Summary
Justin and Kate Stellman interview Dr. Mark Sircus about his use of the Biomat in healing protocols. The conversation opens with the Hippocrates quote about fever as medicine, setting the stage for a deep dive into far-infrared heat therapy. Dr. Sircus discusses how the Biomat uses amethyst crystals to deliver far-infrared rays that penetrate 2-3 inches into tissue, raising core body temperature to stimulate circulation, detoxification, and immune response. He explains the difference between far-infrared heat and conventional heating, emphasizing how far-infrared vibrates water molecules at a cellular level to create therapeutic heat from within. The episode covers practical protocols for using the Biomat, including temperature settings, session duration, and combining the mat with other healing modalities like magnesium therapy and sodium bicarbonate baths.
Key Points
- The Biomat uses amethyst crystals to emit far-infrared rays in the 8-14 micron wavelength range, which penetrate deep into tissue
- Far-infrared heat works differently than conventional heat by vibrating water molecules at the cellular level, creating warmth from within
- Hippocrates recognized fever as a healing mechanism; the Biomat creates a controlled artificial fever response
- The mat can be used at low settings (95-104F) overnight for gentle therapy or high settings (140-158F) for intensive detox sessions
- Combining the Biomat with magnesium and sodium bicarbonate protocols may enhance therapeutic outcomes
- Far-infrared therapy supports circulation, pain relief, immune function, and detoxification
- The Biomat is an FDA-registered class II medical device with documented benefits for pain and inflammation
Key Moments
Hippocrates and the healing power of fever
The hosts open with the Hippocrates quote about fever as medicine, framing the Biomat's far-infrared therapy as a modern tool for creating controlled therapeutic fever to support healing.
"Give me the power to produce fever and I will cure all disease. I know this. Who said this? Hippocrates. Wow, smart cookie. No, I actually just read that a few days ago and that one blew my mind. Give me the power to produce fever and I will cure all disease. So says Hippocrates."
Far-infrared penetration and cellular heating
Jennifer Horton explains how far-infrared deeply penetrates the body and vibrates water molecules to create heat from within, distinguishing it from conventional surface-level heating and describing how this creates a fever response from the inside out.
"Probably one of the most prolific doctors in terms of what he's doing and his writings. He produces books that are 600 pages and 700 pages like it's nothing. Oh, is that all? Yeah, it's amazing. This guy is amazing. He was on our show before. We'll put a link to that show. I think it was around episode 23 or so."
Negative ions for cellular-level detoxification
Horton describes how the Biomat's negative ions signal cells to open channels and release waste, providing a deeper level of detoxification beyond what infrared circulation alone can achieve.
"And you know what I like about it too is that you can change the settings so that if you turn it all the way down, I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, if you turn the heat part of it off, you still get the negative ions. Is that right? Oh, sure. Oh, sure. Oh, sure. Yeah, so that's why if people wanted to sleep on it but they didn't want the heat, they could still get all the incredible benefits of the crystals. Well, at the very low settings, you don't get so much heat. It's very comfortable."
Bio-napping and rapid parasympathetic activation
Horton describes how conference demo sessions showed people falling into deep sleep within 15 minutes on the Biomat, demonstrating its powerful ability to shift the nervous system into parasympathetic mode.
"Pain associated. Well, they have a bio... I don't know if it's called a bio belt or just a belt instead of a mattress. And it wraps around your kidneys. So a pregnant woman or even at birth could be using something like that. Oh, that would be interesting. Is it the kind of thing where can pregnant women all through pregnancy safely lay on those at the high setting? Sure, but you wouldn't... You know, you'd want to moderate the setting. Uh-huh. You wouldn't want to treat cancer because..."
