toxins and the importance of keeping internally clean
Assimilation and elimination
These are the two key stones of what makes us tick in fact Edgar
cayce said if we could control these aspects of the human form we
could extend life to whatever we chose, that’s how important these
two principles are.
Assimilation is defined as the measure of the ability of any body to
utilize foods that we eat, some people think that having massive
doses of food will give them all that they need, they could not be
more wrong, it is all right shoving nutrition in but it is quite
another thing if the body can absorb it and use it in that form.
Typical assimilation rates might vary from 20% to 80% and nutrition
supplied in some forms will not be absorbed at all. That means out of
every 454 grams of food you might only absorb 20-80% of that
What happens to the food after you swallow it depends to a large
degree on the other three principles of your body namely circulation,
relaxation and elimination. Circulation is crucial if assimilation is
to maintained at high levels circulation is helped greatly by some
important factors;
exercise, especially cardiovascular apparently something like 50 or
so times as many blood vessels open up when exercising than just
sitting .WE have something like 60,000 miles of vessels mostly
capillary type so you can imagine the effect of increased blood flow
means
massage,
hydrotherapy treatments
and osteopathic adjustments
because the blood stream carries the rebuilding forces to the body
it is these channels which need to be clear and stimulated so that
the blood will flow to feed the cells and tissues.
Elimination
Every thing which your body does, every activity produces waste and
we get rid of that waste through the skin, the lungs, the kidneys and
the intestines. Major problems start to occur when any of these
important channels are stopped from doing their job, we start to
accumulate waste, bacteria start growing at alarming rates which
leads to all sorts of problems as we become toxic.
Imagine not cleaning up the kitchen very often –leaving waste –what
would happen ,your kitchen would become literally alive with all
sorts of creepy bacteria etc the same with our bodies .
The fact that poor elimination’s are the most cited cause of disease
within the Edgar cayce research papers totaling over 14000 gives you
some idea just how important this aspect really is. It gives you an
idea of the importance of getting rid of toxins, rid of waste from
our bodies.

a big and major part include.

So if you are suffering from any of these complaints it is highly
likely that you could be helped by increasing your bodies ability to
rid itself of toxins and wastes. It is as simple as that.
Phenomenal results have been obtained from increasing your
elimination’s. Peoples lives have literally been turned around, we
have thousands of testimonials – just e mail me
and I will send you some .
OK so what can you do to boost those all important elimination’s.
just like we wash each day to keep clean , occasionally we need to
have an internal bath too. These are called enemas and colonics,
cayce even said one should have a colonic every few months to stay in
tip top shape. I think it was john Wayne who when he died was
carrying over 40lbs of dead matter inside his insides.
Benefits
A Boosted immune system, Improved functioning of the digestive system
Increased hydration means improved concentration, Increased energy
levels, Improved sense of well being, Restful sleep
The benefits of detoxifying your body are both short and long term.
Immediately after detoxifying you might notice increased mental
awareness, more energy, more comfortable digestion of foods, and
better absorption of nutrients, as well as an overall feeling of
better health. Long-term benefits can be a reduction of chronic
illnesses
A gentle cleansing can benefit the body in many ways including
improved health, mental clarity, restful sleep and recharged
vitality. The emergence of your true inner beauty will become as
clear as your skin, eyes and shining hair.
It is not possible to use an enema as such, in people who have a
colostomy or ileostomy
one of the most vital elements in our bodies.
Most people are shocked to learn that the average person holds
between 5 and 10 pounds of putrefied faecal matter and other foul
material in the body.
The bowel walls become encrusted with un-eliminated faecal matter,
creating a "catch 22" situation. Not only does this toxic material
hamper the absorption of vital nutrients through the intestinal wall
and provide a breeding ground for unhealthy bacteria, but it also
causes the blood capillaries lining the intestinal wall to begin
absorbing these toxins into the bloodstream, consequently polluting
all of our organs
The UK is said to have the highest incidence of bowel cancer in the
world with about 20,000 new cases per year. One in three people
consulting their doctors have bowel problems, such as diverticulitis,
Colitis, Crohn’s Disease, and Candida infections.
