Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 I've been kind of lost in the posts regarding the infrared sauna. This is really intriguing to me though. Can someone tell me alittle about it. I read in one of the posts that it is light that penetrates the skin? I know this is repetitive but I can't find where the post on the infrared sauna actually begins! You can put this in your house? Oh cool. My husband has entertained the thought of having a regular sauna put in.. like the ones in the gym I guess with the hot rocks or something. I'm just wondering how much something like this (infrared) costs and where to find info on it. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Dawn, The information posted on infrared saunas here recently is excellent. I suggest you do a web search for " far infrared sauna therapy " . Each manufacturer has a different way of expressing the benefits with studies, etc. The price can vary from low $100's if you build your own, to thousands, if you buy one. I bought a sauna a couple years ago . . . A two-person HealthMate. . . I think it's wonderful! Far infrared light has healing properties that dry or steam saunas don't have .. . Although sweating is beneficial. Infrared light penetrates the tissues and heats them without heating the air much. The light alone is beneficial, even for those who don't tolerate heat well. If I were to do it again, I would consider a unit that I could lay down in! . . . There are portable ones you could do that in . . . but I don't know about their temperature range. The only big advantage to the HealthMate is that their infrared light units have a lifetime warranty on them. They are using far infrared saunas at Mayo clinic now, and Tom Cruise (member of L.Ron Hubbard's Church of Scientoloty) purchased a number of the units to be used to help the rescue workers from 9/11 - Many of these workers are very ill now. My daughter is an occupational therapist. She's using infrared pads on Alzehimer's patients for long standing open wounds, inflammed joints and peripheral neuropathy. . . The success is outstanding. There is no limit to how many, or how long the treatments are given - as opposed to ultrasound treatments. You don't get placebo effects with Alzehimer's patients. The goal is to help them maintain basic functions so they don't need extensive personal care. I really like the idea that one could convert a closet into an infrared sauna. . . That would give many people an opportunity to have a sauna very inexpensively. I spend my time in the sauna reading, or listening to the radio. At the time I was taking homeopathic remedies to deacidify my body, I was sweating profusely almost immediately. However, now it takes me some time to start. I've recently started staying in the sauna until I do start sweating freely - almost an hour. When I used the steam or dry sauna at the local Natatorium, I felt exhausted after using it. With infrared, I feel energized. I highly recommend them for anyone! . . . The only precaution is to drink plenty of water before, during and after the sauna. If you're sweating profusely, be sure to take additional water soluable vitamins. . . A, D, E, and K are fat soluable. . . You need to take more of the rest.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Dearest Rogene: Thank you for asking this question. I'm not sure if the first two were fatty particles or blood. The last one they did a V-Q Scan and it was blood clots in my lungs. They told me that I would die, but because of the intervention with massive doses of blood thinners and of course IV's, oxygen and god only knows what else they did to me. There were so many doctors in the glass room that I was in. A specialist told me that I did not know where I was or what day it was, this frightened all of them. My family doctor was giving orders and we believe that he saved my life. The first PE in 1998 the doctor told us that I had a blood clot, but he sent me home and told me that I could drop dead in the parking lot. He has been fired over this because he should never have sent me home. The second blood clot was in 2000 when I was rushed to hospital in respiratory distress. They said that I also had walking pneumonia, but a doctor who walked me around to see how my breathing was told me he believed that I had another PE. The symptoms were the same all three times. Sweetheart, we will never know if they were blood clots or fatty particles. Even with a V-Q Scan it is very hard to tell the difference. They are looking at my case very carefully, they have taken a special interest in my case as well!!! Our sauna is the old type with coals, you have to pour water on the coals when they get hot, I'm afraid of this sauna....what thinks thee? I love you....Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``````````````````````````````````````` Re: infrared sauna > > Lea, > > Is your sauna an infared sauna? . . . > > It might be worth modifying it by putting in a window > . . . whatever it takes to make it comfortable for > you. > > Infrared light really does help with nerve function. > According to studies, patients with peripheral > neuropathy have shown positive results after only one > treatment. > > I've gone from having my feet numb (could feel > pressure, but not needle sticks), to having ticklish > feet. > > If you already have a sauna, it certainly would be > worth a try! > > BTW, did they ever determine that your PE was caused > by a blob of silicone, or a blood clot? . . .

