Tissue Cleansing & Your Health... “Many of the illnesses
facing modern society have strong links to the environment. Cancer
rates are rising every year with all fingers pointing at the
lifestyles and environment of our population. Diseases virtually
unheard of twenty years ago, such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and
Fibromyalgia, now exist in epidemic numbers and these numbers
continue to rise with each passing year. Many people wonder why
they feel exhausted, their head seems to be in a fog, and they so
frequently have to live with pain. The stress of accumulated toxic
substances may be a primary factor in the poor health of millions
of North Americans. There are now hundreds of thousands of toxic
chemicals released into the environment daily. Heavy metals,
pesticide and herbicide residues, solvent residues and by-products
of fossil fuel combustion can be found in significant measurable
quantities in the bodies of virtually every human on this planet. A
scientifically based program of therapeutic detoxification can
bring about enormous improvements in health, vitality and brain
function. This past decade has seen great advancements in the
science of therapeutic detoxification and effective programs are
being developed worldwide at reputable environmental medicine
clinics.
 Saunas and steam baths have been used for centuries by cultures
around the world to induce detoxification. Traditionally, saunas have
been used to improve mental clarity, to diminish pain and promote
longevity. In the past few years, Hyperthermic [sweat] therapy has
been studied quite extensively and several papers on this subject
have appeared in the scientific literature. Through this research,
it has been shown that saunas greatly assist in the elimination of
accumulated toxins. Toxic metals including mercury, as well as
organic toxins such as PCB’s and pesticide residues, are excreted
in high quantities in the sweat during properly conducted Hyperthermic
therapy sessions.
Heat causes toxins to be released from cells. The toxic molecules
will then reside transiently in the lymph fluid. Since sweat is
manufactured from the lymph fluid, toxins present in the lymph fluid
will exit the body through the sweat. The liver and kidneys are not
required for this process thus, these organs are largely unburdened
by Hyperthermic therapy, and toxins are able to leave the body even
when liver or kidney function is impaired. This may be a distinct
advantage for chronically ill patients whose livers and kidneys may
already be under toxic stress.”
Advantages of the Far-InfraRed Sauna... “Many people with chronic
illnesses find the high temperatures inside a regular sauna or steam
room intolerable. In these traditional systems, the inside of the body
is heated completely from the surface of the skin. Even though you
feel very hot in these units, the heating is quite shallow - only a
few millimeters below the skin. In the Far-InfraRed sauna, invisible
light rays emanate from several Far-InfraRed emitters. This Far-InfraRed
light penetrates deep into the fat and muscles of the body, creating a
more powerful detoxifying influence upon the deeper tissues of the body.
As well, since the air temperature remains much lower than in a traditional
sauna, the individual feels more comfortable. Sweating often begins
before the person feels very hot at all and the sweating is more profuse
than in a traditional sauna”.
