Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Wow, Georgette, I'd be desperate, too, if this were my child! I think while it's not easy at all, I think for your child's sake, it's important for you to take some deep breaths for yourself and try to calm yourself so you can keep your cool for your child's sake. This is scary, I know..but your son will look to you for comfort and security. Next, in this case, it would be important to trust your child's cardiologist for immediate care. You don't want to take any uncertain chances with your child's health. It would be unwise of me to offer advice or comment about herbs/supplements or other alternative remedies that may or may not improve your child's condition. I'm also not educated enough in cardiology to feel confident in telling you to go a certain way which may, in fact, put your child at greater risk. I think if this were my child, I'd first get a second opinion from a specialist and then go with what is recommended. You can always choose to take the advice of a licensed Naturopath..that is up to you, but check credentials. This is not something to " play around with " ..in my opinion and I am an advocate for natural health and wholistic medicine, but I'm also a retired family practice nurse and there are times and conditions where Western Medicine is indicated. I think this is one of those cases. Sending prayers and healing energies to your son as there is always room for love... some people might lead you to Reiki or other alternative methods of healing and I think there is beneficial properties to these healing modalities, but also, listen to the doctors who are more fully informed as to your son's condition than we, here, would be.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I can't say for sure that this will help but I if he were my son I would use magnets with him. They can't hurt. My friend has a genetic heart disorder where her heart just skips beats. Her cousin died at 35 with the same thing and she was taking medication her whole life. My friend got a magnetic necklace and her heart started beating normally. A few years ago there was an article in Reader's Digest about a cardiologist and magnets but unfortunately that was on my old computer that crashed. It has helped others but of course every person is different. I have one and find it to be quite helpful with my allergies since it hangs by the thymus gland. Dr. Richard Schultz healed his deformed heart by eating a strict raw food diet, no vitamins. There are healing mushrooms like reishi and cordyceps that are excellent for the heart as well. Cordyceps would be my first choice of a supplement. Liquid oxygen may also help. Global Health Trax is the name of the company that sells that. Maybe someone here is a rep and can send you info.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hello! Here is two herbs that good at strengthening the heart. Hawthorn and Cayenne pepper. I find the cayenne pepper strong to take. Here is a recipe I made up. The honey really takes the spice out of the drink. Mix 1 tablespoon of raw honey with 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in glass. Pour warm(not boiing hot) water and mix together. Drink when warm. It would be good to take the cayenne pepper in pill form, but make sure you take it in water to. Here is what Dr. John Christopher says about cayenne pepper. " It feeds elements that may be lacking into the cell structure of the arteries, veins, and cappillaries to give them the elasticity of youth again, as the blood pressure adjusts itself to normal. When the venous structure becomes loaded with sticky mucus, the blood has a harder time circulating; therefore, higher pressure forces the liquid through. Cayenne regulates the flow of blood from the head to the feet so that it is equalized. Cayenne (as a stimulant) in an activator, carrier and accentuator. Cayenne influenses the heart immediately, then gradually extends its effects to the arteries, capillaries, and nerves. The frequency of the pulse is not increased, but given more power. In equalizing the blood circulation, cayenne produces natural warmth, and in stimulating the peristaltic movement of the intestines, it aids in assimulation and elimination. It rebuilds the tissue in the stomach. It also heals stomach and intestinal ulcers. A lot of people use cayenne capsules. But is is faster acting using the drink form. Take the drink as often as you can. The heart valves can be toned up with the use of cayenne, heart tonics, and wheat germ oil. " I also read that if you take the cayenne in water(not pill form) when the cayenne touches the tissues of the mouth it triggers the nerve impulses to heal the part of your body that needs healing. I used to have a hole in my heart(born with it) the meds wanted to do surgery on it. My parents said no. We let it heal by itself. It is now all healed. I am 18 now. It healed when I was 11. Hope this helps.

You need to be careful because there can be drug interactions with various herbs and even nutritional supplements. Is there perhaps a local MD trained in alternative methods available to you locally? Perhaps a Wellness chiropractor? This is obviously very serious. You want someone locally with at least some training to be able to directly observe him. maybe at least a friend who's a nurse?

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Get the following supplements for your son. CoQ10...this is used by all cells, particularly the heart muscle, for energy. It's made in the liver. It helps a lot for anyone with heart weakness. Anyone taking statin drugs NEEDS this supplement since those drugs interfere with the liver's ability to make it. L-Carnitine...this is an amino acid that helps your heart get energy from fats. Magnesium....a mineral that most people don't get enough of. It greatly helps the heart muscle. D-Ribose is also said to help the heart get energy. There is a web site that tells more about this...I'll post it here as soon as I can look that info up again.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 ---pureely suggestions proper nutrition comes to mind .....you need to study this part to start with spiritual/reiki healing possibly even a detox Spiritual Healing /Reiki healing Spiritual healing/ reiki to many people conjures up so many images and meanings, for those who do not know what it is all about, all that I would ask is that you approach the subject with an open unprejudiced mind and with a wish to explore and evaluate the evidence carefully and properly. It is hoped with such an attitude truth will prevail and misconceptions from misguided people will be put in their rightful place. From the outset it must be clearly understood that we live on a planet of causes and effects, every thing seen on this planet has a cause and an effect. We live in and are surrounded by all sorts of effects like wind blowing from the north or a light shining from a star or a leaf growing on a tree or wealth, health,suffering,Happiness,Love,Sound,lightning,Music in fact everything we see, feel, touch, smell, all have causes. Magic is the name simply applied to happenings where no obvious cause can be seen, at least to some of those witnessing it.As you can easily appreciate no effect is without a cause. We are know witnessing one of the great turnings in our century where old healing practises are re-emerging such as Reiki healing, Colour healing, Seichim, Spiritual healing, Osteopathy, Massage and many others. Some of these are thousands of years old, Spiritual healing/reiki is one of those. It is exactly the same kind