Stuart, I credit my spa with my recovery from Lyme disease!
There is no price that I can put on that....And for anyone with arthritis, Lyme, or even stress related health issues, I honestly believe that there is no better therapy or remedy. But that puts the spa into a different category then what I am talking about.
For people who think it is just a party or status item, I say it is an expense and a luxury. Just like a swimming pool! And given the economy today and my current financial situation (and
if I didn't know the true health benefits), I could not justify the costs of the tub and associated expenses. So yes, you are right..no one presented a hot tub as a cure for Lyme. But I reasoned that the people that I knew who recovered after having chronic Lyme talked about heat and long soaks in bath tubs. So a more logical solution was a hot tub that allowed you to soak up to your neck. I have told many many friends who suffer from Lyme that the answer is a hot tub.
I can tell you something else..and you will find this funny, but it is true..for those ladies looking to lose a few pounds and get rid of cellulite..the hot tub (with good therapy jets) is the answer. It works..and I can't believe no one has ever discovered this before.
