Re: hello from a 2/4 doc

[/quote] I'm impressed. That's very creative! [/quote] A neighbor and I were talking about it and she laughed and said, "Yeah, where we live an inipi (sweat lodge) is easier to find than a sauna!" We both laughed because it is true. It is just a lot more labor intensive to fire up an inipi...

Re: hello from a 2/4 doc

Yep, I converted a 2.5'x4' basement shower to a near infrared sauna, using four 250 W heat lamps. Your post really got me thinking how I could make a sauna space. I lucked upon a 4 lamp array already made and have tried a few variations on how to use it without much satisfaction. I only have one ba...

Re: Considering statin for high CRP amidst good cardio labs

On the more concerning side, I heard that statins cause insulin resistance. I haven't yet looked into this. Do all forms do this?

Re: Embracing the ApoE Wild Type Cuisinart: The Mortar and Pestle
