Saunas & mineral depletion

[Guest guest]

We are looking to purchase an infrared sauna. Does anyone here use

one and have you had to increase your iodine specifically while using

one.? How about other minerals? Would you use your normal

supplemental amounts?

I used one a neighbor has last summer for about 30 minutes daily. In

August I had one of the worst cases of fibrocystic breast flareups

yet. I'm guessing the sauna sweating contributed to a lower iodine

level. But it wasn't the only thing as I also was back on a small dose

of armour thyroid and had cut my iodine levels down to around 12 mgs

of iodine.

I'm back up to 35-50mgs now and don't use any thyroid. So far no problems.

I've no idea how much if any the sweating depleted my iodine. You can

google and find references to iodine in the sweat though.
