Why the TheraPro is the Ultimate All-in-One Healing Pad

Why the TheraPro is the Ultimate All-in-One Healing Pad

One of the most common questions we get is, “What’s the difference between the Tri-Lite and the TheraPro?” It’s a great question, as both are powerful light therapy devices. The Tri-Lite has become a beloved tool for its incredible portability and simplicity. But for those seeking the next level of comprehensive, multi-modality therapy at home, the TheraPro is the answer.

The choice is simple: The Tri-Lite is your ultimate portable partner. The TheraPro is your ultimate home clinic.

This blog post will explore the unique benefits of each, so you can confidently decide which one is right for your health journey.

The Tri-Lite: Unmatched Portability & Simplicity

The Tri-Lite's specialized LED panel is a marvel of engineering, delivering three key healing wavelengths (one red at 663nm, and two near-infrared at 840nm and 980nm).

Its greatest strength is its accessibility. It’s flexible, extremely lightweight, and powered by a simple USB. This means you can plug it into a portable battery pack and use it literally anywhere: in the car, on a plane, or even while camping off the grid. It’s a simple, on/off device that delivers its powerful frequencies with one-touch ease.

The TheraPro: The 6-in-1 Healing Powerhouse

The TheraPro is the all-in-one workhorse. It was originally developed for athletes, but it quickly became a favorite for anyone who wants a single device to do just about everything. While it needs to be plugged in, it offers an incredible six different healing interventions in one pad, all of which can be customized from its advanced controller.

You can choose to use any intervention individually, or combine them all for the ultimate therapeutic session.

The TheraPro’s 6 Interventions:

1. Full Spectrum Infrared: Delivers the complete range of infrared wavelengths (near, mid, and far) to warm the body from the inside out, improving circulation and promoting detoxification.

2. Red Light (663nm): This is the same powerful 663nm wavelength found in the Tri-Lite, known for its ability to support skin health and cellular energy production.

3. PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field): This technology sends safe, natural magnetic pulses into the body that are identical to the frequencies found in nature. It’s like a “cellular battery charger,” helping to reduce pain, improve circulation, and accelerate recovery.

4. TENS (Microcurrent): This is a targeted tool for muscle relief. It sends gentle electrical pulses into the muscle, causing it to contract and release. This action helps to break up deep-seated tension, release knots, and increase local blood flow.

5. Five Gemstones: The pad contains Jade, Tourmaline, Amethyst, Shungite, and Rose Quartz. These stones are warmed to generate healing frequencies and are a powerful source of...

6. Negative Ions: The heated gemstones flood your body with negative ions, the same invisible molecules you find by a waterfall or a rushing river. Negative ions are known to help calm the nervous system, improve cellular communication, and combat oxidative stress.

How to Choose the Right TheraPro Size

The TheraPro comes in two sizes so you can choose the coverage that fits your needs.

Regular

Great for everyday, targeted therapy. Perfect for the lower back, abdomen, neck, shoulders, or knees. It delivers the full 6-in-1 experience in a versatile size that fits most areas comfortably.

Large

Designed for maximum coverage. Ideal for full-back sessions or treating larger areas in less time. A favorite for deeper, more immersive therapy or for users who want the most efficient 'home clinic' setup.

CRITICAL: Safety and Contraindications

Your safety is our highest priority. Because the TheraPro is a powerful device combining PEMF and TENS, there are important contraindications to be aware of.

DO NOT USE THE THERAPRO IF YOU HAVE A PACEMAKER or any other implanted electronic device (such as a cochlear implant or insulin pump).

Please also consult your doctor before use if you are:

• Pregnant

• Have epilepsy

• Are sensitive to electrical or magnetic frequencies

The TENS and PEMF functions are designed to increase blood flow and stimulate nerves. Do not use them over the carotid sinus (on the front of your neck), over broken skin, or if you have a history of blood clots, as the therapy could be dangerous.

The Final Verdict: Portability or Power?

