This unique book is the work of life extension researcher and consultant, Ryker Black, aka. Dr. X. Whether you are a simply a regular sauna user seeking to learn the absolute healthiest way to use the sauna, or are a dedicated life extension or anti-aging devotee, you will find this book to be full of highly relevant information. Furthermore, the information presented here will almost certainly transform the way that you currently use the sauna. You will learn exactly how you can use the sauna as a tool to extend your healthy lifespan, helping to improve your chances of remaining free of cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's and many other common diseases. Of course the sauna by itself will not work miracles, it has got to be part of a healthy lifestyle in order to exert its maximum potential benefits. But if living a longer healthier life is your goal then the sauna, if used correctly, can provide you with a whole host of incredible anti-aging benefits. In this book the author reveals a wealth of information that would be difficult to uncover without extensive research. He has saved you that trouble by documenting everything that you need to know in order to maximize the results from your sauna sessions. The information is presented in an easy to follow format and every single aspect of sauna use that can be optimized has been addressed. The author also uncovers common mistakes made by the vast majority of sauna users so that you won't ever repeat those same mistakes again. Of interest to many will be the information presented regarding fat burning, detoxification, skin improvements, increasing endurance, muscle building, neurogenesis (growth of new brain cells), and more. The fat loss information presented in the book is eye opening and will be of particular interest to those who have been having difficulty getting rid of stubborn, localised pockets of fat. You will also find the latest information regarding how to use the sauna in order to maximize the expression of the FOXO3 longevity gene while simultaneously increasing the production of something called Heat Shock Proteins (HSP's). The incredible result of which is proven longer healthy lifespan. There is also a chapter devoted to several nutritional supplements that can also increase the expression of your longevity genes. Additionally the astonishing results of a 20 year long Finnish Sauna Study and its relevance to your own sauna use is discussed in detail. The final chapter of the book is devoted to explaining how to implement the incredible sauna detoxification protocol developed by Dr. George Yu MD. This incredibly powerful detox combines the use of niacin, activated charcoal, exercise and the sauna. This protocol was used with great success after 911 in order to detoxify many of those brave firemen who had been exposed to extreme levels of toxic dust inhalation. Its application is far reaching and it is a highly effective therapy for anyone who wishes to thoroughly clear their body of a lifetime of accumulated harmful toxins. This amazing detox therapy really does have no equal. It is super easy to follow and can work alongside your regular sauna sessions. The author has personally been using the protocol for many years and in that time has optimized its implementation with excellent feedback from his clients around the globe. Lastly a few words from the author Ryker Black: "Maximizing healthy lifespan. The subject is my passion, perhaps my obsession. Whichever it is, my intention is that we both shall benefit. That is the sole reason why this book was written". All the best, Ryker Black.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sauna Detox - updated and simplified
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2021
Verified Purchase
First off this is a good read for anyone on the fence about saunas... or is confused by all the competing marketing material in the sauna space.

Most importantly, it contains an easy detox plan for anyone that already has a sauna.

The original sauna detox protocol, from right around 2000, is very complex.

Black lays out an updated, and much simpler protocol, outlined by Dr. Yu. (Yu is one of the original authors of the first protocol and has a medical practice that specializes in this).

The newer protocol is not a trade secret, and I’ve gleaned the gist of it from other things online. However, it’s laid out here so anyone can understand it and follow it themselves.

Black also adds some information on supplementation of several OTC items that appear to have great benefit in the detox and longevity areas. His recommendations are solid.

This is an easy read with good information. However, If you are looking for the science behind most of his recommendations you will need to pull up the research via an internet search.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely valuable information

Before reading this book I rarely took a sauna. After reading this book I am in the sauna every chance I get! More importantly, I'm doing it exactly how the author advises.

I found the information presented to be truly mind blowing. I'm just a little upset about all the years of sauna benefits that I've missed. I also now know that on my previous visits to the sauna, I was doing it all wrong.

The benefits I have experienced since implementing the author's advice have been pretty much instantaneous, and for that I am so, so grateful. I'm sleeping better, losing fat, have more energy, and since starting the sauna detox outlined in the book my skin is looking so clear and smooth. Very happy!

I actually bought this book after reading another title by this same author called the "Underground life extension handbook" and I can also thoroughly recommend that one to anybody who is serious about their anti-aging supplements.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential information!

Nowadays you do not find easy books with essential and practical information. This is because many writers lack empirical knowledge! Mr. Ryker Black is an exception. In both of his books I read he provides and shares with us a wealth of practical knowledge that is difficult to obtain from the Internet or from books alone. If you are reading this book I would definitely recommend reading the Underground Life Extension Handbook. The information is really priceless! Easily applicable and most importantly tested by him! Some of these I had in mind from my own research and experimentation but these books gave me new impetus! I look forward to new books from this author!

If you already have an inkling that saunas are great for your health, this book will definitely allow you to be much more productive in using the sauna.

The explaination of niacin and its role in the sauna detox process is very helpful. I’m here to tell you that Ryker’s detox protocol will make you feel like superman when your done with it. I now do it weekly. Great book

While I’ve been using the gym’s dry sauna for some time and thought how to use it was quite straightforward, I still took a gamble and purchased this book. I was wise to do so and will now take steps to maximize the benefits.

...and get yourself a copy of this book, read it, apply it and enjoy it. How convenient for someone else (in this case the author) to do all the research for me, saving me hours of confusing reading. All in an easy to read, condensed manual, simply amazing. Its also made me realise how ive been using the sauna wrong for all them years...! Well now i know how to get the best out of my efforts, all for the cost of a coffee! A personal thank you to the author.
