Lymph Drainage

admin — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 16:14:17 +0000

Familiar as most of us are with massage, still you might not have heard of lymph drainage and how it can kick-start your health regimen.

Lymph drainage is one of the most powerful massage techniques; in fact most massage therapists are not trained in this technique and if they have been, will only attempt this specific type of massage every fifth or sixth session with their repeat clients. A person's lymphatic system is quite complex but has no real 'pumping' system; it needs to be helped to do its work. All the toxins we accumulate with the water we drink, the food we eat and the air we breathe lies in our organs and blood, and also in the intricate maze of our lymphatic system.

The only true way for the body to release the toxins in the lymphatic system is to release them into the intestinal tract so the body can enjoy a clean, and healthy immune system.

The overall tenant of holistic health is for the body to use its natural defenses to prevent disease. You don't want to rely on medicines, in fact barring truly traumatic stress, there is no real reason any of us should get sick if all our organs and systems are working normally.

Trying for the best health, we ingest vitamins, pay strict attention to our diets and exercise but without a working lymphatic system your overall health is compromised.

Lymph drainage after a colon hydrotherapy session is ideal and recommended at least every month or so and keeps the body working at its highest efficiency.

Thermograms -vs- Mammograms

admin — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 16:08:46 +0000

While modern medicine stresses the importance of routine mammogram scans for women to monitor potential breast cancer risks, there are other ways to check for signs that do not involve exposure to radiation. Dr. Joseph Mercola’s newsletter Why Mammography is NOT an Effective Breast Cancer Screen reveals that there are superior technologies that can help women detect symptoms of breast cancer much earlier.

Breast cancer is one of the most prominent cancer killers among women, ranking second only to lung cancer. Using Duke Medical School graduate Dr. Len Saputo’s Beyond Mammography, Mercola shows readers that there are ways to reduce the number of fatalities linked to breast cancer by exploring alternative technologies. However, many patients believe that mammograms are the key to breast cancer diagnosis.

Not so, according to the newsletter, which includes two strong reasons against mammography. First, there is a large percentage of false diagnoses from mammograms, which result in unnecessary radiation treatment and chemotherapy. The second reason in the case against mammography comes from Dr. John Gofman’s Radiation from Medical Procedures in the Pathogenesis. Dr. Gofman writes that the radiation exposure from annual mammograms poses significant risk to actually developing cancer. Think about it: developing cancer from attempting to prevent cancer. There must be a better method.

As it turns out, there seems to be a much better technique of monitoring signs of breast cancer. Both Dr. Mercola and Dr. Saputo discuss the strengths of thermographic breast screening, a safer practice that uses no ionized radiation. Even better, thermographic screening can show signs of cancer up to 10 years in advance.

Explore the information further here, and be sure to ask your doctor about thermographic breast screenings if you currently rely on mammograms for annual checkups.

Many of our clients at Transformational Health choose to have regular Lymphatic Massages along with colon cleansing to keep the lymph system healthy and doing its job of immunity. This is the first defense against congestion around the breasts, armpits and internal organs. Staying clean and healthy before any serious problems arise.

Getting Rid of Your Appendix? Not So Fast.

admin — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:04:53 +0000

While much of modern medicine informs us that the appendix is a relatively useless organ in our bodies, recent research points to the opposite.

It’s no secret that appendicitis is a dangerous infection for humans. If the appendix becomes enlarged or infected, the results can be fatal if you do not seek medical attention. However, a healthy appendix may do more than simply sit between the intestines. Dr. Joseph Mercola recently included some surprising facts about what your appendix can actually do for your personal well being. Coupled with a study from the Journal of Theoretical Biology, the article reveals that your appendix helps with some very crucial body functions.

The Journal of Theoretical Biology shows that the appendix operates as a source of backup bacteria – the good bacteria that is essential to maintaining a healthy digestive system. When the bacteria in the colon are affected due to sickness, the appendix can help to ensure a good balance of bacteria in your system.

It appears that the bacteria in the appendix may perform some very crucial tasks, too. From helping to protect your system from allergies to producing vitamins and helping maintain strong immune systems, the appendix produces bacteria that are vital to a comfortable existence. In addition to all of these possible benefits, Mercola’s writing reveals that the absence of an appendix has been linked to elevated risks of Crohn’s disease.

The widespread presence of an appendix in more than 70 percent of primate and rodent groups is another piece of evidence that supports the need for an appendix. While modern medicine is only beginning to determine what exactly this organ does, we can be certain that we will discover other surprising elements of the appendix’s role in the human body.

We at Transformational Health believe that the key to avoiding any problems with your appendix is directly linked to the cleanliness of the intestinal tract. Prevention, as they say, is worth a pound of cure.

