Re: Anyone Else having these Far Infrared Side Effects
Yes, I have seen a GI specialist. He was unable to determine what the issue was. He suggested that I do an endoscopy. Anyway, in the meantime, I talked to
Andreas Moritz who said that my lymph nodes may be overloaded from detoxing and that I should stop eating animal protein. I did and I feel a lot better! Almost immediately (within a day or two), my muscles didn't wear down as quickly with exertion. I have noticed that the bloated pressure has gone away and only returns when I eat concentrated protein (i.e. a lot of nuts or probably animal protein...though I haven't had any in a while).
So, I don't know if my lymph nodes were overloaded or not b/c I have had people who know lymphedema look at me and say that it didn't appear as if I have lymphedema. However, Dr. Mortiz was right that I clearly was having difficulty digesting animal proteins. I may have had that difficulty before using the sauna but certainly not to the extent that I had almost immediately after the sauna. Either the sauna or a
Colon Cleanse (which I doubt it was the colon cleanse) caused me to have trouble digesting animal proteins. I have lost some weight (i.e. 10lbs in 3 weeks), but I am not back to where I was before the sauna.
One theory that I have seen online is that the sauna depletes you of minerals and minerals are needed to make stomach acid etc. The lack of minerals could have caused inadequate stomach acid and thus my problems. All I know is that I feel a lot better, my energy is improved, and I can exercise more (it has been 3 weeks since I stopped eating animal protein). I still am not back to the weight that I should be at but things seem to be improving for now.
