Lymphatic System

Uncle Chuckie, the doctor said he found lump in my lymph node. Pray for me, because of everything I’ve been through.

The lymphatic system is part of your defense system, that is made up of a intricate network of vessels, valves and nodes that carry lymph fluid and help remove toxins from the body. Lymph fluid circulates through the lymphatic system, bathe the tissues and also feeds the cells, carrying nutrients through the bloodstream. Lymph nodes purify the lymph fluid and also serves as filters for toxins throughout the body trapping poisons, attacking bad bacteria, preventing them from entering the bloodstream. An over-accumulation of toxins in the lymph nodes can result in swollen glands and/or lymphatic cancer. Lymph nodes are different sizes. Some as small as pinheads, and others as large as lima beans. Lymph fluid flows into the lymph nodes through vessels.
When the lymph nodes are clogged they cannot release toxins from the body.
We need to clean the lymphatic system and the blood periodically. The blood can be cleaned by itself, however, you should not clean the lymphatic system without cleaning the blood with it. While cleaning the lymphatic system, you are releasing the nodes of toxins, and the toxins(viruses, bad bacteria, etc.) goes into the bloodstream, so you must clean the blood also. Herbs good for lymphatic cleansing are; Octillo, Yellowdock root, Lobelia, Black Walnut, Dandelion root, Wild Indigo root and Oregon Grape to name a few.
The first thing is a change of diet. Work on going vegan. Avoid meats, mainly red meats, dairy, processed foods, refined foods such as white sugar, white flour, white rice, salt. No carbonated beverages. No alcoholic beverages and tap water should be avoided too. The best water to drink during detoxifying is alkaline followed by distilled. The best things to eat are raw, organic foods such as fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts. Foods that help cleanse the lymphatic system are: dark green vegetables, onions, garlic, ginger, seaweeds (kelp & kombu), wheatgrass juice, raw cranberry juice, flax seeds and omega 3 foods.
When it comes to personal hygiene, go earth friendly. No antiperspirants, commercial brand soaps, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, deodorants, cologne and perfumes. I love black soaps(DuDu Osun & Nubian Heritage are my favorites) If you try DuDu Osun, use a dark towel, because it will turn your towel brown. The deodorants I like are Lāfes Natural and Organic(my favorite) and Nature’s Gate Organics. Use oils like sweet almond, grapeseed, apricot, sunflower, extra virgin olive oil, jojoba and vitamin E. You can also use these oils for your hair, works great. Shea Butter is also great for the skin and hair. If you will not eat it then don’t put in on you skin. Stay away from mineral oils, it clogs the pores. Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps are great not just for the body, the liquid soaps are great for shampoos. Jason’s also makes good organic soaps. Use non-fluoride toothpaste. Jason makes and excellent non-fluoride toothpaste and Tom’s make great non-fluoride toothpaste also.
Massages are very helpful in reversing lymphatic disorders. Lymphatic massage incorporates deep tissue cleansing due to the pressure used. Try to put lymphatic/deep tissue massages in your regime as often as possible.
Exercise is very important, because unlike the blood that has two pumps, the heart and the lungs, to cause it to circulate it ten times a minute, the lymph does not have a pump, so your movement is necessary and vital for lymphatic circulation. A good lymphatic system only circulates the body once a day so it do not need to be sluggish. The best and simplest exercise in the world is walking. A nice brisk walk for at least 1-5 miles a day is great. The second best is cycling. Stationary bikes are good, however, it is nothing like riding out into the world and breathing The Father’s fresh air and being closer to the rest of His creations. The more you move, the more the lymphs nodes circulate and the easier it is for the body to keep them clean.
If you go to the months of March(for the kidneys), May(colon & liver) & Nov. (cancer) in my blog, it will have suggestions for cleansing products to help in your quest. I feel you should use them all.
Keep me posted.

Peace & Love Forever!

