That's too bad. frown
I would cry in a continous desperate mad spell if i were unable to sauna.
I'm really sorry to hear that you can't use heat for detox. frown

What about clay then? Bentonite?!
Or find a way to fix the POTS first?

I feel for you not beeing able to sauna, i do!
To everyone else that CAN sauna and still haven't tried, your loss! to say it blunt.

I wish you could tolerate heat Birdlady, but what good is an empty wish like that.
I'm lucky!

You must still be very toxic, or atleast in the places where heart function and heat regulation is located centrally in your body. I don't know.

You aren't by change vegetarian are you?

I have been bothered by mercury since my first amalgam at the age of 8yrs old.
School and education, also many jobs were destroyed because of it.
I were fatigued most of the time, only once twice a year had i enough energy to function somewhat normally. This was during my teen years.

Today, i'm out of bed in the morning in no time, like a rabbit jumping out of bed. My eyes are wide open and shiny, not constantly half shut and tired anymore.

So if you wanted a success story, here it is.
However, my journey is still far from over, my detox journey is over when i say it is.
It is over when i feel like an athlete, like a superhuman, like all humans are supposed to feel like without any exercise efforts!

That is my standards, and what i reach for.
I'm cured in full when i am there as described, and i will get there!

Until then, i'm able to function well already and enjoy life with only small challanges still.

What about IR saunas for you? Is that too dangerous in your condition also?
I don't dare try IR saunas because i'm afraid to stir up too much at one time, also i don't want to stir up deep stored toxins at first.

However, IR saunas are at lower temperatures, but as i said, penetrates deeper.

Do you squat btw?
That is a number one sure path to ridding your body of toxins in general!

I'm pretty sure, that had i not started squatting, i would still be loaded up to my throat in toxins.

I would start squatting if i were you to take the edge of your stored toxins, and then maybe after some time, your POTS will decrease or vanish after a year or so.

Then you could maybe continue to the next level with heat or chelators if you wanted to. Just a thought.

What squatting has done for me in general is undescribable!
Where would i be without it.... I don't even dare speculate.

Good luck finding your path again, I wish you to succeed!
