      "body": "Near infrared lamp saunas are the BEST detoxification method I have ever encountered. These saunas have many health benefits, including cancer treatment and prevention, detoxification, killing infections, etc. If you have a lack of energy, brain fog or are suffering from a chronic disease or condition, I guarantee you that toxin accumulation is contributing to the problem.\n\n<h5 class=\"itunessec\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><a href=\"https://store.myersdetox.com/search?type=product&amp;q=sauna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">All types of near-infrared saunas can be found in the Myers Detox Store.</a></em></h5>\nI use a near infrared sauna to detox, but my main motivation for sweating it out daily in my home near infrared sauna is to kill cancer cells before they have a chance to turn into a tumor. My father died of cancer. Watching him die was a grim reality check into what is happening to most families around the world. One in three women gets cancer, while one in two men are afflicted with the disease. These statics are a call to action for you to begin thinking about cancer and disease prevention – NOW. Today.\n\nMany don't realize that everyone harbors mutated cells – cancer cells. Dr. William Pawluk has stated that we have 100 million cancer cells in our bodies at any given time! Whether it turns into a tumor or not is determined by your immune system's ability to kill the cancerous cell before it multiplies and possibly becomes carcinogenic. In a healthy individual with a robust immune system, this process happens often and naturally.\n\nIt is only when your body is overwhelmed by heavy metals, hundreds of chemicals, chronic infections, fungus and parasites, exacerbated by nutritional deficiencies, which everyone has to vary degrees, that you reach a point where your immune system simply doesn't have the energy or resources to kill these mutated cells any longer. When a mutated cell is allowed to grow unabated because the immune system is dealing with so many issues, you may very well be the one diagnosed with cancer when the tumor becomes visible on medical tests a few years down the road. This <em>can</em> be avoided.\n\nNear infrared sauna therapy resolves all burdens to the immune system, directly and indirectly preventing and healing cancer as a result.  Many viruses, bacteria, parasites and tumor cells have poor tolerance to heat compared to normal healthy cells and are easily killed with near infrared saunas. But let's be honest. You don't get something for anything. You must be dedicated to your health to prevent cancer and other health issues. It takes 1-3 years of daily sauna use to rid your body of the bulk of heavy metals, chemicals and chronic infections built up over your lifetime. And after this period of intense sauna therapy, one must continue to use a sauna twice a week to rid the body of new environmental onslaughts.\n\nNear-infrared lamp saunas should be part of any cancer treatment protocol, as they can aid in tumor shrinkage. Allow me to make it clear that near infrared sauna therapy is not a stand-alone cancer therapy unless combined with other therapies. Tumors tolerate heat poorly. Raising body temperature hastens their death. Infrared saunas also rid the body of the toxic body burdens contributing to cancer formation in the first place. Bottom line: Near-infrared saunas kill cancer.\n<h2>TYPES OF SAUNAS</h2>\nSo, I've been blabbing away about the astounding benefits of near infrared saunas, but let's first explore the many types of saunas out there and their differences so you understand what you should be looking for in a sauna. There are four basic ways to heat up a sauna:\n<ul>\n    <li><b>Traditional saunas</b> consist of a small room or space that is heated with a heater that sits in one corner. Electricity, gas, wood or other fuel powers the heater. It must be very hot to work properly = you can't tolerate it very long. Traditional saunas only penetrate a few millimeters into the skin's surface.</li>\n    <li><b>Far infrared saunas</b> use metallic, ceramic or black carbon elements for heating that mainly emit in the far infrared range. The electric heating elements surround the entire sauna. Unfortunately, all far infrared saunas emit electromagnetic fields that can be extremely harmful, especially to those who are sensitive to <a href=\"http://emf.mercola.com\">EMF's</a>. One would be wise to avoid all far infrared saunas for this reason. These rays penetrate about 1.5 inches (3.8cm).</li>\n    <li><b>Near infrared emitter saunas. </b>A few companies claim to offer near infrared saunas that use emitters. I would avoid these, as I believe they are very similar to the far infrared type of sauna.</li>\n    <li><b><img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-12366\" src=\"https://myersdetox.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/images.jpeg\" alt=\"images\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" />Near infrared lamp saunas</b> use incandescent red 'heat lamps' for heating. Bingo! This is the type of sauna you want. The lamps are very inexpensive and found at most hardware stores. The bulbs emit mainly near infrared energy, with a bit of middle infrared. Typically, three bulbs are sufficient to heat a sauna. A single bulb can be used to focus healing energy on a specific body part, injury or infection. They also heat up your hamburger at McDonald's.</li>\n</ul>\nWhile traditional saunas require high temperatures for profuse sweating, infrared rays penetrate the skin and heat from the inside as well as on the skin's surface.  This means the air temperature in the near infrared lamp sauna can remain much cooler, allowing you to stay in much longer, increasing benefits. This is vitally important for cancer patients or sick individuals who could not tolerate a regular sauna due to the intense heat.\n\nA near infrared lamp sauna penetrates deepest due to the fact that the heat source is concentrated in a small area, and not due to the frequencies of the energy used.  The rays penetrate roughly 3 inches (7.6 cm), allowing the air temperature to remain the coolest of all the types of saunas – but with the same effectiveness. While some people like the intense heat of the traditional sauna, many find it difficult to tolerate, especially those that are ill. I can't hack it!\n<h2>Benefits of Near Infrared Saunas</h2>\nNear infrared sauna therapy is one of the least costly, safest and most powerful ways to eliminate toxic metals, industrial chemicals and chronic infections.  The benefits are too numerous to list for the scope of this article, but these are the main ones:\n<h3>Detox Heavy Metals</h3>\nThe main reason to use an infrared sauna is to detox <a title=\"Guide to Sources and Symptoms of Toxic Metals\" href=\"https://myersdetox.com/guide-sources-symptoms-toxic-metals/\">heavy metals</a> such as lead, cadmium, <a title=\"Everyone is Mercury Toxic\" href=\"https://myersdetox.com/everyone-is-mercury-toxic/\">mercury</a>, arsenic, aluminum, nickel and many others. These metals accumulate in our bodies causing any imaginable health condition, symptom and disease, including cancer. These metals are present in our air, food and water. Everyone has heavy metal toxicity, the only difference being the degree of toxicity.\n<h3>Detox Industrial Chemicals</h3>\nOne hundred thousand chemicals have been unleashed into our environment in the form of dumping and use in manufacturing. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a person has 700 chemicals on average in their body, including rocket fuel and pesticides, with the most plentiful being phthalates, found in perfumed and colored personal care products. One can easily sweat these chemicals out of the body.\n<h3>Control Yeasts, Mold and Fungi</h3>\nThese opportunistic infections are one of the most underdiagnosed and problematic, causing all kinds of vague symptoms. In small quantities, many types of yeast are harmless. Under the right conditions, some of them, such as Candida Albicans, overgrow and become pathogenic. They secrete extremely poisonous chemicals in our bodies such as alcohol and acetaldehyde, and can cause or contribute to a wide range of health conditions. These infections tolerate heat poorly, making saunas ideal to keep them under control. Many of these infections are caused and exacerbated by <a href=\"https://myersdetox.com/everyone-is-mercury-toxic\">mercury</a> and <a href=\"https://myersdetox.com/copper-toxicity-syndrome\">copper</a> toxicity, problems that resolve with sauna use.\n<h3>Kill Parasites</h3>\nParasites are found in the brain and other tissues of the body. Parasites are opportunistic infections that more easily harbor in bodies weakened by other chronic infections, heavy metal toxicity, and nutritional deficiencies. Most parasites have no tests for their detection. Even when a parasite is detected, they are very resistant to treatment. Many treatments don't work very well – if there is a treatment.\n\nParasites can be incredibly frustrating because any parasites you kill have laid eggs, which hatch in a few weeks and the cycle begins again. Treatment must be consistent and ongoing. Parasites are very intolerant of heat. Consistent near infrared sauna therapy is an ideal parasite treatment because it kills the parasites, the recurring parasite hatchlings and detoxes all the infections weakening the host – you.\n<h3>Radiation Poisoning</h3>\nRadiation causes cancer. Radiation is a huge problem in the world today. We are exposed to radiation from bomb testing, Fukushima fallout and living in urban areas. One of the best ways to destroy cells that contain radiation is with an infrared sauna. These weaker cells can safely and easily be destroyed and prevent any cancers they may have eventually caused.\n<h3>Skin Rejuvenation</h3>\nThe skin is the largest eliminative organ of the body. Sauna use slowly restores elimination through the skin. In most people, it is inactive, congested and toxic.  Excessive sun exposure, use of synthetic clothing, bathing in chlorinated tap water and exposure to hundreds of chemicals damage the skin. Excessive sympathetic nervous system activity (aka stress, fight or flight) causes blood to be withdrawn from the skin's surface, contributing to inactivity of the skin.\n\nInfrared saunas improve skin health in many ways. They shuttle blood to the skin's surface, bringing oxygen and nutrients. DNA synthesis of fibroblasts, which affects the elasticity of skin, increased five-fold with infrared use. The result is younger-looking, more beautiful skin. Congestion, little bumps, roughness and other skin conditions clear with infrared sauna use. I've also noticed my skin becomes softer the more I use the sauna, especially my heels (aka my horse hooves).\n<h3>Enhanced Sweating</h3>\nSweating in a sauna is a byproduct of applying heat to the body. The sweating process gently and safely helps eliminate all heavy metals and toxic chemicals. Medical studies demonstrate that most toxins can be eliminated through the skin, relieving some burden on the kidneys and liver. Sweating increases dramatically in most people after several months of daily sauna use.\n\nSweating during exercise is not effective for detoxification because exercise activates the sympathetic nervous system.  Sympathetic nervous system (stress, fight or flight) activity inhibits toxin elimination. You must be in a parasympathetic state (calm, rest or sleep) to detox. You can either workout OR detox, not usually both at the same time.\n<h3>Exercise benefits</h3>\nSaunas provide many of the benefits of exercise with much less expenditure of energy. These include enhanced circulation and oxidation of the tissues. Saunas are most helpful for cardiovascular rehabilitation because they lower elevated blood pressure and improve the elasticity of the arteries – just like exercise.\n<h3>Fever Therapy (hyperthermia) for Infections</h3>\nRaising body temperature powerfully assists the body to kill bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses. Common sites of infections are the sinuses, ears, eyes, bladder, throat and intestines. Many people have a low body temperature and, for this reason, cannot get rid of chronic infections.\n\nWhy do many have a low body temperature? Because their thyroid, which controls body temperature, is not functioning properly due to heavy metal and chemical toxicity. Again, problem solved in the sauna. Additionally, Hashimoto's, which causes most thyroid dysfunction, is simply an infection of the thyroid, which clears up with sauna use. As the thyroid is healed, body temperature will increase naturally. Learn more about <a href=\"https://myersdetox.com/heal-your-thyroid-with-nutritional-balancing-with-luke-pryor/\">healing the thyroid naturally</a>.\n<h3>Tumors and Mutated Cells</h3>\nHyperthermia helps kill all types of abnormal cells – cells that contain radioactive minerals, chemical toxins, toxic metals and other defective cells. Tumors, for example, tolerate heat poorly. Raising body temperature hastens their death. Though not a conventional method, hyperthermia is a well-researched therapy for cancer. Again, it is not a stand-alone cancer treatment.\n<h3>Inhibiting the Sympathetic Nervous System</h3>\nMost people in modern society spend most of their time with their sympathetic nervous system activated – stressed out in fight or flight mode. However, detoxification and digestion occur only when the parasympathetic nervous system is activated. This state is the opposite of stress – you are calm, relaxed, resting or sleeping in a parasympathetic state. An infrared sauna assists the body into a parasympathetic state, allowing detoxification to occur. This is a tremendous benefit not offered by many therapies. This is one reason why stress is a killer – when you're always in a sympathetic state, your body cannot detox effectively and you accumulate more toxins than you normally would.\n<h3>Enhanced Immunity</h3>\nInfrared Saunas enhance white blood cell function, thereby increasing immune response and the elimination of foreign pathogens and cellular waste products. 
It also removes accumulated toxins by improving lymph circulation. Some researchers believe that infrared therapy can help stimulate the body's immune system simply by elevating body temperature. A 30-minute infrared sauna session causes a temporary 3° increase in body temperature. This increase has been shown to stimulate white blood cells.\n<h3>Oxygenating and Hydrating the Cells and Organs</h3>\nNear infrared is an antioxidant nutrient, activates the cells, supports metabolic processes and decouples toxins from water molecules. The heat and other actions of the sauna greatly improve circulation, which brings nutrients to the cells and toxins to the eliminative organs.\n<h3>Wound Healing</h3>\nPhysicians from NASA and the Medical College of Wisconsin found that near infrared light significantly promotes faster cell regeneration, wound healing and human tissue growth. Human cell growth increased by 155%-171% in some cases and wound size decreased by 36%.\n<h3>Pain Relief</h3>\nPenetrating heat from infrared saunas has long been proven to reduce pain in joints and muscles by reducing inflammation and increasing circulation to areas of discomfort.  Infrared saunas have also been shown to significantly increase range of flexibility.\n<h3>Reduced Blood Pressure</h3>\nGerman medical researchers concluded one session in an infrared sauna for over 1 hour can have significant reduction of blood pressure thanks to persistent peripheral vessel dilation. They also noted that blood viscosity was improved. Infrared saunas cause the release of nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels.\n<h2>Benefits Only had with Near Infrared Saunas</h2>\nMost people are only familiar with far infrared saunas, found at most spas and homes. One would be wise to consider the added benefits of a near infrared bulb sauna. A near infrared sauna has many benefits over a far infrared sauna.\n<h3>Inexpensive</h3>\nNear infrared lamp saunas are cheap to run and purchase. You simply buy a single bulb or create a complete home sauna with three bulbs for $250 or less. They simply use 250-watt red infrared bulbs you can buy at any hardware store or online. Far infrared saunas typically cost $1000, but are usually far more expensive, with some costing as much as $10,000.\n<h3>No EMFs</h3>\nAll far infrared saunas emit EMFs or electromagnetic fields, which are damaging to health in many ways. For this reason, they are not recommended. You do not have this issue in a near infrared sauna.\n\nIf you're not sure about your sauna's EMF levels, you can always check EMF levels with an <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&amp;keywords=emf+detector&amp;tag=googhydr-20&amp;index=aps&amp;hvadid=30945674061&amp;hvpos=1t1&amp;hvexid=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=1897386491248759479&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=b&amp;hvdev=c&amp;ref=pd_sl_271vbgjqrh_b\">EMF sensor</a>. There are a few smart phone apps claiming to detect EMFs, but it seems unlikely that software can turn them into devices that can detect <em>general</em> fluctuation and correct levels of EMFs.\n<h3>Increased Detoxification Effects</h3>\nNear infrared saunas shorten the chains of polluted water molecules. As this happens, toxins like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide are expelled. Heavy metals such as mercury precipitate, easing their detoxification. This does not occur to the same degree in a far infrared sauna.<b> </b>\n<h3>Deeper Tissue Penetration</h3>\nThe most notable benefit over far infrared saunas is that you enjoy deeper tissue penetration, and thus detoxification, with their use. They penetrate up to 3 inches (7.6cm) into the body, while a far infrared sauna only penetrates about 1.5 inches (3.8cm).\n<h3>Enhanced Effect on DNA</h3>\nThe greater intensity of near infrared lamps and deeper penetration of their rays increase the death of mutated cells. Mutated cells can eventually turn into cancer. This assists in the regeneration of normal body tissue. This benefit is very important for those suffering from illness due to damaged DNA.\n<h3>Circulation</h3>\nAnother benefit is the ability to increase circulation more effectively than with a far infrared sauna. When the bulbs are only on one side of the sauna, you are able to rotate every few minutes (like a rotisserie chicken). This shunts blood from one side of the body to another, vigorously enhancing circulation.\n<h3>Color Therapy</h3>\nThe red bulbs used in a near infrared sauna emit red, orange and yellow light, which provides stimulating color therapy. These particular frequencies draw energy downward in the body (from your overworked brain) and assist the digestive and eliminative organs. They also nourish the adrenal glands, liver and kidneys according to traditional color therapies. Sauna researcher, Dr. C. S. Enwemeka wrote, \"[Color therapy] includes the ability to accelerate inflammation, promote fibroblast proliferation, enhance chondroplasia, upregulates the synthesis of type I and type III procollagen mRNA, quicken bone repair and remodeling, foster revascularization of wounds and overall accelerate tissue repair in experimental and clinical models.\"\n<h3>Focused Healing</h3>\nYou can even use a single near infrared bulb to heal an isolated injury, infection or health issue. They are wonderful for focusing infrared energy at an area of the body in need of healing, improving circulation and killing microorganisms. Conditions that benefit from the intense, focused light of a single bulb include rashes, joint pain, muscle strains, acne, boils, conditions of the sinuses and infections and many others.\n\nSimply shine the bulb on the area in need of healing. Use the near infrared lamp for five to fifteen minutes, five to ten times per day. Allow the lamp to heat the area as much as is tolerable. Be sure to never shine the lamp for more than five minutes at a time at your head. Avoid using the lamp within 24 hours of an injury. Reddening of the skin is normal and indicates blood being drawn to the area – exactly what you want to speed healing.\n<h2>Sauna Setup</h2>\nGet your home outfitted with a near infrared sauna today!