Are Antacids Really Anti-Health?

admin — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 20:00:29 +0000

We are all at the mercy of our own stomachs. From occasional discomfort to consistent pains that stem from our digestive systems, millions of people rely on prescription and over-the-counter antacids for relief from stomach issues. While many of us believe that these antacids are the key to managing our stomachs, Dr. Jonathan Wright’s new book, Your Stomach, provides a look into the highly profitable business of producing and selling antacids and questions whether or not these drugs are actually helping us.

Too much of anything can be harmful, so managing the antacids in our stomachs is a powerful tool for good health, but Dr. Wright’s research reveals that too little acid can produce equally negative effects. From acid reflux to indigestion and belching, Wright suggests that antacids may actually be the reason for your stomach ailments. Also, undeniable is the medical evidence that daily use of antacids will produce anemia as well and prohibit your body from absorbing any minerals. Wright is a trusted voice in the medical world; with an undergraduate degree from Harvard and a medical degree from the University of Michigan, he has authored or co-authored 11 books and writes Nutrition and Healing, a monthly newsletter that discusses nutritional medicine and its benefits.

If Dr. Wright’s suspicions about antacids are true, why is there so little information available about their disadvantages? The answer is simple: drug companies rake in enormous profits from this sector of their business. Prescription antacids alone yield over $20 billion in sales. Before you take another prescription for antacids to the pharmacy, educate yourself with Dr. Wright’s expertise. It may mark the path toward a healthy and happy stomach.

Your Stomach is available from Praktikos Books.

It should also be mentioned that many hundreds or Transformational Health clients have reported no more acid reflux after implementing a detoxification protocol with the addition of probiotics daily.

Understanding Candida Cells and Yeast-Related Body Issues

admin — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 15:21:03 +0000

Are you among the 80 million Americans affected by yeast and fungal-related issues? If so, understanding yeast’s negative impact on your body is the first step toward a more healthy and comfortable existence. While women are known to encounter the overt symptom of a vaginal yeast infection, these problems absolutely affect both sexes.

Yeast does, however have a place in a healthy intestinal tract. SixWise.com’s “Candida: How to Recognize and Overcome Yeast Overgrowth” shows that a proper ratio of good bacteria to yeast is 10:1. However, there are a several factors that can contribute to throwing this ratio into a dangerous imbalance. Antibiotics, processed foods, stress, pregnancy, medications, and large amounts of alcohol are six of the primary ways that our bodies can suffer from yeast overgrowth.

These yeast cells, known as Candida Albicans, can quickly multiply and spread throughout the entire body. From vaginal yeast infections to an overgrowth of yeast cells in the digestive tract, candida cells can hijack your body’s normal functioning process. This can cause food cravings, bloating, liver overload, gas, irritable bowl syndrome, headaches, short term memory loss, postnasal drip and on and on.

Yeast issues are typically very treatable problems, and the solution begins with cleansing the intestinal tract of toxins. This can be anywhere from a one to four week program as recommended by your colon hydro therapist. After a proper cleanse, maintaining a healthy, low-sugar/low yeast diet while feeding your digestive tract with plenty of probiotics (good bacteria) should keep us in a healthy balance. Also, probiotic implants directly into ones colon after cleansing can achieve phenomenal results.

If you are unsure of whether you could be facing a yeast overgrowth, the National Candida Center’s Candida Yeast Infection Self-Exam can help determine if yeast may be hurting your body.

Cancer As a Fungus Not Such a Radical Idea

admin — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 12:36:48 +0000

Cancer is a fungus may not be as radical an idea as you’d think. Dr. Tullio Simoncini, an oncologist in Italy, has discovered what biopsy and treatment have not, that cancer tumors are actually a fungus in the body called, Candida albicans. This gentle man’s discovery and simple approach is standing the medical establishment on its head when it comes to how we view cancer and better yet…how to treat it.

Dr. Simoncini claims that when he has examined cancer tumors of his patients they are white, which brought him to the conclusion and the title of his book Cancer Is Fungus. The gentle doctor from Italy says we should be treating cancer as we would any fungus, not by surgery, radiation or chemotherapy-all terribly invasive, sometime life-threatening treatments-but by a simple ‘wash’ with 200 grams of sodium bicarbonate and water.

When one considers that our cells are made up of a cell wall and a nucleus and fungus cells are made up of a cell wall and nucleus, it stands to reason we cannot introduce something into the body that would damage our cells (which is what chemo does) but something that will not be harmful to us but harmful to the fungus. Simoncini’s benign water/backing soda solution has seen a regression in one day after treatment with no harmful side effects. He has seen success in the treatment of colon cancer, melanoma cancer and terminal carcinoma of the cervix.

When one considers the alarming statistic that 75 % of physicians refuse chemotherapy themselves, Dr. Tullio Simoncini’s approach is not only important but timely. Read more about Dr. Simoncini’s book and approach at http://curenaturalicancro.com/.

