I have seen some cheaper ones bessie but don't know how good they are. Where did you get you mat and how much did you pay?From: Bessie Glavas <bessieglavas@...>Subject: Re: portable saunasbird mites Date: Thursday, January 15, 2009, 10:35 AM

Kihun -

People report GREAT results with the Far Infrared saunas. The kind

that Dr. Staninger sells are supposed to be the best, achieving

deeper penetration. These are great for full body detoxification.

I only have the pad but may invest in the sauna (I think they are

quite expensive, though)

Hi Sally,

Most of the portable units are made of fabric that off-gas. I'm in similar

situation and have yet to find a portable that doesn't off-gas. If you know

someone who is a carpenter you can make your own. But here you'd have to be

careful to use non-toxic glues, wood, etc. I think " www.promolife.com " used to

and probably still does sell the parts and plans (they don't have the wood and

such for the cabinet, but do sell ceramic heaters and the electrical stuff.) 

I don't have anyone that could build one and can't afford to buy one either. 

If you ever come across a healthy non-toxic portable, do let me know.

Thanks,Sam

Oh, thanks for the warning.  I react quickly and very adversely to plastics, so

it would not have been a good direction for me.  Thanks, Diane!

If you can tolerate plastics, they sell portable saunas on Ebay but I would not

recommend them if you have MCS.

propane, butane, even natural gas not healthy to breathe, you need good

ventilation and strong fan, a good idea to have carbon monoxide

detector too...

better option would be a freestanding electric burner, I just bought a

waring brand electric 2 burner off amazon, it will offgas a little in

the beginning like any new appliance unfortunately, then should be fine,

i bought because our new rental has a 4 burner gas range w/huge fan/

light hood overhead that needs to be used w/gas burners going but is

loud and right at head/brain level w/strong emf fields, plus my EI son

does not need the natural gas exposure.

If you are on the road you can do bath detox.  You get in a tub of hot water,

as

hot as you can tolerate.  Add epson salt, baking soda and soak for 20 minutes

min.  When you get out you will be sweating.  Or you cn do Epson one day and

BS

the other.

Thanks...I already do Epsom-salt baths every day, as hot as I can tolerate.  I

used to sweat a lot; since I've become so ill, I don't sweat.  Weird.  I'll

try

adding baking soda to my bath.  I also swear by charcoal body wash/soap.  It

has

done wonders for strange skin growths I had on my feet that my traditional

doctor predicted would require surgery.  So...one surgery averted!

I too used hydogen perxoide baths.  I can say when I was doing my baths more

frequestly than now I felt much better than I do now.  For those who are not

familiar with HP there is a 30% avalable you can order and dilute. It has no

stabalizers like the one from the stores but must be used with caution since it

is much stronger than the store brand. So you do not want to burn yourselves.

I am no expert and am one of those who can't yet afford the non-toxic wood

saunas that I hope to have some day. I took a look at the site and have some

questions for the list members.

Is this FIR or some other type of infrared? I've seen some that are called near

infrared; is that what this is? And if so, is there any difference between far

and near infrared and its therapeutic qualities? Is it safe to use up close? 

I looked at the FAQ and they recommended in addition to the canvas tent using a

vinyl shower curtain. I've no idea which is worse, but can tell you that in the

past years there's been recalls on yinyl shower curtains due to excessively high

levels of formaldehyde. That recommendation alone makes me concerned about what

they know or do not know about toxic products.

Also it is hard to tell in the photos exactly what kind of wood is used in the

cabinet. It could be an error in the photo, but the wood looks stained which I'm

sure would not be good for such high concentrations of heat. It seems like the

unit would be safer if it were made with metal components rather that that kind

of wood.

Thanks,Sam

I use a near infrared light sauna and love how it feels. Its not

comfortable.. you sit on a hard stool and rotate, but it feels so good. I have

not sauna-ed often and would like to try a regime of 20 minutes a day maybe 5

days a week and see how it goes but, I have to leave it here, esp since it is

made of unfnished wood. My sauna is made by Country Ray saunas and no glues..

just poplar wood and the metals used to encase and hold the lights.. the emfs

drops off at about less than a foot from the lights.

I am looking into this:

http://infraredsaunaportable.com/

Its less than half the price of the country ray obviously without the cabinet..

I like the idea of using it in a tub because the sweat can be washed away.. not

sure about toxicity of the tub area if using a low VOC shower curtain.. it can

be taken down I would think.. not sure. Calling to ask questions after we move.

They claim to be chemically aware.. clean of some things. .not sure all things..

not sure if they use glue or if one can be made without glue if so..

The canvas is unfinished.. not sure has formaldehyde or any other chemical.. ??
