Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 My adult son has started to go to a sauna with his assistant for about 10 minutes at a time. I asked if he sweat in there, and the assistant said no he didn't sweat. Anyone have any advice? Is it still good for him to go in there for short amounts of time? Is there a site with good info about this? Thanks, AutMom Quote from the FAQ: >>Saunas—Andy: " Sauna has been used to detox mercury miners since time immemorial - when they get too messed up, they go to the sauna during work hours instead of into the mine shaft. " " Sweating does indeed increase mercury excretion. Probably an hour or two of sauna is the same as 50 mg of DMSA every 4 hours for a day. " Note: Posters urged caution with saunas because mercury toxic people are often heat sensitive.<< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Hi , both of my sons had this problem they would never sweat also their urine did not have any smell at all. I started giving them a bath three times a week. With the following : 2 cups epsom salt 1cup baking soda 20,000 mg vitamin C powder 6,000 mg Lysine powder or (crushed tablets) 10, 000 mg Taurine The epsom salt gives them the sulfer magnisum the taurine also helps with sulfer tranfer issues. The baking soda purifies and opens the pores.. Vitamin C and Lysine helps to stimulate the Adrenal glands. Both of my kids now sweat normaly and their urine smells like urine. I saw results after the first bath. They are ages 3 and five. Both ASD one moderate one severe.. Hope this helps your son.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 When I was first using saunas and didn't sweat, I was told to take potassium. It worked great, and I've sweated well ever since in the sauna. Best, jill > Hi , both of my sons had this problem they would never sweat also their urine did not have any smell at all.
