I first heard about this method from Dr. George Yu who works as a surgical oncologist in Washington DC. This method has been used in cases of heavy metal toxicity and radiation.
The protocol is as follows:
Step 1 – Niacin (vitamin B3)
A starting dose may be as low as 250mg but you can work up into the 1000’s, up to 5000 mg. Please start small and work your way up over time as that is a large dose.
Step 2 – Bounce on a Rebounder
This helps stimulate the lymph system. Other forms of exercise will work, but this is ideal as it most effectively activates the lymph system.
Step 3 – Infrared Sauna
Sit in an infrared sauna at as high temperature as you can stand for 30-60 minutes.
Step 4 – Activated Charcoal
The niacin causes lipolysis (fat cells to burst) which releases toxins. These can then be sweated out or circulated through the body. Not everything will leave the body and thus your liver will end up processing them, hopefully for excretion. By taking activated charcoal it may bind to these toxins and metals in the digestive system and help remove them.
Make sure you’re well hydrated throughout the process. Drinking lots of water before, during and after.
In extreme cases this protocol can be done every day. I personally do it every once in a while to help keep my body running well.
To further aid in liver detox, as well as nutritional support, it would be helpful to take schisandra and/or seabuckthorn before or after this protocol too.

Interested in trying this. What is your opinion on near vs far infrared? Is one better? Do you have any articles or information on creating your own sauna? Do you have good, affordable rebounder recommendations?
Also, is there any risk to using higher doses of niacin for a prolonged period (like outcompeting other b vitamins)? I’m also curious if the niacin is able to help purge toxins stored in organs or behind the blood-brain barrier.
Thanks!
Lots of good questions which unfortunately I don’t know all the answers too. Cheap rebounders can typically be found at toy or fitness stores for $20-$30 while there are much higher quality and higher end versions our there. If you did do lots of niacin regularly it would probably be good to take the other B complex as well.
Thanks Logan. I’ve been looking for something like this for awhile. How much charcoal do you take in this process.
You’re welcome. Usually 2-3 capsules.
I did something similar as a Scientologist. We also drank some unrefined vegetable oils to replace fat that was contaminated. You maybe should have told people to check with their doctors first with this, too many litigious people around.
But this was very nice to see, thanks.
Really good video guys
