Hank's Health Connection

Cayenne can ‘repair’ an ulcer?  Cayenne can ’stop’ a heart attack or stroke?  Cayenne can ’stop’ a ruptured artery blood flow?  How can that be?

About 20 years ago I was taking a Dr. John Christopher Master Herbalist course.  Dr Christopher was an amazing herbalist with a heart as large as the State of Idaho during the early decades of the 20 century…  born in 1909 and died of a severe head injury in 1983.  He was put in jail many times during his medical career because he used simple herbs and common sense very successfully.  In 1953 he started his herbalist school that his son David successfully manages.

This course taught me many of the foundational solutions to wellness.  The teaching about Cayenne had a big impact on me.

My opening line made some strong statements about an ulcer, a heart attack or stroke, a flowing ruptured artery?  Cayenne is probably the most powerful individual herb on the earth. 

I personally have used tincture of cayenne and powder numerous times; one important time was when a collogue was at my office and began to have a heart attack and was quickly going very grey…  I knew that if I called 911 and waited for very long he would be dead.  I grabbed my bottle of tincture of cayenne (200,000 HI) and put about 20 drops in a small amount of water – then forced him to drink it.  In about 15 seconds he was violently coughing and within 90 seconds his color was PINK!  He went home and slept and was back at work the next day… cayenne saved his life.

Another story; it was Christmas time and we had 12 people for a special dinner.  It was time for me to carve the ribs and I cut a very deep gash in my hand.  Blood was squirting from the cut and I called for help getting an eyedropper of cayenne in my body.  Taking the cayenne, the bleeding stopped almost immediately.  I then got powdered cayenne poured into the wound, used butterfly bandages, gauss wrapped and then applied drops of Helichrysum (essential oil) to eliminate the pain.  I then went back to carving my roast .  Less than 10 minutes had passed and the next day all you saw was a brown line – no swelling – no bruising.  After a couple of weeks – no mark/scar!

The main reason this happened is as follows; the pressure at the point of the heart attack, stroke or artery rupture is very high, cayenne causes so much heat that the blood pressure system will equalize throughout.  When the cayenne takes effect the pressure is removed from the ‘spot’.  Pouring cayenne powder directly into a wound will also stop the bleeding very quickly.

The list of things that cayenne helps is quite long, here is a partial;

1. Circulatory stimulant – blood pressure reduces itself to normal.
2. Cayenne equalizes blood pressure, influencing the heart immediately, and then extends its effects to the venous structure.
3. Cayenne is a certain remedy for a heart attack/stroke – of all edible plants cayenne is the richest sources of Vitamin E – the heart builder.
4. Commonly used as a gastric stimulant and digestive aid.
5. Cayenne helps repair/protect a stomach ulcer by triggering mucus to protect the stomach – directly the opposite of medical opinion.
6. Cayenne will increase a person’s feeling of vitality.
7. Cayenne is used as an accentuator – it helps deliver herbs to the afflicted part of the body.

I have cayenne tinctures in each car, my briefcase and each bathroom.  Learn about this herb and gain another powerful tool!

No other single plant source provides complete protein in such an easily digestible form, nor has the oils essential to life in as perfect a ratio for human health and vitality.  Today, in the USA, Canada and European countries etc hemp seed and its oil is also being used for nutritional rather than just its medicinal or narcotic values.

This is one of the most potent foods available!  It provides a broad spectrum of health benefits from weight loss to building the immune system.

Amazingly it has been found that hemp seeds protein is about 65% globulin, edestin plus quantities of albumin (present in all seeds) so it is easily digestible, in addition the protein is available in a form quite similar to that found in blood plasma.  Hemp protein contains all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary to maintain healthy human life.

Pioneers in the field of biochemistry and human nutrition now believe cardiovascular disease (CVD) and most cancers are really diseases of fatty degeneration caused by the continued over-consumption of saturated fats and refined vegetable oils.

