Why Sauna?
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009Eliminating toxins and drug residues from the body has been a core component of our alcohol and drug detoxification and recovery program since opening our doors four years ago.
“What makes Hamilton’s Turning Point different from many detox and rehab programs is its use of daily saunas, combined with hydration and therapeutic use of vitamins and minerals, to help rid the body of toxins and metabolytes that act as a ‘memory’ of the addiction,” explains Dr. Shelly Linehan, a practicing naturopath who assesses each Turning Point client before entering treatment.
“The body naturally stores these residues in fatty tissues. It is important to draw these toxins out so they can be releasedfrom the body to prevent new physical craving. This greatly enhances the prospect of a sustainable long-term recovery.”
As part of Turning Point’s vitamin/mineral supplementation protocol, each client takes daily doses of niacin, which causes capillaries in the body to dilate. “This increases blood flow in the body’s tiniest blood vessels, allowing toxins to be removed from fatty stores rapidly for processing and elimination from the body,” says Dr. Linehan.
The process has produced startling and dramatic results, notes Turning Point founder John Vereecke. “I know from personal experience that it virtually wipes out cravings. It also produces an enhanced sense of well being, and our tests show that IQ increases as a result of the cleansing process.”
