Lord,

Make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,

Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Substances as toxic to the body as heavy metals must be taken out slowly. The system cannot tolerate too much being taken out at once. Consequently, the common denominator in using any of these is patience.

Gentle But Effective

Cilantro and chlorella are a mellow duo. They present an effective synergy at removing heavy metals. Cilantro is pretty good at getting the metal out of the deep parts of the body but often doesn’t take it clear out of the body, depositing it in surface tissues.  Consquently it is good to use cilantro together with chlorella. Chlorella, however, can do what it does without any help.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid, or Thioctic Acid, is another powerful heavy metal detoxifier.  It binds and eliminates metals such as cadmium, mercury, and copper, because of its sulphur properties.

A Powerful And Affordable Oxidizer

Chlorine Dioxide is more of a heavy hitter.  This compound was especially helpful in eradicating my cadmium and mercury toxicity.  It does a great job at taking many heavy metals out of the body, but it is so powerful that care has to be taken not to take too much of it.  Taking too much metal out of the body at once initiates a cleansing reaction that can be intense.  Chlorine Dioxide is especially desirable as a chelator of heavy metals because of its price.  It puts up more bang for the buck than any other!

One of the Best Crusaders for the Removal of Heavy Metals

Very few heavy metals can hold out against zeolite, one of the most zealous crusaders against toxic metal in the body.  Zeolite will take out metals that chlorine dioxide can’t touch.  This diatomaceous, volcanic substance does this by entrapping the offenders in its cage-like structure.

Even greater caution must be taken to make sure one starts out with small doses and builds up to what can be tolerated.  Zeolite can detox heavy metals so quickly that it can make a person very sick.  This is especially not fun when one is already sick.

This element did a search and destory job on the copper toxicity in my system that nothing else could seem to get.

Got A Stubborn Case?  Try These

Most people will be able to get all their heavy metals out using the above chelators, but there are some cases where a person may need more.  In that case, there are products like Beyond Chelation Improved, Extreme Health USA, or Chelorex.  Though I think it is uncommon, sometimes it is even necessary to take an intravenous chelator, such as DMSA or EDTA.

Solutions to a Very Real Threat

These natural herbs, compounds and elements can be extremely effective at the removal of heavy metals. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, their pros and cons.  Heavy metals are a very real threat to our health and if we find them giving us grief, there is one thing sure: with a little patience and persistence, each one can play an effective part in the task of solving the problem.

There is help if you are confused by your symptoms and need guidance to deal with your problem effectively.

A Quality Not In Vogue

Qualities like being submissive, easily imposed upon, and gentle when provoked, cross the heart of our society today. We don’t aspire to such action. Fair or like treatment is more like our response: “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” at best, and “many eyes for an eye, many teeth for a tooth” at worst.

Gentle Strength

True strength, however, is meekness. Meekness is not the same as weakness. The measure of a person’s power has nothing to do with it. Meekness is an attitude of response to others, not a social status.

Like Water

Chinese philosopher, Lao Tsu said:

“Water is the most prevalent, soft, and yielding substance in the world, yet it wears down the hard and strong. None can overcome it though anyone can conquer it.  That which is yielding conquers the strong and the soft overcomes that which is hard.  Everybody knows this, yet no one dares to live by it.”

Water is the most powerful symbol of meekness or gentle strength.

Recently, water has been studied extensively as we have realized that there is more to water than meets the eye.  What we have discovered is mind bending and I believe stands out in metaphors for meekness.  Above all, it is symbolic of our meek God, whose meekness is only one attribute of His love.

What can we learn about meekness, grace, and God from the discoveries about water below?

