WE'RE EMPHATIC ABOUT LYMPHATICS!

By Alexis K. Rotella, Ph.D., M.Ac., L.Ac.




The Jade Spring Health Center offers a new and much needed service: Lymphatic Drainage with the Lightbeam Generator. In any type of healing, the lymph system (or body sewer) needs support. Because lymphatic drainage is so important, this newsletter is dedicated to answering questions about the gel that keeps our immune system well.

What Does the Lymphatic System Do?

Functions of the lymph system include:
transportation of nutrients and oxygen to the tissues and cells;
removing protein and other waste (including environmental toxins) from the cells and interstitial areas;
maintaining fluid balance in connective tissue (which is missing in fibromyalgia);
transportation of fatty acids from the small intestine to the liver for storage and eventual use.
What Happens When the Lymph System Becomes Congested?
Its functions are impaired and cells are deprived of oxygen so the body cannot rid itself of toxins. If the lymph system is not clean, then eventually other body systems that depend on the lymph system for waste removal will back up setting the arena for disease. Colorpuncture founder Peter Mendel also teaches that our emotions (hormones) are dumped into the lymph and when they're not processed created a backlog causing depression, fear and heaviness which can then lead to physical illness.

In Chinese medicine, the spleen is the official in charge of transportation and transformation. A healthy energetic spleen makes for a healthy immune system although the spleen is basically ignored in Western medicine.

What Is a Sure Sign of Lymph Backup?

When your lymph glands are swollen, think congested lymph.

Usually the areas most noticeable are in neck, above and below the shoulder blades, armpits, groin and intestines. Non-malignant tumors in the breast and other areas can be related to lymph congestion.

My Therapist Uses Lymph Massage. Why Isn't That Good Enough?

While lymph drainage massage can help, unless a therapist is really experienced, aggravation of the patient's condition can result by pushing the material into other areas. This can be avoided if the well trained therapist spends a lot of time at each session avoiding this problem. In fact, having studied with Dr. Yurkovsky, founder of Field Control Therapy (FCT), most practitioners wind up clearing one organ only to push the "gook" into another organ system, e.g., the gallbladder might feel better but now the small intestine is toxic. For more information about FCT, see our Spring 2002 Newsletter.

Because of this problem, more and more healers and physicians are turning to Light Beam Generator (LBG) therapy to restore lymph function and eliminate waste material.
In Worsley-oriented Five Element Acupuncture training, we are taught about Aggressive Energy (AE) and how easy it is for an unknowing practitioner to create toxic or aggressive energy in a person's body mind spirit. This is why one of the first blocks we treat in Classical Acupuncture is AE. Unless that is first cleared, any energetic work that is done can actually exacerbate the toxicity levels and spread them to other organs. This is why people who receive many TCM acupuncture treatments don't get well. This is not to bad mouth TCM practitioners but to open their eyes to the need to also be trained in five elements.
Can the LBG Help with Cellulite?
The LBG is a lightweight, hand-held device that penetrates much deeper than a simple lymphatic massage. It also increases the effectiveness of manual drainage. In California especially the LBG is more widely used. Some physicians in the New York/New Jersey area have invested in lymph machines. They work well on cellulite and edema and for cosmetic problems relating to swelling. The Chinese believe that cellulite is equal to lymph dis-ease and that phlegm is not a normal condition, that it is frozen lymph that can cause all sorts of illnesses from tumors to strokes.

Can the LBG Be Used for Preventative Mainte nance?

Absolutely. In fact, that's the way to go. If we look upon our body as a machine, its plumbing needs to be cleaned out every so often. Chances are if the lymph is clean, nuisance illnesses such as headaches, PMS and hot flashes can be greatly reduced if not entirely eliminated.

How Does the LBG Work?

The Light Beam Generator uses very low current, cold gas light photons to transfer energy frequency patterns to cells in the lymphatic regions. Frequency modulation is accomplished by light and achieves results on an energetic level. Cells have an electromagnetic charge that either holds them together or separates them. This machine rebalances the charge of the cells' electromagnetic field. Cells within the lymph can clump together and bond electrically with water to create disease conditions of swelling or tumors. What the LBG does is to separate these cells from each other and their accumulated fluids; in other words, unclump them. Results are often rapid and complete.

Why Is Edema Such a Bad Thing?