The short list of hemp food currently on the market of USA and in European countries include: hemp oil, hemp cheese (just as good as real cheese and melts great!), hemp ice cream, hemp butters, hemp flour, hemp baked goods, hemp tofu, hemp burgers (tempeh), roasted hemp seeds and hemp beer.  Some of these are now available in health food stores…

Hemp seed is the premier plant-seed provider of globulin starting material — the highest in the plant kingdom. Eating hemp seeds will insure the immune system has the reservoir of immunoglobulin resources needed to make disease destroying antibodies.

Beyond basic nutrition, hemp oil may help to prevent many of today’s increasingly common degenerative diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, weakened immune functions, arthritis, behavioral problems, high cholesterol, multiple sclerosis, skin affections and dry skin and hair, pms, sterility and even hair loss.

Hemp seed oil is one of the lowest in saturated fats at eight per cent of total.  1-4 per cent g-linolenic acid (GLA) and 15.25 per cent a-linolenic acid oil volume. The oil pressed from hemp seed contains 53-60 per cent linoleic acid (LA) and (LNA). Essential fatty acids govern growth, vitality and state of mind. LA and LNA are involved in transferring oxygen from the air in the lungs to every cell in the body. They play a part in holding oxygen in the cell membrane where it acts as a barrier to invading viruses and bacteria, neither of which thrive in the presence of oxygen.

Hemp is not unique in having all the essential amino acids in its embryonic seed. Flax seeds also contain all the essential amino acids as do many other seeds in the plant kingdom. What is unique about hemp seed protein is that 65% of it is globulin edistin. That is the highest in the plant kingdom.  It also has the best EFA ratio…

The body’s ability to resist and recover from illness depends upon how rapidly it can produce massive amounts of antibodies to fend off the initial attack. If the globulin protein starting material is in short supply the army of antibodies may be too small to prevent the symptoms of sickness from setting in.

Hemp seed  is the premier plant-seed provider of globulin starting material — the highest in the plant kingdom. Eating hemp seeds will insure the immune system has the reservoir of immunoglobulin resources needed to make disease destroying antibodies.

Please do your own study of hemp seed, hemp protein (easily assimilated by everyone – moms, babies, body builders, convalescents, and the elderly – EVERYONE!) and hemp oil… this is some of the most important work that I have done! 

If you are in a State that has laws that allow medicinal cannabis, make use of that right.  If not, do your homework and then get involved and convince your State representatives to understand the importance of hemp (see last post) growing for general uses and the cannabis side to protect ourselves and our loved ones from diseases!

This is one of the most conflicting/confusing topics on earth!  The political correctness of this topic has limited “We the People” access to THE most important plant that exists on this planet.  This plant – hemp – the ‘male’ part is completely different than the ‘female’ – cannabis/marijuana.  Industrial hemp IS NOT a drug!  You would get sick smoking hemp trying to get high – there is virtually no THC (the ingredient that will get you high) in hemp.

Here are some facts about industrial hemp: 

1. Industrial uses of hemp in China date far back as 10,000 years
2. There are over 25,000 known uses of hemp.
3. Hemp fibers can create building materials superior to wood.
4. Hemp is heat, mildew, pest, light and rot resistant.
5. In 1941 Henry Ford built a car with a plastic made from hemp and wheat straw.
6. Ford’s intention was to run his cars on hemp biofuel.
7. The original Levi Strauss jeans were made from hemp.
8. In 1850 the US Census reported 8,327 hemp plantations greater than 2,000 acres.
9. Until 1937, 70 – 90 percent of all rope and twine was made from hemp.
10. In 1942 the US Government strongly encouraged hemp farming to help with the war effort, going so far as to produce a film entitled “Hemp for Victory”
11. Hemp is cold hardy, able to withstand even NE winters.
12. Hemp is pest resistant.
13. Hemp is drought resistant.
14. Hemp has a production rate of up to 10 tons per acre, every 4 months!
15. 1 acre of usable hemp fiber is equal to the usable fiber of 4 acres of trees or 2 acres of cotton.
16. Hemp paper can be recycled up to 7 times – wood pulp paper 4 times.
17. Hemp fuels do not destroy the ozone layer or contribute to global warming.
18. Hemp fuel burn clean; they do not cause acid rain.
19. Hemp fuel is 10 times less toxic than salt and as biodegradable as sugar.
20. Trees mature in 50 – 100 years; hemp matures in as little as 100 days.
21. It is estimated that if 6% of the continental U.S. planted with hemp we could provide for ALL national energy needs.
22. Hemp oil is the highest source of essential omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.
23. The raw hemp seed is the only seed on earth that we could live on.
24. Hemp protein is easily assimilated with a high concentration of protein.

