Thanks for sharing this! Barb, I think it’s a misconception that you can effectively sweat out toxins — I wish I had the article at my finger tips. Will you be careful, though? I’m curious — how do your kidney numbers look? My BUN/Creatinine and even my EGFR was all over the place for years (of course the docs ignored it!). Funny, before I was sick and had to study all of this (the good ol’ days!), I used to go to the sauna after a work-out, but I never could really sweat! HA! Wow, did I have some autonomic problems then, or what? 😉 I do believe we need to be more careful about dehydration in those saunas with weird kidney function numbers, for SURE. Perhaps yours are OK? ALKALINITY! I’m a HUGE believer in staying alkaline! Working more on the what’s and why’s of that right now, as a matter of fact! One doctor on my team told me that 70% of the Chinese population had alkalinity machines in their homes for their water for health reasons. OMG! Are we that far behind?! I swear, China will take over the world soon! Thanks again for sharing this! 😉