of energy used by Jesus in so many of his healings. Put simply Spiritual Healing/Reiki is the transference of certain energies through a channel which could be a person or an animal or even the planet, the wavelengths of this healing energy are well outside the limits of most scientific equipment but a lot of people can feel this energy . The energy in my experience has been very uplifting and beautiful which can touch and vastly influence parts of us such as the spirit or soul or our mental selves and our physical selves. It can bring a steadiness and balance and sense of well-being second to none .Its limits as to its use are in the realms of the infinite. A very simplistic analogy would be to liken it to a massive energy reservoir which can be tapped into by people and animals which act as the conduits of this energy and like wires of electricity some of which are bigger than others and so therefore big wires can transmit more energy than smaller wires. Bearing this point in mind the reader can soon appreciate that going to one spiritual healer , Reiki healer can be vastly different than going to another as it is with so many things whether it be dentists, doctors, policeman or what have you. Spiritual Healing, Reiki is natural healing energy, which is present in this universe. Spiritual healers and Reiki work in many different ways to some it is the laying on of hands onto a person or animal, to others it can be sent through the power of thought. To be even in the presence of some healers can have a profound and beneficial effect on people and one wishes that there were more people giving off just as beautiful vibrations as these people were this world would truly transform it. Everyone needs healing, because there is not a single person which on some part of their being does not require healing. I will clarify that point further because some people are so physically orientated they perceive people and their suffering on a basis of you look OK you must be OK. This perception can be likened to looking at a puddle of water and because it looks all right and then assuming that because the rest of the ocean is made of the same kind of stuff it must be the same, being absolutely oblivious to the rest of the entire ocean. We are a very complicated beings comprising of many different parts some of which are the mental self, the subconscious, the Physical self and the spiritual self. I will leave it up to the reader to discover the parts of themselves and their true importance to their well beings. During the healing process as a general rule people should simply relax, all sorts of sensations may be felt typically heat, cold, energy, sometimes even noises from your body. Who is suitable for healing? All people at all stages of their life especially the terminally ill;Animals even plants seem to respond. Will one session be enough? Sometimes but probably a series may be the answer. Will healing cure me? All healing from all sources be it Doctor, drugs, etc comes under the law of Karma. There are no guarantees that healing from any source may give the effect which the Desiree wishes. However it has been my experience that even if you do not get the effect you desire, on some part of your being you most very probably will receive some healing, even it is just upliftment. Which can be extremely valuable Harry Edwards was one such channel who was told to concentrate on the next person he hears about who is sick. A case arrived one who had TB who was dying .He concentrated on that person with his mind and within 24 hrs the bleeding had stopped the pain had stopped and the temperature had come down to almost normal. The Doctors attending were amazed, the man returned to work in a short time. More cases followed, people came with Cancer, Consumption and other blights. Of notable healing was a boy with Spinal Meningitis and who was dying. Harry sought healing for the boy and within a short period of time the boy's parents were astonished to find their boy sitting up in bed, the doctors looking on in amazement. A growing queue was starting to form at his house and mail started to arrive. But what truly amazed harry was the use of Absent healing where the healing was sent by thought, the patient was not even present but it seemed even more effective. To cope with the growing demands of his work he set up a healing sanctuary at Burrows lea in surrey and his secretaries started answering the hundreds of letters which came each day. He was in constant demand to give talks all over England. Then on one day he had the great urge to demonstrate what he could do before an audience ``is there anyone suffering from Arthritis''? he asked. Hands shot up from all over the auditorium, which started off the public healing. The demonstrations grew, a thousand people attended a demonstration at Croydon and typically Harry would treat Arthritis, Spinal curvature, Deafness and poor sight. One lady who had not been able to walk for three years was given healing, after a few minutes of healing she walked down the aisle much to the audience's delight. A child of six had her spinal curvature straightened much to people's amazement. Gradually over the years of healing he drew together the letters and testimonials and presented them in an incredible book called The evidence for Spiritual Healing which contained ten thousand cures, yes that's right ten thousand . Newspapers captured the signs with headlines like `'Sight restored after seventeen years'' `'the Deaf hear'' `'After healing the cripple danced'' `'Paralysed children walk off the stage unaided''and so on. He would make the point quite clear that Spiritual Healing was not faith healing and if it were so young babies and mental cases with no comprehension about faith would not even respond. On another occasion Harry was called before a panel of Doctors who presented him with their very own patients. The first patient had Disseminated Sclerosis and came in with two helpers. On the first treatment mobility was restored to the spastic spine then co- ordination of the leg movements followed, she responded well and started to walk, the session ended with the Doctors asking for healing for their own personal troubles. Then royalty sought him out Princess Marie Louise granddaughter of Queen Victoria sought healing for Arthritis and she was instrumental in the royals attending the sanctuary. In less than five years Harry had received no less than one million letters and in less than seven years over forty thousand people attended the sanctuary. In the thirty years from the time he moved to Burrows lea up to his passing in 1976 he received an average of 9000 letters a week .In over thirty years he received over 14 million letters from patients. Harry passed to the other side of life in 1976 but not before teaching Ray and Joan branch how to continue with the good work at Burrows lea where they still are today. Happily now Spiritual healers are used quite extensively in the N.H.S, in fact they are in over 1500 hospitals and at long last a lot of churches have finally complied with what the master told them to do two thousand years ago and that is to go forth and heal the sick. In the year 2000 even our prince Charles published a report stating that spiritual healers should be extensively available throughout the entire NHS. Over 7000 healers are now registered to treat patients in the health system. I know of no cases where spiritual healing when given by a trained healer has been detrimental in any way, I know of no side effects except better health. Just a few reports – " When I had finished