I was thinking of participating in a sweat lodge put on by a Wampanoag Indian acquaintance who holds them in prisons and in Europe as a calling. But when a friend told me participants stay in the lodge for an hour, I remembered Steven and said no thanks. Dr. Bieler (of Bieler's Broth fame) said it only takes five minutes of profuse sweating to flush whatever toxins can be flushed in that manner. Any more sweating merely contributes to dehydration. And what does one breathe after 20 minutes in a sweat lodge? Surely the oxygen is gone. Steven's widow told an interesting story I still recall hearing second hand. Steven apparently had an affinity for owls. I guess you'd say they were his totem animal. Upon leaving the hospital, his wife encountered an owl standing by the walkway. This was in broad daylight on the campus of the busy University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Yet the owl just stood there, impassively, looking at her, like an omen. Like a goodbye. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
