First off, no one should even think about doing something like the Hubbard Protocol without the supervision of a doctor. Biweekly check-ins are necessary for a number of different reasons and blood work and any other nutritional needs are assessed. <Crunchy Chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612320939936593420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-74966181938991799522011-01-12T23:00:24.740-08:002011-01-12T23:00:24.740-08:00I am with Aimee on this one.

That is potentially lethal at worst and dangerous at best.<br /><br />4 hours can kill people.<br /><br />Perhaps the "protocol" calls for four hours in a lower temperature sauna? Not sure, but go to any gym sauna and you are looking at very high heat.<br /><br />Please don't encourage people to spend four hours in a sauna. <br /><Buckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885809053657026847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-7896536670728664122011-01-12T22:08:09.683-08:002011-01-12T22:08:09.683-08:00every sauna has a warning sign in it: not to excee...every sauna has a warning sign in it: not to exceed thirty minutes. This is for good reason - extended time at those temperatures is known to increase the risk of immediate heart attack for people with cardiac disease. You say you want the treatments in your book to be accessible to your readers - I'm sure that also means you don't want to recommend anything potentially lethal.Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358194304460170717noreply@blogger.com
