A Toxic Body, You Wonder Why?
Lymph Support; Your Choice-Detoxify or Die!.
by Dr. Lora Hurley, Traditional Naturopath

Humans are eating, breathing, and drinking toxins daily! We will always be exposed to both internal and external toxins. Toxins impact the health of our body, mind, and spirit. We will always need to be pro-active in our detoxification processes to maintain Homeostasis. This, for many people is easier said than done.

We are electrical beings. You know this to be true. Your heart “beats” because it has an electrical current running through it. The brain is electrical as well. It may use as much electricity as it takes to power a light bulb. Physics dictates that wherever there is electricity, there will also be a magnetic field; therefore, humans are electro-magnetic beings.

Blood, Urine, Saliva, and Lymph are fluids that make up about 80% of the human body. These fluids should be slightly Alkaline. The digestive system makes up the other 20% of the body and its’ contents should be slightly Acid. I think of the Digestive system as a furnace. If you place a log in the fire place; If it burns hot enough and long enough, then the log will be burnt to complete ashes. If, for any reason the log is not burnt completely, then one has a heavier load to carry out the ashes that now contain “chunks” of wood. This is a simple analogy, but so true of a properly functioning Digestive system. Incomplete “break down” of proteins is one of the largest factors of a sluggish lymphatic system, not to mention single amino acids are not available for building and re-building the body. Additionally, “strings” of amino acids will not be identified or used properly by the body and inflammation or allergic reaction may ensue. One can measure levels of acidity or alkalinity with litmus paper. The results can then be charted on a pH scale where level 7 is considered neutral.

If the body is balanced with its’ electro-magnetic field, then it should be about 20% Electrical, Positively charged, and Acidic with approximately 80% of it Magnetic, Negatively charged and Alkaline. These levels will vary according to Nutritional, Structural, and Psychological support of the body. This is extremely important when we are trying to understand the basic chemistry behind a “normal, balanced” body with its’ 11 systems functioning at optimum levels. If pH and polarity are not balanced, then nothing you eat, drink, nor do with that body will be as effective as it could be. The reasoning behind this should be common sense to us, yet we aren’t being taught “How” to “Fix” the imbalances. Being a “True” Naturopath, I want to support the body with foods, yet with genetic modification, pesticide and herbicide use, and preservative additives, etc., I am finding it difficult to do. In addition to the “Frankenstein Foods”, we have the other issue of living in a “Technologically Advanced Society”. Anything that affects our pH affects our polarity and vice versa. Electromagnetic pollution from computers, cell phones, microwave ovens, etc. accumulates in the body and stresses our electro-magnetic field. These will be considered polarity toxins. I’m telling you that “eating well” will not be the only support that your body needs.

The big problem here is that there are many ways to work with the body to urge proper pH, but only a few ways to support the proper polarity. Technically, there are a handful of “passive” devices that may help block electro-magnetic interference from your field. Some of these are magnets, copper bracelets, diodes, q-links, etc. I term these devices as “passive” for two reasons. One, they cannot be scientifically validated. The user has a subjective opinion of the result from usage and two; the body will acclimate to the device being within the user’s field. It may take five minutes, five days, five years, etc., but the body’s nervous system will detect the device. What is going on when the user claims an indefinite benefit from the use of the device? My opinion is that they are creating a Bio-Scalar wave. If interested, see information concerning Scalar technology (Einstein and Tesla) and Bio-Scalar technology (Dr. Valerie Hunt). Additionally, I do teach classes on Quantum Theory and Scalar technology. Let it be known that I highly urge everyone on planet earth to seek out a “Teslar” chip to be worn in a watch at all times. It is your best defense against electro-magnetic interference. Your body cannot acclimate to the use of this chip, because the oscillation changes randomly within the Alpha wave limits. Again, this information would be understood in another lecture. You may call our clinic or check our web site for further ordering information links.

Let’s move on to more information about the Lymphatic system. Most people do not have a clue as to the existence of a Lymphatic System. The lymph system is a vital circulatory system and the body’s primary immune defense and waste eliminator system. It is critical to managing the elimination of toxins from our body. The lymphatic system transports proteins and immune system properties throughout the body. Twice as much fluid is contained within the lymphatic system than the blood. Additionally, bacteria, virus, parasites, and fungi can reside within that system. According to Dr. Anthony M. Fauci, MD of the NIH Allergy and Infectious Disease Control Center, “Up to ten times as much virus resides in the lymph system as in the blood. This condition results in providing a breeding ground for pathogenic material.” Lymph stasis leads to “inflammatory response: which will precede disease. Dr. Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg, MD reports from his book “Homotoxicology” that Inflammation plays a critical role in illness. It liquefies toxins in connective tissue and therefore eliminates them from the body. Diseases are the result of the body’s struggle with toxins where it is unable to eliminate fluid and ultimately the cells will become stressed. He also reports that as long as the body eliminates toxins, it can maintain health or homeostasis, even if health is at an extreme “illness” level.