You need to detoxify from the 700 industrial chemicals that are found on average in your blood. <!--more-->\n<div class=\"video-wrapper\"><center><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/s5So6YymtAI\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></center></div>\n&nbsp;\n\nInfrared saunas have so many health benefits, including prevention and healing from disease, detoxing heavy metals and chemicals, pain relief, anti-aging, etc. If you’re having trouble losing weight, have a lack of energy, are sick, or suffering from a chronic disease or condition, toxin accumulation is contributing to the problem. Infrared sauna therapy is one of the safest and most powerful ways to eliminate toxins and increase your overall health.<strong> </strong>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Infrared Saunas even gets Dr. Oz’s stamp of approval. Dr. Oz says the high temperature helps lower blood pressure and increase blood circulation. “It gets your heart to beat faster, and it burns calories,” Dr. Oz says. “It raises your metabolism a little bit, and also when you sweat, you sweat out toxins through the skin.”</p>\n\n<h5 class=\"itunessec\"><em><a href=\"https://store.myersdetox.com/search?type=product&amp;q=sauna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">All types of near infrared saunas can be found in the Myers Detox Store.</a></em></h5>\n&nbsp;\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://liveto110.com/infrared-saunas-in-depth-with-nikki-moses/\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https://liveto110.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Infrared_saunas-in-depth-with-nikki_moses-451x300.jpg\" alt=\"Infrared saunas in depth with nikki_moses\" width=\"271\" height=\"180\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Sauna Benefits</h2>\nIt is important to understand that saunas can remove many of the agents that cause disease. In particular, conventional medicine often overlooks the effects of toxic chemicals and heavy metals on one’s health.  Genetics is emphasized, but there is little mention that nutritional deficiencies and toxic agents cause genetic defects.  The following sections describe toxins the sauna can help remove in more detail. Much of this section is excerpted from Dr. Lawrence Wilson's excellent book <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/0962865761/?tag=googhydr-20&amp;hvadid=37420497305&amp;hvpos=1t1&amp;hvexid=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=21338576241288591596&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=b&amp;hvdev=c&amp;ref=pd_sl_5iq4l1vzqi_b\"><em>Sauna Therapy</em></a>.\nIndustrial Chemicals\nAlthough the human body is known to be accommodating, ecological alterations are now occurring at a faster rate than our bodies are able to adapt. We are now faced with a situation where inadequacies or uncertainties centering around the manufacturing, use, storage, and disposal of toxic chemicals have resulted in an overwhelming number of environmentally induced illnesses. These illnesses include cancers of almost every organ system of the body, liver disease, pulmonary damage, nervous system disease, immune system damage, reproductive and fertility impairment, and kidney dysfunction.\n\nScientific evidence shows that thousands of drugs, food additives, pesticides, and other pollutants remain stored in the body long after exposure. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, everyone has 700 chemicals on average in our bodies, while babies have 70 on average. When toxins are not excreted from our body, they accumulate in our tissues and do ongoing damage. It’s one of our body’s defense mechanisms to keep toxins away from the vital organs. The heat stress of a sauna is an effective method of removing toxins from the body.\n\nMany harm the body, though the effects are often subtle.  They accumulate in the water and air, so no location remains unaffected.  Many degrade slowly so their effects are cumulative.  Avoiding exposure is all but impossible.  According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), toxic chemicals are the worst environmental problem in the nation, responsible for up to 80% of cancer deaths.\n\nOne class of chemicals, pesticides, and herbicides, are among the most toxic substances known to mankind.  Several billion pounds are sprayed each year directly on our crops.  Besides eating and wearing the residues, they contaminate the air and water supplies for hundreds of years.\n\nTwo very problematic chemicals prevalent in our environment today are fluoride and chlorine, which are added to municipal drinking water.\n\n<strong><i>Fluoride</i></strong> contributes to brown staining of the teeth, weakened bones, hip fractures, hypothyroidism, mental impairment, birth defects and cancer.  Fluoride compounds are found in pesticides, air pollution, toothpaste, and are added to many water supplies.  Foods processed with water including baby foods and juices often contain too much fluoride. Large, worldwide studies show little or no benefit of fluoride for tooth decay, contrary to many news reports.  Only the United States, Australia and Great Britain continue to add toxic fluoride compounds to drinking water.\n\n<strong><i>Chlorine</i></strong> toxicity is associated with fatigue, heart disease, thyroid, cancer and renal problems.  Chlorine is required in the body, and found in salt and other foods. Many chlorinated compounds, however, are highly toxic.  These include chlorinated tap water, chlorinated hydrocarbons used in pesticides and other chemicals, bathing in chlorinated water, pools and hot tubs, and the use of chlorine bleach and other chlorine-containing household products.\n\nTesting for thousands of chemicals is costly when tests even exist, and medicine has little to offer to eliminate them from the body.  The diseases they cause have become epidemics.  Sauna therapy shines brightly as a simple, effective therapeutic modality to help eliminate chemical toxins from the body.\n\n[Tweet \"Near infrared saunas have so many health benefits! Eliminate toxins and live a healthier life!\"]\n<h3>Toxic Metals</h3>\nAccording to the United States EPA, toxic metals are the second worst environmental problem.  Pesticides may contain lead, copper, arsenic and other metals.  Fifty million mercury amalgam fillings are still placed in America each year.  Tons of it is dumped into the air from coal-burning power plants and paper-making.  Aluminum compounds are routinely added to table salt and municipal drinking water supplies.  Arsenic and lead used in pesticides and insecticides find their way into the water and food supplies.   In my experience, everyone has excess toxic metals, whether or not they show up on any test.\n\nSome toxic metals replace vital minerals in enzyme binding sites.  However, they do not function as well.  When they accumulate, they contribute to hundreds of physical and emotional health conditions.\n\n<strong><i>Lead</i></strong> contributes to more than 100 conditions including neuromuscular and bone diseases, fractures, mental retardation, hyperactivity, anemia and others. Some historians believe the Roman Empire fell because lead water pipes slowly poisoned the people and decreased their strength and intelligence.  Sources of lead include old paint, inks, pesticides, a few hair dyes, solder and other metal products.  During sauna therapy, I have observed lead to have a sickly sweet odor as it is eliminated.  Elimination of lead was confirmed with hair mineral testing.\n\n<strong><i>Cadmium</i></strong> contributes to high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, fatigue, arthritis, violence, infections, back pain and other conditions.  Common sources are cigarette or marijuana smoke, refined foods and tap water.  One may feel tired for a few days if one eliminates a lot of cadmium at one time.\n\n<strong><i>Mercury</i></strong> toxicity is present in almost everyone today.  Mercury is found in silver amalgam dental fillings, tuna and swordfish, contact lens solution, vaccines and various other products.  Mercury may contribute to hypothyroidism, an impaired immune system, digestive problems such as yeast infections, emotional difficulties, learning disabilities, ADHD and many other conditions.  Mercury elimination, if heavy, may be accompanied by a fishy odor during a sauna session.\n\n<strong><i>Aluminum</i></strong> is associated with memory impairment and Alzheimer’s disease. Aluminum is widely used in beverage cans, aluminum foils, antiperspirants,antiacids, and aluminum cookware.  Peppermint, spearmint and wintergreen are naturally high in aluminum.\n\n<strong><i>Arsenic</i></strong> contributes to liver and kidney damage, weakness, diarrhea, muscle spasms, headaches and other symptoms.  Sources include pesticides, beer, tap water, table salt, paints and other chemical products.\n\n<strong><i>Physiological minerals</i></strong> may also become toxic.  For example, hexavalent chromium is toxic while trivalent chromium is not.  Vital minerals can also become toxic if they are unusable by the body.  <i>Calcium</i> is needed in the bones.  When it accumulates in the arteries, joints, kidneys or elsewhere it becomes toxic.  A similar situation occurs with <i>iron, manganese, chromium, copper, selenium</i> and other vital minerals, contributing to many health conditions.  Of these, the most commonly seen are copper, iron and manganese toxicity.  They will often be revealed on a hair mineral test at some point if one pursues a corrective nutrition and sauna therapy program.  All three of these minerals help support weak adrenal glands.\n\n<strong><i>Copper</i></strong> is high in vegetarian proteins and associated with zinc deficiency and adrenal exhaustion, both very common conditions.  Copper imbalance contributes to emotional conditions, skin problems, joint pain, cancer, migraine headaches and premenstrual tension.  The symptoms of copper toxicity are identical to the symptoms of premenstrual tension.  Copper elimination in a sauna may be accompanied by a rotten egg odor.  This is probably sulfur that is bound to copper to protect the body from the worst effects of excess copper.\n\n<strong><i>Manganese</i></strong> is found in unleaded gasoline and foods such as tea.  Both copper and manganese are needed in the body.  However, the body may convert manganese into a toxic, oxidized form (MnO6) that helps support weak adrenal glands.  This manganese is not usable and must be eliminated.  Manganese elimination in a sauna may cause a slightly metallic odor.\n\n<strong><i>Iron</i></strong> toxicity is also very common, although often not revealed on standard tests.  Iron is added to all white flour products such as breads, crackers, pasta and pastry.  Vitamin and mineral supplements often contain a lot of iron.  Iron can accumulate to help support weak adrenal glands.  It is stored in the liver and other organs and may contribute to heart disease, cancer, emotional difficulties and other health problems.\n\nSauna therapy is excellent to remove excess minerals, whether they are toxic metals or unusable or excess physiological minerals.\n<h3>Chronic Infections</h3>\nInfection plays a role in more conditions than previously thought, from artery disease and ulcers to arthritis and colitis.  Many bacteria and fungi produce endo-and exotoxins that cause both local and systemic disease.  More and more of them are resistant to drug therapy.  Bodies weakened by toxic chemicals and heavy metals are more subject to attack by infections.\n\nMany infections are chronic, causing nagging complaints that never go away.  This occurs especially in parts of the body with poor circulation such as the joints, ears and sinuses.  Heating the body is a natural mechanism the body uses to fight infections.  Sauna therapy not only heats, but powerfully improves circulation to help fight both acute and chronic infections.\n\nGiven the human body's effectiveness in fighting disease by inducing a fever, why not induce your own fever with an infrared sauna? Get your heat therapy as soon as you start feeling sick. The temperature increase induces a faux fever, assisting the body in fighting upper respiratory infections, colds, and flu.\n<h3>Radiation</h3>\nAn article in <i>The Ecologist</i>, April 2001 issue begins by stating “the (radiation) equivalent of a nuclear war has already happened”.  This may not be an exaggeration.  The article carefully details that 1900 nuclear tests, accidents and nuclear waste dumping have exposed everyone on the planet to the equivalent of 1000 Hiroshima bombs.\n\nThe article reveals details of previously classified accidents including one in Greenland in 1968.  A B-52 crashed at a secret nuclear base and its cargo of four nuclear bombs detonated, sending up a cloud of plutonium 25,000 feet into the air.  According to US documents, 1250 nuclear weapons have been involved in accidents, a number of which “resulted in or created the potential for plutonium dispersal”.  The Soviet Union was notorious for its cavalier attitude about nuclear accidents.  A 1991 film documents the poisoning of hundreds of thousands as a result of accidents at their first plutonium factory at Chelyabinsk in the Ural mountains.\n\nUsing the official ‘radiation risk’ estimates published in 1991 by the International Commission on Radiological Protection, planetwide contamination will cause 175 million cancer deaths and another 350 million non-fatal cancers.  It will also cause another 235 million illnesses and 588 million children to be born with birth defects such as brain damage, mental disability, spina bifida and childhood cancers.\n\nDepleted uranium, a waste product which every nation that has atomic weapons has in abundance, is another source of radiation exposure.  To get rid of it, it is often made into ammunition that was used in the Gulf War, Bosnia and Kosovo.  Leukemia rates have increased in these areas since its use.\n\nAnother hidden source of radiation are the fluoride compounds added to many municipal water supplies.  Hydrofluosilicic acid, the source of most fluoride for water supplies, is a smokestack waste produce that contains radioactive particles and heavy metals along with fluoride.\n\nOther sources are medical and dental x-rays, medical waste that may contain radioactive materials, CAT and other scans, smoke alarms and proximity to food irradiation facilities.\n\nRadiation is carried on mineral particles.  The minerals lodge in the cells where they disrupt DNA synthesis.  This causes defective protein synthesis resulting in innumerable subtle metabolic dysfunctions.  As the defective proteins replicate, the metabolic errors also multiply.\n\nElectric light sauna therapy promotes rapid turnover of body cells.  The deeply penetrating high heat kills damaged cells which are more heat-sensitive than normal cells.  Eliminating the radiation-containing cells helps the body eliminate radioactive particles faster and prevents replication of these cells.  Over a period of time, light sauna therapy can dramatically reduce the amount of mutated DNA and radioactive material in the body.  One needs to continue sauna use on a maintenance basis because exposure to radiation continues throughout one’s life.\n<h3>Weight Loss</h3>\nWhy not burn some fat while you detox? Saunas can burn 100-200 calories per hour depending on your metabolism. That’s the equivalent of 10-20 minutes on the stairmaster or running 1-2 miles. I’ll take the extra workout while sitting on my bum, thank you! Your body burns these calories trying to maintain your body’s core temperature. Our body does this by increasing peripheral blood flow and by sweating. Infrared sauna sessions can also help rid your body of cellulite, which is a gel like substance made up of fat cells, water and toxins. Feel those extra pounds melt away.\n\nScientists today are finding more and more evidence that chemicals in our bodies lead to heavier people in various ways. \"There are between fifteen and twenty chemicals that have been shown to cause weight gain,\" says an obesity researcher at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. And many of these chemicals, the average person already have in their blood. Some of the chemicals increase the number of fat cells you have, so you have more cells to store fat in. Others increase the size of your fat cells and make them larger so they can store more fat per cell. The only way to get rid of these chemicals, like phthalates, is an Infrared Sauna.\n<h3>Increase Metabolism</h3>\nRadiation and other toxins often affect the thyroid and adrenal glands resulting in a slow metabolic rate.  This condition affects over 90% of adults and causes fatigue, impaired carbohydrate tolerance, food cravings, allergies, obesity, elevated cholesterol, learning disability, chronic infections and other conditions.\n\nA low body temperature impairs sweating.  This hinders elimination and interferes with tissue regeneration.  Supporting sluggish thyroid and adrenal glands helps, but is often not enough.  By heating the body, saunas activate and enhance many metabolic processes.  This is most beneficial for those with sluggish metabolism.\n<h3>Pain Relief</h3>\nFar infrared energy can penetrate over 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) deep into muscle tissue, while near infrared rays can penetrate roughly 3 inches (7.6 cm)! By heating these tissues, we experience increased blood flow which can be beneficial in reducing muscle spasms, joint stiffness and as well as general aches and pains due to conditions such as fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. There is also evidence that when used 24-48 hours post injury, infrared energy can reduce the time it takes for your body to heal sprains and strains.\n<h3>Cancer Support</h3>\nSome researchers believe that infrared therapy can help stimulate the body's immune system by elevating body temperature. Many viruses, bacteria and tumor cells have poor tolerance to heat compared to normal healthy cells. A 30 minute infrared sauna session can cause a temporary 3° F increase in body temperature. This increase has been shown to stimulate white blood cells, assisting your body's immune system.\n<h3>Anti-aging Therapy</h3>\nMetabolism slows as one grows older.  Most older people exercise less.  Sweating occurs less often, impairing elimination of toxins and increasing the risk of major diseases.  Since sauna therapy helps reverse all these conditions, it is a prime anti-aging therapy.\n\nSauna therapy can be used by most people at any age, even by those in wheelchairs.  Physicians familiar with it contend that it can be adapted for any condition with proper supervision.  Simple yet powerful, it can usually be done right in the home.\n<h2>Sauna Comparison</h2>\nThere are many types of saunas, including the conventional Swedish or Finnish sauna, far infrared, and near infrared. You can read more about the benefits of near infrared lamp saunas over far infrared saunas in Dr. Lawrence Wilson's article <a href=\"http://drlwilson.com/articles/SAUNAS-NEAR%20VS.%20FAR%20I.htm\">Near Infrared versus Far Infrared Saunas</a>. Let’s do a comparison:\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>Traditional saunas</strong> consist of a small room that is heated with a heater powered by electricity, gas, wood or other fuel. Heat from conventional saunas penetrates only a few millimeters even though the temperature can range from 180-220 degrees Fahrenheit.