Cancer

Uncle Chuckie, can anyone give me any information about cancer, particularly spinal cancer?

First we have to understand what is cancer or a cancer cell. Cancer is really a natural process where an overworked and weakened immune system cannot kill the cancerous cell as fast as it should and it continues to multiply. Toxins, carcinogens, radiation and some viruses, combined with an unhealthy internal environment in union with a weak immune system causes more cells to turn cancerous and allowing them to thrive. We must change our environment, internal and external, to make our internal environment a place where cancer can’t easily survive.
What makes cancer a natural process is that a cancer cell is a normal cell that is very low in oxygen and it does not have the proper communication with normal cells and start acting abnormally. This is why you hear health specialist and experts say cancer is abnormal cell activity. Many doctors unfortunately say that cancer is a proliferation of dead cells. If the cells are dead there would be no activity, no action. Cancer cells are active and the cells abnormal activity is due to the lack of oxygen and low alkaline level which means an excessive acid level. An very small percentage of cells in everyone turn cancerous and the body usually gets rid of them before they do any harm. It is when more cancerous cells are being created than the body can get rid of, that the problem is created. With increased toxins, viruses, carcinogens, etc. our immune systems have become drastically overworked and weakened.
The underlying cause of all cancer was, may have been, discovered by Otto Warburg over 50 years ago. He won two Nobel Prizes for work proving cancer is caused by a lack of oxygen respiration in cells. A nurse working in medical research said, “It is so simple. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before. When working with cell cultures in the lab, if we want the cells to mutate, we turn down the oxygen, and to stop them from mutating, we turn the oxygen back up“.
Two doctors, Ma Lan and Joel Wallach point out that one type of white blood cells kills cancer cells by injecting oxygen creating hydrogen peroxide into the cells. So it makes sense to increase cellular oxygen levels and to detoxify the body so that more cells stay oxygenated.
Alkali solutions tend to absorb oxygen, while acids tend to expel oxygen. All body fluids, except the stomach and urine are supposed to be mildly alkaline. Stomach fluids remain acidic to digest foods and the urine must remain acidic to remove waste.
Unfortunately, chemotherapy is a man made chemical to try to destroy cancer cells and in doing so it destroys the immune system. As the immune system tries to rid the body of the foreign agent (chemo), it can’t rid the body of the cancerous cells. Radiation kills all of the cells. In the medical profession, the idea of destroying the cells where the cancerous cells are focused, thinking that the body will create new cells. The body needs energy and a normal immune system to produce new cells and how can that be done when the body and immune system is weak? They both deplete the cells of oxygen, in turn causes or lets the cancer cells thrive and multiply.
When insufficient mineral consumption is in the diet, the body is forced to rob Peter(other body fluids) to pay Paul(the blood). In doing so, it removes crucial minerals from the saliva, spinal fluids, kidneys, liver, etc.
The human body is made up of 78% water by weight, and that water is hydrogen and oxygen. Oxygen is essential to metabolize food and create energy.
There are many things we do or that happens in our lives that causes the low oxygen level in our bodies; smoking, hydrogenated oils and trans fats, sodium nitrite(found in processed meats), pesticides, chlorine, household cleaning products, perfumes, cosmetics, hair color and hair permanent chemicals, deodorant(aluminum), mineral oil, fluoride, refined/white sugar, white(bleached) wheat(grains) and white rice, preservatives, additives, food dyes, lack of exercise, shallow breathing, severe emotional and relationship stress, etc.
Some of the best ways to add oxygen into our bodies are to change our environment, internally and externally. Internally by eating raw foods, preferably organic. Eat green colored foods; kale, parsley, spinach, etc. Green foods are great alkaline foods saturated with nutrients.
Green and vegetable drinks(natural, without additives and preservatives).
Fruits like melons, dark berries(blue & blackberries, raspberries, goji, elderberry, etc.). Pure, natural fruit juices. Organic ginger will help the problems in the stomach.
Live foods. Live foods keep your body alive. Dead foods kill the body. If you eat meats cut down considerably and eliminate red meats. If you eat poultry, eat all nature(organic) poultry. Do not eat farm raised fish, only wild caught.
Oxygen therapy will help. A homemade way to oxygen therapy is adding sea salt, MSM sulfur and 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide to your bath and soak for an hour or so.
Blood cleansing herbs such as Echinacea, Goldenseal root, Chickweed, Yellow Dock, Red Clover, Burdock root and Dandelion root.
Immune boosting herbs include Astragalus, Ginseng, Pau D’ Arco, Cat’s Claw along with Echinacea & Goldenseal root and a few others.
Seaweeds are very oxygenating and alkalizing. The best are Super Blue Green Algae, Chlorella, Spirulina, Dulse, Irish Moss and Kelp. Seaweeds will eradicate the damaging effects of radiation.
Mushrooms are very healing. Use healing and therapeutic mushrooms; Reishi, Maitake, and Shitake. These mushrooms help dissolve tumor growth.
Water and hydrotherapy is great also. Drink alkaline and distilled water. Adding liquid chlorophyll will boost the oxygen level in the body and it is also a great internal body deodorant.
Colonics and enemas will rid your body of toxins. Aloe Vera juice is very soothing and healing to the colon. It is also alkalizing.
Deep belly breathing expands the diaphragm muscle, expanding the lung’s air pocket, massaging the lymphatic system. Start by lying on your back with a book on your stomach. Begin breathing by pushing the book up with your belly while breathing through your nose. Exhale through the mouth. Yoga and Tai Chi is great also.
Sweating rids the body of toxins. Saunas and hot sea salt baths induce sweating.
Exercise. Exercise is always important to keep the body functioning properly. Stretching works wonders too.
Reduce stress. Rid yourself of negative emotions. Positive thoughts are a plus. A lot of Christians will say, after they are diagnosed with a dis-ease, “I am not claiming this.” Positive affirmations are great too.

