What about Saunas?

What about Saunas?

I have been told to try the use of a sauna 3x a week to raise core body temp and sweat, sweat, sweat to help kill off lyme bacteria.
Supposed to help with lymps and detox.
Does anyone do this? Would like to get your input and opinion before i start anything new.

I haven't heard here from anyone who uses sauna, but it might be worth trying.  

Body temp control gets messed up by Lyme in some people, and I was one who had a temp constantly in the 96 degree range for a long time, partly because my thyroid wasnt' working.  Whether Lyme affected my thyroid, I don't know for sure, but I have read that it affects the endocrine system.

Since the bugs seem to like the thermostat low, raising body temp via sauna might fry the little beggars!  Wouldn't that be sweet revenge?

Let us know how you do.