 Why is growing hemp now illegal?  At one time hemp was used as legal money.  Foreigners were awarded citizenship if they grew cannabis; those who refused were fined.  Hawaii is the first state since the 1950’s to legally plant a hemp crop.

What happened to shut down hemp growing and the enactment of the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act?  During the years 1916 – 1937, William Randolph Hearst created a yellow journalism campaign to associate hemp with marijuana.  Even though smoking hemp, like most fibers, will just make you sick.  Hearst along with his friend Pierre DuPont and their political cronies, succeeded in getting hemp outlawed in America.  They actually robbed the world of the finest environmental cash crop.

 Why did they do such a thing?  They did NOT want hemp to be used for paper, clothing, fuel, resins, medicines and many other uses.  We now use trees and synthetic petrochemicals.  Hearst owned huge forests and lumber mills, while DuPont made synthetic fuels and fibers (nylon, rayon, plastics) from petroleum.  Sound familiar? Greed!

 The United States of America is an island of Denial in a sea of acceptance.  Industrial hemp is easily distinguished visually from Marijuana.  Industrial hemp cannot be abused as a drug!  We need the agriculture might of this plant!

 Industrial Hemp as a cash crop would revitalize many states agriculture economies and make a significant contribution toward cleaning up the environmental mess in this earth!  Educate yourself about this topic.  Here is a closing thought: industrial hemp is not a drug; cannabis/marijuana is classified as a drug.  There are 14 States that have medical marijuana laws on the books; while Federal law (1937) makes it illegal to grow/possess.  There about 14 additional States that has medical marijuana laws being voted on in 2010.  In November 2010 California will vote in the general election for the legalization of marijuana for other than medical purposes.  Industrial hemp growing should NOT be a part of this movement since industrial hemp is NOT a drug!

 BTW:  Just a side note!  The EPA states that there is NO medicinal value of cannabis; In 2003 the NIH (National Institute of Health) of the US Government was issued a US Patent #6630507 for Cannabinoids – see the patent for all of the therapeutics medical claims in the patent!

When the “polyunsaturated” vegetable oil battles were being waged in the 70’s, I was being indoctrinated that all saturated oils were BAD!  Since I was a ‘younger’ (30’s) nutritional student I began to ‘buy into’ that theme.  However, I LOVED butter and believed that there was something wrong with the theory that ALL saturated fats were bad… 

By the early 80’s I had been properly schooled by ‘older people’ that something was wrong in ‘Denmark’ and the polyunsaturated movement was attached to the cholesterol fraud and that some saturated fats were fine.  Especially my butter.  My best breakfast was 3 eggs, a small amount of meat and some good bread – loaded with butter. Check out why I was right! 

During the 80’s it was ‘declared’ by the ‘oil purveyors’ that the absolute worst saturated oils were coconut and palm oil!  Now that claim was not easily countered…  I didn’t pay much attention since I was not attracted to either oil.  Now keep in mind that for thousands of years cultures have used butter, tallow and suet from beef and lamb, lard from pigs, chicken, goose and duck fat, coconut, palm and palm kernel oils within very healthy communities. First caution sign? 