treating him, it was a real delight to see how wonderfully glad he was to be able to use his legs, feet, arms and hands again... and then he told me: " When I came here, I was convinced no one could help me, and I came only to please my Aunt, who brought me. " You worked a miracle with his father when he was very ill 1983-84 when I wrote to you, but you will be pleased to know he is now working for the Council and lives a fairly normal life. " You and the late Harry Edwards helped me so often and indeed I am still pressing on 18 years after I was expected to die from my last bout of cancer. " " On behalf of my mother, daughter and myself may I thank you for the lovely day at your Sanctuary last Tuesday. My mother is so much better it is truly amazing. She can stretch out her arms and even raise them to her head and her walking is much stronger. My daughter was very impressed, too. " My condition improved in as much as I now have much more self- confidence and ability to deal with my everyday life. Reiki, Millions of people are aware of this fantastic healing energy and there are literally thousands of healers [channels for this energy]. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means " God's Wisdom or the Higher Power " and Ki which is " life force energy " . So Reiki is actually " spiritually guided life force energy. " A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the person including body, emotions, mind and spirit and creates many beneficial effects including relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well being. Many have reported miraculous results. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that a lot of people can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and can create a very beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques sometimes to relieve side effects and promote recovery. An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during an " attunement " given by a Reiki master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of " life force energy " to improve one's health and enhance the quality of life. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds. The Reiki system of healing is a technique for transmitting this subtle energy to yourself and others. Reiki can restore energy balance and vitality by relieving the physical and emotional effects of unreleased stress. It can gently and effectively open blocked meridians, nadas and chakras, and clears the energy bodies, leaving one feeling relaxed and at peace. Reiki can accelerate healing. Assist the body in cleansing toxins. Balance the flow of subtle energy by releasing blockages. Help the client contact the 'healer within.' A treatment feels like warm, gentle sunshine, which flows through you, surrounds you and comforts you. Reiki treats the person's body, emotions, mind and spirit as a whole. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that most people can use. Reiki is powerful, yet wonderfully gentle and nurturing. During a treatment, the clients usually remain fully clothed. Reiki is an effective alternative, or complement to massage therapy. Reiki can support any medical or supplemental healing methods a client may be using and is of growing interest to chiropractors, medical doctors, physiotherapists, psychotherapists, psychologists and hypnotherapists. In fact it is in use by quite a few doctors. A Brief History of Reiki. The history of Reiki, like all other histories, is tainted with different views of the one event. Reiki is seemingly an ancient form of healing that was lost and then rediscovered, during a mystical experience, by Dr. Mikao Usui who was a Japanese psychic. In 1922 Dr. Usui started a healing society in Japan. He created three degrees (or levels) for Reiki healing and initiated a small number of followers. One of his followers, Dr. Hayashi, a retired naval officer, was charged with preserving Reiki. He did this and further developed the Usui system. He gave the knowledge to his wife and to Mrs. Hawayo Takata. Mrs. Takata practiced Reiki healing and initiated twenty-two people into Reiki mastership Today, Reiki is known and practiced in many parts of the world and is increasing in popularity and acceptance. One problem a student might have in learning Reiki is the existence of different Reiki schools, giving different attitudes and different symbols by different teachers. All that is required is a genuine desire for spiritual growth and an open mind. Reiki Research There are now quite a few experiments that validate the usefulness of Reiki and other vibrational healing techniques. The following are few of the more interesting experiments. A registered nurse describes a Reiki experiment she conducted in her paper, " Reiki Healing: A Physiologic Perspective. " In her study, forty-eight people made up the experimental group while 10 made up a control group. Both groups had blood samples taken at the beginning and at the end of the experiment. The experimental group received First Degree Reiki training. The control group was not involved in the Reiki training. The blood samples were measured for hemoglobin and hematocrit values. Hemoglobin is the part of red blood cells that carry oxygen. Hematocrit is the ratio of red blood cells to total blood volume. The people in the experimental group who received Reiki training experienced a significant change in these values with 28 percent experiencing an increase and the remainder experiencing a decrease. The people in the control group who did not receive Reiki training experienced no significant change. It is thought that changes, whether an increase or decrease are consistent with the purpose of Reiki which is to bring balance on an individual basis. One individual experienced a 20% increase in these values. She continued to treat herself with Reiki daily and after three months, her increase had been maintained and in fact had continued to improve. This improvement was appropriate for her as she had been experiencing iron deficiency anemia. Another experiment using a Reiki like technique has also demonstrated its ability to increase hemoglobin values. A medical doctor conducted an experiment with a group of 79 sick patients. Together the patients had a wide range of diagnosed illnesses including pancreatitis, brain tumor, emphysema, multiple endocrine disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, and congestive heart failure. Laying-on hands treatments were given to 46 patients with 33 as controls. The treated patients showed significant increases in hemoglobin values. The effect was so pronounced that even cancer patients who were being treated with bone marrow-suppressive agents which predictably induce decreases in hemoglobin values showed an increase. The majority of patients also reported improvement or complete disappearance of symptoms. Both this experiment and the one above, demonstrate that healers are able to induce actual biological improvements in the patients they treat rather than simply create a feeling of well being. Laying-on hands healing has been validated by experiments carried out at St. Vincent's medical Center in New York. The experiment was carried out by Janet Quinn, assistant director of nursing at the University of South Carolina. The design of this experiment tends to rule out the placebo effect. Thirty heart patients were given a 20 question psychological test to determine their level of anxiety. Then they were treated by a group trained in laying-on hands healing. A control group of patients were also treated by sham healers who imitated the same positions