Jennifer Aniston is undergoing hush-hush cancer treatments, The National ENQUIRER has learned.
While the 47-year-old newlywed does not have the killer disease, she’s so paranoid about getting it that she’s installed an infrared sauna in her gym to fend it off, a source claimed.
“Jennifer discovered the cancer-fighting treatment about three years ago when she first used a portable version of the sauna,” the source told The ENQUIRER.
“She loved it so much she decided to get a full infrared sauna installed in her gym which she and husband Justin Theroux use.”
Jen confirmed her use of an infrared sauna in a recent interview — and a top cancer expert verified such saunas are an anti-cancer tool.
“Infrared saunas are a good way for someone worried about cancer to sweat out the toxins associated with it, such as plasticizers, lead and other heavy metals,” Dr. Susan Silberstein, executive director of Beat Cancer, who has not treated Jen, told The ENQUIRER.
“An infrared sauna improves circulation and helps to detoxify the body, but it’s only one tool. You can’t eat a crappy diet and expect to avoid cancer.”
The sauna works by heating the body from the inside out, using light to create heat.
The treatment appeals to the former “Friends” star, whose godfather, “Kojak” star Telly Savalas, died of prostate and bladder cancers in 1994 the day after he turned 72.
Telly was one of her father’s best friends, and she remains haunted by his death, as well as that of her close pal, film producer Laura Ziskin, who died of breast cancer in 2011.
In 2014, Jen revealed her aunt, Joan Dow, had cancer, prompting fears it could run in her family.
The health-conscious actress has thrown her support behind the cancer awareness program Stand Up to Cancer, and was a spokesperson for the Key to the Cure campaign.
At a star-studded telecast for Stand Up to Cancer in 2014, she said: “We have to keep rising as one, because cancer keeps going after the ones we love. We have the power to change this.”