</li>\n \t<li><strong>Far infrared</strong> saunas use ceramic, metallic rods, or carbon (the best) for heating that mainly emit in the far infrared range.  Infrared heats <em>you</em>, rather than the air, with penetration 1.5 inches or more. Air temperature ranges from 120-150 degrees normally.</li>\n \t<li><strong>Near Infrared</strong> saunas use incandescent infrared heat lamps or carbon for heating. They emit mainly near infrared, some middle infrared and perhaps a tiny amount of far infrared energy. Again, the rays penetrate about 3 inches. The air temperature can be kept at a comfortable 110-140 degrees, allowing people to sauna who are sick or sensitive to heat.</li>\n \t<li><strong>Steam rooms</strong> can be very hot and may not allow many to stay in for very long. While you do sweat in a steam room, you won’t enjoy the benefit of deep penetrating infrared rays. The steam room heat will penetrate a few millimeters like a traditional sauna.</li>\n</ul>\nFar and near infrared have many of the same benefits, but clinical research shows that different parts of the infrared spectrum are more effective than others at targeting various health benefits. Below is a chart so you can seek out the part of the spectrum that meets your needs.\n<table style=\"text-align: center;\" border=\"1\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\nInfrared Wavelength\nBenefits\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Near Infrared</td>\n<td>Cell health/immunity, Wound healing, Skin purification, Pain relief</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mid Infrared</td>\n<td>Pain relief, Improved circulation, Weight loss</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Far Infrared</td>\n<td>Weight loss, Detoxification, Blood pressure reduction, Relaxation</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<h2>Near Infrared</h2>\nNear infrared lamp saunas are considered by many to be superior to far infrared saunas. They penetrate deeper than far infrared rays and have many benefits not enjoyed by users of far infrared saunas.\n\nNew research on near infrared therapy (NIR) proves the following health benefits.\n<ul>\n \t<li>BOOSTS METABOLISM - The mitochondria (power plants of the cells) produce more ATP (energy currency of the cells) when NIR (near infrared rays) is introduced.</li>\n \t<li>WOUND HEALING - Physicians from NASA and the Medical College of Wisconsin found that NIR LED light significantly promotes faster cell regeneration, wound healing and human tissue growth. Human cell growth increased by 155%-171% in some cases and wound size decreased by 36%.</li>\n \t<li>INCREASES ENERGY - NIR activates the color sensitive chemicals (chromophores &amp; cytochrome systems) to depths of 23 centimeters (or about 10 inches), stimulating the energy processes in cells.</li>\n \t<li>IMPROVES CIRCULATION TO THE MUSCLES - NIR causes the release of nitric oxide.  This stimulates vasodilatation of the microcirculatory system, bringing more blood to the muscles.</li>\n \t<li>BETTER ENDURANCE - Muscle fatigue was reduced by up to 42.2% when exposing muscle to NIR.</li>\n \t<li>INCREASES STRENGTH - Growth hormone release is induced by an increase in body temperature and not by exercise itself.  Growth hormone increases muscle mass, calcium retention, and lipolysis (the breakdown of stored fat).</li>\n \t<li>FASTER RECOVERY TIME - Certain tissue regenerating genes including integrins, laminin, gap junction proteins and kinesin proteins have shown a two- to five-fold increase upon exposure to NIR.</li>\n \t<li>REDUCES VISIBLE CELLULITE - Cellulite is fat mixed with toxins that are trapped, in part due to an underactive circulatory system.  Cellulite is so visible, in part due to weakened connective tissue.  NIR helps rebuild connective tissue, reducing the appearance of cellulite.</li>\n \t<li>REJUVENATES SKIN - DNA synthesis of fibroblasts, which affects the elasticity of skin, increased five-fold with NIR.  The result is younger-looking, more beautiful skin.</li>\n \t<li>PAIN RELIEF - Penetrating heat from NIR has long been proven to reduce pain in joints and muscles by reducing inflammation and increasing circulation to areas of discomfort.  NIR has also been shown to significantly increase the range of flexibility.</li>\n \t<li>HEALS INFECTIONS - Raising body temperature powerfully assists the body to kill bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses.  Many people have a low body temperature and, for this reason, cannot get rid of chronic infections.  Common sites of infections are the sinuses, ears, eyes, bladder, throat and intestines.</li>\n \t<li>HEALS CANCER - NIR helps kill many types of abnormal cells mutated by radiation or damaged by other toxins, including tumors.  Tumors, for example, tolerate heat poorly.  Raising body temperature hastens their death.  Though not a conventional method, hyperthermia is a well-researched therapy for cancer.</li>\n \t<li>RADIATION POISONING.  A huge problem in the world today is radiation that causes cancer. The sun emits radiation, all plants contain radiation, but more importantly we are exposed to radiation from bomb testing, Fukushima fallout and living in urban areas. The only way to destroy cells that contain radiation is with an infrared sauna. These cells can be destroyed and prevent any cancers they may have eventually caused.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Far Infrared</h2>\nResearch from Japan and other countries prove the many, many benefits of far infrared therapy (FIR).\n<ul>\n \t<li>WEIGHT LOSS - FIR burns 200-600 calories an hour! It is the perfect complement to a weight loss regimen.</li>\n \t<li>INCREASED HEALING – FIR increases blood circulation and oxygen supply to damaged tissues aiding reduction of chronic joint and muscle pain or sport injuries.</li>\n \t<li>REDUCES BLOOD PRESSURE - German medical researchers concluded one session of FIR for over 1 hour can have significant reduction of blood pressure thanks to persistent peripheral vessel dilation. They also noted that blood viscosity was improved.</li>\n \t<li>IMPROVES SKIN – FIR opens pores that have been malfunctioning for years, forcing out clogging cosmetics, and loosening dry outer skin, healing acne and scars.</li>\n \t<li>PROMOTES HEALTHY ARTERIES -
When the normally smooth, firm lining of the arteries become thickened and roughened by deposits of fat, fibrin, calcium and cellular debris, it reduces their ability to expand and contract, slowing the movement of blood through narrowed channels. These conditions make it easier for blood clots to form. FIR is able to neutralize blood toxicity and smooth the walls of arteries, capillaries and veins.</li>\n \t<li>HEALS UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS -
FIR has proven to be outstanding for asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, colds, flu, sinusitis and congestion as it clears inflammation, swelling and mucus clogged passages. FIR kills viruses and bacteria that cause upper respiratory infections.</li>\n \t<li>DETOXIFICATION – FIR enhances white blood cell function, thereby increasing immune response and the elimination of foreign pathogens and cellular waste products. 
It also removes accumulated toxins by improving lymph circulation.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Health Conditions helped with Infrared Sauna Therapy</h2>\nInfrared sauna therapy is being used all over the world to treat a wide array of diseases and conditions. There have been hundreds of clinical trials reporting success with the use of infrared sauna therapy for treatment for the following:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Acne (clears acne and blackheads).</li>\n \t<li>Adhesions (common in competitive athletes, trauma, and repetitive stress syndromes).</li>\n \t<li>Arthritis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis (relieved or improved).</li>\n \t<li>Asthma, bronchitis.</li>\n \t<li>Body odor.</li>\n \t<li>Brain contusion (accelerated healing).</li>\n \t<li>Bursitis (eliminated).</li>\n \t<li>Cancer pain (greatly relieved pain in later stages).</li>\n \t<li>Cardiovascular health (improved).</li>\n \t<li>Carpel tunnel syndrome (positive results in 70% of patients).</li>\n \t<li>Crohn's disease.</li>\n \t<li>Chronic middle-ear inflammation or infection.</li>\n \t<li>Cirrhosis of the liver (reversed).</li>\n \t<li>Compression fractures (pain eliminated or reduced).</li>\n \t<li>Dandruff (increased blood flow through the scalp).</li>\n \t<li>Disc-protrusion related neuralgia.</li>\n \t<li>Duodenal ulcers (eliminated).</li>\n \t<li>Ear, nose, and throat conditions.</li>\n \t<li>Eczema and psoriasis (respond well).</li>\n \t<li>Exercise recovery and muscle pain.</li>\n \t<li>Gastritis (relieved).</li>\n \t<li>Gastroenteric problems.</li>\n \t<li>Hemorrhoids (reduced).</li>\n \t<li>Hepatitis (eliminated).</li>\n \t<li>High blood pressure (reduced).</li>\n \t<li>Insomnia.</li>\n \t<li>Keloid scars (significantly softened and, in some cases, completely gone).</li>\n \t<li>Lacerations (healed quicker with less pain and scarring).</li>\n \t<li>Leg ulcers (healed when previously static and resistant to other care).</li>\n \t<li>Low-back pain (relieved).</li>\n \t<li>Menopause.</li>\n \t<li>Muscle spasms (reduced or eliminated).</li>\n \t<li>Nose bleeding (reduced).</li>\n \t<li>Post-surgical adhesions (reduced).</li>\n \t<li>Scars and pain from burns or wounds (decreased in severity and extent).</li>\n \t<li>Sciatica.</li>\n \t<li>Sore throats.</li>\n \t<li>Spinal chord shock (reversed post traumatic shock).</li>\n \t<li>Tinnitus (chronic severe case cleared with 10 infrared treatments).</li>\n \t<li>TMJ arthritis.</li>\n \t<li>Whiplash.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Sauna Tips</h2>\nHere are a few tips to turn you into a sauna pro!\n<ul>\n \t<li>HOW LONG - Begin with only 10-20 minutes in the sauna.  After a few weeks, if you feel well enough to do so, you may increase to between 30-60 minutes.  Never begin with sessions longer than 20-minutes once a day because this can cause massive healing reactions that are unpleasant and even dangerous.</li>\n \t<li>HOW OFTEN - Work up to regular use over time. It will take you one year to completely detox when using the sauna every day to every other day. After this, you can maintain your clean, healthy body by using the sauna twice a week.</li>\n \t<li>HYDRATE - Be sure to properly hydrate with fresh, pure water before and after taking a sauna. After all that sweating, I recommend you replace your electrolytes with coconut water, nature’s Gatorade, or sea salt in your food.</li>\n \t<li>GET NAKED - Infrared emitters do not work through clothing. Disrobe as much as possible to optimize the heating and sweating effects. A bathing suit is fine.</li>\n \t<li>SHOWER – If possible, shower and exfoliate before your session to open your pores. When finished with your session, take a shower, warm or cool, but not hot. Wash off all the toxins with water or a natural, organic liquid soap. This washes off the toxins so they don’t reabsorb into the skin. Avoid cleaners with chemicals like phthalates, fragrance (made with petroleum, aka motor oil), or parabens that are sold at most major retailers. This would defeat the purpose of detoxing!</li>\n \t<li>RELAX - After showering, sit or lie down for at least 10 minutes to allow your body to return to its normal temperature and readjust. A cold shower helps with this, too. A cold shower is also great for improving your skin tone.</li>\n \t<li>ASK - Always consult a health professional if you have a chronic illness and are not sure about sauna use.  Keep in mind that many mainstream doctors may not be aware of a sauna’s benefits and may be skeptical about its benefits. Most people who have diabetes, heart disease and other chronic illnesses have found no problems in using a sauna.  Infrared sauna sessions are a must for those with cancer.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Contraindications</h2>\nSeek permission from your doctor prior to use for the following conditions:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Taking Medications</li>\n \t<li>Under 12 years old</li>\n \t<li>The Elderly</li>\n \t<li>Cardiovascular Conditions</li>\n \t<li>Chronic Conditions</li>\n \t<li>Silicone Breast Implants. Sauna makers tend to suggest avoiding saunas if you have implants, however, after doing some research it seems it is safe to use saunas with breast implants. The general consensus seems to be that saunas can contribute to the demise of the implants, but there is no proof of this. If you experience pain in your breasts while in a sauna, get out immediately and see your doctor.</li>\n \t<li>Pregnancy</li>\n \t<li>Hemophilia</li>\n \t<li>Hyperthyroidism</li>\n \t<li>Fever</li>\n \t<li>Insensitivity to Heat</li>\n \t<li>Alcohol Abuse</li>\n \t<li>Hip replacements</li>\n \t<li>Metal implants</li>\n \t<li>Lupus</li>\n \t<li>Multiple Sclerosis</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Find an Infrared Sauna</h2>\n<ul>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.yelp.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yelp.com</a></li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.spafinder.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spafinder.com</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Los Angeles, Ca</h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://planetbeach.com/spa-locator/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Planet Beach</a> Locations all over the world.</li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.thesweatshopla.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SweatShop</a>  Hollywood</li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.optimalhealthinc.com/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Optimal Health</a>  Beverly Hills</li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.beverlyhillswellnesscenter.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beverly Hills Wellness Center</a>  Beverly Hills</li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.fbespa.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Firm Body Evolution</a>  West Hollywood</li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.aquarianwellness.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aquarian Wellness</a>  Mid Los Angeles</li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.taoofvenus.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tao of Venus </a> Silver Lake</li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.soothingsolutions.net/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Soothing Solutions</a>  Burbank</li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.purecenter.com/infrared-sauna.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pure Center</a>  Hollywood</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Malibu</h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.veronicaskincare.com\">Veronica Skincare</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Marina del Rey</h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.creativechakra.com/infraredsauna.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Creative Chakra Spa</a></li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.chiroasis.com/sauna/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chiroasis</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Redondo Beach</h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://iblounge.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Innovative Beauty Lounge</a></li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.persauna.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PerSauna</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Santa Monica</h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li><a href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/14-buddhas-skincare-spa-santa-monica-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">14 Buddhas Skincare </a></li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://In-spiraling.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In-Spiraling Movement Arts</a></li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.tikkunspa.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tikkun Holistic Spa</a></li>\n \t<li><a href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/tao-healing-arts-center-santa-monica\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tao Healing Arts Center</a></li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.gentlewellnesscenter.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gentle Wellness Center</a></li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.arcona.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arcona Spa</a></li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.theravenspa.com/monica/index.php#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raven Spa</a></li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.spabalance.com/pages/bodytreat.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spa Balance</a></li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://alchemiespa.com/treatments-2/spa-retreats/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alchemie Spa</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Sherman Oaks/Studio City</h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.bodiesinbalance.com/Far-Infrared_Sauna.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bodies in Balance</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>If you know of any other infrared saunas in Los Angeles County, please let me know so I can add it to the list. </em></h5>\n<h2>Purchase<strong> </strong></h2>\n<a href=\"https://saunaspace.com/wellness-shop/pocket-sauna/#_l_1a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-28553\" src=\"https://liveto110.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Pocket-Sauna-325x425.png\" alt=\"Pocket Sauna\" width=\"223\" height=\"292\" /></a>There are a lot of saunas on the market, but you need to consider purchasing one that emits few if any, EMF (electromagnetic fields) and uses wood, glues, and other building materials that will not exacerbate chemical sensitivity. Near infrared saunas do not emit any EMF's so I can only recommend them at this time. I exclusively use my <a href=\"https://store.myersdetox.com/products/near-infrared-pocket-sauna-basswood\">SaunaSpace Pocket Sauna</a> at home to detox. The Pocket Sauna is such high quality and is the perfect size for any home. You can see all my favorite products from SaunaSpace in the Myers Detox Store.\n\nDetoxification is a life-long process. We are constantly bombarded with chemicals in our air, food, and water. If you don't make an effort to detox these chemicals out of your body, they will inevitably manifest as a disease or chronic health condition depending upon your genetic susceptibility. Since, you have been building up a lifetime of chemicals in your body, it will take you one to three years to completely detox when using the sauna every day to every other day. After this, you can maintain your clean, healthy body by using the sauna twice a week.\n\nHas an infrared sauna healed your illness? How much do you love the sauna?

