A blockage can occur anywhere in the body. The condition is brought on by illness or injury affecting the removal of waste and influx of nutrients into the affected area.  For healing to occur blockage must be cleared and the affected area provided with an abundant supply of healing nutrients.  This can be done in a variety of ways depending on the blockage.

The Basics for clearing Blockage apply regardless of the cause or location of the blockage.  The bowels must be open and working well.  The work of supporting the immune system with Echinacea is an ongoing part of any healing program.  Supplying the body with the nutrients needed to build the immune system while healing and rebuilding the body is done by daily consuming nutrient rich juices and food.

Fever Flu Blockage: Dr. Christopher explains the body’s efforts to throw off waste through the skin during a flu or cold being prevented by a layer of mucus blocking up the small capillaries.  This blockage causes the body’s temperature to rise which liquidizes the fibrin and mucus allowing this waste to pass from the system through the skin.    Once the blockage has been cleared the waste is cleared and the fever dissipates.  It is important to work with a fever while not allowing the fever to burn out of control.

Clearing blockage from the lymphatic system which can show up as painful swollen lymph nodes can be done effectively with internal liver flushing.  For additional support apply the M&L salve and castor oil or Charcoal/ flax seed poultices over the swollen areas.  The Castor Oil will break up the congestion allowing movement of the waste from the blocked up area.  The Charcoal/ Flaxseed poultice draws infection and waste from the body.   Both types of packs are useful and can be alternated during the healing process.  Massage a bit of the M&L Salve over the area before applying either pack.  The salve will open the area allowing better action from the poultices and packs.

Injury caused blockage: A pulled or torn muscle or ligament will often result in a swollen condition around the injured area.  The body is trying to protect the area by building up a wall of fluid around the injury.  This blockage hinders healing and can be greatly reduced by the application of ice or cold water.  The application of BF&C slave at the time of a soft tissue injury will often prevent or greatly reduce the blockage and swelling bringing quick healing to the area.

Use Hydrotherapy for clearing blockage remaining from old injuries or illnesses.  Hot and Cold applications increases circulation allowing waste to be removed and nutrients supplied.  The application of hot and cold can be accomplished with buckets of water, a shower or soak in a tub.  Benefit is received when the hot application is followed quickly and dramatically with the intense cold application.  A good analogy is loading and firing a blood bullet into the affected area.  The Hot water loads the gun by bringing fresh blood over the affected area while the cold fires it, sending the blood deep into the blocked up area.  The more drama between the hot and cold changes the more power behind the blood bullet, the deeper and more effective the circulation through the blocked up area.

The SAD food program being consumed is seriously beginning to affect our children.  Health issues that used to be reserved for the middle aged are creeping into the preteen child.

The question has now been posed.  How young is too young to liver flush?

My answer is given along with a caution to remember that a child is to be handled with loving care.  Liver Flushing is a powerful healing tool but at the same time not the most pleasant of experiences.   When dealing with an immature mind that is unable to grasp the concepts involved it is best to make cleansing a party event.  The child will drink most anything if presented in the right way.  Make cleansing fun, do it with the child taking pains to keep the mood light and happy.

A child off the breast eating solid food can be flushed.  Unless there are physical issues requiring attention such as hives, for example, flushing a child this young is not something I would suggest.

Regular cleansing and liver flushing can begin when the child is between 2 and 4 years old.  Again I caution don’t overdo the cleansing on a small child.  Maybe, once a year have a liver cleansing party for the whole family, (and friends, these are truly special people).

The instructions for doing an ELF are in our Liver-flushing E-Book and available on Video in our Members area.  Here are a few suggestions for E.L.F.ing a child.

The only precondition for doing any type of Liver Flushing is THE BOWELS MUST BE OPEN and working well.  If necessary do an enema on the child.

Start out light.  A small child of 2 years would use around 2 oz of Olive oil and 2 oz Grapefruit juice.  This would equate to the adult dose of 8 oz Olive oil and 8 oz Grapefruit juice.

The first flush on such a little system might be better done with 1 oz or 1.5 oz of oil with the juice.  If the issue is serious enough to need to flush such a little person the flushing will likely need to be repeated. Start out with the smaller amount and see how the child responds to the work being done.

For the older child around 50 pounds give 1/3 the adult dose.  Normally round the weight to the nearest 25 pound mark for easier dosing.   The adult weight is set at 150 pounds.  A child of 75 lbs. would receive half the adult dose, or 4 ounces of olive oil in 4 oz grapefruit juice.

This rule can be applied, when dosing children, to all the herbal supports.

The child will look to the adult’s reaction when deciding how acceptable something, if the adults will keep a happy expression making a game out of it the child will go along easily.

When thinking of summer my mind is filled with all the great tastes and smells out of the garden.  Meals prepared with nothing but fresh fruits and vegetables right from nature.  This is also the best time of year for a good long juice fast filled with plenty of water and nutrition.

When doing a juice fast of any length there are several good items to use daily.

