I’d like to explain some differences between the different types of saunas that have evolved over the years, how ion therapy was originally in saunas, and how it has been transitioned out of most sauna designs in use today.

The baby was thrown out with the bathwater with the removal of ion therapy because when you take a sauna you need a way to introduce negative ions.  Otherwise, there becomes an accumulation of poisonous positive ions that can cause fatigue unless you have adequate ventilation provided for in your sauna design.   Continue reading “Sauna Information”

RICHMOND, Va. — The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has overturned a law that requires NC voters to present valid identification, such as a driver’s license, in order to cast a ballot.

The ruling states that the law was enacted with discriminatory intent, citing statistics that African-American voters were disenfranchised by the law, being more likely to lack the proper identification required by the law. Further, the law would reduce votes for Democratic candidates, which African-Americans are statistically more likely to vote for.   Continue reading “4th Circuit Court strikes down NC voter ID law”

The Obama administration announced plans Tuesday to expand a refugee program for Central American children who are fleeing danger, part of a broader effort to stem the unregulated flow of unaccompanied minors across the southern U.S. border.

The State Department program, launched in December 2014 after a massive influx of children that year swamped border patrol stations, allows children from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras to seek protections in the United States by applying within their own country.   Continue reading “U.S. to expand refugee program for Central American minors”

Inflammation, stress, diabetes, and cancer – these are just some of the health conditions that are commonly found today.  Nearly everyone deals with variations of health issues during their lives, whether they are directly affected themselves, or know a friend or family member who suffers.  It does not help that humans continue to contaminate their insides with corrupted food sources. Many people want to try to eat healthy, but pesticides, parasites, bacteria and viruses found among fresh produce, for example, can make otherwise nutritious food harmful.  These contaminants need to be removed from food before human consumption if there is any hope to restore or maintain optimal health.    Continue reading “The common problem with low oxygen.”

Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) sounded irate in a brief phone interview Monday afternoon with Right Turn. His subcommittee, with strong bipartisan support, has already passed legislation to hike military aid to Israel from $3.1 billion to $3.4 billion for 2017. But as has been reported in Israeli papers, the administration — with one more kick in Israel’s shins before President Obama leaves office — has told Israel there will be no increase this year or in a new 10-year memorandum of understanding (MOU). Moreover, the long-standing offshore procurement (OSP) agreement that allows Israel to purchase a significant percentage of its defense equipment from Israeli companies may get nixed or squeezed.   Continue reading “Sen. Lindsey Graham: ‘No time to nickel and dime Israel’”

India’s Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas and the U.S. Geological Survey struck a large, highly enriched deposit of natural gas hydrate — an icy form of the fuel — in the Bay of Bengal off the country’s east coast, potentially the first producible reserve of its kind in the waters, the U.S. agency said in a statement Monday.   Continue reading “India, U.S. Discover Major Natural Gas Reserve in Indian Ocean”