      "body": "Fatigue is the first sign something’s not working properly in your body. And people will turn to coffee. They’ll turn to stimulants. I totally get it. I’ve been there myself. \n\nBut if you are suffering from chronic fatigue, toxic metals may be to blame!\n\nhttps://myersdetox.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Toxic-Metals-that-Cause-Fatigue-main-graphic.jpg\n\nAre you constantly tired, even though you are eating right, doing regular workouts, and getting ample sleep? Well, it might not be not your fault. Metals like arsenic, aluminum, and thallium may be killing your body’s ability to produce energy! Think of them as energy vampires.\n\nMetal toxicity is an ever-growing threat in modern industrialized society.  This toxicity doesn’t just sap your energy; it doesn’t even let you <em>produce</em> energy. That's right: metals can block energy production in cells.\n<h2>How Your Body Produces Energy</h2>\nTo understand it, let’s begin by looking at how the cells of our body produce energy. We have tiny organelles called mitochondria in our cells.  They are our biobatteries.  They produce energy by releasing it from the food we eat.  Through a process called electron transport chain, they combine the oxygen we breathe and produce ATP, or energy, molecules.\n\nATP, short for adenosine triphosphate, is the biocharged molecule that gives us energy for all our activities.\n\nThis is the reason you breathe and why you gasp for air when you engage in heavy activities like running. Mitochondria need oxygen to churn out ATP energy and meet your needs.\n\nIt all begins with the sun. We walk, talk, run, work, and do all our activities because of the sun.  This is why it's a very important part of energy production to spend time in the sun daily if you're able.\n\nIf you remember from science class, the energy cycle begins with plants. Plants are capable of converting solar energy into bioenergy through photosynthesis. They use the energy for their own purposes and store the rest in the form of sugar and other biological forms. This stored energy is passed on through the food chain.\n\nAll animals that eat plants – and all animals that prey on plant-eating animals – release this energy using their own mitochondria. We, humans, are part of this energy cycle and we release our energy the same way as all the animals.\n\nToxic metals can cause mitochondrial dysfunction (1). And are a major reason you're tired.\n\nMetals attack mitochondria in two ways: 1) they weaken or prevent ATP production and 2) impair the antioxidant systems. Mitochondria have their own antioxidant defense systems such as superoxide dismutase and glutathione, along with its derivatives glutathione disulfide, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase.\n\nMitochondria are the major source of free radical production and they need these antioxidants to remove them, which otherwise are destructive to mitochondria. Metals are one of the body's primary sources of oxidative stress to the body. It takes a lot of the body's energy to remove them.\n\nHave you ever wondered why a girl who eats very little and is very active throughout the day? Where is she getting the energy from? Or what about that boy who is eating a lot but is always slouching and slow? Where does all the food go? You may be thinking, \"I’m eating a healthy diet but I don't have the energy to be as active as I want to be!\"\n\nThis is because mitochondria determine whether you are an active person or someone who is always fatigued.\n\nThe girl’s mitochondria are efficient in producing energy but, in many others who are fatigued, the food just passes through the system without producing much energy. Metal toxicity is a very likely culprit. No matter how healthy your diet, exercise, sleep and supplementation, toxic metals are throwing a monkey wrench into your ATP synthesis machine and preventing energy production.\n\nDysfunctional mitochondria lead to fatigue and in many cases severe chronic fatigue.\n<h2>Are You Suffering from Metal Toxicity?</h2>\nIn short: yes. We all are. Metal toxicity has become unavoidable in this day in age. The industrial revolution brought about the widespread use of metals in industrial, domestic, agricultural, medical, and technological applications. They are being mined from the earth and then get into our air, food and water.\n\nMetal poisoning is, in fact, on the rise in alarming proportions because of frequent exposure to industrial wastes in air, water, pollution, food, medicine, vaccines, paint, and the million conveniences that surround us in modern life.\n\nThe amount of metal toxicity depends upon our absorbed dose, the route of our exposure, and duration of exposure. Insidiously, as you become more toxic, metals can reduce your body's ability to detox them! As your liver, kidneys, colon, skin and other detox organs become riddled with metals, your ability to detox new metals you accumulate is drastically reduced. Some people due to genetic issues can become incapacitated from metal toxicity and suffer chronic fatigue because their bodies simply cannot detox metals.\n\nBut the fact remains that no matter how vigilant one is with their health, no one can avoid absorbing toxins in air, food and water.\n\nThe following metals are notorious for causing fatigue. We will go into greater depth on each of these in later chapters but for now, let's get a quick overview.\n<h2><strong>Arsenic</strong></h2>\nArsenic makes you tired. Period. Arsenic is an incredibly toxic metal that has been classified as human carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the International Agency for Research on Cancer. And despite the threat it poses to our health, it is everywhere!\n\nFirst: arsenic is found in drinking water. A recent study estimates that over 4 million individuals in the US, and over 140 million worldwide, expose themselves to arsenic-contaminated drinking water without even knowing it (2). Well water is a common source of arsenic.\n\nBut that’s not all: arsenic is found in the the air, soils, and even our food! The list of arsenic sources is seemingly endless.\n\nArsenic impairs mitochondrial function by affecting various mitochondrial enzymes. Most of its toxicity results from interacting with sulfhydryl groups of proteins and enzymes, and some from replacing phosphorous in many biochemical reactions (3).\n\nArsenic inactivates essential enzymes of mitochondrial function, such as dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase and thiolase (4, 5). Arsenic further affects mitochondrial function by binding and depleting lipoic acid in cells, interfering with the production of ATP. It can also directly bind to and inactivate ATP (6).\n\nAll these result in the inability to produce energy, which then causes:\n<ul>\n    <li>acute and chronic fatigue</li>\n    <li>muscle weakness</li>\n    <li>headaches</li>\n    <li>drowsiness</li>\n    <li>confusion</li>\n    <li>seizures</li>\n    <li>cell death</li>\n</ul>\nIn addition to affecting mitochondrial enzymes, arsenic directly affects muscle and muscle fibers, causing severe fatigue (7). Those arsenic-affected muscles not only have decreased resistance to fatigue, but also a decreased recovery ability from fatigue.\n\nThere are many other complications that result from arsenic toxicity, such as brain damage (encephalopathy), nerve disease of the extremities (peripheral neuropathy), hemorrhages within the white matter, and even loss myelin shields of the nerve fibers (demyelination). To name just a few.\n\n<a href=\"https://myersdetox.com/arsenic-toxicity/\">Learn more about arsenic toxicity.</a>\n<h2><strong>Aluminum</strong></h2>\nAluminum is the most common metal in the earth’s crust. As a result, everyone is aluminum toxic. Aluminum is used to manufacture beverage cans and cookware. It's added to flour, salt and sugar and municipal water sources. And you're slathering it on your armpits every day! Duh.\n\nWe are exposed to aluminum through drinking water, food, inhalation, and pharmaceuticals like vaccines.\n\nIn the United States, the average adult ingests 7–9mg aluminum each day, mainly through food, air, and drinking water (8). This amount is simply shocking! And over time this adds up to so much neurotoxic aluminum, that it's not surprising that roughly 50% of the US population eventually suffers from some form of dementia later in life.\n\nAluminum toxicity affects glutathione production - the major mitochondrial antioxidant - which is necessary for reversing oxidative stress. Most of the damage by aluminum to mitochondria is caused by aluminum radicals.\n\nAluminum radicals deplete mitochondrial iron content, which leads to generation of free oxygen radicals (9). These oxygen radicals causes serious oxidative damage, which ultimately kills the cells.\n\nAluminum toxicity can cause:\n<ul>\n    <li>extreme exhaustion</li>\n    <li>chronic fatigue</li>\n    <li>breathing disorders</li>\n    <li>muscle weakness</li>\n    <li>sleep disorder</li>\n</ul>\nAluminum toxicity  can also cause cell death because of the free radicals generated by aluminum itself. It's important to realize that aluminum toxicity affects, not only mitochondria, but also the resulting cell death can wreak widespread havoc on the body, causing such things as:\n<ul>\n    <li>bowel dysfunction</li>\n    <li>cardiac complications</li>\n    <li>liver dysfunctions</li>\n    <li>weakened immune system</li>\n    <li>brain disorders</li>\n    <li>Alzheimer’s disease</li>\n    <li>Parkinson’s disease</li>\n</ul>\nFor more information on this toxic metal, please visit our page to learn more about <a href=\"https://myersdetox.com/aluminum-toxicity/\">aluminum toxicity</a>.\n<h2><strong>Thallium</strong></h2>\nThallium is an extremely toxic metal that reduces our ability to produce energy and contributor to adrenal fatigue. Thallium is in fact ten times more toxic than mercury.\n\nHow is it used? Well, to start, it is used in industrial processing of cement. Thallium is also added to gasoline and released into the air by car exhaust. That is why thallium toxicity is extremely prevalent in those who live in urban environments.\n\nYou are also exposed to thallium every time you eat foods harvested from contaminated soils. One particular culprit is kale. Eaten in moderation, it is fine but the tasty and trendy cruciferous vegetable can be hazardous to your health when eaten in abundance.\n\nA 2006 study found that the cruciferous family of vegetables  – kale, cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli – to be hyper-acculumators of thallium, with kale being particularly potent in thallium, even when the soil it was grown in was low in thallium. The reason behind this is still unknown, but one current hypothesis is that organic kale is higher in sulfur, which is known to attract thallium (13).\n\nThallium bioacculumates, meaning, it builds up in the body over time. It can make its way into the body, not only through consumption, but also via skin exposure and inhalation (10).\n\nThallium is a potent mitochondrial poison. It enters mitochondria passively, then causes the mitochondria to swell by accumulating inside. That then causes a decrease in ATP production and increase in reactive oxygen species formation, glutathione oxidation, and in brain decreases in dopamine and serotonin levels (10-12).\n\nThallium poisoning causes extreme and unrelenting fatigue. It blocks potassium channels in the body and causes so many different problems as a result. People with serious mitochondrial dysfunction from thallium can experience:\n<ul>\n    <li>Muscle weakness and pain</li>\n    <li>Gastro-intestinal disorders</li>\n    <li>Loss of motor control</li>\n    <li>Cardiac disease</li>\n    <li>Liver disease</li>\n    <li>Respiratory illness</li>\n    <li>Seizures</li>\n    <li>Visual/hearing problems</li>\n    <li>Lactic acidosis</li>\n    <li>Susceptibility to infection.</li>\n</ul>\nThallium-poisoned people can also experience extreme drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Some lose most (or all) of their scalp hair.  They also will have rapidly progressing and painful sensory polyneuropathy, motor neuropathy, cranial nerve palsies, seizures, impaired ability to coordinate voluntary movements, and mental retardation.\n\nPlease visit our page to learn more about the <a href=\"https://myersdetox.com/thallium-toxicity/\">thallium toxicity</a>.\n<h2>Detox Is Your Path to Greater Energy</h2>\nI have researched and studied these metals and their effect on the body for years. What I've learned is that - bottom line - toxic metals are really what are causing your lack of energy. There’s no amount of coffee that’s going to cover this up.  There is no quick fix. Sure, you can keep covering it up, but not for long because it will always come back to get you. The main path to greater energy is detox.\n\nSo if you want to really help yourself get rid of fatigue and brain fog, as well as produce the amount of energy that will meet your needs (and more!), these metals must be purged from your system and replaced with the minerals your body needs  for optimal health and energy.\n\nBut how do you do that? I can give you a personalized plan and hope to remove these metals so you can begin living the life that you desire and deserve. It all begins with my <a href=\"http://myersdetox.com/mineral-power/\">Myers Detox Protocol Program</a>.\n<h2>What happens when I detoxify metals?</h2>\nHave you noticed that some people are hyperactive and can't sit still? That’s because their energy has to be spent. You can’t stop a machine from running while the power is still on.\n\nIf you want to generate limitless energy and be as active as you desire, you must detoxify to get rid of metal toxins. You’ll naturally be energetic and active once you do!\n\nYou need energy to meet family obligations and do all your work successfully. You need energy to meet your goals and tend to your hobbies. With your mitochondria efficiently producing energy, you can easily accomplish your goals and live the life you dream of.\n\n\n<h2>Ready to Detox Your Body and Reset Your Brain?</h2>\nI’ve created the **“Ultimate Detox Checklist”** that will help you improve your energy levels, brain function, and productivity.\n\n[Get the checklist here!](https://go.detoxforenergy.com/detox_free)\n\n<h2>Learn to Detox from the Experts</h2>\nLearn from 38 of the world’s top detox experts for free in this interview series \n[The Heavy Metals Summit.](http://theheavymetalssummit.com/?idev_id=16197&idev_username=WendyMyers&utm_source=16197)",

      "body": "Are you tired all the time? Can't seem to shake the feeling you should have more energy? You need a few proven strategies like these top 10 ways to boost energy. Put down that energy shot!<!--more--> Do you wish you had more energy? You aren’t the only one. From Starbucks and 5 Hour Energy to Red Bull, the world spends billions of dollars every year for that little bit of extra energy to get us through the day. The problem is, we tend to rely on things which provide at best, only a temporary boost and drain our energy bank account.\n\nhttps://myersdetox.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Top-10-ways-to-increase-energy-750px.jpg\n\nSometimes, all the coffee in the world couldn’t make us feel alert, and other times we feel alert for a few hours only to end up right back where we started. Ditch the caffeine—okay, maybe not—and give these 10 quick, easy energy boosters a go.\n<h2>#1 Max out Melatonin</h2>\nThe blue light that emanates from the electronic devices we’re all so attached to slows the production of melatonin, which is the fastest route to losing sleep. Experts recommend tuning out from the TV and iPhone at least two hours before we hit the sack, but that usually doesn’t happen. Wearing orange or amber-tinted glasses while you use electronics before bed allows you to block out blue light and get a better night’s rest.\n<h2>#2 Mix Coconut Oil and Bee Pollen</h2>\nWhen my energy starts to dip, I reach for a teaspoon of coconut oil sprinkled with bee pollen. Call it \"Energy in a Spoon.\" Bee pollen has many benefits and is packed with B vitamins and nutrients that increase your stamina and focus. Coconut oil is made up of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), which your body and brain can quickly burn as energy. This gives me enough energy to sprint to the end of the day and enthusiastically tackle whatever is left on my to-do list. [Tweet \"It is the balance of minerals in your body that determine how much energy you will have!\"]\n<h2>#3 Take a Cold Shower</h2>\nA one-minute cold shower is enough to counteract some of the effects of chronic fatigue. Taking a cold shower in the morning, and feeling cold water pour down over your body seems more horrifying than soothing. But it really works. The deep breathing in response to your body’s shock helps you keep warm, as it increases your overall oxygen intake. Your heart rate will also increase, releasing a rush of blood through your entire body. This gives you a natural dose of energy for the day.\n<h2>#4 Pop a Pill</h2>\nVitamin B in its various forms is essential for energy production. B vitamins are used up during stress. And I know you're stressed! Even if you don't feel stressed, internal stressors like metal and chemical toxicity and gut infections can drain our energy. Try a vitamin B complex supplement that contains all eight B vitamins to cover all the basics.\n<h2></h2>\n<h2>#5 Meditate Your Butt Off</h2>\nMeditation is a highly effective solution for increased energy. The good news is meditation neutralizes how you interact with stress, mentally and physically, with the net result being more energy. Meditation aids sleep. Meditation boosts melatonin, a naturally occurring compound so often reduced because of stress, it comes as no surprise that people are able to sleep more soundly, waking up feeling refreshed each morning, with all day lasting energy. Mediation really has too many energy boosting benefits to list.\n<h2>#6 Take a Breath of Fresh Air</h2>\n<img class=\"alignright wp-image-26022\" src=\"https://myersdetox.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/go_outside.png\" alt=\"go_outside\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" />Head into the great outdoors - even a park will do. Just 20 minutes outdoors is enough to feel rejuvenated, energized and in touch with nature. Environmental cues play a huge role in regulating the body's circadian rhythms and our sleep/wake cycle. Exposure to bright sunlight, especially in the early morning, helps you get better sleep at night, which nets you more energy.\n<h2>#7 Take a Short Walk</h2>\nOff a long pier. Even a 10-minute walk can help you overcome feelings of fatigue. Any kind of exercise helps to increase the number of energy-producing mitochondria in your cells and boosts brain chemicals like dopamine and serotonin, which are responsible for positive emotion and increased energy. Physical activity oxygenates blood cells, helping to refill your body's fuel tank.