RE: [CFS-FMS_FIRST-Aid] Newbie researching far infrared saunas

I purchased a FIR Infrared Sauna, portable type from YCY Health and it does
not heat right. I got 80 degrees after a 5 minute pre heat at the middle
setting and at the highest setting for 15 minutes it only got to 100. The
company says it may be a transistor and I have opened to control panel and
photographed the circuits for their tech to try to figure out the problem. I
am disgusted that a new product does not work and further that they are
suggesting that they may need to send a new transistor that I must solder
into the unit. I do not have an iron and I am not happy that there is no
local support.



I will keep you posted.

I too have FMS, very bad and Lyme disease. I need the promised relief for
Pain that all the literature says this sauna can bring me. I live in an
apartment and considered this small portable unit my only alternative for
this type of care.



I sure would like to hear from someone who has used one. And if anyone has
had similar defects, I would like to know how the problem was corrected.



Today, I saw my MRI or my neck and the disc at C 5 - 6 is compressing my
spinal cord. Thus we now know why my upper back and neck to shoulder pain
has gotten so much worse. It is a degenerative disc problem and there are
more but this one is the one causing the problems right now. I am schedules
for an epidural under fluorescents on Thursday. Anyone, can you tell me if
this procedure has helped you. What is the recovery time after the
injection?





Shalom, Brenda W

we have just recieved our far infra red sauna.
i am hoping to use it for treatment for fibromyalgia
it hasn't been put together yet so i cant tell you how
it is but i can tell you that we got a good price from
www.wellness-online.ag (approx 1,200euro inc delivery)
they are an austrian company and after much research
they seemed best value
if you in europe or the UK ireland check them out!
they also advertise on e-bay

i will keep this group posted on any health benefits
from the Fir Sauna.
