Toss Out the Toxins and Heat up with Sauna Therapy with Dr. Tom Bayne, D.A.
CanFitPro Magazine states that people can eliminate 80 percent of their life-long toxic build up by sweating for only 100 hours in a sauna. More than 77,000 chemicals are in active production in North America that can inhibit healthy body functions. ChicagoHealers.com Practitioner Dr. Tom Bayne, D.A., explains that Far-Infrared Sauna Therapy is a new treatment that can extract harmful chemicals, toxins and increase bodily functions as well as heal previous illnesses. By delivering penetrating warmth to the body, the far-infrared sauna increases the body’s own infrared energy levels, encouraging a slight rise in body temperature that boosts natural detoxification immune functions.
“Unlike the high heat produced in traditional saunas, far-infrared heat is able to penetrate the body to a depth of 1.5 to 2 inches,” Dr. Bayne says. “This stimulates the body’s immune system and cellular detoxifications more effectively than a traditional sauna.”
Far-Infrared Sauna Therapy allows the body to create an artificial fever, which has a positive effect on the immune system. Fever is the body’s way of fighting bacteria and disease, so as the sauna creates this affect it wards off invading organisms. In the early stages of a cold or flu, far-infrared heat treatment has also been known to cure the disease before the symptoms arise.
Dr. Bayne provides the following benefits of Far-Infrared Sauna Treatment:
Stress – The heat allows the capillaries to dilate, which can improve circulation, thus reducing stress levels, according to www.mediawaveonline.com.
Immune System – A beneficial increase in body temperature improves immune health by boosting production of infection-fighting white blood cells and killer T-cells.
Weight Loss – A single sauna session can burn as many as 600 calories. The sauna therapy is also effective in cellulite reduction.
Cardiovascular Improvement – The heat treatment enhances endothelial nitric oxide which lowers blood pressure and improves cardiovascular function.
Pain Relief – As the heat improves blood flow and circulation, the body is able to speed up the healing process and achieve natural pain relief.

Tip of the Week: Choosy Moms Choose Chiropractics. Dr. Helen Lee, D.C, Discusses Why Chiropractic Care is Beneficial to Children
Fonteschiropracticwellness.com reports that 85 percent of the patients treated with chiropractic care become symptom-free or show improvement. ChicagoHealers.com Practitioner Dr. Helen Lee, D.C., states that parents who understand true wellness and preventative care utilize Chiropractors as part of their wellness team of doctors for their children as well as themselves.
“Chiropractics can help the body adapt to the stressors of life by keeping balance within the nervous & energetic systems of the body,” says Dr. Lee. “With these systems in sync, a child’s body can grow into its full potential with ease.”
From the moment a child is conceived it will begin to experience physical, emotional, and chemical stressors. Chiropractics let the body heal and grow the way it was designed to. It is a good idea for children to be treated with chiropractics in order to maximize their body’s ability to work and function.
Dr. Lee provides the following tips on how to tell if your child needs chiropractic care:
Infants – Signs of Colic, digestive issues, issues with sleep, or chronic ear infections and sickness, prior to and post-vaccines.
Children – Postural issues or slouching, headaches, “growing pains,” chronic sickness or symptoms of ADD/ADHD.
Teens – Chronic back and neck discomfort, sports related falls or injuries, curvature of the spine, or headaches.
