Does the use of the IR sauna still necessitate someone to take binders internally? Or are all the toxins mobilized by IR sauna excreted solely through the skin?

And would one need to take a shower after using the IR sauna to wash away the poisons so they aren't re-absorbed through the skin?

GiGi, I want to ask you a question, but I wanted to do so via PM. I see you don't do PMs, is there another way I can communicate with you?

My LLMD says to take Chlorella thirty minutes before the IR sauna to sop up toxins that get mobilized by the sauna.

Yes, definitely, shower immediately following to wash off the toxins. It is even a good idea to have a towel in the sauna

if you sweat a lot to wipe off toxins before they can reabsorb through the skin.

After being in an FIR sauna, my doctor says to shower off with alternating hot and cold water. Says we're also detoxing internally through bile release into the liver.

He recommends also taking Takesumi activated charcoal to speed up the detoxification process of the FIR sauna.

Robin, how do you time the activated charcoal with respect to the sauna--before or after?

Thank you!

I drink water during and after doing the sauna. I take the takesumi charcoal away from anything with fats in it. So it's more of a dietary issue.

I've noticed that my sweat time has decreased majorly recently, from 35 or 40 minutes to an average of 20 minutes. My doctor thinks it could be due to the activated charcoal - hard to know for sure, so I just keep taking it!

Robin123, can you post a link for the Takesumi type you take. Thank you. It sounds very interesting especially as a heavy metal detox/binder