A major part of these problems will be due to neglected inner
hygiene.
Infants are a perfect example. Ask any mother for proof—a baby will
eat and immediately eliminate. Their new digestive systems have not
had time to develop the mal-absorption problems caused by improper
diet, environmental toxins and stress.
Faulty digestion and elimination develop in an individual through the
years of improper lifestyle and dietary habits.
According to Dr Bernard Jensen, the famous American naturopath, after
working with more than 350,000 patients over a 50-year span, not one
of them was free from some form of bowel disorder. He concluded that
all sick people have bowel problems and all sick people are tired and
toxin laden. Dr Jensens Guide to Better Bowel Care.
Medical autopsies have revealed that impacted waste and blockages to
parts of the bowel that usually have a diameter of up to 20cm, have
only a 1cm passage for the waste to pass through. It is not
surprising that the incidence of bowel disease and bowel cancer is on
the increase.
Michael Gearin-Tosh is a fellow of St Catherine’s College in the
University of Oxford. He has famously achieved long-term survival
with myeloma, an aggressive cancer with an average survival of one
year.
Living Proof is his remarkable story, diagnosed with cancer when he
was fifty-four, Michael refused the immediate treatment consultants
urged him to undergo and embarked on his own quest to overcome the
illness. His quest led him to embarking in Gerson Therapy, of which
coffee enemas are a daily and integral part of his treatment. Many
years on he maintains a daily regime incorporating them, and has
remained in remission against overwhelming odds.
Michael Gearin-Tosh, the author of Living Proof (ISBN 0-7432-0680-0)
As I prescribe in my book Living Proof, coffee enemas have played a
crucial part in my survival. I recommend them strongly and, contrary
to what you may think, they are not disagreeable. They are soothing
and invigorating."
Lymph massage
Better lymph movement. Lymph is a milky white fluid that drains
impurities and waste away from the tissue cells. A component of these
wastes is toxins which are the by-products of metabolism. So, it is a
vital to our health. Muscular contraction has a pumping effect that
moves lymph. Massage and exercise help to move lymph.
Lymph massage technique developed by Danish medical doctor E. Vodder
and his wife in 1932. Vodder, who also discovered and developed a new
branch of medicine called Lymphology, created this method primarily
to treat patients with swollen necks or limbs due to poor lymph flow.
He applied a series of particular rhythmic, light strokes along the
lymphatic vessels and surrounding tissues to help the flow of lymph
toward the heart thus reduce swelling in the affected area.
Fasting is one of the best methods of getting rid of toxins, but this
too requires similar supervision when it is undertaken for more than
a day or two. Supplementation with nutrients, especially sodium-
ascorbate
Regular emptying of the bowels is an all-important element in the
treatment of toxicity. Diet changes may be needed to improve the
function of the bowel. In addition massage movements to the abdomen
and in particular to the colon will reduce constipation and in so
doing speed up the elimination of toxins. Digestion is also improved
with the massage and with this the metabolism of nutrients and
antioxidants which are needed to neutralise the toxicity. Further
assistance is provided by the transportation of lymphocytes and
phagocytes which takes place with the enhanced blood circulation and
lymph flow.
Improving the liver function
A major function of the liver is to destroy worn-out blood cells,
bacteria and toxic substances. It also removes drugs like penicillin,
ampicillin, erythromycin and sulfonamides. The liver is said to be a
semi-solid organ which is encased by a fibrous capsule. As it is
largely protected by the rib cage direct manipulation is limited to
its lower borders. The organ is however influenced by external
pressures such as those exerted by the diaphragm from above, an
adjoining viscerus or indeed that of palpation. With the squeezing
massage movement described here sufficient pressure is exerted
through the tissues to influence its circulation. Massage can also
assist the portal circulation to the liver through the hepatic portal
vein. It also increases the oxygenated blood supply to the liver via
the hepatic artery. Circulation is also enhanced along the lobes of
the liver, the central and hepatic veins, and to the superior vena
cava. Secretion of bile is augmented to some extent by the advanced
blood flow and by the mechanical pressure of the technique.
