As many people already know, the primary root cause
of cancer formation is the mutation of DNA in the cell. Most often
this mutation is the result of too many free radicals in the body.
Free radicals are molecules with an unpaired electron in their outermost
shell. In plain English, what happens is that free radicals bounce
around inside your body looking to pair up that unpaired electron.
They do this by stealing an electron from another cell thereby making
that cell a free radical. Once this happens, these new free radicals
must also seek out an electron to steal, creating a chain reaction.
CELLULAR DAMAGE
The new free radical cell becomes damaged or altered because "cell
membranes are made of unsaturated lipids. The unsaturated lipid
molecules of cell membranes are particularly susceptible to this
damaging free radicals process and readily contribute to the uncontrolled
chain reaction. Oxidative damage, another name for the chemical
reaction that free radicals cause, can lead to a breakdown or even
hardening of lipids, which makeup all cell walls. If the cell wall
is hardened (lipid peroxidation) then it becomes impossible for
the cell to properly get its nutrients, get signals from other cells
to perform an action (such as firing of a neuron) and many other
cellular activities can be affected." 1
FREE RADICALS, TOXINS AND CANCER
Toxins exist everywhere in our daily lives: produce sprayed with
pesticides, antibiotics, cigarette smoke, and growth hormones found
in meant, even many common household cleaners, to name just a small
few. These toxins are stored in the body and build up over time.
These toxins become so problematic because of their free radical
initiating properties. When you add in toxic metals to the mix,
the problem grows exponentially. When free radicals take an electron
from an otherwise healthy cell it turns that one cell into a free
radical that then turns one other cell into a fre radical. When
that same free radical bumps into a molecule of metal floating around
in the body in multiplies that chain reaction by thousands, possibly
millions. This is why detoxifiying yourself of these heavy metals
is so important. "If you remove the toxic metals from the body,
you then greatly reduce the activity and the number of free radicals."

HOW A FAR INFRARED SAUNA CAN HELP
The body has numerous natural defenses to rid itself of these free
radicals, of course. It not only produces a certain amount of cancer
fighting agents on its own, but it also has a natural method for
releasing foreign toxins through sweat. As many people will agree,
one of the best ways to both prevent and to fight cancer is to aid
the body with its own natural defenses. Using an infrared sauna
will do just that: it raises the body’s core temperature and
induces a deep penetrating detoxifying sweat, helping the body remove
toxic buildup. An infrared sauna is also especially helpful because
it can produce a sweat without subjecting your body to the extreme
environment of a traditional rock sauna. This can provide a viable
option for aiding your body in sweat detoxification in cases where
exercise may be too strenuous due to health conditions.