The lymph system is always removing waste, particularly damaged proteins. Pathologies occur when the lymph system is congested with proteins. This congestion is called "edema." The LBG is specifically used to eliminate or reduce edema and is especially helpful after breast surgery. The LBG can also eliminate the virus, fungus and bacteria that feed on the waste materials, making it particularly effective for conditions such as sinus congestion, candida or respiratory illness including pneumonia. It aids in the removal of allergy elimination in that it removes unnatural additives in our food such as the steroids that mimic hormones that attach to proteins. When you notice swollen ankles, know that it's not "nothing." The kidneys are backed up and having a hard time filtering toxins. Edema is not something we should accept as "a given." Neither should phlegm conditions which are basically ignored in Western medicine (along with the spleen which is the organ that manufactures phlegm when it is deficient).

Do You Have to Drink Water After An LBG Treatment?

It's always a good idea to help flush out the system. Larry Trivieri says in his article SHEDDING LIGHT ON LYMPHATIC HEALTH (Alternative Medicine, May 2000), "The Light Beam Generator works by presenting a flood of photons that target the unhealthy, random protein structures, causing them to release the water they were holding. 'Since healthy tissue protein structures do not attract water, they are not affected by the energy presented by the LBG.'"

Is the LBG Used in Conjunction with Mas sage?

There are therapists who use both but the LBG alone can be used with excellent results.

What Diseases Can Be Helped?

Physicians who use the LBG in their practice have found it useful for pain, sciatica, PMS, IBS, acne and other skin ailments, allergies, arthritis, bursitis, diabetes, edema, lupus, fibromyalgia, respiratory conditions, scarring, cellulite, burns, and fibrocystic disease. It has been used in the prevention protocol and treatment of breast and prostate cancers, prostate enlargement, breast diseases, and headaches, and as a support in both pre-op and post-op procedures. Improvement is due to the fact that the LBG improves lymph flow while enforcing oxygen delivery and nutrients throughout the bloodstream.

What Are the Main Points Treated with the LBG?

In the upper body, the clavicle and sternum are addressed. In the lower portion, the groin area is treated. Just five to ten minutes on an enlarged area can ease the edema dramatically. Facial edema, for example, can be reduced so that the patient looks as if he or she had a face lift. Benign breast lumps have been removed with just a few 20-minute treatments.

I Take A Hundred Supplements But I'm Not Getting Well. How Come?

All the greatest supplements known to humankind will not do the trick if the lymph system is congested. When normal lymphatic flow is restored, nutrients will get to their destination and chances are supplementation can be cut back drastically.

Can The LBG Help A Dowager's Hump?

It has been known to resolve this condition, especially if it is caused by fat accumulation.

Can the LBG Help with Lymph Node Block ages?

Larry Trivieri quotes in the above mentioned article," Certified Clinical Nutritionist and Dark Field Blood Analyst Irene Oswald uses spot specific therapy with the LBG in combination with homeopathy for patients with an internal solid mass. One patient was able to eat solid foods for the first time in several years after six 20-minute sessions on the intestinal and inguinal area near the groin. With another client, a 66-year old woman with severe lymphemdema in her right hand and arm, a one-hour session greatly reduced the swelling and after two additional treatments, her hand returned to and retained its normal size."

Trivieri continues, "Among the more dramatic changes a Dr. Carter and his staff have documented...especially within breast tissue. "The terror experienced by women who find a lump in their breast is real and profound," Dr. Carter notes. "Even the potential of finding a lump in the breast area is enough to cause some women to simply refuse to do self exams at all.

"When a lymph node is hard or 'sore,' it is engaged in the warfare of trying to remove toxins or debris from the lymphatic channel so that it can return to its regular job of transporting oxygen, nutrition or waste to their proper sites. But it can only do its job when it isn't blocked. The LBG is able to safely remove blockages so that the nodes are no longer painful. It is important to remember that we are dealing with noncancerous issues here. Cancer should only be treated by a qualified physician. But how much healthier will your immune system be when it is able to function as normally as possible."

So What Is the Difference Between a Manual Lymphatic Massage and the LBG Treatment?

Dr. Carter believes that one session with the LBG is the equivalent of four to eight manual massages. He says, "It seems that with the LBG we can get the lymph to be drawn into the large intestine and eliminated very quickly. It is not uncommon to see, over an eight to twelve hour period, a light colored coating on fecal matter as it is eliminated. This appears to be excess lymph being sloughed off by the body as a result of LBG treatment."

Why Are You Offering this Service at the Jade Spring Health Center?

I believe it's necessary in order for a person to be well. For too long practitioner's have overlooked the importance of cleaning the lymph. Most of my patients do not get enough exercise. They are couch potatoes at home and have sedentary jobs. They spend hours commuting in their cars. Gardening for a few hours on weekends is not enough to properly drain the lymph. And regular massages or lymph massages can move the waste from one part of the body to another. Ever notice how you can feel worse after a massage? With the LBG, people state that they feel like they've dumped four pounds of toxins behind."