\n<h2>#8 Remineralize</h2>\nMost people today are mineral deficient due to stress, bad diets and a nutrient deficient food supply. I had one client that had magnesium levels of 2 on his hair mineral analysis! He was very close to having a heart attack that could have cost him his life - just because he was missing one mineral!\n\nYou need minerals for your body to work - to make enzymes, promote cellular metabolism and conduct electricity - yet many overlook this simple strategy. When you don't have adequate minerals, naturally your body cannot function optimally and you feel tired all the time. Every person I have put on a multi-mineral is amazed at how much energy they feel in the first week alone.\n<blockquote><i>\"It is the relationships between the minerals in your body that determine how much energy you will have.\" </i>Dr. Paul Eck, hair mineral analysis researcher</blockquote>\nYou cannot be healthy without adequate mineral levels. It has been estimated that many vital minerals are deficient in up to 90% of the population. Mineral levels are lower today due to hybridization of foods and modern industrial agricultural methods that do not return enough trace minerals to the soil.\n\nTo add insult to injury, the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides result in much lower levels of trace minerals in the food supply. Due to this modern reality, mineral deficiency is almost universal today, and becomes worse with age.\n\nYou must not only mineralize your body, but <i>balance</i> the minerals in your body. Most are supplementing minerals, but this is not enough. True health results when minerals are in balance. For instance, when calcium and magnesium are balanced, blood sugar issues and hypoglycemia are nonexistent. When sodium and magnesium are balanced, the adrenal glands are healthy.\n\nWhen calcium and phosphorus are in balance, you have an efficiently running (soaring) metabolism. I can give you many more examples but you get the idea. With my system will you have the tools to <i>balance</i> minerals. <img class=\"alignright wp-image-26289\" src=\"https://myersdetox.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/pill.jpg\" alt=\"pill\" width=\"300\" height=\"229\" />\n\nTo balance minerals, you must employ a targeted nutrient therapy program that is custom to your body chemistry. A hair mineral analysis reveals your body chemistry and provides a blueprint to provide your body with the exact nutrients it needs to put it back into balance.\n\nWithout proper testing you have no clue what supplements to take. Most people today are using the \"shotgun approach\" when it comes to their supplement regime. But you need to be using the \"sniper approach\" with supplements custom to your body chemistry.\n\n<b>Taking the wrong supplements can destroy your health</b> <b>and slow your metabolism.</b> I see this EVERY DAY in my practice. What’s good for one person, may be toxic for another! There are many supplements that people take every day because mainstream medicine suggests this is a good idea.\n\nA mineral that is abused by most women is calcium. We have been indoctrinated to take 1500mg a day to have healthy bones. All that calcium can end up being deposited in your tissues causing hard muscles, hardened arteries and slowing your metabolism if not taken with the correct nutrients and correct amounts. What women really need is magnesium, which tells calcium to deposit in the bones. Calcium is good for some, but certainly not for everyone.\n\nAnother common mineral in most supplements that can be potentially disastrous for your health is copper. After testing, I find a lot of clients have copper toxicity due to imbalances in the body and adrenal fatigue. Supplementing copper in a multivitamin every day is the absolute worst thing you can do if you’re copper toxic. Copper toxicity causes weight gain, pms, female reproductive issues like fibroids and endometriosis, infertility, headaches and too many health conditions to list.\n\nI could list many other mistakes people are making that are causing them more harm than good, but you get the idea. You need to test, don’t guess. You don’t want to throw the kitchen sink at your body when it comes to supplements. Your body needs targeted nutrient therapy based upon your individual biochemistry. Without knowing your mineral levels, there’s NO way to know what to take!\n<h2>#9 Become a Sweat Shop</h2>\n<img class=\"alignright wp-image-25063 size-full\" src=\"https://myersdetox.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/HYPOALLERGENICBUNDLE.MAIN_.jpg\" alt=\"sauna space infrared sauna\" width=\"249\" height=\"300\" />Detox in a near infrared sauna. Many people don't realize it, but heavy metals and chemicals are zapping their energy. In 2009, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) published its <em>Fourth National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals</em>, which pointed out that people have an <em>average</em> of 500 environmental chemicals in their bodies.\n\nHeavy metals and chemicals interfere with the body's metabolic function, draining you of precious energy. But there is hope in our increasingly toxic world. A near infrared sauna is a very best way to sweat out all these toxins, leaving you with a healthy, clean, energized body.\n<h2>#10 The Permanent Energy Fix</h2>\nYou need a lot of tricks in your toolbox - a complete strategy and system to rev up your energy - permanently. I have spent years creating a simple two-step system to reclaim the energy of your youth. This is how I reclaimed my energy!\n\n\n<h2>Ready to Detox Your Body and Reset Your Brain?</h2>\nI’ve created the **“Ultimate Detox Checklist”** that will help you improve your energy levels, brain function, and productivity.\n\n[Get the checklist here!](https://go.detoxforenergy.com/detox_free)\n\n<h2>Learn to Detox from the Experts</h2>\nLearn from 38 of the world’s top detox experts for free in this interview series \n[The Heavy Metals Summit.](http://theheavymetalssummit.com/?idev_id=16197&idev_username=WendyMyers&utm_source=16197)",

      "body": "The answer to this question lays the basic foundation of health. When I first asked myself this question, I began a quest that left me frustrated and bewildered. There are too many options! This article serves to demystify what kind of water you should drink. <!--more-->\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/zs9fpPBgvvc\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\nAs a health coach, I'm always asked, \"What kind of water should I drink? Is my water filter adequate? Is tap water ok? Should I only drink alkaline water?\" This issue has become increasingly complex. It took me months to figure out what kind of water filtration system to buy and what kind of water to drink. I went all over Los Angeles searching for the 'best' water, the best filter, my fountain of youth and health. My discoveries may surprise you.\n<h2>Types of Water</h2>\nPure water is a type of “whole food.” Like other whole foods, when it is tampered with, water loses most of its precious healing properties. Water is tampered with any time one adds anything to it, filters it using anything except carbon, spins it, alkalizes it, or does other things to it. All of these manipulations tend to ruin it, rendering it less healthy and hydrating. To clarify all the confusion, I've listed many different types of water or ways in which it can be tampered.\n\n<b><strong>Spring Water.</strong> </b>Spring water is the only type of water you should drink. It’s okay if you drink other water occasionally, but try to make spring water the majority of the water you drink. Spring water has been filtered by the earth in ways we do not completely understand, but which works better than any invented means of purifying water. Another advantage is that it contains a wide variety of trace minerals that the human body desperately needs. Ideally, drink only spring water from remote places on earth. It will be freer from pollutants. I like Ice Age water from a remote Glacier in Canada for its mineral profile. I love Hawaiian waters that run through mineral-rich volcanic rock (Hawaii is one of the most remote places on earth). I also drink <a href=\"http://www.mountainvalleyspring.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mountain Valley Spring Water</a> from Arkansas. It's one of the only spring waters I have found bottled in glass. Other spring water examples include Evian, Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water, Volvic, and Poland brands. You can also cheaply buy safe spring near you at <a href=\"http://Findaspring.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Findaspring.com</a>.\n\n<strong>Artesian Water.</strong> This is spring water. Artesian water comes from a well that is dug in the earth. When the well is dug, the internal pressure from the hole causes the water to burst forth spontaneously from the well like a fountain. Artesian water comes from a well that taps a <em>confined aquifer </em>- a water-bearing underground layer of rock or sand in which the water level is above the top of the aquifer. Examples include Fiji brand water.\n\n<strong>Reverse Osmosis.</strong> This method involves passing water at high pressure through a plastic membrane with tiny holes in it. This is a common filtration method in many bottled waters as it produces very pure water. It is used in almost all home and commercial \"drinking water\" machines such as those in water stores, supermarkets and health food stores. It is also used industrially in bottling plants for soda pop, soups, juices, beer and many other drinks. I bought a reverse osmosis alkaline water system for $1100 before I had done my research. Excited about my new purchase, I drank 10 glasses of water a day. I drank more and more, drinking ten glasses of water a day for weeks. But I was still thirsty! I never felt satiated. Then I read on <a href=\"http://www.drlwilson.com/articles/water.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. L Wilson's website</a> that reverse osmosis water does not hydrate as well as spring water. I can certainly attest to this. Since then, I have only drunk spring water and feel fully hydrated after 8 glasses a day. Reverse osmosis, sadly, is not good for drinking. In fact, it is terrible. It does not matter if someone has added minerals back to it. These things cannot undo the damage to the water that occurs due to passing it through the plastic membrane. Examples include Dasani.\n\n[Tweet \"Ever wonder what kind of water you should be drinking?\"]\n\n<strong>Alkaline Water.</strong> Alkaline water has been ionized to increase its pH to between 8 and 10. Some believe that the health benefits of alkaline water are overstated, and that it has little to do with stabilizing or reducing acidity in the body, but is more of a marketing scam. A major issue with this kind of water is that there is not enough research conclusively showing the benefits actually exist. Even if many of the claims are true, the only people who really would benefit are individuals who have trouble keeping their body alkaline due to a bad diet, or people who have problems with their natural buffering systems.\n\nAlkaline water systems include the Jupiter, I-Water, Kangen, and others. Some devices pass tap water through a carbon filter, which does not remove many toxic metals and often does not even remove too many toxic chemicals because the water must move quickly through the filter. Then the water passes over electrified platinum and titanium plates to alkalinize it. Platinum is a deadly toxic metal, as is titanium. Some people find that they develop extreme platinum or titanium metal toxicity after using these machines. It creates a very toxic, artificially alkaline water that still contains most tap water toxins as well. Because of this problem alone, I do not recommend these filters.\n\nOther water alkalizers begin with reverse osmosis water, to which coral calcium is added to make it more alkaline. This form of calcium contains toxic metals as well. Because of the nature of reverse osmosis water, the toxic metals easily reach the brain and other tissues, where they cause all kinds of health problems.\n\nSome say alkaline water is beneficial because of its alkalinity (High pH-balance) and ORP (<a href=\"http://www.healthalkaline.com/alkalinewater/answer-to-freezing-kangen-alkaline-water/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oxidation Reduction Potential</a>) that makes it an antioxidant. However, the antioxidant value only lasts 18-24 hours after it's made. The higher pH will last approximately 1-2 weeks. The smaller molecule cluster size of its water will last about 1-3 months. Given these facts, bottling alkaline water makes no sense, because the health benefits are gone is such a short period. Don't waste your money.\n\nIt is far better to alkalize the body with lots of vegetables, drinking spring water, and targeted supplements. Never drink alkaline water for more than a few weeks.\n\n<strong>Tap Water. </strong>Tap water contains heavy metals, fluoride, chlorine, medicines like antibiotics and antidepressants and hundreds of chemicals, many of which are not even measured or regulated. Fluoride causes many, many side effects, weakening bones and increasing your chance of developing osteoporosis and cancer, yet it’s added to almost every municipal water supply in the country. Drink it if you dare. Tap water, if unfiltered, often has too many toxic metals and chemicals in it to be good for drinking. If tap water is filtered with only carbon, then it will hydrate the body and can be used for drinking, but is not usually as good as a high quality spring water. Note that carbon can remove some chlorine, but not fluorides. Since city regulators do not monitor or filter for medications, there are hundreds of medications in your tap water. Probably not a good idea to drink tap water.\n\n<strong>Drinking water. </strong>Drinking water comes from a municipal source, but is better known as tap water. Don't bother paying for bottled drinking water that you can get out of your tap. Examples include Sahara and Kirkland brands.\n\n<strong>Distilled Water.</strong> Distilled water has gone through a rigorous filtration process to strip it not only of contaminants, but any natural minerals as well. When water is distilled, by boiling it and condensing it, all solid matter is left except chemicals that were in the water.  Most industrial distillers have methods to capture these substances to prevent them from remaining in the water. For this reason, I find that industrially distilled water is the very best.<b> </b>I do not recommend buying a home distiller because they cannot match the purity of industrial distillers. Spring and tap water can supply 30 or 40 trace minerals that the body needs in small quantities, but distilled water is lacking minerals rendering it inferior for this reason. Because it is devoid of minerals, distilled water grabs and holds onto minerals in the body, a process called chelation. Distilled water can be used for a few months to remove toxic metals and toxic chemicals from the body quite effectively. Drinking distilled water for longer than this, however, always results in vital mineral deficiencies. Examples of distilled water include Sparkletts and SmartWater.\n\n<strong>Mineral Water. </strong>Mineral water contains no less than 250 parts per million total dissolved mineral solids and is defined by its constant level of mineral and trace elements at the point of emergence from the source. No minerals can be added to the water. Examples include Panna from Italy.\n\n<strong>Sparkling Mineral Water.</strong> Yes, the fizzy kind. But what makes it fizzy? This type of water contains the same amount of carbon dioxide that it had when it emerged from its source. Sparkling bottled waters may be labeled as sparkling drinking water, sparkling mineral water, sparkling spring water, etc. Examples include Perrier and Pellegrino.\n\n<strong>Well Water. </strong>Well water can be fine, but often it is contaminated. This is especially the case if one lives in a location that was ever used for industry or agriculture. Even if your location is pristine, wells can easily become contaminated, especially with minerals such as iron and manganese. State testing laboratories cannot or will not test for hundreds of toxic chemicals and they often don’t even test for contaminants such as high levels of manganese. If you have a well, try to check carefully before using it for drinking purposes. Many of my clients that drink from wells usually have manganese toxicity, but usually have others as well. This shows on their <a title=\"What is Hair Mineral Analysis?\" href=\"https://liveto110.com/what-is-hair-mineral-analysis/\">hair mineral analysis</a>.\n<h2>Bottled Water</h2>\nBottled water pollutes the environment and is often nothing more than tap water. Always recycle! When you must use bottled water, choose brands with high quality scores on <a href=\"http://www.ewg.org/bottled-water-2011-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EWG's Bottled Water Scorecard</a>.\n\nEnvironmental Working Group, a consumer watchdog, analyzed 173 bottled water products to determine if companies disclose information on where water comes from, how or if their water is treated, and whether the results of purity testing are revealed. The nonprofit also looked at how effective and advanced the water treatment methods were that were used on the bottled waters.\n\nConsumers have the right to know where their water comes from and what's in it so they can make informed choices that affect the health of themselves and their families. Tap water is regularly tested and consumers <a href=\"https://www.epa.gov/ground-water-and-drinking-water/table-regulated-drinking-water-contaminants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">can find contaminants in their tap water online</a>. That's not the case with bottled water, which is not required to disclose that information to consumers. For this reason, bottled water is often no better than tap water.\n\nFind out what's in your bottled water in <a href=\"http://www.ewg.org/research/ewg-bottled-water-scorecard-2011/tips-safe-drinking-water\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EWG's Bottled Water Scorecard</a>. Results for 173 bottled water brands are included in the report. Filtered tap water received the best grade, A, from EWG because it is purer than bottled water. Here are the scores for the top 10 U.S. brands:\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">1. Pure Life Purified Water (Nestle), EWG grade = B</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">2. Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water (Nestle), EWG grade = C</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">3. Aquafina Purified Drinking Water (Pepsi), EWG grade = D</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">4. Dasani Purified Water (Coca-Cola), EWG grade = D</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">5. Deer Park Natural Spring Water (Nestle), EWG grade = D</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">6. Ice Mountain Natural Spring Water (Nestle), EWG grade = D</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">7.

