Saunas / Sweating Is a Simple Signal With Whole-Body Reach
Sweating is one of the body’s oldest cooling systems. In modern life, where comfort is constant and movement is optional, deliberate heat offers a simple way to reintroduce that signal.
Saunas / Sweating Is a Simple Signal With Whole-Body Reach - Full Transcript
hello dr bill actoner is our guest today and my name is phil wilson i have been marketing the relaxed sauna since 2002 and dr grill was gifted a relaxed sauna by his partner who bought 10 to relax on us from us a few years later and he was totally impressed with the relaxed sauna and has joined forces with us and has allowed us to use many of his quotes because when he experienced and relaxed on it he felt it was so different and so unique and so we want to talk to uh dr bill akbar who wrote the book the classic no sweat and if you correct me if i'm wrong once you no sweat and understand it as your teacher and your healer life is no sweat and i hope that's what he meant by it that's what i figured he meant and he'll explain and elaborate how in the world he got this title and how he was led to the relaxed sauna and how he discovered it was special so anyway dr bill take it away it's great to see you all yes likewise it's great this is an amazing coincidence because i came here to dr brimhall's symposium uh january january 2022 to do a lecture and i see our brother phil here with the saunas and i said to my uh my brother dr james i said look at this i said he's hearing me we've been talking about getting together so long so i said look we're zoot suited up so let's sit down let's give a little dissertation on why the saunas are so good now yes it's absolutely true the no sweat concept is is kind of funny but it's so true because so many people tell us well i sweat naturally you know while you're sweating because your body is so toxic and trying to get rid of something that you're not inducing artificially i. e with a sauna
inducing artificially i. e with a sauna so they're carrying around this garbage and their clothing is full of sweat and they're walking around drenched a lot of the time now when you sweat regularly you're producing a state of no sweat because there's no more sweat left because you've gotten the toxic sweat out of your body so this is one of the concepts kind of funny but there is a lot of truth to that and um it's interesting that when i ask a lot of my patients who come in for various challenges you know i'm surprised to find out that a lot of them say i swear normally i sweat a lot but i don't use the sauna and i'm like wow i can't believe that such a strong such a big part of the world still doesn't lose my sweat therapy because if you look at ancient cultures ottoman empire it was called a secret doctor in russia it's called the banya in finland and sweden and the scandinavian countries they construct the sauna first then they build the house around it that is the way it means this is the way it should be and it's such an important component of health yet people do not utilize it and that's the competitive whatever you call them lodges that's another one and then the amazon sweat lodges those are scary pictures got lost in the amazon at one point for a few hours they had a little trouble finding me and they said listen you're lucky because they're still categorized it's been an amazing journey i've been to over 70 maybe 75 countries did a lot of lecturing interface with a lot of doctors and saw this therapy
and saw this therapy being utilized in so many different cultures and yet in the western world it still hasn't caught up other than maybe people doing hot yoga you know they're doing it inadvertently without the intention of doing sweat therapy they're getting sweaty but um that's more more than just sweat it's because you know a regular finish sonic as great as they are from what i understand only about two percent of the sweat is actually toxins and in a far-in - fridge especially relaxed on those as much as 17 18 19 of what comes out is actually toxins and metabolic waste how does one uh explain that to the american people and the world in general um and uh and you know like hippocrates you it's you're the one that introduced me to the quote find me a way to create sweat or a fever and i will cure well cure disease of course we're not allowed to cure anything in the world with beef now but um you know basically for the body to cure itself for the body to heal itself and for hippocrates to stand over it the the incredible hyperthermia increasing body temperature and i have found personally that that i don't i have not found another sauna that increased body temperature as much as the relaxed sauna and we believe that's because we give you the loving light which is the fire and fred between four and fourteen we give you 95 and the other saunas maybe give you twenty to forty fifty percent fewer it'll be active in green seriously you know the ancients had it right and i don't know when the word cure as you said was surgically removed from the vocabulary of medicine just as the certain groups own well they don't own
