Flu and the Electric Body

This past cold and flu season was one of the worst in history, many people were very sick and several died as a result of contracting this deadly strain of flu. One of my bodywork clients came down with this terrible strain of flu only 2 days after she was in for a session. I'm certain she was  carrying the flu bug when she was in for her session, yet neither Abby,  myself or any of our clients that visited the office after her came down with the flu. (Incidentally, I worked with this client and was in direct contact with her for over an hour.) I'm convinced, although I have no way of scientifically proving my conviction, that  the reason none of us even got a sniffle is due to the following reasons: 

Dr. Robert O Becker in his book, The Body Electric, establishes that the human body has an electrical frequency. Much about a person’s health can be determined by their frequency. A healthy body frequency is 62-72 Hz. When the frequency drops, the immune system is compromised and cold, flu symptoms can appear. Disease begins, colds invade at 
59-60 Hz. Below a frequency of 55 Hz, diseases like candida may take hold; Epstein Bar at 52 Hz and cancer at 42 Hz.

According to Dr. Royal R. Rife, every disease has a frequency. He found that certain frequencies prevent the development of disease and others destroy disease. Substances with higher frequency will destroy diseases of lower frequency. "Thieves" has a frequency of 150 Hz. It was tested by Weber State University to have 99.96% kill rate on airborne bacteria.

Neuromuscular Biofeedback (Kinesiology)

Many of my clients as well as newsletter subscribers are aware of my love of "Touch For Health".  The addition of the BodyTalk System(TM) to my training has strengthened my belief that in each of lies an innate knowing of who we are and what makes our bodies work. Neuromuscular biofeedback provides the practitioner with a "yes" or "no" answer to any question that is asked of the body, thus allowing the practitioner to tap into the innate wisdom to determine what is needed by the body. Although I have a few clients that think neuromuscular biofeedback is "too weird", most of my clients allow me to use this feedback to determine what type of bodywork session is needed by the body in that particular session. Their body will tell me whether it wants deep tissue work, reflexology, the Muscle Release Technique, BodyTalk(TM) and etc. 

I have used feedback  to determine whether or not a colonic session was safe for an elderly gentleman that had not had a bowel movement for over a week. His body told me cleansing was a priority but when I asked the body if a colonic was "safe" to do, his body responded with an emphatic "NO". Further questioning determined it was not safe due to elevated blood pressure. His body did say the following techniques were not only safe but were also priorities: 

Of all the bodywork modalities I know, the one modality that is always not only a priority as part of the session, but is also safe, is the use of the Solfeggio Frequency tuning forks. Using kinesiology, I thought I had found a very simple explanation as to why the Solfeggio frequencies are always a priority and safe to use. I thought it was simply because the frequencies enhance any other modality by aligning the body, mind and spirit as a cohesive whole, but I was wrong.

When doing BodyTalk(TM) you ask the body questions and when you come up with a body part, organ, gland and etc. that needs synchronization you then ask do we need to go "further" with this. For example lets say we've come up with the gallbladder as a priority. We then ask the question "further" to find out if it is the whole gallbladder that needs synchronization or do we need to go further or deeper as to what is needed by the gallbladder such as say the bile. You keep asking "further" until the body says "NO" you don't need to go further. 

I used the above BodyTalk(TM) technique to find out why the Solfeggio Frequencies always came up as a priority and were safe as part of a session. It didn't seem to matter what question was asked, I kept getting the reply of "YES" when I asked further. I became so frustrated with not being able to find that "NO" you don't need to go further that I decided to give it a rest for awhile. Then one day while I was preparing some new material for my SomaEnergetics(TM) workshop I saw the words "Connect with Source" on the logo, so I immediately asked my body (yes you can get a yes & no reply from your own body)..."Are the Solfeggio Frequency forks a priority because we Connect with Source?"...... "Yes" .....Further...... "NO" Are the Solfeggio Frequency forks safe because we are Connecting with Source"?....."Yes"......Further...."NO". Now I had to know if this applied to everyone. Thus, far I've gotten the same reply from all the bodies I have asked, even those few clients that think that both BodyTalk(TM) and the tuning forks are weird. These clients have no idea what they are missing out on. 

