I have had a Lyme infection for 8 years. I have improved a great deal with the treatments up to the time I decided to do the sauna program, but I felt the best thing to do would be to take any and all steps needed to maximize my chances of improved health. The problems I had related to Lyme disease were memory problems, dizziness, muscle twitching, clouded thinking and extreme daily tiredness.

I am a contractor and have had a history of toxic exposures that include cadium/lead soldering, and unprotected demolition, painting/staining and chemical treatments of numerous investment properties. I also did metal work including welding, cutting, and grinding.

I had sinus problems, headaches, and dizziness daily. When I started this program I initially noticed severe itching, dizziness and tooth pain while sweating in the sauna. I turned on old sunburns and had stabbing pains in the top of my head. My cheek and face and lip turned numb, swollen sinuses and a metal taste in my mouth during the early days. Then I started sweating out fragments of metal and tile from my face and head, a small red mark would appear and then a piece of metal would come out, went on for about two weeks. My sinuses burned while I was getting sick to my stomach and that is exactly way I felt in the past when I did soldering. I would come home from work those days and be unable to sleep and had headaches with a racing mind all night. The other employees, who did the same thing, also complained of these things and being sick to their stomachs. I had red marks on my forehead where goggles would have been when I was burning metal. Those marks at times would sting and burn and the skin got dry, turned brown and then healed. Dull aches like I would get from painting as well as sweating out white stuff, which just happened to be the color of paint I used, and the symptoms I had came and went as I was sweating in the sauna. One day I smelled like sewer. My shirts turned yellow and my hand towels turn brown, even with four showers a day!!

It still boggles my mind that those things were in my body during these years and in the exact spot of the exposures and that they can come out.

My girlfriend has been commenting that my skin looks younger and my eyes are brighter. Things seem brighter and clearer to me and I have an improved sense of smell and taste, I have no more headaches. The best thing to me is the increased memory; I can follow a thought and stay with it and remember much more details of any situation than before. I am not dizzy right now and I hope it lasts, it will be way lessened. I definitely have a better sense of well being.

I appreciate Mr. Hubbard for designing this program and having a chance to go through it and I want to thank Dr. Maulfair and Coleen for making this program available.

T.S.

The decision to travel to Pennsylvania to do the sauna detox program took me a while to make. I didn't know a single person who had done the program and, frankly, it sounded a bit wacky. I had a long list of health problems, however, and finally desperation won the day and I packed up the car. I now feel this was one of the best decisions of my life.

Within the first few days my eyesight suddenly sharpened and colors became somehow much brighter. Soon I noticed that my mind was more focused and alert. Vocabulary words that I knew but rarely used began popping into my speech with no effort on my part. Then my legs became stronger. My coordination improved. It seemed like each day brought more small improvements which, after a few weeks, added up to a lot--more, in fact, than I had gotten going to expensive and highly touted mainstream doctors for years.

I found the beginning of the program hard. Each night I just fell into bed or watched TV like a zombie. As the time went by, my energy slowly increased (I had virtually none when I arrived) and my boyfriend and I roamed the area after the program sightseeing, playing miniature golf and visiting our favorite local goat. My mood lightened up subtly at first and then very markedly. I had been treated for depression since high school with, to be charitable, very limited results. I never thought of mood disorders as toxin related. So I was surprised to find that the program really, really helped in this regard. I am on no medication whatsoever and my mood feels good and stable. I was not initially convinced that toxins in our environment could cause a host of health problems. I was just hoping for any help I could get. Now, however, I feel completely sure that this is a very major factor in a large variety of illnesses and I have gotten more help that I even dared to hope for.

The program initially seemed expensive to me; I now view it was a huge bargain. If I had done this years ago, I would have saved the price of it many times over in money spent on useless treatments and idiot doctors.