Vitamin D – The Sunshine Vitamin’s Bright Effects on the Immune System

admin — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 14:50:00 +0000

With a seemingly endless list of vitamins and minerals, many of us struggle to understand how each component plays a crucial role in a healthy body. Rather than worry about buying supplements, we assume that a healthy diet helps ensure that we receive all of these nutrients. But take one look at the studies regarding Vitamin D, and you will want to order a low-cost supplement today.

A product of the sun, Vitamin D is naturally produced in our bodies via exposure to sunlight. Due to sunscreen and other skin care products, the past few decades have paved the way for a serious drop in human Vitamin D levels. While protecting ourselves against skin cancer is very important, studies have shown that a lack of Vitamin D can be associated with cancer, heart disease, rickets and a long list of other medical troubles.

In a recent newsletter from The Wolfe Clinic, you can understand that Vitamin D’s importance has been far underestimated over the past few decades. While some members of the medical field downplayed Vitamin D’s role in preventing illness, research at universities across North America shows that this vitamin shares a strong link to strong immune systems, strong bones and calcium control and absorption.

In one study at Creighton University, researchers discovered a 60 to 77 percent decrease in cancer rates among postmenopausal women, and a study at the University of California-San Diego found that a daily intake of 2,000 IU of Vitamin D and 10 to 15 minutes in sunlight reduced the chance of colorectal cancer by nearly 66 percent.

As we all know, overexposure to sunlight can be harmful, and The Wolfe Clinic newsletter reminds readers that moderate exposure to UV rays is healthy. One look at the dramatic health benefits that Vitamin D offers will encourage anyone to invest the little money it takes for daily supplements. The sunshine vitamin is a simple way to strengthen your body against the illnesses that affect millions of people each year.

Why Real Butter is Crucial to Your Diet

admin — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 13:32:47 +0000

While processed food manufacturers may claim that margarine and other butter “alternatives” are healthy options for your diet, Donna Gates debunks these myths in “The 20 Health Benefits of Real Butter.” Gates’ article reveals the truth behind the margarine versus butter debate: butter is better.

For anyone familiar with the development of processed foods, you know that the additives and methods used in creating much of the food in grocery stores are toxic for our bodies. In the butter debate, though, so many of us believe that processed margarines are better for our diets because they are lower in fat and cholesterol. However, fat and cholesterol are not evil. In fact, they are vital to our existence. We just need to consume them in moderation. Eating margarine eliminates some of the healthy fats we need in our diets and replaces them with hydrogenated and processed polyunsaturated oils that create serious health risks.

From protecting against tooth decay to providing Vitamins E and K, Gates’ list of the 20 benefits of butter reveals that butter, in its natural state, is naturally good for us. While some cholesterol-free and fat-free food manufacturers want us to believe that eliminating fats and cholesterols from diets is good, the cholesterol in butter is vital to children’s brains and nervous system development.

It’s no secret that America has a serious obesity problem, and much of this issue can be attributed to our reliance on processed foods – even the foods that are fat-free. When the body is clouded with unnatural food additives and chemicals, the digestive system cannot function properly. Gates suggests that replacing that jar of margarine in the refrigerator with homemade raw and organic butter provides relief from some of these toxins.

Read all of Gates’ article HERE, and discover one of the keys to detoxifying your body on the way to better living.

Juice Cleansing – The Benefits of Clearing Your System

admin — Fri, 29 May 2009 19:30:51 +0000

Think about your daily intake: a quick fast food breakfast in the morning, breathing in secondhand smoke on an afternoon walk and taking medicine for a headache when you return home in the evening. Throughout each day, we consume loads of preservatives and pollutants that our bodies are not meant to digest. While exercise and rest can help rid our bodies of some of these unnatural products, many toxins remain in our systems.

With these toxins clogging your digestive tract, you can experience a variety of uncomfortable symptoms. From constipation to extreme fatigue and depression, an unclean colon can lead to plenty of other personal health problems that make day-to-day living more challenging.

Juice cleansing is a natural way to help our bodies to feel fresher, brighter and better. Because of so many pollutants in your digestive tract, your colon may have trouble releasing all of the harmful material in your body’s system. While some forms of detoxification can be somewhat stressful and challenging on the body, juice cleansing is a painless way to ensure that your body is working well. When paired with a diet change, juice cleansing can also help spur a healthy weight loss.

Juice cleansing diets operate on different schedules. Shorter cleansings require three days of abstaining from food while drinking only juice, and more rigorous cleansings can last an entire month. The mixture helps flush the toxins from your system and breaks down any colon buildup.

While some people worry that juice cleansings can deprive your body of nutrients from food, fresh squeezed fruit and vegetable juices provide plenty of vitamins and minerals that keep your immune system strong. You can find recipes for juice cleansing on websites for natural healing practices. All of these recipes will involve fruits, vegetables and water, which help maintain an appropriate level of energy while keeping you hydrated.

After a proper juice cleansing, you can expect to feel a significant energy boost while feeling confident that your digestive system will work more efficiently. Depending on your workplace, stress level and a number of other factors, you may want to consider juice cleansings multiple times each year.
