Hi Gail!

Our bathtub is made of iron and I've taken a plastic bowl and attached

magnets to the rim so it sticks to the tub and blocks the overflow

drain. I fill the tub up right to the bottom edge of the bowl, and when

I get in the water is just shy of overflowing. I have to be careful to

move slowly. <grin>

It's very nice to get complete immersion. The volume of water is almost

twice what I'd get without blocking the overflow.

I'm using about 107 degree (F) water and I add about 2 cups of epsom

salts. Use anything above 104 degrees that you're comfortable with. I

soak for 20 minutes or so, then drain the tub and shower to prevent re-

absorption of toxins.

Yes, the baths are the main thing I do for detox.

I would like to add sauna, which will be less hassle to do. I think

we'll be assembling a D-I-Y infrared sauna for me in the hall closet,

soon. It's what I asked for for Christmas.

Be well,

Mike D.

Dear Ava,

The sauna is prepped by flipping a switch as I walk by, as opposed to

filling the tub, adding the salt, fine-tuning the water temperature,

etc... Both modalities require the shower! <grin>

One disadvantage of the bath is that my face doesn't get immersed. The

sauna should have more effect on my sinuses, from both radiant effects

and the heated air.

Be well,

Mike D.

Mike,

The sauna can be a hassle...anytime anyone in my house goes in, they

have a shower after. It usually pulls so much sweat out that a shower

is required, or your hair is messy all day, and you feel icky. We have

the infarred sauna, it's great! Depending on how long you're in it,

make sure you allow some time for a shower. ;-)

In Christ,

Ava

PS We usually pre-heat it before going in too...so time can be the

biggest issue.

No, I was mentioning the magnets I use to hold the plastic bowl over

the overflow drain. They need the iron tub to do their job. <smile>

>Ok, A few comments. First, I think sometimes we (I) get hung up on

more complex or involved things thinking that is what is needed for

detoxing. This gets me back to a simple epson salt bath.

I just took one with 1 cup of salt added. Just poured it in and made

a really hot bath (didn't take the temp). It reminded me of when I

would take a bath with 35% H202. I could only stay in about 10

minutes. It really made me feel wasted and my heart started racing.

BTW, I had just taken 1 drop of MMS before getting in the tub so

don't know if that contributed to the racing heart or not. I

really, really felt very wasted. Ended up doing some ozone

insufflating afterward just for the energy it gives.

So in conclusion, I think this is really pretty powerful as a detox

method, but I think I will use less salt and not so hot so that I

can have more of a relaxing experience. Also, it has been suggested

heat is counter productive for any with adrenal problems. Can't

remember why, tho? Most chronically ill people will have some kind

of adrenal issues.

On your comment about wanting a sauna. You can get a pretty cheap

portable one for about $250-$300. Google Evergrain or maybe it's

Evergreen sauna. A woman on another list mentioned she has it and it

works really good.

One last question. Why did you mention your tub is iron? Is the

salt bad for a regular bathtub?

Gail,

Thanks for the info on the adrenal as I was diagnosed with adrenal

insufficiency. I will watch the heat in the future. My knees swell up

after one of these baths.

I have had adrenal issues for a lot of years. I use a FIR sauna with no problems. Maybe the FIR sauna is different than doing a bath, but it has never stressed my adrenals.
