THE TREE OF LIFE

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD ABOUT THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM?

Back to our Cellness approach, we are moving towards the entire inner field where all action takes place. This inner field is mostly subject to all the invisible movements correlated to our life processes. We do not see them but we feel their functioning and effects in our body, health and life qualities. The Lymphatic System is one of those vital systems, about which we have almost heard nothing and yet playing a crucial role on keeping our internal systems healthy and functioning properly. Lets learn more about our so called Tree of Life of our bodies, the Lymphatic System.

Below information has been extracted from Dr. C. Samuel West’s “Golden Seven Plus One”. At the end of the article you will find a brief information on Dr. Samuel West. 

A medical research had been conducted between 1930 and 1963, at the Harvard Medical School by Dr. Cecil K. Drinker, the Tulane School of Medicine by Dr. H. S. Mayerson, and at the Mississippi School of Medicine by Dr. Arthur C Guyton.

This research reveals that everywhere we have blood vessels going through our body bringing oxygen to our cells we have lymphatic vessels going side by side. The main purpose of the lymphatic vessels is to remove the excess blood protein and water from the spaces around our cells so every organ and every part of our body will be able to function properly and our body will be free of pain, loss of energy and disease.

The lymphatic system represents an accessory route by which fluids can flow from the interstitial spaces (the spaces around the cells) back into the blood. And, most important of all, the lymphatics can carry (blood) proteins and large particulate matter (dead cells and other toxicate matter) away from the tissue spaces, neither of which can be removed by absorption directly into the blood capillary.

We shall see that this removal of (blood) proteins from the interstitial spaces (by our lymphatic system) is an absolutely essential function without which we would die within about twenty four hours.  Dr. Arthur C. Guyton, Textbook of Medical Physiology.

The blood proteins are trapped around the cell spaces

Under the normal pressure in the blood stream, the blood proteins seep through the tiny pores of the capillary membranes all the time. Once they seep out into the spaces around the cells, there is not enough pressure out there to push the blood proteins back through the tiny pores of the capillary membranes. Therefore, the only way the blood proteins normally get back into the blood stream is through the lymphatics.

The main purpose of the blood proteins is to keep the water in the blood stream, but as they get “trapped” in the spaces around our cells, they pull sodium and water out of the blood stream which will cause inflammation, pain and every crippling or killer disease known to man.

The importance of the Lymphatic System

The cleansing process of the body is performed by a mechanism that is called the lymphatic circulation. Every solid structure in the body is bathed in lymph. There are approx. 12 quarts of lymph in the body compared to 3 quarts of blood plasma. The lymph in the capillaries is the irrigation water that brings minerals and nutrients to the cells.

The most important function of the lymphatics is to keep the blood proteins circulating. Other than that, their main function is to drain away the lymph that has lost its nutrients after the cells have extracted them. The “dead fluid”, produced as a result of cell work, must be continually drained away. At rest, the lymph system will drain away about 1.2-2.0 ml. of “dead fluid” per minute. During activity it can drain away about 20 ml. of “dead fluid” per minute.

Even though the lymph system acts like a modern sewage treatment facility, it is literally the tree of life inside the body because when this system fails to function properly, excess blood proteins along with excess fluid and poisons build up in the body and pain, loss of energy, infection and disease will take place.

Keep in mind that any mental, emotional or muscular activity puts cells to work and working cells put off poisons that must be carried of by the lymph system or they will dilate the capillaries and cause “trapped” proteins.

Research reveals that if the fluid medium in and around the cells was right, it would be impossible to damage or kill the cells.

To keep the cell environment clean, nutritious and chemically balanced, the lymph system must play its vital role.

When the lymphatic system does not work well, the resulting condition is called congestion. Congestion is a form of lymphatic stagnation.

An excessive amount of food, especially of that type which will trap the blood proteins such as salt, simple sugars, fats and the animal and dairy products are the main cause of congestion.

Scientific research published in the February 1951 issue of The Scientific American by W. Barry Wood, Jr. states that if there is fluid retention in the spaces around the cells (which we now know is due to “trapped” proteins) the white blood cells cannot ingest bacteria. Therefore, fluid retention from trapped proteins will make our bodies subject to infectious disease.

