I've gotten really into infrared since a successful fight with cancer. A good (non sales) link explaining this is www.saunahealing.com
Such a small world, I have been struggling with severe eximia for the last 4 years. I purchased an infrared sauna 4 months ago and already am making more progress than I did the last 4 years. So I'd like to contribute another good "non-sales" link if you need a 5 minute buyers guide is http://www.saunabuyersguide.info , it gave me a good idea of what to buy.
Tim Davids has a lot of great articles on infrared saunas and detoxing. He referenced a Coastal Sauna in one of his articles but I'm not sure if he uses those in his practice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.156.82 (talk) 03:00, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
I'd like to add this link to the infrared saunas page, and want to show it to you all first for approval/discussion. It is educational, and is not covered within the wiki page, so I feel it is a valid link: http://www.saunaandspascene.com/infraredsaunasprebuilt.html I feel it should be linked as How to setup your own infrared sauna at home

OK in the absence of any feedback to the negative I'm adding the link now
I feel that the external link on this page is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt at self-promotion, and is not in keeping with standard wiki guidelines of non-commercialism.
The list of companies on the main page is nearly just as bad, in my opinion.
Let's keep Wikipedia non-commercial. What do you say?
The external link in question is educational and useful to people interested in infrared saunas. Also, the info in the article is not in the wiki article. The whole site in question is an info based site and not a sales site - the site hosting the article isn't directly selling any products. It seems to be within wiki guidelines.
The list of manufacturers within the wiki article does seem like a sales promo.
You guys are unhelpful. I am trying to find and buy one and you don't want anyone promoting their business. The presumption is people are too stupid to weed out the good from the bad. Does that make wikipedia readers numbskulls? For heaven's sake.. now I have to go look for the SAME LIST you deleted on google. Thanks, guys. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.59.50.214 (talk) 01:47, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Has anyone researched health hazards of infrared saunas related to the eyes/testicles? If in fact infrared heats to depths beyond 1 1/2 inches, what are the effects of heating our eyes/testicles?65.102.96.125 (talk) 04:14, 15 December 2007 (UTC)dd
none that I know of, however it is generally understood that prolonged time in any "heated" environment can lower a mans testosterone production, at least temporarily.
What about people afflicted with various types of melanoma? Does infrared wavelengths cause or have any impact on skin cancers? 14 April 2008
IMO this article needs work. For example, there is a reference to "researchers at the Mayo Clinic..." but the reference link only takes you to the page on The Mayo Clinic! I'd like to take some comfort that the evidence of reduction of "toxins" by infrared heat has objective evidence behind it. Also, there is no evidence I am aware of that manmade toxins are any different than "natural" toxins. You can poison yourself just as easily with both, as was well known since the dawn of humankindPeter Frishauf (talk) 17:12, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Agreed - this article is mostly new age garbage, the usual unsubstantiated claims about "removing toxins from the body." Also look at the image, they term far-infrared the "light of life!" The majority of this article is obviously commercial, I agree with the comments above. Unless someone can produce a real citation of a scientific study backing any of this up, I suggest the article be scaled back to a conceptual outline of the technology. Cophus (talk) 28 Nov 2008

Re my revert , I thought that some of the other editors had commented when removing the same and similar information. Sadly, I'm the only editor making any comments in the edit summaries. --Ronz (talk) 20:
