'YOUR
SUPERIOR DETOX SOLUTION'
Why Are Daily Sweats Beneficial?
I
know, sweating doesn't have a glamorous connotation. However, used
correctly, it purifies the body like no other modality. Combined with
the unique penetrating effects of infrared heat, and you have multiplied
the benefits of stimulating sweat detoxification.Traditional wisdom has
suggested that saunas work largely by promoting detoxification through
the sweat but saunas also stimulate cells to release toxins, which can
then be eliminated by the liver and bowel. Several published studies
have now shown that this hyperthermic therapy can bring about the rapid
removal of a wide range of toxic substances from the human body.The far
infrared energy emitted in these saunas may induce two to three times
the sweat volume of conventional saunas, yet they operate at a much
cooler air temperature range: from 70 to 150 degrees F. compared with
180 to 235 degrees F. in a conventional sauna.Table of contentsFar-infrared

Dr. Toshiko Yamazaki, MD owns an infrared therapy clinic in Japan where
she has done extensive research on the uses of Far Infrared Therapy or
Infrared Light Therapy. In her book, "The Science of Far-Infrared
Therapies," she explains that one of the reasons FIR (Far Infrared
Therapy) has beneficial results in a variety of illnesses is the ability
of FIR waves to remove toxins with mercury detoxification, which is
often at the core of many health problems. Since humans are
bio-accumulators, numerous toxins that disturb natural body healing and
cannot be removed immediately after entry are stored in our bodies and
prevent future natural body healing. A 10 micron far-infrared light wave
reaches up to 2 inches deep inside the body's tissuecellular vibration
occurs when the light waves penetrate the cells and reach the large
water moleculesthis vibration reduces the ion bonds of the atoms that
are holding together the molecules of water.
Detoxification and Far Infrared Therapy
When toxic gases such as sulphur dioxide and carbon dioxide or toxic
substances such as lead, mercury, or chlorine meet large water
molecules, water clusters encapsulate them. Where these toxins
accumulate, blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is
impaired. Mercury detoxification begins when a 10 micron Far Infrared
Therapy wave is applied to these large water molecules and the water
begins to vibrate. This vibration reduces the ion bonds of the atoms
that are holding together the molecules of water. As the vibration
continues, breakdown of the water molecules occurs and encapsulated
gases and other toxic materials are released. Scientists in Japan report
that in the Far Infrared Therapy wave treatment of clogged capillary
vessels, a similar process occurs: heat expands the capillaries from Far
Infrared Therapy and then initiates the process to dissolve hidden
toxins. Far Infrared Therapy also helps to improve nervous disorders,
digestive disorders, weight loss, and normalize blood pressure.
Heat Treatments Get Rid of
Toxins
By Raymond Francis, M.Sc.
Reprinted from "Never Be Sick Again"
Not only do saunas feel good, they are good! Saunas get your heart
beating and your blood circulating, helping the body to detoxify in
unique and important ways. Toxins do the damage, and saunas help with
damage control.
Saunas or other treatments help to accomplish detoxification in the
following manner: A layer of fat and oil exists just below the surface
of the skin. Heat from the sauna increases skin temperature, causing
those fats and oils to "melt" and ooze out of the skin's oil glands. As
sweat and oil are secreted, the toxins dissolved in them are secreted as
well. By excreting these toxins and then washing them off your body,
your toxic load is lowered and cellular health improves.Choose a
temperature that can be tolerated for an extended period of time-thirty
minutes to an hour or more. The point is not to sweat out a lot of
water, but to rid your body of oil-soluble toxins.
Our skin contains sweat glands and oil glands, both of which help us
detoxify. Sweat gets rid of water-soluble toxins, and even helps to
eliminate toxic heavy metals such as mercury and cadmium. Oil glands
help remove oil-soluble toxins that the body would otherwise have a
difficult time eliminating. We have created a world filled with
oil-soluble toxins such as gasoline, solvents, pesticides and
ingredients in toothpaste and personal care products, and the body is
not able to dispose of them efficiently.
The longer the skin is heated, the more oil-soluble toxins are
eliminated. Be careful not to overheat! The challenge is finding an
environment where you can keep your skin temperature up for an extended
period of time without overheating or dehydrating. Overheating and
perhaps feeling dizzy can happen easily if you stay in a steam room, a
hot tub or the top bench of a hot sauna too long. Choose a "low
temperature" sauna (110-120 degrees), and use it for an extended period
of time-an hour or more is best though you may have to work up to this
duration gradually. Remember: Drinking adequate amounts of water before,
during and after your sauna is essential in order to prevent
dehydration. A good supplement program, containing fat-mobilizing
vitamins and essential fatty acids makes the sauna even more effective.
Be sure to shower afterwards; prevent those toxins from reabsorbing back
into your body by washing with a nontoxic Castile soap.
Taking saunas or other "heat treatments" is not a luxury, but like
exercise, is a physical responsibility and an important element of the
physical responsibility and an important element of the physical
pathway. Incorporating saunas after exercise is even better. Exercise
begins to mobilize toxins and saunas continue the process. You may need
to make a few sauna visits before you can tolerate extended periods of
time, but the benefits of these heat treatments are incredible. These
treatments feel good for very good reasons; they provide beneficial
physical stimulation-including increased lymphatic and cardiovascular
circulation, as well as the removal of toxins-all of which are good for
the health and function of your cells.