I've discovered the forks also enhance Young Livings Essential Oils helping the oils resonate for a longer period of time within or on the body. Due to this discovery I started using the Solfeggio forks along with the Rain Drop Technique and came up with a session I call the "Body Harmonizing Session". This 90 minute session is designed for total body, mind and spirit relaxation. The session begins with the “Om” tuning fork to quiet the mind, allowing the client to begin entering a state of deep relaxation. Four wonderful oil blends, “Harmony”, “Humility”, “Dream Catcher” and “Joy” are then applied over the heart, temples and wrists.  The Solfeggio frequency tuning forks are then used over the "chakras"  going down the front of the body. A persons mind and spirit is now prepared to receive a caring and giving full body massage that penetrates to the depth of their being. The "Body Harmonizing Session" ends with once again using the healing, soothing and relaxing tones of the Solfeggio Forks to raise your “life force” from the souls of your feet to the top of your head and beyond..."Connecting with Source". 

Benefits of the oils used in the Body Harmonizing Session:

We all know there are changes we need to make in our life. The reason I choose these particular blends is because we have found that the SomaEnergetics(TM) "Energy Vitality Technique", in addition to being very calming, soothing and providing subtle physical changes seems to give a person the Energy to Make The Changes! In my opinion the use of these oils and the Solfeggio Frequencies go hand in hand to Harmonize the Body for these changes. Needless to say other oils, depending on what one wants to accomplish can be used as well and the Solfeggio Frequency forks will enhance the oils ability to resonate within the body for longer periods of time.

I know there are a lot of people that use Young Living Essential Oils and there are several distributors also using Rife Technology along with the oils. I encourage you to use the oils and/or Rife Technology on the physical body and you'll be amazed at how the Solfeggio Frequencies used on the energy field surrounding the body will enhance the benefits of both. Plus, the Solfeggio Frequency Forks are a lot cheaper at $299.00 compared to the Energy Wellness Machine priced between $1995.00 & $2495.00. Not ready to invest $299.00 for the Solfeggio Frequency Forks but are curious about sound therapy? Try the Body Tuners, at only $47.00 for a set of two forks this is a great way to get started with sound therapy.

If you are interested in attending my SomaEnergetics(TM) Workshop on March 20th and 21st 2004 there is still time and space left to register. You do not need to be a therapist of any type in order to learn this valuable and useful modality. Join us for a fun, rewarding and educational weekend that could give you the Energy to Change Your Life Forever!

Interested in hosting a SomaEnergetics Workshop? Get 10-12 friends, or people together for a workshop within the continental USA and I'll bring the workshop to you. 

What does this have to do with cleansing?

I truly believe the body is electric. When are we considered to be legally dead? It's not when the heart stops beating, it's when there is no electrical output by the brain. I am also a big believer that emotional issues can manifest into very real physical problems. Those people that have a difficult time of letting go of past emotional issues, in other words wanting to hold onto their crap both literally and figuratively will always have issues with digestion and their colon. By using BodyTalk(TM), Emotional Balancing Techniques, the Spirit setting on the Infratonic 8, essential oils and Solfeggio Frequency tuning forks we can open up the energy channels for deep cleansing and healing of the body, mind and spirit by  "Connecting with Source"!

Brief History of Colon Hydrotherapy

Colon hydrotherapy or colonics. Colon Lavage was first recorded 1500 B.C. in the ancient Egyptian document, Ebers Papyrus, which dealt with the practice of medicine.

Hippocrates, the father of modern day medicine, in the fourth century B.C., recorded using colonics for correcting fevers and hundreds of other medical conditions. Colon hydrotherapy was taught in all the ancient Greek medical schools. Galen in the second century A.D. was a proponent of colonics for just about every known medical condition of that day. Pare, in 1600 A.D., offered the first medical distinction between colon hydrotherapy and enemas. 

At an early time in America . . . Enemas were a commonly used procedure to help maintain health and stave off disease. For example, before the departure of the Lewis and Clarke expedition, a physician instructed them in the appropriateness of using enemas in cases of fever and illness. 

Our grandparents and great-grandparents grew up with the use of enemas as a widely accepted procedure for reversing the onset of illness.

Colon therapy since the turn of the century has experienced periods of popularity alternating with periods of reaction. The factors that contributed mainly to this ambivalence primarily was due to the administration of colon hydrotherapy by untrained, unskilled, nonprofessionals. 

This changed about 1910 when the therapy gained the attention of such physicians as James A. Wiltsie M.D., and Joseph E.G. Waddington M.D.. A great value was placed on the therapeutic benefits of this modality.

The philosophy attributed to colon hydrotherapy by tens of thousands of medical doctors of this era was depicted by Dr. Waddington: “Abnormal functioning of the intestinal canal is the precursor of much ill health, especially of chronic disease conditions. Restoration of physiologic intestinal elimination is often the first, but too often ignored, important preliminary to eventual restoration of health in general.”

