“The most important change in my opinion is that patients who were unable to sweat before are now beginning to sweat. They can now use their skin as a vehicle to detoxify their bodies.”
Dr. Alison Bested, MD – 2005. Fibromyalgia Specialist, and SaunaRay User.

Dr. Bested was on the medical research committee that defined the set of symptoms that today is known as Fibromyalgia. She has used a SaunaRay far infrared sauna in her practice for years and is among the most experienced physicians in using this treatment to ameliorate chronic pain and chronic fatigue syndromes caused by toxic overload.

Her notable work is documented in her new book in which she recognizes SaunaRay for our efforts to make a toxin free unit for people with chemical sensitivities.

“This company specifically manufactures infrared saunas with materials friendly to Chemically Sensitive, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia patients.”

From, Hope and Help for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia (2006).

Among the many success stories for Fibromyalgia with SaunaRay customers, perhaps the greatest is Darryl Nie of Stoney Creek, Ont.

“The shooting pains down my arms were so bad that most days I couldn’t lift the phone,” says Nie. He was so debilitated he had to retire early from his job as a photo-copy repairman.

“Breathing in all those photo-copy chemicals my whole career is probably half of what’s wrong with me,” said Nie. “My doctors started telling me I needed to detoxify if I’m ever going to get better.”

He suffered from Fibromyalgia for years before he found relief in a SaunaRay, and it was a long and painful road.

Nie first purchased a hot tub because one of the symptoms of his Fibromyalgia is a perpetual feeling of being cold. But the hot tub did not relieve his pain. He then purchased a discount sauna imported from China but still no relief. “The main problem with the Chinese built sauna was that it kept breaking down,” says Nie. “I also learned the wood gets gassed with insecticides when it’s shipped overseas, and the heaters can have toxic materials in them. It was actually adding to my toxic burden.”

Finally he installed a Canadian Made medical-grade sauna built by SaunaRay Inc. and his pain began to subside.

“This SaunaRay unit is like an oasis for me,” says Nie, breathing a sigh of relief. “After years and years of pain and feeling cold all the time and hardly sleeping through the nights, I finally feel good for at least part of the day.”

SaunaRay manufactures Canada’s only medical grade sauna and has had tremendous success with patients trying to relieve the symptoms of Fibromyalgia - a syndrome including debilitating pain, chronic fatigue and chemical sensitivities.

The increasing occurrence of Fibromyalgia remains baffling to medical doctors who are searching for ways to effectively relieve the symptoms of desperate patients. The doctors who are developing specialties in this area are increasingly turning to SaunaRay.

Doctors like Alison Bested were able to do some of their pioneering work with detoxifying Fibromyalgia patients because SaunaRay pioneered medical grade saunas in Canada.

“This company specifically manufactures infrared saunas with materials friendly to chemically sensitive, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia patients,” writes Dr. Bested who uses a SaunaRay unit in her medical practice in Toronto.

Low-heat sauna therapy is becoming an important treatment method for Fibromyalgia because it allows the patient to remove toxic build up in the body’s fat cells. For Darryl Nie finding a true medical-grade product has finally offered a glimmer of hope for his chronic pain inflicted by the Fibromyaglia. “I felt I was getting tricked all time by using hot tubs and cheap discount Chinese made products to get better,” says Nie.

“It turns out the answer to all my pains was right here in Ontario all the time.”
