Hi, i was planning on purchasing an infra-red sauna for my son to help detox. I was set to purchase one of the least expensive ones, and then i stumbled across a dr giving an online discussion. Part of that discussion was around the EMF's and how they can be harmful.

Now that would mean purchasing a different sauna for at least double the price to have it state low EMF's. Any thoughts. I can really only afford the cheaper one and yet i dont want to open up other problems for my son down the road because of the EMFS he would be potentially exposed to.

thanks

Yeah, I've recently been looking at some myself, and also in a similar possession, in terms of the financial woes. Sadly, it seems that it's another one of those "you get what you pay for" sort of things. You see some on Amazon and whatnot in the range of 200 - 300 dollars with decent reviews, but I can't help but think that the majority of users are just normal people, people that are not really looking for or in need of the same benefits, at least not to the same extent, that we are.

They use it, and it makes them feel good, but, I mean, how bad off are they without it? Would they alleviate our aches and pains? Do they REALLY assist in detoxification as much as they're claimed to? And, yes, can I trust the low EMF guarantee?

I don't know.

I'm tempted to get one, regardless. But, while, yeah, it'd be better than dropping a grand or more on one of the better ones, I worry it'd end up being a waste of money.

I want to KNOW that what I'm getting is a good product, KNOW that I'm going to see benefits, and I'd always wonder, if I were to buy one of those.

But, yeah, I might get one yet. No clue. Let us know how it goes for you, if you do.

For this reason, because I try very hard to eliminate EMFs in our home (Stetzer filters, no wifi, no cell phones near the body or in the car (faraday cage effect), corded phones and computer, circuits off in bedrooms at night), I ended up purchasing a near-ir sauna. It is much cheaper than the far-ir saunas and produces a great sweating effect as well. There is NASA research backing the claims of near-ir:

I just couldn't get past the EMFs.

Hi Antonio, yes I've had pretty much all those same thoughts and concerns. ill post you once we figure out the route we take and how beneficial it is.

Thank you Rowingmom. Sounds like you make a real effort with lowering EMF if your life and that is awesome. I've read your links, great info, I didn't even realize there was the near IR available, I've only seen the far advertised. Thanks again.

I assume the sauna was for your daughter For the purpose to detox. And I see in your signature, symptoms 99 percent resolved...do you mind me asking does she still sauna now even...

The sauna would be for my son to detox. He's not a fan of the Epsom baths and he does them grudgingly so I'm trying to find detoxing ways that he would be more committed to.

Thanks again.

We do both the baths and sauna a couple times a week. More so in the winter with sauna.

I feel that in this world of toxins, it's important to keep detoxing....

We purchased from here:

Michael, the owner, was really good when I called with questions. I purchased the unit a while ago, but K didn't use it until she reached puberty on Michael's recommendation. He said that children don't have the thermoregulating capacity of adults and that the sauna could be dangerous for her before she developed the real capacity to sweat.

I have two of the portable type saunas that were both around $200, one was in storage and inaccessible at the time I bought the second one.

The second one I bought was the low-EMF type: www.amazon.com/Radiant-Saunas-BSA6310-Rejuvenator-Portable/dp/B00MX19M9E/

The problem with it is that it doesn't really heat up nearly as well, so I need to sit in it for 1 1/2 hrs or so to really feel detoxed. It works if you put a movie on or something but now I have both accessible and I prefer the original one that is probably higher EMF but gets nice and hot. I don't know if this is true of all low-EMF FIR saunas. In general I find I prefer the traditional Finnish style saunas, the portable infrared ones are just a convenient alternative. I looked into the near-IR type but haven't tried one as they are a bit of a niche market.

I read this article a while back on the radio-safe zone in West Virginia where a lot of EMF refugees wind up: www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2013/04/green_bank_w_v_where_the_electrosensitive_can_escape_the_modern_world.html
So it's clear that some people have major issues with EMF but I'm not certain that I do. I don't notice any negative effects from EMF exposure, in fact I'm making a lot of progress these days using Rife, which is effectively just pumping EMF into your body.

I have a celebration sauna, and I love it! At first I could hardly sweat. I am starting to sweat more easily. I think it is really helping me detox.

Thanks Rowingmom, Project and Purple tulip or all the links. Got my reading cut out for me and some decisions to make.

Is it safe to use a near infrared sauna while on tetracycline? I know we're supposed to avoid sunlight but I am assuming the sauna is not an issue.

Yeeejay86 - I'm not sure. Michael at nearinfraredsauna.com could probably tell you.
