Safe ways to heat an unattended house without central heating November 22, 2015 Subscribe I recently moved into a house without central heat. Is there a safe way to safely keep my house warm overnight and when I'm not home?Because every person and their situation is different, it is impossible to predict when you will feel a difference. Some lucky people feel benefits the first night, for others it may take 6 months. The average is about 1-2 months. The important thing to remember is that some benefits, such as increased immunity, increased oxygen saturation, and lowered blood pressure, may be taking place, even though you can’t feel them. However, to ensure our customers are completely satisfied, the Magnetic Sleep Pad comes with the Six-Month Satisfaction Guarantee. If two people use the bed – yes. If only one person has a pad under them, the person sleeping beside them will be exposed to the return possitive magnetic field that comes off the side of the pad. They could be adversely affected by this field if they sleep there over a long period of time.
Yes, it is sometimes advisable to place magnets on injured areas of the body; however, do not use them while on the sleep pad as the magnet’s field will conflict with the field produced by the pad. Use of the Sleep Pad will actually enhance the body’s response to daytime use of an applied magnet. Yes, it is a medical requirement that all metal implants are non-magnetic in nature. In our research, we have experimented using pure Negative(-) fields a thousand times more powerful than the sleep pad for extended amounts of time. In all cases, we have found only an enhancement of benefits, with no negative side effects. ~ Clock radios, alarm clocks and stereos will not be affected. ~ Watches may lose time if worn to bed. ~ LCD or plasma televisions and monitors will not be affected. ~ Conventional (CRT) televisions and monitors – the screen colour may be altered depending on the model of Sleep Pad and distance away from your bed. Be advised that with the Super Sleep System, TVs located in a room directly below your bed area may be affected, especially if they are housed in a tall entertainment unit.
~ Computers – we recommend that you keep your computers two feet away from sides and ends of the Core Model, and three feet away from the Super System. Some customers have used their laptops in bed with no ill effects, but do so at your own risk. Note: Our Sleep Pad’s steady state magnetic field is beneficial in that it buffers you from the effects of the pulsed electromagnetic fields in these and other electrical items, which can fatigue your body cells over time. It is not recommended. The frequency produced by the electric blanket (or heating pad) may interfere with the restoring nightime process of resonance in the body. Many people find they no longer need their electric blanket because their metabolism has increased when sleeping on the Magnetico sleep pad. It’s perfectly safe for children, in fact many have their own pads. The field is even gentle enough for premature babies. Many parents have found it greatly helps with children’s sleep patterns and can help calm hyperactivity.
Growing pains are often relieved. Animals are more sensitive to magnetism than humans. They will probably not stay in the positive field beside your bed for long, since it is not their natural environmental polarity. However, cats in particular may take a liking to sleeping on your bed with a Negative(-) field mattress under them. Our customers report that the pets who sleep with them are benefitting as much as their owners! There are absolutely no harmful side effects. You may experience some temporary detoxification symptoms, however, which is good and indicates that your body is working at a more optimum level.

Why are electric blankets discouraged for people who have diabetes? Diabetes has many possible complications, including nerve damage (neuropathy).
Over time, excess blood sugar can injure the walls of the tiny blood vessels (capillaries) that nourish the nerves. This can cause tingling or numbness that usually begins at the tips of the toes or fingers and over a period of months or years gradually spreads upward. Left untreated, it's possible to lose all sense of feeling in the affected limbs. If you have any degree of nerve damage, you may not be able to sense if an electric blanket or heating pad is too hot — which can lead to inadvertent burns. The same issue applies to water temperature when bathing. If you have diabetes and would like to use an electric blanket, warm up your bed with the blanket before bedtime — then turn the blanket off or remove it from the bed before you climb in. M.

The BioSmart electric blanket is a low-voltage DC Far Infrared Blanket. It generates infrared waves that may not feel very warm to the touch but actually warm the body from the inside out.
This is the same technology being used in the most advanced infrared therapies and infrared saunas. The numerous therapeutic benefits derived from infrared therapy have been well documented and that is why so many Doctors, Naturopaths, and Health Care Professionals recommend infrared therapy for their patients. See our VIDEO to learn more. Unlike conventional AC electric blankets that generate random wavelengths of radiant heat (which feel hot to the touch), the BioSmart infrared blanket is designed to generate internal body heat to compensate and supplement the body’s own production of far infrared energy. This promotes a deeper more restful sleep pattern. Dozens of studies have shown that supplemental Far Infrared waves increase efficiency of the body’s own metabolic processes, allowing the body to re-generate and repair itself. The healthiest infrared wavelengths are those generated in the 6-12 micron range. Though the blanket may feel only mildly warm, the energy that this blanket produces is converted to heat inside the body to support its own metabolic processes.