The choice between these two incredible devices comes down to your lifestyle.

• Choose the Tri-Lite if: Your primary need is portability. You travel frequently, you're on the go, and you want a simple, effective light therapy device you can throw in your bag and use anywhere.

• Choose the TheraPro if: You want a comprehensive home clinic. You want the power of six different therapies, the flexibility to target specific issues (like muscle tension with TENS or cellular energy with PEMF), and the desire to have the ultimate all-in-one wellness tool.

Meet the TheraPlex

What if you could do more than just mask pain or wait for an injury to heal? What if you could speak your body’s native language, electricity and light, to accelerate recovery from the inside out? For years, this question has driven the world of advanced wellness. Now, the answer is here.

Introducing TheraPlex, a groundbreaking system born from a chance meeting, a bold idea, and a simple napkin sketch. It’s a story about how two powerful technologies were married to create something entirely new, offering a level of personalized healing that was once the stuff of science fiction. This isn’t just a new device; it’s a new way to listen to your body and give it exactly what it needs to thrive.

The "What If?" Moment: A Serendipitous Meeting

Every great innovation begins with a "what if." For Therasage founder Robby Besner, the question was: What if my Tri-Lite™ LED panel could do more than just deliver light? What if it could also become a delivery system for other healing frequencies?

He was fascinated by the work of Avazzia, a company renowned for its advanced microcurrent devices. These handheld units send tiny, therapeutic electrical currents into the body to stimulate healing. Robby envisioned combining his flexible, full-body light panel with their precise frequency generation.

He scheduled a meeting at Avazzia's headquarters. As serendipity would have it, Tim Smith, the company's owner and the former senior engineer for Texas Instruments who designed chips for the first satellites, walked into the room. After Robby shared his concept, Tim met him in the parking lot, away from the boardroom. Intrigued, he grabbed a napkin and sketched a design for an interface that could connect his device to Robby's.

That napkin sketch was the birth of TheraPlex.

Deconstructing the Magic: What Are the Two Technologies?

To understand why TheraPlex is so revolutionary, you need to understand its two core components. Each is a powerhouse on its own. Together, they create a healing symphony.

Part 1: The Tri-Lite™ - Your Versatile Light Therapy Panel

The TheraPlex system starts with our well-known and loved Tri-Lite. It’s a flexible panel that emits the healing wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. This isn't just any light; it's a specific kind of light that penetrates deep into your tissues to:

• Reduce inflammation and pain.
• Boost cellular energy (ATP production).
• Improve blood circulation to bring more oxygen to your cells.
• Accelerate muscle recovery and tissue repair.

Think of it as sunlight's most healing benefits, concentrated and available on demand.

Part 2: Avazzia Microcurrent - Speaking Your Body's Language

The second half of the equation is the Avazzia microcurrent device. Your body is electric. When you decide to lift your arm, your brain sends a tiny electrical signal through your nervous system to your muscle. It's a microcurrent.

Injuries, pain, and inflammation can disrupt these natural electrical signals. The Avazzia device generates gentle microcurrents that mimic your body's own healing language. Unlike a harsh TENS unit that simply blocks pain signals, microcurrent works on a cellular level to:

• Re-educate damaged muscles and nerves.
• Dramatically increase blood flow to injured areas.
• Accelerate the body’s natural repair and regeneration processes.

Imagine a torn muscle that would normally take months to heal. By using microcurrent, you are gently stimulating that muscle, encouraging blood flow and cellular repair, and potentially cutting recovery time down to a fraction of what it would be.

Better Together: How TheraPlex Creates a Healing Symphony

This is where the napkin sketch comes to life. The TheraPlex interface box is the bridge that connects these two worlds.

Here’s how it works in the simplest terms:

1. The Avazzia handheld device generates a specific healing frequency (for pain, recovery, skin rejuvenation, etc.).
2. The TheraPlex interface box takes that frequency.
3. The Tri-Lite panel then delivers that frequency into your body using its light as the carrier wave.