as those who had training. Anxiety levels dropped 17 percent after only five minutes treatment by trained practitioners, but those who were only imitating a treatment created no effect. Daniel Wirth of Healing Sciences International in Orinda, California conducted a tightly controlled experiment involving a Reiki-like healing technique. Forty-four male college students received identical minor wounds deliberately inflicted by a doctor in the right or left shoulder. Twenty-three then received a Reiki like healing and the other twenty- one did not. The treatments were given in such a way that the possibility of a placebo effect was ruled out. All forty-four students extend their arms though a hole in the wall. In the other room, a trained healer was present for those who received healing and administered healing from a distance without touching. For those who did not receive healing, no one was present in the room. Both the students and the doctor who administered the wounds and later also evaluated their healing rate had been told that the experiment was about the electrical conductivity of the body. Neither knew that the experiment was about healing. Eight and sixteen day follow-up measurements of the rate of wound healing were done. After eight days, the treated groups wounds had shrunk 93.5 percent compared with 67.3 percent for those not treated. After sixteen days, the figures were 99.3 and 90.9. After debriefing, the students stated they did not know the true nature of the experiment and had felt no contact with the healer. The possibility that expectations of the students caused the healing was ruled out. Dr. John Zimmerman of the University of Colorado using a SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) has discovered that magnetic fields several hundred times stronger than background noise are created around the hands of trained healers when doing healing work on patients. No such fields are created by sham' healers making the same movements indicating something special is happening with the trained healers. The frequencies of the magnetic fields surrounding the hands of the trained healers were of the alpha and theta wave range similar to those seen in the brain of meditators. Dr. Barnard Grad of McGill University in Montreal, used barley seeds to test the effect of psychic healing energies on plants. The seeds were planted in pots and watered with a saline solution, which is known to retard their sprouting and growth. With elaborate double- blind conditions set-up, one group of seeds were watered with saline solution that had been treated by a psychic healer. Dr. Grad carried out similar experiments involving tap water and plants. Sealed containers of water were given to a psychic healer to hold and others were given to a severely depressed patient to hold. The plants watered with the healer-held water had an increased growth rate and those watered with the water held by the severely depressed patient had a decrease in growth rate compared to controls. These experiments involving plants, in addition to confirming the non-placebo nature of psychic healing, scientifically confirm the ancient metaphysical understanding that healing energies can be stored in water for future use. In another experiment involving psychic healer Olga Worrall, Dr. Robert Miller used an electromechanical transducer to measure the microscopic growth rate of rye grass. The device used has an accuracy of one thousandth of an inch per hour. Dr. Miller set-up the experiment in his laboratory and then left, locking the door behind him to eliminate any unnecessary disturbance. Olga, located over 600 miles away was asked to pray for the test plant at exactly 9 PM that evening. When Dr. Miller returned to the laboratory the next day, the test equipment had recorded normal continuous growth of 6.25 thousandths of an inch per hour up to 9 PM. At that time, the record began to deviate upward and had risen to 52.5 thousands of an inch per hour which was an increase of 840 percent! This increased growth rate remained till morning when it decreased but never to its original level. The Spindrift group has done extensive research involving prayer and plants. Their results indicate that prayed for plants always grow faster and are healthier than non-prayed for plants even though the conditions are equal for both groups of plants and those doing the praying are miles away. These results were consistent regardless of the distance involved and occurred over and over. They are described by Robert Owen in his book, " Qualitative Research: The early years " : One of the interesting results of their research work is that they were best when the prayer was non-directional, that is when the prayer was simply for the plants general well-being, rather than for a specific result, such as a certain growth rate or overall height. More experiments are being done and scientific theories are being developed to describe Reiki and Reiki like healing techniques. As we continue into the millennium, increasing interest along with more sensitive equipment will allow science to more completely understand, validate, and accept the reality of Reiki. As this happens, we will see increasing use of Reiki and other laying-on hands healing coming into common use by individuals for themselves and family along with its use in hospitals and doctors offices. The deeper understanding about the nature of health and the unity of all life this re-discovered age old wisdom will provide will reduce suffering and make earth a more worthwhile place to live. With this in mind, let us be encouraged to continue in the spirit of Reiki to help others and to heal the planet. Practitioners have some real interesting stories. Reiki can also enhances natural abilities. If you are an artist, it can help develop your artistic expression. If you have an intuitive sense, Reiki can heighten that. If you have a business head, Reiki can enhance that as well. In the practice of Reiki, working with energy helps you to connect with your path, your skills, and develop your senses. But it takes practice and trusting what you feel. Reiki is also present in some hospitals. Reiki has been applied to these conditions and more with very beneficial results. There are a lot more applications of Reiki – see there web site for more information. http://www.reikimedresearch.com/ ADDICTIONS (drugs and alcohol) Addictions and suicidal behavior Appendicitis Arthritis (osteo-, rheumatoid) Add/adhd Aids /HIV Burns Cancer all types Cervical dysphasia Childbirth Chronic fatigue syndrome & fibromyalgia Coma –phenomenal result Croons Depression Diabetes Dyslexia Eye sight Endometriosis Heart conditions -saved surgery Hypothyroidism Insomnia –results good Leukemia -recovered Lupus-improvements Mole – fell off Migraine- pain free Multiple sclerosis – beneficial results Neuropathy Pagets - beneficial results Pain relief – very beneficial Paralysis- beneficial results recovered Polyps –surgery cancelled Prenatal condition- child born healthy Psoriasis 70% cleared Seizure beneficial Shingles- patient in remission Karuna Reiki Laura gifford gives some interesting differences between reiki and Karuna Reiki and says that Reiki increases the awareness of the way God works in life. Usui Reiki, is the connection to the highest and most holy spiritual energies. Usui Reiki is unconditional Love. Usui Reiki is gentle and peaceful, but very powerful. Usui Reiki is a conduit for Karuna Reiki® to flow through. When receiving Karuna: Karuna Reiki® is very serious, let's get down to business energy. Karuna Reiki® energy goes