This life-sustaining energy is the same energy emitted by the sun that warms the earth and every creature on it. This patented technology was developed to overcome the misgivings and environmental hazards associated with conventional electric blankets and mattress pads. The BioSmart infrared blanket is both safe and economical to use, saving as much as 50% in energy costs over conventional electric blankets. Review the benefits and compare our BioSmart blanket to any other electric blanket on the market and we know you will agree, it’s the best investment money can buy if you want a good night’s sleep on those cold winter nights. Did you know that when the weather turns cold and the temperature in your bedroom is lower, your body has to increase its own production of far infrared waves during sleep to maintain your metabolic processes. As you drift off to sleep, though, your internal body temperature drops off, sometimes by as much as four (4) degrees (especially as you get older)!
In order to maintain optimum health, medical studies show that maintaining optimum body temperature during the sleep cycle substantially enhances the quality of your sleep. That is why we recommend supplementing and enhancing your body’s own natural far infrared energy with a BioSmart Far Infrared Blanket. The beneficial effects of sleeping under a BioSmart infrared blanket are numerous and should be experienced by everyone. Far infrared waves in the 6-12 micron range are therapeutic. The Infrared wavelengths produced by the BioSmart blanket enhance the body’s own metabolic processes during your sleep cycle. While the blanket may appear cooler to the touch, the infrared waves that it produces are absorbed quickly by the body thereby maintaining your metabolic processes at optimum levels during sleep. The BioSmart Infrared Blanket is perfectly safe, its compatible with your body’s own metabolism, and it’s the closest thing to nature for getting a good night’s sleep. The BioSmart infrared blanket is equipped with the latest temperature control technology.
This system monitors the blanket’s functions and the body’s heat production. The digital remote control provides you with information regarding the blanket’s complete operations on a digital “easy to read” screen that offers you complete fingertip control over your preferences with only 1-2 key-strokes. The BioSmart infrared blanket features a patented remote control that eliminates the bulky electrical wires running from the blanket to the night stand. This also eliminates potential tripping hazards in the dark or in the middle of the night. The digital remote features 10 comfort settings and a timer for precise blanket operation. The well-lit display screen allows for easy viewing and changes can be made in the dark with the push of a single button. Unlike other electric blankets, the DC wiring configuration in the BioSmart blanket is virtually undetectable. “You can’t feel a thing” – which is as it should be. That makes the blanket ideal for year round comfort with or without the supplemental power supply.
Note: Some people prefer more blanket weight for comfort and this can be accomplished by adding an additional blanket or duvet on top of the infrared blanket and then reducing the comfort setting on the infrared blanket to match the thermal properties of the infrared blanket plus the additional covers. The blanket will monitor the total temperature and adjust to maintain your comfort setting by taking into consideration the additional insulation you have placed over the top of the blanket. What is most incredible about the blanket is the fact that even in the coldest weather, you will find that you don’t need to pile on extra blankets to capture the warmth generated from your BioSmart blanket. The blanket is composed of multiple layers of proprietary patented materials that retain the far infrared waves generated by the blanket, which in turn penetrate the human body by as much as 6 inches. It is a well-known fact that conventional AC (alternating current) electric blankets create harmful electromagnetic waves and interfere with your body’s own electrical fields.
According to the FDA, the EPA, and the World Health Organization (WHO), conventional AC electric blankets pose potential health hazards and safety issues. On the other hand, the BioSmart infrared blanket operates on pulsed DC (direct current) which does not produce harmful electromagnetic fields while you sleep. Most importantly, the BioSmart infrared blanket does not interfere with brain wave functions during Theta or Delta sleep cycle. The human body will only absorb infrared wavelengths in the 6-12 micron range. Conventional electric blankets feel noticeably hot to the touch and become uncomfortable very quickly because they are generating other wavelengths of infrared that are not absorbed by the human body. The body reflects this waves. That is because shorter wavelengths of infrared are not easily absorbed by the body, therefore the body resists absorption of the heat. Infrared waves in far infrared wavelengths of 6-12 microns do not produce these uncomfortable sensations. That is why some people refuse to sleep under a conventional electric blanket.
