NO harmful radiation: Don't believe everything you hear; what you've heard is wrong.The type of radiation you should worry about is ionizing radiation (which CT scans have).The radiation from saunas is non-ionizing from electromagnetic fields,the same type you get from the computer you're using,cell phones etc.That type is only harmful in very high doses; the amount in saunas is safe.
