sensation of something stuck in my throat

[Guest guest]

In December I took a Mucinex for a bad cold - first time - usually take

naturopathic remedies.

Anway since then I feel like something is stuck in the back of my throat. The

ENT doctor stuck a scope down my throat to check and said it's just probably

inflamed. He also said that I may have reflux and asked me if I wanted medicine

for it. I decline and hoped the inflammation would subside...

It is now March and I keep losing my voice. Do I really have reflux and is the

reflux inflaming the tissue in my throat.

Not sure what to do.

I'm a vegan and eat super healthy - no coffee, no soda, no alcohol, no

cigarettes...

 

Friend mentioned to take enzymes which I have, but need to do more regularly and

will...

 

Thanks for any ideas you may have.

Nia113,

 

It is possible that you could have LPR - Laryngopharyngeal Reflux and

researching the topic might lead you to resolution.

 

I have been diagnosed with LPR and yes, it's common to lose your voice or

become horse sounding. When I started taking digestive enzymes, removing

spicy, tomato based foods from my diet, not eating later than 6pm, the

problem has subsided.

It could also be thyroid, people with hashimoto's thyroid can have a feeling

of something stuck in your throat. also hiatal hernias also give that

feeling. I have both.

Either way, tonify spleen qi. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is the result

(generally) of spleen qi deficiency due to overwork. Hiatal hernia is the

result of speen qi deficiency not holding organs in place.

The main function of spleen qi is to promote digestion, but it also holds

organs in place, holds blood in the vessels, warms and promotes energy

generally. One of the big symptoms of spleen qi deficiency is lassitude.

I had the same thing happen and after years of scoping my throat, removing my

tonsils and having me on acid reflux medication, which I did not have, it turned

out to be an osteophyte, a small calcium deposit in my neck (not throat). No

one wants to touch it, so I still have it, 10 years later, and I feel it every

time I swallow.

 

Hyper active thyroid can also cause the feeling of a lump in the throat.

Dr Robert Beck Energetic-Medicine researcher

1925-2002

Dr Robert Beck was a physicist, who has to his name a PhD in physics from the

University of Southern California. Prior to USC Dr. Beck was a Professor at the

University of California. Dr. Beck is known as a renowned researcher and

inventor in the field of Energy Medicine devices. Amongst his achievements he is

accredited with a version of the Brain Tuner. This device has been successful in

helping to alleviate anxiety, addictions, insomnia and depression. As he

initially trained as a photojournalist he applied his inventive flair and

curiosity toward flash photography. He was the inventor of the strobe

flashlight.

 

He has been nominated by a Mexican hospital for the Noble Prize for his research

in developing an Aids cure.

 

Bob Beck formed his first company specialising in the development of a powerful

electroencephalograph unit. Through his company he conducted extensive research

on the electrical properties of the brain. From this research was born a

powerful electroencephalograph unit. After reading articles on a 'black box'

device, developed by a British surgeon, Dr. Margaret Patterson, he became

increasingly interested in the potential of electricity and the brain. Dr

Patterson had developed this 'black box' with Dr Wong of Hong Kong an expert in

electro-acupuncture. Though its inventors to help reduce symptoms of recovering

drug addicts used this black box, Beck saw other potential for this device.

 

Bob Beck used research and technology from the black box to develop his own

device. He called it the Brain Tuner. Based around the principal of frequencies

it used over 200 specific frequencies to encourage the rejuvenation, healing,

and rapid re-stimulation of the neuro-transmitters.

 

Bob Beck's research then led on to look at the effect of electrical frequency on

the lymphatic system. Working on the basis that many viral infections ay shelter

in the lymph nodes, he developed a magnetic pulse generator to induce

electricity in specific nodes around the body. Beck's work in this field led him

to do much work with HIV and AIDS patients. His studies also highlighted

ionic/colloidal silver as a natural antibiotic, providing a potential

alternative to the somewhat clumsy approach of pharmaceutical antibiotics. He

went on to elaborate his research by creating devices able to make

colloidal/ionic silver at home.

