Lymphatic Drainage Brushing -can be extremely beneficial to those who suffer from allergies, are preparing for surgery or post-op, suffer from edema, are consciously toning their bodies and losing weight, or just want to feel and look their very best by slowing the appearance of aging.

People LOVE Facial Rejuvenation Lymphatic Brushing, then the tuning fork techniques on the face and neck. It is an ALL natural lymphatic system to encourage drainage from the face, neck and upper chest.

Finally when the facial lymphatic drainage is complete, the tuning forks are used to allow the methodical connection and recharging of the facial acupressure points & meridians. Blockages resulting from emotional/physical stresses can be cleared. Energy flow is restored, resulting in facial well-being and beauty.

LYMPHATIC CLINIC

Using the two tuning forks of this set together can help to trigger the release of excess fat cells from your body while encouraging and stimulating the growth of muscle tissue. It is a well-known fact that muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissues does, so an increase in muscle mass will increase the number of calories that your body burns-resulting in a possible weight reduction.

Fat Cells: C#-295.8 Hz

Muscle: E-824 Hz

It is indeed one of best ways to smooth away those bumpy / lumpy parts on your legs. Not only does it buff away dead skin, but it's fantastic at boosting circulation and lymphatic drainage, and ultimately ridding the body of toxins. Your skin is an external organ that absorbs all kind of toxins that you come in contact with every single day.

It is incredibly easy and only takes minutes, Note the few guidelines before we start: the type of brush and the direction you move it. There are four things you need to know about dry skin brushing

How often: you can -- and should -- be doing daily, even twice a day. Your skin should be dry, so the ideal time is in the shower before you turn on the water. REMEMBER- don't get the brush wet.

Direction: You should only brush towards the lymphatic drainage partsmaking long sweeps. Suggestion: do not do the back and forth, scrubbing and circular motions as you are not washing. Start at the bottoms of your feet, then tops moving up the legs on ALL sides, toward just above your legs about 3 inches; on your stomach, direct the brush counterclockwise. NEXT: gently continue to brush upwards towards the top of your breast bone, making sure you do your sides to up under your armpits.

Then do your hands and up your arms towards the armpits.

Last for the brushing of the front of your body: brush from breast bone to under your arm pits to stimulate them to work. This is a gentle work so do not brush too hard: Skin should be stimulated and invigorated but not irritated or red.

Next take the brush & continue up the back of your buttocks, lower back to upper back- UPWARDS ONLY. You need to continue till you can reach you’re your armpits.

Type of brush: The bristles should be natural, not synthetic, and preferably vegetable-derived. The bristles themselves should be somewhat stiff, though not too hard.Look for one that has an attachable handle for hard-to-reach spots, if necessary.

Benefits: In addition to sloughing away dry skin on areas like knees, elbows and ankles, body brushing promotes tighter skin, cell renewal and blood flow. This also helps the lymphatic system release toxins and aids digestion and kidney / liver function. You'll also notice a glowing, smooth complexion. It is one of the easiest, cheapest and most effective things we can do for promoting your overall health.

THIS IS THE END OF PHASE ONE.

8 ways to boost your immune health

It is one of the most asked questions at CANCERactive: How do I boost my immune system?People who want to prevent disease know that a strong immune system will give them better protection. People who have something wrong with them understand that their immune system has failed them.

There is no quick fix. The immune system is just that - a system. And different parts respond to different things.

1.CLEAN UP YOURLIVER:is the organ of detoxification in the body and in cancer patients it becomes toxic. If it cannot clear away fats and cholesterol into the alimentary canal, the lymph system which carries your white immune cells becomes impaired and the immune response declines. In cancer:

  • Fats and cholesterol ´clog it up´ anyway.
  • There may be dead bacteria, microbes or even parasites.
  • The cholesterol can collect around dead cells and form gallstones - there may be thousands of these particles, most only the size of grains of sand. One US estimate was that 99.99 per cent of cancer patients had gallstones blocking the bile ducts so the liver could not excrete the toxins into the waste system properly.
  • Then there is the lactic acid from cancer cells. Plus the drugs from steroids to chemotherapy that must be detoxified. And then there may be lots of dead cancer cells.

So you need to ´unblock your liver. You can strengthen it anyway with:

Milk Thistle. (Silybummarianum seed)- has displayed remarkable healing properties for the liver. European research has shown that it is effective in treating cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, and alcohol induced fatty liver. Milk Thistle extract actually has hepato-protective properties; it protects the liver cells from damage by environmental and internal toxins. This herb can be used as a liquid extract, tablet, or capsule in most cases. However, the more serious recovery case should consider the standardized extract.

