Sauna Detoxification Using Niacin is the most clinically proven and studied detoxification method to reduce the body burden of heavy metals and synthetic (man-made) chemicals. There are at least 25 peer-reviewed research papers that support the effectiveness of sweating xenobiotic toxins from the body, yet this therapy is 100% holistic.
Dr. David E. Root pioneered the use of this powerful protocol for treating workplace chemical and heavy metal exposure injuries, and he was even challenged by the State of California Medical Board in 1986 for this unorthodox treatment program. His 50-page response letter, which contained 23 pages of cited references, not only satisfied the Board of Quality Assurance, it also led to contracts with the State of California for his Occupational Medical services.
The word “toxins” can refer to animal venom, insect poison, bacterial waste, mold mycotoxins, or other naturally occurring substances as well as heavy metals and chemicals. Those substances that are foreign to the body, like most heavy metals and synthetic chemicals, are called “xenobiotics”.
Most of these xenobiotics are fat soluble and are not easily processed by the natural detoxification pathways of the liver and kidneys. These unhandled lipophilic toxicants become sequestered in fat cells where they cause mitochondrial dysfunction.
The mitochondria are the power-houses of the body, and fat cells provide the fuel for energy production. When toxic fat cells prevent the mitochondria from functioning, obesity and disease follows. In fact, most autoimmune, inflammatory, endocrine, and neurological disorders are the result of an imbalance caused by xenobiotics and poor nutrition.📷
HOW DOES THE PROTOCOL WORK?
In the simplest of terms, Sauna Detoxification Using Niacin (aka Detoxination®) causes toxins to become mobilized from fat cells, and then these toxins are excreted via sauna sweat and the use of binders. But there’s a lot more to understand before attempting Detoxination.
It is important to know that no other protocol is as effective as Detoxination in mobilizing xenobiotics from fat cells and providing immediate excretion of the toxicants from the body. When the Protocol is followed precisely, it is also the safest and most sustainable method for reversing the damage caused by heavy metals and hazardous chemicals.
Mobilization of fat-stored toxins begins with an unusual property of niacin (vitamin B3) which sets up a condition in the body called “rebound lipolysis”. To understand this concept, it is necessary to explain “lipolysis”.
Lipolysis is the action of breaking down fat reservoirs of triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol for mitochondria to convert into ATP energy. During this process small quantities of xenobiotics are released from the fat cells along with the free fatty acids (FFAs) into your bloodstream and interstitial fluids surrounding the cells. This is why you may feel nauseous or have headaches when exercising or doing other strenuous activities― a buildup of toxin-laden lactic acid is flowing throughout your body.
When niacin is consumed at levels above 500 mg, lipolysis is depressed for up to 3 hours while the niacin dose is metabolized. Once niacin is no longer suppressing lipolysis, the body is able to resume energy production. Studies have shown that this restart produces a spike in the amount of measurable free fatty acids which lasts approximately four hours, as shown in Figure 1. The spike produces 4x normal FFAs, and this translates to approximately 200% more toxin mobilization than normal lipolysis.

The next step in the Protocol begins 2.5 hours after ingesting niacin, and it involves 20-30 minutes of aerobic exercise to push the mobilized toxins to the dermis layers (directly under the skin). Exercise is followed by several sauna cycles lasting 30-45 minutes of infrared sauna or 15-20 minutes of dry sauna heat stress.
Far infrared saunas are preferred for their ability to generate “sebaceous sweat” more efficiently. The sebaceous glands produce an oily substance called sebum that moistens hair follicles and skin, and it is through this sebaceous sweat that toxins are eliminated.
While most of the mobilized toxins are excreted via sebaceous sweat, some will permeate the lining of the GI Tract. To prevent these toxins from overwhelming the liver and kidneys, binders such as activated charcoal and micronized zeolite are consumed. These binders mop up toxins and allow them to readily pass through the detoxification pathways and out of the body in the urine and f***s.
HOW IS THE PROTOCOL ADMINISTERED?
The Protocol involves specific, timed steps that are best administered by trained Detoxinicians at our Centers. Our qualified staff is able to ensure the greatest outcomes and best overall experiences.
A typical program for Health & Wellness involves two hours per day for a minimum of 14 days. Programs to reverse the effects of conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, adrenal fatigue, thyroid issues, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, candida overgrowth, and mold mycotoxins may require 30 days. Some toxic exposures, like gadolinium from MRI contrasts, may involve multiple 30-day programs spaced 30-45 days apart.
Each daily session includes increased doses of niacin, polyunsaturated cold-pressed oils, lecithin, electrolytes, binders, vitamins, and minerals. In addition to toxins, a person can sweat out several liters of water along with essential nutrients; therefore, it is important to properly replenish the body.
After 35 years’ clinical experience, we published a self-directed guide book and produced a video tutorial course for those who are unable to come to our Centers. If you have access to a sauna or a sauna-equipped gym or Day Spa, then you can attempt to Do It Yourself. Although we strongly recommend investing in your health with our personal services, we have strived to provide the best tools to gain similar results.
