IT'S A TOXIC WORLD

Today more than 77,000 chemicals are in active production in this country. 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. It's true that 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. 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

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, poor concentration and many others.

DETOX DETOX DETOX

Infrared sauna is recognized by health practitioners worldwide as perhaps the most effective method of removing both chemical and heavy metal toxins from the body.

 

"A sauna used to be thought of as a luxury. But studies now confirm that diet and environmental chemicals cause 95% of all cancers. Furthermore, as the first generation of man exposed to such an unprecedented plethora of daily chemicals we have learned that stored or un-detoxified 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."

IMMUNE SYSTEM

A typical sauna session will cause a brief and minor increase in body temperature, identical to the body's defense mechanism against bacteria, microbes and consequent infection. The beneficial side effect triggers the production of while blood cells (leukocytes) by your bone marrow and killer T cells by your thymus. The result is immune system improvement.

CARDIOVASCULAR CONDITIONING

A 20-30 minute session in an Infrared Sauna has the effect on the cardiovascular system similar to that from a six mile run. The body's natural reaction to heat is to cool itself. It does this by diverting blood from internal organs to the extremities and skin. This increases heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate. Medical research indicates that use of infrared sauna therapy may be as effective a means of cardiovascular conditioning as regular exercise. This is especially important to those individuals who are not physically capable of exercising. NASA concluded in the 1980's that far infrared stimulation is the ideal way for astronauts to maintain cardiovascular conditioning during long space flights.

WEIGHT CONTROL

Infrared therapy sauna assists in weight loss in three significant ways:

•  It effectively reduces heavy metals, which have been directly related to metabolic imbalances in the body, causing poor digestion and weight gain.
•  The infrared sauna decreases fat stored (lipophilic) toxins. Often time's weight loss cannot be accomplished unless these toxins are moved first.
•  Although weight loss due to perspiration (water loss) is quickly regained, sending more blood to the capillaries and converting fats and carbohydrates results in as much has 600 calories burned during one short sauna session.

CELLULITE

Because cellulite is a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and waste products trapped near the surface of the skin, use of the infrared sauna is very beneficial. Infrared therapy is especially effective in cellulite removal when used in conjunction with a program including diet and massage.

STRESS

Continuous strain on the autonomic nervous system often leads to a high level of stress; one of the elusive causes of many chronic diseases. By facilitating the expansion of capillary vessels thereby improving circulation, stress levels are reduced.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Infrared saunas are a serious method of detoxification and, as such, should be used responsibly. Those patients with severe adrenal suppression, Lupus or Multiple Sclerosis should discuss far infrared therapy with their doctor prior to use. Use of far infrared therapy for hemophiliacs is contraindicated. Pregnant women and nursing mothers should also refrain from using this therapy. If you are under a doctor's care, always consult him/her prior to use.

INFRARED SAUNAS vs TRADITIONAL HIGH HEAT SAUNAS

Traditional high heat saunas operate at temperatures of 180 o F to 220 o F. Most people cannot tolerate this high temperature for very long and it causes the mucous membranes to dry out. This is why water or steam is introduced. Patients use the far infrared saunas at between 100 degrees F to 130 F. This feels like a warm dry room and the perspiration characteristics are significantly improved. Not only does the perspiration contain more toxins and less water but also more toxins will be expelled out through your kidneys, liver and even hair due to "resonant absorption". This resonant absorption is said to occur when the frequency of the far infrared matches the frequency of the water in the cell. This causes toxins from the cells to be put out into the blood stream and excreted in sweat, feces and urine.

Also, Infrared Saunas:

•  Constructed of hypoallergenic poplar wood, not cedar.
•  Significant detoxification due to "resonant absorption".
•  Are safer. (No hot surfaces. No high temperatures.)

IN CONCLUSION

You should use Far infrared sauna therapy if:

•  You have chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, mercury poisoning, any of the symptoms previously mentioned or
•  You are struggling with heavy metal or multi-chemical toxicity or
•  You are in good health and wish to remain in good health by lowering your toxic burden
•  You are a health practitioner treating patients with the above conditions.

In combination with Colonics, the Ionic Footbath, Lymphatic Drainage therapy, etc., or as a stand alone treatment, the Far Infrared Sauna can be a powerful addition to your Detoxification process. See costs sheet for more details about the Far-Infrared Sauna.
