Question from Linda Terzich
I want a sauna. Those poplar and glass far infrared units are ideal but at $2,800—yikes. So how to sweat and get far infrared?
Mercola has a do it yourself sauna post at http://www.mercola.com/2002/aug/14/sauna.htm. You can buy the lamps from the hardware store and affixing it (not to plywood) but maybe to pressboard right? And can use in a small bathroom or closet or he suggests two refrigerator boxes stapled together. I LOVE this idea! How inert would the boxes be? Again I’d have an oven thermometer in and make sure I don’t go above 110 degrees. And here again, boxes can have flaps cut in to regulate air flow/temperature.
You know how POOR most of us with MCS are ( I also have CFS). Make it yourself isn’t ideal but would be acheivable by everyone that isn’t on welfare.
If this is doable then everyone can have their own healing sauna.
Thank you,
Linda in Sarasota

This sounds like a good idea to me. You could use whatever material you best tolerate to make the box.
Some cardboard boxes may contain formaldehyde, so find ones you tolerate. Sitting them out in the sun for a few days can help “detox” them.