No other substance acts like water*:

• Water’s density increased below the freezing point and increases above it.
• Instead of contracting when it is cooled, water expands.
• Water is the only substance on the planet that can exist in three states: liquid, solid, and gas.
• Water has the highest surface tension of all liquids.
• Water is the most powerful solvent on earth.
• How, in defiance of the earth’s gravity, is water able to rise through the trunks of gigantic trees against 10s of atmospheres of pressure?
• When trapped, water is capable of generating enormous pressure.  In a seed, for example, it reached 400 atmospheres at the moment of germination.  That is why a plant shoot can break through rock or asphalt with ease.
• Every living thing is dependent on water for its very structure and function.  Every seed, every embrio, begins its life exclusively in water.
• Water has memory.  Though it is such a small, simple molecule, the structures it forms when clustered together are complex and form as kind of magnetic tape that remembers everything, both physical and energetic, that it has come into contact with.  Water changes for good or bad depending on its experience.  It is the most maliable computer every discovered.
• The universe is connected by huge streams of information.  In our world, water plays the key role in how that information is exchanged.  In effect, it is the medium through which all nature is governed.
• Human emotions have the most powerful effect on water.  Positive emotions increase the energy of water and stablize it, while negative emotions reduce its energy and make radically harmful changes in it.  Consider this in light of the fact that we are mostly water.
• Emoto Masaru has demonstrated how emotions afffect water with his profound experiments on water.  He has played music to, spoken words to, and even taped words written on paper to different containers of water.  He cryogenically freezes the water and the crystal structure of the water for different positive and negative imputs are stunning, beautiful crystals for Mozart, “thank you”, and “I love you” (pictured above); ugly smudges for heavy metal music, “you disgust me” (pictured right), and hate.
• Water in nature flows in meandering channels, but water in a city’s water system experiences many harsh right angle turns.  This breaks down the natural stucture of the water. It becomes devitalized and “rotten”, sucking energy out of the people and plants that consume it.

In Harmony With Water

Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.”  The earth is mostly water and those who inherit the earth must know how to live in harmony with water.  Becoming meek is a big part of that and I think Jesus had water in mind when He said those words.

Water is gently strong.  Each of us has been given an element from the water of primeval ocean.  Our every word is like a water drop, a medium of thought, and a source of information.  We either resonate with The Primeval Water and become vessels of life or we pollute our own well and contaminate our place on earth with death.

Water is Like It’s Master

Jesus resonated with water and held it at his command.  He walked on it, calmed its fury, and washed our feet with it.  He yields to serve the weakest in His creation because He is meek like water.  He cares for each like His own life.  The Lord of the Cosmos is who He is because He is meek.  He is strong because He is a servant.  He is a servant king.

We Have Fallen Far

Lao Tzu said, “Everybody knows this (what water is like), yet no one dares to live by it.”  Because of our self-centered, fallen nature, we don’t have what it takes to be meek. We challenge others and explode when they dare to dispute our position. We demand just recompense for all those who violate us. We have fallen far from meekness.

The Only Way to Meekness

Only a dynamic connection with the Lord of Meekness can give us this gentle strength.  Only by resonating with The Primeval Water can we become vessels of life and meekness to others in our world.  Only by allowing Him to immerse us and cleanse us with water can we come to Him.  Now this Water Lord holds this fluid out to us, saying, “Come, and wash in the water of life without cost.  Return to the health and heritage that only comes through meekness”.

Meet The Body Code!

The Body Code, which includes The Emotion Code, is a dynamic and effective way to regain your health.  And this system is so simple that you can learn to use it yourself.

The Cause Of Disease

Many would have us believe that disease is as complicated as its many labels, which many of us cannot even pronounce.  But the plethera of names for all those different ailments are deceiving.  The cause of disease is very simple.  First, toxins attack our body in hereditary, nutritional, and environmental areas of weakness.  Then, as the body weakens, pathogens move into the areas of weakness.

The worst of these toxins are energetic, like negative emotions.  But they can also be metalic or chemical toxins.  They break down our circulation, blow our circuits of communication, drain our nutritional resources, and sap our energy.

It’s Just Common Sense

If we pinpoint the culprits of this meyhem in the body and deal with the true causes, it doesn’t matter whether our disease is called Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Thromboangiitis Obliterans, we may impact it.  Is this so strange?  It is only common sense.  This is the cause and effect that we have learned from infancy.  Why should the body act in ways that are alien to us?  It lives with us in this world.

