This is the one I ordered and LOVE it. I lay down and my head is out or my arms if I get too hot. Ships from FLorida and I got the $249 one. Well worth it!

I have one. Love it. Best $200.00 I have spent since being diagnosed in 2003. Use it nearly every day.

Has anybody ever lost weight with one of these?

canefan17; That is the one I have. My first one so I have nothing to compare it to but I do love it. Settings 1-5 allow for some variation in temp. I feel a nice slow deep internal heating...
I am at level 3 for 30 minutes now and find that it really, really helps when I am feeling toxic overload.
Yes, I have lost weight since using it but that is not something I want. There is some research that show a 30 minute IR session can burn 300-600 calories - and it is not just water weight.
I have to increase my calories by about 500 on days that I use it or my weight will drop too low.

If you have a picc or a port in, can you go in an infrared sauna?

I was wondering the same thing!! I would like to try this as well but not sure what impact it will have on my Picc Line.

I've heard that Infrared Light can cause cataracts, so i guess wear eye protection, i don't know what; are there special sunglasses for infrared?
I haven't researched it, it's just something i think i heard.

I bought that exact same unit and just got it today. Within the first 5 minutes I had a mishap and got injured. DON'T use the little stool that comes with the unit. Within a few minutes, the stool collapsed underneath me, literally bent in half, and I fell backward and the unit collapsed on top of me and burnt my arm. I was laying on the ground with the hot unit on top of me and was lucky I was finally able to zip myself out, otherwise I probably would have suffocated. I am a 180 pound guy, so I don't really consider myself too big. I'm lucky I didn't get hurt any worse than I did. I'm sure it would have worked just fine if it wasn't for the flimsy child-sized stool they send with it.
If you get this one, read the directions...they are hilarious! Very poorly translated to English and the mistakes will give you a very good laugh.

Oh my gosh, kj, and there you were, captive inside it. Not cool.
I think the ones at the health expos always have regular chairs in them.

I love mine. Have had it for yrs. I am Sorry about your experience KJ.
I am small so no problem. Hopefully u can find a chair that works.
I out gassed mine outside as it was toxic for me having mcs. After that it has been great. For the $ its a Blessings for me. Posted by jeffinca11 (Member # 25584) on :
Hi Santa Cruz. How long did it take you to outgas the unit?
Posted by mojo (Member # 9309) on :
I have one similar to this (just a tad different) and I've been using it for 4 to 5 years with great results.
I ordered a new one and it's been shippee but not delivered.