certain groups own well they don't own they profess to own the word physician position comes from ancient scripture from uh maimonides hippocrates these were all physicians literally needs healer and back in the old days they were using in the greek healing temples this was an integral part of the healing protocol and it's sad to see that it's diminished but now you know with your technology here thank god you know it's making a revival and people are catching on but you know i got into this because i'm into martial arts and all sorts of um you know physical activity and just sweating felt so good yeah and sweating is so good for you yeah and and as you said the frequency differential between such a sauna and just sitting in steam or something else is pretty fast look any sweat is great any sweat you get no sweat it's great you sweat it out so any type of sweat is going to benefit you for various reasons um but when you use a particular device that resonates at a certain frequency especially this one which works at the frequency of a qigong master i've written a book on qigong and i have a video on qigong the vibrational frequency the resonance is much more compatible with health you know it's a human resonance and i know this has been developed by an individual who has a strong root in chicago okay so this is very important and the nanotechnology composition of the heating elements allows so much more of this to penetrate the body
more of this to penetrate the body we do know that the water i believe the bond angle is something like 104. 3 the greater the angle the better it is for health the more the dissipation of the um the toxins that are released and if you vibrate if you can get into the body on a deeper level especially like with this an inch and a half to two inches you're vibrating those water molecules and breaking apart the interface between the organic and the inorganic poisonous compounds that come into the body so you're releasing them now furthermore you look at fat a lot of people cannot lose weight and they put on a lot of fat and that's not necessarily from binging it's just that we've become so toxic and fat tissue is a repository it's a cemetery for the toxins that the body does not want to allow to go to shunts it away from the brain the heart the kidneys the liver so what happens it's shunting into fat tissue is not really it's not complex tissue but it's like a graveyard of all the toxins so fat tissue increases and when you do sauna fat tissue we know liquefies at 110 degrees you're immediately getting rid of toxins and you're breaking down fat tissue now the body uh temperature doesn't get much more than 104 because i think the body gets over 160 die but the outside temperature so how do you get 110 degrees yeah this is now if you um if you look at the hypothalamus which also governs sleep hypothalamus governs body temperature and sleep feeling functions that's why when you sweat and you're doing uh yeah nice that you sleep better oh yeah everyone everybody knows the hypothalamus
the hypothalamus is the temperature regulatory center of the body so there are two mechanisms one is vascular and one is neurogenic they're logical and if one fails there's a fail-safe system the other one takes over so as you said the body does not like to heat above and beyond certain point 101 102 it says it's enough 103. we're getting into the danger zone you get 100 405 you're getting into seizure territory especially with children because their temperatures can go up so fast now what happens is the body we intuitively nature has created our body in such a way that we want to maintain the temperature of a certain balance 100 so by artificially inducing sweat by increasing the heat the sweat gland glass open up and you're getting rid of sweat and that is a cooling mechanism to allow the body to maintain itself at a certain temperature now does the outside get eaten above and beyond absolutely that temperature inside the sauna what is it we're talking about hundred thirty hundred so your periphery can very easily be hit with a hundred twenty hundred thirty hundred forty degrees and they're circulating toxins cancer cells all sorts of cells inside the body that are going through the peripheral circulation that get hit with this high temperature we do know that about 105 160 degrees viruses start dying off and cancer cells start dying off so why would anyone not want to use this prophylactically as a preventative measure as a measure to stay healthy you know that this is something and the education hasn't been provided well
well well this is what compelled me to write this book and um it really was an act of love because so many people have come to me and they use this in so many different spas all over the world and universities that said thank you this has changed our life and um you know it's a matter of educating people now in many cultures like in swedish cultures people sweat together it's a communal activity you know it's a social activity people are born inside someone they do uh ceremonies to honor the dead uh people think their children saw okay and it's just such a beautiful event like a family that sweats together essentially space together so a lot of people will do this as a family activity i mean they may do it once or twice a week we do it every day oh yeah yeah every day and and the other beautiful thing about this is that as we do this we're producing what we call heat shock proteins these are the chaperone proteins that are produced in the presence of extreme heat or cold so hypothermia and hyperthermia especially produce these chaperone at the protein proteins um a lot of them they start out linear then you see these 3d shapes they're beautiful like these um electron microscopes and these proteins they assume these amazing configurations now sometimes something gets in the chain the protein gets denatured it gets corrupted it becomes unfolded and [Music] disease starts manifesting it's it's like the dna it's like the loops of the dna when the dna starts to become um destabilized when loops are reproducing and they're reproducing erratically you start getting more and more erratic
