TK--- I am not sure but most of the more sensitive people [ that I

In general, what's the rule about assessing redistribution - what

TK--- yes, but if you don't feel anything either you are not as toxic

as others, not much is getting redistributed or your body can handle

it.

I tend to feel quite good after a sauna but the next day feel a lot

worse which tends to carry on for days afterwards. Anybody know why

this might happen?

I have exactly the same. Sauna stimulates the cells to put out toxins.

Maybe also mercury so it results in redistribution???

Part of it is heat stress, so you are recovering from stress just like

you would be if you ran a mile, or had some sort of emotional stress,

or some sort of financial stress. If you feel really crappy after

sauna you are probably overdoing it (temp or time or humidity).

Part of it is depletion of water and electrolytes. Need to drink lots

and take extra salt and possibly potassium.
