![]() You are free to listen to them - who's stopping you? Perhaps they help some, perhaps they hurt many. The placebo effect is real, and the Internet is full of naturopaths, shamans, homeopaths, and crystal gazers, not to mention pseudoscientists, who advocate such wacky treatments. Perhaps they are not as rigorous about their real treatments: Thanks for taking the time to write, and your thoughtful words.There is evidence now that people who pursue such complementary treatments die sooner. Otherwise, let's be civil and allow folks to bring ideas to the forums without fear of ridicule. If a member here is about to do something dumb and harmful (like inject bleach into their bodies or take rat poison), then we should respectfully suggest they reconsider. Even if it is just the placebo effect and provides psychological and emotional comfort (hope?), that is part of healing process. It will vary by individual juts like many traditional and non-traditional treatments. You (or me) have no way of knowing whether the Biomat will be beneficial or not. but could you please restrain from being so sarcastic and negative about anything that is not SOC or in your playbook.

The website did not mention anything about cancer that I could find. The top end price was just under $2,000. ![]() The web site included:"The US FDA’s Medical Device 510K indications for use are as follows:Relaxation of musclesIncrease of local circulation where applied"You can receive the same benefits with a heating pad. The website did use the phrase FDA approved. The phrase "FDA approved" however for Class II and I devices in most cases simply means that it does more good than harm and can be satisfied by comparison to similar devices already on the market, say a heating pad.I did find one source for the biomat online. For the biomat it may be possible that it could be compared to a heating pad.I assume the poster meant to state "FDA approved device" as opposed to "FDA medical device". To show the "safety" of the device the manufacturer may only need to show the device is similar to another device and has the same safety as the similar device. In many cases all that is required is to show the device benefits out way the risks, and easy bar to cross. The FDA requires the manufacturer to provide testing data on the safety and efficacy of the device proving the benefits out way the risks. The other classes (II and I) the FDA does not necessarily require efficacy testing. It includes implantable devices such as pacemakers etc. From the FDA (and other) website:The FDA has 3 classifications for medical devices. The FDA does not create or manufacture any medical devices.Among its other responsibilities, the FDA does classify and monitor medical devices. Temps over 104° in hot tubs and baths is dangerous and temps approaching 120° can scald skin. Please don’t waste your money on expensive devices that aren’t approved for cancer treatment because some semi-anonymous forum members somehow connected that device to medically-supervised professional treatments with actual medical equipment.At best you’ll be out some money, at worst you might injure yourself.įirst the biomat is not an "FDA medical device". I do not know where to purchase one but I'm sure the internet sells them.īiomat is ONLY FDA approved for the following: temporary relief from minor spasms, minor sprains, minor strains, minor joint pain associated with arthritis, minor muscle pain and more.There is NO MENTION of using it as thermal treatment for killing cancer.Fact Check: does speak of FDA approved thermal treatments for some cancers. Thermal treatment is only approved using special medical equipment operated by medical professionals in a small number of clinics or treatment centers. There is NO HOME METHOD of thermal treatment approved, including hot showers, hot tubs, heating pads, soldering irons, or steam rooms/saunas. Thermal treatment requires prolonged direct exposure to temps up to 113°. It also increases the production of natural killer cells and lymphocytes that reduce fatigue and relieves pain. The mat heats to 113 degrees, which helps damage and kill cancer cells with little or no harm to normal tissue. The Biomat is an FDA medical device (NOT APPROVED FOR CANCER TREATMENT)that combines state of the art far infrared light and negative Ion technology with the healing power of Amethyst (The healing stones) crystal.
