I'm curious about this. Does just being near a space heater work? Isn't all heat infrared light?

  Yes - not as intense, but that's not nec bad. Oil filled heaters are an esp reliable, but sunlight has lots of red and infrared, too. Melanin can probably make good use of infrared light (and other intense light) to help sterilize whatever is passing through your interstitium. Given the Epstein-Barr connection that might (or might not) be helpful.

  From what I saw it is the near infrared (close to visible light) that is more effective. I tried with an space heater with a reflector: https://www.costco.ca/presto-heatdish-plus-tilt-parabolic-heater.product.100752388.html https://www.costco.ca/presto-heatdish-plus-tilt-parabolic-he... My reasoning was that it emit all infrared even visible red light. It worked really well for me. Got my eczema under control after a few days at 1h/day. But from what I saw in the research papers the inflammation is from cellular respiration (affect all the body) and the results of this inflammation can manifest in all kinds of ways. You can also feel it, it’s soothing, much more than just a more heated room. I think that we used to have that infrared before with fireplaces in colder climate, but now it’s almost all gone.
