Re: Sauna before amalgam removal?

From what I understand saunas will help, but I would take water in with you to

cool donw your teeth, so that you don't heat up your teeth too much. Heat

really accelerates mercury vapor release.

I've always felt sauna helped me, but now I'm debating whether to join

the gym to start doing saunas again. It will be a few months before my

amalgams are out and I can start chelating. Wondering if sauna, like

exercise will stir up mercury...?

Hi ,

Thanks for your response. Indeed, I know better than to think I would

be doing much exercise at the gym :-) (not sure if that's what you

mean). After years of trying, it's clear that my body just cannot

recover from exercise - I feel worse the next day. Now I know why.

Indeed, rest is the best policy. But still I'd like a happy medium - I

feel better if I do something very gentle, and generally have felt

better with sauna. I'm thinking I will just be doing the sauna at the

gym - no exercise, except maybe laying on a mat and stretching for a

few minutes. At least it is close by and might be good for me

emotionally too - to get out of the house and be around people more

without having to " engage " necessarily. If I join and have to stop for

awhile, I think they'll hold my membership till I feel better - just

thought of that...

Well, I do definitely sweat in a dry sauna (don't care for steam

sauna). Water and electrolytes is good advice.

About sweating, since I've been supplementing cortisol etc. and my

body temp approaches normal for parts of the day (in the afternoon

essentially), I have been wondering if I am sweating more - or if it

is just a coincidence that it is now monsoon season here in southern

Arizona (high heat & humidity), and that my evaporative cooler doesn't

work as well as the one at the place I was living last summer. I'm

sweating up a storm right about now - and a lot more body odor along

with it. I'm thinking that is a good thing...

Right - great idea. Didn't think about the water in that sense. That's

part of what I was concerned about...

Thanks!

I had read this in the archives about FIR saunas. Interesting because

I did go to a gym once that had one and I rather liked it - I don't

recall having adverse effects from it specifically - just the usual

fatigue and related symptoms - hard to if this was aggravating it.

Fortunately, there is not one to be found in this area, other than

buying my own. The gym I'm thinking of going to has just the regular

dry heat - and they keep it good and hot, 24/7.

Thanks,

~ C.

I could use a FIR without any problems (that i noticed) before i had

amalgams out BUT I tried it once Post Amalgam and it really really

messed up my head. i could hardly drive home

So I am guessing it mobilizes mercury