very deep, gently, but quickly. She describes vibrating at a rapidly increasing rate, feeling like more light than I am flesh. The first few times she received a Karuna treatment she describes rising out of her body, and was taken into the symbols used. One repeated occurrence has been that she has seen flashes of traumatic experiences in this life, and from other times. They appeared as if I am looking through a picture window. The image briefly comes into focus so she was clear on what she was seeing, and then a beam of white and gold light pierces the images and shatters them into zillions of pieces, which immediately become pure light. When she had these experiences she also felt and at times saw physical releases within my body. She experienced deep physical and emotional healing. She describes Karuna being profoundly transformational for her as Usui Reiki and she felt that it had come into her life to assist her in her growth. She says how multi-dimensional Karuna feels to her. She felt it working simultaneously on the emotional, mental and physical bodies, and it has her me layers in her energy field and within her consciousness that go beyond anything she can intellectually comprehend. Karuna Reiki® takes her to that space beyond form, color, time and sound that just cannot be described within the constraints of words except perhaps, the purest sense of peace, and total love she have ever felt. Those words don't even do it justice. She also had sensations of Karuna Reiki® reaching into other times, connecting with karmic issues, and flashing through incarnations linking them and bringing the related lessons to her conscious awareness, and offering her the opportunity to transmute it in the moment. So in this sense, she felt it very gracefully transcends time and space on many levels simultaneously. She also used Karuna Reiki® to do spirit release work with others. phil Assimilation and elimination These are the two key stones of what makes us tick in fact Edgar cayce said if we could control these aspects of the human form we could extend life to whatever we chose, that's how important these two principles are. Assimilation is defined as the measure of the ability of any body to utilize foods that we eat, some people think that having massive doses of food will give them all that they need, they could not be more wrong, it is all right shoving nutrition in but it is quite another thing if the body can absorb it and use it in that form. Typical assimilation rates might vary from 20% to 80% and nutrition supplied in some forms will not be absorbed at all. That means out of every 454 grams of food you might only absorb 20-80% of that What happens to the food after you swallow it depends to a large degree on the other three principles of your body namely circulation, relaxation and elimination. Circulation is crucial if assimilation is to maintained at high levels circulation is helped greatly by some important factors; Exercise, especially cardiovascular apparently something like 50 or so times as many blood vessels open up when exercising than just sitting .WE have something like 60,000 miles of vessels mostly capillary type so you can imagine the effect of increased blood flow means massage, hydrotherapy treatments and osteopathic adjustments because the blood stream carries the rebuilding forces to the body it is these channels which need to be clear and stimulated so that the blood will flow to feed the cells and tissues. Elimination Every thing which your body does, every activity produces waste and we get rid of that waste through the skin, the lungs, the kidneys and the intestines. Major problems start to occur when any of these important channels are stopped from doing their job, we start to accumulate waste, bacteria start growing at alarming rates which leads to all sorts of problems as we become toxic. Imagine not cleaning up the kitchen very often –leaving waste –what would happen, your kitchen would become literally alive with all sorts of creepy bacteria etc the same with our bodies. The fact that poor elimination's are the most cited cause of disease within the Edgar cayce research papers totaling over 14000 gives you some idea just how important this aspect really is. It gives you an idea of the importance of getting rid of toxins, rid of waste from our bodies. Some of the diseases which elimination problems either cause or play a big and major part include. Arthritis Acne Anemia Apoplexy-stroke Appendicitis Asthenia Asthma Atrophy Balding-poor circulation Bladder stricture Blepharitis Some cases of blindness Boils Brain tumors –poor circulation Bronchitis Bursitis Cancers and tumors Skin cancer Canker sores and herpes simplex Cataracts Cirrhosis Colds Colic-poor assimilation Colitis Colon impaction Complexion problems Cystitis Cysts Some cases of deafness Dermatitis Eczema Edema Enteritis Feet swelling Gall bladder –gall stones Haliosis-bad breath Headaches general Hemorrhoids Hepatitis Hernia Herpes zoster Unwanted hair Indigestion Insomnia Iritis Kidney problems Laryngitis Leukemia Lumbago Lupus Lymphangitis Malaria Measles Menopause problems Migraine Some cases of myopia Polyps Nephritis Neuritis Oophoritis Phlebitis Pneumonia problems Poison ivy Prostatitis Pruritus Psoriasis Purpura Pyorrhea Rheumatic fever Sarcoma Sciatica Rheumatism Scolliosis –eliminations were a cause and an effect Seborrhea Skin ulcers Female/ male sterile Streptococcus infection Tic douloureux Tonsillitis Torticollis Ulcers Vaginitis Varicose veins Vertigo-some cases Xeroderma Other comments .. (Q) What can I take to make eggs and milk digest? (A) Rather cleanse the system, and we will find that this will add considerably to the ability of the system to produce the correct balance of the gastric flows for digestion. The adding of the general strength will aid. (Q) What can be done to conquer the many allergies to certain fruits and vegetables that I am afflicted with? Is the cause psychological? (A) Cleanse the system! These arise from toxic conditions through the alimentary canal. (Q) What will stop the tendency to itching piles?(A) Clean the system! And then, whenever there is the necessity, use Pazo Ointment Keep up those of the Glycothymoline , that will reduce the amount of gas and acts as an antiseptic. (Q) What causes night mares and lack of sleep?Toxic forces or poisons in the system. (Q) What causes swelling of knee? (A) Toxic poisons in the body, the lack of proper eliminations through alimentary canal. (Q) what causes the pain in my hip? (A) The unbalanced conditions through pressures from poisons in the system. As indicated, as the system is cleansed and the pressures are removed, with corrections in the cerebrospinal system, the whole of the way through, these disturbing conditions will disappear. (Q) What causes his fevers or slight temperature so often during each day, followed by sweats at night? Cayce said (A) A natural effect of uric poisoning in the system, not being eliminated properly. So if you are suffering from any of these complaints it is highly likely that you could be helped by increasing your bodies ability to rid itself of toxins and wastes. It is as simple as that. Phenomenal results have been obtained from increasing your eliminations. People's lives have literally been turned around, OK so what can you do to boost those all important elimination's. just like we wash each day to keep clean , occasionally we need to have an internal bath too. These are called enemas and colonics, cayce even said one should have a colonic every few months to stay in tip top shape. I think