 

Bob Beck went on to lecture and give demonstrations at health trade shows around

North America. It was at one such show in Seattle, in 1996 that a couple (Russ

Torlage and Lesley Punt) came across Beck's device. Lesley Punt was suffering

from M.E. of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the couple were at the Seattle show

looking for possible ways to alleviate her condition. They took Beck's device

and redesigned it, making it an accessible tool for public use.

 

In pursuit of improving the affectivity of Beck's device Dr. Beck introduced a

protocol. Along with the both blood electrification the protocol also includes

the making of ionic/colloidal silver, and the ozonation of drinking water, thus

increasing the level of oxygen in the blood.

 

What is The Beck Protocol?

There are four parts to The Beck Protocol.

1. Microcurrent therapy for cleansing the blood

Over the years, while enjoying the fruits of a successful career as an acclaimed

physicist, Robert (Bob) C. Beck, D.Sc. maintained an interest in electro-therapy

for health. When he heard that viruses and other pathogens had been deactivated

in a medical research study by the application of microcurrents of electricity

to blood, his considerable intellect and ingenuity were aroused. While the

medical research suggested the application of microcurrents similar to dialysis

with the blood flowing out and then back into the body, Bob Beck developed a

system to apply microcurrents to blood without invading the body. He developed a

simple system for applying these microcurrents by placing electrodes over the

wrist arteries.

 

2. Magnetic pulsing for tissue electrification

After considerable experimentation on himself, friends, acquaintances and a few

individuals diagnosed with AIDS, all reaped some health benefit. Soon, however,

he realized that the blood might be cleared of viruses or other pathogens but

these same pathogens could be temporarily hiding in the lymph system. To create

the necessary microcurrents in lymph and tissue to neutralize viruses and other

pathogens, he developed a magnetic pulse generator. Pulsed magnetic fields

create microcurrents in lymph and other tissue.

 

3. Drinking ionic/colloidal silver

Bob explains how he awoke at 4:00 a.m. one morning with a sudden insight. He

knew colloidal silver had been used extensively prior to the advent of

antibiotics. He awoke with an insight on how to make colloidal silver

electrically—easily and inexpensively. Thus was born an industry for the

manufacture of home units to make colloidal silver. Ionic/colloidal silver is

made using 99.99% pure silver wires, distilled water and an electrical circuit.

 

4. Drinking freshly ozonated water

By this time, Bob Beck was on the lecture circuit at health shows to make his

discoveries known. At his lectures, he also provided papers with information

about his work and the schematics to build units. These lectures gave Bob an

opportunity to talk with many people who had either bought or built his units

and were using them to improve their health. One problem kept recurring. Many

experienced flu-like symptoms as a result of the die-off of the pathogens. The

body was not able to expel the toxins fast enough. Bob always stated the

importance of drinking enough water to help flush toxins but one day he realized

adding ozone to the water would speed the detoxification process. Ozone is a

great detoxifier but ozone was generally only available using expensive medical

devices. Bob visited a fish supply store as he knew they used ozone to keep the

fish tanks oxygenated. Eureka! Bob and his friends started freshly ozonating a

glass of water before drinking it. Bob used a pulse oxymeter on the finger to

measure blood oxygen saturation and discovered, water saturated with ozone would

increase the level of oxygen in the blood. Thus the fourth part of The Beck

Protocol was added—drinking freshly ozonated water to help flush toxins.

 

A big advantage of The Beck Protocol is that it can be used in the privacy of

your home. The effectiveness of The Beck Protocol has spread worldwide—largely

by word-of-mouth. People around the world have found the tools offered by The

Beck Protocol have helped them heal and recover … from minor ailments to

debilitating diseases. SOTA Instruments Inc. collects testimonials from

customers who use the units. We have published some of these testimonials in The

Beck Protocol Handbook.

Bob Beck gained confidence in SOTA Instruments as a company that offered a high

standard of quality. He endorsed SOTA as a supplier of units for The Beck

Protocol. For blood electrification and making ionic/colloidal silver, SOTA

offers The Silver Pulser. For lymph and tissue electrification, The Magnetic

Pulser. For freshly ozonating drinking water, The Water O3zonator. For making

ionic/colloidal silver only, The Silver Maker. See our Recommended Products

section.

