabolic wastes via
dilated veins.
9. How does heat relieve pain?
(continued)
• Heat results in elevated levels of NITRIC OXIDE.
• NITRIC OXIDE plays a role in pain relief and has
many additional effects on the human body.
• While I can not discuss these, I recommend that
you read carefully and extensively on NITRIC
OXIDE.
10. Impact of Pain on Individuals & Society
-Effects more than Diabetes, Cancer and Heart Disease combined
-53% reported pain in the previous two weeks
-1 in 3 experience lasting pain
-Costs $600 Billion annually to the U.S. economy
-Costs $300 Billion annually in Healthcare services
-Spend more than $2 Billion on non-prescription products annually
-World Wide 1.5 Billion suffer with Pain Daily
-The One factor that impacts every disease, illness, trauma is PAIN!