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Dear Lea, The " old fashioned " saunas are beneficial too . . . but not nearly as easy on the body, or as beneficial as the infrared saunas. I used the both the dry heat and steam saunas at our community Natatorium . . . I would feel wiped out afterwards. With the infrared, I feel energized. L.Ron Hubbard recommended the regular saunas when he wrote his book. I don't think far infrared was available. The Scientology church set up detox centers across the country to use his program. . . In fact, the Environmental Center in Dallas used them for detoxing people too. . . A local chiropractor told me he used the local sauna for a L.Ron Hubbard-like detox . . . He stayed in for about six hours a day for 3-4 weeks, coming out for cool showers when he felt the need. He is emphatic that the sauna was beneficial for him. To me, that sounds very taxing - but that's along the lines of what Hubbard recommends in " Clear Body, Clear Mind " . Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Cherie It is so good to hear you feeling upbeat! I hope that continues. Yes you can get strange herxes from the sauna. My most frequent herx from the sauna is a headache, and strangely enough, increased muscle spasms and tendon pain. But since I herx like that to everything else, I know it is a herx. I hope your taper continues to work well. I am confident that eventually you will not need to do tapers. But if you have to, don't despair. There were plenty of people on the antibiotic protocol who kept on the prednisone until the antibiotics had had enough of a chance to work to reduce pain. The big mistake is when people allow imflammation unchecked. I know that the antibiotic therapy can't even reach its target properly when imflammation is severe enough. I would think that would hold true with other therapies as well. Let us know what Dr. Leu has to say.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Kathy, it's a project management job. Same kind of work I was doing before I got downsized. I notice that when I'm at school during the day, I don't dwell on my symptoms as much - plus during the day my symptoms are better usually than they are at night. On the days I don't have school, I seem to feel more depressed and sometimes cry about all the things that have happened this past year - so it's much better for me to be busy. I'd love to be a career student, but unemployment is running out and it's time to go back to work. I keep saying if we win the lottery, I'm going to go to school until I've got a PhD in something, and then my husband will have to call me Doctor!! Thanks!!

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I researched the differences between the two a few weeks ago because I already have a steam room at my house. Sweat produced in a steam room doesn't have the level of toxins that sweat produced from a far infrared sauna has. I don't remember the figures but it was substantial. Rogene probably knows this.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Here's the difference, from the website I sent: Sweat from an Infrared sauna is 15- 20% toxins. Principally, cholesterol, fat-soluble toxins, toxic heavy metals, 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. IR saunas generate 2-3 times the perspiration produced in conventional hot-air saunas Sweat from a conventional sauna was found to be 3-5% toxins. --- In , Kenda Skaggs <skaggs@...> wrote: > > I researched the differences between the two a few weeks ago because I > already have a steam room at my house.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Sure! . . . It's just that infrared is more effective.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 HI, I used a steam sauna at my gym for a long time until I could save enough money for the infrared. I think the steam helped. But, ever since I have been using the infrared my health has improved more in three months than it had in 3 years. I worked up to one hour in the sauna gradually and make sure I drink lots of water, gatorade and/or use an electrolyte solution added to water by E-Lyte. The E-Lyte product is the best because it has no sugar with electrolytes but it is somewhat expensive. I think if you eat a banana and juice raw vegetables that might be as good or better. Maybe just eat lots of vegetables in the raw state on the day that you use the sauna and drink alot of H2O.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hi - thanks girls for all of your info on the IR saunas. I have decided to get a one month membership (only $50) for unlimited use, although they don't recommend more than 3-4 times a week. I am going to go this morning again. I have been reading all the posts, but life has been a whirlwind the last week or so,and I don't get to post much. But thankfully, I feel good and am keeping up!

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Cherie, I have MCS and use an infrared sauna. The one I bought is portable made by Arizona Sun. It was $599.00 and worth every penny. FYI Penni Re: Infrared Sauna Hi - thanks girls for all of your info on the IR saunas. I have decided to get a one month membership (only $50) for unlimited use, although they don't recommend more than 3-4 times a week. I am going to go this morning again. I have been reading all the posts, but life has been a whirlwind the last week or so,and I don't get to post much. But thankfully, I feel good and am keeping up!Love you all,Cherie> > Hi Cherie!> > > > I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Penni I'm hoping I will have success with it too. I'm sure the other girls probably know, but what does MCS stand for, and how long have you been sick? Cherie > > > Hi Cherie! > > > > > > I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 MCS is Multiple Chemical Sensitivity . . . like allergies, but not responsive to antihistamines. The only recourse is to avoid the irritants (which are everywhere), or to find a way to detox. My analogy is that we're all born with an empty glass (some get bigger glasses than others).. . As we go through life, the glass begins filling with the toxins we encounter. As it reaches it's brim, it begins splashing and we get some warning signals.. . Once it fills to overflowing, we become sick. The object of detoxing is to reduce the level of toxins in our body so we can live with a " moderate " amount of environmental exposure. Chemicals from implants have gone a long way to filling our glass! Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