In extreme cases of toxemia cayce recommended a controlled fast or a
three-day apple diet to clear the system and restore balance.That is
for three days eat nothing but apples johnathon s ,oregon reds and
the like and on the third day 2 teaspoons of olive oil .
I have done it and many others reports indicate feelings of euphoria
in many people.
A great deal of elimination takes place through the lungs by means
of deep breathing and cayce placed great emphasis on this aspect
recommending some of the breathing techniques as used in yoga.
Of course exercise pays a very important role here driving out wastes
into the lungs and speeding up circulation, helping digestion,
helping elimination of wastes through the skin.
Cayce used certain foods to help elimination such as leafy vegetables
and in the mornings or evenings stewed figs, raisons, apricots or
pears occasionally.
Circulation
Just impeding the flow to the brain for a few minutes will cause
permanent brain damage such is the importance of good circulation.
The blood feeds our cells our tissues, the better the circulation the
better we feel .For all the bodies rebuilding forces come through
quicker with good circulation. Not only does the blood carry the so
important chemicals, which feed our cells, but also the lymphatic
system carries away our wastes. Exercise helps circulation in a big
way as does massage hydrotherapy, osteopathy and other manipulative
therapies.
The cayce detox
Recommended in hundreds of readings was the cayce detox, the
elimination process was found to be poor in thousands of people and
the subsequent build up of toxins and poisons was found in hundreds
of people. The cayce detox was to help rid the body of these wastes.
As the lay person can easily appreciate the situation in your very
own kitchen if you did not clean up after every meal, bacteria would
have a great time multiplying and contaminating places every where.
So many thousands of people have been helped greatly by helping the
body get rid of waste the importance of this action cannot be
overestimated.
Cayce prescribed the three day apple diet where for three days you
would eat nothing but apples of the sheep nosed type preferably
organic types like Johnathons, Delicious, Oregon reds, Arkansas black
and water. At the end of the third day a two spoons full of olive oil
was taken.
The success that people described having done this regime was
uplifting, revitalizing, feeling great, an euphoric feeling, greater
mental clarity and physically more energy. It is one of the most
effective ways of preventing disease. In fact cayce said that it
would cleanse all toxic forces from any body. According to Harold
reillys book he himself tried to detox three times a year.
Massage
Frequently prescribed by cayce in hundreds of readings, massage has
been used for thousands of years with extremely good effects, some of
the benefits are increased circulation, increased elimination. It can
provide relaxation or stimulation depending on how it is given it can
help with emotionally affected people and children have developed
better from its use it will help with depression and a hundred more
complaints. It affects every part of the body –nerves organs, glands,
circulation and muscular tone. Massage will help all people and cayce
advised having one from thirtyminutes to an hour and a half-using
cold pressed peanut and olive oil at least once a week. It can free
up joints, relieve pain and soreness.
Cayce often said that the person giving the massage have some
affinity with the patient. It can also build bridges of brotherly or
sisterly love between people. Children with major behavioral problems
have shown marked improvements in their behavior. Cayce said those
who would take a peanut oil rub each week need never fear arthritis.
Other means of increasing elimination’s are utilising osteopathic
adjustments but you will need a specialist to do this in the main but
this is one of the best methods apparently.
Many times cayce said that adjustments were necessary as the ganglia
feeding organs had somehow become impeded and needed to be adjusted ,
this caused pain and slowing circulation .
Hydrotherapy is another method used to aid eliminations through the
skin and takes the form as a sweat bath with certain chemicals added
to the vapor.