Dandelion (Taraxacumofficinale root). Dandelion is known throughout Europe as an excellent liver detoxifier and mild diuretic. It increases the flow of bile and encourages both the transformation and transportation of nutrients. It has been used historically to treat liver disorders, arthritis and gout.

Bupleurum (Radix Bupleurum). The Chinese herb Bupleurum has been used for 2,000 years to rehabilitate the liver. Traditionally, Bupleurum-based formulas are used for extended periods of time in cases of chronic hepatitis and other liver disorders. These classic formulas include Minor Bupleurum; Bupleurum and Paeony; and, Bupleurum and "Dragon Bone".

THEN THERE IS ALSO: Artichoke, magnesium and vitamin K

BUTT to clean it you either need a liver flush involving Epsom Salts and olive oil, or coffee enemas.

-Nutrients associated with detoxifying and strengthening the liver and digestive tract

Vitamin C. Vitamin C is considered to be one of the primary nutrients useful in the treatment of addiction. It helps to eliminate toxins from the body as well as lessen withdrawal symptoms. In 1977 and 1982 Libby and Stone reported that large doses of ascorbic acid combined with B vitamins and protein allowed heroin addicts to quit with minimal withdrawal symptoms- A dose of 10 grams daily prevented cravings from returning. The preferred form of C is buffered with calcium and magnesium or ester C.

Selenium This important antioxidant plays a role in the body's utilization of oxygen. Studies have shown that mice live longer without oxygen if they have been previously supplemented with selenium. Alcoholics, as well as patients with candidiasis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and ARC, have all shown low levels of selenium. In addition, heart disease and cancer are higher in people with diminished selenium levels. Selenium also has a role in detoxifying poisonous phenols, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, hydrocarbons, and chlorine. Many people with allergic reactions to these substances have found relief through the use of selenium. However, selenium can be toxic in large amounts. A safe therapeutic dose is about 100 mcg daily. Green leafy vegetables and several herbs, such as American and Siberian Ginseng, have bio-available forms of selenium.

Zinc The mineral zinc plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism. If one uses excessive amounts of sugar, caffeine, drugs, or alcohol it is more than likely that a zinc deficiency will develop. Low zinc levels can cause liver deterioration and diminished functioning of the reproductive organs, immune system, and skin. Zinc picolinate is probably the most bio-available form, with a safe therapeutic dose between 15 - 20 mg, once or twice daily.

Chromium. The recovering addict may benefit from chromium, as it helps to regulate the blood sugar pattern. Many times, recovering addicts find that supplementation with chromium not only regulates their carbohydrate metabolism but also their desire for sweets. GTF chromium and chromium picolinate are considered the most bio-available. A dose of 100 mcg, two times daily is a good place to begin.

Acidophilus. Supplementation with acidophilus provides "friendly" intestinal flora which help to digest food and control pathogenic yeast, bacteria, viruses, and parasites. A standard dosage of two times daily, morning and evening, is usually sufficient.

2.DIET: The Rainbow Diet, which advocates eating foods with vibrant colors across the week is an important starting point. Several research studies have now shown that it is actually a better diet for diseases like heart, diabetes and cancer than that recommended by Health Authorities. It provides adequate levels of minerals while giving the body natural compounds from anthocyanins to carotenoids and sulphorapanes. Garlic, selenium, fish oils, carotenoids, salvestrols like resveratrol, the dark red anthocyanins of beetroot and cherries are all important

3EXERCISE improves the immune system. It moves the lymph to take toxins away from cells, it oxygenates the blood, and it increases levels of happy endorphins and Human Growth Hormone, both of which can reduce levels of ´bad hormones´. Research shows that half an hour every day is the level you need - if you can manage it. It improves survival rates of some cancers by 50 per cent. It does not have to be strenuous. But you have to do it. Movement is essential as you have no ´heart´ to pump the immune sysatem for you. You have to do this for yourself.

