Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Fred, I had both and I did not like the little FIR tent. Very difficult to get an overall exposure. I eventually bought one of those lie down, sliding sauna for $1600 and like it a lot. I alternate with ozone saunas. It is identical to the ones selling for $2495 and up. I think I can still get them through a friend who imports them and sells them to resellers only. I have not spoken to him for months. I am happier with the $1600 FIR than I was with the $650+- one that I had. Anyone want to buy a used FIR tent sauna??? :-) Best wishes and much love, Ken Ken Gullan Institute for Research Integration (IRI), San Diego, CA 92106-2424 IRI is a 501C(3) non-profit corporation established to help children with developmental difficulties.

Is it worth the expense of getting a FIR sauna tent, when I already have a steam sauna tent?

Is one of the problems with the FIR tent, that you don't get the high heat levels that you should? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem & item=5547919388 Does the lie down sliding sauna surround you with FIR panels? What benefits have you seen, using the FIR and the steam saunas, versus just using the (ozone) steam sauna? >Anyone want to buy a used FIR tent sauna??? :-) These are selling new on Ebay for a lot less than the $650 that you paid for it...

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 i don't know about the tent versions, but i was doing one of those wood box fir saunas for a year or so and the benefits were alot different than ozone. for one thing i hardly sweat in a steam sauna. in the fir sauna i was sweating profusely. after about a year my dyslexia was gone. ozone made the dyslexia worse... guessing because it was stirring things up and i was unable to excrete them (mercury?) the wood box units use 150watt ceramic coated heaters. apparently the wattage and number of heaters are important. at first i was skeptical about the lack of total body coverage, but i talked to the manufacturer and they said that as long as it heats up your blood then the blood will circulate and heat your whole body. i also think that the ambient temperature is important as well, meaning the air temp in the room. i think it is better to have your whole body enclosed in the sauna instead of having your head pop out because you lose heat through your head.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Art, IF you could only have one, which would it be? Since the ozone made the dyslexia return, and you think it was due to stirred up mercury, can I conclude the ozone did a deeper detox?

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 < IF you could only have one, which would it be?> unfair question, and my mind doesn't work like that. fir saunas are not that expensive and during the summer time they are free if you have a car... just sit in it when it is very hot out and you will sweat alot if you are properly hydrated (separate issue and this does not necessarily mean drinking lots of water) i was recently researching fir elements. the actual heaters they use in the box saunas cost about 30 dollars retail each. i imagine a person could build an effective one person sauna with 4 or 5 of these elements. so 150 bucks for the heaters, then some sort of box and then the wiring. not too expensive. it would be great if someone could come up with an easily uninstallable retrofit fir heater system for saul's steam unit, then we'd have something. and then there is jim who sometimes posts on this list that claims you can just use two fir heaters in the bathroom to get a good sweat. certainly worth looking into. > the dyslexia return, and you think it was due to stirred up mercury, > can I conclude the ozone did a deeper detox? > the ozone definitely is activating the mercury. i don't fully understand the mechanism for this, but i've made some intuitive guesses in my mind. for me, ozone is a nutrient. or rather this is how i use it. i have required liver flushes, sauna, and other means to actually get stuff out of me. i never had a single rash from the ozone no matter how much i do. and i also happen to think that ozone is not necessarily a good therapy to use if you are mercury toxic. i may change my view on this if i ever actually do get well. but for the time being i am very cautious about ozone /mercury. the phrase 'deeper detox' doesn't necessarily have any meaning to me although i think i know what you mean. the devil is in the details or at least this has been my experience so far. gail, with your situation and all the rashes, i would certainly look into the fir saunas. maybe try to find someone who lives near you and test it out. that's what i did initially and after one try i was sold.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I agree, it is like comparing apples and oranges, each type of sauna provides its own unique benefits. Some people may benefit from one type, others may benefit from the other type, and still others may only see the best results with a combination of the two modalities. Inside a car during the summer does make a great FIR sauna, but I've found that unless a person has gotten their body accustomed to sweating they might find it uncomfortable. Those green porta-pottys also make excellent saunas during the summer, but the aroma therapy leaves much to be desired. I also agree that hydration is more than drinking water. Some people are drinking tons of water but their bodies are not able to take it in so it goes from the stomach to the bladder. Metabolism, CO2 levels, and electrolyte levels all come into play.

Yes I've used Jims two heater method and it definately works. I sweated profusely and it detoxed me enough to clear up my sinus problems. The two heaters only cost about $320. > > >> the dyslexia return, and you think it was due to stirred up mercury, >> can I conclude the ozone did a deeper detox? >> > > the ozone definitely is activating the mercury. i don't fully understand > the mechanism for this, but i've made some intuitive guesses in my mind. > for > me, ozone is a nutrient. or rather this is how i use it. i have required > liver flushes, sauna, and other means to actually get stuff out of me. i > never had a single rash from the ozone no matter how much i do. and i also > happen to think that ozone is not necessarily a good therapy to use if you > are mercury toxic. i may change my view on this if i ever actually do get > well. but for the time being i am very cautious about ozone /mercury. the > phrase 'deeper detox' doesn't necessarily have any meaning to me although > i > think i know what you mean. the devil is in the details or at least this > has > been my experience so far. > > gail, with your situation and all the rashes, i would certainly look into > the fir saunas. maybe try to find someone who lives near you and test it > out. that's what i did initially and after one try i was sold. > > > > > OxyPLUS is an unmoderated e-ring dealing with oxidative therapies, and > other alternative self-help subjects. > > THERE IS NO MEDICAL ADVICE HERE! > > This list is the 1st Amendment in action.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Those porta john's are nothing more than an enclosed area with a seat. I am thinking it would not be difficult to build simple sitting room of fiberglas panels. Start with a seat and fasten panels to that tapering at the roof. Any open corners could be covered in fiberglass mating and epoxied over. The roof would slope a little to let rain run off and be made of a fiberglass panel. What type panel would admit an optimum amount of fir.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I don't know if it is so much the type panel, but the color. Green is going to reflect the green light and allow absorption of red and I assume absorb more of the suns IR rays too. This is going to require a warm sunny environment to work. If your not near the equator right now, it will probably not be very effective this time of year. All the best, Jim > Those porta john's are nothing more than an enclosed area with a > seat.
