In the early 2000’s Mr. Besner suffered a personal trauma when his otherwise active, healthy teenage
daughter, became seriously ill and was finally diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease. Concerned about
the substantial antibiotic treatments suggested by the few healthcare practitioners that would actually
treat Lyme disease, Mr. Besner began to research and investigate holistic alternative avenues of
treatment. This research quickly brought him to the many studies and successes of Far
Infrared heat, to help the body naturally detoxify. Recognizing the extensive need for this technology in
the western hemisphere, Therasage was formed to advance the applied science of Infrared.
