The Water Therapy Programs

High Enemas:

You must use a high enema every other day with an implant afterwards. Use only distilled water for the high enema.

A soothing Implant can be eight ounces of Aloe Vera gel and 8 oz of distilled water.

A good detoxifying Implant can be two ounces of wheat grass juice with 16 ounces of water.

An Implant that is anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal is: 1-2 cloves of garlic blended into eight ounces of raw apple cider vinegar and eight ounces of distilled water.  The garlic implant is an excellent healing aid but it can be very intense.

Any of the healing herbs and foods available can be used as implants, use your imagination: An excellent blood-cleansing tea implant is red clover, or use Echinacea root tea for its immune-enhancing abilities

Hot and Cold Showers:

This is the most effective way to move the blood and create circulation.  This should be done at least twice daily, and for some people, up to four times a day.  Do the complete hot and cold shower. Start with hot water for one minute, then cold for one minute. Repeat this seven times, so the shower should last about fifteen minutes.

Apply the hot and cold changes directly to the affected area, such as the breast, or the head, or the genitals.  Massage the area vigorously while you do the hot and cold showers.

Castor oil packs nightly are critical. There’s no excuse for skipping them.

Every evening, do a castor oil pack over the affected area and leave on all night long. You can do multiple castor oil packs over different parts of the body. They can be kept warm with a hot water bottle. Soak a minimum one-foot square piece of flannel. Heat the castor oil pack before you put it on.

Don’t be stingy with the size of the castor oil pack, or with the amount of oil you put on it. It is better to cover more of the area of your body than less. If you use more, you’re cleansing the nearby areas which are probably infected or congested also.

Go to your local fabric store and get some cotton muslin that’s used for making baby diapers. Buy a good amount and cut it up as needed.”

Here are a few suggestions for making thicker pads.

If you want a thicker pad buy heavier weight cotton and put it on, and kind of sandwich it in-between two pieces of the cotton muslin. This makes a really nice, thick pack.  If you have the time you can sew multiple layers of Cotton Muslin together with cotton batting inside.  Buy some good cotton batting or cotton felt, and put it inside, one layer of cotton batting and one of muslin on each side and stitch together around the edges.  This will hold a lot of castor oil.  Using more castor oil available over the affected area will allow the effect to go deeper and be more effective.

Cover the pack with plastic to keep it from soaking into your blankets and sheets–which may get stained anyway.  Cover the castor oil pack with plastic wrap, and then put on a thick, terry cloth robe.  To protect your sheets and mattress use the blue bed liners.

Baking soda, in addition to soap, is helpful in getting the oil off the skin in the morning. The baking soda seems to soak up the oil.

When the pack becomes stained with colors from drawing out toxins it is time to throw it away and replace it with a fresh pack.  It is not necessary to refrigerate the castor oil pack during the day.

A full body pack can be done by soaking a sleeping bag in castor oil and sleeping in it. If you plan to do this you will need to purchase a large amount of plastic sheeting to lay the bag on.

Be careful with castor oil, because it can spoil all your bedding and furniture. Use huge plastic garbage bags laid out flat underneath the the sheets. When I do a castor oil compress on my head, I cover the whole pillow, and the headboard of the bed, with plastic. When doing castor oil packs, use underwear and T-shirts that you keep separate from your regular underwear. Castor oil can leak into your undergarments, and you will never really get all of it out.

The Cold Sheet Routine Must Be Done if you want to get well.

The cold sheet treatment, also known as the artificial fever routine must be a part of any healing program. Do the cold sheet treatment once or twice a week.  You will become more comfortable with this procedure by the second or third time around.  Complete detailed instructions are available on-line in our Hydrotherapy E-book.

Do NOT skip the cold sheet routine and do everything else.

There is NO herb or physical exercise that substitutes for this treatment. If you wimp out, your body loses.

The Importance of bowel cleansing can never be over stated.  Sadly we humans like to believe we are just about normal.  Many have no idea how sluggish their bowels actually are.  It is impossible to live the experience of another.  We can observe from inches away.  Support them with loads of heart felt compassion and physical care, but at the end of the day that is not our life.  The pain or joy we have been privy to belongs to someone else.

