Hi! I just bought a $300 radiant sauna. I saw your video after the purchase. Very depressing. However, I was wondering what your thoughts were on installing a EMF shielding fabric over the panels. Do you think that would block the EMF but still get the infrared health effects? I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter. Thanks for your time! Ruth

How’s it going guys?
Today’s video is about EMF shielding.
This is for Ruth.
It says, “Hi, just bought a $300 sauna.
I saw your video after the purchase.
Very depressing.”
Well, I don’t know why you’d be depressed.
If you get a sauna for $300, you should be elated.
“However, I was wondering what your thoughts are on installing EMF shielding fabric over the panels.
Do you think that would block the EMF, but still get the infrared health benefits?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the matter.
Thanks for your time, Ruth.”
Well, Ruth, this is a complicated question, but hopefully I can give you a simple answer.
First off, if you got a sauna for $300, I would just be super happy with it and use it.
It sounds like that was a really great deal.
You didn’t mention what it was, so it would be impossible for me to kind of guess about the pros and the cons or the potential EMF levels without knowing what the brand is.
But, like I say, if you got a sauna for $300, I would use it and be super happy that you have it because not a lot of people stumble across a find like that.
Even if it’s a high EMF sauna, you could use it for a little while and it gets you by until you can save some money and get something else for the long term.
There are tons of people that do that, that get used stuff off of Craigslist.
As far as putting EMF shielding fabric over the panels, you’re probably not going to like my answer.
I would say for the average homeowner, it’s a waste of time.
So, it’s a super long, complicated answer for me to explain the details, but in a nutshell, EMF shielding fabric is generally a metallic weave that is meant to reduce RF radiation, which would be cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, things like that.
You could ground that and create a grounded porous cage, and that would block electric fields from the heaters if you skin the heaters with it.
You would have to ground it, though, for it to work.
It won’t do anything unless you ground it.
That will block electric fields to an extent.
It depends on how tight the weave is as to how much it will block, but it’s not going to do anything for magnetic fields.
So, if you have a high magnetic field, which is the milligauss reading, there’s no way that you can block those.
They either have to be mitigated from the factory, or it would just be way too much work and a complete waste of time for a homeowner to try to retrofit a sauna.
There’s no shielding fabrics that block magnetic fields.
The only thing that I know of that blocks magnetic fields would be G-Iron, or Gyron, some people say.
You can find it at Less EMF.
It’s just G and then iron, I-R-O-N.
But basically, it is a solid lead material, kind of like an x-ray blanket that you would wear over your genitals or something like that to protect fertility when you get an x-ray.
But the reason that I’m telling you this is because if you put anything like that over the heaters, it renders the sauna useless.
That’s why I say it can get really complicated.
There’s probably a way that you could do it, but you’d end up tearing the entire sauna apart.
You’d have to have a suite of tools, and even then, the technical aspects of it wouldn’t be worth the time.
I would just do what I said in the very first sentence.
I would just enjoy your $300 sauna, get some sweating in, get some detox going, and just really…
“Oh, you did say, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry.
You said $300 Radiant Sauna.’”
“Ahh!”
[laughs] “You said the brand, and I just skipped right over it.
I’m so sorry.”
Depends on which Radiant sauna it is.
If it’s…
You know, there’s some bad ones, and there’s some not-so-bad ones.
They’re all…
You’re never going to see one of those on a Radiant sauna list, or the certified sauna list, unless it’s a Radiant Health sauna.
But it’s probably a Radiant sauna from Amazon.
If it is a…
Well, now you’ve got me thinking.
Now, maybe the whole video is a waste of time.
“I’m so sorry.” [laughs] Maybe it’s the tent…
Maybe it’s the portable little tent thing.
Did I buy one of those a couple years ago?
Maybe I did.
Maybe that’s what you’re talking about.
“I’m so sorry.
I thought you were talking about a wooden stand-up sauna, and I guess I just read the question too fast.”
Maybe what I said doesn’t even apply to you.
I really apologize.
If you’re talking about the… [tapping] You saw my video after the purchase.
You might be talking about the Rejuvenator.
I think I bought…
I don’t know if it’s made by Relax, or Radiant, or one of those companies.
I think it’s called a Rejuvenator, and it’s a little portable black thing that you zip yourself up in, and your arms stick out.
A little portable tent.
If that’s the one that you’re talking about, yeah, the EMF levels are not something that I like or would want to use.
But if you can return it, and you can afford it, and you can get something else, obviously that would be solution number one.
If you can’t, it can get you by.
There’s a lot of people that just are in apartments, and they don’t have a lot of room for a different sauna, or a style of sauna.
Or money is an issue, or money is really tight, and they just can’t afford right now to buy a more expensive sauna.
And they use those for six to eight months, and they’re alright.
I mean, it’s not like it’s going to kill you.
It’s just people who are generally fighting chronic illness, or are EMF sensitive, generally don’t want to use something like that.
But if you’re a relatively healthy individual, I think that would be fine.
Now I’m all over the place with this video, and I don’t know if it’s a complete waste of time for you or not.
No matter what, I wouldn’t bother with the EMF shielding fabric.
If you want to send me another email and clarify some of the sauna details, I can always make you another video.
Hopefully this was helpful in some way for somebody though.
Have a great day Ruth, we’ll see you guys in tomorrow’s video.
