Benefits of Reflexology
• Stress relief
Whether you suffer from insomnia, migraines, digestive problems or fatigue, the root of many health problems can be linked to stress. Stress can be caused by our own hectic lifestyle, emotional, physical or environmental factors, it is almost completely unavoidable. Stress can be damaging to the body and mind. Under the influence of prolonged stress the body is less capable of fighting illness. Reflexology counteracts the effects of stress by promoting relaxation and bringing balance to the body.

Muscle relaxation
Many factors can cause muscle tension, too much time sitting in one position, lifting heavy objects, working out with weights or emotional problems are just a few. Whatever the source, when muscles become tense and over stressed the energy in our body is thrown out of balance. The nerve pathways which connect muscles to the rest of the body become congested. This can result in pain, fatigue, irritability or even more stress. Reflexology stimulates nerve endings in the feet to release the energy, relax muscles and restore physical harmony.

Circulation improvement
All the body’s systems need good blood circulation in order to function well. The blood carries nutrients and oxygen to the cells and removes waste products and toxins. Stress and tension tighten up the cardiovascular system and restricts blood flow, causing it to become sluggish. This results in the tissues becoming oxygen-deprived; the energy in the body becomes depleted, making all body systems suffer. Reflexology keeps the body’s circulation flowing smoothly, which rejuvenates tired tissues.

Detoxify and cleanse
Riding the body of waste and toxins is extremely important to your health. When the lymphatic, urinary or intestinal systems become blocked due to a build up of toxins and waste the energy in the body stagnates. This may cause you to feel bloated, lethargic or even sick. Reflexology can release these blockages, helping your body to “let go” and eliminate toxins and waste, cleansing the body of all impurities. This will encourage the body to naturally restore its own healthy balance.

Body balancer
Balance is vital for a healthy body, mind and spirit. To maintain a state of homeostasis the body needs to run smoothly. When there is a malfunction in the body it is thrown off balance. Reflexology is vital to sustain balance in every gland, organ, muscle, tissue and cell in the body, leaving all the systems of the body functioning fully, and in their natural equilibrium.

This sounds a lot like ‘constipation’. Fortunately, even as I type, Scott is trialling a wheatgrass enema which may help his body to ‘let go’ of migrainous toxins. In fact, I can really feel the vibrations of his body naturally restoring it’s healing balance. Scott, close the bathroom door will ya?

Can you please explain what these “toxins” are exactly? I would like names please and the biochemistry behind both their being sequestered in the fat and muscle stores and the biochemistry behind elimination. You sound like you really know your science (and restaurants!) and are obviously well-educated and totally smart. Looking forward to being enlightened.

You know I’ve heard about toxins for such a long time yet no one seems to know what the hell they are! Funny really. Is this the cause of migraine? Do I have too much DDT in my brain (I do use mosquito repellant occasionally)?

Look forward to your comprehensive reply.

South Park on Alternative Medicine

Kyle Broslavski is sick in bed. His mom explains to a neighbor, Sharon, that he is a diabetic and has always had kidney problems but lately they just seem to be shutting down.

Sheila: I don’t know what to do Sharon. They want to have him go into surgery! It’s so dangerous.
Sharon: Sheila, have you tried holistic natural medicines? They work wonders! I read all about it in People.
Sheila: Really? In People?
Sharon: There’s a brand new shop in town that sells holistic medicines and all natural foods. It’s run by this fascinating woman named Miss Information.
Sheila: Oh, well, with a name like Miss Information she must know something!

So they take Kyle to the holistic medicine store.