Freon - It Can Be An Allergen

This summer morning as a patient was clearing for oxygen (yes, she was allergic to oxygen), I noticed a sweet smell permeating throughout the house. The cleaning lady had let the heat pump guy in but he swore he didn't use any smelly stuff as he cleaned out the air conditioning system. The sweet smell persisted and the mystery cleared after he told me I owed him $55 for two gallons of Freon that he had to insert into the system. He swore that it had absolutely no smell, that it couldn't possibly affect anyone, that it's ridiculous to think that it could be an allergen. Oh yeah? And speaking of Freon, did you know that many soles of running shoes contain Freon? A great way for your body to absorb a substance you don't need. Ecco shoes mention in their literature that their soles are Freon-free and I can tell you, Ecco shoes feel absolutely terrific on MY feet.

About Five Element Acupuncture

Classical Acupuncture (Five Elements) is based on the relationships of the five elements which are fire, earth, metal, water and wood. The elements create, control and support each other through the cycles of energy (or qi) which connects them. Where there is an energy imbalance, there is an illness or the possibility of an illness. Classical acupuncture's goal is to create balance within the person's "inner kingdom" thus promoting health of the body mind spirit.

The role of a classical acupuncturist is to help restore the overall balance of a person's life force (qi). We detect imbalances through various diagnoses (including pulse reading) and then direct the qi so that the meridians (energy channels) return to their normal flow. When this is achieved, symptoms and dis-ease disappear. In other words, the classical acupuncturist's job is to put a person back in touch with the cycles of Mother Nature. Nature is the healer, the acupuncturist is the agent. When seeking out the expertise of a classical acupuncturist, ask if they have been trained by Dr. J. R. Worsley or his wife, Judy Becker-Worsley. His daughter, Hilary Skellon, is also a tremendous five-element practitioner who recently moved from England to Boulder where she teaches at the five-element school.

The Difference Between Classical Acupuncture and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine)

Most acupuncturists in the world treat only symptoms. Dr. Worsley has been telling his students for years that to treat symptomology alone is wrong. The whole person must be treated and to only focus on a person's shoulder pain can ultimately make that person sicker. This is not to say that first-aid cannot be administered. It should be, but the patient must be told that a quick fix is not a cure. Even when people are told how dangerous it is to just treat a headache and not the whole person, many will not hear. In our culture, we have been brain washed by orthodox medicine into thinking that you take a pill for this and a pill for that and everything will be okay. It's because of this myopic view that we have illnesses that are now called "incurable." Because most medical practitioners have not been treating the whole person, they refer out to specialists. So you may have five different specialists working on one person with no particular doctor managing the store. This is not to imply that a person should never go to a specialist but someone really ought to be making sure that the person's body, mind and spirit are working in synch.

How To Strengthen Your Spine Chinese Style

Dr. Gary Young, founder of Young Essential Living Oils, discovered while in China that the way certain folks kept their spines healthy was to walk backwards 20 minutes a day. Walking in reverse decompresses the spine so the disc gel can be reabsorbed.

Mine Fields In Muscle Testing

In order to get correct answers through muscle testing, there are many things that need to be considered. First of all, watches, bracelets, hair pins, zippers, metal buttons, magnets must be removed. A person must be at least four to five feet away from any gem stones or electrical appliances. Televisions and radios can influence the testing. The person's polarity may be switched. This is common where the corpus callosum is not clear. The one who is doing the testing might be switched. Strong scents can influence the testing. You don't want to use aromatherapy while you're doing muscle testing. Flourescent lights or satellite dishes can influence the results. Your fear or doubt in your ability to muscle test can also interfere. Muscle testing takes practice. Just like getting to Carnegie Hall. If you're exhausted, don't muscle test. If you're angry or have excessive joy or grief, same thing holds true. If you want to learn muscle testing, find a good tutor.

Joy: Is It Always A Good Thing?

Too much joy can shock the heart. There are people who've won the lottery who become so overwhelmed they drop dead. When I become so joyful that I feel like I'm going to lift off, I start doing deep breathing because when we leave the "Middle Path" the opposite emotion WILL surface. This is common in bipolar disorder (manic depression). When a person who has been down in the pit of hell for months starts to rapid cycle, they can become so optimistic that they'll go out and spend great sums of money and give into what feels good for the moment. Have you ever laughed so hard you became weak or immediately sad? Oftentimes mood swings are due to toxicity, when allergies are way out of control. Sometimes bipolar disorder is really not bipolar disorder but a degenerative state of toxicity where the body mind is trying to achieve homeostasis by swinging from one pole to the other. Lymph drainage could sure help.

