"These zealots have vast follow-ings and often mind-boggling profit margins from their books, health spas, and the like. All the hype has forced some systematic studies. We will have much to say about the Women's Health Initiative in chapter 11. This was a federal initiative, funded with great sums, investigating a number of issues relevant to the health of American women. It included a randomized controlled trial of dietary modification for the primary prevention of invasive breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and cardiovascular disease." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"Conventional saunas and steambaths are generally found in gymnasiums and health spas. Infrared saunas are more apt to be found in clinics run by holistic practitioners. People with health problems should consult a natural health care practitioner before using either type of sauna. (See the Resource Directory at the back of the book to learn where to find these.) Rubbing essential oils on your body prior to using the sauna can help intensify the detox process of sauna. Try using oils derived from lemons, grapefruit, and juniper." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Sadly, many parents feed junk food with one hand and body-image paranoia with the other - in 2005 health spas for pre-teens became the latest UK craze ('Sometimes I don't feel comfortable about my body and the spa helps me,' said one litde girl, who goes to the spa with her mum). Litde wonder eating disorders are rife across the developed world. Slugs and snails... Marketing to boys exploits the same human vulnerabilities, but with a masculine slant. Collectibles for boys are quirky as opposed to pink, and generally linked to conflict, hierarchies or mechanics. Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!" - Sue Palmer, Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it (Get the book.)

"For example, "LaStone Therapy" is a popular new therapy that is offered in some innovative health spas. This involves placing warm stones on key energy points of the body. If these stones were ionized prior to being placed on the body, the healing effects would be enhanced. In fact, placing Ionized Stones on any weak or painful part of the body, including the corresponding chakra, has healthful benefits. If crystals play a role in the therapy, ionizing them first greatly amplifies their positive effects." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"In my many years in the health field, I've spent time in hospitals and health spas inspiring patients to cleanse; recover their health; be strong; always live a healthy lifestyle; and treasure and protect their life! After his 7 day fast, I eliminated more refined foods and gave him more raw fruits and vegetables. After several more weeks, I put him on a 10 day fast. This was a much easier fast for him, but he still eliminated heavy amounts of toxic matter. This is called the "latent poison" that becomes concentrated in the cells of the body." - Patricia Bragg and Paul C. Bragg, The Miracle of Fasting: Proven Throughout History for Physical, Mental & Spiritual Rejuvenation (Get the book.)

"It became fashionable for members of the upper and middle classes to rejuvenate their exhausted nervous systems at health spas. In 1979, the American Psychiatric Association deemed neurasthenia too vague. In a departure from the World Health Organization, the APA decided to drop the term from the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III, 1979)." - Richard P.