it was john Wayne who when he died was carrying over 40lbs of dead matter inside his insides. Benefits A Boosted immune system, Improved functioning of the digestive system Increased hydration means improved concentration, Increased energy levels, Improved sense of well being, Restful sleep The benefits of detoxifying your body are both short and long term. Immediately after detoxifying you might notice increased mental awareness, more energy, more comfortable digestion of foods, and better absorption of nutrients, as well as an overall feeling of better health. Long-term benefits can be a reduction of chronic illnesses A gentle cleansing can benefit the body in many ways including improved health, mental clarity, restful sleep and recharged vitality. The emergence of your true inner beauty will become as clear as your skin, eyes and shining hair. It is not possible to use an enema as such, in people who have a colostomy or ileostomy one of the most vital elements in our bodies. Most people are shocked to learn that the average person holds between 5 and 10 pounds of putrefied faecal matter and other foul material in the body. The bowel walls become encrusted with un-eliminated faecal matter, creating a " catch 22 " situation. Not only does this toxic material hamper the absorption of vital nutrients through the intestinal wall and provide a breeding ground for unhealthy bacteria, but it also causes the blood capillaries lining the intestinal wall to begin absorbing these toxins into the bloodstream, consequently polluting all of our organs The UK is said to have the highest incidence of bowel cancer in the world with about 20,000 new cases per year. One in three people consulting their doctors have bowel problems, such as diverticulitis, Colitis, Crohn's Disease, and Candida infections. A major part of these problems will be due to neglected inner hygiene. Infants are a perfect example. Ask any mother for proof—a baby will eat and immediately eliminate. Their new digestive systems have not had time to develop the mal-absorption problems caused by improper diet, environmental toxins and stress. Faulty digestion and elimination develop in an individual through the years of improper lifestyle and dietary habits. According to Dr Bernard Jensen, the famous American naturopath, after working with more than 350,000 patients over a 50-year span, not one of them was free from some form of bowel disorder. He concluded that all sick people have bowel problems and all sick people are tired and toxin laden. Dr Jensens Guide to Better Bowel Care. Medical autopsies have revealed that impacted waste and blockages to parts of the bowel that usually have a diameter of up to 20cm, have only a 1cm passage for the waste to pass through. It is not surprising that the incidence of bowel disease and bowel cancer is on the increase. Michael Gearin-Tosh is a fellow of St Catherine's College in the University of Oxford. He has famously achieved long-term survival with myeloma, an aggressive cancer with an average survival of one year. Living Proof is his remarkable story, diagnosed with cancer when he was fifty-four, Michael refused the immediate treatment consultants urged him to undergo and embarked on his own quest to overcome the illness. His quest led him to embarking in Gerson Therapy, of which coffee enemas are a daily and integral part of his treatment. Many years on he maintains a daily regime incorporating them, and has remained in remission against overwhelming odds. Methods of elimination and detoxing Various methods can be employed in this role Lymph massage Better lymph movement. Lymph is a milky white fluid that drains impurities and waste away from the tissue cells. A component of these wastes is toxins which are the by-products of metabolism. So, it is a vital to our health. Muscular contraction has a pumping effect that moves lymph. Massage and exercise help to move lymph. Lymph massage technique developed by Danish medical doctor E. Vodder and his wife in 1932. Vodder, who also discovered and developed a new branch of medicine called Lymphology, created this method primarily to treat patients with swollen necks or limbs due to poor lymph flow. He applied a series of particular rhythmic, light strokes along the lymphatic vessels and surrounding tissues to help the flow of lymph toward the heart thus reduce swelling in the affected area. Fasting is one of the best methods of getting rid of toxins, but this too requires similar supervision when it is undertaken for more than a day or two. Supplementation with nutrients, especially sodium- ascorbate Regular emptying of the bowels is an all-important element in the treatment of toxicity. Diet changes may be needed to improve the function of the bowel. In addition massage movements to the abdomen and in particular to the colon will reduce constipation and in so doing speed up the elimination of toxins. Digestion is also improved with the massage and with this the metabolism of nutrients and antioxidants which are needed to neutralise the toxicity. Further assistance is provided by the transportation of lymphocytes and phagocytes which takes place with the enhanced blood circulation and lymph flow. Improving the liver function A major function of the liver is to destroy worn-out blood cells, bacteria and toxic substances. It also removes drugs like penicillin, ampicillin, erythromycin and sulfonamides. The liver is said to be a semi-solid organ which is encased by a fibrous capsule. As it is largely protected by the rib cage direct manipulation is limited to its lower borders. The organ is however influenced by external pressures such as those exerted by the diaphragm from above, an adjoining viscerus or indeed that of palpation. With the squeezing massage movement described here sufficient pressure is exerted through the tissues to influence its circulation. Massage can also assist the portal circulation to the liver through the hepatic portal vein. It also increases the oxygenated blood supply to the liver via the hepatic artery. Circulation is also enhanced along the lobes of the liver, the central and hepatic veins, and to the superior vena cava. Secretion of bile is augmented to some extent by the advanced blood flow and by the mechanical pressure of the technique. A Liver Cleanse. The Liver— " Factory of Life " . As the largest and hardest working organ in the body, the liver is the main biochemical factory in our bodies, continually processing and synthesizing nutrients, in an attempt to meet the needs of the body and homeostasis. The liver performs a host of essential functions, such as carbohydrate and protein metabolism, storage of vitamins and minerals, and the removal, storage, and excretion of toxic substances from the blood. Of course exercise pays a very important role here driving out wastes into the lungs and speeding up circulation, helping digestion, helping elimination of wastes through the skin. Cayce used certain foods to help elimination such as leafy vegetables and in the mornings or evenings stewed figs, raisons, apricots or pears occasionally. A great deal of elimination takes place through the lungs by means of deep breathing and cayce placed great emphasis on this aspect recommending some of the breathing techniques as used in yoga. Circulation Just impeding the flow to the brain for a few minutes will cause permanent brain damage such is the importance of good circulation. The blood feeds our cells our tissues, the better the circulation the better we feel .For all the bodies rebuilding forces come through quicker with good circulation. Not