See Electrifying Books & Videos section for a video How to Use The Beck

Protocol. This video features Dr. Eliezer Ben-Joseph, ND as host. With three

guests asking questions, he provides all you need to know to use the protocol at

home for personal health. The Beck Protocol Handbook package includes Beck's

original papers, testimonials and Bob's 1983 talk on The Brain Tuner. The

booklet Electricity for Health in the 21st Century is included with the package.

This booklet provides amazing insights into the electrical nature of the body

and the history of electro-therapy.

 

A new video, An Introduction to The Beck Protocol will be available in 2003. It

will offer health practitioners who have experience with the protocol,

individuals who have had profound healing experiences with the help of The Beck

Protocol and an interview with Robert C. Beck. The video includes lively

interviews exposing the politics of health as well.

See our Researchers to Know section for details about Bob Beck's electronic

instrumentation, brain research and more on the birth of The Beck Protocol.

EXACT MEANS AND METHODS FOR ELIMINATING INFECTIOUS DISEASES and CANCER

Copyright 1998 Robert C. Beck, D.Sc. January 14, 1998

(The complete process is described here in detail to allow anyone to

successfully achieve recoveries and insure that the currently proven methods

will never again be " lost " or suppressed.)

WHAT YOU DO:

1. Apply salt-water moistened electrodes over Ulnar and Radial arteries on

opposite insides of same wrist. A Velcro® and elastic strap holds electrodes

in place. You must electrify blood for one to two hours every day for three

weeks. This should not interfere with other activities. As your blood circulates

normally, enough will be flowing along this path in forearm until most blood in

your body is eventually treated by the 50 to 100 microampere current flowing

internally. About 3 to 5 milliamperes is necessary at the skin to overcome

resistive losses through tissue before current reaches blood.

2.

Drink 8 to 16 OZ of 3 to 5 ppm self-made Silver Colloid daily. Costing under 1

cent per gallon, colloids are shown to easily control opportunistic infections.

This gives you a second intact immune system. Colloids can be generated in the

same water while ozonizing.

 

3. Apply your magnetic pulse generator for about 20 minutes daily by positioning

and pulsing coil over lymph nodes and internal organs. Pulse each time it

recharges at several second intervals. Pulses of high intensity time-varying

magnetic flux generate a measurable back e.m.f. in adjacent tissue thus

neutralizing any residual germinating and incubating pathogens. Without this

step, sufferers have been known to sometimes reinfect themselves. Conventional

permanent magnets positively will not work.

4.

5. Drink as much ozonated water as you can comfortably ingest daily. You must

generate fresh ozone yourself each time and drink immediately since ozone has a

half-life of only a few minutes. All known pathogens and cancers are anaerobic.

Ozone aids their elimination by oxidation and speeds your detoxification and

recovery with no discomfort. Consuming ozone water flushes neutralized

pathogens, wastes and toxins from your system.

THESE FOUR STEPS WORK SYNERGISTICALLY AND ALMOST MAGICALLY AND SHOULD BE USED

TOGETHER. AVERAGE TIME FOR RECOVERY IS UNDER A MONTH.

 

EXACT

HOW AND WHY YOU must DO THIS:

1. The blood electrifier and silver colloid maker are usually combined in one

small plastic box, typically 3-3/4 " X 2-1/4 " X 1 " (cigarette pack size)

containing one outlet for wrist electrodes and a second outlet for colloid

making. A single 9 volt transistor radio battery drives a voltage tripler, and a

single-IC-chip switches the 27 volts from negative to positive 3.92 times each

second. A biphasic square wave with sharp rise time output is fed to a 3.5 mm

jack connecting to two 3/32 " stainless steel electrodes 1 " long each covered

with two layers of 100% cotton flannel saturated with dilute salt water. A

potentiometer allows users to adjust output until comfortable. Red and green

LED's show polarity reversal (essential for safe blood electrification) and

overall system functioning. A grain-of-wheat lamp indicates current flow when

making ionic colloid. Precise electrode locations are determined by carefully

feeling arterial pulse points on opposite insides of same wrist and positioning

saturated electrodes precisely along the paths where arteries come closest to

surface. Locations are critical, since objective is to supply maximal current

into blood and not waste it in surrounding flesh. Typical impedance measured

from electrode-to-electrode may be as low as 2000 ohms. Adjust output for

strongest comfortable level. Schematics, parts lists and detailed instructions

appear in [elsewhere in these lecture notes]. Anyone can build his own system:

you need buy nothing except replacement batteries. However commercially

available systems are inexpensive, reliable, and are usable immediately.

