Body Burden What is it ? How Can You get rid of it ?
· BODY BURDEN ·
Have you heard this phrase yet ! ? Body Burden is a term being used to describe the crushing health burden of the many, contaminants-chemicals and toxins in your body. Most of these are man-made chemicals which have no place being in humans or any other living creatures, for that matter. They can cause immediate AND long-term health problems and disease processes.
If you scroll down the page - you can watch an important video on what you can do to help yourself.
Scientists have known about ( body burden ) for hundreds of years. Even longer, since it was a common problem even in Plato's day and age. More and more studies show how far reaching and widespread this problem is.
"And we have made of ourselves living cesspools, and driven doctors to invent names for our diseases."
* * Plato * *
You may, or may not, remember DDT . . . and very famous and well-publicized studies of it's many adverse effects. Researchers found DDT residue in humans and they also concluded that it was directly responsible for the thinning of the Bald Eagle shells and the reason for the declining eagle population. Since the chemical had gotten into the water and then into the fish , which the eagles consumed and thus resulted in the weak shells of their eggs - which were easily damaged or destroyed. The chemical was detected as far away as Anartica.
You are exposed to chemicals - toxins and contaminants which add to your body burden - whether you live in a big city - or an isolated rural area!
Chemicals attach themselves to dust particles and float through the air. Chemicals and toxins get into water currents - ground water and they can travel far and wide. Far, far away from their point of origin.
Defoliants or pesticides used in Central or South America , can quickly catch air currents and be brought to other countries across the globe. In other words, you can run, but you can't hide. All these and more add to our body burden.
This is true for all areas of the world. . . what is used in one country , does not simply stay hovering over that particular country to cause problems, but will make it's way around the planet, adversely affecting everyone exposed!
There are literally THOUSANDS OF CHEMICALS out there, more than 80,000. We are exposed to many chemicals and contaminants everyday. Only a handful have been tested to find out the effects on your health. Most have not even been screened for even ONE adverse health effect!
A recent study was done, that tested people in 7 states, including a U.S. Senator. This study checked for three different toxic chemicals. All three chemicals were found in the test subjects. The percentage of chemicals in the test subjects, were known to cause disease in lab animals if given in the same quantities!
Body Burden is something rarely considered when a person goes to the doctor with a myriad of complaints and conditions.
Scientists estimate that every person has within their body , approximately 700 chemical contaminants at any given time! * (Onstot) * (www.bodyburden.org)
Eating - Breathing - Skin Absorption ! You are exposed to contaminants and chemicals through the food you eat, the water you drink and shower in and the air you breathe. Everyday you are exposed to countless products - man-made chemicals and contaminants as well as viruses and mycoplasmas from infected people with certain chronic diseases. All these add to your own personal body burden.
Over a period of time, depending on your levels of exposure to these toxins, chemicals, heavy metals as well as other un-natural intruders such as viruses, etc. . . These (poisons) - (toxins) - and (pathogens) will accumulate in your body if you cannot eliminate them faster than they build up.
Your Body Burden !
Some of the Common Toxins that contribute to your Body Burden . . .
Pesticide Residue - Non Organic fruits and vegetables , whether they are fresh, canned or frozen, can contain all sorts of toxins and carcinogens from pesticide use. We are also given GMO food and still do not know the long term effects of these genetically modified organisms. When will they learn to leave well enough alone ?
Dioxin - a well-known carcinogen, is most commonly ingested in the food you eat. It could have come from anywhere. A waste incinerator or paper mill miles and miles away.
Toxins remaining in the body from immunizations, etc. - Leftover toxins from certain vaccines can contribute to the heavy metal burden and are thought to cause all kinds of health problems in both children as well as adults.
Mycoplasmas - A type of bacteria that do not have a cell wall. Since they have no cell walls they can be unaffected by some antibiotics. Another reason your body has a hard time with these bad bacteria , is because they have a shape-shifting ability and can be parasitic. Some are pathogenic and can cause a type of hard-to-cure pneumonia and other respiratory problems.
They can also be traced to pelvic inflammatory disease and can contribute to some types of cancers - fibromyalgia - lupus - chronic fatigue and more. These mycoplasmas are found in the blood and cells of people with some types of chronic disease and they can adapt and change to move anywhere within your body. Since they have no cell walls of their own, they can penetrate any living cell and then begin to replicate and cause all kinds of health problems.
PCB's - These are in contaminated soil - water - food and air. They are supposedly no longer produced in the U.S., but they are still present here because of the length of time needed for them to break down. In the areas where they were manufactured or used or disposed of there is cause for alarm due to leakage or spillage that has already occurred. You could be exposed through skin contact or drinking contaminated water - eating fish that live in contaminated water, etc.
Heavy Metals will add to your Body Burden
Aluminum - Check your lablels ! Most anti-perspirants contain aluminum. And may be in some baking powders. Be aware Canned food cans, soda cans (you shouldn't be drinking or eating food in cans anyway !), antacids, cookware, cosmetics, processed cheese, smelting plants . . . . on and on we go.
It is very common in today's world for you to be exposed to aluminum from many sources. You can absorb the metal through your skin, into your lungs and through your digestive system. It can affect your bones (osteoporosis) and has a negative impact on all your vital organs , including your brain.
Aluminum is thought to be the main culprit in neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's as well as dementia. Aluminum toxicity can also cause stomach problems.
Arsenic - "Arsenic and Old Lace" a quaint little play, but nothing to chuckle about when you are exposed to it in everyday life ! It is very poisonous, colorless and odorless.
Sources of arsenic can be from Chemical processing plants - second-hand cigarette smoke - fungicides - seafood - metal foundries and ore smelters - weed killers and more. . .
Can cause kidney damage - skin cancer - liver , bladder and lung cancers.
Lead - Many products containing lead that were in widespread use, such as house paint and gasoline , were discontinued many years ago. But lead contamination continues today , most commonly by drinking lead contaminated drinking water. Or - by breathing lead polluted air - living in or nearby an older lead based painted building - or, near certain industrial/manufacturing areas. Lead can be found in automobile exhaust, batteries, toxic/contaminated soils, cosmetics, some hair dyes, insecticides and cigarette smoke.
Lead can damage your nervous system as well as your heart and blood. It can also be a factor in a host of developmental problems in children.
Mercury - Can be found in dental amalgam fillings - batteries - air pollution - freshwater fish - salt water fish - shellfish - insecticides - fungicides - vaccines - tap water - cosmetics . . . .
Mercury can be in the ground you walk on. It can be in your mouth in your dental fillings. Mercury toxicity can affect your central nervous system and vital organs. It is thought to be a contributing factor in multiple sclerosis and autism and more...
These are just a few of the toxins you are exposed to on a more or less constant basis. All contribute to your personal Body Burden
What can YOU do to help rid your body of these harmful toxins and reduce your Body Burden ?