Think of it like a radio. The radio station (the Avazzia device) creates the music (the frequency). The radio tower (the Tri-Lite) broadcasts that music over the airwaves (the light) so your radio (your body) can receive it. You get the profound benefits of red light therapy and the targeted healing instructions of microcurrent, all at the same time, in the same place.

The Future is Here: Healing with Frequencies

This brings us to the most exciting part: the future of medicine is energy.

Everything in nature has a unique frequency. An aspirin has a frequency. Vitamin C has a frequency. Our own healthy cells vibrate at a specific frequency. We can't see or hear most of these frequencies, but they are there. Think of a piece of uranium, it’s not plugged into a wall, but it’s constantly emitting a powerful, measurable frequency.

The TheraPlex system is based on this principle. If your body responds to the frequency of a beneficial compound, you can provide the body with the information it needs to heal itself. You are giving your cells the tools and instructions they need to self-regulate and return to balance.

What Can You Use TheraPlex For?

Because this system combines two versatile technologies, the applications are incredibly broad. While you should always listen to your body, users turn to TheraPlex for a wide range of goals:

• Acute Injury Recovery: Target sprains, strains, and tears to get back in the game faster.
• Chronic Pain Relief: Address persistent back pain, joint stiffness, and old injuries that never quite healed.
• Facial Rejuvenation: The gentle "EZZI-Lift" device increases blood flow and collagen production for a natural facelift.
• Deeper Sleep & Relaxation: Use specific programs designed to calm the nervous system before bed.
• Enhanced Focus: Stimulate circulation and cellular energy to support cognitive function.

A New Philosophy: The Power of "Incremental Health"

In our culture, we’re taught to wait until something is broken to fix it. We push through pain ("no pain, no gain") and ignore our body's signals until they become screams.

TheraPlex invites a different approach: incremental health.

Just like tuning a car, your body needs small, consistent tune-ups to perform at its best. Spending just 10-15 minutes a day with your TheraPlex isn't just for when you're hurt; it's a preventative practice. You are incrementally building resilience, improving cellular health, and optimizing your body's systems. By doing a little bit every day, you build a stronger foundation, so when you do face an injury or illness, your body is far better equipped to bounce back.

This is about taking back control. It’s about quieting the outside noise, listening to the wisdom of your own body, and giving it the support it's asking for.

TherAir

From Rainforest to Your Room: Introducing the TheraAir Technology

In our last post, we did a deep dive into the foundational science of Singlet Oxygen Energy (S.O.E.), what we call “rainforest air.” We explored how this energized oxygen supports your cells and its groundbreaking connection to Nitric Oxide. When we talk about this science, the most common question we receive is, “This is amazing… but how can I actually use it in my daily life?”

It’s a critical question. According to the EPA, people spend up to 90% of their lives indoors, breathing recycled, stagnant air disconnected from the natural energies of the sun and earth [1]. This can leave us feeling fatigued and foggy. Today, we’re answering that question of “how” by introducing the TheraAir product line, the technology that harnesses S.O.E. and brings the purity of the rainforest directly into your home, office, or wherever life takes you.

The Therasage Innovation: Energized Air, Made Simple

For years, creating Singlet Oxygen Energy required large, clunky machines that used water as a carrier. They worked, but they were inefficient. We’ve revolutionized that process.

Our new TheraAir devices use a proprietary catalyst made from a composite of earth materials. We pass air over this catalyst, which is then activated by a specific light frequency, creating a steady stream of Singlet Oxygen Energy, no water needed. It's more efficient, more compact, and more powerful than ever before. For those with breathing challenges who need added humidity, an optional “bubble cup” can be easily added to moisturize the air.

A Deeper Why: How Energized Oxygen Supports You

Before we explore the models, it's important to remember why this technology is so foundational to your health. Energized air works on two core levels:

• It Boosts Cellular Energy: S.O.E. provides a direct source of sun-based energy to your mitochondria, the powerhouses of your cells. When your cells have more energy, your entire body benefits, from a stronger immune system to faster recovery and sharper focus.