2.

3. Ionic Silver Colloids of excellent quality and freshness are easily user-made

as follows - Pure silver (99.9%) 14 gauge electrodes, providing anode and

cathode about 6 " long, are immersed in an 8 OZ glass of room-temperature water

(tap or distilled) and the 27 volt DC output is applied for about 3 minutes in

tap water and 20 minutes in distilled water or until water appears milky. Stir

and drink immediately two or three times daily. I ozonate the water while making

colloid and drink the combination immediately. Some prefer " golden " colloids,

easily made by using only heated (150 degrees F) distilled water in Pyrex

containers with electrodes activated for ~20 minutes. Store silver colloid in

dark brown bottles. Keep out of light and do not refrigerate.

1. MAGNETIC PULSER: This extremely useful tool neutralizes active, hibernating

or incubating pathogens being normally processed in lymph, spleen, liver, skin,

kidney, stomach muscles and other tissue. It is easily made by purchasing or

winding a ~2.5 millihenry coil and driving it with a 35 to 70 Watt-Second

(Joules) electronic flash or " strobe " . (A Joule is (1/2 CV^2) where C is in

microfarads and V is in Kilovolts.) A self-wound inductance coil of ~130 turns

of 14 or 16 gauge, plain enameled magnet wire works well. A 2.5 mH audio speaker

cross-over coil is prettier. The coil is simply wired between one electrode of

the strobe flash lamp and its capacitor. The device, if self-made, costs about

$27 and is vasty more powerful than $5000 to $7O00 commercial devices of far

less measurable power. The coil kicks a steel washer several feet into the air

when pulsed thus showing the " occult " (invisible) energy going into your body

during use. A typical finished device (Future Tech Today, USA 1-(866)-747-7447)

tests 600 mfd, 330-350V, 36 WS, 21,429 Gauss, 105 Amperes peak, 17,850 Ampere

Turns pulse rise time ~1.8 microseconds, pulse duration ~2.6 milliseconds,

penetration ~8 " in tissue. It and its AC power supply fit in a box 1-1/2 " X

2-5/8 " X 4-1/2 " with an external applicator coil 2-3/4 " diameter X 1-3/8 " thick

on a 4' cord. (These details are offered for professionals only.)

2. OZONIZED DRINKING WATER: Before adding this final step to the " magic four " ,

we had some very uncomfortable full-blown AIDS patients while they were

detoxifying. All are now completely well and symptom free. By simply drinking

ozone-charged water, most of the benefits of ozone use such as insufflation

(ozone enemas), autohemotherapy, ozone injections and blood bubbling, Oxygen

Bars and Hyperbaric Oxygen chambers were easily surpassed and made simple and

inexpensive. Tanks of " medical oxygen " (identical to welding oxygen) require

medical prescriptions. Ozonized water is made from oxygen in ambient air and

costs nothing. MAKING YOUR OWN: You can purchase ozone generators legally in

tropical fish (aquarium) stores. Preferred is the 200 ML Sander (brand) ozonizer

used with an aquarium aerator pump. Air pumped through a bubble-making " stone "

is passed through chilled water. Depending on the strength ozone maker you buy,

water becomes " saturated " in a few minutes and must be drunk immediately. You

can see an increase in % blood oxygen saturation which often reaches 100% within

minutes. Do NOT use ultra-violet (cheapest but almost useless) generators. Use

ONLY cold-corona high voltage ozonizers. Construction and use is fully explained

in my main paper.

 

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

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 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.

Castor Oil Treatments by William A., M.D. McGarey