Powerful Preventative Care

Because the greatest sourse of toxicity in the body are negative emotions, the energic reversal that The Emotion Code brings can be vital in maintaining and regaining health.  The power of The Body Code can help with the physical part.

Like the eight natural doctors, this is good old fashion preventative care should not replace good medical care but fit hand in glove with it.  It is not wise or fair to place the full burden of our wellness on our physician.  There is much we can do to prevent disease from immobilizing us or threatening our lives.

What Is The Body/Emotion Code?

No system has ever been discovered that can do what The Body Code can.  It is comprehensive and effective.  The reason why lies in the fact that it is going to the true source for information—our body.  The body is the only intelligence that actually knows what is wrong.  Without its genius and understanding every moment, we would all soon be dead.  It runs billions of complex operations within us every second, seeking to keep us balanced and healthy.  It remembers everything we have ever experienced perfectly.

A Path To Health

In accessing the wisdom that knows why we are well and why we are sick, we find the path to health.  All the information used by a Body Code or Emotion Code practioner is provided by the body itself!  This is the power of The Body Code.

The Most Effective Healing Method Available In Alternative Energy Medicine!

It is a way of communicating directly with the body to look for the underlying cause of symptoms.  It can also correct energetically much of the communication and circulation breakdown causes by attacks on the body’s systems.  Because of these things, it is extremely effective.  In the words of The Body Code developer, “the Body Code System is simply the most efficient and effective way to access this information in a very highly organized manner, so that no time is wasted.  I believe that it is the most effective healing method that is available in alternative energy medicine right now.”

How It Works

Kinesiology has prevailed, like acupuncture and chiropractic, because it works.   It is a system that common people can learn and has been and is being used by thousands of ordinary people worldwide to help family members improve their health.

How It Came To Be

I will let the developer of The Body/Emotion Code speak for himself:

“Let me introduce myself… My name is Dr. Bradley Nelson; I’ve been a chiropractic physician, craniopath, holistic healer and teacher for many years. Since 1998, I have been offering the special healing knowledge that I have gained through prayer, study and practice to others around the country in my seminars.

Do you ever feel that you are struggling under the weight of something that you can’t quite put your finger on? Perhaps your life is not turning out how you wanted it to. You may wish that certain events in your past had never occurred. You may even have an uneasy feeling that your present is somehow being held hostage by your past in some vague and indefinable way.

People often sense that they have emotional issues, but don’t know how to get past them. The feelings that seem to be in their way are often due to their trapped emotions. They are usually amazed to find out that their emotional baggage often consists of discrete energies that became trapped during emotional events they experienced in their past. They are even more amazed to see how easily these energies can be found and removed and by how different they feel when they are freed from them.

In the same way that you cannot see the wind, yet you can feel it’s effects, trapped emotions are invisible and they can exert powerful forces upon you. Trapped emotions can affect you physically just as much as they can mentally and emotionally. It is my experience that a significant percentage of physical illnesses, emotional difficulties and self-sabotage are actually caused by these unseen energies.

The Emotion Code has been created to give you new insight, to show you how trapped emotions can cause all kinds of problems, and give you the means to release them. You can take your life back, enjoy better health, and finally be free from the insidious and subtle forces that trapped emotions are exerting upon you.

It has been a goal of mine for more many years to teach people how to balance their own bodies and improve their own health as far as it lies within their power to do so. The Emotion Code is helping to fulfill this dream of mine. It is my sincere hope that you will read it and learn the powerful yet simple healing methods that I teach, put them into practice, and improve your own health and the health of your loved ones.

I believe that each of us has a destiny to fulfill, and a mission to perform while we are sojourning on this earth. Illness can stop us in our tracks, and prevent us from living the life we could be living. It is a sacred calling to help those who are ill to recover, not only because of themselves. There is a ripple effect that occurs when someone is healed. Their life, lived fully, touches many others, and can spread out through time and space to eternity. Some of the greatest satisfactions in my life come from teaching people just like you, bringing out the healer in them, practicing the healing art myself, and experiencing the joy that comes from helping others to be well.