If the body was free of trapped proteins, the body would be in the dry state where there is no excess fluid around the cells. In this condition the white blood cells can act, even in the absence of antibody. Therefore, it would be impossible for us to have an infectious disease if we would prevent our blood proteins from becoming trapped.

Every cell is an electrical generator

Inside the cell there is a very delicate balance: the potassium level must remain high, and the sodium level must remain low. Anything that upsets this sodium-potassium balance inside the cell will damage or kill the cell.

What can upset this balance inside our cells? Our blood proteins. Because the trapped blood proteins in the spaces around the cells which carry a negative charge will pull the positive sodium ions to them and cause excess sodium outside the cell. This will upset the delicate sodium-potassium balance inside the cell.

Excess sodium outside the cell will also increase the fluid retention in the spaces around the cells to cause lack of oxygen and nutrients at the cell level. Therefore, if our plasma proteins get “trapped” in the spaces around our cells, we will not only have fluid retention, but we will also have excess sodium around our cells.

The rotation of sodium and potassium in and around the cell is called the sodium-potassium pump. Because sodium continually leaks into the cell and potassium continually leaks out of the cell, the main purpose of the pump is to pull excess sodium out of the cell and bring potassium, calcium, iron, glucose and other nutrients into the cell. This rotation of minerals creates an electrical field.

The whole body works electrically off of the energy produced by the sodium-potassium pump.

The loss of energy in our bodies is one of the first indications of trapped plasma proteins. Trapped plasma proteins in the spaces around the cells pull water and sodium which results as the fluid retention and excess sodium in these areas. When excess fluid and excess sodium comes out, the sodium-potassium level is reestablished and the generators turn on.

As a result Dr. West comes up with a basic formula and 7 major life-saving discoveries:

 

SEVEN GOLDEN LIFE-SAVING DISCOVERIES

1) Every cell in the body has a SODIUM-POTASSIUM PUMP in it that generates electricity which is POWER!

2) Everywhere we have a BLOOD VESSEL going through our body, we have a LYMPHATIC VESSEL going side by side with cells in between.

3) The purpose of the LYMPHATIC VESSELS is to pull out all the dead cells and poisons and excess water from the spaces around the cells, which keeps the cells in the “DRY STATE” with no excess water around the cells.

4) The cells have to be kept in the “DRY STATE” in order to get OXYGEN from the blood vessels.

5) BLOOD PROTEIN and WATER leave the BLOOD STREAM to ALTER the “DRY STATE” which is the CAUSE OF LACK OF OXYGEN AT the cell level.

6) Breaking the MENTAL (anger, loss of temper, holding grudges etc.), NUTRITIONAL (Man-made Tea, coffee, liquor “beer”, tobacco, drugs, too much salt, sugar, candy, cakes, ice cream, pop, and too much meat.), and PHYSICAL (being lazy and being a shallow breather), LAWS OF HEALTH is what brings the blood proteins and water out of the blood stream and produces lack of oxygen. Anything that will damage cells will cause the blood protein and water to leave the blood stream and alter the “Dry State” which is the actual cause of pain, loss of energy, and every disease on the face of this earth!

7) When we learn to obey the laws of health and ACTIVATE our LYMPHATIC VESSELS to CONTROL the BLOOD PROTEIN and WATER, there will be NO PAIN, NO LOSS OF ENERGY and NO DEATH by DISEASE.

In 1976, on the basis of this research, Dr. Samuel West discovers the Bio-Electric Gentle Bounce for Health and other bio-electric lymphasizing techniques, which enables people to relieve pain, speed up the healing process, and reverse injury and disease. 

Dr. West addresses 2 basic movements as the most effective forms of Lymphasizing; Deep breathing and moving up and down on a Lymphasizer. (here the term Lymphasizer is used to refer a mini-trampoline only to describe what it looks like, no further similarity is acknowledged)

“Jumping up and down is a form of Lymphasizing. As you move up and down, something magical begins to happen in your body. The blood protein research reveals that the lymph system pumps fluid and protein out of the tissue spaces each time the tissues are compressed or moved in any other way. At the bottom of the bounce, the one-way check valves close. At the top, they open and the lymph fluids are propelled through the system, just like they are when you breathe deeply.