4.TAKE YOUR SUPPLEMENTS

  • Research shows that vegetables and fruit provide more immune boosting vitamins, antioxidants,minerals andnatural compounds than are derived from synthetic vitamin and mineral supplements - providing you EAT WHOLE FOODS and that they are ORGANIC. Top natural food sources for the everyday antioxidants are:Vitamin E: 2 tablespoons of sunflower seeds (11 mgs); 20 almonds (8 mgs); 1 tablespoon wheat germ (3mgs); Vitamin C: 1 large red pepper (224 mgs); 100 gms raw broccoli (90 mgs) 150 gms papaya (90 mgs); 1 large orange (65 mgs); the new liposomal vitamin C compounds, whilst expensive, deliver farmore of the compound into the blood stream than cheap synthetic productsBeta-carotene/carotenoids: 1 cup carrot juice (24 mgs); 1 medium sweet potato (10.0 mgs) 5 dried apricots (6.2 mgs); 1 cup cherries (6.2 mgs); half cup cooked spinach (5.7 mgs); Zinc: 6 oysters (55 mgs), I medium steak (8 mgs); 4 tablespoons sunflower seeds 96mgs); serving of All Bran (4 mgs)
    Selenium: 4 cracked Brazil nuts (150 mcgs; 4 slices of wholemeal bread (60 mcgs); 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds (15 mcgs); 1 free range egg (15 mcgs); 1 chicken breast (10 mcgs); Lycopene: Tomatoes, especially cooked tomatoes- 1 tin tomato soup (65 mgs); 5 tablespoons tomato paste (22 mgs); The major problem with trying to ´Eat your vitamins and minerals´ is that soil depletion has caused big losses. The US Government Senate has reviewed the matter three times and each time concluded that people should supplement. People whoi are ill are often simply deficient in minerals or natural compounds; Vitamin Eresearch with cancer uses levels of 200 mgs and both tocopherols and tocotrienols forms*- theselevels arealmost impossible to achieve through diet alone. Supplement with a natural vitamin E containing all 4 tocopherols and all 4 tocotrienols. Beta-carotene, vitamin A and carotenoids: As with vitamin E, many high street products do not contain the full spectrum of natural beta-carotene leaving out cis- or trans- variants.Chlorellais a natural food source that delivers higher levels of beta-carotene than carrots pound for pound! Minerals are important ´helpers´:Zinc: 15 mgs per day, Selenium: 200 mcgs per day should be considered as corrective
  • But this, standard way of boosting your immune system will only get you so far. The breakthrough in very recent times has been the discovery of natural compounds like flavenoids and phenols in plants, which are many, many times more powerful as antioxidants than ´bog standard´ vitamin supplements. In the 2012 report on the PIVOT vitamin study in AmericaGrape seed extractwas a clear winner. It is an OPC, and many people use Pine Bark Extract as well or instead arguing that it is an even stronger immune booster. If you are thinking of buying Grape Seed Extract, click here to see what the Natural Selection has in store.
  • These will increase the volume of certain of your white cells. Here herbs can do an even better job: Turmeric (curcumin), Echinacea and cat´s claw are powerful immune boosters. But recent research has shown what Medical Herbalists have known all along. Getting a strong immune build up is worthless if your white cells cannot identify the rogue cells. This is particularly important in cancer where cancer cells can hide from the immune system. Herbs such as Astragalus not only boost the immune system ´volume´, but can promote this response.
    The next scientific breakthrough has been the discovery of the importance of polysaccharides in booth boosting the levels of T-and B- lymphocytes, cytokines, interleukin and Natural Killer cells AND getting this cellular communication process going. Medicinal mushrooms (Shiitake, Reishi, cordyceps) have been used in the Far East in this way for years. Polysaccharides are easy to find in nature, providing you have a healthy diet - for example, apples, pears, whole brown rice, onions, garlicand so on. Aloe vera contains polysaccharides and there are cancer ´treatments´ containing the polysaccharide D-Mannose but they are expensive and of questionable delivery.
    MGN-3 (Biobran)has extensive research to support its claims that it can boost the immune system best of all of the above. Again it is expensive but you may well find it worth the money.

5. ACTIVATE YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM. It seems that boosting the volume of the white cells AND getting them to recognize a rogue cell still isn´t enough. 2011 research showed that the first thing your T-cells do before they attack a rogue cell is pick up a vitamin D molecule to ´activate´ them. Vitamin K plays some part in improving this process but this is not perfectly clear as yet,

6 CUT OUT FATS AND GLUCOSE FROM YOUR DIET. I have told you that cholesterol and fat can ´clog up´ (it´s a biochemical term!) your liver and lymph. People reach for a fruit smoothie on their supermarket shelf and do not realize how the glucose ´hit´ hammers their immune system about 30 minutes after drinking it. Cut out all glucose - it damages your immune system and cancer cells love it. People with the highest levels of blood glucose develop more cancers and survive least.
