What is FIR? You might remember from your high school physics class that the sun is eight minutes from the earth at the speed of light. The sun is the source for most of our light, and it creates solar radiation. That radiation is electromagnetic, and it’s defined by wavelength. The whole electromagnetic spectrum contains what we see (i.e., visible light), but it also contains six other components: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves (IR), ultraviolet waves (UV), X-rays, and gamma rays. The wavelength for visible light falls between IR and UV. (1) Our sensory systems process sunlight in several ways....

Our body's immune system is a scheme designed to generate a synchronized and defensive response to the intrusion of foreign substances, called antigens into the body. It is organizationally split up into Innate (or natural) immune system, Adaptive (or acquired) immune system. The innate immune system comprises of the body's early intrinsic defense mechanisms, including skin and mucous membranes; white blood cells like monocytes, macrophages and neutrophils; and the complement system. Activation of the adaptive immune system occurs after the antigens breach the above-mentioned barriers of the natural/innate immune system; the adaptive arm of the immune system renders a long lasting...