• It Rebalances Your Internal Terrain: Most harmful organisms (like bad bacteria and mold) are anaerobic, meaning they thrive in low-oxygen environments. S.O.E. creates an oxygen-rich environment where these pathogens cannot survive, helping to restore balance to your gut and internal systems.

The TheraAir Lineup: Finding the Perfect Fit for Your Life

We have three models, each designed to integrate seamlessly into a specific lifestyle.

1. The TheraAir (Gold Unit): Your Home's Wellness System

This is your home's atmospheric wellness system. About the size of an external hard drive, this ambient device is for the person who wants to create a healing sanctuary.

• A Day in the Life: Imagine plugging it in on your nightstand before bed. As you sleep, it quietly dissipates energized, rainforest air into your room, helping you achieve deeper, more restorative rest. You wake up feeling clearer and more refreshed. During the day, you place it in your home office, where it helps you maintain focus and combat the afternoon brain fog. The TheraAir Gold is the “set it and forget it” solution for passively upgrading your environment 24/7.

2. The TheraAir Plus (Silver Unit): Your Personal, Portable Powerhouse

This is our versatile model for the active individual. It’s the same compact size but has a dedicated port where you can connect a breathing tube or cannula for direct, concentrated inhalation.

• A Day in the Life: You start your morning with a 15-minute direct inhalation session to energize your body for the day. After a hard workout at the gym, you use it again to accelerate muscle recovery. Because it can run on a battery pack, you pack it in your carry-on for a business trip, using it to transform a stale hotel room into a personal wellness space. It's the ultimate tool for both targeted therapy and environmental support.

3. The TheraAir Pro (Blue Unit): The Clinical Grade Choice

This is our clinical grade, tabletop model and the most powerful unit of its kind on the market. It’s a bit larger, housing six powerful catalysts inside, with two dedicated output ports.

• A Day in the Life: As a practitioner, you have two clients receiving therapy simultaneously, each benefiting from the full power of three catalysts, ensuring no drop in flow rate or efficacy. At home, you and your partner can use it at the same time while relaxing in the evening, both receiving a concentrated, high-potency session. This is for the practitioner who needs the best for their clients or the family that wants the pinnacle of S.O.E. technology.

TheraAir at a Glance: A Simple Comparison

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is it noisy? The TheraAir units are whisper-quiet, designed to operate in the background of your home or clinic without being disruptive.

• Does it require cleaning or maintenance? The waterless catalyst system is designed to be virtually maintenance-free, providing a simple and effortless user experience.

• Can I use it with other Therasage products? Absolutely. Using the TheraAir while in your Thera360 sauna is an excellent way to combine therapies, allowing your skin to absorb the S.O.E. as you sweat.

A Critical Note on Usage: Listening To Your Body

This therapy is powerful. Because it is so effective at rebalancing your internal terrain, it's possible to experience a temporary detoxification response, often called a Herxheimer, or “Herx,” reaction [3]. This is not a side effect; it's a sign that your body is cleaning house. If this happens, simply stop the session for the day, drink plenty of water, and start again with a shorter 10 or 20 minute session tomorrow.

The Future is Breathable

We are proud to bring this foundational, nature based technology to you in such a simple, non invasive way. You can take control of the very air you breathe and turn it into a tool for wellness. All you have to do is breathe.

Getting Tested

Beyond the Numbers: Are Your Symptoms More Important Than Your Lab Results?

In the age of biohacking and constant data, it’s easy to believe that the answer to perfect health lies in the next test. We chase the single “root cause,” hoping one blood draw or genetic analysis will give us the magic bullet solution to all our problems. But what if we’re looking in the wrong place?

While testing is a valuable tool, it has become a huge moneymaking event, often positioned as the be all and end all of wellness. The truth is, testing is just one kind of information; it’s not a panacea. The most accurate, real-time data stream you have access to is not an app or a lab report, it’s your own body. The most fundamental question you can ask is: “How is my body expressing itself right now?”

