 However, many current ideas can be traced back to Sebastian Kneipp (1821-97), a Dominican monk from Bavaria who is the recognised founder of modern hydrotherapy.
Author of books on the healing benefits of water, Kneipp cured himself of a lung disorder by a routine of plunging himself into ice-cold water then warming himself with vigorous exercise. He recommended walking barefoot in wet grass and cold streams, which would stimulate a resurgence of blood to the limbs, creating warmth naturally and activating the body's own healing powers. Many of his treatments were adopted by naturopaths. |

Getting at Least 35 Grams of Fiber a Day
A good fiber supplement is an important addition to any cleansing program. Fiber has been shown to aid elimination through the bowel and absorb toxins in the intestines, preventing their reabsorption. You will shoot for at least 35 grams of fiber per day through foods, but you can take a fiber supplement at bedtime that will help you reach that mark.
There are two basic types of fiber—soluble and insoluble—and both are valuable in detoxing. |
| Getting at those toxins is best accomplished through appropriate use of herbal cleanses, saunas, soaks, skin brushing, and colon hydrotherapy (the therapeutic infusion of water into the colon for the purpose of reducing its waste content). All of these forms of cleansing have been practiced historically throughout virtually every culture in one form or another.
There is no debate that we are equipped with magnificently designed bodies that can detect and process potentially hazardous materials and substances. |

 Colonic irrigation (colon hydrotherapy) is the fastest and easiest method to prepare the colon for the liver cleanse. Colema-board irrigation is the second most preferable method (see details in Keep Your Colon Clean in Chapter 5).
What you need to do on the sixth day of drinking apple juice: Drink all the 32 ounces of apple juice in the morning. You may start drinking the juice soon after awakening. If you feel hungry in the morning, eat a light breakfast, such as a hot cereal; oatmeal would be an ideal choice. |
| Colonic irrigation, also known as colon hydrotherapy, is perhaps one of the more effective colon therapies. A 30- to 50-minute session can eliminate large amounts of trapped waste that may have taken you many years to accumulate. During a colonic session, the therapist uses a total of 3 to 6 quarts of distilled or purified water to gently cleanse your colon. Through gentle abdominal massage, old deposits of mucoid fecal matter are loosened, detached from the colon wall, and subsequently removed with the water.
Colonics tend to have a "relieving" effect. |

 This means the use of colonics, also called colonic irrigations, hydrotherapy, and high enemas. Ordinary enemas only reach the last eight to twelve inches of the bowel; whereas colonics reach the entire five to six feet of the colon.
Colonics are essentially large-volume enemas, using many gallons (or liters) of water at each session to gently and thoroughly cleanse the entire large intestine. Water is injected through a tube that has been inserted into the rectum, several ounces (100 ml or so) at a time, and then allowed to be expelled, carrying wastes from the colon with it. |
| Colon hydrotherapy, even when done frequently, does not wash out friendly bowel flora. Healthy bacteria are constantly being introduced into the colon from the small intestine. Colon walls, just like the lining in our mouths, are composed of soft tissue and are not harmed by the introduction of water any more than our mouths are. |
| Periodic colon hydrotherapy is very effective.
Consume mostly alkaline foods and drinks that contribute to making your body less acidic.
Use fresh juices and alkalizing supplements.
Grow and eat your own sprouts (mostly alfalfa).
Complete enough liver/gallbladder cleanses to remove all stones from your liver. þ Install and use a shower filter to remove chlorine. Finish off showers with a couple of minutes of cooler water.
Make minimal use of soaps and use only pH-balanced products.

Reiki
Reiki is a healing system that originated in Japan, where it has been practised for centuries. It reached the West through the teaching of Dr Mikao Usui in the first half of this century. The Usui system of reiki is an ancient holistic method of treating the mind, body and soul. |

 For a severe burn, a physician may prescribe silver sulfadiazine (Silvadene) cream and/or antibiotics to prevent infection, debridement to remove dead tissue, and/or hydrotherapy to loosen dead skin. Depending on the location and extent of the burn, physical therapy may be prescribed to keep muscles flexible. Muscle contractures can result from overlying skin damage and contraction.
Q Your doctor may recommend taking an antiinflammatory agent such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, Da-tril, and others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Nuprin, and others) to help relieve pain and inflammation. |

