Arms	Assigned Interventions
1	Radiation: Far Infrared Radiation Far Infrared Radiation (5μm to 20μm wavelength) for 30 to 40 minutes each treatment session.

Detailed Description:

Our initial assessment indicates that electromagnetic radiation of the central nervous system, the viscera and the endocrine system has the potential to cure a number of diseases, including prostate cancer.
