FIR saunas seem to have a great deal of promise in helping to promote cardiovascular health and the only way to effectively detox us of chemicals. It is also know that they are able to detox heavy metals. I wonder, though, if FIR also carries risks. I think the use of this technology is very limited. BAsed on my studies, I have not been able to find ones that conclusively provide answer against the arguments that these would increase chances of cancer and dna damage. I'd be very interested to know if any one on the forum has done research on FIR and what are your thoughts on its safety?
My interest in the area is more than just academic. I have a young son with autism. He has tested very high for heavy metals by provocation test, urinary porphyrins, and hair test. He is being chelated according to the AC protocol. Still, we're not getting the metal count down very well or very quickly. I think that FIR sauna would help to accelerate that process, but I don't want to do something if its only to increase the potential health problems he would face down the road. Any and all thoughts on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
