Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia and the FIR Sauna

Hyperthermic Detoxification Program Using the Far-InfraRed |
“The Far-InfraRed sauna has been very beneficial in treating Fibromyalgia
and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). A number of doctors now believe that
the ‘toxic load’ of these patients is very high and their
detoxification pathways are often compromised. When one is able to reduce
the toxins in those with Fibromyalgia and CFS, their symptoms often greatly
improve. A number of these patients are unknowingly suffering from heavy
metal poisoning (i.e. mercury, lead and arsenic). In combination with
chelation therapy, or just on its own, the Far-InfraRed sauna has been
invaluable in accelerating the removal of these toxic metals. By raising
the core temperature and creating a ‘Hyperthermic’ effect,
the sauna also improves a number of parameters in the immune system.”

“ For the Chronic Fatigue or Fibromyalgia patient, Hyperthermic [Far-InfraRed
sauna] therapy helps to restore normal autonomic nervous system functioning.
This is the part of the nervous system, which governs unconscious functions such
as muscle tension, sweating, blood pressure, digestion and balance. Autonomic
dysregulation is the term used to describe changes in the nervous system, which
result in many of the symptoms of chronic fatigue and Fibromyalgia. Muscle pain,
excessive body odor, digestive complaints, visual disturbances and dizziness
are some of the many manifestations of autonomic dysregulation. Repeated sessions
of Hyperthermic therapy can greatly assist in the restoration of normal autonomic
nervous system functioning."
