Saunas?!?! Do they work?

[MISTER MANANA]

I was wondering if suanas work at removing toxins (drugs/metabolites from drugs ) out of your system? i havnt read anything about sweating toxins out but ive heard that it works!!

Also in the dilution methods i was wondering if your smaller/skinny does it matter how much you drink? could you drink less than the recomended?
In my case i followed the dilution directions but had to wait an hour to take my Test! so about 20 minutes there i ended up peeing at the Testing Site and drank a few drinks of water outta the fountain and then took my UA about 40 minutes later.I voided atleast 5-6 times before my UA (piss test) , just wondering if i will be all good?

Supposedly saunas just make you sweat they don't sweat fat so they don't get rid of thc. They do feel nice after a bowl though.imp:

[MISTER MANANA]

supposedly huh!! Well its said that sitting in a sauna until you burn fat (which if you work out before the sauna you will already be in burning fat mode) that you will remove 10-15% of toxins in your body!!!

Do the math that means that you can remove almost all the toxins in your body within 10 days!!!
The key is to make sure you drink enough liquids after the sauna to remove the toxins that stay in the body!!

Also massages will move toxins around and if you drink alot of water before and after massages you will piss and shit alot of the bad stuff out!!

So why not hit the sauna every other day for 2 weeks and spend 50 bucks on a massage..trust me with enough water intake and a good diet the longest it will take to get clean is 2 weeks..I dont care who you are!!

plus atleast you will feel good and healthy!!

[RunningScared]

Can anyone actually verify this? FBR? Anyone else? Sounds good, but almost too good to be true.

Well that's just crazy talk. Sitting in a sauna doesn't burn any calories and THC metabolites are not "TOXINS". Why would you think saunas burn calories? First of all, if people could burn fat and loose weight, saunas would be the number one selling product in the U.S. with its obesity problem. Next, saunas would probably actually slow down your metabolism because part of your basal metabolic calorie usage is to maintain body temp of 98.6. If you are in a sauna your body doesn't need to spend so many calories staying warm. What would probably be more effective would be sitting in a walk in cooler. Colder environments supposedly causes a slight increase in calorie usage.

More crazy talk. You can't rub things out of you body with massage. There are also plenty of people who take longer than 2 weeks to pass a test.


Just because your sweating doesn't mean you are removing THC metabolites from you body. THC is eliminated mainly by your liver and kidneys. Very little if any is eliminated through sweat.

In summary, Saunas, not very helpful.

[RunningScared]

Thanks FBR.........I figured the massage stuff was crap, but I really wondered about the sauna stuff. And yea, it would make a lot more sense to up your metabolism in the cold, since your body would have to "work harder" to maintain its normal temp.

As always, many thanks, bro!!!!!!

[MISTER MANANA]

IF you guys want to believe everything FBR says be my guest.
I dont think the guys is to wise.He found some info that has been out there for a while.Who doest know that aspirin messes with the emit test.but that has nothing to do with other tests that can be performed so .

As far as the sauna he is completley wrong!!
If anyone knows the correct way to use the sauna they know that you go for ten minute sessions atleast 4 times with a 5 minute cold shower between each session for a total of 60 minutes at the spa!!!

Calories are not fat!!!
read about calories...If it was all about removing all the calories out of your body you could just starve yourself and take fat burners.

Massages do work to remove toxins!

Here is my point!!
even if saunas and massages dont remove thc as FBR claims that is is 100% correct since he is a scientist with a doctors degree.oh wait your just a pot head like the rest of us looking up info on the internet..lol
anyways the saunas and massages with alot of water drinking and a good diet will remove "other toxins" that the body stored!! That will give the body a chance to remove "THC" quicker since its not working as hard!!!

But as far as saunas ,yes they do work and yes people have been using them for years to remove toxins,increase metabolism and burn fat.thats the reason why i mentioned them.You cant just sit in a sauna until you sweat and think you will burn fat but if you sit in there like i said with the 4 10 minute sessions with 4 5 minute showers between each session for an total of an hour of hot and cold therapy it will do you justice!! Massage yourself while your in the sauna and shower.Use albolene to sweat more !! it is like a parafin wax that boxers use to loose weight in the sauna!! Ive trained for boxing for years and ive lost 10 pounds in 2 days putting albolene on my body and sitting in the sauna for an hour! going back and forth from hot to cold. I agree subbing is the best but if you can stop for 2 weeks and do this you should be good!!

Im sure if yall are reading these threads you are looking for information! So look saunas up!
And if you really think that massages have no benefit you should stop smoking whatever it is your smoking because it obviously not green!!

You cant be right all the time!!

How bout this...
Drink all the water you can consume the day of your test and piss as much as you can .Add aspirin ,salt and calcium (which is what tums/rolaids is) take a multi-vitamin and go take the test!!!
Wow now i feel like FBR!! To bad people have been doing that since the 80s..wtf

PEOPLE ALREADY HEARD YOUR OPINIONS ON SUBBING AND DILUTION BUT SOME PEOPLE WANT TO REALLY KNOW HOW TO GET THE THC/DRUGS OUT OF THERE SYSTEM AND IM HERE TO HELP YOU ALL!!
SAUNAS,WATER,MASSAGES,WATER,A GOOD DIET AND TRY AND BUST SOME NUTS . IF YOU DONT HAVE A GIRL SAY HELLO TO YOUR LIL HAND AND SPIT IT OUT !! YOU HAVE TO GET WHAT IS IN YOUR SYSTEM OUT!
I COULD INCLUDE A ENEMA IF YALL WANT TO GO TO THE EXTREMES. THAT MAYBE GOOD FOR OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE BUT IF YOU ARE AVERAGE OR A LIL OVER AVERAGE IM SURE JUST ADDING FRUITS AND FIBER TO YOUR DIET WILL HAVE YOU BOO BOOING PRETTY GOOD!!
IF YOU WANT IT OUT YOU HAVE TO GET IT OUT!!

I corrected the spelling in your title, Mr. Manana. Somehow, I'll believe the evidence presented to me by FBR, who's had four years of college science followed by four years of medical school and further years or residency, over someone who can't spell "sauna" and wants to tout the advantages of massage for detoxification. Massage can indeed move fluid around and out of muscle tissues and help empty it into the lymphatic system, but it can't do the job of the liver and kidneys in metabolizing and excreting drug metabolites from the system. You could learn a lot from listening to concrete scientific and lab-testing expertise instead of encourage people to grasp onto detoxification folklore. FBR very much knows what he's talking about and has the education to back that up.