Diverticulitis (digestive dis-ease)

Uncle Chuckie, I have a friend who was just diagnosed with Diverticulitis. Through medication and a temporary high fiber diet the disease has subsided. She hasn't had any complications since but want to know what small changes she can make to insure a healthy digestive tract long term.

Diverticulitis starts with a disease called Diverticulosis which creates pouches in the colon and is very uncomfortable. Your friend needs to work on a lifestyle change. More so with their diet. A temporary high fiber diet is good, however a continuous fiber rich diet will aid in alleviating the problem full term. The first thing is to clean out the colon. In the blog I wrote in May about the colon will help. In that blog is a product by Natural Balance called Ultra Colon Clenz and use as directed. The first thing they should do in the morning when they wake up is to drink about 16oz of water on an empty stomach to lubricate your colon and the other organs. They need to have at least one bowel movement a day. They need to modify their diet. Cut out or down eating meats (more so red meats) and diary products. It takes about 4 days for the human body to digest meat so it sits in the colon and aids in most of all bodily problems. A healthy colon needs enzymes to stay healthy and they can found in raw fruits and vegetables. Fruit that have the highest amounts of enzymes are; pineapples (bromelain), papaya (papain), apples, grapefruit, figs, dates and tomatoes. Big green leafy vegetables (spinach, kale, collared, turnip and mustard greens-cooked without meat) should be eaten 3-4 times a week. Also add parsley and cilantro which has chlorophyll and iron. Try to eliminate refined foods (white rice, white flour, white sugar, etc.) and processed foods. Drink plenty of water preferably alkaline, however distilled and spring will do.
Massages, yoga and deep breathing exercises will work wonders.

If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.

History Repeating Itself

Uncle Chuckie, you look like you got a lot on your mind. I know what it is? It's about that gang war we just had and that gang trying to take over this city ain't it?