only does the blood carry the so important chemicals, which feed our cells, but also the lymphatic system carries away our wastes. Exercise helps circulation in a big way as does massage hydrotherapy, osteopathy and other manipulative therapies. The cayce detox Cayce 3 day apple diet In extreme cases of toxemia cayce recommended a controlled fast or a three-day apple diet to clear the system and restore balance. That is for three days eat nothing but apples johnathon s ,oregon reds and the like and on the third day 2 teaspoons of olive oil . I have done it and many others reports indicate feelings of euphoria in many people. Recommended in hundreds of readings was the cayce detox, the elimination process was found to be poor in thousands of people and the subsequent build up of toxins and poisons was found in hundreds of people. The cayce detox was to help rid the body of these wastes. As the lay person can easily appreciate the situation in your very own kitchen if you did not clean up after every meal, bacteria would have a great time multiplying and contaminating places every where. So many thousands of people have been helped greatly by helping the body get rid of waste the importance of this action cannot be overestimated. Cayce prescribed the three day apple diet where for three days you would eat nothing but apples of the sheep nosed type preferably organic types like Johnathons, Delicious, Oregon reds, Arkansas black and water. At the end of the third day a two spoons full of olive oil was taken. 'We would use first the apple diet to purify the system; that is, for three days eat nothing but apples of the Jonathan variety if possible. This includes the Delicious, which is a variety of the Jonathan. The Jonathan is usually grown farther north than the Delicious, but these are of the same variety, but eat some. You may drink coffee if you desire, but do not put milk or cream in it, especially while you are taking the apples. 5. At the end of the third day, the next morning take about two able spoonsful of Olive Oil.' Reading 0780-01 We would cleanse the alimentary canal as related to the effect of the gastric flow through the stomach and throughout the duodenum. This may be done through the cleansing by the method of the APPLE DIET - RAW Apples; requiring about three days. Eat nothing but raw apples, you see, for three days - each meal for three days. Then at bedtime on the evening of the third day, take half a cup (teacup) of Pure Olive Oil. .. Then leave off this diet, but it may be repeated once a month for two or three months; three days each month, you see, and then left off.' Reading 1622-00 What Apply Variety should be used? '...Those that pertain to those activities of the Jonathan variety of the apple, or the jenneting; the Black Arkansas, the Oregon Red, (which are the ones you have here), the Sheepnose, the Delicious, the Arkansas Russet; any of those that are of the jenneting variety.' Reading 0294-18 Q) Why did the Apple Diet fail and was it harmful? (A) As we find, this would not have failed if there had not been the needs for undue changes during those periods. It is often necessary for this to be repeated more than once, to become really effective. Reading 1158-03 The success that people described having done this regime was uplifting, revitalizing, feeling great, an euphoric feeling, greater mental clarity and physically more energy. It is one of the most effective ways of preventing disease. In fact cayce said that it would cleanse all toxic forces from any body. According to Harold reillys book he himself tried to detox three times a year. Massage Frequently prescribed by cayce in hundreds of readings, massage has been used for thousands of years with extremely good effects, some of the benefits are increased circulation, increased elimination. It can provide relaxation or stimulation depending on how it is given it can help with emotionally affected people and children have developed better from its use it will help with depression and a hundred more complaints. It affects every part of the body –nerves organs, glands, circulation and muscular tone. Massage will help all people and cayce advised having one from thirty minutes to an hour and a half-using cold pressed peanut and olive oil at least once a week. It can free up joints, relieve pain and soreness. Cayce often said that the person giving the massage have some affinity with the patient. It can also build bridges of brotherly or sisterly love between people. Children with major behavioral problems have shown marked improvements in their behavior. Cayce said those who would take a peanut oil rub each week need never fear arthritis. Other means of increasing elimination's are utilising osteopathic adjustments but you will need a specialist to do this in the main but this is one of the best methods apparently. Many times cayce said that adjustments were necessary as the ganglia feeding organs had somehow become impeded and needed to be adjusted , this caused pain and slowing circulation . Hydrotherapy is another method used to aid eliminations through the skin and takes the form as a sweat bath with certain chemicals added to the vapor. Colonics/ enemas The colon, or large intestine, measuring some 5ft in length and 2½ inches in diameter, is an important part of the digestive system. It handles most of our food and body waste and is essential to maintaining good health. - When the colon is not functioning efficiently there will be a build up of toxic waste, which through re-absorbtion into the blood stream, can lead to self-poisoning. It is estimated that 80% of all critical illnessess result from colon malfunction. In the UK cancer of the colon is second only to heart disease as the most common cause of death. - Most diets include dairy, sugar, flour and other mucous-forming foods; and even those of us on good diets will have old, hardened accumulations of mucoid deposits, which hinder proper elimination. Apart from the health risks this can leave you feeling bloated, overweight and lethargic. - The importance of a healthy colon is not new. It was recognised even by the ancient Egyptians, who were reputed to have practiced Colonic Irrigation as long ago as 1500BC. Colonic Hydrotherapy is an internal bath which: helps cleanse the colon of poisons, gases, accumulated faecal matter and mucous deposits; provides relief from bloating and constipation, toxic headaches, eczema, depression, painful haemorrhoids and skin problems; and reduces risk of bowel disease, enabling better absorption of nutrients - leading to improved all-round health. In Russia however, it remains standard procedure in all hospitals and clinics to administer a thorough colonic cleansing to all patients, regardless of their ailments, immediately upon entering any hospital. Russian physicians realize that no cure for any ailment can be properly administered to a filthy, highly toxic body, which simply cannot assimilate and utilize medications. Nor does a body devitalized by chronic toxemia have sufficient strength and energy to fully recover from such radical procedures as anaesthesia, surgery and chemical therapy. As a case in point for colonics, take pneumonia. At the turn of the century, before cancer and heart disease replaced it, pneumonia was the biggest killer in America. Back then, Dr. J.H. Tilden of Denver, Colorado, who specialized in pneumonia and treated more patients for this disease than any other physician on record, never lost a single patient to this dreaded ailment. He achieved his remarkable record by relying entirely on fasting and