Fiber Plus Powder: Use a rounded teaspoon of fiber in a glass of juice or water each day.  This will add bulk to the bowels ensuring comfortable movements.

Superfood: Use 2 to 4 tablespoons three times a day for added energy.  Using the Superfood in a glass of fresh juice three times a day will not only keep the hungeries away but your energy will shoot through the roof.

Echinacea: Use an ounce a day for four days each week you are fasting.  The need for a strong immune system while juicing is huge.  All the fresh juices create an alkaline condition in the body which allows for deep down detoxing.  The entire system will be dumping waste.  Unless you want to feel like you’ve been run over by a freight train I strongly suggest using the Echinacea.

Carrot Juice: 16-32 ounces each day.  This will ensure the raw material is available to build the needed immune cells.  Juice your carrots first then build the rest of your vegetable juice on top the carrot juice.  Split into 16 oz portions and drink throughout the day.

Fruit Juice: Apple juice is always an excellent juice.  Here is a suggestion for a tasty blend of several different fruits.  This will produce about ½ gallon of juice.

8 Kale Leaves, 6 apples, 1 pear, ¼ pineapple, 1 cantaloupe

Using the fruit juices in the morning and vegetable juices in the afternoon is often found useful.  The fruit juice provide a nice pick up for starting the day.

Juice Once A Day: Many people make their fresh juice just as they are ready to consume it during the day.  Keeping up with all the juicing chores needed for a juice fast can become the biggest obstacle to doing one.  Here is a simple way to keep your juice fresh for the day.

Pick up a case of 16 oz Canning Jars.

Prepare the juice as you normally would.

Pour into the 16 oz jars until they are completely full, to the very brim.

Now screw the lid down and place in the fridge.

The juice will remain very fresh because there is no air in the bottle to degrade it.  Make the juice in the day for the day.  This method enables all the juice to be made once a day for the entire day.

Simply stated Hydrotherapy is using water in a therapeutic way.  The power of any healing remedy is enhanced with the use of hydrotherapy.

It is important to flush the body internally with plenty of clear fresh water.  Drinking the nutritionally rich juices aid in rebuilding a sick body but they do not do the work of flushing waste from the system.  Drinking a good amount of water each day is as important to the health of the body as breathing clean air or eating healthy nourishing foods.

Using water externally to cleanse and open our skin is also an important part of healing.  Taking a detoxing herbal bath can revitalize the entire system simulating the removal of waste through the skin as well as the liver and kidneys.

Anytime there is disease or injury there is blockage.  A strong therapeutic form of hydrotherapy is commonly called doing “Hot’s and Cold’s”.  Alternating the hot and cold water over an affected area will effectively blast through blockage, allowing the body to flood the diseased or injured part with fresh nutrient rich blood.  It does no good taking in all the great healing herbs and juices if the nutrition is blocked form the injured or diseased areas of the body.

Consider you want to fire a blood bullet through to blockage around a diseased or injured area.  The Hot water loads the gun.  Use water as hot as can be tolerated.  Do not scald your skin.  Turn the water as hot as you can tolerate without injury.  With your hand wand concentrate the heat over the affected area until the skin is pink with fresh blood.  When heat is applied to the body the blood in pushed to the surface to cool the area. Fresh cooling blood in brought to the area.

Now it is time to fire the blood bullet as deeply as possible through the blockage and into the affected area. The more dramatic the change between hot and cold the more power behind the blood forcing it deeper into the blocked up areas. This can be done in one of two ways.

1) Turn the flow of water away from the body.  Now make the water completely cold.  IT will take a few seconds for the flow to change to cold.  As soon as the water is good and cold apply the flow back over the affected area.  Allow the flow to remain for a good 60 seconds before changing back to the hot.  Do at least seven “hots” and seven “colds”.

2) Before beginning fill a bucket or tub with ice and water.   After the affected area is well heated and filled with blood plunge the area into the ice water for a good 60 seconds. Do at least seven “hots” and seven “colds”.

When healing any major disease or injury the “Hots &Colds” should be done three times a day.  Failing to do the hydrotherapy often means the body does not have the ability to heal properly or clear the disease.

Maintaining a healthy body does not happen by accident.  The choices we make today will determine our quality of life tomorrow.  Continuing to fuel your body with cheap unhealthy food may not seem like a big deal when the body is young and full of vitality.   Consuming this type of food on into middle age will cause the body’s systems to weaken from malnutrition.   Early signs of aging begin to appear alongside any number of serious chronic conditions.    The body is starving for food with a stomach full of empty calories.

One of the issues that can appear is swollen enlarged lymph glands.   The more toxic the poisons and mucus materials taken into the system, the more often the glands accumulate this bad waste from the lymph system and we have glandular swellings over various parts of the body.

An impure blood stream, constipation and a generally toxic body condition cause the glands to swell up and become painful. These may be on the neck, under the armpits, groin, etc.

The first step in clearing the lymph system is to CLEAN UP THE FOOD PROGRAM.  Consume only the highest quality food from the best sources.