Zephyrhills Natural Spring Water (Nestle), EWG grade = D</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">10. Crystal Geyser Natural Alpine Spring Water (CG Roxane), EWG grade = F</p>\n\n\nSlick marketing campaigns have managed to turn an essential part of your diet into a pure disaster. We now have an ever-widening array of flavored water, \"zero calorie\" water, and so-called \"enhanced\" or \"functional\" water products on the market. Avoid them all. Typically, they will add artificial sweeteners and artificial coloring. These enhanced water products, if they don't contain aspartame, contain enormous amounts of sugar and fructose, adding to the many health problems caused by both excessive fructose consumption and genetically engineered ingredients (as most high fructose corn syrup is made from genetically modified corn). Clearly, any type of water other than spring or purified water is not going to improve your health, and should be avoided entirely.\n<h2>Water Filters</h2>\nEven though it's best for you body to drink spring water, it is not always practical. Installation of a home water filter system is wise for drinking, cooking, washing vegetables, and even showering. One of your best bets for clean, pure water is to simply install a high quality water filter for your entire home. A whole house carbon filter will remove contaminants from steamy chemical-laden vapors you and your family inhale while showering and washing dishes. It's wise to install a house filter because the body absorbs a substantial amount of toxins, including fluoride and chlorine, through the skin during showers and baths.\n\nI've compiled a guide for you to figure out the best filtration system for your needs. For more information on why, how, and where to buy a filter, see <a href=\"http://www.ewg.org/report/ewgs-water-filter-buying-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EWG's Water Filter Buying Guide</a>. Great filters and live customer service to help you choose the right system for you can be found at <a href=\"http://www.apswater.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">APS Water</a>. Follow these steps to find out the filtration system that's right for you.\n\n<strong>1. Consider the style of water filter that will best fit your needs. </strong>\n\nHousehold water filters generally fall into one of two categories: point-of-entry units, which treat water before it gets distributed throughout the house; and point-of-use units, which include countertop filters (e.g. filter pitchers or <a href=\"http://quenchonline.com/counter-top-water-coolers/\">countertop water cooler</a> ), faucet filters, and under-the-sink units.\n\n<strong>2. Determine what contaminants you need to remove. </strong>You may already know what chemical pollutants you want to be sure your water filter removes. But if you don't, a great place to start is to look at what kinds of contaminants are showing up in your community's drinking water. Look up your water system on <a href=\"http://www.ewg.org/tap-water/whats-in-yourwater\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EWG's tap water database</a>. Can't find your system? Call your local water utility and ask them to send you a copy of their Consumer Confidence Report, which contains information on its testing of your system’s water.\n\n<strong>3. Choose the type of filter that best fits your needs.</strong> This list was reprinted from EWG's site.\n<ul>\n \t<li><b>Carbon/Activated Carbon:</b> Activated carbon chemically bonds with and removes some contaminants in water filtered through it. Carbon filters vary greatly in effectiveness: some just remove chlorine and improve taste and odor, while others remove a wide range of contaminants including asbestos, lead, mercury and VOCs. However, activated carbon cannot effectively remove other common \"inorganic\" pollutants such as arsenic, fluoride, hexavalent chromium, nitrate and perchlorate. These filters come in two forms, carbon block and granulated activated carbon.</li>\n</ul>\n<ol>\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n \t<li><b>Carbon Block:</b> Carbon block filters contain pulverized activated carbon shaped into blocks under high pressure. They are typically more effective than granulated activated carbon filters because they have more surface area of activated carbon. Their effectiveness depends in part on how quickly water flows through. A proprietary form called \"Fibredyne block\" claims to have a higher sediment holding capacity relative to other carbon block filters.</li>\n \t<li><b>Granulated Activated Carbon:</b> These filters contain fine grains of activated carbon. They are typically less effective than carbon block filters because of their smaller surface area. Effectiveness also depends how quickly water flows through.</li>\n</ol>\n</li>\n</ol>\n<ul>\n \t<li><b></b><b>Reverse Osmosis:</b> This process relies on a semi-permeable membrane that retains particles larger than water molecules. Reverse osmosis can remove many contaminants not removed by carbon, including arsenic, fluoride, hexavalent chromium, nitrates and perchlorate. Quality varies, both in terms of the membrane system itself and the carbon filter typically used with it. The filters use 3 times to 20 times more water than they produce, so they are usually used only for drinking and cooking water.</li>\n \t<li><b>Ceramic:</b> Ceramic filters have with very small holes throughout the material that block solid contaminants such as cysts and sediments from passing through. They do not remove chemical contaminants.</li>\n \t<li><b>Deionization:</b> An ion exchange process removes mineral salts and other electrically charged molecules from water. The process cannot remove non-ionic contaminants (including disinfection byproducts and other common volatile organic compounds) or microorganisms. This filtration method makes the water alkaline.</li>\n \t<li><b>Ion Exchange:</b> This technology passes water over a resin that replaces undesirable ions (charged particles) with others that are more desirable. One common application is water softening, replacing calcium and magnesium with sodium. The resin must be periodically “recharged” with replacement ions. Ion exchange filters are occasionally combined with other types of filters and are used in water softeners, described below. This filtration method makes the water alkaline.</li>\n \t<li><b>Ozone:</b> Ozone kills bacteria and other microorganisms and is often used in conjunction with other filtering technologies. It is not effective in reducing levels of chemical contaminants.</li>\n \t<li><b>UV (ultraviolet):</b> These systems use ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and other microorganisms. They cannot remove chemical contaminants.</li>\n \t<li><b>Water Softeners:</b> These devices use ion exchange to lower levels of calcium and magnesium (which can build up in plumbing and fixtures) as well barium and certain forms of radium. They do not remove most other contaminants. Since water softeners usually replace calcium and magnesium with sodium, treated water typically has high sodium content. Some people may be advised by their physicians to avoid softened water. It is also not recommended for watering plants and gardens for the same reason.</li>\n</ul>\nNo filter will give you good performance over the long-term unless it receives regular maintenance. As contaminants build up, a filter cannot only become less effective, but also make your water worse by releasing harmful bacteria or chemicals back into your filtered water.\n<h2>The Water Filter I Recommend</h2>\nIn my research, I've come across many different products but it was the <a href=\"http://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=liveto110\">Ultra-UC Water Filter/Revitalizer</a><strong> </strong>made by PureEffect Advanced Filtration that truly stood out from all other water filters. I love that they have so many different models to meet everyone's needs, including a whole house filter.\n\nIt caught my attention because the <a href=\"http://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=liveto110\">Ultra-UC Water Filter/Revitalizer</a> made by PureEffect Advanced Filtration is the first filter I've seen that removes such a broad spectrum of pollutants, removes radiation, restores water's natural pH, isn't made in China, and is affordable for most households. And if you move, you can bring it with you.  It truly is a water filter for every household.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=liveto110\" rel=\"http://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=liveto110\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-22269 size-full\" style=\"display: none !important;\" src=\"https://liveto110.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/300X250_New_PE-1.jpg\" alt=\"300X250_New_PE-1\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" /></a>\n\n<strong><em>Water Pollutants Removed</em></strong>\n\nTo the best of my knowledge the <a href=\"http://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=liveto110\">Ultra-UC Water Filter/Revitalizer</a> is the only All-In-One system of it's kind that removes:\n\n<strong>1. Radioisotopes</strong> that get into our water from Leaking Nuclear Plants, Fukushima Fallout, and Uranium/Plutonium Mining. This is the only filter I've ever seen that removes radioactive particles.\n\n<strong>2. Drug Residues</strong> that are not required by law to be removed at water treatment plants. This is the only filter I've seen, aside from reverse osmosis, to remove drug residues.\n\n<strong>3. Fluoride</strong> using an all-natural alumina-free activated carbon bonded with calcium, shown to be 20% more effective at removing fluoride than the commonly used activated alumina. Fluoride blocks thyroid function! You don't want to drink this toxin added to most tap water sources in the US.\n\n<strong>4. Disinfection Chemical Additives </strong>including both Chloramines and Chlorine.\n\n<strong>5. Disinfection Chemical By-Products</strong> such as Trihalomethanes, one of which is Chloroform.\n\n<strong>6. Heavy Metals</strong> including Lead, Aluminum, Mercury, Barium, Iron &amp; Other Positively Charged metal ions.\n\n<strong>7. VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds)</strong> such as benzene, xylene and other solvents that are byproducts of the petroleum industry.\n\n<strong>8. Agricultural Contaminants</strong> such as pesticides, herbicides and insecticides.\n\n<strong>9. Microbial Cysts</strong> including Giardia &amp; Cryptosporidum, which survive disinfection.\n\n10. <strong>Sediment down</strong> to ultra-fine size of 0.5 Micron, approximately 50x smaller than a grain of beach sand.\n<h2>Plastic, Glass, or Stainless Steel?</h2>\nPlastic chemicals can leach out of plastic bottles and contaminate the water, like phthalates and bisphenol-A (BPA). Then there's the issue with all that plastic trash being generated, which is wreaking havoc on our environment. Less then 30% of plastic bottles are recycled. Glass is the best option for your drinking water.\n\nChemicals used to make plastic bottles may leach into the contents, especially when the contents are heated (during transport, storage, or left in your car). One of the primary concerns is bisphenol-A or BPA, a hormone disruptor that mimics estrogen in your body. Research suggests that BPA exposure is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, obesity, <a href=\"https://liveto110.com/estrogen-dominance-syndrome/\">estrogen dominance syndrome</a> and a whole host of diseases. These plastics get in your body and gum up your metabolic pathways, inhibiting health and weight loss. Time Magazine reported, \"BPA is particularly worrisome simply because it is so common. Nearly every American has some amount of BPA in his or her body, in part because plastics are so ubiquitous.\"\n\nWhile many plastic water bottles don't contain BPA, bottles with resin codes 3 or 7 in the recycle triangle may. However, 95 percent of all plastic products in one study tested positive for estrogenic activity, meaning they can still disrupt your hormones even if they carry a BPA-free label. Even more disconcerting is the finding that BPA-free plastics can be even more harmful than BPA plastics. Rather than BPA, a more harmful plastic hardener, BPS, may be used. BPS is found to be almost 20 times more harmful that BPA, but there is very little research into this substance.\n\nConsumers who switch from plastic water bottles to metal ones in hopes of avoiding the risk that bisphenol-A will leach into their beverages aren’t necessarily any better off, a new study finds. Some metal water bottles leach more BPA than do ones made from the now-pariah plastic due to an epoxy-resin lining based on BPA’s recipe. However, most stainless steel bottles do not have this liner. Stainless steel leaches metal into your water as well. I don't know about you, but I took one drink and couldn't stand the metallic taste of water from a stainless steel bottle.\n\nGlass bottles, however, also leach chemicals, including aluminum, explains a study by Clemens Reimann of the Norges Geologiske Undersøkelse in Norway. Aluminum is sometimes added to soda-lime glass to make bottles more durable. Soda-lime glass is used for everyday items such as bottles for beverages, jars for food, and drinking glasses. However, it's much safer than plastic. It's the best and safest option for your drinking water. This is why I drink <a href=\"http://www.mountainvalleyspring.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mountain Valley Spring Water</a> from Arkansas. It's one of the only spring waters I have found bottled in glass.\n\nHave you started drinking water yet? When I began writing this article, I started chugging water immediately and don't plan to stop! Do your health a favor. Reduce your coffee, skip the sodas, drink the crappy water you have in your house and don't ever buy it again, start drinking pure spring water by the gallon and invest in an <a href=\"http://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=liveto110\">Ultra-UC Water Filter/Revitalizer</a> filter or whole house filter.\n\nDid you buy a water filter and later regretted it? Do you have a story like mine about drinking tons of purified water and not feeling hydrated? Get ripped off buying an expensive, gimmicky water filtration system?

