It is recommended that ALL CLIENTS, regardless of heart condition, see their primary doctor before using the HOCATT or FSMs. You should inform your doctor that they will be using a temperature- controlled steam and FIR sauna, and your doctor should perform the regular health-checks (e.g. take blood pressure, etc.)

HEART CONDITIONS & ELDERLY CLIENTS Elderly Clients and those with known heart conditions MUST consult their cardiologist about using steam and FIR saunas, as well as Frequency Specific Microcurrents (FSM) if you would like to add an FSM program to your HOCATT session. You need an EKG (not older than 12 months) and you need to be CLEARED to use a sauna by your cardiologist before doing a HOCATT session. Your cardiologist may recommend a safe temperature range, as well as a heart rate limit that may not be exceeded. Your cardiologist might also clear you for FSM should you want to add it to your HOCATT session. The HOCATT Plus has a heart rate monitor, so that you can monitor your heart rate throughout the session. You can also ask the HOCATT practitioner/ technician to set a heart rate limit (e.g. 120 beats/min). If your heart rate exceeds this limit, then the whole system will shut down (ending the session immediately).

DETOX REACTION It is very important to drink plenty of water before and after a HOCATT session, as well as throughout the rest of the day and the days that follow. Drinking water helps your body to flush out toxins. It is important to note that detoxifying the body too fast, especially if there are many toxins present, can overload the body’s avenues of elimination. These include the kidneys, liver, colon, lymph system, skin and lungs. When these organs are impaired, then even mild detoxification methods can overload the remaining elimination organs. Overloading these systems can result in a detox reaction or “cleaning crisis”. You may experience anything from flu-like symptoms to a skin rash. It is the body’s way of trying to get rid of the toxins. While ultimately a detox reaction is a sign of a good thing, it can still be an unpleasant experience. It is much easier to get through when you support your body’s normal elimination systems. When these organs are working well, and there is sufficient water and nutrient intake, then most detox reactions pass quickly, and sometimes even go unnoticed! This is why it is very important to drink plenty of water and take supplements, to help support the liver, kidneys, colon and other elimination systems. Be sure to do this if you find yourself experiencing a detox reaction.
