It is sad, but true, that most people in modern societies experience degenerative disease in their lifetime. Approximately 65% of the population develops heart disease in their lifetime, 40% develop cancer, 30% develop diabetes, and approximately 20% develop kidney or liver disease in their lifetime.
What causes this? There is strong evidence that 85-95% of these diseases are the result of thousands of man-made chemicals that we are exposed to. We live in a toxic world! Toxins in a cell can interfere with the cell’s ability to reproduce a healthy cell. There are trillions of cells in the body, and billions die off everyday. If cells contain toxins, they cannot reproduce healthy cells, but rather damaged or degenerated cells and the result can be the beginning of a disease process.
As you know, degenerative disease is NOT contagious. There have been epidemics of contagious disease throughout human history. However, there has NEVER been an epidemic of degenerative disease before in human history! In modern industrialized societies, people are deconditioning and degenerating, and the result is an epidemic of degenerative disease.
The SOLUTION is reconditioning and regenerating your body. Since the beginning of human history, people have eaten a natural diet of unprocessed food, and done manual labor to survive. Manual labor keeps muscles and joints conditioned, and also causes
perspiration. After the industrial revolution in the 1800’s, machinery replaced manual labor and people have become deconditioned and weak, and perspiration is minimal. The five channels of elimination are the lungs, kidneys, bowel, liver and the skin. The skin is the LARGEST organ of the body, and a vital channel of elimination to cleanse the body. That is why the skin has been referred to as the “third kidney”.
Since the beginning of recorded history, people have used heat to cleanse the body. Egyptians and Romans used steam baths. Native Americans had “sweat lodges.” Asians, Russians, and Europeans have used Saunas. Hippocrates, the “father of modern medicine,” taught that if you raise the body core temperature you can prevent and cure many diseases.
Remember, degenerative diseases are not mysterious. They are not contagious and they do not fall out of the sky and hit you on the head, and one day you wake up with heart disease or cancer. Degenerative diseases usually take 20 to 30 years or more to develop to the point of disease symptoms, and the diagnoses of a disease label. It is this 20 to 30 year development process that we want to halt and arrest. This is where your focus and attention should be. We shouldn’t bury our head in the sand, and hope we are going to escape the epidemic. Chances are you will not if you look at the statistics.
We must get informed, get educated, roll up our sleeves and do something about it. Look at the time and money people invest looking after their home, their vehicles, their investments, their “toys” etc... However, what are YOU worth? You are infinitely more important than your home, or your vehicle, or your investments. We don’t live in our home or our vehicle. We live in our body! Learning about how it works, and what sort of care and maintenance it needs is essential.
It is not complicated. It is simple! The body and mind must be reconditioned and regenerated daily to prevent deconditioning and degeneration! How can you do this? Empirical and scientific evidence both agree... healthy diet, physical exercise, perspiration, and proper mental outlook are the only way.
This understanding and wisdom has been known, proven and practiced for thousands of years. However, it is even more important to practice these simple techniques today, because of the toxic, sedentary and stressful environment of modern society.
Remember, in non-industrialized societies today, degenerative disease is rare. Modern society has created degenerative disease because we have gotten away from our roots, and a healthy natural lifestyle.
Here is a handy acronym to help you remember the 5 principles of a healthy, natural, cleansing lifestyle.

The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.
~Thomas Edison
“A sauna used to be thought of as a luxury. However, studies now confirm that diet and environmental chemicals cause 95% of cancers. Furthermore, as the first generation of man exposed to such an unprecedented plethora of daily chemicals, we have learned that stored or undetoxified chemicals can mimic any disease. ‘Incurable’ chronic diseases that were thought to have no known cause often disappear once toxic chemicals are gone. Since the far infrared sauna is the safest, most efficacious and economical way of depurating stored toxins, this makes it a household necessity.”
- Dr. Sherry A. Rogers, MD
Far infrared heat is the healthiest type of heat there is. The far infrared sauna has comfortable low heat and 300% more detoxification benefit than a traditional sauna. It is truly Natures’ warmth and light!
Let your food be your medicine and your medicine your food...
There is a healing power inherent in nature. ~Hippocrates
The skin is the LARGEST organ of the body, and a vital channel of elimination to cleanse the body, just as the kidneys, liver, bowel and lungs are. That is why the skin has been referred to as the “third kidney.”