Miss Information: You see, the reason our bodies fail is because of toxins. All the horrible food we eat, the sodas and meat, are filled with toxins; and the only way for us to get better is to flush those toxins out of our system. Western Medicine is so quick to cut and carve up, when all your son needs is a constant flushing diet of lemon juice and cayenne pepper.
Sheila: Did you hear that Kyle? You don’t need surgery after all! Kyle: (mumbles incoherently)
Stan (Kyle’s friend, Sharon’s son): Excuse me, but what do these toxins look like? Have you ever actually seen a toxin?
Sharon: Don’t be a smart ass, Stanley!
Miss Information: Ms. Broslavski, I’d like to give your son herbs which focus on the kidneys. I have these excellent herbs from local Native Americans.
Sharon: Ooh! Native Americans. Now they know how to heal the body spiritually!

Next day we see Ms Information make a home visit. Kyle is in bed, stuporous, and a couple of neighbor moms are commenting how terrible he looks.

Miss Information(making a grand entrance): Good Morning everyone!
Sheila: Oh, thanks for coming Miss Information. Kyle seems to be getting worse!

Miss Information walks over to the bed, closes her eyes, and waves her hands over Kyle while humming. She does a two second assessment.

Miss Information: Oh, I don’t agree! He seems MUCH better. Sheila: Really?
Miss Information: Yes. His chi is flowing much nicer than yesterday, and his aura is lighter!
Sharon: Oh that’s great news!

Kyle suddenly vomits a bucketfull on the floor.

Sheila: Oh no!
Miss Information: No, no, that’s GOOD! Those are the toxins flushing out of his system.
Stan: Those aren’t toxins, that’s the bean with bacon soup he ate a half hour ago!
Sharon: Stanley, what did I say about being a smart ass?
Miss Information: Now don’t be fooled as Kyle’s body sheds itself of more and more of the toxins. He may appear to be getting worse, but actually he’s getting better.
Sheila: Oh! Well, I am SOLD on natural medicines. If only I had known sooner.

There’s a great scene in the holistic medicine store where people are now lined up around the block to get in, and the place is crowed with shoppers all excited about finding products like “free range aspirin” and “all natural cell phones.” The Native Americans then make their appearance, played by Cheech and Chong. They are obviously latinos, but the crowd believes Miss Information, and C+C play along with the charade. They are immediately mobbed by the crowd, demanding to know if they have any new holistic items for sale. Cheech reaches into a box and pulls out a clothes hanger held together with duct tape.

Cheech: Oh, yeah, ahh … here! This is a, ahh … a dream catcher!
Patron: Oh! A dream catcher! I’ll buy one of those!
Crowd: Yeah! Me too.
Chong: And these here are Cherokee hair tampons. They’re like all natural tampons made from the hair of Cherokee people.
Sharon: Ooo! A tampon made from Cherokee hair. Now that sounds all natural!
Miss Information: native Americans are more in tune with the earth than we are.

Miss Information then suggests that the Native Americans do a healing on Kyle the next day, which they readily agree to do (“Yeah, we’ll give him a brain enema or something, man!”) Miss Information then leads Sheila over to the cash register to take a deposit for the treatment. Meanwhile, Stan walks in after talking to the town MD. He says the doc told him that the holistic medicines won’t work, and that Kyle needs a kidney transplant as soon as possible.

Ms Information: Well, of course the doctor told you that, because HE wants to make MONEY. Holistic medicine is about NATURE! (turning to Sheila) That’ll be $233.
Sheila: Everything will be fine, Stan. We’re bringing Kyle in to see the Native Americans personally.
Stan: Isn’t is possible that these Indians don’t know what they’re talking about?
Sharon: You watch your mouth Stanley! The Native Americans were raped of their land and resources by white people like us!
Stan: And that has something to do with their medicine because…?
Sharon: ENOUGH Stanley!

Scott, I think you have toxins because your chee is blocked. This can be identified (correct me if I am wrong Dr. Diner) by a dark discoloured aura.

I had a chap come to the door the other day trying to sell me some chee, but I didnt want to change my energy supplier :lol:

So selfish Christine. If you harness your Chee and pump it back into the grid we can reduce our reliance on dark discoloured fossil fuels.
