Robert Whitfield MD discusses infrared saunas and detoxification, including risks for people with implanted devices. Implants aren't tested for sauna heat exposure, and frequent sauna use combined with heavy metals from implants may trigger inflammation.
Everybody's trying to just take care of themselves. So they know infrared sauna will help them in the detox process. And sweating will help you in all this. But heating yourself up is. Is not going to help you with a prosthetic device. And the device that we're discussing doesn't have a shell that's titanium. Right. You can heat up somebody with a knee implant, they're not going to leach it. Heavy metals are obviously a problem, and we can get to your story later with heavy metals. But this girl, as soon as I took her implants out, she felt magically better, and she wasn't so much infected as she was basically melting herself in the sauna. So obviously, that's a strong example, because.
These implants are not tested in sauna heat.
No. You would not put anybody in a trial, FDA trial through that kind of heat. So that would never be part of a protocol in FDA's trial.
So I'm gonna say what you are not saying, because maybe it can't be said. What I think is that I was saunaing so much with my implants that it started to seep out.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And make me so inflamed and basically detox the implant into my system.
Well, especially. I mean, the sauna's been around forever, but the conversation around people using saunas or putting saunas in their home or going to places getting bigger and bigger and bigger. So more and more people are doing it.