      "body": "Having trouble losing weight? Did you know there are toxic chemicals in your body causing resistant weight loss? You can lose weight in an infrared sauna by burning calories and detoxing obesogens.\n\nThe secret is out on sauna weight loss!\n\nhttps://myersdetox.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Sunlighten-INfrared-Sauna.png\n\nAn infrared sauna can help you lose weight by detoxifying the body of toxins that promote weight gain and burning calories while you relax in total comfort.\n\nI struggled with resistant weight loss for years. Only when I began detoxing and using an infrared sauna on a regular basis was I finally able to get my weight (and health) under control.\n\nMaintaining a healthy weight is important to your overall quality of life. That’s no secret. In fact, a 10-year study published by The New England Journal of Medicine discovered that the circumference of your waist alone is a critical factor for assessing the risk of premature death. (1)\n\nIn other words, by maintaining a healthy weight, you may be able to live a longer, healthier life, hopefully to 110!\n<h2>Can't Lose Weight? Here's why...</h2>\nObesogens are toxic chemicals that promote weight gain and prevent weight loss. If you have trouble losing weight, obesogenic chemicals are going to be a big reason why. And only using an infrared sauna is going to solve this problem. Allow me to explain.\n\nConventional thinking around weight management has always hovered around two things – diet and exercise. This is the whole “calories in/calories out” model, that we are now understanding more and more isn’t accurate. There is far more going on than just energy intake and energy expenditure.\n\nThere are culprits in our environment called obesogens that are making us fat.\n\nMost people don’t realize that products they're using every day contain toxins and chemicals that are promoting weight gain. Things like our shampoo, beauty products, perfume, the packaging our food comes in, food, household cleaners, and much more, all contain toxins called obesogens.\n\nObesogens are chemicals that directly or indirectly increase obesity through disruption of metabolic, hormonal, or developmental processes. They have the ability to alter fat cell development, alter metabolism, and promote fat retention. They cause weight gain, insulin resistance and diabetes.\n\nThere are currently 20 chemicals that have been identified as obesogens, but there are certainly far more than this list! They include nicotine, MSG, arsenic, atrazine, DDT, high fructose corn syrup, parabens, fragrance, phthalates and BPA.\n\nIn fact, this chart shows the correlation between the rise in chemical production, and introduction of toxic chemicals, into our environment and our rising obesity rates.\n\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-33537 aligncenter\" src=\"https://liveto110.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/unnamed-601x425.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"601\" height=\"425\" />\n\n<strong>When you use an infrared sauna, you SWEAT out these fattening chemicals! </strong>And you have to use a sauna on a regular basis to maintain a healthy weight as we are exposed to these chemicals daily.  This is one of the many benefits of sauna use.\n\nIf you want to lose weight or combat resistant weight loss, you've got to get these chemicals out of your body. This is especially true of many readers who have tried diet, exercise and everything under the sun and have not been able to lose weight. I know. I've been there, done that. It wasn't until I began using a sauna that got my weight under control.\n\n<strong>Obesogenic chemicals are the reason you're not losing weight. And only using regular infrared sauna use is going to solve this problem. </strong>\n<h2>Infrared Heat Technology</h2>\nThat’s where the Sunlighten brand of weight training comes in: sauna weight loss. Using <a href=\"http://www.sunlighten.com/why-sunlighten/solocarbon-far-infrared-heating-technology/?leadsource=WendyMyers\">infrared heat technology</a> to burn calories, Sunlighten saunas are clinically shown to aid weight loss.\n\nIn a 2009 study, Sunlighten <a href=\"https://store.myersdetox.com/search?type=product&amp;q=sunlighten\">infrared saunas</a> were shown to help lower weight and waist circumference in just a three-month period. (1)\n\nThe common theme among subjects in the study was that far infrared sauna use was similar to moderate exercise but \"much more relaxing\".  Therefore, Sunlighten saunas can be an effective lifestyle advantage for those who cannot participate in traditional exercise programs due to medical conditions such as osteoarthritis, cardiovascular or respiratory problems. (1)\n\nIn addition, according to information published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, infrared sauna weight loss sessions were shown to burn up to 600 calories. (2)\n\nDuring a sauna weight loss session, core temperatures increase. The body has to work hard to cool itself, causing a healthy sweat. Using an <a href=\"https://store.myersdetox.com/search?type=product&amp;q=sunlighten\">infrared sauna</a> increases heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate, burning more calories, leading to more weight loss. And blood flow rises, increasing from 5-7 quarts up to 13 quarts a minute. (3)\n\nPlus, regular use of a Sunlighten sauna may provide many of the same benefits as regular exercise, such as cardiovascular conditioning. That’s right, using Sunlighten for infrared weight loss therapy is like giving yourself a passive cardio workout – wherever and whenever you need it!\n\n<a href=\"http://sunlighten.com/?leadsource=WendyMyers\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-33523\" src=\"https://liveto110.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Sunlighten-Sauna-lady-1030x687.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" /></a>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions About Sauna Weight Loss</h2>\n<strong>Q: How do saunas help me lose weight?</strong>\n<strong>A:</strong> Sunlighten saunas have been proven to aid in weight loss by heating your core temperature to induce sweating. Increases in blood flow and heart rate are a result, which, much like moderate exercise, has shown to help you lose weight. Saunas also help you lose weight by easing aches and pains associated with weight training, helping you get back into the gym the next day.\n\n<strong>Q: How much weight can I lose in a sauna?</strong>\n<strong>A:</strong> There’s a lot that goes into weight loss, including your current weight, and eating and exercise habits. Just as there’s no one diet for every person, there’s no one number of pounds lost using an infrared sauna. Sessions have been shown to burn as much as 200-600 calories, which may be similar to an hour-long jogging session on a treadmill.\n\n<strong>Q: How do I use a sauna to lose weight?</strong>\n<strong>A:</strong> The most popular way to lose weight in an infrared sauna is to sit back and enjoy your session! But there are many more ways to enhance your session and subsequent weight loss. Like performing hot yoga while in your Sunlighten sauna. This could not only improve weight loss, but offers <a href=\"http://www.sunlighten.com/blogs/far-infrared-sauna-increase-your-flexibility-during-national-yoga-awareness-month/?leadsource=WendyMyers\">a host of other health benefits</a> like flexibility and better sleep. If hot yoga sounds too strenuous, consider adding mild stretching to your sauna session. This low-impact workout is not only relaxing but it helps raise your core temperature a bit more – effectively aiding in weight loss while in the sauna. For the best weight loss results, use the <a href=\"http://www.sunlighten.com/why-sunlighten/full-spectrum-heating-technology/?leadsource=WendyMyers\">3-in-1 weight loss program</a> that uses a combination of far and mid infrared at a high intensity to to stimulate the cardiovascular system.\n\n<strong>Q: What is the difference between steam sauna and infrared sauna for weight loss?</strong>\n<strong>A:</strong> A traditional sauna uses wet or dry heat to warm the air around you, which induces sweating. This can aid in weight loss, but it has shown that the weight loss is mainly due to loss of water – or heavy sweating. An infrared sauna heats your body from the inside out, which allows you to stay in the sauna longer and increases your heart rate. Infrared sauna use results in more calories burned in a shorter period of time. Furthermore, <a href=\"https://store.myersdetox.com/products/solo-system-home-sauna\">Solocarbon infrared heat</a> allows for most of the far infrared wavelength to be near 9.4 microns, which is the level at which the human body absorbs infrared energy.  This is also the frequency at which a water molecule resonates or vibrates. This vibration causes a release of cellular toxins.  This optimal micron output also allows for deeper penetration of far infrared heat, which improves weight loss efforts.\n\n<strong>Q: Can I remove fat-promoting chemicals from my body with exercise or use of a regular sauna?</strong>\n<strong>A:</strong> One thing to note is that detox of obesogenic chemicals is not about merely sweating with exercise or use of a regular sauna at your gym. Only an infrared sauna produces the 'productive sweat' that removes a large amount of toxic chemicals at a rate that is sufficient to remove them faster than they are coming into the body.\n\n<strong>Hint:</strong> Please stop putting these toxic chemicals on your body. That might help! You can read this article for <a href=\"https://myersdetox.com/wendys-favorite-natural-beauty-products/\">natural beauty products</a> that do not contain toxins that can cause weight gain.\n\nI hope this article shed some light on another tool in your arsenal you can use to promote weight loss. I struggled with resistant weight loss for years. Only when I began detoxing and using an infrared sauna on a regular basis was I finally able to get my weight (and health) under control.\n\n&nbsp;",

      "body": "I'm sad to report that everyone is lead toxic due to it being added to gasoline and emitted from cars for decades. Lead causes fatigue and damage to the nervous, reproductive, and renal systems.  Learn how to detox it!\n\n![Lead-poisoning-blog-image.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUAYjsb7C6Ue1xN7pLnZtzzYz9mJx4HK9971WUumvntJj/Lead-poisoning-blog-image.jpg)\n\nLead is extremely toxic to humans. Exposure can happen quietly, without you realizing it, and the damaging effects - primarily to the brain - are often irreversible. In addition to the nervous and reproductive systems, lead impacts both the liver and kidneys (1).\n\nOne of the most common consequences of lead toxicity is high blood pressure due to lead accumulation in the kidneys. Detox the lead and people often seeing a normalizing of their blood pressure.\n<h2>Lead is stored in our Bones</h2>\nLead accumulates and makes its home in our bones, where the body prefers to store it (2). This is done in an effort by the body to protect vital organs.  From there, it is released into the blood stream.\n\nWomen's bones release lead more slowly into the blood stream than men's. Meaning, lead can continue to be released into the blood long after exposure. This is of particular importance for women whom are pregnant, as the slower release of lead from the bones could negatively impact a developing fetus (Vigeh).\n\nOnce women reach menopause, they have faster bone cell turnover due to lowered estrogen levels. Lead begins leaching into their bodies from the breakdown of bone tissue. Symptoms like fatigue and brain fog begin to occur due to lead toxicity.\n<h2>How You Are Exposed to Lead</h2>\nLead is everywhere. No one can avoid it completely. Too much exposure to this toxic metal places more pressure on our already over-burdened systems that are busy fighting off all the other toxins from our modern-day, industrial environment. Know it's sources so that you can take steps to protect you and your family.\n\nLead is in the air due to coal combustion and fossil fuels. We breathe it in. While leaded gasoline is no longer used in the United States, if you live or travel to a developing country that does not use unleaded gasoline, you must beware! You are breathing in neurotoxic lead!\n\nReady to hear another scary thing? Lead persists for 500 to 1000 years in the environment. So, even though we no longer use leaded gasoline in the U.S., this deadly metal can still be found in the soils where it then gets into our food and water.\n\nThat's right: soil may be contaminated with lead sediment due to industrial or car exhausts, especially in densely populated areas. Growing your own vegetables under those circumstances is not recommended.\n\nIn China, the rapid economic development has led to alarmingly elevated lead levels being released into environment due to the mineral processing activities (4). As a result, lead has made its way into the country's water, soil, crops, and vegetable supplies and the levels here are much higher than other developed countries (4).\n\nWater pipes used to be made of lead and many are still in use. They can leak lead into drinking water and contribute to toxicity that way.\n\nLead is also found in your beauty products. Yes, you are likely putting lead on your face daily to beautify yourself. Cosmetics, especially lip stick and mascara, have been found to contain shocking levels of lead. Be sure to buy lipstick that has been certified to be free of lead.\n\nLead was commonly used in house paint until the 1970’s. In 1978, lead-based residential paint was banned from use in the United States (5). But unfortunately, an estimated 30-50% of the population lives in houses built before that time. If you belong to this group, you are at greater risk of inhaling of miniscule paint chips and dust containing lead, and this can lead to lead toxicity. (5)\n\n<em>Attention parents:</em> lead is the most common toxicant found in the drinking water of U.S. schools, via water fountains, coolers, and other water outlets (6). Another danger is lead-based paint, as it is the most common source of exposure for children under 6 years of age who have suffered lead poisoning (7)\n\nYou need to know these and the other widespread sources of lead so that you can identify how it is entering your body. These sources include:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Ammunition (2)</li>\n \t<li>Auto exhaust</li>\n \t<li>Batteries and battery manufacturing (2)</li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://www.citizen.org/pressroom/pressroomredirect.cfm?ID=434\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Candle Wicks</a> (8)</li>\n \t<li>Ceramics (2)</li>\n \t<li>Cigarette smoke</li>\n \t<li>Coal combustion</li>\n \t<li>Colored inks</li>\n \t<li>Cosmetics (2)</li>\n \t<li>Root canals</li>\n \t<li>Eating utensils</li>\n \t<li>Electroplating</li>\n \t<li>Farm equipment (2)</li>\n \t<li>Gasoline (2)</li>\n \t<li>Glass production</li>\n \t<li>Glazes for pottery</li>\n \t<li><a href=\"http://content.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1971906,00.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Herbs, especially from India and China </a>(9)</li>\n \t<li>Hair dyes, especially black (2)</li>\n \t<li>Industrial emissions</li>\n \t<li>Jewelry making</li>\n \t<li>Lead pipes (2)</li>\n \t<li>Lead-glazed earthenware pottery</li>\n \t<li>Mascara</li>\n \t<li>Meat (if lead shot was used to kill it)</li>\n \t<li>Metal polish</li>\n \t<li>Milk</li>\n \t<li>Newsprint</li>\n \t<li>Occupational exposure</li>\n \t<li>Paint (2) (5) (CDC)</li>\n \t<li>Pencils</li>\n \t<li>Pesticide residues</li>\n \t<li>PVC pipes</li>\n \t<li>Smelters</li>\n \t<li>Solders (2)</li>\n \t<li>Soil (2, 5, 11)</li>\n \t<li>Supplements containing herbs from India and China</li>\n \t<li>Cans with lead solder sealing (such as juices, vegetables)</li>\n \t<li>Toothpaste</li>\n \t<li>Water (city/well/tap) (2, 5, 12)</li>\n</ul>\nKnowing all of this, it's not hard to see how we are exposed to lead in our daily lives, often without realizing it!\n<h2>Symptoms of Lead Toxicity in Children</h2>\nChildren are particularly susceptible to the dangers of lead and the adverse health effects of this dangerous metal will be more pronounced in them (13).\n\nThere is no safe level of lead exposure for children (5). Exposure to lead - be it in childhood infancy or even in utero - is especially damaging and toxic to a developing nervous system.\n\nIn fact, it has been proven that there is a direct link between, \"low-level lead exposure during early development and deficits in neurobehavioral-cognitive performance evident late in childhood through adolescence.\" (2). Lead poisoning in children can lead to such things as brain damage, low IQ, developmental delays, hyperactivity, and even hearing loss (2).\n\nSome of the primary symptoms of lead toxicity include:\n\n \tLoss of memory (2)\n \tLoss of Vision (2)\n \tCognitive and behavioral problems (2)\n \tBrain damage\n \tMental retardation (2)\n \tAntisocial behavior\n \tViolence\n \tDelays in growth and pubertal development (14)\n</ul>\n<h2>Health Conditions Caused by Lead</h2>\nLike many metals, the main target for lead toxicity is the central nervous system (15). But it's toxic effects don't end there; lead also effects the immune, renal, reproductive, and hematopoietic (stem cell) systems (16, 17). Lead toxicity also causes oxidative stress, which then leads to free radical damage (2). It is a truly dangerous metal.\n\nLet's start with its effects on the central nervous system. Lead is a potent neurotoxin that can cause learning and behavioral impairments, especially in young children (7, 18, 19). Exposure to it may result in detrimental effects to both brain development and function (12, 20).\n\nIt has also been found that exposure to lead early in life may cause neurode-generation in later life. (2). Among the many neurocognitive effects of lead are: brain damage, mental retardation, memory loss, vision loss, behavior problems, antisocial behavior, and even violence. (2)\n\nI mentioned that lead also effects hormone production. Lead has endocrine disrupting properties (EDCs), which interrupts hormone regulation in the body (21). Among the hormone activities it interrupts, lead has been shown to inhibit progesterone and impair prolactin production in females; these imbalances can lead to lead to irregular periods.\n\nLead builds up in the ovaries, which then causes delays in both growth and development during puberty, as well as reduced fertility. cells of the ovary, causing delays in growth and pubertal development and reduced fertility in females. For males, lead negatively affects growth during puberty (21). A 2017 study found that lead toxicity directly impairs sperm function and may lead to such things as low sperm count or testicular degeneration (22).\n\nExposure to lead may also bring about a deregulation of the immune system, along with reduced immunosurveillance. Immmunoserveillance is critical because it is the process by which the body's cells scan for foreign pathogens - including toxins and chemicals - as well as for pre-cancerous and cancerous cells (17)\n<h4>These are a few of the health conditions which may result from lead toxicity:</h4>\n<ul>\n \t<li>Mitochondrial damage (23, 24)</li>\n \t<li>Abdominal pain</li>\n \t<li>Adrenal insufficiency</li>\n \t<li>Aggression</li>\n \t<li>Allergies</li>\n \t<li>Alzheimer's (2)</li>\n \t<li>Anemia</li>\n \t<li>Anorexia</li>\n \t<li>Anxiety (2)</li>\n \t<li>Arthritis (oust and rheumatoid)</li>\n \t<li>Arteriosclerosis</li>\n \t<li>Attention deficit disorder (ADD) (2, 13)</li>\n \t<li>Autism</li>\n \t<li>Back pain/problems</li>\n \t<li>Behavioral disorders</li>\n \t<li>Blindness</li>\n \t<li>Cancer</li>\n \t<li>Cardiovascular disease</li>\n \t<li>Cataracts (2)</li>\n \t<li>Cartilage destruction</li>\n \t<li>Concentration loss</li>\n \t<li>Constipation</li>\n \t<li>Convulsions</li>\n \t<li>Coordination loss</li>\n \t<li>Deafness (2)</li>\n \t<li>Dementia</li>\n \t<li>Depression (2)</li>\n \t<li>Diabetes</li>\n \t<li>Disrupts neurotransmitters</li>\n \t<li>Dyslexia</li>\n \t<li>Emotional instability</li>\n \t<li>Encephalitis</li>\n \t<li>Epilepsy</li>\n \t<li>Fatigue</li>\n \t<li>Gout</li>\n \t<li>Hallucinations</li>\n \t<li>Headaches</li>\n \t<li>High blood pressure (25)</li>\n \t<li>Hostility</li>\n \t<li>Hyperactivity (2, 13)</li>\n \t<li>Hypertension (2)</li>\n \t<li>Hypo-thyroid</li>\n \t<li>Impaired glycogen storage</li>\n \t<li>Impotency</li>\n \t<li>Immune suppression (17)</li>\n \t<li>Indigestion</li>\n \t<li>Infertility or reduced fertility (14)</li>\n \t<li>Inflammation</li>\n \t<li>Insomnia</li>\n \t<li>Intellectual loss (13)</li>\n \t<li>Irritability</li>\n \t<li>Joint pain</li>\n \t<li>Kidney dysfunction</li>\n \t<li>Learning disabilities</li>\n \t<li>Libido decrease</li>\n \t<li>Liver dysfunction</li>\n \t<li>Low IQ (2)</li>\n \t<li>Memory loss (long term)</li>\n \t<li>Mental retardation</li>\n \t<li>Menstrual problems</li>\n \t<li>Miscarriage</li>\n \t<li>Multiple sclerosis</li>\n \t<li>Myelopathy (Spinal cord pathology)</li>\n \t<li>Nausea</li>\n \t<li>Nephritis</li>\n \t<li>Nightmares</li>\n \t<li>Numbness</li>\n \t<li>Paralysis</li>\n \t<li>Parkinson’s disease (2)</li>\n \t<li>Peripheral neuropathies</li>\n \t<li>Psychosis</li>\n \t<li>Psychomotor dysfunction</li>\n \t<li>Pyorrhea</li>\n \t<li>Red blood cell damage</li>\n \t<li>Renal dysfunction (2)</li>\n \t<li>Restlessness</li>\n \t<li>Schizophrenia (2)</li>\n \t<li>Seizures</li>\n \t<li>Sterility</li>\n \t<li>Stillbirths</li>\n \t<li>Sudden infant death syndrome</li>\n \t<li>Tingling</li>\n \t<li>Tooth decay</li>\n \t<li>Vertigo</li>\n \t<li>Violence and aggression (2)</li>\n \t<li>Unintentional weight loss</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>How to Detox Lead</h2>\nThe most serious and harmful effects of lead exposure are often irreversible (1). But you can reduce the toxic effects of this dangerous metal with regular detoxing. Arm yourself with knowledge that will protect both the health of you and your loved ones!\n\nAn antagonist is an element that can help to push or detox a metal out of the body. The following elements work as potent detoxifiers of lead:\n<ul>\n \t<li><a href=\"https://store.myersdetox.com/products/vitamin-c-food-based-180-tabs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vitamin C</a></li>\n \t<li>Vitamin E</li>\n \t<li>3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) - DMSA is a sulfur-containing organic compound that is FDA approved for the treatment of lead and mercury toxicity both in children and adults</li>\n \t<li><a href=\"https://store.myersdetox.com/products/edta-r-lipoic-acid-liposomal-4-0z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EDTA</a></li>\n \t<li><a href=\"https://store.myersdetox.com/products/panaseeda-coriander-cilantro-seed-oil-50-ml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cilantro/Coriander seed oil</a></li>\n \t<li><a href=\"https://store.myersdetox.com/products/taurine-100-caps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Taurine</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Detecting Lead Toxicity</h2>\nI have found that most people show no lead on a <a title=\"What is Hair Mineral Analysis?\" href=\"https://store.myersdetox.com/products/hair-mineral-analysis-with-no-consult-interpretation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hair mineral </a><a title=\"What is Hair Mineral Analysis?\" href=\"https://store.myersdetox.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">analysis</a> but then have toxic levels on a <a href=\"https://store.myersdetox.com/products/metals-urine-push-test-interpretation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Urine Metals DMSA Challenge Test</a>. That's why I always like to perform both tests to get a complete picture of one's toxicity levels. However, lead rarely shows on a hair mineral analysis. It can when someone has been detoxing for a number of years or they are extremely lead toxic.\n\nA <a href=\"https://store.myersdetox.com/products/metals-urine-push-test-interpretation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Urine Metals DMSA Challenge Test</a> is a far more reliable method for determining lead toxicity.  The reason a urine test is so useful and provides meaningful results is that urinary excretion is the major route for the elimination of lead.\n<h2>Myers Detox Protocol to the Rescue</h2>\nWith proper guidance, you can detox lead and reverse many of its negative health conditions.  It takes time to remove the metal completely, that's why I advocate strongly for rigorous, long-term detoxing done in a safe and healthy way.\n\nWhen it comes to lead, new research reveals that elimination of this toxic metal takes longer than previously thought and long-term retention of this toxic metal is not to be underestimated. This is why patience with detoxing is so important.\n\nOf course, your recovery from toxic effects depends on such things as the severity of your symptoms, the levels of metal toxicity in your body, and how long you have been suffering from your adverse health conditions. At the very least, many experience a vast reduction in their symptoms with detoxification via mild chelating agents, mineral supplementation, and use of an <a title=\"Infrared Saunas\" href=\"https://myersdetox.com/infrared-saunas/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">infrared sauna</a>, all of which are part of a comprehensive <a href=\"https://store.myersdetox.com/products/myers-detox-protocol-includes-hair-mineral-test\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Myers Detox Protocol</a> program.\n\nMetals can often do the same jobs as minerals. So when we are mineral deficient, the human body is forced to accumulate metals to accomplish certain processes necessary to for us to survive. A <a href=\"https://store.myersdetox.com/products/myers-detox-protocol-includes-hair-mineral-test\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Myers Detox Protocol</a> program is one of the best programs to remove all heavy metals from the body, including lead, so we can get back to better health.

