TDP stands for “Te_diing Dian-ci-bo Pu”, that is the Pin Yin pronunciation for “Special Electromagnetic Spectrum”. Te-Ding means means special. Dian-ci-bo Means electromagnetic and Pu means Spectrum. It is a new type of device invented in China in 1980 by a group of scientists and physicians, headed by Dr. Gou Wenbin at the Chinese Medicine Institute in Chongqing Unlike conventional infrared therapeutic devices, the TDP Machine features a plate coated with a proprietary mineral formation consisting of 33 elements. When heated by an electric heating element, this mineral plate emits a special band of electromagnetic waves in the infrared range of 2 – 50 microns which simulate the Bio-Spectrum waves released by the human body itself. In clinical applications in China and other Eastern Countries for over 10 years, the TDP machine has proven itself to be 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 . Studies done in China show TDP Machines are effective for more than 100 ailments. It is also widely used in China to promote and maintain health . Since it was introduced into clinic and home use in the early 1980′s, the TDP machine, because of its ease and flexibility of use and absolute safety, has treated up to 60 million patients in China, Asia, Europe, Japan, Korea, Australia and recently North America.

Human body responds differently to EMW of different wave lengths. Visible light waves (with wave length between 0.5 micron to 0.9 micron) are simply bounced off the body surface and the body feels nothing. The human body perceives near infrared as heat. The near infrared is mostly absorbed at the skin level and raises the skin temperature (so-called selective absorption).

The body also feels heat with far infrared. However, far infrared penetrates beyond the skin level and propagates deeper into the body. In addition, far infrared is absorbed more efficiently by the cells below the skin level as well as at the skin level. Therefore, the heating effect generated by far infrared is much deeper. Since the ability of the body to sense heat is taking place at the skin level, the body can not readily distinguish the skin level heating effect from the deeper heating effect. The deep heating effect produced by far infrared promotes bioprocesses such as increased metabolism, increased blood circulation and has found to yield therapeutic effects on the human body by

1. Helping generate various beneficial biochemical stimuli that the body may lack due to illness, accident or injury.
2. Accelerating the decomposition of unstable structures like dead cells
3. Enhancing the body’s function of adjustment and immunity.
These biological functions allow the mineral infrared device to give users effects such as:
1.The relief of muscular aches and pains caused by arthritis and soft tissue injuries
2.The alleviation of inflammation and edema from soft tissue injuries
3.The assistance in the healing of skin disorders
4.The balancing of the nervous system
5.The promotion of healing effects on internal organs
6.The treatment of bone fractures