During this time the opposite was being belched out at us here in America; that polyunsaturated vegetable oils, hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils, industrially processed liquid oil such as soy corn, safflower, cottonseed and canola oils were the only oils to use.  Keep in mind that Trans fatty acids were not a topic on the table…    

In the late 90’s I read some of Dr Mary Enig’s work and the truth began to come to me in clear crisp messages.  Confirmation to me that the cholesterol and saturated oil movement was one of the biggest frauds ever perpetrated on a nation and the world.  Our grand mothers were right – eat your food as close to the way God made it and you’ll be ok!  If man has messed with it you lose! 

Back to virgin coconut oil… It is solid below 76 degrees, liquid above.  It is anti bacterial, anti viral, anti fungal, it will help raise HDL and lower LDL, it will increase metabolism and promote healthy thyroid function, help control blood sugars, it is fabulous for your skin and will correct skin problems, it won’t break down while cooking on high heat, it will help you lose weight and on and on!  Wow, what a list! Just make sure that it is processed the “old way” and is labeled “virgin”.  I use a few different suppliers depending on the sales – Tropical Traditions and Nutiva.  There are numerous others – Dr Mercola has a very ’smooth’ product (search VCO). 

I can’t get into the details of why it is so good in the writing except that it primarily has to do with coconut oil having lauric acid.  Outside of mother’s milk coconut oils have the next highest amount.   Vegetable oils have long chain fatty acids (LCT) which are destructive while coconut oil has short and medium chain fatty acids (MCT) which are very healthy/powerful. 

Do some investigating about virgin coconut and coconut oils and you will find one of the most powerful natural gifts that have been given to us.  I personally take about three tablespoons a day.  I use it as butter, when I cook/fry, in anything that is hot – I look for opportunities to use more.  Simple solutions are what ‘Mother Nature” has brought us – man continues to create “business” by destroying the natural ways that we should eat and live.

Thanks to Bob’s Red Mill I share some thoughts of wisdom…

‘This year, we challenge you to keep your resolutions and find ways to make them work for you throughout the seasons. Here are some simple ways to make and keep your resolutions:

 Don’t make more resolutions than you can handle, and don’t make them bigger than your ability to achieve them.

 Start by looking at what you want to achieve with each resolution. What is the ultimate goal? Break that goal down into smaller and smaller steps until you have little, manageable goals. Next, set realistic timelines for each step toward your goal and go for it!

 (We’re sorry, we can’t remember where we found this one, but we liked it!) When you’ve got a dream that takes some serious financial responsibility (for example, a trip to Maui), measure each purchase against how nice it will feel to be in Maui. This could be applied to other goals, too.

 Make a list of possible challenges of reaching your goal, then brainstorm solutions to keep you on track. When you feel yourself drifting, revisit your list.

 Communicate your goals to someone and ask them to help keep you accountable. Write a blog post about them or convey your plans to a spouse or loved one.

At the beginning of each month, review the progress you’ve made toward your goal and renew your commitment to reaching it.’

And a thought from Hank…  May your 2010 be the best year of your life!  Remember that you will attract what you focus upon…  focus on lack and guess what?  You got it!  Also try this; record yourself for two days and then play the recording back – that is what you can expect!    The beauty of all of this is that we can control what we believe and perceive!  Be blessed.

When I was 15 years old I had over 20 mercury fillings… then I went in the Navy and was exposed to massive amounts of lead aboard ship and smoked for 25 years… in my fifties I was having many challenges with my teeth/gums and went to have my toxicity measurements done.  The clinic ran numerous tests and the doctor said “Hank, if I didn’t know you personally and only saw your numbers I would think that you would spend 90% of your time in bed – your toxicity levels are so high”.  I’m thankful that I was so aggressive with my nutritional supplementation all those years.

My levels of heavy metals were through the roof!  Lead, tin, mercury, cadmium etc. Heavy metals may be moved/removed by; IV chelation therapy, oral chelation, sun chlorella, infrared sauna, Humic/fulvic acids and others.    After unsuccessfully trying numerous things, I successfully used infrared saunas and then the mineral Zeolite.

