I am also a Multiple Myeloma patient in remission. I am thinking about purchasing an Infrared sauna as I have heard that those saunas have added benefits similar to regular saunas. Can you let me know your thoughts about this.
ReplyHi Brian-
I am not aware of any benefits of one type of sauna over another. Or I should say that there are pros and cons for each type of sauna. When people ask me about sauna as a complimentary therapy I tell them what the research says- that there are heavy metals in sweat and than increasing the human internal body temperature kill MM stem cells.
Good luck,
David Emerson
ReplyHey Brian, I bought my mother with MM a sauna from Sunlighten with 3 levels of infrared and red light back in August.
Her bloodwork came back yesterday as normal range for everything she hasn’t seen that in a while.
There are additional benefits to infrared as well.
ReplyHi David,
I was just diagnosed with MGUS with Free Kappa Light Chain at 2.8 (.3-2). With no M-spike on protein electrophoresis. Is there anything I can do to stop it from progressing. I’m currently have muscle twitching all over but has been diagnosed as BFS. Any info you could shafe is appreciated.
Hi Stefan-
By now you have received the Pre-MM course. We will discuss these therapies as well as you diagnostic info when we talk.
thanks,
David Emerson
ReplyI have MM and have decided I am going to try to cure myself using the Metabolic Theory of Cancer. I do not have access to drugs like phenylbutarate or 2-DG or DON. I will try to use a reduced calorie KD and fenbendazole and BHB to control my MM. I am interested in hyper thermal therapy and cold showers to add to the mix of my custom MM protocol. If you could give me a few words of wisdom it would be appreciated. Thanks, mike

ReplyIm on chemo, wandered if a sauna would help my multiple myeloma.
ReplyHi Connie- According to research, whole-body hyperthermia (sauna) increases the efficacy of proteasome inhibitors (Velcade) and kills MM stem cells. Important to detox as well.

ReplyHello David, my wife is preparing for a bone marrow transplant in her MM journey. We are considering purchasing a sauna. Is there any difference in the benefit between traditional vs infrared for MM therapy?
ReplyHi Brett-
According to the research that I have read on the issue of whole-body hyperthermia and MM, the issue is to raise the internal body temperature. How you do this- bath, heated blanket, Finnish sauna, infra-red sauna, all make no difference.
I wish you and your wife the best of luck going forward. And hang in there,

ReplyHi Terri-
When you say “spa with water” I believe you are referring to a hot tub? My understanding of the studies is that the key is to increase the
body’s internal temperature. This is what causes sweat (detox), mm stem cell apoptosis, lower BP, etc.

ReplyGreeting Mr David. And thanks for the valuble info.
Can i ask what do you mean by 200 degrees fahrenheit?
The place temprature?
I think that is like beeing in a medium heat oven 😅
Hi Hind-
200 degrees Fahrenheit is the heat in the sauna were I took my sauna. I can’t speak for the temperature setting for all saunas.
ReplyHi Riana,
According to research, portable home saunas, (infrared heat) provide the same benefit, the same whole-body hyperthermia as Finnish saunas do.

ReplyI have just been diagnosed with MGUS from my Kappa Light Chain, Free, Serum reading of 23.8 (range 3.3-19.4). I was wondering what your opinion on sauna use being helpful to possibly prevent the onset of MM? I have the same question pertaining to sitting in a hot tub (spa). Congratulations on being in submission for so many years, especially in light of what the medical literature states as the 5 year survival rate.
ReplyHi Richard,
I sent a reply directly to your email address.

ReplyHello David. Would you please send me a reply to my email as well on the topic of using a sauna and what’s best, traditional vs infrared, and if using a hot tub is ok for MM patients? Thanks

ReplyHi Astrid-
When I refer to anti-mm nutrition I am talking about two types of nutrition. First, as you may have read in the press, there are foods that are “cleaner” than others. Think reducing sugar, animal fats, more fruits and veggies, etc. Secondly, there are foods that studies have shown are cause apoptosis in MM. Two of the non-toxic therapies that I follow daily, weekly, etc. are whole body hyperthermia and anti-MM nutrition. Anti-MM nutrition, bone health, and mind-body therapies too. Again, all supported by research.
Have you been diagnosed with MM? If so, what stage? Any symptoms such as bone pain, fatigue or kidney failure?
