For a lot of individuals suffering from rapid cancer cell activity or chronic states of cancer, solutions may seem nill or limited.  Often there is frustration, anger, resentment, hopelessness and other feelings that are paired with this illness.  As a trained naturopath and holistic practitioner, my focus is assisting in the care of the whole body.  In some cases, however there are direct root causes of illness or disease.  In the case of cancer is often is a chronic state of acidity, poor nutrition, toxicity or a combination of both.

I want to share a protocol that I often add to a specific cancer protocol for the clients here at Healthy Being Wellness Boutique.  It is a mixture of baking soda and grade b maple syrup.  The bicarbonate maple syrup cancer protocol focuses on delivering natural chemotherapy in a way that effectively kills cancer cells but significantly reduces the brutal side effects experienced with most standard chemotherapy treatments. In fact so great is the reduction that the dangers are brought down to zero. Costs, which are a factor for the majority of people, of this particular treatment are nil. Though this cancer treatment is very inexpensive, do not assume it is not effective. The bicarbonate maple syrup cancer treatment is a very significant cancer treatment every cancer patient should be familiar with and it can easily be combined with other safe and effective natural treatments.

This treatment is a combination of pure, 100% maple syrup and baking soda and was first reported on the Cancer Tutor site. When mixed and heated together, the maple syrup and baking soda bind together. The maple syrup targets cancer cells (which consume 15 times more glucose than normal cells) and the baking soda, which is dragged into the cancer cell by the maple syrup, being very alkaline forces a rapid shift in pH killing the cell. The actual formula is to mix:

• one part baking soda (aluminum free!!)
• three parts (pure, 100%) maple syrup in a small saucepan.

I've witnessed many individuals come in for ionized detox foot bath therapies and noted the high levels of acidity.  In taking pH tests, indeed these individuals present with higher pH levels.  It is imperative, in any cancer therapy to address the need to alkaline the body.  The Healthy Being team and I recommend juicing green veggies and will also recommend adding a mixed super green powder to daily shakes.  Nothing quite compares to the baking soda and maple syrup.

A therapeutic technique known as manual lymph drainage (MLD)* was developed in Europe over a decade ago. Through delicate and very specific massaging techniques it proved effective at reducing lymph-based disorders. It appeared to maximize cellular repair functions by amplifying the detoxification process within the tissue fed by the lymph. However, this manual therapy is tedious to perform, time intensive, and requires extensive training and experience to administer correctly. Researchers in the health field have discovered a tool that can assist and amplify the effects of manual lymph drainage, reducing the time and complexity of the therapy. The tool is an electronic massage device called the Lymphstar Pro^® Lymphatic Therapy Instrument.

Lymphatic therapists who tried the Lymphstar Pro^® immediately noted that it could be up to eight times faster at relieving edema and congestion than manual lymphatic drainage alone! It is now available to health professionals and to home users who are trained in its use by therapists. This exceptional instrument and corresponding de-congestive therapy technique have been tested successfully in massage therapy, as well as by physical therapists, lymphatic therapists, and others. Spas and estheticians are discovering the powerful effects of lymphatic therapy for enhancing relaxation, detoxification, cellulite therapy, and facial work. Training seminars and videos are available for the various applications among holistic health professionals.

*manual lymph drainage is an approved therapy in the U.S.A. for lymphedema & covered by insurance and Medicare.

The Lymphstar Pro^® is a therapeutic, vibrational, massage instrument with a unique combination of energetic modalities. They are: 1) physical vibration with sonic, or acoustic, waves, 2) an electro-static field; and 3) electro-pressure created by the use of multiple treatment points. All of these emissions are extremely low in energy so they are gentle and safe. Subtle energies like these may be called "vibrational energy," as they are at a level more perceptible to the energy system, or bio-field, than more aggressive modalities used to treat the body. However, by their very nature, the lymphatic vessels tune into and respond beautifully to this kind of energy!

First, the pulsating sounds that are heard coming out of the control unit and from the therapy heads are the sonic, or acoustic, waves. The therapy heads of the Lymphstar Pro^® deliver these vibrations through the surface of the Pyrex glass emitters within the heads. This acoustic wave-front delivers thousands of micro-pulsations into the skin, and creates a gentle, pulsing pressure. It is specifically engineered to replicate the type of motion used in manual lymph drainage, but with an extremely rapid sequence of pulses that cannot be done by hand! If you place a therapy head on your cheek, the pulses are especially easy to feel. By their very nature, your lymphatic vessels perceive it even more! And you can tune the pulses to vary in intensity with our exclusive, digital, pulse-rate control feature for different applications. The slower the rate of the pulses, the less intense the treatment.