…who know the value of a lymphasizer will spend most of their exercise time on one of these units. They don’t just exercise, they lymphasize”

Today the advanced form of this health enhancing movement is what we call the Rebounding – Breathwork. This simple collaboration of two vital movements provide our practitioners the opportunity to benefit utmost from the energizing effect of the brain chemistry diffused into their bodies as a result of relaxation, improved respiration and highly activated lymphatic and immune systems. No other exercise form provides such health (physical, mental, emotional) benefits in one basic form of movements which is easy, fun, convenient for everybody from any age or social status without applying pain or stress to the body. And we haven’t even started talking about the entire benefits…yet. Thats why we tend referring to it as the “basic movements in physical education and training” or “conscious movement for health” rather than exercising.

Dr. C. Samuel West is a chemist and lymphologist, holding two doctorates in the natural healing arts. He obtained his first doctorate degree as a Naprapathic physician in 1974 studying under Dr. Harold C. Swanstrom who was president of The American Naprapathic Association between 1948-1958, and was also the second president of the American Naprapathic Association in 1963. In February 1980, Dr. West obtained his second degree as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine from The American University of Natural Therapeutics and Preventive Medicine in Mesa, Arizona.  He was certified February 9, 1980, by the American Naturopathic Medical Certification & Accreditation Board, Inc., in Tigard, Oregon. Dr. West is a member of The International Society of Lymphology and the founder  and president of International Academy of Lymphology.

Our next article continues with the functioning of the lymphatic system and concentrates on the Health & Wellbeing benefits of Rebounding-Breathwork.

Until then, please keep on breathing and lymphasizing!

CELLNESS©

is the key to enter the forgotten land we know as the ‘Body”

Do you have the optimum health and peace you desire? *

The body has 100 trillion cells. Each cell is self sufficient with own memory and immune system. They have their own intelligence; they have every function we have inside our bodies. If we take one cell outside of the body, it continues to live.

Every cell is doing 100.000 activity per second and every cell tracks and synchronizes with every other cell instantly. And yet, they are programmable and instantaneous. “Cells are like miniature people” says Dr. Bruce Lipton.

We inherit the ability to govern, program, re-program and determine the quality and faith of our cells…thus the quality and faith of our lives continuously in every moment.

There is an ongoing communication and correlation among each cell of the body; they listen, respond and react to any experience, be it physical, mental or emotional.

For instance as scientists state, emotional experiences generate molecules which are neuropeptides. This means when we have different emotions, we generate a different body chemistry in which our cells are bathed and this process, in a continuous instantaneity, affects the whole functioning of our body systems.

Neurobiologists reveal there is no mental event that does not have neural correlate. And there is no neural correlate that does not have a biological correlate. Why? Because they say, the brain functions as an integrated whole. And the mind is orchestrating the whole symphony. Everything happening in our body is integrated; thoughts, emotions, feelings, social interactions, our environment, so called the extended body, the ecosystem….all are one process.

But then what is the mind, where is the mind, if the cells can function as a brain and have their own intelligence, memory, immune system etc.? Now, hear this carefully please, you might want to read a couple of times:

Mind and matter are inseparable. The mind is an embodied and relational process that regulates the flow of energy & information. The mind is not in your brain…it is in everywhere, in all cells of the body.

This understanding of mind-body, mind-environment unity on the cellular level as a relational process naturally coincides with the understanding that acknowledges the body as a non-solid structure; the body is dynamic and in constant movement. It is in exchange with all the elements and forces of the universe. This happens through breathing, eating, digestion, elimination, our perception and experience of the outer body through our senses as well as our thoughts, feelings, desires, our imagination, insight, intuition, creativity…all take their part in this relational process and yet function as an integrated whole in a constant state of change.

The scientists state that in less than 1 year we recycle %98 of all the matter in our body; every six weeks we have a new atomic molecular level, new shin once a month, new skeleton every three months…and by the end of one year we have an entire new body.

What is the relevance of all these information? It is simply this…if we have perfectly healthy cells, then we have a perfectly healthy and peaceful body and a beautiful environment.

The relevance is this much simple and yet vital.

On June 24, 1980 Dr. C. Samuel West, Chemist and Lymphologist, presented the basic formula for a healthy cell:

No trapped blood proteins ➠ no excess sodium ➠

no loss of energy ➠ no disease

This was the basic formula in Dr. West’s “Blood Protein Research and the Art of Lymphasizing” where he presented, for the first time, the laws of health, body and nature which could not be considered separately.  According to this research, the cells, theoretically could live forever, but every law man breaks, mentally, nutritionally or physically, would trap the blood proteins and produce the internal conditions that cause loss of energy, disease and death.

