Use of the Hubbard Sauna Detoxification Regimen to Improve the Health Status of New York City Rescue Workers Exposed to Toxicants

Sauna Detoxification

The method of detoxification developed by Mr. Hubbard is a precise protocol documented for mobilizing fatstored toxins and enhancing their elimination while restoring metabolic alance. The protocol has long been established as safe.⁴⁵ Previous case reports,^39,51 as well as a number of nonrandomized, controlled studies of exposed workers (including firefighters),²¹ demonstrate that detoxification reduces body burdens of PCBs, PBBs, dioxins, various drugs, and pesticides^44,46 with concurrent symptomatic improvement.44,20,22 Publications over the past two decades also show that this regimen can improve memory, cognitive functions, immune parameters, and general physical condition in different study populations.^44,46