We are constantly bombarded with toxins – every day of our lives.  The pesticides used to feed our lawns and grow our food are toxic, while industry continues to spew toxins into our water and air.  It’s virtually a sure bet that your body is contaminated with some or many of the thousands of toxins present in the air, water, food, cosmetics, shampoos, nail polish, soaps, pesticides, solvents, perfumed candles, air-fresheners, etc. in our modern world.

More than 30 million people have levels of lead in their water above the EPA standards. One study by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that blood samples from newborns contained an average of 287 toxins, including mercury, fire retardants, pesticides, and Teflon chemicals!  These and other toxins are causing illnesses unlike anything observed in years past.   This toxicity must be reversed in order for us to become/remain well and the simple solution is called Zeolite.  Nature has a mineral that is able to “trap” toxins in its “cage-like” structure with a rare negative charge and eliminates those toxins naturally.

 Zeolites are a group of minerals with a four-sided honeycomb structure and rare among minerals, that it has a negative charge. The effect of the structure and the charge is that zeolite draws heavy metals and toxins to it and simply engulfs/holds them.  The toxins “check in” and they can’t “check out.”  Then the zeolite carries them safely and harmlessly out of the body through the fecal material.  The form of zeolite in the product that I recommend (there are nearly 50 naturally-occurring zeolites) is called “clinoptilolite,” and it is this type of zeolite that has been studied for its effect in human physiology. I do believe that the powdered zeolite is best.  The Benefits of using the ZEOLITE called Clinoptilolite are numerous…  

Unique Antioxidant; traditional antioxidants absorb or neutralize free radicals whereas zeolite traps free radicals in its structure, inactivating and removing/eliminating them. 

Traps Many Toxins; amazingly, zeolite does this in a hierarchical manner; it first acts to remove the dominant toxin, then the next, etc.  Interestingly, since the nitrogen used in farming has increased greatly these past years, vegetarians are now at the greatest risk for ammonia toxicity!  Ammonia is the favorite food of pathogens especially fungi!

 Balances pH in the Body;   it is able to trap/absorb the ammonia in the gut which greatly contributes to balancing pH. 

Chernobyl Disaster; children were fed cookies and biscuits laden with zeolite to help remove radiation from their bodies while dairy cows were also fed zeolite to remove radiation from their milk.   Zeolite is on the FDA’s GRAS list (generally recognized as safe).

It should be noted that zeolite is used extensively in agriculture and animal husbandry… an example of this is when cattle feed lots feed animals zeolite there is very little odor in the manure and no flys!  All animals do very well consuming zeolites.

This simple, safe and inexpensive toxin remover is a great way to remove and then maintain a toxin free body… 1 tsp in water or any liquid once or twice a day does the job!

As many of you know I’ve been a health coach for thirty years and counting… these past five years have provided more relevant learning to me than many of years past.  Small amounts of Bicarbonate of Soda taken daily internally and brushing teeth with BS has been part of my recommendations for years. 

Now, thanks to researchers like Dr Mark Sircus living/hiding in Brazil, Dr Mercola and others, our understanding of the positive impact of bicarbonate fluids in our body systems has really expanded.   Like our misunderstanding of Vitamin D3 all these years , not understanding the real vital role of bicarbonate fluids in the body and using BS to help the body defend and balance itself has had a unbelievable toll on all of us!  The medical/nutritional experts etc. missed the boat!  The main reason in my opinion for not pursuing this vitally important research is MONEY! Pathetic!