I am going to give you a few almost juvenile analogies to help you to understand more about this system. Let us begin by thinking about everything that makes up your physical body. Imagine that you and all of your connective tissues are a bath tub. The faucet is pouring life giving fluid into your tub. Ideally, the blood brings to all of your tissues oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and electricity. We know that there can be toxins, microbes, parasites, fungi, virus, etc. contained within the blood plasma, so let us envision that as the fluid moves up and down within the bath tub over time, we develop a “ring-around-the-tub”. This lining of filth around your tub can be termed: “connective tissue toxins”. It is no secret to most people that we absorb toxic properties into our body from the food, water, air, medications, etc. Some may even attempt to free their bodies of these toxins with the use of colonics, herbal kits, intravenous chelation, etc., and at best, they may “dump” some “trash” from a specific area like the colon or an artery. At the worst, they may have only re-arranged their “trash” and may experience negative symptoms by these actions. Sometimes they feel much better and have accomplished positive results. I do applaud them for taking an active role in their health issues and urge them to continue doing so. Consequently, they may be misled into believing that they have “cleaned” their body as one would routinely give their house a “Spring cleaning”. I believe they may have begun the process to allow the body to dislodge trapped toxins, but in no way am I convinced that they have removed chronic toxic build-up from organs, glands, or connective tissues. At the very best, they have urged some toxins to move out through the bowel or urinary system and that is good, however what is not good and could be quite dangerous for the person is the belief that they have “cleaned their tub”. Through this self-actuated belief, they may neglect to do anything else until it is time to “Spring clean” once again. I wish cellular detoxification were this easy.

Let us move back to the bath tub scenario again. The drainage hole of the tub is like the venous part of the cardiovascular system. If the drainage is open, then carbon dioxide and trash should wash away from the tub. If the fluids within the connective tissue moves high enough within the tub, then the overflow hole (lymph vessels in the sub-cutis) can carry away excess fluid. Picture the faucet (blood flow) pouring quickly into the tub, the drainage hole (venous flow) is clogged; and the fluids that have moved upward to the overflow hole (lymph flow) which is also is clogged. One can see that they would begin pushing fluids, microbes, parasites, virus, fungi, trash, etc. to places that they never should have been allowed access to. Now we have a dilemma.

The second explanation that will enable you to understand the lymphatic system better is as follows: Think of a tube. Flowing through this tube is valuable immune system properties; T-cells, B-cells, Leukocytes, Lymphocytes, etc. If the tube is clogged, then the immune system cannot move to the areas of the body that may have infection, inflammation, or disease.

The body is transporting over fifty percent of its protein to the body through this tube. Now you are beginning to see the importance of “complete protein digestion”. If you have proteins that have only been partially broken down, then they will trigger inflammation, allergic reaction, and due to the larger size, will block the flow of lymphatic fluid with all of its immune components. Another factor that one needs to be made aware of is that almost every living thing on this planet has some sort of protein in it. If one has bacteria, virus, parasites, fungi, etc. residing within the lymphatic system, then they may add to the stress on the lymphatic system. For this reason, sometimes the immune system is considered “stressed”. You can easily see that the battle between white blood cells and pathogens may be going on within the lymphatic system while the person’s health is in dire straits due to a common cold or flu.

If lymphatic fluid measures predominately alkaline and the components flowing within it hold mainly a negative charge, then the like-charged components should repel away from each other, just like two magnets of the same pole. If anything chemically, structurally, or psychologically begins to alter either the pH or Polarity of these fluids, then whatever is moving within those fluids starts to have an opposite pole magnetic “drawing toward each other effect”. What should have been negative pushing against negative now becomes negative and positive and begins to “draw” toward the other, sometimes compacting together with other things within the lymphatic system, like bacteria, virus, fungi, and parasites, and the “trash” or “toxins” that may be floating around also. As the body becomes more and more “out-of-balance”, the positive/negative drawing effect tends to be a huge reason for metabolic stagnation which will lead to the inflammatory response, ultimately causing swelling, allergic reaction, pain, or disease. A properly functioning lymphatic system retains the integrity of the connective tissues. In fact, when one has inflammation, there is a liquefaction of connective tissues. For this reason there are numerous connective tissue disorders like fibromyalgia and scleroderma.

The third fact about the lymphatic system that one should be made aware of is “how the lymph moves” within the body. It flows from the bottom of the foot to the top of the foot, to the ankle, to the knee, to the inguinal nodes (crease of the legs) continuing upward till it ends under the collarbone at the right lymphatic duct and left lymphatic duct (under the collar bones). Think of those two spots as the basement plumbing for a two story house. If the plumbing is clogged in the basement, it will not do any good to “flush” a toilet on the first floor. One must enable the end of the lymphatic system pathway to clear and flow before attempting blocked “plumbing” in the lower body. The reasons for the improper function and flow of the lymphatic system can be numerous: emotional (stress) issues, environmental (air/water) pollution, work environment, food additives, surgery, accidents, medication, dehydration, shallow breathing, improper digestion, too much or the wrong kind of protein, agglutination, etc.