God bless you on your journey to getting well and becoming the healer you are inside.  All the Best!”

The Lymph Cleanse Problem

Most people know about how the heart pumps blood through the body.  But mention the lymphatic system and you will get blank stares.  Most people don’t know what it is, where it is, or what it does.

Where Cells Go When They Die

The lymphatic system is how the body takes care of its waste.  Where do dead and injured cells go?  How does the body rid itself of heavy metals, poisonous chemicals, viruses, and other toxins?  That would be the lymph system.

Only Three Ways Of Movement

The trouble in the lymphatic system starts because, unlike the blood in our bodies, the lymph system doesn’t have a “heart” to move fluid through its lymph vessels.  It only moves in one of three ways: contraction of our muscles, the force of gravity, and massage.

Like Sewage In The Bathtub

Since there is five times more lymph than blood, it is easy to see how lack of movement could easily cause a backup of waste.  The lymph fluid becomes thick and backs up into the cells like sewage into a bathtub, producing unhappy tissues to say the least.  This makes the cells become more congested and sluggish and a system which was designed to keep us healthy, becomes a breeding ground for infection and makes us sick.

A Haven For Pathogens

As our distressed lymph system eventually returns its fluid from our body’s tissues to the bloodstream, infection can easily spread throughout the body.  But much of the toxicity just stays in the lymph system, making its stagnant invironment a haven where viruses, parasites, and bacteria can flourish.  Over time, this fosters degenerative disease and old age.

And all of this happens because we don’t move enough.  Our couch potatoe lifestyles and toxic diet is killing us.

The Rebounding Solution

“…for similar levels of heart rate and oxygen consumption, the magnitude of the biomechanical stimuli is greater with jumping on a trampoline than with running, a finding that might help identify acceleration parameters needed for the design of remedial procedures to avert deconditioning in persons exposed to weightlessness. “  - NASA

The most efficient way to get your lymph moving is to jump on a trampoline.  The most convenient and inexpensive way to do this is to buy a mini-trampoline called a rebounder.  A little time bouncing on this every day can produce outstanding results.

How Bouncing Transforms Your Health

• Lymph Cleanser

The reason rebounding is the most efficient way to stimulate the lymphatic system is because bouncing up and down causes all of it’s one-way valves to open and close at the same time.  This action can radically increase lymph flow.  Traveling up to 15 times faster than normal, it can take as little as two minutes to flush the entire system.

This results in a free-flowing system that causes a lymph cleanse by more quickly and efficiently moving poisons from the lymph system.  The immune function is stimulated as the number and activity of the white blood cells dramatically increases and the defense system is optimized to prevent disease and sickness.

• Cell Strengthener

As the G-force increases by the alignment of the forces of acceleration, deceleration, and gravity, the increased load strengthens every cell in the body.  This is great resistence training for cells!

• Overall Health Stimulator

Rebounding moves the cerebral-spinal fluid and stimulates the body’s organs, especially the intestines.  It increases agility, improves balance, and revives a tired body.  Bottom line: it makes you healthier and fit.

Rebounding Advantages:

• More Efficient

You get the same benefit of other exercise but in 1/3 the time!  One of the reasons for this is because energy is conserved at the bottom of the bounce and recycled upwards, developing more work with less expended energy. The uniform loading on every cell in the body also strengthens the entire body more thoroughly than any other exercise.

• Easy on Joints

There is 80% less impact on your joints when you rebound.  G-force is equalized throughout the body structure.  Without the solid ground to rudely interupt your bounce, you get more exercise with much less wear and tear on your body.  This makes the effect of gravity more beneficial.

• Better Lymph Flow

This is the greatest advantage of rebounding.  As mentioned above, the increased lymph flow promotes a lymph cleanse in the body, allowing better detoxification and decreased disease.

• It’s Fun!