colonic irrigations, followed by strict diets of raw natural foods. Today, pneumonia still takes a heavy toll among the elderly and weak, despite all the modern drugs used to treat it. (HPS editors note: interesting, no? yes?, what do you think?) Herbal colon detox products won't remove the accumulated toxic debris from you colon or small intestines. Nor will enemas. Colonic irrigations are a must because the impacted mucus sticks to the walls of the colon like Velcro. Therefore a continuous flow coupled with fairly large quantities of water are needed to release it for evacuation off the colon walls and out of the colon. Otherwise only very small amounts will be eliminated, negligible amounts. When it is released from the colon the HPS-ONLINE way, your energy levels rise immediately- most times within days, but sometimes it can take weeks. No two bodies are the same. At best enemas flush out the rectum and a small part of the descending colon; but they do nothing for the transverse and ascending portions where years of afoul debris, toxic waste, and impacted feces have accumulated. Comments such as Through the alimentary canal we find a great deal of disturbance produced by gas in the lower portion of the jejunum and through the colon area. This would be better aided by a series of high colonic irrigations being taken. But these would have to be scientifically given, so as to cleanse the colon without producing a great deal of inflammation. Hence there should be used an antiseptic solution for the colonics. Put a heaping teaspoonful of table salt and a level teaspoonful of baking soda to each half gallon of water used for the first cleansing. Use a tablespoonful of Glyco-Thymoline to the half gallon of rinse water used last. Have the water body temperature, not colder not hotter, and it will not be a drain on the body. The first two colonics we would have within a period of ten days, then they may be made about ten days apart. We would have sufficient of these to cleanse the colon, so that there is no mucous in same. Michael Gearin-Tosh, the author of Living Proof (ISBN 0-7432-0680-0) As I prescribe in my book Living Proof, coffee enemas have played a crucial part in my survival. I recommend them strongly and, contrary to what you may think, they are not disagreeable. They are soothing and invigorating. " Castor oil packs The most common way to use castor oil (and most objectionable, I might add) has been to take it orally. Generally, oral doses are used to correct constipation. The recommended dose is usually 1 tablespoon for adults and 1 teaspoon for children. You can usually expect a " purging " of the system in about four to six hours. Conditions Responding to Castor Oil Packs Applied to many areas especially around the stomach area Due to the many effects of its fatty acid component, ricinoleic acid, the use of castor oil can be used topically to treat a wide variety of health complaints. Such as Lymphatic Congestion Obviously, conditions known to be related to poor drainage of the lymphatic system will tend to benefit from this type of therapy. These would include complaints such as: 1. chronic fluid retention with swollen joints and pain 2. arthritis 3. upper respiratory infections involving the sinuses, tonsils and inner ear 4. colon problems like Crohn's disease or colitis 5. gallbladder disease 6. boils 7. liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, enlargement or congestion 8. menstrual-related congestion 9. appendicitis 10. hyperactivity 11. constipation, bowel impaction or adhesions 12. swollen lymph nodes 13. bladder and vaginal infections Neurological Problems Several neurological problems have also been responsive to castor oil. These include: 1. nerve inflammations such as sciatica, shingles, etc. 2. Parkinson's disease 3. multiple sclerosis 4. migraine headaches 5. cerebral palsy many ways, castor oil is a very unique substance. While most of us are familiar with its use as a remedy for constipation, folk healers in this country and around the world have used castor oil to treat a wide variety of conditions. Its effectiveness is probably due in part to its peculiar chemical composition. Castor oil is a triglyceride of fatty acids. Almost 90 percent of its fatty acid content consists of ricinoleic acid. To my knowledge, ricinoleic acid is not found in any other substance except castor oil. Such a high concentration of this unusual, unsaturated fatty acid is thought to be responsible for castor oil's remarkable healing abilities. Ricinoleic acid has been shown to be effective in preventing the growth of numerous species of viruses, bacteria, yeasts and molds. (J Am Oil Chem Soc 61;37.323-325.) This would explain the high degree of success in the topical use of the oil for treating such ailments as ringworm, keratoses (non-cancerous, wart-like skin growths), skin inflammation, abrasions, fungal-infected finger- and toenails, acne and chronic pruritus (itching). Generally, for these conditions the area involved is simply wrapped in cloth soaked with castor oil each night, or if the area is small enough, a castor oil soaked Band-Aid can be used. (For persistent infections and those finger- and toenails that have discolored and hardened, a good 10 to 20 minute soak in Epsom salts, prior to applying the castor oil, usually speeds up the healing process.) See http://www.edgarcaycehouston.org/Research.htm How to Make a Castor Oil Pack MATERIALS NEEDED FOR A CASTOR OIL PACK: White wool flannel (3 to 4 thicknesses of unbleached wool flannel, make wide enough to cover lower abdomen from 3 finger widths left of navel extending around the right side to cover the liver and about 10 inches long). Plastic sheet—medium thickness. Hot Water Bottle, Heat Lamp or Electric Heating Pad. Bath towel & two large safety pins. Instructions for use: A Castor Oil Pack is made by soaking the flannel in cold-pressed castor oil (heat processed oil doesn't have the same healing qualities) until it is evenly saturated with oil but not dripping. Additional oil will have to be added after each use to keep it saturated. It is a good idea to pre-warm the pack in a microwave oven on a medium setting for 1 minute or by placing the pack on a heating pad on high until it is warm. Place the Castor Oil Pack on the area to be treated next to the skin and a sheet of plastic over the Pack to keep the oil from soiling other things. Next, wrap a towel over the Pack and keep it in place with the safety pins. The usual time for a pack is I hour. It is a good idea to use a safe source of heat over the pack to drive the oil into the skin. Use a hot water bottle or a heat lamp for this purpose (a heating pad is not recommended because of the electromagnetic field it generates). Sometimes it is also necessary to keep the pack on all night, but do not use heat when using the pack this way. Cleanse the skin after using a Pack with warm water and baking soda. This is important because toxins can be pulled to the surface by the Pack and will be reabsorbed if not washed off. If the Pack shows dark stains after a use, discard it and use a fresh Pack the next time. Do not share Packs.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 *Also: adding Brewer's Yeast; Rice-Bran and Fish Oil will help. I highly recommend The Thiamine Vitamin B1 tablets to strenthen the heart. As mentioned; a biopsy would only weaken the heart muscles. The main course of the boy's diet should be Brown Rice daily. A Multi- Vitamin pill is helpful for the trace minerals. Nutrients will help. A Folic Acid and Mag found in Greens will activate the Thiamine Vit.