The study reveals that, the human body is an electrical being, that every cell is an actual chemical electrical generator, and it shows how trapped blood proteins produce the conditions that will upset the chemical balance, shut the generators off and damage or kill the cells. Dr. West further states “this knowledge has given birth to a new science called the Art of Lymphasizing and with the understanding of this new science anyone will be able to know what they can do to prevent and if possible reverse the conditions that cause pain, loss of energy and disease.”

Here we come back to our bodies, where we discover the field for performing this art; our Tree of Life, the Lymphatic System. Because, according to Dr. West, the healthy circulation of our lymphatics is the only way the trapped blood proteins around the cells can be removed and the chemical balance is returned back to its normal state.

Well, here is where I intend to stop and leave writing about our lymphatics and its functioning for a whole new article. However it is also my great pleasure to introduce you the most effective movements, which support and activate both our lymphatic and immune systems and thus make our cells stronger and healthier; deep-conscious breathing and rebounding.

Don’t forget, a high quality rebounder is a natural lymphasizer and the rebound movement when its performed in sync with conscious breathwork and simplicity will provide you the utmost health benefits first on a cellular basis and then on all body systems functioning interrelated. Rebounding is a conscious cellular movement.

Today scientists from various fields; re-define health in the light of the new information that is being brought about and experienced. They have, indeed, wonderful news about the functioning of our bodies and its capabilities. This information is not anymore limited to specific people. It is understandable and easy to reach.

The understanding which evaluated ‘health’ as something to be purchased from outside of the Body has failed and unfortunately, on the very contrary, has created more dependence and disease. The so-called health providing institutions have proven to be insufficient and are far behind the recent developments and discoveries on the human body and its capabilities.

In that sense we cannot treat our Bodies, the way we used to treat them. We have to learn how our bodies function. Maintaining and sustaining a healthy condition, not for a couple of hours in each day or week but constantly in every moment enliven the energy body which is of vital importance to generate the fuel for life. Embodying the fundamental principles of healthy living not as an optional sports, recreational or social activity but as an essential necessity of our lives will lead us to a new understanding of our Body and its capabilities.

Any wellbeing or fitness activity, which does not provide guidance towards the integration of mental, physical and psychological functioning, that’s to say, towards an integrated “being”, is already an obsolete effort and fails to serve for the sustainability of good health, success and wealthier living conditions.

Till next time, keep on Breathing & Rebounding!

Rebounding-Breathwork© Method

CONSCIOUS MOVEMENT FOR HEALTH;

REBOUNDING-BREATHWORK© Method by prof. Cristiano Ckris* Verducci

What is a Rebounder?

It looks like a mini-trampoline or a bouncer, but it is not. It’s called a “Rebounder”.

Rebound® AIR™ is a new professional instrument with specific technical characteristics, designed and used for health improvement, healing, therapeutic and psycho-physical preparation training and for Rebounding – Breathwork education which also constitutes the basic exercising model (conscious movements) sustaining and complementing all types of body workout and physical training.

Exercising on a Rebounder (Rebound Exercise as the generic name, however the most accurate expression would be ‘conscious movement’ referring to a specific body&mind, motional and emotional state of consciousness) is recognized as one of the most beneficial form of exercising and “training for health” discovered and practiced by man.

The Rebound® Exercise is researched and studied by NASA, Air Force, Universities and Institutes of Preventive Medicine. ReboundAIR™ is the Original instrument deviced by Albert Carter and AIR inc. USA, the leading Rebound Exercise industry for healthy living since 1977.

Intelligence behind the Movement: “Miracle Health Worker”

Albert E. Carter, innovator of high quality workout (health) rebounders and the pioneer of rebound exercise, has first introduced rebounding, as the most efficient and effective form of exercise yet devised by man. Today, the performers of this life enhancing activity, regard rebounding and a quality rebounder not only as an exercise model and instrument but the most enjoyable necessity of their lives as a Miracle Health Worker.