Yes, it’s fun!  At least my kids think so!  For those who struggle with enjoying exercise, this can be a godsend.  It is so much fun that it doesn’t even feel like work.  It can make you smile and often laugh.

But The Fun Even Gets More Exciting!

Speaking of fun, Kangoo Jumps are an alternative that incorporates the same advantages as rebounding in a different package.

These shoes are amazing! Not only can they stimulate and cleanse your lymph system but they can extend your running years because they dramatically reduce impact. Go to www.kjfit.com for more information about and research supporting Kangoo Jumps.

Other Solutions That Initiate A Lymph Cleanse

Move Your Muscles

When it comes to solutions to help a distressed lymph system, getting up and moving more is the first line of defense.  Walk, Wii, windsurf, you name it.  Do anything that will move your body and muscles.

Skin Brush

Another way to move and stimulate and detox your lymph system is to skin brush.  Your skin is not only your largest organ but also your largest elimination organ.  It takes care of a quarter of all your body’s toxins.

By stimulating the skin, skin brushing can do the following:

• Stimulate lymph and blood flow
• Stengthen the immune system
• Keep the skin’s pores open
• Stimulates the meridian and nervous system,
• Tighten skin and tone the muscles
• Improve digestion

Massage

Massage is another thing that can dynamically move the lymph.  Since massage can be expensive, it is important to practice massage in families and between friends.  Massage brings with it a host of other benefits for health also.

Don’t Neglect The Lymph!

Moving you lymph is critical for your overall wellbeing.  Fortunately there are simple and affordable ways to stimulate its movement and the vibrant health and fitness that come with it.

Simple and Powerful Hydrotherapy Treatments That Cannot Be Overestimated

The heating compress can be applied to the chest, throat, foot, or joints. This treatment increases circulation, breaks up congestion, and increases immunity. It is indeed a very efficient measure; its usefulness cannot be overestimated. And the best part is that most of us have cotton socks and wool socks and scarves lying around the house. If we add its simplicity to its convenience, we have one of the best remedies there is for congestion and inflamation in the body.

Heating Compress For The Throat (Double Throat Compress)

Putting a wet, cold cloth around the neck is a common household treatment to reduce congestion in the throat and to help sooth a sore throat, hoarseness, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, and neck pain or tension. A heating throat compress will improve the circulation to your neck and help to speed up the healing process. This throat compress will decrease congestion in the throat and head and will offer some pain relief. It is very comforting when suffering from a sore throat.

What You Will Need:

• A bandana or thin strip of cotton cloth that is long enough to wrap around your throat just once
• A wool scarf or strip of wool cloth that is thicker and longer than the cotton cloth. You should be able to overlap the cotton cloth and safely pin it. A large wool sock will work.
• A warm bath/shower (optional)
• Cold tap water
• Wash cloth
• Towel
• 2 safety pins
• Essential oils  (optional but oils like eucalyptus can increase the treatment’s effectiveness)

Here’s What To Do:

1. Make sure your neck (and your body) is warm before applying the heating compress. Either warm up with a warm wash cloth or bath/shower.

2. Wet the bandana or cotton cloth in cold water. If you use essential oils, you can add them to a bowl or sink of cold water. You don’t have to wring it out too much. A quite a bit of water can be left in it and it will still be dry in the morning.

3. Place the cold bandana/cloth around your neck. Make sure it is secure but not too tight. The ends should overlap each other.

4. Wrap the wool scarf or sock over the cotton layer and around your throat, tucking in the ends to keep it in place or securing them with safety pins.

5. This can be done while awake but is more commonly left on overnight. Always keep your body warm during this treatment.

6. When you remove the compress, wash your neck with a cold wash cloth and dry off.

Heating Compress for Feet (Warming Socks or Wet Sock Compress)

I know that putting wet socks on your feet before you go to bed doesn’t sound like the best idea for a good night’s sleep. But try this once and you will be hooked! If you have a cold coming on, it can turn a stuffy, congested, sleepless night into a restful one. This has got to be one of the best home remedies for colds. If you have head congestion and want to sleep, then put on a pair of cold, wet socks and go to bed!