Well! You're out there celebrating with them.

Not me. I'm just barbecuing for the Fourth.

This is what I'm thinking about. First, those guys wearing the blue scarves moved into those two vacant houses down the street and just took them over without paying for them. They started bullying and killing people and taking over their homes. Then there is this group of guys wearing the red scarves moving in around the corner and doing the same thing. Neither one of those groups own anything around here, yet they just come in this area to take over everything. They force the weak to work for them. They supply them with drugs and help them get strung out and they become depended on those guys. They've rape a lot of women and also helped a lot of them get strung out too and put them on the streets to work for them by selling their bodies.
They are taking over this neighborhood and are moving to the next. Now the guys in blue and the guys in red started fighting each other to claim property that they don't even own. The guys with the blue scarves chased the red scarves away. Now they have the nerve to come up with their own laws and trying to make everyone abide by their rules. And you're out there helping them celebrate their victory.

No, not me! I was just celebrating the Fourth of July.

What's the difference? Happy Fourth!!!!!!

Being Sexy!

Dear Uncle Chuckie, what do you honestly say to a woman who feels like she has to dress sexy and trendy to attract a man?

When a woman dresses sexy to attract a man, she will attract someone who is looking for sex and not who she really is. Once she becomes/shows him her true self, he's going to continue to look for that sexy woman even if it's not her. Her mate has to be a part of who she is and visa versa. Then there will be happiness. She will never be happy trying to be someone she's not. We all need someone who wants us for who we are not who we think they want us to be. If we are not satisfied with ourselves how can we expect someone else to be satisfied with us. If your inner beauty is not enough then nothing will be enough. Unfortunately this is becoming a world of sex. Love needs to resurface and it will if we stop giving into the sex temptation.

You can have sex with anyone. You cannot make Love to anyone.

Getting Old?

Uncle Chuckie, I'm starting to get up there in age and every old person I know is always complaining about all of the aches and pains they're going through. And the lost of memory too. They say it is because they're getting old. Will I be that way too?