Dr. Wilsie contended that: “Our knowledge of the normal and abnormal physiology of the colon, and of its pathology and management has not kept pace with that of many organs and systems of the body. As long as we continue to assume that the colon will take care of itself, just that long will we remain in complete ignorance of perhaps the most important source of ill health in the whole body.”

In the early 1900's in Battle Creek, Michigan . . . John H. Kellogg, M.D., extensively used colon therapy on some forty thousand of his patients. In 1917 he reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association -- that in all but 20 cases -- he used no surgery for the treatment of gastrointestinal disease in his patients.

In the last several years there has been a resurgence of interest in alternative medicine and personal health care responsibility. Once again people are discovering the many health benefits of maintaining a strong and biologically sound colon. This return to using colon therapy has been bolstered by the teaching of sophisticated colon therapy Techniques, and the technological advancements of hydrotherapy instrumentation making colon hydrotherapy safer than a home enema. 

Unfortunately, through misconception, misunderstanding, and preconceived emotionalism, on the part of those who control our medical profession, controversy over colon hydrotherapy is once again under attack!

(For the most part the following is from an I-ACT quarterly)

Approximately 2 months ago I-ACT (International Association Colon Hydrotherapy) supported a suit for a fellow colon hydrotherapist against the Texas Attorney General, the Texas Department of Health, and certain named individuals in an effort to get the therapist back in business. The suit alleged a violation of her constitutional rights. The state of Texas, then, in what is believed to be a retaliatory slap, filed suit against, six entities, including I-ACT, the class 3 Study Group, the therapist, etc. The state alleges colonics are unsafe and dangerous to the public, and "allege the defendants advertised, promoted, sold or used these devices (sic-colon hydrotherapy equipment) without physician involvement, a serious public health threat." 

As you can imagine, defending the profession against these suits is extremely expensive, I-ACT must win this to help insure this type of action does not spread to other states and countries. In 2003 I-ACT spent in excess of $100,000 in legislative and legal actions to defend the profession. This is quite a drain on their financial assets. To help offset these expenses the Board of I-ACT increased dues for 2004 to $150.00 (from $125.00).

I-ACT Has Also Asked for Therapist's Help In The Following Ways:

First: They are seeking Love Offerings- Donations to support the profession. They have asked each member of I-ACT to commit sending in the income from just one session per month.

Second: They are asking for Love Offerings from our clients. They have asked that we solicit just $10.00 from each client to be mailed to I-ACT to help insure their right to seek the treatment. 

Third: Seek support and donations from companies, doctors, and other professionals in our area. 

Although it was not suggested, I have decided to request Love Offerings from email newsletter subscribers that are interested in helping defend colon hydrotherapy not to mention an individual's Right to Self Treat!

Who & Why?

I can't help but wonder who is behind the attacks on colon hydrotherapy and for what reason. Is it the drug companies or the medical doctors? Are they truly concerned about your health and safety or is it the almighty dollar? 

How silly it is for medical doctors not to understand their own history on the  other hand maybe they do. In recent years more and more hospitals are offering different forms of alterative treatments such as acupuncture and massage therapy. Are they wanting to so regulate colonics  that it will not only be necessary for you to have a doctors prescription to receive a colonic, but the colonic will also have to be administered by a doctor's assistant? Can you imagine the cost of a colonic session then. By the time you add together the cost of a doctors visit to first recommend who knows how many tests just to get a prescription for colonics and then the cost of the colonic sessions. Oh yes, insurance would pay for it, but there goes the insurance premiums again. 

Perhaps, they're just interested in getting rid of colon hydrotherapy completely. We all know that will never happen. Oh, they might put trained and skilled therapist that know the contraindications for colonics and use proper equipment out of business but then what? The unskilled and untrained would once again pop up providing colonics with unsafe and untested equipment such as a five gallon bucket hanging on the wall, not to mention using a piece of flexible tubing they bought at the hardware store for the rectal tube. Who knows what kind of toxins would leach from tubing that is not FDA approved. 

What about the doctor's that claim colonics depletes the body of friendly bacteria? This is why I recommend clients take a probiotic not only after each colonic session but also on a regular basis. When was the last time a doctor told you that you need to take a good probiotic when you are finished with a round of antibiotics? There are a few that know the importance but a very few at the most. 

Speaking of antibiotics, antibiotic usage is usually the initial cause of developing a disease called c-diff.  Additionally, antibiotics are usually the cause of recurrent cases of c-diff. Who do you suppose writes the prescriptions for the antibiotics that cause c.diff? 

What is c.diff or Clostridium Difficile Colitis or antibiotic Associated Colitis? http://www.cdiffsupport.com/learn/