Warming socks are great for increasing circulation as your body tries to warm up your feet. They relieve congestion in your head, throat, and lungs. They also excel at getting rid of stress headaches and boosting your immune system. And if you have insomnia, this treatment will make you sleep like a baby. The wet sock compress only gets better when used on consecutive nights.

What You Will Need:

• A pair of white cotton socks
• A pair of wool socks with high wool content
• A warm bath/shower (optional)
• Cold tap water or a cold basin of water if you are using essential oils
• Lavender essential oil

Here’s What To Do:

1. Make sure you are warm to the core. Take a hot foot bath, full bath or shower if needed.

2. If you are going to use essential oils, begin by placing a few drops of oil in a basin of cold water.

3. Dip the cotton socks in cold water and wring them out. They should be damp but not dripping. You only need to get the foot part of the sock wet but either way is fine.

4. Put the cold socks on your warm feet.

5. Pull the dry wooll socks over the wet cotton ones.

6. Hop into bed. Within 15 minutes your socks will begin warming up. Of course, by then you will be asleep.

7. In the morning take the socks off. They will be completely dry.

Crazy? Yes!  But These Hydrotherapy Treatments Work!

What crazy things we do to feel better eh! But when something works, it doesn’t matter how crazy it seems. You may feel silly the first time you do it but you will soon see why it is considered one of the best home remedies for colds. And the kicker is that it is simple and affordable. Try it and see for yourself!

What is Christmas?

Every year I feel the magic of Christmas again, like ripples spreading in my chest. I have often wondered why they wash over me and give me goose bumps; wondered at their reflections in my mind. Looking closely, it is a Baby I see there, breaking my stagnant stillness; a Baby of whose tale I never tire. From the epicenter of the manger, the gentle waves have expanded to take in long held family and cultural traditions of myth, story, and song. They embrace friendships, trimmings and food. Each Season it is all here in these wonderful, enchanted waves that break in my heart.

Part of this festive mix is the jolly old elf we call Santa Claus. He comes to me across the centuries with a splash of Yuletide passion. Yet not everyone gets delightfully wet. The tsunami of cynical skepticism drowns many. And so the thrilling patterns that move the heart are lost.

But they are not lost on me. I still revel in their enchanted fullness for I believe in Santa Claus.

Is Seeing Believing?

Some say, “Seeing is believing.” But can everything that is real be distinguished by sight, smell, taste, sound or touch? Love is real; hope is real; happiness is real. Yet can we see or touch them? Sometimes seeing is believing. And sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we cannot see.*

There are many things that embody this colorful collection of emotions that I feel at Christmastime. Santa Claus is an important persona of these very real feelings that are my holiday spirit. I cannot deny the existence of Santa Claus anymore than I can deny the existence of these feelings.

A Spirit

Santa Claus is a magical spirit that lives inside of me when I believe in him. It is this spirit that makes Santa real and while it is in me, he is as real as I am. To say it another way, I am the real Santa Claus while the Christmas spirit is in me.

So Santa Claus, the jolly gift-giver of myth, lives in me—casting magical ripples across my heart and imagination. He is as real as love and generosity. He is a personification of my Christmas Spirit—a symbol of Christmas itself. With other embodiments of the Season, he brings Christmas home to me.

“The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear and feel the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can’t explain how people are born of the Spirit.” – John 3:8

Do You Believe?

But he is only real for as long as I believe he is real and not a moment longer. When my friends tell me that Santa is not real, they are right. Sadly, he isn’t real for them any more. And part of the magic of Christmas dies with him. This is true of all feelings and emotions. How many of us live without the fullness of love, faith, or hope because we do not believe. Yet if you believe Santa Claus is real, like I do, then he is. Then Christmas and the world become a richer place—a place of poetry, fancy, and song. And there Santa lives in all of his enchanted splendor for as long as you want him to—even until you are as old as I am. All of us, not just the children, should believe in him.

