I’d like to share one of my very favorite healing techniques. It is a very simple apparatus that I have used for years on nearly a daily basis day and/or night to both re-energize and relax. Without needing any external energy source beyond that of my own body, this apparatus makes it possible to feel reinvigorated within ten to fifteen minutes. And, for a deeper effect, I use it for an hour or two. It was created nearly a century ago by a pilot for the British Royal Air Force who was seriously injured when his plane malfunctioned on take-off. He recovered sufficiently to resume flying for another three years, but in 1918 he was forced back into the hospital with an array of symptoms stemming from the original injury.
Chewing
Over the last several months I have discussed some cutting edge technology that comes from abroad. So, for a change of pace, let’s consider some old technology, some very old technology, innate to all of us. The incredible mechanism built into our jaws that allows us to chew. It isn’t really ‘low tech’, because these mechanisms are actually quite complicated and involve not only a highly developed group of specialized muscles, but also many aspects of the nervous system. This includes the innervation of these muscles and the sense of taste, the perception of size and place of the food morsels, as well as coordination with the impulse to swallow. All these are more or less involuntary activities carried on without our conscious input. But chewing, like breathing, is one of the few physiological activities that we can also control consciously.
Cleansing
We don’t like to think about it so much, but a lot of us are walking around with a gut full of parasites. We’d rather like to believe that it is a problem for people in the third world – or for those travelers returning with La Tourista from Mexico, Africa or India. Unfortunately, that isn’t necessarily the case. We have plenty of similar organisms right here – and plenty of opportunities to become infected with them. The fact is that a lot of people who haven’t ventured past our borders are experiencing compromised health because, unbeknownst to them, they have a chronic parasitic infestation.
Cold Wet Socks
This is a great treatment for all sorts of infections and inflammations in the upper body. It is simple to do and you don't anything but some socks and some water... The wet sock treatment is best if repeated for three nights in a row, or as instructed.
Indications: Sore throat or any inflammation or infection of the throat, neck pain, ear infections, headaches, migraines, nasal congestion, upper respiratory infections, coughs, bronchitis, and sinus infections.
Oil Pulling
Medical expenses got you down? Tired of what it costs to see the doctor or how much you are paying for insurance? Disgusted that the healthcare provider you want to consult isn’t covered by the insurance anyhow? Can’t pay those hefty prices for those organic foods and supplements at the healthfood store? Here is an inexpensive way to improve you health by doing a simple cleanse that only requires a bottle of oil and about 20 minutes in the morning. It won’t take the place of good quality food and good quality healthcare, but it could have a significant impact on your wellbeing.