One of the most personal functions in life is the elimination of waste from our bodies.  This is something we seldom share with anyone.  The isolation alone precludes the ability of judging how the body is functioning.    The best information I’ve read on the subject of what normal bowel function looks like is: The Bowels are functioning normally when there is a large bowel movement shortly after rising in the morning, and an addition movement after each major meal.  This would be an average of 3 to 5 movement a day depending on how many meals you eat.  The texture of the movement should be slightly formed and the consistence of peanut butter.

Preventing hard fecal matter from forming in the bowel is the first step in preventing hemorrhoids. Pushing hard fecal matter through the soft tissue of the rectum is what causes hemorrhoids.  The hard material breaks down the tissue until the veins begin floating to the surface causing much discomfort.

Hardly a day goes by without the subject of liver flushing popping up.  Either someone needs to do the incurables program for a major issue or their program was working very well but has stalled and they want to know why.  A good understanding of flushing the liver is important for anyone wanting to hold onto or regain their health.  The liver is the vacuum of the body.  No infection, disease or condition is healed or cleared from the body without the aid of the liver.  The Liver is the more important detoxing organ in the body.

Backed Up Liver Needs to Be Flushed

Many members start a program to heal an issue and are thrilled during the first few weeks to see their symptoms disappearing and their energy rebounding.  Then about a month or two into their healing or rebuilding programs they begin slipping backwards.  I get a call or email asking for help because the herbs are no longer working.  Since I know the herbs do not stop having the nutrients needed to heal the body the real question is what has stopped working.  The answer most often is, the Liver is full and needs a bit of attention.  A nice week of liver flushing and the program is back on track.

Liver Flush Once A Month

When doing a good healing program of any kind it would be advisable to flush the liver at least once a month if not more often.  While clearing an infection or some other system wide issue it might be necessary to do an ELF every week. Flushing the liver is a safe simple way of supporting this important filter to work more effectively as it clears the issues from your body. I have personally seen stubborn knee pain cleared by a week of juice fasting and liver flushing.  Anyone choosing to eat unprocessed natural foods can expect to feel better. The body is being nourished and supported with the needed nutrients for building healthy flesh and blood.

So why do so many feel so bad when they first begin to clean up their food program?

Several reasons factor in.  The first place to check out is the bowels.  Make sure this important organ is open and working well before beginning any healing program or cleanse.  A healing crisis can be triggered by something as simple as adding a glass of fresh fruit or vegetable juice to your food program.  The body receives a healthy dose of alkaline rich food and will not need permission to begin cleaning house.  A good example of this would be to throw soapy water on a dirty floor.  The water will immediately cut the filth and absorb all it can carry away.   The moment the clean soapy water touches the floor it begins dissolving curd and breaking down the grim.

Alkaline; the Body’s de-grimer

This is how alkaline nutrition works in the body.  All fresh, unprocessed, uncooked foods are alkaline rich.  Toss fresh juice into a toxic system and watch the waste rise to the surface.  Sometimes the reaction will be so strong the drink will come right back up.  This is because the system is backed up and the waste being released cannot find an open door through the normal channel so all the toxins suddenly released into the stomach must go somewhere.  Don’t be deterred, get the bowels moving well and the body will be able to process the waste out normally.

Immune Boosting with Echinacea

Boosting the immune system is another important part of any healing or building program.  There must be enough immune cells to attach and neutralize each piece of waste, toxins ect… flushed out.  If the immune system is unable to neutralize the waste then it will be reabsorbed back into the organs and tissue it was drawn from.  When the toxins are reabsorbed the body will begin to feel toxic and sick.  The saying “run over by a mac truck” comes to mind.  The head can ache, muscle and joint pain, nausea, loose bowels, mental confusion, depression ect…This is the healing crisis.

Foundational Programs

The best way to begin any new health building program is to start at the beginning.  The three Foundational Programs are for everyone.  1) Bowel Cleansing; 2) Immune Boosting with Echinacea; 3) Superfood & Fresh Juices.

Once these programs are established the sky is the limit.  You can begin the health building programs without fear of “the healing crisis” normally expected during the first few days of any good program.