 Well, a lot of home remedies using essential oils take the form of aromatherapy or hydrotherapy. As its name implies, aromatherapy taps into your sense of smell to soothe and promote healing. Since the essential oils of herbs are highly aromatic, you have a match made in olfactory heaven, whether the oil is diluted for massage or diffused for breathing.
One way of breathing in the herb is through steam inhalation, which melds aromatherapy and hydrotherapy. hydrotherapy is a venerable natural healing technique that exploits the healing powers of water. |

| A word of caution: If you have any health-related problems or conditions, be sure to consult with your health care provider before beginning any hydrotherapy treatment. All of the treatments presented in this section are recommended for those who are in generally good health.
HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY
All human tissues and organs need oxygen in order to function. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the administration of oxygen at high atmospheric pressure. This saturates the body with oxygen, increasing the total available amount. |
| Many hydrotherapy techniques for a range of conditions can be effectively performed at home. For instance, muscular pain and swelling caused by a sprain or strain respond favorably to an immediate application of cold. An ice pack, applied continually (up to twenty minutes on, followed by twenty minutes off) during the initial twenty-four hours following a trauma, can reduce swelling and provide relief.
Sitz baths, in which the pelvis is immersed in water, increase blood flow in the pelvic region and help to relieve problems in that area. |
| Although many hydrotherapy methods can be performed at home, certain treatments such as hyperthermia, neutral baths, and whirlpool baths, are available only in clinics or hospitals. These treatments must be performed under the careful supervision of a licensed therapist or other health care provider:
• Hyperthermia. Fever stimulates the body's immune system to produce the antibodies necessary for fighting certain illnesses. Hyperthermia is a hot-immersion bath used to induce fever in those who cannot achieve one naturally. |

 The therapies used by naturopathic doctors include clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, traditional Asian medicine, homeopathic medicine, acupuncture, physical medicine, hydrotherapy, and lifestyle counseling. In its own way, each therapy supports the self-healing efforts of the body. The naturopathic physician selects appropriate modalities to use on a given individual patient based on traditional knowledge, modern research, and clinical experience. This practice of medicine is at once founded on the healing wisdom of many centuries and a distillation of current scientific research. |
| These premises inform the founding of the naturopathic medical profession at the turn of the 20th century by a group of European and American physicians dedicated to the practice of botanical medicine, homeopathy, spinal manipulation, hydrotherapy, and nutritional therapy. Their vision was to educate a profession of medical practitioners who could synthesize the techniques, observations, and practices of many healing modalities. A name was needed for this profession: naturopathy, a neologism from the Latin for nature and the Greek for suffering, was chosen. |

 If colon hydrotherapy is not available, daily warm-water enemas while fasting on grapefruit juice will be helpful.
A raw herbal cleanse, such as the EJUVA 30-day program, can work wonders for those with eczema as I have seen first hand several times.
Eyesight
From years of observation and study, I am convinced that the primary cause of poor eyesight is the habit of reading in the dark or with dim lighting. To maintain excellent eyesight for a lifetime, please be sure to read under bright full-spectrum lighting or outdoors whenever possible. |
| Aside from colon hydrotherapy, you may also speed up the detoxification process by doing enemas coupled with fasting on lemon and fresh spring water or green-leafy vegetable juice.
You alkalinize your body by taking in green-leafy vegetable juices, which increase the blood's electricity. Electricity increases the solubility of the blood. The more solubility in the blood, the more undigested and misappropriated minerals it can suspend, remove and metabolize or chelate. |

 Who would normally believe that fasting, hydrotherapy, and prayer could have such a positive impact on the human body in such a short space of time? Our God is truly a powerful and merciful Father. I trust Him that I am going to get stronger each day.
I am fasting today as the doctor has instructed (for thirty-six hours once a week) and will also continue with Perfect Health, with no animal products as per your advice of which he fully agrees with. I will also continue with the barley grass juice, flaxseed oil, and beet juice. |
| I was booked in for a supervised fast with hydrotherapy to assist with the elimination of toxins. This was not easy as I was extremely weak. At times they were not able to read my blood sugar or my blood pressure. The doctor said that a two-week fast was ideal but he had no expectations of me lasting that long; he would be satisfied if I could manage up to three days, taking one day at a time. Well, I managed four and a half days. There were times when I really thought I could not do it anymore. |
