  • Request for FTC Enforcement Regarding False COVID-19 Disease
    July 21, 2020 VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL The Honorable Joseph J. Simons, Chairman The Honorable Rohit Chopra, Commissioner The Honorable Joshua Phillips, Commissioner The Honorable Rebecca Slaughter, Commissioner The Honorable Christine Wilson, Commissioner Federal Trade Commission 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20580 Re: Request for Enforcement Regarding False COVID-19 Claims by Mercola Group Dear Chairman Simons and Commissioners Chopra, Phillips, Slaughter, and Wilson: Justice Catalyst Law (“JCL”),1 the Center for Science in the Public Interest (“CSPI”),2 and People’s Parity Project (“PPP”)3 write to urge the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) to bring enforcement proceedings against Joseph Mercola, D.O. (“Dr. Mercola”) and his companies (collectively, “Mercola Group”) for false, misleading, and deceptive claims and advertising of products they falsely claim will treat, cure, or prevent COVID-19 infections. We are also sending a similar letter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) today. As we set forth in detail below, Mercola Group has been capitalizing on the coronavirus pandemic by advising consumers to purchase vitamins, supplements, and other products sold on its website to prevent or treat the virus. Mercola Group’s website contains many misleading articles, such as “Nutrition and Natural Strategies Offer Hope Against COVID-19,”4 and a “Coronavirus Resource Guide” compiling various unsubstantiated claims about the COVID- fighting properties of various supplements.5 It also offers “medical” advice, including the extraordinarily dangerous and unsubstantiated recommendation that individuals actually try to contract COVID-19 after using the supplements it sells to ameliorate the symptoms.6 Mercola Group and Dr. Mercola make multiple deceptive and unsubstantiated claims in marketing supplements and other products.

Carefully and thoroughly read this manual before using the sauna. We recommend keeping this manual for regular review and future reference. 1 WHAT ARE INFRARED RAYS? Infrared is the band of light we perceive as heat. We cannot see this band of light with the naked eye, but we can feel this type of light in the form of heat. Our sun produces most of its energy output in the infrared segment of the spectrum. Infrared rays heat your body without having to heat the air in-between. This process is called conversion. The infrared is divided into 3 segments by wavelengths measured in microns: near infrared: 0.76-1.5 microns; middle infrared: 1.5-5.6 microns; and far infrared: 5.6-1000 microns. Among these segments, only far infrared penetrates organic substances such as the human body two to three inches so that the warming effect is very uniform. ARE INFRARED RAYS SAFE? Because infrared rays are part of sunlight, they are not only safe but also highly beneficial to our bodies on a cellular level. Health professionals have used infrared heat lamps for decades to treat muscle and joint problems. In hospital baby care units, incubators are often equipped with infrared heating systems to keep newborn babies warm.

  • Detoxification Protocol
    Dr. Joel Cone/Dr. Alexis Dobson www.diagnosticnaturalmedicine.com (512) 577-7234 Detoxification Protocol Periodic detoxification makes sense in keeping your body as fine tuned and healthy as possible. We know many disease states, including heart disease, cancer, and chronic inflammatory disease states have a strong correlation with diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors. There are many different cleanse ideas, but if we start with the knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the body we can make the best approach to a detoxification process possible. We know that there are several systems by which toxins and waste products are eliminated through the body. By having knowledge of these systems we can increase our ability to aggressively detoxify our body. There are four major detoxification systems our body uses. The first is the respiratory system which eliminates gaseous waste products such as carbon dioxide, a waste by product of glucose metabolism. Another system is the integumentary system, in which lactic acid and various other wastes are removed. We also use the digestive system, especially the hepatobiliary system to remove some cholesterol, bile secretions, and other toxins bound in bile. The liver is also the primary congugator of metabolic toxins into water soluble products which can be sent to the kidney for removal. The remaining system is the renal system, in which the kidney removed nitrogenous wastes, including urea, ammonia, creatinine, and other drug metabolites from the body. I have also added the lymphatic and circulatory system as an elimination component, as they play a crucial role in the mobilization of compounds that need to be removed from the body.

