Product Description
For sufferers of multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS), the lack of information on toxicity, coupled with skepticism, misdiagnosis, and very limited research in the medical community, has made treatment difficult. In the early 1980s, doctors began to experiment with thorough sweating as a way of purging the body of harmful chemicals. The use of a sauna was found surprisingly effective for treatment of a variety of illnesses.

Information on sauna detoxification therapy is therefore presented here in full so that MCS sufferers can make informed choices.The causes and symptoms of MCS are discussed, along with current medical information. Real life experiences of those who have chosen sauna treatment are provided with a look at such options as health clubs, detox centers and home sauna units.

The special value of this book is its detailed specifications and drawings for a home sauna made entirely of nontoxic building materials. Appendices include a directory of manufacturers and distributors, product information, helpful organizations, publications and other information.

Reader Reviews
First, let me be clear; I read this book. If you are looking for a book on "How To" use a sauna for Detox Therapy - this book is not it. The content of this books spends only one and a half pages on the actual Detox regimen but, even then, only in oblique reference to Scientology and one research paper. The remainder of the content is largely "How To Build A Sauna". The Bibliography is a recitation of sources, many of which are not in print, or not on point. The few Detox Centers listed are out of business or do not actually use Saunas. Finally, and regretably the Source Guide is a mere recitation of wholesale or retail sources many of which never carried chemically inactive material items.