Second, vibrational, or energy is further transmitted through a mild electro-static energy field that impinges on the skin of the user, and is transmitted through the glass tube as well. This allows dilation of the vessels via the sympathetic nerves to establish a current flow, from arteriole, to plasma fluid, to lymph vessel. The use of noble gas-filled tubes for this purpose is a safe and time-tested technology, long being used for its dermatological effects in cosmetic devices.** We are applying this electro-static energy in a new manner with the Lymphstar Pro^®, by combining it with acoustic vibrations!

And, the third dimension of the Lymphstar's technology is achieved by using multiple treatment points and our pulse-rate controller. By placing two treatment heads at different locations on the body, you generate a "field effect" over the entire area between the heads. We call this effect electro-pressure. With thousands of micro-pulsations vibrating at two locations at the same time, the response is to elicit a wider stimulation of flow within the lymphatics! And, you can vary this pressure by changing the pulse-rate and/or the intensity dial. Thus, this innovative technology provides lymph stimulation as a stand-alone therapy. Or it may be combined with manual massage techniques for a new, highly effective modality.

** Noble/rare gases are all present in the atmosphere. They are isolated and used in many applications from neon lights and flashlight bulbs to skin treatment devices. Electricity is used to "excite" the gases within a vacuum, similar to a neon light bulb. The Lymphstar Pro^® utilizes the gases Xenon, Argon, and Krypton in a proprietary combination within a Pyrex glass tube.

The Lymphstar Pro^® is applied by placing the transmission therapy heads on the skin of the client. The placement sequences, timing, and applications are covered in the product manual and videos. Use of the instrument on the body is followed by lymphatic massage. Or it may be used apart from the massage as a stand-alone therapy for non-bodyworkers. Lymphatic Decongestive Therapy may be helpful for various health challenges as part of a holistic approach to health restoration or maintenance. It is compatible and synergistic with all forms of naturopathic medicine (herbs, nutrition, supplements, colon hydrotherapy), bodywork and structural therapies, bio-energy medicine techniques (homeopathy, polarity, vibrational remedies, electro-dermal, etc.), and under the advice of a physician, medical care. Persons with serious health conditions are encouraged to seek the advice of their personal healthcare practitioner before having lymphatic therapy. There are contra-indications for it. Please consult your distributor for more information on recommendations.

• Used adjunctively to manual lymph drainage techniques, it improves lymphatic fluid flow and accelerates detoxification of tissues.
• May improve edema, fibrotic conditions, swollen lymph nodes, and healing of injuries and burns. Some conditions reported to have benefited from lymphatic therapy include breast lumps, inflammation due to muscular trauma, lymphedema, chronic pain, allergy & sinus symptoms, headaches, hormone imbalance and female conditions, digestive and bowel problems, post dental procedures, fibromyalgia, toxicity, and fatigue syndromes.
• Sports Medicine for injury rehabilitation & injuries in general. When using phototherapy devices such as a low-level laser and/or LED light technology, results are optimized when followed by lymphatic therapy. Use before and after athletics to increase performance and decrease muscle and tendon strain.
• Stress Relief: Provides a feeling of relaxation, emotional balance, well-being and increased energy.
• Esthetics: Cosmetic enhancement by the reduction of fluid deposits in the face, healthier skin, supporting all cellulite reduction therapies, & post-procedures such as micro-dermabrasion, laser resurfacing, plastic surgery, etc. Lymphatic therapy can minimize scars and the formation of new scar tissue.
• Obesity has been helped with improved lymphatic flow. When congestion is relieved, diet and exercise programs are far more effective.
• Veterinary applications in the same conditions as humans. In equines, used for the reduction of post performance stress/strain and healing of injury.
• Lymphatic therapy may be useful for health conscious individuals and athletes for its benefits to the immune system in prevention, anti-aging regimens, greater vitality, performance, by assisting in detoxification regimens.

Practitioners offering therapy with the Lymphstar Pro^® include naturopaths, bodyworkers, colon hydro-therapists, spas and estheticians, veterinarians, and lymphatic therapists.