“The Polar Express is about faith, and the power of imagination to sustain faith. It’s also about the desire to reside in a world where magic can happen, the kind of world we all believed in as children, but one that disappears as we grow older.” – Chris Van Allsburg

The maelstrom of unbelieve has often threatened the joyful ripples in my spirit. But I have come to realize that the measure of the enjoyment I experience in life is my decision. And choosing to believe in very real things I cannot see has made all the difference.

Are You Sure?

I’ve heard you are a doubter. I’ve heard you don’t believe in Santa Claus. Doubting has often made me sick.  Belief is one of the most affordable health cures.

I invite you to think again.

But for me, belief is a decision I have already made. The closing words of the movie, The Polar Express, perfectly describe how I feel:

“At one time, most of my friends could hear the bell. But as years passed, it fell silent for all of them. Even Sarah found, one Christmas, that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I have grown old, the bell still rings for me, as it does for all who truly believe.”

Here are a few stories I’ve written just for you. I pray they will help to keep your Christmas bell ringing:

Dad’s Father Christmas | A Christmas Proposal | Christmas Presence

“You may tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.”
- Francis Pharcellus Church

The Difference Between Wellness And Sickness

The contast shower is the king of the therapies to increase immunity and energy.  We are not talking about a wimpy, mildly effective treatment here.  We are talking about the most powerful stimulation we can give our circulatory and immune systems.  This literally can make the difference between a long illness and a short one, or even getting sick at all!

No Better Way

Taking contrast showers and baths is nothing new.  It has been used all over the world for thousands of years.  The reason they have endured is because few things can boost our health quicker and more dynamically than hot and cold water.  The contrasting application of hot and cold is the most effective way to move the blood and the lymph.  There is no better way to stimulate the nerves, tone the muscles, and tune the emotions.  This is the mightiest treatment available to the human body. It is forceful and effective.

The Coolest Thing About Contrast Showers

But the most important factor in the power of the contrast shower is its simplicity and affordability.  It is available to everyone in one of the most common places—a place that everyone sings and soaps every day—the shower.  This is the coolest thing about this almighty therapy.

12 Effects of a Contrast Shower:

• Pumps the capillary circulation, increasing flow to the extremities
• Increased circulation flushes out the circulatory system
• Pumps the lymphatic circulation, increasing immunity against infection and disease



• Increased circulation provides new blood, which nourishes and detoxifies the body systems, increasing organ/gland function and hormonal activity
• Contracts the muscles which brings nourishment and elliminates toxins
• Normalizes blood pressure throughout the body
• Strengthens the nerves, which can help insomnia
• Heightens mood and motivation, fights depression, and induces whistling and yelling
• Increases strength and energy
• Increases oxygen by increasing the breath rate, especially when turned to cold!
• Better circulation reduces pain
• Brings life and tone to the skin

OK, You’re Convinced.  But….

A hot and cold shower would positively impact your health.  But you are voicing the most common complaint that keeps people from this healing therapy:  It’s cold!  You don’t have the fortitude to turn that knob to cold.

A Few Suggestions for the Timid Among Us

First, don’t even think about going cold until you are warm to the core.  A cold shower doesn’t set well with a chilled body.  Second, start out with short cold cycles.  It is always the first two times you go cold that are the most shocking anyway.  After that, the body gets accustom to it.  You can go with longer cold a few cycles into it when there isn’t as much jolt factor.

So What Is Keeping You From Turning That Knob?

There is no control like that shower knob for jump starting your health, especially if you are feeling off.  So get brave and live on the wild side for a few minutes.  No drug can replicate the results.  It will transform more than just you skin color.  It will rejuvenate your health.

Hydrotherapy Baths Are Simple Detoxifiers

Soaking is a simple and inexpensive therapy that can not only make you feel great but can relieve a litany of physical and mental ailments. It helps to wash and draw out toxins that have been stirred up by a massage. Toxins are also eliminated from the body with a good soak. I have often used a bath, with success, in my massage practice for nurturing wounded, aching muscles and speeding healing.

