Assimilation and elimination: important concepts to health

[Guest guest]

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.

 

Some of the diseases which elimination problems either cause or play

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,

 

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.

 

 

Also two must have books on the medical side which give the

treatments, the causes and the philosophy of the healing of his work

are

The Encyclopaedia of Healing by Reba Ann Karp ISBN 0-446-30981-8

This is a condensed version of the readings giving causes and cures

and some feed back from people using the treatments -Valuable

 

The Edgar Cayce Handbook for Health through Drugless therapy by Hugh

Lynn Cayce Harold Reilly and Ruth Hagy Brod ISBN 0-02-601960-4

Harold reillys 43 years of experience of working with the readings

the results he, got the treatments he gave- a very valuable book

 

Also as ever Spiritual healing has been shown to be of huge and

extreme benefit in many illnesses, as millions have testified, this

can also help those who are just about to pass to the other side of

life
