Thanks for the info. I have a far infrared sauna. I have used it

several times a week and have had it for over a year. i can't see

that it has made that much of a difference for me. Mine was

expensive. If I were you, I would see if you could use the club one

first to see if it is making a difference. Don't get me wrong, I

really like it, I just haven't been able to tell if it has really

been a help or not. Where did you get her book. I haven't been

able to find it?