The fourth and final point I will make with this article is concerning our youthful appearance and weight control. Did you know in America at this stage over 60% of the adult population is considered obese and overweight? I believe this is a low estimate and see the number rising at epidemic levels. The lymphatic system plays a major role in anti-aging and youthful looks and controlling weight. Dr. Alexis Carrel, MD, recipient of the Nobel Prize in 1912 demonstrated the importance of lymphatic milieu in extending the life of cells. He was able to keep the cells of a chicken heart alive and well for over ten years. He did this by changing the lymph milieu or fluid every two days. This supplied the chicken heart cells with protein and valuable immune system support, while removing toxins from the cellular environment. This was astounding considering a live chicken has a life span of only 4-5 years. This is proof that we can extend the quality of our lives with a properly functioning lymphatic system. In 1936, Dr. Emil Vodder stated: “If the milieu (lymph) and cell activity stagnate, then cells will degenerate, age and die...” “If the milieu is constantly renewed, then life flourishes and cells divide. The wrinkled and tired skin can regenerate itself; it becomes fresh and elastic and the tired, worn out appearances in the face disappears…” We all want to retain our youthful appearance. No one wants to be “FAT”! Dr. Coutland Reeves ND, CDT has coined the term “lymph fatties”. “The difference between a thin person and a person who retains water is that the thin person has a properly functioning plumbing system, while the person retaining fluid has a plumbing (lymphatic) system that is not operating at maximum capacity. In reality there is no such thing as a “FAT” person. There is only a person who retains water.” I personally believe this to be absolutely true and have many case histories of clients who began to drop weight only after removing lymphatic system stress, regardless of their life long diet schedules. Thin people also have to be concerned about lymph blockages. Although smaller in size, they show signs of protein build up in the form of cellulite. They may also have coagulates termed beadies that may be felt upon palpation of the commonly blocked lymph sites.

To make it simple, my opinion is that before major disease occurs, there will be a chronic inflammatory response. Before inflammation or allergy happens, there will be “stress” to the lymphatic system. Lymph stasis is comparable to septic lines that are not flowing. Lymph nodes are like our trash cans at our home. We want to empty and clean them on a regular basis. If this does not happen, then the nodes fill up and spill over. You can imagine how congested the septic lines will become when this process continues. An improperly functioning lymphatic system will lead to connective tissue build up of toxins, inflammatory response and/or allergic reaction. Symptoms like the following can begin to creep up on us, sometimes without warning: Pain and Inflammation, Tissue Swelling from Acute Injury, Acne or other Skin Disorders, Lymph Congestion resultant in Breast or other Cancers, Migraine Headaches, or Prostate Enlargement, Obesity, etc.

Light Beam Generator: Brief Description of Technology Courtland Reeves, ND, CDT

Cells have an electromagnetic charge that either helps to bind them together or keep them apart. Overburdened cells in the lymph system can clump together and bond electrically with water, potentially resulting in chronic inflammation - which in turn may lead to serious disease conditions in the body. The LBG® works by helping to rebalance the charge of the cells' electromagnetic fields. Using cold-gas light photons and extremely low-energy electromagnetic frequency patterns, the LBG® helps separate these cells from each other and their accumulated fluids. This enables the body to rapidly rid itself of inflammation, swelling, abnormal growths, and other lymph blockages.

The LBG® also helps in removing from the body unnatural additives in our food, including steroids that mimic hormones and attach to proteins. With proper lymphatic drainage, they can be rapidly flushed out of your system.

The issue of lymphatic flow has been studied for many years with in-depth clinical research resulting in very efficient manual methods for restoring the lymph system. Using manual lymph drainage techniques in conjunction with Light Beam Generator (LBG®) non-invasive technology can help affect a swift, safe and natural method of eliminating excess lymphatic fluid. The LBG assists the body to achieve a free-flow of proteins within the lymph system and to release bonded protein blockages in the areas of connective tissue.

The LBG is non-invasive technology and uses extremely low current and negatively charged light photons to provide compatible frequencies to blocked area resulting in cells correcting their out-of-balance condition and disassociating themselves from the binding agents responsible for swelling and blockage. Rapid movement of waste material within the cell can then occur, greatly increasing the delivery of waste material to the organs responsible for body waste disposal. The efficiency of hands-on therapy is increased as free-flow of proteins speeds the healing process. As waste material is now more effectively moving within the body, day to day factors like eating habits, body structure, nutrition, medication and mental health can be addressed to provide a successful formula for restoring and then maintaining health.

Common conditions that may receive relief from the use of lymph massage and the LBG are: pain, especially as it involves soft tissue, sciatica, breast conditions, fibrocystic disease, PMS, intestinal syndromes, diabetes, arthritis, swelling, chronic edema, bursitis and other conditions involving inflammation, bruising, pre-surgery preparation and post-surgical recovery.
