Early in 1970, physicist Mr. W. B. Gow, was appointed the Director of a century-old ceramic factory in a rural area of central China. The factory offered extremely poor working conditions, and the building was in need of major repairs. The workers at the factory stood in the mud throughout much of their work day. He quickly recognized these adverse working conditions and became deeply concerned that the workers would be troubled with arthritis and other related ailments due to standing on the sodden floor for long periods of time.

However, his investigation disclosed that the side effects of standing on the damp ground were the opposite of his original concerns. It was found that there was not a single case of arthritis among the workers employed at the ceramic factory. After interviewing elderly factory employers, the same findings were indicated: no residual effects of any kind were found among the people who had been employed at the factory. It was also learned that there had been no known cases of cancer among the factory's past or present employees. His findings also noted that the ceramic factory workers sustained a relatively longer life span than that experienced by the average population living in the surrounding area.

Intrigued with the discovery, experiments were conducted to probe further into the reasoning for this strange phenomenon. Using a spectrometer, scientists made a complete walk-through of the factory building. At the kiln area their meters picked up a strong, unique spectrum with a wavelength range of 2 to 25 micrometers, which is a narrow band of infrared spectrum. Closer inspection monitored the spectrum to a black deposit fused to the oven's long conveyor belt.

After studied, it was learned that the kiln produced temperatures in excess of 400^o Centigrade, and had fired the black clay deposit that was emitting the unusual spectrum, and the frequency of the heat treated clay was measured and analyzed to contain 33 different trace elements, such as Fe Iron, Se Selenium, Mn Manganese, Zn Zinc, Co Cobalt, Ni Nickel, Cu Copper, Cd Cadmium, etc., in 43 various chemical binding forms that are biologically necessary to the human body.

It was at this time that Dr. Chi became deeply involved in the prospects of utilizing mineral infrared frequencies for general therapeutic effects. He saw the tremendous potential that this type of treatment could offer the people all over the world. Now he was determined to spread the good news of this amazing new form of therapy.

Experimentation and testing of the MIT TDP began immediately. By 1979, 36 Universities, 45 Graduate Schools, 41 Research Institutes 250 Hospitals and many thousand Medical Doctors, other Health Practitioners and researchers formulated an international TDP society for the purpose of performing clinical studies related to the effects of Mineral Infrared Therapy.

By the end of 1985, the MIT TDP has been successfully used to treat over 30 million people, in countries around the world. By its multitude use, it confirmed that the MIT TDP had the recuperative capacity to alleviate inflammation, pain and improve micro-circulation, as well as stabilize the metabolism. Undisputed evidence was gathered substantiating that the use of MIT was conducive to cell growth, multiplication and restoration, along with the promotion of specific types of enzyme activity and immunity levels. With the cell growth in prominence, the anti-aging factors are in this manner increasing longevity. This was the beginning of MIT TDP, its development and the ultimate discovery of the MIT TDP that was soon to earn the name, "The Miracle Lamp", even though it does not give off any visible light.

The Mineral Infrared Therapy MIT TDP has been in regular use by many national athletic troops, including ballet, soccer, martial arts and the famous China Women's Volleyball Olympic Team members, champions of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. In 1988, MIT TDP was registered by the FDA for the use in the United States.