This education-based, highly innovative exercise model is rapidly developing the concept of conscious movement in health and wellbeing fields for being one of the most effective cell exercise supporting the lymphatic system and protecting joints from shock without fatigue. Since the 70s, Carter has been one of the leading researchers, studying and spreading the health benefits and advantages of Rebound Exercise for the whole body wellness and has developed for the first time the concept of “HEALTHY CELL; the body awareness from the cell’s point of view”, within the scope of his Research Institute (American Institute of Reboundology™)

Rebounding-Breathwork© Method combines the benefits and fundamentals of rebound exercise while focusing on the conscious breathing and the body energy (the Chi or Prana). This joyous method supports core development in strength and awareness. In Rebounding-Breathwork© we learn to honor the Body/Being and treat it with respect. We sharpen the skills that are necessary to understand the signals it gives us and in return we are rewarded with health, strength and well-being.

Rebounding-Breathwork© exercises concentrate on the incorporation of Body and the Mind; while we release stress, deeper tension from inside-out and develop core muscles, strength, balance and comprehensive body tone, we also connect with the inner body through practicing conscious breathing and develop total awareness and sense of the physical body.

Educational Approach for sustainable health and well-being

Education is derived from the Latin word educere:

–        ex (out) + ducere (to draw, bring, lead) –  meaning bringing out, drawing out, leading. An educational wellbeing activity therefore, focuses on the manifestation of the real healthy being existent in every individual rather than imposing or instructing any external knowledge.

In the same manner, well-being in its deeper sense addresses a conscious state of the “being” primarily focusing on an inside-out process, during which each individual is encouraged to enable their body for complete relaxation for being the “well”, and let energy flow uninterrupted without blocks, congestions or tensions.

 

 “WellBeing is not just a pleasant sensation, but a deep state of serenity and completeness that constantly pervades and underlies all emotional states and external events we daily live.

WellBeing is an art to learn that anyone can create.”

Prof. Cristiano Ckris* Verducci

  

Lets take the first step together.

Take a deep breath…be aware and feel your breath in your presence…

Keeping your attention on your breath will always keep you in the present moment

Follow your breath inside your body…

Let go of your thoughts…leave the inner dialogue that keeps you detached from your true nature. Thoughts are like fat and will weigh you down…as a result your body becomes rigid, loosing its natural flexibility. Free your mind from those repeating thoughts and regain your lightness…your mobility; like a hot-air balloon rising into the sky once the sandbags keeping it on the ground are thrown off.

Enter your Body…move under your skin…follow your breath…push it down to your abdomen…to your pelvis and through your legs, and then up to your lungs, throat and head. Practice this circular movement as if you are rolling a ball inside your body and soon it turns out to be a roller coaster on its own motion, once you learn how to jump on it, your breathing circle will enhance and become more complete, more spontaneous.

Observe your attention travelling together with your breath inside your body.

Breath is a miraculous, yet very natural and invisible movement…It will retract you inside…and guide you to the disconnected territories of your body.

Each breath circle is an internal massage to your organs, resolving energy blocks, easing tensions and releasing the body from unnecessary weight that keeps you down in a lower vibrational state.

This will provide a natural relaxation, cleanse your thoughts, and lighten your body.

The very basic approach is to be simple, and gentle with your body. without stressing your mind and your muscles, without exaggeration and complication of excess set of exercises…Move softly and easily.

Always remember that there is nothing to add…no instruction to follow during the Rebounding-Breathwork. Remember that it is an inside-out process in which we aim to get rid of the pointless weight and relieve the ‘being’ by enabling the constant flow of energy and healthy communication starting within.

Governing one’s own life starts first with governing the Body. We have to construct the structure inside our bodies perfectly the same way we intend to construct our lives in the outside world. Thus, we start from within, from the tiniest cell, which contains a limitless ability to inspire a whole Body, its environment and the people and events taking place in this environment. This is what we call CELLNESS…the key understanding behind enlivening and mastering one’s own Energy Body.

Any idea or activity aiming to heal the troubled vision of mankind has to search for the higher intelligence governing each cell of the Body.

This is the essence – our fundamental motivation – in Rebounding-Breathwork Education; an inside out approach where the participants are encouraged to first concentrate on their own Body and listen to the already existing flow of communication shaping up this energy field composed of millions of cells. The underlying view of this approach is to recognize each cell as the health/life/energy generating source of the Body.
