What is a TDP Lamp?
Early in 1970, The Chinese government decided to send an investigation team headed up by Dr. Gou Wenbin , to a century-old ceramic factory located in a rural area of central China . The team's goal was to investigate phenomenon that was reported by the production leader of the factory. The production leader recognized that there were no single complaints related to arthritis and other working related pains despite the intense physical working environment. After interviewing many elderly employees, the investigation team confirmed the production leader's observation: there were no complaints related to pain and arthritis among the factory workers.
The conclusion of the research suggested that the unique mineral composition of the clay was the reason for such few pain symptoms. After an intense study by research institutes, hospitals, and schools, the TDP Lamp was invented to mimic the properties of the clay. The key part of this lamp is its heat-treated black clay, which contains 33 different essential mineral elements for the human body. This ceramic plate emits a unique spectrum-electromagnetic waves in the infrared range of 2 to 25 microns when heated -which is compatible with the BIO-spectrum waves released by the human body. This allows for maximum absorption. The absorbed energy promotes micro circulation, metabolism and strengthens immune system as well as tranquilized pain on the body
What is a TDP Lamp (another version)?
Early in 1970, an odd and interesting phenomenon was noted at a century-old ceramic factory in a rural area in China. This factory had extremely poor working conditions. The workers there stood in mud for much of the work day and the new production manager recognized these abject working conditions, becoming concerned that the workers would be troubled with arthritis and other related ailments due to standing on the cold, sodden floor for long periods of time. The ensuing investigations disclosed that the side effects of standing in the mud were the opposite of original concerns. They found that there was not a single case of arthritis among the workers. After interviewing elderly factory employees, the same findings were indicated: no residual effects of any kind were found among the people who had been employed at the factory. Upon a full-scale scientific investigation, scientists discovered a single anomaly: an electromagnetic reading in the far-infrared spectrum emanating from the kiln used to fire the ceramics. Analysis of a metallic slag in the kiln, accumulated over years of buildup, showed it was made up of 33 minerals. These minerals happen to correspond with 33 essential minerals in the human body, and when heated sufficiently, radiate far-infrared energy exactly like the human body. Scientists worked feverishly to reproduce the effect in a portable device, resulting in the FIM Energizer.
It has won many awards, e.g., the Gold Medal at the 1986 Zagreb International Fair, the Silver Medal at the 35th Brussels Eureka Worlds Fair for Inventions, and the Chinese Science and Technology Invention Award. The conclusion of the research suggested that the clay was the reason for such few pain symptoms. After an intense study by research institutes, hospitals, and schools, the TDP Lamp was invented to mimic the properties of the clay. The key part of this lamp is its heat-treated black clay, which contains 33 different essential mineral elements for the human body. This ceramic plate emits a unique spectrum-electromagnetic waves in the infrared range of 2 to 25 microns-which is compatible with the BIO-spectrum waves released by the human body. This allows for maximum absorption. The absorbed energy promotes microcirculation, metabolism and strengthens immune system as well as tranquilized pain on the body In China, the TDP Lamp is called 'Miracle Lamp' because it does not give off any visible light and it has been widely used to treat over 100 chronic conditions.
The TDP Lamp was introduced into clinics and homes around the world including Japan, Hong-Kong, Korea, Europe, Australia and recently North America and over 60 million patients have been safely treated due to its simplicity and flexibility. 
TDP Lamp were awarded the Gold Medal in the 1986 at the Zagreb international Fair and in the December of same year it was awarded silver medal at the 35th Brussels Eureka World for Inventions, and the Chinese Science and Technology award.
In 1988 the device was accepted by the FDA (FDA 510K number is K991503) for use in the United States and has been used by doctors to treat millions of patients with promising results. TDP Lamps are classified as an infrared lamp, under the Federal Regulations [21 CFR 890.5500] and they have a CPT code 97026 for doctors to bill insurance providers.
Why use TDP Lamps?
TDP lamps were invented by the Chongqing Silicate Research Institute (CSRI) headed by Mr. Gou Wenbin in 1985. The TDP lamps are similar to yet different from far infrared lamps. TDP lamps create mineral infrared waves that treat numerous ailments, a few common ones being back pain, shoulder pain, joint pain and arthritis. After an intense study by research institutes, hospitals, and schools, the TDP Lamp was invented to mimic the properties of the clay.
The key part of this lamp is its heat-treated black clay, which contains 33 different essential mineral elements. This ceramic plate emits a unique spectrum of invisible light in the infrared range of 2 to 25 microns, which is compatible with the BIO-spectrum waves released by the human body and allowing for maximum absorption. The absorbed energy promotes microcirculation, metabolism and strengthens immune system as well as tranquilized pain on the body.
