I'm going to try a rocephin sauna this weekend. Take shot of rocephin and then hit the sauna for as long as I can stand it. See how much of a herx I get.

Probably do it Friday, so I have the weekend to recover before work.

My own St George clinic.

Please be careful but shouldnt you sauna first to increase circulation then hit with antibiotics-do that with someone monitoring you

Why? Sauna may purge some abx. Plus if tactics serves me right wouldn't you wanna kill first then sauna to purge die off? So maybe and hr or so after? Idk I would like to hear from others who use abx.

Randy- do what you want but I would increase my circulation to get the antibiotic in and throughout the body more. That is what my doc does when he does IPT- he also injects dmso with this.

My understanding is st. Georges does sauna and IV at same time

Mild exercise can increase circulation along with stretching. Maybe this would be less impacting then take abx then later do sauna?

This is a very interesting exchange. Magoo, do you have a sauna? I do. Seems Randy does too.

Fields, if you sweat easily sauna it is a great detoxer. If you don't, it heats the tissue and brings on a herx. However, if you heat your body first in an Epsom salts bath then sauna, you really sweat and detox is awesome.

I'm not quite sure about the circulation and rocephin. I did iv rocephin and the pic line to the heart does a great job circulating the abx. Gfields, is yours an injection into tissue?

So it depends on what you are looking for. If you want to detox
make sure you do the bath than do the sauna.

Randy what is earthing?
Posted 1/12/2017 11:39 PM (GMT -5)
Fields ..good idea keep us posted ...i do iv then 110degrees ..its intense..2 day recovery ..

earthing is putting feet in dirt or grass or some machines have a grounding wire ...
Chi can be drawn from concrete but its much easier when the earth touches you.

What blue said lol
Earthing is said to be a mild detoxer, lymp stimulator and emf discharge. Plus resets the bodies natural vibration.
I've been doing it for months and it's a valuable tool in my box for healing. When temps drop below -5° and I can't go outside for several days I notice a difference.

I do 120 and it takes me an hour to sweat. That's why I heat my muscles in a hot bath first if I want to detox. I'm also careful about my schedule and needing recovery time, blue. I can really put you out of commission.

I've never heard of earthing. Very interesting. I'll look into it. Thanks!!

Oh and yes I do have fir sauna. I use it daily.

Well, I did it tonight. Felt pretty darn good, but might pay with a herx tomorrow, we'll see.

I hadn't been to that YMCA since I was 7 years old. Really weird to go back in that building and see the pool where I took swimming lessons as a kid. Looks a lot smaller than it used to!

I remember the sauna well. I went in there a couple times as a kid. It's totally decrepit and old inside. It's like being inside a wooden coffin. Really weird place, but interesting experience. The door is half sized with this diamond shaped window. It was probably made in the 20s I'd imagine. There's only one light in the wood coffin so everything's really dark. The wood that touches the backs of sweaty old men has rotted away from the salt.

In any case, interesting experience all around. Some nice guys in there. Felt clean when I got out.

My understanding was that shooting up abx and then taking a sauna would increase absortion of the abx into cells and maybe also help it penetrate the bbb. I thought that was the reasoning behind St George giving an IV while performing hypthermia.

hey if it works do it. just be careful. from the sounds of the coffin lyme might be the least of your worries lol jk

ha ... It's got some real character, I must say.

PT-for increase sweating try taking some kelp before and some niacin ( the kind that gives you a flush). A niacin flush is like a sunburn-feels odd the first time but know it will not hurt you. We used both kelp and niacin when I did the 9-11 detox.

Gfields-Sauna helps detox and does get the meds absorption but also helps in other ways. The immune system can greatly increase for one. I also understand that healthy cells just handle heat better and unhealthy cells can die in high heat. So many good things happen and I try to sauna a couple times a week.

I head that St George also uses IPT to get the antibiotics in further-which is really a cool twist on IV antibiotics.

I do own a sauna-I had a measurable amount of pesticide in my system when I first got sick and needed to get that out-so I bought mine and did a very aggressive sauna program in NY with the 9-11 rescue workers ( 30 minutes of cardio and 4.5 hours of sauna a day-7 days a week-45 days).

Now I really like an ozone sauna-I did the ozone sauna today-for my money that's the best at increasing a persons health.

thats a pretty heavy sauna prote. did u break it up into multiple sessions or do 4.5hrs straight each day?
Posted 1/14/2017 7:22 AM (GMT -5)
Randy- its an aggressive detox program that needs to be done with supervision-the 4.5 hours would have several small breaks-maybe 3-4 minutes every half hour or forty-five minutes.

Magoo

Wow that regime is intense.

Niacin, intereresting. I had forgotten about niacin. I could do a niacin flush. We used to do it in college. and I didn't know about the kelp.

I have a low basal temp and it takes me a long time to sweat. Heating the tissues up first helps tremendously. The detox is great!

I'm impressed you could do the cardio. That would kill me!

The kelp really seems to help people sweat-I couldn't do the cardio today.
I also have low basal temp-I am trying to add iodine lately. We will see
Posted 1/14/2017 10:06 AM (GMT -5)
Wow - Thanks for helping out those firefighters! I'm sure they really appreciated it.

How much do saunas go for? I guess you just buy the heating element and then you build your own little hut.
Posted 1/14/2017 10:32 AM (GMT -5)
Magoo, I was wondering if it is the iodine in the kelp.

Gfields, celebration saunas are far infrared saunas they are great and the customer service excellent. https://www.celebrationsaunas.com
Posted 1/14/2017 5:26 PM (GMT -5)
wow, that's surprisingly cheap!

They are very familiar with Lyme, at least the service rep I talked to is. She deals with Lyme patients all he time.
Posted 1/15/2017 3:13 PM (GMT -5)
Oh, interesting. So I guess it's somewhat common to treat lyme with sauna.

I went to the sauna again today. I stayed in for about 45 minutes. At about 40 minutes, I started to notice some head pressure. I still have it now. I stayed in another 5 minutes, and then got out.

I think the head pressure is probably a herx. It's probably die off of spirochetes.

I started to wonder if we can kind of measure the extent of our neuroborrealis by the amount of time it takes to develop head pressure. That would be assuming that the conditions of the sauna always remained the same. If it was kept at the same temperature.

So you could develop a chart of when you develop head pressure. If the timing goes up, maybe that's an indicator that you're making progress killing off spirochetes. If you had enough people keep accurate charts, maybe you could develop a mean percentage, which could give you an indicator of how severe your neuroborrealis case is. Just speculating here. Food for thought...

I started getting the head pain/pressure after the first week at about 30-40 in and now it comes at about 50min in and sometimes just as I finish.
I use my sauna 1hr a day everyday for the last month or so at 140°