Its a Toxic World
Today more than 77,000 chemicals are in active production. Our exposure
to these chemicals is greater than at any time. More than 3,000
chemicals are added to our food supply. More than 10,000 chemicals in
the form of solvents, emulsifiers and preservatives are used in food
processing and storage. When ingested these chemicals can remain in the
body for years, altering our metabolism, causing enzyme dysfunction and
nutritional deficiencies, creating hormonal imbalances and lowering our
threshold of resistance to chronic disease. We are continually subjected
to poor air quality, chemically contaminated food and water, household
cleansers, paint fumes, pharmaceutical drugs, pesticides, heavy metals
(including mercury) and the list goes on and on. Today, studies show
that most of us have between 400 and 800 chemical residues stored in the
fat cells of our bodies. These chemicals and heavy metals make up the
"total toxic burden". When our bodies exceed the limit that we can
excrete, we begin to store these toxins. This bioaccumulation seriously
compromises our physiological and psychological health and leads to
chronic disease.
Toxicity Symptoms
The following symptoms are often related to toxicity: allergies, acne,
anxiety, burning skin, brain fog, chronic fatigue, chemical
sensitivities, depression, eczema, frequent colds or flu, feeling "sick
all over", insomnia, loss of dexterity, low body temperature, memory
loss, mood swings, muscle and joint pains and poor concentration. If you
have three of more of the above symptoms, you should strongly consider
Our High Tech Health Far Infrared Sauna.
Detox, Detox, Detox
Far Infrared Saunas are recognized by health practitioners worldwide as
perhaps the most effective method of removing both chemical and heavy
metal toxins from the body. The combination of "resonant absorption" and
low heat makes this the detox method of choice for chronically ill
patients as well as those that are well and wish to stay that way by
reducing their "toxic burden".
"A sauna used to be thought of as a luxury. But studies now confirm
that diet and environmental chemicals cause 95% of cancers. Furthermore,
as the first generation of man exposed to such an unprecedented plethora
of daily chemicals, we have learned that stored or undetoxified
chemicals can mimic any disease. "Incurable" chronic diseases that were
thought to have no known cause often disappear once toxic chemicals are
gone. Since the far infrared sauna is the safest, most efficacious and
economical way of depurating stored toxins, this makes it a household
necessity."

Our methods of eliminating toxins in the body are few. We are limited to
expelling via the bowel, urine, perspiration and respiration. When the
liver, kidneys and lungs have been damaged by chronic exposure to
environmental toxins our ability to rid our bodies of toxins becomes
severely limited. Through various methods we can cleanse the liver and
kidneys, which will help us address future toxins, but we are still left
with the fat-stored (lipophilic) toxins and heavy metals stored in
connective tissue and the brain.
Detox: Infrared Sauna vs. Conventional Sauna
In
one study performed by American researchers, the sweat of people using a
conventional sauna was found to be 95 to 97% water while the sweat of
those using an infrared LuxSauna system was 80 to 85% water with the
non-water portion principally cholesterol, fat-soluble toxins, toxic
heavy metals (such as mercury and aluminum), sulfuric acid, sodium,
ammonia and uric acid. This unusually high concentration of heavy metals
and other fat-soluble toxins is not found in the sweat from normal
exercise. Mercury is the most toxic element on earth, second only to
plutonium.
Hyperthermic detoxification using these saunas is not only uniquely
helpful in removing fat-stored toxins from the body, but also as an
adjunct to mercury removal. Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., of Seattle,
who has been called "the holistic doctors' doctor and teacher," is one
of the pioneers in combining the use of far-infrared saunas with the
chelating agent DMPS in a heavy metal detox protocol.
Dr. Klinghardt explains, "Since hyperthermic sauna therapy removes metal
contaminants from the body, we have found that it may be used to further
the benefits derived from chelation therapy. And we have also found that
it may be an alternative for those who are unable to undergo chelation.
Research conducted by U.S. scientists has demonstrated that close to 80%
of individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome will improve markedly by a
guided detoxification program. We combine this approach with
hyperthermic therapy using the far-infrared sauna, as well as exercise
and chelation. The results we are seeing are very promising."
Dr. Klinghardt adds, "If far-infrared saunas work, why wait to use them?
People need information about what nutrients and minerals to take, how
to stay hydrated, and a reminder to shower after the sauna. It's not
going to do much good to spend time detoxifying if you don't wash off
those toxins afterwards. And don't overlook the importance of educating
yourself and your children about sources of environmental toxins and
allergens. Your future health depends on it!"
Did you know . . .
Radiant heat therapy will improve your general skin tone through
increased blood circulation and low temperature perspiration. An
increase in blood circulation encourages a healthy flow of nutrients to
your skin that in turn helps to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, and
burns.
It will also encourage the healing of lesions and minor cuts.
Perspiration purges clogged pores of deeply imbedded impurities and dead
skin cells, leaving you with glowing, radiant skin.