The danger of toxic metals in our environment is greatly aggravated due to low mineral content of our food supply, as well as the contamination of our food supply. If one does not consume preferred minerals in the diet, the body will pick up whatever toxic metals it can from the food, air, and water as substitutes to perform various functions in the body. A key principle to remember is that an abundance of essential minerals in the diet and via supplementation protects the body against toxic metals.\n\nIt's time to restore balance to your body with <a href=\"http://myersdetox.com/mineral-power/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Myers Detox Protocol</a>!\n<div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://store.myersdetox.com/collections/myers-detox-protocol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to get started on a Myers Detox Protocol today!</a></h3>\n</div>\n\n\n<h2>Ready to Detox Your Body and Reset Your Brain?</h2>\nI’ve created the **“Ultimate Detox Checklist”** that will help you improve your energy levels, brain function, and productivity.\n\n[Get the checklist here!](https://go.detoxforenergy.com/detox_free)\n\n<h2>Learn to Detox from the Experts</h2>\nLearn from 38 of the world’s top detox experts for free in this interview series \n[The Heavy Metals Summit.](http://theheavymetalssummit.com/?idev_id=16197&idev_username=WendyMyers&utm_source=16197)",

      "body": "<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Coffee enemas are one of the best ways of cleansing the liver, the colon, and speeding up detoxification processes in the body. All toxins must be processed by your liver — a near impossible job in our toxic world. Coffee enemas provide a means for your liver to ‘dump’ its toxic load of chemicals, excess estrogen, and heavy metals into the intestines for elimination. They are especially crucial if you have a chronic illness.<!--more--></p>\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/dDeFKYX01Ds\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Coffee enemas have been used as a healing remedy for the last 100 years. They are particularly well known as part of the cancer treatment protocol with Gerson Therapy. As many cancers are fueled by estrogen, coffee enemas aid the liver in metabolizing estrogen, reducing estrogen levels. The enemas aid the body in detoxing chemicals and heavy metals that are the underlying cause of cancer and most disease. Additionally, coffee enemas can help to relieve pain, nausea, general nervous tension and depression.</p>\n\n<h2>How Coffee Enemas Work</h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Coffee enemas are superior to plain water enemas, as they provide so many more benefits. The theobromine, theophylline, and caffeine in the coffee travel via the rich capillary bed of the rectum into the portal vein, which leads directly to the liver. These substances dilate blood vessels and open up the bile ducts allowing the liver to release bile, which contains toxins.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Doctors at the University of Minnesota showed that coffee administered rectally also stimulates an enzyme system in the liver, which increases glutathione, the master antioxidant in the body, by 600%-700% above normal activity levels. This antioxidant reacts with free radicals (which cause cell damage) in the bloodstream and makes them inert. These neutralized substances become dissolved in the bile, are released through the bile flow from the liver and gallbladder, and are excreted through the intestinal tract. While holding the coffee enema in the colon for 10-15 minutes, the body’s entire blood supply passes through the liver 4-5 times, carrying poisons picked up from the tissues. So the enema acts as a form of dialysis of the blood across the <a href=\"http://blog.kettleandfire.com/how-to-heal-leaky-gut-syndrome/?afmc=liveto110\">gut</a> wall.</p>\n\n<h2>Get the Equipment!</h2>\nAnd I now have two <strong>brand new</strong> coffee enema kits available in the Live to 110 store!

With Gerson Therapy for cancer and chronic illness, people perform 4-6 coffee enemas every day! Unless you have cancer or are very sick with a chronic illness, I recommend doing a coffee enema whenever there is a need, which can be once a day, once every few days or once a week. If you are healthy, once a week should be sufficient.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I'm not the biggest fan of daily coffee enemas because you can deplete your minerals if you do them too often. I have seen clients that had precipitous drops in the minerals on a hair mineral analysis when doing them daily. Be sure to add sea salt to your enema to reduce mineral loss!</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once you start doing coffee enemas, you will know when you need to do another one based on how you feel. I initially did 2-3 a week for a couple years to detox and rid my body of excess estrogen, which was affecting my thyroid and weight. Now I only do one when I start getting headaches, constipation, feel a bit nauseous, or simply for regular maintenance — about 1-2 times per week.</p>\n\n<h2>How to Do a Coffee Enema</h2>\nStep 1 - Materials\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>Buy a 2-quart enema bucket or bag.</strong> An enema bucket is so much easier to pour the coffee into an easier clean. Enema bags from the drugstore are also made of plastic, which I would avoid. I recommend a medical grade silicone bag if you prefer a bag.</li>\n \t<li><strong>Buy your coffee enema coffee.</strong> I love PurE Enema Coffee. Coffee enema coffees are different from regular coffee in that they are beige or tan in color. They have properties more appropriate for enemas like more caffeine and palmitic acid, which make the enema more effective. If you don't get a special enema coffee be sure to only buy organic. Get regular ground coffee that is not instant and not decaffeinated. Many prefer to buy the whole beans and grind their own coffee so the oils and other aspects of the coffee are fresh. Organically grown coffee is best to avoid introducing estrogenic pesticides into your body. Coffee is one of the most heavily sprayed crops.</li>\n</ul>\nStep 2 - Preparation of coffee\n\n<ul>\n \t<li>The coffee can be prepared any way you prefer. Prep it in an automatic coffee maker. Make it in a french press. Boil it on the stove.</li>\n \t<li>To make on the stove, place 2 to 3 cups of purified water and one to two tablespoons (15-30 ml) of coffee in a saucepan and bring to a boil (or use a coffee maker to percolate the coffee quickly). NOTE: The first time you do a coffee enema, use only 1 teaspoon (5ml), NOT TABLESPOON, of coffee. This is critical because some people are sensitive to caffeine and will feel very jittery on more coffee. After a few enemas, you will see how much coffee you can tolerate comfortably. Ideally, increase to two tablespoons per enema.</li>\n \t<li>Let it boil 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and allow it to cool. One or two ice cubes may be added to speed the cooling process.</li>\n \t<li>A lot of people ask me if you can make a big batch of coffee for the week and use it throughout the week. Yes, you can, but I personally feel that it's better to make fresh coffee each time, especially since it only takes 10 minutes. I feel that the elements in the coffee that make it effective, in addition to the antioxidants in the coffee can diminish the longer they sit in the fresh. Fresh is always best.</li>\n \t<li>Tricks to speed up cooling the boiled coffee: 1. Boil only a little of the water with the coffee. Once it has boiled, add the rest of the water to the coffee mixture to cool the entire amount down to body temperature. 2. Pour the coffee mixture back and forth several times through the air from one container to another, even from the enema bag/bucket back into a cool pot. This will also cool it much faster. 3. Put the water in the refrigerator or freezer until cool.</li>\n \t<li>Wait until the coffee is about body temperature. Body temperature feels hot when you place your finger in it. If the water is too hot or too cold, retaining the enema will be more difficult.</li>\n \t<li>Strain the liquid through a fine strainer or coffee filter paper into a clean bucket or enema bag. Screw on the top of the enema bag.</li>\n \t<li>The enema is now ready.</li>\n</ul>\nStep 3 - Preparing to take the enema\n\n<ul>\n \t<li>Prep yourself a little bed of towels to lie on in the bathtub or bathroom. I prefer doing them in the bathroom in case you leak or have an accident - easier cleanup. You can lie elsewhere when you become better at performing the enemas. I just put towels in the bathtub and relax.</li>\n \t<li>If you have not had a bowel movement, take a plain water enema first, before the coffee enema. This will usually clean out the bowel quickly and effectively. For some, they can hold the coffee no matter what and do not need to use water first. Everyone is different.</li>\n \t<li>Be sure the plastic hose is pushed or fastened well onto the enema bag and the thin enema tip is attached to the other end.</li>\n \t<li>Remove any air from the enema tube the following way. Grasp but do not close the clamp on the hose. Place the tip in the sink. Hold up the enema bag or bucket above the tip until the water begins to flow out. Then close the clamp. This expels any air in the tube. If this air gets in your colon, it will give you the urge to evacuate too soon.</li>\n \t<li>Lubricate the enema tip with a small amount of personal lubricant, coconut oil or olive oil.</li>\n</ul>\nStep 4 - Taking the enema\n\n<ul>\n \t<li>The position preferred by most people is lying on one’s back on a towel, on the bathroom floor or in the bathtub. If you can't get on the floor, you can even just sit on the toilet.</li>\n \t<li>With the clamp closed, place the enema bag or bucket on the floor next to you, or hang the bag one to three feet above your abdomen. You will likely need to place the bucket well above the tip so that the water can flow out.</li>\n \t<li>Insert the tip gently and slowly. Move it around until it goes about an inch or two ( 2-4 cm) inside you.</li>\n \t<li>Open the clamp and hold the enema bag about one foot (30 cm) above the abdomen. The water may take a few seconds to begin flowing. If the water does not flow, you may gently squeeze the bag. If you develop a cramp, close the hose clamp, turn from side to side and take a few deep breaths. The cramp will usually pass quickly.</li>\n \t<li>Let a bit of water into the bowel. Your first enema will be quick as your bowel is full of feces. Evacuate.</li>\n \t<li>Repeat 2-4 times, if needed, until the water starts coming out looking fairly clean, which indicates that the bowel is empty. After that lie down on the back for a few minutes and relax. This will allow the remaining fecal masses (further up in the bowel) to move along the bowel to be expelled.</li>\n \t<li>Now you're ready for the coffee.</li>\n \t<li>Let .5-1.5 liters or quarts of coffee into the bowel (or until you can’t take anymore). You only need a half quart or liter, but take as much as you can hold.</li>\n \t<li>Close the clamp. You can remove the insertion tip or leave it inserted to relieve gas, which causes the urge to evacuate.</li>\n \t<li>RETAIN THE ENEMA FOR 15 MINUTES (less time is okay, but not quite as effective). Changing position also helps to keep the coffee in longer. When there is an urge to empty, turn onto another side, onto the back, stand up or assume a knee and elbow position. Use the time to read a book, meditate, etc. Some people are able to get up and go lie on a towel in bed, instead of on the floor or in the bathtub. Walking around the house with the coffee inside is not recommended. A small number of people are unable to retain even a cup of water for the required 15 minutes. One can start with less coffee in these cases. First timers may have to do three enemas for 5 minutes at a time. Do your best. There seems to be no harm if one wishes to retain the enema longer than 15 minutes.</li>\n</ul>\nStep 5 - Finishing up\n\n<ul>\n \t<li>After 15 minutes or so, go to the toilet and empty out the water. It is okay if some water remains inside. If water remains inside, you may be dehydrated.</li>\n \t<li>Wash the enema bag and tube thoroughly with soap and water. Run water with hydrogen peroxide through the bucket and hose. Wipe insertion tip with alcohol.</li>\n \t<li>The whole procedure takes about one to two hours, so allocate plenty of time for it and have a good book to read. However, if you do them often enough and don't have a lot of fecal matter to evacuate, you can do a super quick enema in 20 minutes. It doesn't have to take a lot of time.</li>\n \t<li>If you feel out of sorts or a little bloated after the enema, do a little reflexology. Rub the top of the toes of both feet, but particularly the left foot. You can also rub the entire foot, especially any part that is tender. This will often balance out the body’s energies after a coffee retention enema.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Enema Tips</h2>\n<ul>\n \t<li>Remember, you will do best if you have a bowel movement before doing the coffee enema. When you first take in some coffee, only take in a little to aid in a bowel movement, then proceed to doing the full enema.</li>\n \t<li>If intestinal gas is a problem, some exercise before the enema may eliminate the gas.</li>\n \t<li>It is not essential but is helpful if the coffee fills the entire colon. You can assist by first lying on your right side for 5 minutes, then on your back for 5 minutes, and then on your left side for 5 minutes.</li>\n \t<li>If water will not flow around the entire colon, you may gently massage your abdomen.</li>\n \t<li>If the enema makes you jittery, reduce the amount of coffee. For instance, use one teaspoon, instead of two tablespoons.</li>\n \t<li>The enema may lower your blood sugar. If so, eat something just before or after taking the enema. I always find I'm starving after the enema!</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Difficulty Holding the Enema</h2>\nSome people have difficulty holding the enema in the beginning. If you simply can’t seem to retain the enema very long, try these tips:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Be patient. Practice makes perfect.</li>\n \t<li>You can add 1/2 teaspoon of Epsom salt per 2 cups of coffee to reduce colon spasms.</li>\n \t<li>You can break the 15 minutes up into 5-minute segments until you can hold the entire 15 minutes.</li>\n \t<li>The water may be too hot or too cold. Be sure the water temperature is comfortable.</li>\n \t<li>It may help to place a small pillow or rolled up towel under your buttocks so the water flows downhill into your colon.</li>\n \t<li>Many find that adding a teaspoon of blackstrap molasses to the boiling coffee mysteriously aids in retaining the enema.</li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Have coffee enemas helped you heal your health condition or cancer?