TDP lamps may be used to reduce inflammation, tranquilize pain and improve micro-circulation, as well as stabilize the metabolism. Undisputed evidence has also shown that TDP is conducive to cell growth, multiplication and restoration, along with promotion of specific types of enzyme activity and immunity levels. TDP lamps are used by many national athletic teams, including ballet, soccer, martial arts, and the famous China women's Volleyball Olympic Team (champions of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics).
".... Device for localized treatment is a lamp on a stand. It's called the TDP Far-Infrared Therapeutic Lamp, and it can provide focused deep heating in therapeutic treatments such as those to increase blood circulation and metabolism. Clinical studies have shown some of the following benefits: decreased inflammation and edema from soft tissue injuries; promotion of circulation and healing; and balancing of the nervous system." - Alternative Medicine Magazine
What does TDP stand for?
TDP, or Te-Ding Dian-ci-bo Pu (Chinese for "Special Electromagnetic Spectrum") has been used in clinical applications in China and other Eastern Countries for over 20 years; the TDP machine has proven almost miraculously effective in treating ailments such as chronic wounds, joint pain, arthritis, back pain, injuries and some skin conditions like herpes and psoriasis etc. TDP has been widely used in China to treat over 100 chronic conditions.
What is the Far Infrared Mineral Lamp?
The Far Infrared Mineral Lamp was invented in China by a group of scientists and physicians headed by Dr. Gou Wenbin. This is a new type of therapeutic and health device, with the functions of promoting metabolism, regulating physiological deficiency, diminishing inflammation and easing pain. The Far Infrared Mineral Lamp has proven extraordinarily effective in treating numerous ailments such as muscular aches and pains, soft tissue injuries, arthritis and various skin conditions. Since introduced into clinic and family use in early 1980's, the Far Infrared Mineral Lamp has successfully treated up to 60 million patients in China, Hong Kong, South Asia, Japan, Europe, Australia and recently in North America. Due to its prominent therapeutic effects, the Far Infrared Mineral Lamp is known in China and Hong Kong as the Miracle Lamp.
HYPERTHERMIA FOR CHRONIC PAIN
"Fever is one of the body's most powerful defenses against disease. Hyperthermia (heat therapy) artificially induces fever in patients who are unable to mount a natural fever response to infection, inflammation, or other health challenges, and may be useful for treating chronic pain. A recent form of hyperthermia employs far-infrared (FIR) energy to treat a variety of disease conditions and to speed detoxification and recovery from muscle sprains and other injuries. Far-infrared wavelengths occur just below ("infra") visible red light in the electromagnetic spectrum. At the molecular level, FIR exerts strong rotational and vibrational effects that are biologically beneficial"
Although the wave lengths of FIR are too long for the eyes to perceive, we can experience its energy as gentle, radiant heat, which can penetrate up to [3.5] inches beneath the skin. Among FIR's healing benefits is its ability to stimulate inflammation, which is necessary for a period of time in order to heal injuries such as a pulled muscle. FIR also appears capable of enhancing white blood cell function, thereby increasing immune response and the elimination of foreign pathogens and cellular waste products. Additional benefits include the ability to stimulate the hypothalamus, which controls the production of neurochemicals involved in such biological processes as sleep, mood, pain sensations, and blood pressure enhancing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the body's soft tissue areas and the removing accumulated toxins by improving lymph circulation." Alternative Medicine, pg 670.
Unlike conventional infrared lamps and microwave therapeutic devices, the TDP Lamp features a round plate coated with a proprietary mineral formatting consisting of 33 elements essential to human body. When activated by the built-in electric heating element, the mineral plate emits a special band of electromagnetic waves ranging from 2-25(microns) in wavelength and 28-34 mw/ sq.cm in intensity that coincide with the wavelengths and intensity of the electromagnetic waves released by the human body and are consequently absorbed by the body. This absorbed electromagnetic energy has been found to yield therapeutic effects on the human body by (1) helping to generate various beneficial biochemical stimuli that body may lack due to illness, accident or injury; (2) accelerating the decomposition of unstable structures such as bad cells; (3) Enhancing the body's function of adjustment and immunity.
New studies show that an FDA-approved light-emitting device speeds the healing of wounds, even in difficult-to-treat diabetic ulcers. That's great news for the nation's 16 million diabetics and others who suffer from hard-to-treat chronic sores. Even better news: The latest study tested the device on diabetic neuropathy (loss of sensation or feeling), a previously irreversible condition that often leads to amputation. A joint study conducted at three Colorado medical centers followed 49 diabetics with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who had peripheral neuropathy in their feet. Most showed improvement after six 30-minute treatments. After 12 treatments, all had improved responses to standard tests that measure the impairment of sensation in diabetics, and their risk of amputation was greatly reduced. The study was presented last year at the American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions.
