GIGI has posted a LOT of information about heavy metal detox. Please do a search in the archives for that valuable information.
That said, removing heavy metals takes a lof of knowledge. Some people who try to do it themselves end up sicker and more brain fogged than when they started. There are Naturopathic Doctors who can help.

This subject is such an individual thing and what is right for one is totally wrong for the next person trying to detox. Energetic testing is necessary and success without that is almost impossible. I learn more and more still every day simply by trying to guide my husband through it -- who is now dumping a big collection and in that process discovering hidden deficiencies that will hamper detoxing even when AI is done.
I literally test through several dozen support materials every day, because the body changes often during this process. It takes a few minutes and from that result, I prepare the drink for the day and next day.
TerryK is soooo right. It takes learning, and nothing helps more than learning some basics for energetic testing. I literally put no supplement into my mouth without testing it. I have done this type of detox for several years and have never used or tested positive for some of the products others can use. I still have a cupboard full of the stuff I got before I learned energetic testing. I found the tensor testing for me to be the easiest. Many of the ART (a form of muscle testing) rules apply to the tensor.
It's fine to be prepared, but if I had to do it all over again, I would make the effort to learn an easy form of testing along with the principles behind the testing and possible consequences that are always, always a part of detoxing. As Dr.K. told me 12 years ago: "the only way out is the way through!" The more knowledge, the better. Information available is unlimited once you recognize some of the more successful practitioners and what they have learned treating many patients every day. This is a learning process even for the best doctors. I would suggest reading their publications and protocols that include many of the why's and how's. Thanks to internet and doctors who are willing to share.
Take care.

Sauna should be used only with great caution. Toxic Metals and chemicals are very easily mobilized and moved into the brain, instead of away from the central nervous system. Detoxing should start with the lower body area/gut first and then gradually with agents that cross the blood brain barrier. If you take a sauna while the gut area, where the most nerve endings loaded with toxins are, especially metals, is still very contaminated, anything you force downward with a sauna is going to collide with a loaded gut area. That could really make a person sick. Compare it to get onto the freeway at high speed and then suddenly run into a roadblock of disabled cars!
I am not familiar with Juice Plus, but I would definitely test it before taking it during a toxic metal detox. You don't want to mobilize more than the body can handle without going into herxheimers and stressing the body more than necessary. Easy does it - with metal and chemical detox. Save your organs - gallbladder, kidneys, liver - heart.
All these things work if done right and much better with the guidance of someone who can test you with the proper agents.
Sorry to be Mrs. Careful, but damage is not easily undone. I have a warm and cozy sauna, but have also limped away from it with a spinning head. Thank God those days are long gone, but I learned from it.
Take care.
