Guest guest Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Hi, I started out going in 20 minutes at a time and have worked up to 45 minutes at a low heat (120-140 degrees). This has been over a 3 month period. Prior to starting sauna treatment I researched it on the internet. I read somewhere that in sweden they stay in up to an hour at a low heat. If you do not do this you do not give you body enough time to eliminate toxins, probably because it takes a while to work up a sweat in a regular sauna. Men seem to sweat quicker I think. I do not recommend that anyone stay in this long at first. I bring two 20 ounce bottles of water in with me and read magazines that I like. I workout on the elliptical for 30 minutes prior to going in the sauna and make sure I drink 20 ounces of water while using the elliptical machine. When I am finished I drink gatorade or add Elyte electrolyte solution to 8 ounces of water. This replace losts potsssium and sodium. Do not stay in a sauna for extended periods of time unless you replace fluids and electrolytes, it is very dangerous. I do not start to really sweat until about 25 minutes in the sauna, after that I am pouring wet. When I first started doing this a few months ago I felt ill after being in the sauna now I am suddenly not having that happen. I speculate that the heat was increasing blood flow, increasing vasodilation and circulating toxins that my liver could not handle all at once. I am guessing that these are fat soluble toxins and this is why they are released in our sweat. There are supplements that can help with this I think. I used ImuPlus instead. Up until about a week ago my peripheral neuropathy felt temporarily worse when I got out also. I think the increased circulation has something to do with this because it was not a permanent effect.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Hello, Try www.emersonecologics.com this is where I purchase my Elyte " stuff " . It seems expensive at first glance but you only use three small capfuls in 8 ounces of water. GT --- anita kessler <AnitaK001@...> wrote: > la, Where do you get the Elyte?