The Power of Listening First

Recently, a friend was texting me, about a persistent twitch in his right eye. The conventional path might be to immediately suggest a battery of tests. But the first question should never be, “Which test do you need?” It should be, “What are your symptoms telling you?”

Diagnostics like MRIs and blood tests are important, but they are only one piece of a much larger puzzle. Without the context provided by your symptoms, they are just numbers on a page. The real story begins with what you are feeling.

Creating Your Health Story: The Long View

One test tells you a fragment of the story, not the whole narrative. The most powerful way to use testing is to build a trendline over time, creating a story of your own health evolution.

Imagine taking a complete blood test analysis and other key markers every couple of years. After four or five years, you have a clear picture. You can see a trend. You might notice your cholesterol levels are slowly creeping up and decide to make lifestyle changes now to avoid a heart condition in your 50s or 60s. This long view transforms testing from a reactive, fearful event into a proactive, empowering tool for prevention.

The Body’s Intricate Balance

To understand why symptoms are so important, we have to appreciate the incredible intelligence of the human body. Your brain acts like a master chemist and a world-class winemaker, all at once.

Every trillionth of a second, it analyzes a sea of information: your blood chemistry, the temperature on your skin, the sounds around you, the light entering your eyes. It processes these trillions of influences and, like a winemaker blending grapes to create a consistent vintage, it constantly adjusts your internal systems. It turns thousands of biological processes on and off, all to maintain a state of perfect balance called homeostasis.

When your body starts sending you a consistent symptom, be it skin issues, fatigue, or acid reflux, it’s a signal that this delicate balance is being disrupted. Think of your health like a seesaw, with your body’s vitality on one side and your toxic load on the other. As you keep adding toxins from our modern environment, the seesaw eventually becomes imbalanced and dips into a negative state. That’s when you become symptomatic. A lab test might confirm the imbalance, but the symptom was the first and most important signal.

A Strategic Guide to Foundational Testing

While listening to your body comes first, certain tests are incredibly valuable for building your long-term health story. The key is to let your symptoms guide which specific tests are most relevant, while using a few foundational tests to track your journey.

• Genetic Testing: This is a one-time test that provides your unique blueprint. It doesn’t change, but it reveals your genetic tendencies. For example, knowing if you have a common MTHFR gene variation can be incredibly valuable, as it suggests your body may have a harder time with detoxification, a crucial piece of information in our toxic world [1].

• Hormone Testing (DUTCH Test): Comprehensive hormone testing is becoming increasingly vital. While once considered more important after 50, we are now seeing significant hormone imbalances in teenagers. This is an epigenetic symptom of our modern world, and a test like the DUTCH Test can provide a clear picture of your hormonal health.

• Blood Testing (with Vitamin D3): A good, full blood count is an essential annual checkup. Make sure to always include a Vitamin D3 panel. Vitamin D acts more like a hormone than a vitamin and is critical for immune function and overall health.

A Final Word of Caution

It’s important to be an informed consumer. The business of testing can be confusing, with different labs using different baselines and some practitioners ordering repetitive tests. See yourself as the owner of your health journey. A test result is a single piece of data. Your daily symptoms, your energy levels, and how you feel are the rest of the story.

The answer isn't in chasing more and more numbers. It's in learning to listen to the profound wisdom your body is sharing with you every single day.

Brains, Delivery, and Heart: The Story of the TheraPlex

It Started With a Question

Today I want to share something truly special with you. It’s called the TheraPlex, and I genuinely believe this is a game-changer for how we approach pain, recovery, and overall wellness.

But this isn't just another gadget. For me, this is personal. My journey into this world didn’t start in a lab or a boardroom. It started in my own home, as a father trying to find real answers for my daughter when conventional options just weren’t enough.