The LuxSauna is a valuable tool we can use against our body burden. By using a far infrared sauna we have experienced many positive and wide-ranging effects in our overall health.
We consider the LuxSauna far-infrared saunas to be superior to the other types of saunas.
And much more comfortable to use.
The healing heat generated by the LuxSauna is very comfortable to your body - dry and crisp - and since most of the heat penetrates your body the temperatures in a far-infrared sauna are quite a bit lower than other types of saunas - around 80 to 120 degrees Farenheit. If you can imagine sitting on a warm tropical beach, that is how I would describe the feeling I get when using the LuxSauna.
The steam saunas usually operate at anywhere from 180 to 200 plus degrees Farenheit with a moist humid heat.
Far Infrared is actually a particular band of light ray generated by the sun. It cannot be seen - but felt on your skin in the form of heat. It's very healthy for you.
It is not UltraViolet rays - your skin will not become "sun-burned".
The infrared heat in the LuxSauna will penetrate deep into fatty adipose tissue (if you have any) and will help stimulate your metabolism. This in turn, will help with your circulation and will stimulate muscle tissue and all your internal organs.
This vital combination of stimulation and heat will cause you to sweat and to begin releasing the toxins in your system.
When your circulation is increased it will bring much needed oxygen to all your tissues which is vitally important . You can go to our page What Causes Cancer? and read more on oxygenation of your body and it's importance.
You can also burn calories just by sitting - up to 600 calories per session.
Oxygenation - weight loss - and a release of toxins are just a few of the wonderful benefits of the LuxSauna saunas.
No worries about the installation - the saunas are very attractive and well-made - they can go in any room of your home and you can plug them into your regular wall outlet - they don't have any special wiring requirements.
~ Lifetime Warranty ~
Sauna manufacturers offer warranties, but have you come across any manufacturers who offer lifetime warranties?
LuxSauna may be the only sauna manufacturer who offers both a lifetime warranty and a 90-day trial period. They promise your complete satisfaction with any sauna you purchase from them. They are completely confident you will love your new sauna, once you try it and begin to notice all the positive benefits.
These are just a few of the helpful - healthful benefits of a far-infrared Sauna . . .

Start your day . . . with a relaxing , invigorating, cleansing sauna. The benefits of the far infrared LuxSauna are too numerous to list. Not only will it help to cleanse your body of the harmful toxins you are exposed to everyday, but it will help burn off unwanted fat and it will give you an overall sense of well-being. After a session in the sauna you will notice an immediate positive effect . Calming and Cleansing.Relaxing - and yet, your whole body will feel energized - pain is diminished as well.
We have used other types of saunas, but in our opinion, the Far Infrared LuxSauna is superior. Personally, I have not had positive experiences with the steam saunas, they seem to zap all my energy and the same goes for many others I have spoken to on this subject. Many people I have spoken with, tend to avoid the sauna thinking they are all alike, but you will be pleasantly surprised once you try the Far Infrared LuxSauna. It's just a different feeling altogether.
Once you try it - you will understand.
The Far Infrared Sauna can help you in your battle against your body burden and many other chronic conditions and pain. It is a valuable and effective tool that can help you regain your health and begin the healing process.

What You Can't See Can Hurt You!
"Indoor air quality doesn’t have to be seen to be believed. In fact, many airborne contaminants are invisible and can contribute to short and long-term health consequences."
Most of us see our homes as a sanctuary from pollution. But, according to a 2005 study - Californians will spend over $45 Billion a year on the negative health effects of indoor pollution !
Here is a short list of common pollutants found in most homes :
Chemical fumes - from cleaning products - dry cleaned clothes - building products and furnishings - carpet , etc.
Dust (made up of many constituents) and dust mites and their by-products - built up in pillows - beds - linens - upholstery ,etc.
Animal dander
Fumes from air fresheners
Pesticides
Formaldehyde - out-gassing from building products
Mold spores and fungi spores
Airborne toxins
Bacteria
Viruses

Airfree reduces Ozone whereas -
ozone generators generate dangerous levels of such harmful gas that destroys lung tissue, triggers respiratory diseases, and corrodes metallic equipment.

"What is the HTP? Through the Human Toxome Project at the Environmental Working Group, scientists, engineers, and medical doctors use cutting edge biomonitoring techniques to test blood, urine, breast milk and other human tissues for industrial chemicals that enter the human body as pollution via food, air, and water, or from exposures to ingredients in everyday consumer products."