Water Does Absorb Through Skin

Dr. Robert Polisky, a dermatologist in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, says the skin, which wards off injury, microorganisms, and chemical agents, is water-resistant but not waterproof. Water is repelled by the outer layer but not completely shut out. When you take a long bath, you can see that. Your skin engorged and wrinked, which is the result of the keratin becoming waterlogged.

Even though the body is not designed to hydrate actively through the skin, there is a slight hydrating effect to the body and muscles—enough to cause the decrease in muscle soreness that I have experienced when it is done. Those that follow a massage with at least 10 minutes of soaking are less sore the next day.

Where The Water Meets The Muscle

I think the slight amount of extra hydration that the muscles need can reach them through soaking much faster than by drinking. The fluid gets to the muscles faster. Studies show that there is an increase in cutaneous hydration for 20 min with the larger increase occurring within the first 10 min. I have seen this effect in my massage clients over the years, with hydrotherapy baths producing less soreness after the treatment and faster recovery times.

Studies Have Shown What Experience Has Known

Studies over the years have repeatedly shown that soaking improves low back pain, muscle spasms, range of motion, mental and emotional health, and varicose veins among others. The addition of hydrotherapy to any rehabilitation program is well known to be effective. Bathing three or more times weekly, soaking for at least 10 minutes, can change your life. These baths all have different effects. Some are aimed at spiking the immune system, others at sedation, while others excel at easing muscle pain and fading bruises. Or a combination of all the above and a lot more.

Three Therapeutic Baths

Hot Tub Bath

Temperature: 100° to 106° F It is usually best to start at 98° and slowly raise the temperature to the desired point.

Time: two to twenty minutes

Drink cool water freely and keep forehead cool. If necessary, apply a cool cloth or ice pack to the chest or back of the neck. Bath can be ended with a cool shower.

Effects:

• If this bath is prolonged, it will produce profuse sweating. This is good since perspiration takes toxins out of the body.
• When ended with a cool shower and a warm bed, this bath is an excellent tonic when feeling a bit off.
• Raising the body temperature in a very hot bath kills numerous strains of bacteria and viruses, which will keep your sick days to a minimum.
• Running the bath a bit cooler, at 100 ° to 102° as a warm bath, is especially effective in relieving tight or cramping muscles.

Neutral Tub Bath

Temerature: 94° to 97° F, up to 99° in the winter.

Time: Fifteen minutes to 3 or 4 hours; usually twenty to thirty minutes.

Drink hot tea freely. The air in the bathroom should be warm. Wet the forehead and face in cool water. Cool the bath 2° to 3° at the close.

Effects:

• The neutral bath is the best treatment for sedative purposes. It equalizes the circulation and reduces the amount of blood in the brain and spinal cord.
• It is also a great bath to bring down high fevers.  When my kids were growing up we would sit in a tepid bath with them until their fever dropped.
• This bath is also a great therapy for tired and sore muscles. If used for insomnia, get out and go right to bed.

Cold Tub Bath

Temperature: 55° to 90° F

Time: A plunge only or 20 minutes depending on the temperature and effect desired. It is best not to go into this bath chilled. Take a hot shower or bath first.

Effects:

• Cold baths increase the oxidation of wastes in the body. Thus these wastes lose their toxicity and are more easily removed by the kidneys.
• Cold water is a direct tonic to the nerve cells. The dull, listless, and restless will yield to the brightening of mental powers. Insomnia is replaced by quiet and refreshing slumber.

Salt, Clay, and Oil Baths

Adding magnesium chloride to the bath (or magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt)) can bring dramatic health benefits. Magnesium is an immediate muscle relaxer. If you need to moisturize your skin, add one-half cup olive oil. And a clay bath excels at removing toxins such as heavy metals and chemicals.

There’s Nothing Like Hydrotherapy Baths

Very few things effect the body as dramatically as a bath. The effects of water are more stimulating to the immune system than anything else. No part of the body remains unaffected. As a simple and free health cure, the power of hydrotherapy baths must never be forgotten. Take one tonight and find out!