To be truthful, that's up to you. You mind and body is under your control. It does exactly what you tell it to do. In other countries older people remain physically active and are emotionally, intellectually and mentally much more involved in their communities. Unfortunately, in the American culture there is a very strong message that when you get old (older) that you are basically useless. All of your ailments are because you are old and you are supposed to be in a specific condition, mentally and physically. Some of the famous quotes are; "It's because I'm getting old", "Old age will do this to you", "I'm too old for this" and the scariest one is "You're gonna get this way when you get old." We must realize that this is the rest of our lives.
We are not getting old, we are getting older. Aging creates the best years of our lives. Studies show that happiness goes up as we get older. People are more happy when they reach the upper 50's and over.
Aging as decay is a lifestyle, not inevitable. Old timers illness is decay. Stress brings decay. We choose to enter the rest of our lives either weak or strong. When we continuously sit in front of the tv, computer, video games, smartphones, etc. our bodies shuts itself down. We are moving machines. There is an old saying, "If you don't use it you lose it". It goes with all parts of living, body and mind. People lived well into their hundreds and now the average life expectancy is between 62.7 to 75yrs. Living longer is up to us. You feel the way you feel when you get older is because you choose to.
Our bodies renews about 1% of itself daily. It's like getting a brand new body ever three months. Our bodies rest in the winter and is basically brand new each spring and is ready for additional movement. We need to help our bodies renew itself by changing our lifestyles.
The best way to start is to use common sense. We need to change our diets, not diet. Change what and how you eat. Cut down or out meats and dairy products. Plenty of vegetables, fruit, legumes and nuts (possibly organic). Start exercising. Exercise you body, brain and emotions.
The emotional content of our life is the most important followed by exercise then nutrition. The easiest thing to change is the one we make the most difficult and that is to live better emotional lives. Eating is the second most difficult and exercising is the third. Exercising with others can help build emotional ties and connecting with people with good eating habits can help you eat better. If you notice that every time good heath becomes an issue in life the media and fast food restaurants start advertising poison. Now it's bacon. The baconator, baconaila, etc. And all of the so-called nutritional ads are about fiber, fiber and fiber. Although we do need fiber in our diets too much can hurt you too. Since fiber carries water out of the body too much can cause dehydration and gas. High amounts of fiber may limit the absorption of iron and calcium and can cause deficiencies in nutrition. Too much can also cause constipation if you don't drink plenty of water. Everything in moderation. We must stop letting the media run our lives.
We need to rid ourselves of our bad past. Too many people try to hard to do the impossible and that is to continue to live the past. We can't live the past. We must learn from the past. We build up in our bodies our bad emotional past and refuse to let it go. Then we get to the point where we don't realize that we have built up so much in us from the past and wonder why we keep repeating it. We repeat it more in our minds and unconsciously take it out on those in our present and/or we keep it in let it decay our bodies and our brain then we get American old.
I am not put on this earth for me. I am put here for you and you for me. No living thing or being are meant to live alone. We are built to be part of a pack. You don't have to like everyone in your pack just get along with them. People surrounded by people do a lot better than those who are alone. Touching is very important too. Even if it is just a hug or a handshake. They will go a long way.
Read! Study and Learn. Do puzzles. Research things you doubt and things you want to know more about. Rid yourself of negativity and live a more positive life. Rid yourself of negative company. When people think negatively about you is their problem not yours. When you feel things are not going the way you think they should or the way you have felt they should have went in the past develop the "Oh Well!" attitude and move on. Stop getting upset with things you have no control over. Live a more relaxed life. Don't just Love yourself you must like yourself also.
We always work on treating problems when things go wrong (physically and mentally) instead of preventing them from happening.
You are going to grow older and the pace you grow older is up to you. There are three main types of people out there; Those who keeps their mind and body physically active (a little exercise, decent social circle and a few interest) will keep themselves from getting American old. Those who are about 100 pounds over weight and lonely decides to start by walking with someone will start creating a emotional bond and that is a good start. And the ones who have a very low chance of living healthy as they age are the ones who don't want to do anything from the beginning and that's the majority of us.
Never give up your dreams. Let go of your past. It is never too late to live your dreams and to live a healthier and brighter life. Today is all that matters and you can choose to live it drowning, swimming or soaring. It's up to you. You and only you have control.

Colon

Uncle Chuckie, when I was having problems with fibroids I could not go to the bathroom. It was days and sometime weeks before I went. It is better now but I know there is a build up. What can I do?

The first thing I would do is to detox my liver. With a colon build-up it is possibly sending toxins back to the liver and your liver might not be able to release toxins. There is a product called Complete Liver Cleanse by Enzymatic. I like the ingredients in it.
A colonic will help however, I would like to get your body use to emptying itself again on it's own. There is a product called Ultra Colon Clenz by Natural Balance that I like for you. Get the one in the green and white box and not the one in the flowered box. I like the ingredients and the amount of grams better. Spirulina would be excellent for you. It improves immune functions. It has anti-inflammatory properties which can help in allergic reactions and allergies. It is a great source of protein, minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants. It is rich in iron and vitamin B-12 to easily absorb iron. One of the side effects of Spirulina is constipation however, it is also use as a colon cleanse. The benefits out way the slight side effects and the side effects only effect a small amount of people.
Eat alkaline foods like dark green veggies(broccoli, kale, spinach, etc.), apples, dates, figs, avocados and tomatoes. Drink alkaline water. Try to stay away from alcohol, trans fat, meats(beef and red meats more-so, dairy, colas(carbonated drinks), refined and processed foods.
Exercise and massages will definitely help.
The first thing you should do when you wake up in the morning in drink at least 16oz of water on an empty stomach to hydrate your organs.
This should help you a lot. Let me know how it goes.