That search taught me something fundamental: our bodies are designed to heal. They speak a language we’ve started to forget – the language of energy, frequency, and light. This is the story of how we learned to listen to that language.

The Origin of TheraPlex: A Story of Two Technologies

To understand the TheraPlex, you first need to understand two foundational pillars of energy medicine.

• Pillar 1: Light Therapy. Think of specific wavelengths of light as a nutrient. Our bodies absorb red and near-infrared light on a cellular level, acting like a charger for our cells' tiny batteries, the mitochondria. This boosts circulation, reduces inflammation, and gives your cells the raw energy they need to repair themselves.

• Pillar 2: Bio-Electric Communication (Microcurrent). Your entire nervous system runs on tiny electrical signals. What if, instead of just blocking pain, we could speak the body’s native language? Using subtle microcurrents to soothe nerves, re-educate muscles, and tell the body exactly where to focus its healing.

For years, these two powerful therapies existed in separate worlds. I knew if we could combine them, we could unlock something special. My search led me to a company called Avazzia and its brilliant owner, Tim Smith. This man was one of the senior minds at Texas Instruments, his factories made the microchips for the satellites orbiting the Earth right now. He understands frequency on a level few others do.

I got a meeting. I shared my vision: to merge the foundational energy of my Therasage Tri-Lite Panel with the targeted communication of their incredible microcurrent devices.

They listened, thanked me, and showed me the door. I honestly thought that was it.

But as I was walking to my car, Tim came rushing out. He said, "I didn't want to talk business up there, but I love this idea." He pulled out a pen, grabbed a napkin, and right there in the parking lot, he scratched out a design for an interface that could connect his device to mine.

That napkin was the beginning. I took it, I ran with it, and the TheraPlex was born.

How TheraPlex Combines Microcurrent and Light Therapy

So, how does this system born from a napkin sketch actually work? It's a team of three parts working in perfect synergy.

1. The Avazzia Microcurrent Handheld: This is the brains of the operation. It generates the precise, adaptive frequencies that speak your body's language.

2. The Tri-Lite Panel: This is your delivery system. It emits both red and near-infrared light that penetrates deep into your tissue to reduce inflammation and charge your cells.

3. The Interface Box: This is the heart of the system. It flawlessly combines the two, infusing the microcurrent signal from the handheld directly into the light panel.

Now, that flexible panel is delivering both the healing power of light AND the targeted instructions of microcurrent, directly to your body, at the same time. You get foundational energy and targeted communication in one session. It’s like putting your healing on fast-forward.

Beyond Recovery: The Philosophy of "Incremental Health"

This technology isn’t just for fixing yourself when you're broken. It’s about a philosophy I call "incremental health."

So many of us wait until the pain becomes a scream before we act. My approach is to listen to the whispers your body sends you every day and act on them preventatively.

• Struggle with chronic pain? Daily use can help the nervous system reset and calm those overactive pain signals.

• Recovering from an injury? You're not just waiting around; you're actively giving your body the energy and instructions to rebuild.

• Interested in skin health? Certain frequencies combined with red light can enhance blood flow and collagen production.

This is about daily maintenance. It’s about being proactive.

Your Body Knows Best

If there’s one message I want to leave you with, it's this: for years, we’ve been taught "no pain, no gain." I’m here to tell you to reject that idea. Your body is not your enemy; it’s your wisest partner. It has a quiet voice, and it always tells you what it needs. The real healing always happens when you learn to be quiet and listen.

The future of medicine is energy. The TheraPlex is more than a product to me; it's the culmination of that philosophy. It's about giving your body the energy it needs, and the instructions to use it.

Infrared Saunas and Cancer Concerns: Deconstructing the Fear

A Difficult, But Necessary, Conversation

We need to have a serious conversation and tackle one of the most common, fear-based questions I hear: Does using an infrared sauna spread cancer?

I get this question all the time, and I want to address it directly, with honesty and with science. When you or a loved one are facing a difficult diagnosis, the last thing you need is more fear. You need clarity.

