While there are several valid reasons to be cautious with "rapid weight loss" strategies, one reason that is not common discussed is the fact that most folk risk a TOXIC FLOOD. The Environmental Working Group has been diligent in informing the public about 'body toxicity' due to environmental exposures, however several years before the US government reported significant stores of toxins in body fat (National Human Adipose Survey). Because several metabolites of drugs/toxins are stored in body fat, they are released into the body during periods of fasting/starvation and can cause reactions from simple discomfort to life threatening organ failure. Sauna therapy might be a more gentle approach, if done in relatively small increments of time (10-20 minutes /day over several weeks). People who have taken illicit drugs may re-experience a "high"...and should be monitored by an experience physician (check out Sacramento's Dr. Root) and a great text on the
subject by Nenah Sylver (The
Holistic Handbook of Sauna Therapy).
