The Detox Strategy

The Detox Strategy:

Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps

Regardless of where and how you live, your body is harboring dozens if not hundreds of toxins that could be sabotaging your health. Low on energy? Dealing with chronic illness? Having trouble losing weight? Toxins might be to blame. From your mattress to your toothpaste to your nonstick pans to the food you eat and the (bottled) water you drink — every day your body is bombarded with chemicals that can alter the way your body works, affecting its natural processes and capacity to heal and maintain vibrancy.

Even though we are built to handle foreign substances effectively, our liver and other organs simply cannot cope with today’s glut of toxins, many of which are too foreign and toxic for our bodies to manage well. This ultimately causes us to age prematurely, to gain weight, and to become more prone to disease.

Saunas/Steam Baths

The skin is our largest organ, eliminating waste via perspiration. Heat causes toxins to be released from cells into the lymphatic fluid. Since sweat is manufactured from lymphatic fluid, the toxins from the lymph are released when the body perspires. Sweating occurs naturally during strenuous activity such as exercise; exposure to the sun; or being in a warm room. Saunas (dry heat) or steam baths (wet heat) create sweat intentionally for therapeutic purposes. This ’sweat (hyperthermic) therapy’ not only releases toxins from the skin but also relaxes muscles, easing aches and pains. Releasing toxins via the skin through perspiration removes the load from the kidneys and liver, so those with impaired liver or kidney function may safely detoxify in this manner.

Raising the core temperature of the body through the hyperthermic effect has been shown to have a favorable impact upon the immune system. It is one of the few known ways to stimulate increased production of growth hormone, which helps the body shed fat, while maintaining lean muscle mass. Hyperthermic therapy also helps to restore autonomic nervous system function. This system governs muscle tension, sweating, blood pressure, digestion and balance. The autonomic nervous system is often dysfunctional in people with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. For this reason, people with these conditions can benefit from the two types of sauna therapies:

- Conventional sauna
- Infrared sauna

A conventional sauna heats the air either electrically or by burning wood. The skin perspires as a result of direct contact with the hot air. Typically, temperatures of 180 to 235 degrees Fahrenheit are used to induce sweating. These high temperatures increase cardiac load in the same way that aerobic exercise does.

Hal Huggins, DDS, an authority on mercury detoxification, recommends use of the sauna for detoxification. He suggests that the ill or environmentally sensitive patient start out at a temperature of 135 degrees and work up to staying in the sauna for 45 minutes without discomfort, then leave the sauna at any sign of discomfort. Once 135 degrees is comfortably tolerated for 45 minutes, temperature may be gradually increased to 145 degrees. (These temperatures apply to a conventional sauna, not infrared.)
