Infrared Sauna - One of the most powerful detoxifiers is an infrared thermal sauna. It sweats toxins out through the skin. Studies have shown that most of us have between 400 and 800 chemical residues stored in the fat cells of our bodies; not to mention heavy metals. Most of these potentially harmful toxins become stored within our fat cells and cannot be metabolized (excreted). This is especially so for those with slow metabolism. The skin is a major eliminative organ, but most people’s skin is very inactive. If you smoke, you can actually touch your arm with your tongue and taste the bitter nicotine leaving your body in a sauna or steam room. Sedentary living and sun damage also inactivates the skin. As the toxins build up, as in drugs and alcohol, they alter our metabolism, cause enzyme dysfunction and nutritional deficiencies, create hormonal imbalances, damage brain chemistry, and even cause cancer. As the toxins accumulate in different parts of the body and at different rates and in different combinations, there is a disturbingly large variety of different chronic illnesses which can result. Stored up toxins in the body can mimic any disease, and chronic diseases that were thought to have no known cause often disappear once toxic chemicals are gone.

Doctor Doris J. Rapp is a well-known allergist, homeopath and past president of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine. She stated unequivocally, “Everybody in this country needs to be detoxified because we have all become toxic dumpsites.” Doctor Rapp began using a far-infrared sauna after seeing a similar procedure being employed in a German clinic. She was impressed with the clinic’s work in detoxifying young children and infants.

The volume of sweat generated by the far-infrared sauna is profuse and may induce two or three times the sweat volume of conventional saunas, and yet they operate at a much cooler temperature range. The conventional sauna ranges from 180 to 235 degrees whereas the infrared range is from 110 to 130 degrees.

When you get serious about detoxification, you investigate every tool to facilitate the process. This is a great tool.

For more information, be sure to check out or complete article on the benefits of far infrared saunas for treatment of substance abuse and chemical dependency.

Suggested Dosage: Try and locate a local spa or health club that has an infrared sauna available. A usual stay in a sauna is about 20 minutes, followed by a shower. It is not going to do much good to spend time detoxifying if you don’t wash those toxins off your skin afterwards. Please drink lots of clean water before, during and after to keep hydrated and clean the toxins out. I like putting a little organic lemon juice in the water for my kidneys, in addition to adding a good electrolyte and mineral replacement formula to your water such as Cellfood or Emergen-C. The more trips you make to the sauna the better you will feel and the healthier you will be.


LL Magnetic Clay Baths – When it comes to substance abuse, detoxification and the purification of ones body is absolutely paramount. However, most traditional and homeopathic methods can only take you so far when it comes to the toxic buildup of heavy metals in your body such as cadmium, mercury, lead, arsenic, aluminum, and nickel. Unfortunately, these heavy metals are extremely difficult to remove from your body because the fact is; they are accumulated deep within your body tissue. What is especially frightening is that heavy metals have the capacity to cross the blood/brain barrier, and it is for that reason that a myriad of diseases and symptoms can be attributed the build up of heavy metals within the brain and spine.

Sadly, most individuals are misdiagnosed by medical professionals as to the true underlying cause for whatever condition they face, whether it be ADHD, Alzheimer’s, depression, etc, and are only given medical advice and prescriptions to mask the condition rather than to correct it.

LL’s magnetic clay baths assist in pulling out chemicals and heavy metals that have built up in your body from years of exposure to harmful products and environmental toxins. These clay baths are safe and effective in releasing metals such as mercury, arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, environmental toxins, chemicals, radiation, lead, etc. when used as directed and are very inexpensive compared to other treatments that are available. LL’s Magnetic Clays are uniquely designed to release specific heavy metals with seven different baths available:

Environmental Detox: This bath is for pollutants, insecticides, pesticides, vaccination poisons, industrial pollution, chemical warfare, and almost all chemicals including food additives, chlorine, etc. Also used for nickel and other metals not covered by the other formulas. Very helpful in radiation and lead detoxification.

Dental/Mercury Detox: This kit is for assisting the clearing of dental/mercury poison from amalgams, fish and vaccinations.

Smokers/Drug Detox: This formula assists in removing toxins found in cigarette smoke (cadmium), tobacco, drugs,, and medical drugs or recreational drugs, smoke inhalation, etc. It is effective to release toxic substances found in tobacco such as tar, hexavelant chromium, hydrogen cyanide, nicotine, lead and arsenic.

Arsenic Detox: A formula that assists in removing toxins found in pesticides, industrial pollution, water supplies, and also addresses chemical wastes, assists in removing arsenic and arsenic of lead, etc.

Aluminum Detox: This kit helps remove toxic aluminum found in aluminum cans (cola drinks), cookware, aluminum foil, antacids, automotive exhaust, American cheese, milk products, table salt, toothpaste & deodorants. Also assists in releasing chemical residues.

Tox-Away Detox: This kit is a general detox bath to help remove metals.

Clear Out Detox: This is our newest formula and the spices and herbs in this are known for various situations that are present with metal and chemical poisons, such as digestive problems, parasites in the body, depression, etc. This bath also addresses the following metals: lead (lead poisoning), arsenic, mercury and aluminum poisoning. A great bath for a general detoxification.

Many people like to see the results of the bath of the toxins being pulled into the clay from their own body. These can be seen with Clear-Out, Smoker's/Drug Detox and Dental/Mercury Detox. The Tox-Away, Arsenic, Aluminum and Environmental formulas all have activated charcoal (black powder) and one cannot see the results in those formulas but many FEEL the results.

LL’s Magnetic Clays are designed to be used under professional supervision as there are many factors surrounding the correct application of the baths.
