Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Beth, I really don't know what's going on. . . The fact that the sauna helps indicates (to me) that it's neuroligical. . . Far infrared light therapy is known to help neurolgical problems. Getting better takes time, and a lot of patience. I'm about 12 years post explant and I'm still working on some issues. Life is good again though! Have you been tested for platinum? It's a known neurotoxin.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Dearest Rogene and Beth: I'm not getting any mail today, our new computer has shut down, good that we still have this old one. I hope that everyone has not given up because of the FDA's decision. I too have tingling in my hands, but it is much better than it was. I'm planning to be tested for platinum. We hope that it won't cost too much, the UofA will be charging me too, but I'm not sure how much it will all cost. Take care love....Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``````````````````` Re: Rogene: tingling problem > > Beth, > > I really don't know what's going on. . .

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Hi Rogene, I know nothing about the infrared sauna at all, so excuse me if this question is ridiculous. To me, if the sauna causes sweating, the problem could be toxin overload rather than neurological because sweating causes the body to dump toxins. I used my steam sauna a lot after my surgery this week to get rid of the anesthesia and drugs quicker. It helped tremendously. Kenda I really don't know what's going on. . . The fact that the sauna helps indicates (to me) that it's neuroligical. . . Far infrared light therapy is known to help neurolgical problems. Getting better takes time, and a lot of patience. I'm about 12 years post explant and I'm still working on some issues. Life is good again though! Have you been tested for platinum? It's a known neurotoxin.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Kenda, A far infrared sauna has far different effects on the body than a steam or dry sauna does. . . There's so much involved, it would be best if you did a websearch for them, then read several different manufacturer's papers on them. It's also easier to stay in . . . when I come out of mine, I feel energized rather than wiped out. An analysis of the sweat generated by infrared shows more toxins being released in the process. In addition, the light penetrates the body up to two inches. The deep heat stimulates the body to use it's own healing mechanisms. Tom Cruise has donated infrared saunas to the 9/11 rescue workers because they are suffering from the toxins they were exposed to. The 9/11 folks are in serious trouble. But far infrared saunas are helping. Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Hi Rogene, You’re right, I need to do some research. I did a small bit but obviously not enough! The far infrared sounds amazing.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Kenda, The people who manufacture infrared saunas make some fantastic claims. . . however, it's the studies they have that are impressive. When I bought mine, I figured that, if it did half what they claimed, it would be worth it. Whenever I feel muscle pain, I head for the sauna. . . There are times when my sweat has a very peculiar smell. . . recently, it smelled like sour towels with a hint of ammonia. After getting used to mine, there are times when I feel something akin to a craving to use mine. If one is using their sauna as a detox program, they should take care to keep water soluable vitamins and minerals replenished, and of course, drink plenty of water. My daughter uses far infrared pads to treat Axheimers patients with long standing wounds and arthritic conditions with amazing results.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Hi Rogene, Can you tell me what brand you have and if you like it? I wonder what the ammonia smell is. Last week, after my surgery I had the sweats at night and it smelled like ammonia, almost like I had wet the bed. Of course I didn’t. I detox slowly, which is why I stay on my detox program continually. Where do you keep the sauna?

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Kenda, Both Patty and I have the same models . . . HealthMate, two-person (two people would be pretty uncomfortable though). I do like it . . . However, the only advantage I see in it over other models is that HealthMate gives you a lifetime warranty on the light units. It has a built in radio, thermostat and timer. It has five lights. Two in back, two in front, and a small one below the bench. If I had it to do over, and money was no object, I would like to have one large enough to lay down in. As it is, if I sit sideways with my feet out, I fill the bench. They are very economical to operate . . . More in the line of burning five large light bulbs. I have mine in a screened in, covered back porch. The porch is deep enough that rain doesn't get to the top of the unit. But even in the house, it wouldn't tax an air conditioner. IMHO, one major consideration in buying one would be how much the shipping cost would be. All things being equal, I would order the one that costs the least to ship. Mine came in one or two very heavy boxs. The people from the Home Show delivered it to us. They come ready to assemble - mine had big snaps that hold the box together. Assembling by directions is essential. Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
