Allowing toxins to accumulate in our bodies tears us down much as dumping grit and acid into gears destroys a fine-tuned machine. Nature, under ideal conditions, provides for detoxification on a daily basis. Sunlight contains a specific wavelength called “far infrared” (FIR) that heats objects, including us, by direct light conversion (DLC). That means an object is warmed without raising the temperature of the surrounding air.

You’ve experienced that phenomenon if you’ve touched the steering wheel of an automobile parked in direct sunlight. The wheel is much warmer than the air contained in the car. How does that occur? Far infrared rays cause a resonant vibration within the molecules of an object producing heat. In the human body, controlled warmth is an important part of healing. Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, said, “Give me the power to create a fever, and I shall cure any disease.”
Sweating is one of God’s gifts to help rid us the poisons that threaten our quality of life and life itself. Too often, man’s method is to add more toxins in the form of drugs. Reading the fine print on a prescription describes side effects that may even be worse than the symptom being treated.

When you cannot be regularly exposed to the cleansing power of sunlight due to a mostly indoor lifestyle or weather conditions, what is the alternative? A special ceramic infrared heater, patented in 1965 and used in Japan, was extended to the US in 1981. Unlike the heat in a traditional sauna or from IR lamps, the FIR heater emits infrared rays between 2 to 5 microns, which penetrate deep into the human body to perform the same essential function provided by the sun. By contrast, near infrared rays (NIR) heat organic substances at the surface, requiring higher temperatures to warm the interior by conduction. Such heat can be damaging to exposed tissues.

Detox America developed a portable sauna that incorporates the heater in a lightweight portable unit lined with heat activated FIR radiant materials to reach all parts of the body. Proven safe for even high-risk cardiac patients and the elderly, according to a Mayo Clinic study, the FIR sauna operates at a much lower temperature than traditional units (90-1200 compared to 180-2100 or more).
Toxic substances are forced out of cell tissue and secreted by the sweat and dermis layer fat glands. The elevated temperature of subcutaneous layers expands blood capillaries, improves lymphatic flow and blood circulation, increases metabolism, promotes regeneration of tissue, and reduces cramping in muscle fibers.

Progressive Medical Centers have used the Detox America saunas in the treatment of patients suffering from heart disease, cancer, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and obesity. PMC has found that those with these conditions have responded favorably to FIR treatments. Patients also experience relief from chronic pains such as sciatica, upper and lower back pain, arthritis, rheumatism, joint stiffness, strained muscles and tension, and spinal cord shock.
An important breakthrough is the treatment of cancer. If blood circulation is smooth and consistent cancerous cells are not able to settle down to attach themselves to healthy cells and proliferate. In addition, FIR induced heat above 420 Celsius can kill the cancer cells.
A Nobel Prize was awarded in 1998 to three scientists who found that nitric oxide gas, which is released into the blood from hemoglobin, turns on the immune system and allows natural healing to take place. FIR waves releases nitric oxide gas into the blood and plasma of normal adult patients. Treatment of various diabetic cases with problems unable to be healed, were aided in their recovery by FIR.
Detox America’s Sauna is also ozone infused. Ozone (03) is a very powerful antibacterial, germicidal and anti-fungal agent. Combined with the FIR waves, ozone helps combat toxicity at a cellular level, accelerates brain cell repair, relieves brain fogging, boosts the immune system, and kills bad cells without harming the good ones.
Few of us get enough sun and exercise to control our ballooning weight. Thirty minutes of swimming, jogging, chopping wood, or cycling burns about 300 calories. Vigorous racquetball, marathon running, or competition rowing can burn 500-600 calories. Sitting comfortably in your FIR sauna, listening to music or reading a favorite book, burns 400-600 calories in the same thirty minutes.

Simple to operate, Detox America’s sauna heats up in five minutes, costs only ten cents per hour to operate, is durable, and comes with a portable carrying case. Whether purchased for your own use or as a care-giving gift for others, few affordable modern developments offer so many benefits in one package.