This is the direction we MUST travel if we want to survive these coming years.  We must get our own immune systems very strong and have a POWERFULY STRONG home pharmacy…  (I will be posting one soon)

In today’s modern world of medicine the FDA just will not let companies or individuals that sell products make medical claims, suggestions or even implications that “natural” foods, extracts, seeds, etc. can help the body heal itself.  Below is a great excerpt from over 80 years ago…

 In a 1924 booklet published by the Arm & Hammer Soda Company, the company starts off saying, “The proven value of Arm & Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda as a therapeutic agent is further evinced by the following evidence of a prominent physician named Dr. Volney S. Cheney, in a letter to the Church & Dwight Company:

“In 1918 and 1919 while fighting the ‘Flu’ with the U. S. Public Health Service it was brought to my attention that rarely anyone who had been thoroughly alkalinized with bicarbonate of soda contracted the disease, and those who did contract it, if alkalinized early, would invariably have mild attacks.”

Recommended dosages from the Arm and Hammer Company for colds and influenza back in 1925 were:

During the first day take six doses of half teaspoonful of Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water, at about two hour intervals

During the second day take four doses of half teaspoonful of Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water, at the same intervals

During the third day take two doses of half teaspoonful of Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water morning and evening, and thereafter half teaspoonful in glass of cool water each morning until cold is cured    – End

My question is; did our body systems change that much since the early 1900s that this simple remedy won’t work now – what an insult to our nation!  Be on guard.  Be blessed.

Remember when a smell reminded you of an event or experience that happened years ago?  Remember a music tune that triggered an old memory?  Remember the pain when you saw a photo from years ago?  The taste – The smell – The image – The sound – The touch – it goes on and on…

Listening to a lecture by Dr Bruce Lipton years ago brought a scary revelation; when we are hit with a heavy stress load we can produce the same chemical that would be given to us to suppress our immune system after having an organ transplant!  Wow, did that ever make me change what I allow into my mental world!

Most of what dictates how we function/react/act was given to us between the years from birth to 12 years of age…  from raw input to mild discernment.  That’s why high school starts after ~12 years of age when we begin to discern things.  Think about this for a moment; how does the shirt on your back feel?  Before I asked you weren’t thinking about that feeling.  We have about 4 billion bits of information going on at all times and can only consciously handle about 2000.  The rest is going on whether we like it or not… this ‘rules’ us to various degrees.

When we had difficult or even terrible experiences whether young or older, they can even now be very disruptive and damaging.  Post Traumatic Distress Disorder PTSD does not happen just to Vietnam or Iraqi vets…  they happen from an accident, a rape, sexual/physical/emotional abuse and numerous other experiences.  When some of these things are recalled we ‘feel’ like we are “in the movie” real time!  This reoccurring experience can and will have that chemical produced that I talked about from Dr Lipton’s lecture.  Very damaging!

When we remember something and it triggers an emotional negative thought that quickly ramps up to an 8 or 10 on a scale of 10 – that is destructive!  The reason that it ‘ramped’ up so quickly is that; it’s like throwing a screw driver in the back of a TV – there is a zaaaap!  Well, we had an electrical disruption in one of our meridians (where subtle energy travels) related to that negative thought.  We must learn to diffuse these errant connections and get rid of that ‘screw driver’!

Gary Craig developed “EFT” Emotional Freedom Technique in the early 90’s. (Watch free videos) I became a practitioner a couple of years ago and for the first months after my first training I just worked on ME…  I was able to “surgically” remove ’stuff’ that had bothered me since childhood.  I have since been able to teach many client and even my grandkids how to use this simple yet profound method of fixing these electrical disruptions.  Imagine kids that won’t have to carry “baggage” through their lives.

Just using our fingertips (acupuncture without needles) after a proper set-up and emotional positioning, we tap on these meridian points.  It’s amazing that after a short period of time we see these sometimes major challenges (some having been carried for many years) dissolve before our eyes!  In all my 30 years of being a health coach I had not heard nor seen of such profound emotional healing.  Learn more about this and control the emotional side of YOUR wellness!  If I can help you – call on me. Be blessed.

