Flush Out Your Toxins with Sauna / Steam


When toxic metals and chemical food additives get inside your body, it takes a strong cleanser to scrub your body clean from the inside out. Natural cleansing is critical to remove body toxins, and protects from re-depositing them somewhere else in the body.Toxins such as lead, mercury, and the side effects of aspartame’s by-products of formic acid and formaldehyde, block nutrients from getting into normal body cells.
Researches has been done to confirm that the best and most effective method is by sweating out toxins via Sauna Therapy! After all, sweat contains more toxins than urine alone.

Sweating Out Toxins for Clear Skin : Detoxification should include some type of skin cleansing, because our skin it one of our best eliminative organs. Heavy metals are actually released through the skin’s pores when we sweat.

Sauna baths and steam rooms are great for removing toxins from the skin and regenerating one’s health and energy. It has been documented that our skin’s sweat glands when combined can perform as much detoxification as one (or both) kidneys.

Therefore, it is very important to support our skin for detoxification to be maximal. If our kidneys are damaged, then helping the skin will help the kidneys … indirectly, but effectively. This again supports the theory that flushing out toxins via Sauna Therapy is indeed the most effective way in getting rid of years of accumulated toxins!

Wiihabilitation Research: Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Using Wii Gaming ...

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Hemiparesis resulting in functional limitation of an upper extremity is common among stroke survivors. Although existing evidence suggests that increasing intensity of stroke rehabilitation therapy results in better motor recovery, limited evidence is available on the efficacy of virtual reality for stroke rehabilitation. METHODS: In this pilot, randomized, single-blinded clinical trial with 2 parallel groups involving stroke patients within 2 months, we compared the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of virtual reality using the Nintendo Wii gaming system (VRWii) versus recreational therapy (playing cards, bingo, or "Jenga") among those receiving standard rehabilitation to evaluate arm motor improvement. The primary feasibility outcome was the total time receiving the intervention. The primary safety outcome was the proportion of patients experiencing intervention-related adverse events during the study period. Efficacy, a secondary outcome measure, was evaluated with the Wolf Motor Function Test, Box and Block Test, and Stroke Impact Scale at 4 weeks after intervention. RESULTS: Overall, 22 of 110 (20%) of screened patients were randomized. The mean age (range) was 61.3 (41 to 83) years. Two participants dropped out after a training session. The interventions were successfully delivered in 9 of 10 participants in the VRWii and 8 of 10 in the recreational therapy arm. The mean total session time was 388 minutes in the recreational therapy group compared with 364 minutes in the VRWii group (P=0.75). There were no serious adverse events in any group. Relative to the recreational therapy group, participants in the VRWii arm had a significant improvement in mean motor function of 7 seconds (Wolf Motor Function Test, 7.4 seconds; 95% CI, -14.5, -0.2) after adjustment for age, baseline functional status (Wolf Motor Function Test), and stroke severity. CONCLUSIONS: VRWii gaming technology represents a safe, feasible, and potentially effective alternative to facilitate rehabilitation therapy and promote motor recovery after stroke.