start getting more and more erratic disease loops of dna same thing with the proteins while the dna rna dna have an influence over the division of the protein so in order to reconfigure these proteins these heat shock proteins come to the rescue and what are they hsps 40 60 70 90 and 100 depending on the size these heat shock proteins are essentially reconfiguration proteins it's like folding towels they go into a house with a lot of dirty towels and then we fold them and they make the protein structure normal again now um being familiar with ozone therapy being experienced and having taught ozone light therapy and other therapies it's great they help kill viruses bacteria fungus cancer cells this is a known fact already um no matter who denies the fact that this it's it would be erroneous because there's enough documented proof that oxygen therapies and light therapies get rid of all these elements but there's one thing that these therapies do not address and that's prions or prions now they are the smallest particle of disease the smaller the virus yeah fungus bacteria virus and ion cryons once they enter the body in the protein chain they start breaking down the proteins unfolding them and what are some examples of prion or crayon disease uh jacket skirfeld guru mad cow disease you can't address these with the other therapies but the only way you can address these effectively is with heat shock proteins and the way you're gonna this is from like cows being fed cow meat chickens being fed chicken meat the way to get rid of them is by creating these and the way to do that is by utilizing some form of therapy and far infrared infrared
of therapy and far infrared infrared zone therapy the frequencies at which it works is probably one of the most effective means [Music] [Music] as a lover of saunas since i was eight sixteen and then discovering that i could have a foreign son in my home oh my god and then a year later discovering the relaxed sauna was so much more effective why is to relax sauna you know what is in it that allows it to do more than another straw like for example when you buy a vitamin c supplement or zinc or b complex people look at well when they shop people are pretty smart well how much vitamin c is in it when people buy saunas they never think of saying well how much of the active ingredient of the loving light that resonates with the water molecule comet is in your sauna and and how much is the other sauna and people talk about the bells and the whistles but i want to talk about the active ingredient of what is in the relaxed sauna and you know of course i i know that their technology took 10 years to develop to do what they do but why does how we developed to to create a like a hot spot you know in japan the hot springs energies they were asked to do and they created this hot springs energy what is in the relax why does it work better than the other you know phil it's really a matter of frequency it's the frequencies that are utilized as i said before any type of sweat therapy any type of heat is going to benefit the body there are technologies that are essentially more beneficial than others so if you have a frequency emanating from the heaters
a frequency emanating from the heaters that are compatible with that of the frequency of dna and life on earth namely the human resonance you're going to get a much better result and if you really look at disease disease starts with the disruption of frequency balances in the body if you look at the body this is dense matter okay resonating at a lower frequency within the frequencies you have different what we call chakras and energy centers like the reproductive is about 33 hertz and you get the heart about 66 and the brain can go up to god knows whatever or it could be slowed down to a very uh a low point depending on the alpha beta theta gap you know all the different waves um you know so the frequencies have a lot to do with it the next layer is of course the etheric then you have the astral body you have the mental and the puzzles

In this interview, Dr. Bill Akpinar discusses sweating and far infrared therapy through a broad wellness lens. The strongest takeaway is practical: heat can become a consistent recovery ritual when it is used with respect, hydration, and attention to the body’s response.
sauna exposure raises skin temperature and increases blood flow as the body works to release heat. That cardiovascular response is one reason regular heat practice is associated with recovery, relaxation, and improved resilience.
The felt experience is familiar: warmth builds, breathing settles, muscles soften, and the body shifts out of ordinary tension.
Sweating can support temperature regulation and fluid turnover, but it should not be treated as a cure-all. The liver, kidneys, lungs, skin, and lymphatic system all participate in the body’s cleanup work.
A grounded sauna ritual supports those systems indirectly through circulation, relaxation, and consistency. It does not need exaggerated claims to be valuable.
Far infrared saunas use radiant heat differently from traditional sauna environments. Some people prefer the gentler air temperature and direct warmth. The principles remain the same: start conservatively, hydrate, cool down, and stop if you feel unwell.
The best heat practice is the one you can repeat calmly.
"A good sauna session does not force the body. It invites circulation, warmth, and return."
"Sweating is a signal, not a shortcut."
"Heat becomes valuable when it is repeated with care."
"The body knows how to cool itself; sauna simply gives it a reason to practice."
Begin with shorter heat sessions and build only when recovery feels strong.
Hydrate before and after sauna, especially when sessions are frequent.
Treat strong detox claims with caution; use sauna as a recovery and resilience practice.