The Lack Of Joy

Patients with severe candidiasis who don't seem to get well despite all the treatments and remedies they receive would do well to consider what Peter Mendel says about candida: a lack of joy and deep loneliness are the terrain within which fungal and yeast infections thrive. He recommends a number of Colorpuncture treatments for candida, a number of them include using orange on the inner wrist zones which correlates with the zone of joy. It's interesting to note how many patients dislike the color orange which corresponds to the second or sexual chakra, a power center. I have been recommending that people with candida incorporate more orange into their lives whether it be wearing orange under clothes or carrying an orange gem stone in their pocket. Remember, in our world, orange is used for lifesaving devices and safety gear.

Twenty Four Hour Cancellation Pol icy

We have a twenty-four hour cancellation policy. If you cancel an appointment with less than 24 hours notice, we ask that you please pay for the missed visit. In fairness to all of our patients we count on you to show up.

Acute Rescue Spray To The Rescue

In seminars BioSET practitioner are told about the wonderful effects of Acute Rescue Spray (as well as the tincture drops and cream) but until one puts it to the true test, one cannot know just how invaluable this "rescue medicine" is. A few days while a patient was on the table processing an emotional detox treatment, I went upstairs to my kitchen for a glass of water. For some reason, my golden retriever became startled at my presence, but instead of settling back down when he saw it was me, he began to run like someone was after him with a gun. In the family room he fell and he began to moan and scream (directly below him was my patient). When I got to him, he was on his back having a seizure, legs cycling and foam coming out of his mouth. This had never happened before and my elderly mother who was visiting me was also frightened. I asked God to please tell me what to do. I didn't want to get too near him so I grabbed the Acute Rescue Spray that I keep on the kitchen counter and sprayed his nose and mouth. Instantly the cycling stopped and he appeared to be paralyzed although his eyes were staring at me and it looked like there was someone "home." In another 30 seconds his tail began to wag and in another minute he got up and came over and put his head in my lap.

More and More Patients Are Asking Me If I Can Help Their Pets.

For starters, I think having Acute Rescue Spray on hand is one heck of a good idea. Next, I think everyone should learn how to muscle test. By contacting the dog with your hand, you can muscle test to see what the animal may be reacting to. In my dog's case, I muscle tested everything he put in his mouth including his food, biscuits, amino acids, balls and toys. I muscle tested his choke collar. What he DID test weak to was his favorite plastic turquoise stick which he is lost without. The instructions said, "This is not a chewable toy--for retrieving only." I noticed he had been gnawing away at it regularly and would not rest unless it was with him.

Pets give us opportunities to stretch our minds. I know the day Cody had his seizure, my brain and my patience stretched l00 miles. While I was still quaking inside, I went back down to the clinic to be with my patient, practicing being in the present moment which belonged solely to her.

SYNESTHESIA: Is Your Pain Or ange?

A patient called my attention to an article in February's Smithsonian magazine entitled, "For Some, Pain Is Orange." If you're one of those people who see colors or smells certain scents when you're receiving acupuncture or if you associate different colors or sounds with the days of the week, then I urge you to borrow this issue from your library. I always associate the name Mary with the color red. Fred, to me, is green, just as is Wednesday. Sam relates to tan or a light salmon. Monday is royal blue. Saturday a silvery grey. The name Robert resonates to brown. According to the article, some composers are inspired by synesthesia. Back in the l980's, Torke wrote a number of compositions including "Bright Blue Music" written in D major. His "Green" was written in E major, and "Ecstatic Orange," "Yellow Page," "Purple," "Rust" etc. were all named for the shades he found himself immersed in when composing in particular keys. The painter, David Hockey, also used synesthesia in his work. The interesting thing about synesthesia is that not everyone sees Orange when they think pain.

Family Reunions: It's Summertime, Time to Relax?

Heart palpitations can occur when we think about the family reunion that is scheduled for the month of July. We all know how certain family members push our buttons. No matter how old we get, parents and siblings can throw us off guard with just a simple gesture or comment. Peter Mendel, founder of Colorpuncture, says that our family provides us with an opportunity to do advanced spiritual work. So when your sister says, "Boy, you put on weight," instead of snapping at her, you might want to first remind yourself that she is giving you an opportunity to stretch your spiritual muscles in a new way. And remember, when we do our advanced spiritual work, we need to be patient because just as when we start lifting weights or doing aerobics, it takes time to build up strength.

