Hi
Rich Van K recommended a book called "7-Day Detox Miracle" By Peter Bennett & Stephen Barrie.
As Rich said the title is very offputting but the content is very good.
It's not just one of those do this for 7 days & you'll feel better. It contains lots of information on how the body works with toxins & even mentions FM & CFS! It explains good food, supplements & minerals.
I read it a while ago & remember it being well laid out & easy to read. Your mail has come as a reminder to re-read it.
I got it from Amazon - the American site rather than the UK one. I don't think it was expensive as I wouldn't have bought it.
Best wishes
Hi Diva,
Thanks for posting and thanks for the recommendation, I ordered the 7-Day Detox Miracle book from Amazon this morning.
Take care,
Maxine
Hi Maxine
I hope you enjoy the book .
If you could post your thoughts after reading it as it would be good to get a fresh perspective on it.
Best wishes
I made a decision (or came to a realisation), many years ago, that for me I had to proceed on the basis that in reality I had no doctor and I was completely on my own with this. I took it as my own responsibility to investigate the options available, to experiment myself with what worked and what didn't - to be my own doctor and do my own science and to place zero trust in the official bodies. It was a turning point for me, and I've been getting better and better ever since.
Technically, it's called "Detoxify or Die" by Sherry Rogers MD who is an environmental medicine specialist. She wrote an earlier book called "Tired or Toxic" which covers some of the same territory. I think I might actually like that book better. It uses gentler methods of detox such as organic foods and antioxidants. It has a good explanation of the detox pathways.
I tried a FIR sauna several years ago and had a lot of trouble with even a very cautious small trial and had to discontinue. Now that I've done metal chelation, got my minerals absorbing better with betaine hydrochloride, and have also been taking Folapro for almost a year, I imagine I would do a lot better with it. But I'm still chicken after my last experience - I had chest pains for 2 years afterwards until I chelated out metals.
Wow, Mark, very informative post.
Would you recommend the brand of FIR sauna that you have?
It's made by Avasa - not sure of the model, I'd have to look that up, but as I recall it cost less than 100 - that was over the internet from a UK supplier though.
Wayne - I'd advise you to consider getting your own sauna rather than using one at a health spa. I was strongly cautioned not to use public saunas, because all I would be doing is opening up my pores to absorb whatever toxins the previous users may have sweated out. I think that's much more true of conventional public saunas - I tried that and they made me feel awful, whereas I used to really enjoy them - but I would guess it could still apply to FIR.
I posted a load of detailed tips on FIR saunas based on my experience, on another thread about a month ago maybe - an advanced search for posts by me with 'FIR' or 'sauna' should find it...