Before we dive in, my most important piece of advice is always this: listen to your body. Your symptoms are not random; they are a language. How they express themselves should always guide your approach to wellness. With that in mind, let's deconstruct this fear.

Debunking the Myth: Does Infrared Heat Spread Cancer?

Let’s address the argument I hear from critics and concerned customers. The logic goes something like this: “Cancer spreads through metastasizing cells. An infrared sauna increases blood flow. Therefore, using a sauna will spread my cancer faster.”

I’ve heard the paranoia in people’s thinking: “If my cancer is growing, and I increase my blood flow by 15 or 20 percent, am I just going to spread that cancer at a 15 or 20 percent higher rate?”

Let’s be blunt: that is simply not true. It’s based on fuzzy logic. A cell won’t multiply faster than its own biology destines it to multiply. The programming of the cell dictates its replication rate, not the speed of your circulation.

Frankly, I think a lot of this fear is manufactured. When it comes to natural and inexpensive therapies that support the body, there isn't a lot of money to be made. Sometimes, the easiest way to slow the momentum of something that works is to create fear and doubt. My goal is to replace that fear with facts.

What Science Says About Heat Therapy and Cancer

So let’s look at the facts. Far from being a risk, heat is a well-established tool used to fight cancer in clinical settings.

The National Cancer Institute states on its official fact sheet that hyperthermia, or heat therapy, can make cancer cells more sensitive and vulnerable to traditional treatments like radiation and chemotherapy.

So, while the critic’s argument is that heat spreads cancer, the clinical reality is that heat is being used to help destroy it. The increased circulation from a sauna is much like the circulation from light exercise—which studies have shown helps activate the body's own cancer-fighting cells.

A Better Question: The Power of Detoxification

If we shouldn’t be afraid of heat, what should we be focusing on?

For me, the first and most important step for anyone who is unwell is, generally speaking, to start detoxifying. Your body will always function better and feel better if you lower its toxic burden. Why? Because toxicity causes inflammation, and inflammation is what causes symptoms.

So, let's talk about the right way to do it. This has to be a sequential process, and it always depends on the person’s current condition.

A Step-by-Step Protocol for Supporting Detox

Here is the supportive, step-by-step approach I recommend for gently encouraging the body's natural detoxification processes.

1. Start with Binders (If Weak or Stagnant): If a person is very weak, I would start them on a gentle binder, like bentonite clay and charcoal. These act like sponges to soak up the toxins that are already circulating in the body.

2. Encourage Gentle Movement: Your lymphatic system is the "sewer system" of your body, and it only works when you move. Taking a binder to soak up poisons without a way to eliminate them doesn’t help. Gentle movement is key to getting the system flowing.

3. Introduce Infrared Sauna: Once binders are in use and gentle movement is possible, the infrared sauna becomes the perfect tool. The sauna is the exit route. It helps the body get rid of the toxins that have been bound up by promoting a deep, cleansing sweat.

A Crucial Warning: This gentle binding process is very different from aggressive chelation. A harsh chelator can cause your cells to purge toxins all at once. If you pull all those poisons out without a way to get them out of the body immediately, you can just create more toxicity and a bigger burden. It must be a lock-step process: pull, bind, and then get it out.

Our Commitment: Education, Support, and Transparency

I want to be perfectly clear about our role at Therasage. We are here to educate on wellness and how to support the body's incredible, natural functions. We do not treat, cure, or prevent cancer.

This information is designed to help you make informed decisions, but the most important relationship you have is with your own body and your healthcare team. For complex health questions like this, the best thing to do is connect with our specialists. We have a Healthy Hotline on our website, and you can even get in touch with me directly through my Calendly.

We also have to be transparent about contraindications. For certain conditions, like lymphedema, medical experts recommend avoiding saunas. We echo that advice. Always put safety first.

The goal here is to empower you, not to scare you. Listen to your body, work with your trusted practitioners, and focus on supporting your system in every way you can.