More Insights on Why You May Not Be as Well as You Wish

Suppose you've had twenty or thirty acupuncture treatments and you still feel like you haven't gotten over at least one hump in the road. And let's suppose I've tested you to see if you really want to be well and you tested strong, i.e., you DO want to be well and you're not trying to self-sabotage your progress. Some things to consider are geopathic stress. Are you sleeping near any electrical outlets and receiving power surges during the night? Is your bed not placed in the right position? Is the feng shui in your living space unhealthy? Are you living with a toxic person? Other things to consider are scars, Electromagnetic frequency, amulets, gemstones and jewelry. For example, is there scar tissue anywhere in your body that your practitioner doesn't know about? Did you get your tonsils removed when you were a kid? If so, there's scar tissue there. Have you had plastic surgery? If so, there are scars. Have you had tattoos or body piercing? Ditto.

Are you walking around with a mouthful of mercury? Have you recently had your mercury out? This is a big topic which I'll explore in more depth in a future newsletter. But definitely focal infections in the teeth/gum areas need to be explored. Oftentimes, problems with teeth can point to worms and parasites.

If the place your living in tests weak during muscle testing in the clinic, then consider a good feng shui person or expert dowser to help you uncover if the property has a stream running under the house or if there are ley lines causing a disturbance. Are you hooked up to a computer hours a day? If you are, you need to consider that this is not a natural way to live. Exploring the electromagnetic frequency where you live and work is an important issue, not to overlook flourescent lights. If you live in an apartment, for example, is your neighbor's refrigerator on the other side of the wall from where you sleep? Is the significant other in your life dumping on you, putting you down, or, in other words, emotionally abusing you? You can have the cleanest diet in the world, breathe the cleanest air, but if the person you're living with does not want you to self-actualize, you may well be spinning your wheels.

Although this is not the last consideration, this IS a biggie. Do you wear an amulet or gemstone regularly? Or do you spend a lot of time with crystals or power objects? These can most definitely knock your energy out of whack. It's a good idea to give the body a rest from jewelry. For example, if you wear pearl or diamond earrings or sleep with your locket or cross, the metal or gems contained therein may be too much of a load for your meridian system to handle.

And while I'm at it, let me harp a little on how awful perfumes and scented products are for you (and others). While many people prefer to live in denial and won't give up their odors for anyone, don't be surprised if people avoid you because they don't like the artificial smells you subject them to. Many folks, when they are exposed to perfumes or other toxic smells, react just as if they are being physically attacked. Their adrenals go in fight or flight mode. They start to talk fast and lose patience. They may become aggressive or depressed. On my Clinic door I have a sign that says scented products are not allowed. Yet still now and then someone will slip by and I'll pick up on the smell of fabric softener or hair spray or hand lotion. If you have brain fog, you may want to look to the stuff you rub or spray on your body as the culprit. And don't overlook the hair coloring you use. There are very fine hair colorings available at health stores and Fresh Fields that are safe and effective.

(If the above considerations sound too overwhelming, do not fear because muscle testing will reveal what is causing the disturbance.)

What's Behind Pollen Allergies, Any way?

Why do so many people suffer from pollen allergies in spring?

Spring is the season of love, romance, new beginnings. It's when the dance of the flowers begins, but for many, the appearance of blossoms is a sad occasion. While BioSET Allergy Elimination is a wonderful way to improve health, I would like to suggest to my patients that they look at the reason they cannot be in the presence of spring itself. In my practice, I notice that those who suffer the most from allergic reactions are those who feel unloved. In the romance department, they feel left out. People who feel deep loneliness and cut off from deep relationships appear to be more prone to allergies. I have suggested to some of my patients that they take steps to get "out there" and do some networking. To wait for a prince or princess to knock on the door is like waiting for Godot. Whether it's signing up for dance lessons or trying a dating service, the Universe needs to know you're interested in changing your life. Pollen allergies cause us to be weepy and wishy washy and I have found when people are that way in their life, there is no end to the allergies that can bother them. As soon as one is cleared, another comes along, because the cause has not been addressed and the cause is most often emotional.

Gentle Drainage Gentle Drainage Gentle Drain age

I tell most of my BioSET patients to stay on Gentle Drainage. It's not because I get rich selling bottles of the stuff. What Gentle Drainage is known for is getting your organs draining so the toxicity can be cleared in order to eliminate allergies successfully and permanently. What can happen if you don't stay on it? You can test positive to a bunch of allergies that would not be there if the body were draining. I can tell when my patients suddenly don't make the progress I think they should. When they start testing positive for every allergen in my test kits, I get suspicious and ask, "Are you taking the Gentle Drainage?"

"Well, no, I kind of stopped. I didn't think I'd need it anymore."

Please don't stop taking your Gentle Drainage until you're out of the allergy woods.
