We are sitting ducks for any new treatment that comes along. I also tried stupid stuff. For my son, I bought expensive prism glasses that he refused to put on. If it doesn’t sound right , it probably isn’t. This is a complex disease and I can’t believe sauna treatments will cure it. This is a medical problem that can’t be solved by simply throwing boatloads of money at it. But in your and my defense western medicine has failed us. So we look elsewhere for answers.

If you want more info about how we healed our son’s immune system please email me privately and I will forward what I have sent other parents. But be warned, this is not a treatment for sissies and is not an instant cure. It took years for our children to get sick and it takes years to get better. After a almost a decade of treating my son’s immune system he is living a happy and productive life. He is living on his own, going for his master’s but even more important has an active social life that included a girlfriend for a short time. Please don’t give up and know they can get better. Although autism is a tough disease to beat, for most kids whose immune systems aren’t too compromised, it is treatable. For us, in addition to the medical, we did behavioral (ABA), and educational interventions. One would not have worked as well without the other. I just wish the medical community would get on board with a recognized protocol to treat our children. They need to realize our kids are ill and need treatment now. And I hope they stop telling us most kids end up in group homes like they told me about my son.Best,Marcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I have to disagree (sorry Marcia, you know I love you!).Part of what makes the sauna effective is that we sweat out the toxins. That's why saunas are popular in general. Does it recover kids? No. Can it help the process? Yes. Will it for you? Dunno. The thing about saunas is that at least it's harmless. *But* I do agree with Marcia in that it's expensive. If you can't afford to buy a sauna, why one earth would you try? There are so many other things that would probably do more toward recovery than a sauna. There are plenty of things in biomed that will do far more for you and give you more bang for your buck.But hey, if you've got a spare $4k just laying around doing nothing to throw at a sauna with zero guilt or second thoughts, go for it. I'm not that fortunate.I think you should go where your get the most value for your money. It's easy to go broke recovering your kid on things that may or may not provide any benefit. The only way to prevent that kind of money hemorrhaging is know what you are paying for and prioritize treatments based on the typical results. I would love a sauna. But only because I've wanted a sauna since I was like 5. I love sitting in a sauna and sweating it out. I would totally have an entire spa in my house if I could afford one, complete with iodine bath and seaweed wrap. I'd settle for a sauna and hot tub but I won't be getting either any time soon. For now I go to the gym to sit in a sauna. Your child probably isn't allowed in a gym sauna, though. ~ Antiviral Therapy 101~ gryffinstail.wordpress.com/ ~~ @Gryffins_Tail ~ , Don’t be sucked in by doing these things because you are desperate to help your son.

I am going ahead with the purchase of an infrared sauna due to the results of 's lab work and my health issues. I also have an autoimmune disease so as one person said, its not going to hurt anything, and I believe that this will help the underlining issue....his weakened immune system.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Hi all,Just would like to mention that we purchased our sauna at the Cal Expo in Sac for half the price. It's not the one GR is supporting but I'm happy with it, no glue and no other weird stuff in it just the light which is turned to blue because it supposed to promote language according to the chromatherapy chart. (I'd try any kind of hoccus poccus for my child, lol) Well, I'm not sure if it was the sauna or one of the other million things we are doing but he is doing better.My motto is as long it won't hurt him and I can pay for it, I'll try it.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Read an old post from Andy Cutler that says, 2-4 hours in a sauna is equal to 50mg, every 4 hours doses of DMSA for an entire day! So, yes, it works. Wish I could have one too. I think parents can recover their kids however without dropping $5000 on a sauna, which many of us can't do.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Some people were mentioned how expensive saunas are, but I found mine pretty cheap from http://www.nationalpoolwholesalers.com/ It is sandblasted on the inside and uses no glues. It's not super fancy in anyway, but it's pretty nice. They ship it to you and you put it together. Oh I ordered the kind with the Zirconium heaters (the tubes), so I can't speak for the carbon heaters. > > > , > > > > Don’t be sucked in by doing these things because you are desperate to help your son.

We were diagnosised, by no surprise, in April of this year. I am trying everything, within budget, and I will never stop until he can start talking and tells me to stop! I am lucky that I do not have to pay for this sauna, it is being bought for him. God is good! I also have gotten my insurance to help pay for biomedical treatment, again GOD IS GOOD! Thanks again you guys! Everyone has helped in so many ways, not just the sauna, but with supplements, dealing with other people, and plenty of other things! sidenote......before I was a stay-at-home mom I worked for an insurance company and then for doctors, managing the billing office.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Any sauna is good??, I'm familiar with the temazcal (aztec for sweat lodge), where you use volcanic stones and some herbs sometimes. What you guys are talking abut are like the infrared saunas that sell at the store and sometimes they sell them on special for like $800???Living in a cold area like Ontario, this is something I'm interested, as here you don't easily sweat for like 6-7 months, and I saw a lot of improvement on my son after he was able to start sweating just this past summer.SashaFrom: sarahsu9 To: mb12valtrex Sent: Friday, November 4, 2011 11:13:44 AMSubject: Fw: Re: Infrared Saunas sound too good to be true.