 Two years ago I was experiencing a “makeover” of my mouth… here I was in my late sixties with braces on, preparing for numerous implants and bone surgery .  Not a happy time.   An associate of mine sent an article about Oil Pulling.  Reading about this topic I decided to try doing this oil pulling process.  It just happened that I had completed one of my 3 month teeth cleaning sessions and this was a perfect time to start.  I was especially attracted to trying this, since they claimed that doing this for months could make my teeth firmer in my jaw bones.

Each morning I put a tablespoon of sunflower oil in my mouth and “pulled” it through my teeth and gums for about 15 minutes.  Not really unpleasant, just a bit of a funny sensation since my mouth was also filling with saliva.  After the time period I spit it out (it was now a milky white color), rinsed my mouth with water and then brushed my teeth.  I did this for months and then went to my scheduled teeth cleaning appointment.

My regular technician inspected my mouth and asked if I had come in since my last appointment?  No, I answered – why?  She said that my teeth were 90% free of tarter and my gums looked better than she had ever seen!  Wow, that was probably the first time in twenty years that I actually had good news from a dental office!

Another observation occurred when more work was being done by my dentist in the ensuing months.  He observed that there was a substantial increase in my saliva production.  This is a very healthy sign.  Also my teeth were definitely very firm in the bone.

As you study the information about Oil Pulling see pdf of Oil pulling you will see the opinions of this Indian doctor and he is serious about the benefits.  I don’t know much more than what I have read so you will have to be your own judge.  Interestingly watch this Ad for Oil Pulling shown in India.

Oil Pulling is very safe, very inexpensive, simple and for me very effective.  You be the judge for yourself.  Sometimes these decisions can be very fruitful!  Be blessed

Twenty five years ago I learned that we had over two times more lymphatic fluid than we have blood!  What are these lymphatic vessels, lymph fluid and lymph nodes that make up our lymphatic system?  Well along with your spleen the lymphatic system carries the white blood cells that defend you against germs.  Your bone marrow and thymus produce the cells in lymph.  They are all part of this important system…

Remember the blister on your heel?  It had clear fluid – that is your lymphatic fluid.  This fluid bathes every cell and ensures that they are able to get the care that they need.  The lymphatic system clears away infections and keeps your body fluids in balance.  When it’s not working properly (becoming toxic and sludge) fluid will build up in tissue and the nodes will swell called “swollen glands“.  The result of sludge fluid and a toxic lymph system is infections, leading to the worst – cancer.  The lymphatic system is the ‘garbage collector’ sucking up metabolic garbage and toxins from extracellular fluid of every organ! Critically important!

So how do we ensure that we keep our lymph fluids clean and flowing?  I want to talk about rebounding on a small trampoline.  You can Google ‘rebounding’ and get a ton of information that will be very helpful.  While you’re looking into that you can also search ‘body brushing’ – this is also another effective way to move lymph fluids.  Rebounding is by far the most effective.

You don’t have to be jumping off of the material on the small trampoline or rebounder – just keep your heals on the material and start to move your arms like a turkey trying to fly.  Start slowly when starting for just a few minute and later work up to 10 -15 minutes a day.  On the bottom cycle you will compress waste into the fluid and on the top of the cycle you will manually open the one way valves of the lymph vessels and move fluid into and through the lymph nodes – the lymphatic filters.  This opening and closing of the valves will move fluid through the nodes and accomplish a very important function.  My wife and I have been rebounding for over twenty years and I believe that it is the single most important reason for our health!  In our late 60’s we do not use any prescription drugs.

Remember when kids start bouncing on the bed?  The more they bounced the crazier they got!  That’s because they were producing endorphins…  When you rebound for about 5 minutes you will begin to produce endorphins and this will bring your mood up to a pleasing level.  When I am having a difficult day I will rebound several times…

Remember there are few things that you can do that would be better for your immune system than rebounding on a small trampoline.   There are all kinds available from elaborate to simple inexpensive ones.  A moderately priced one would probably be better than the cheapest one.  Enjoy this experience and make it a permanent part of your daily routine.  It will insure you a long healthy life!  Be blessed.