Tis paper aims to systematically review recent research on the efects of repeated dry sauna interventions on human health. Methods. A systematic search was made of medical databases for studies reporting on the health efects of regular dry sauna bathing on humans from 2000 onwards. Risk of bias was assessed according to the Cochrane Collaboration guidelines. Results. Forty clinical studies involving a total of 3855 participants met the inclusion criteria. Only 13 studies were randomized controlled trials and most studies were small (� < 40). Reported outcome measures were heterogeneous with most studies reporting benefcial health efects. Only one small study (� = 10) reported an adverse health outcome of disrupted male spermatogenesis, demonstrated to be reversible when ceasing sauna activity. Conclusions.

  • Healing Power of Infrared Saunas
    1 A Little History The health advantages of saunas are not a contemporary discovery. Historical confirmation and reports show that the Finns constructed the first wooden saunas over 2000 years ago. The primitive or first saunas were dug into a hill or mound. As tools and methods progressed, they were constructed above ground utilizing wooden logs. Rocks were heated in a stone fireplace with a wood fire. The smoke from the fire encompassed the room as the air warmed. As soon as the temperature reached preferred intensity, the smoke was permitted to clear and the patrons entered. The wood smoke scent still remained and was part of the healing ritual. This particular form of traditional smoke sauna was referred to as a savu, which translates into, “smoke” in Finnish. Sauna Evolution In time, the sauna developed where it utilized a metal woodstove, or kiuas (ke-wus), with a chimney. The temperature within the sauna was around 180 degrees Fahrenheit, but frequently surpassed 200 degrees in a traditional Finnish sauna. Steam vapor, also referred to as loyly (lou-lu), was generated by splashing water on the heated rocks. The steam and high heat triggered the users to perspire, therefore eliminating impurities and toxins from the body. In addition, the Finns also incorporated vihtas (veh-tas) or bunches of birch twigs to lightly smack the skin and generate further stimulation of the pores and cells. The Finnish culture also employed the sauna as a location to cleanse the mind, rejuvenate and refresh the spirit, and get ready the dead for burial. The sauna was a key part of their daily lives and families used it to bath together within the home.

  • The Benefits of Infrared Sauna Therapy & Vibration Machine
    The Benefits of Infrared Sauna Therapy & Vibration Machine (Must be 18 years of age or older to use the Sauna or Vibration Machine) Infrared saunas have proven very effective in reducing the stress response and creating balance in the autonomic nervous system. They improve circulation, help with weight loss, balance blood sugar, and improve detoxification—each of which improves your brain function. Infrared saunas have also been shown to reduce complications and improve cardiac performance in heart disease patients. Regular use of saunas has also been clinically shown to lower blood pressure with regular use, a key factor in heart health. Infrared saunas can also help your brain. In Dr. Mark Hyman book, The UltraMind Solution (www.drhyman.com), the health and resilience of your brain function are directly related to the complexity and variability of your heart rate. What is good for your heart is good for your brain. And since infrared saunas increase the variability and health of your nervous system, that means they are a great way to improve brain function. Saunas and sweat baths have been used by various cultures throughout history to flush out toxins and disease and maintain optimal physical and mental health. Saunas, and particularly infrared saunas, can also play a big role in preventing or reversing cancer. In a 2004 article in the Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, Lawrence Wilson, MD, wrote, “If I were to single out one method to combat cancer, it is the sauna. It assists removal of chemical toxins and heavy metals, increases oxygenation, enhances the immune system, and reduces the radiation burden in the body.” According to the National Cancer Institute, “Hyperthermia (also called thermal therapy or thermotherapy) is a type of cancer treatment in which body tissue is exposed to high temperatures.

A NEW SPA LANGUAGE Healing has fascinated and compelled humankind since ancient times. Today, we have access to a treasure trove of traditional healing systems, as well as cutting-edge discoveries in modern medicine. Science can now prove the efficacy of certain ancient practices, while others, practiced today as they have been for millennia, offer benefits that are without scientific explanation. Many of the world’s ancient healing systems, such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are based on complex theories of the workings of the human body and mind. They incorporate aspects of health unexplored in allopathic medicine, so certain concepts can sound strange to the uninitiated. Talk of chakras and energy can be off-putting when taken out of context. Yet when understood as part of the philosophy behind a traditional healing system, they reveal an intriguing new language for explaining how our bodies work.
