Kal’s School Newsletter:
A little update:
Kal and Traci are now contributing authors for the Healthier You Newsletter, which you can subscribe to at
www.herballegacy.com.
Kal is lecturing on what is possible with herbs at Life Grocery in Marietta, GA on the first Saturday in November. That discussion will be recorded and placed as a promotional download on the home page of KalsSchool.com, so you can go there and listen to it anytime.
Now, the best purpose of a newsletter from a site like KalsSchool.com: This is the first in a series of educational articles that will amplify your ability to do natural healing at home for yourself and your loved ones.
Dissolve Abnormal Growths and So Much More
One of the areas that we have strained at in natural healing is how to dissolve scar tissue, cystic acne scar tissue, cysts, tumors, cancers and so forth.
The answer to this is quite old and yet supported by something that is a fairly new understanding called “Applied Lymphology.”
In order to dissolve any such tissue, it is necessary to keep the cells there free of sitting toxins. One of the reasons that your body does not just decide to dissolve abnormal growths on its own is that there is not great circulation due to the growth! The growth itself obstructs circulation.
Interestingly, cancer is actually much easier to dissolve because it has lots of circulation.
In either case, though, and also in the case of scar tissue, the primary need is to draw off the pooling water and stagnant debris in the area. This stagnant “water” creates conditions where there is no electrical activity in the surrounding cells. Generally, such a condition is just walled off in the body. When the conditions are created such that the stagnant water is removed and electrical activity again gets to the level of healthy cells, the surrounding normal cells will begin to re-take the area, according to genetic design.
As for scar tissue…I used to believe that scar tissue had to be manually broken or dissolved by a solvent in order to remove it. It turns out, though, that the manual breaking process did more for increasing circulation and return of the lymphatic vessels in the area than anything else. The return of lymphatic vessels pulls off stagnant water, sodium, lost blood proteins and pathogenic microorganisms and allows healthy activity to resume.
When the fluid is drawn off effectively, the electrical pumps in the cells begin to operate again and that will start in motion a process of complete regeneration.
This helps explain why some herbs seem to cause spontaneous regeneration—they either remove wastes or stimulate electricity in a certain type of tissue, or both.
This also explains why technology like magnets, the circa 1950’s Zapper, the Acuscope and Myopulse and other electrical field-dependent technology has done so much for health.
Of course, as a natural healer, died in the wool, I want natural options and I also want to remain independent of technology when it comes to my health. I believe that the organic energy and life force of nature is holistically harmonizing to us. Anything else might help us in a pinch, but is ultimately unnatural and that that sours the impact on our bodies.
Our featured natural remedy today is Castor Oil. The highly toxic castor bean may kill you if you eat it, but the oil only retains trace amounts of those toxins. Even so, in my personal practice I do not recommend the use of Castor Oil internally, as I believe it to be too strong for most internal needs.
Externally, though, Castor Oil does some exciting things.
Castor Oil will penetrate slowly, but surely, deep into the tissues below its application point. Castor Oil also does indeed contain solvents that distinguish between healthy cells and abnormal formations.
In healthy cells, Castor Oil will work to clean out the cell and, most importantly, to stimulate the active pumping of the lymphatic system and therefore the electrical generation of the cell which gets good stuff in and toxic stuff out.
In abnormal cells/growths, castor oil will actually act more like a solvent, dissolving them aggressively. The solvent property is the primary reason that we recommend the use of Castor Oil every day if you are trying to dissolve something because the solvent builds in the tissues, working faster and faster as it does. If days are skipped, the reservoir of these solvents begins to run dry. We call this a cumulative effect. That cumulative effect also applies to the removal of toxic fluid and so healthy cells will begin to build a new pattern of maintaining healthier conditions.
I had a client about a year ago who came to me with great pain in the abdomen on account of scar tissue due to multiple surgeries. I recommended Castor Oil massage daily.
In her case, she used a far-infrared tent which sped the movement of the Castor Oil into the skin and so she only used it for about fifteen minutes per day. In one week she was pain free. Eventually, she stopped using it (prior to the time frame I had recommended) and was in pain again in about two more weeks. This time, though, when she started using the Castor Oil, she was pain free the same day.
Until recently, this has very much puzzled me. When I gained the understanding about accumulating fluids and the impact Castor Oil has on that, I realized why it helped so much. This also explains why it seems to help with a wide array of discomforts. You can literally rub it, every day, for ten minutes into an area and get progressive, long-term relief of most conditions!
Generally, I recommend the use of Castor Oil before bed. You just rub it in for several minutes (depending on the size of the area) and then put a little more on a cloth with a plastic bag sewed to the back. This is placed over the area and taped or tied in place or held with tight clothing during sleep. If you get up in the night, you can remove it then.
Since we now understand that the electricity production of the cells is the primary trigger for regeneration and healing and that that process is only possible when oxygen comes in and excess fluids go out of the spaces between the cells, it seems like a good thing to mention several things that cause the fluid to be lost from the blood and to accumulate in the spaces between the cells.
It is useful to know that the fluid between the cells is raising and lowering all the time, even in the healthiest person. This fluid is carried away by the lymphatic tubes that are literally everywhere (you have three times as much lymphatic tubing as blood tubing). Only the unhealthy conditions mentioned below will cause an excess of these fluids to appear and stop the body from spontaneously (and very quickly) regenerating.
- Excess protein in the diet, especially from animal sources or from dry, hard beans and seeds. Blood proteins manufactured from this protein does not, for reasons as yet unknown, have the affinity for the blood that the same blood proteins have when made from living plant foods. The loss of the blood proteins from the blood and the settling of them in the spaces between the cells will cause the accumulation of fluids and sodium between the cells, shutting down the cell pumps and clogging lymphatic ductwork. In other words, eat mostly live plant food that has not undergone processing.
- Negative thinking, including anger, fear, sadness, irritation, cruelty or speaking unkindly, will cause a sudden, acute loss of blood plasma proteins and every part of the body, almost immediately, enters a diseased state.
- Weakening foods that result in inactive lymphatic vessels. This might include any food you are reactive to but especially includes refined foods, breads and sugars and dairy (a double whammy, since it contains animal protein too). It is unknown the impact of chemicals on this process, but generally such chemicals cause dis-cohesion in the blood resulting in all sorts of malfunctions and lost constituents.
- Lack of movement will also create blood protein loss and fluid stagnancy. It is valuable here to note that when an area has lost blood proteins a lot, that area is prone to weakness in the future because normal sitting and breathing or minimal activity will not remove these sticky proteins. Therefore, to affect healing, these proteins have to be vigorously pumped away every day. To maintain health, they have to be vigorously pumped away three times per week at least. This means activity which results in bouncing and deep breathing. This is most powerful for healing when happy meditation on the area needing healing is held during the process. You can also put herbs that heal over the area during the process. This will result in rapid healing. Just any movement will not do. Full range of motion, deep breathing and bouncing are the tickets. Some poses cause a flow of lymph too, which might help explain the value of yoga and Tai Chi on healing. In any case, we must move and breathe every day, many times per day, just to maintain basic health.
I hope you have gained some valuable healing data from this newsletter. I appreciate any and all feedback, so please let me know how helpful this was and why.
Thanks,
