Electro Lymphatic Therapy
In
Europe, the preventative health community has studied
lymphatics for more than a century. Health professionals
understand the function of the lymphatic system. Research
into the cause of many chronic illnesses has proven
that lymphatic obstructions that result in a sluggish
condition in the lymphatic system, also called lymphatic
congestion, impede the body's ability to heal itself
due to
the build up of toxins and waste.
The lymphatic system is a vast sewage network that carries cellular debris from
the body, and is a key to healthy immune functions. Made up of nodes, tonsils,
spleen, thymus gland, lymphocytes, lymph fluid and capillaries, it's like a team
of garbage collectors, filtering out, gathering up and taking out all the unnecessary
trash we accumulate in everyday life. According to G. Simon de Montfort, inventor
of Electro Lymphatic Therapy (ELT), if trash, or toxins, accumulate, the lymphatic
system becomes stagnant, creating the perfect environment for disease to set
in. De Montfort says that a clogged lymphatic network means a congested blood
system as well: the waste of the blood cells has nowhere to go, and cells cannot
do their job properly when there's garbage in the way.
ELT is said to be effective for a wide variety of conditions, ranging from cellulite
and sinus problems to TMJ, asthma and muscle pains, as well as many ailments
that don't respond well to conventional treatments, such as fibromyalgia, cysts,
fibroids and colitis. Both the lymph and circulatory systems cover the entire
body and can greatly affect many of its functions when there are obstruction
in the flow of these important body fluids. It is important to keep these fluids
moving properly to ensure that oxygen and other nutrients reach the tissues through
the circulatory system and for the wastes to be carried away from the tissues
via the lymphatic system.
While the circulatory system has the heart to move the blood, the lymph moves
by muscle contraction and the effect of breathing on the thoracic duct.
Factors contributing to lymph congestion include injuries, immobility, poor diet,
dehydration, pathogens, inactivity, surgery, stress, hormone imbalances, environmental
toxins and the normal aging process.
The purpose of this Electro-Lymphatic Therapy (ELT) device is to increase the
flow of fluids in the body, namely the blood and lymph. It does this primarily
by improving the pressure differential between the blood and lymph, which allows
oxygen, nutrients, hormones and other necessary substances to flow from the blood
into the cell bed. Movement of body fluids is essential for health at a cellular
level.
How does it work? Based on the principles of Quantum Physics, the ELT device
essentially works by producing an energy field that is applied to the surface
of the skin. The energy moves through the tissue and knocks electrons off the
cells in the body fluids creating a negative charge which moves these cells into
the fluids flowing through blood and lymph channels. It breaks up waste stored
in the tissues, improving the immune system.
This energy field induces a flow of fluids thus relaxing muscles and relieving
tension. An expansion is created in order to allow fluids to flow freely. Creating
this expansion also opens the way for the body to provide nutrients to areas
previously deprived and this encourages the healing process.
Most circulatory problems that people have lie in the capillaries. This is where
cells are fed the necessary oxygen, nutrients and hormones the body needs to
work efficiently.
Along the capillary pathway these nutrients penetrate into the tissue bed. Similarly,
waste products in the cell bed move into the lymph pathway.
During a session, you'll first be interviewed for any health complaints, then
you'll lie down on a massage table, and a practitioner will apply the head of
the ELT machine to your skin to stimulate the lymphatic system. You can also
receive ELT during a colonic session for even better results!
