Hello and welcome to
"Health for a Lifetime"
00:00:45.62\00:00:47.58
I'm your host Don Mackintosh
00:00:47.61\00:00:48.91
and today, we're
just delighted to have
00:00:48.94\00:00:50.44
Dr. Mary Ann McNeilus with us.
00:00:50.47\00:00:52.00
Welcome Dr. McNeilus.
00:00:52.03\00:00:53.94
We're glad that you could
take time out of your schedule
00:00:53.97\00:00:55.96
And, you've
written a new book...
00:00:55.99\00:00:58.54
Well actually,
it's not that new...
00:00:58.57\00:00:59.93
It's been out for several
years and now is in, I believe,
00:00:59.94\00:01:02.64
12 different languages...
Cambodia, Thailand, did you say;
00:01:02.67\00:01:06.73
Laotian,
Vietnamese, Romanian, Spanish,
00:01:06.76\00:01:11.01
and several African dialects.
00:01:11.04\00:01:13.67
It's entitled
"God's Healing Way"
00:01:13.70\00:01:15.61
And, it has the
natural remedies section,
00:01:15.64\00:01:19.23
and then it has
also the health laws...
00:01:19.26\00:01:22.56
Actually that's
the first section,
00:01:22.59\00:01:23.68
then the natural remedies.
00:01:23.71\00:01:24.96
And then God's healing
way, that being the God's power
00:01:24.99\00:01:31.77
in those different
aspects, or simple remedies.
00:01:31.80\00:01:35.51
And today you're going
to show us a simple remedy,
00:01:35.54\00:01:37.04
and you'll see here we
kind of got things set up here
00:01:37.05\00:01:39.52
...I am feeling
SICK, I have a COLD,
00:01:39.55\00:01:43.35
I feel TERRIBLE...
00:01:43.36\00:01:45.00
and what are you
going to do for me today?
00:01:45.03\00:01:47.49
I have a headache...
I just feel terrible!
00:01:47.52\00:01:50.44
We're going to do
the hot foot bath.
00:01:50.47\00:01:54.28
One of the very basic
treatments that I feel
00:01:54.31\00:01:58.96
if you know no other
hydrotherapy treatment,
00:01:58.99\00:02:02.25
and this was the
only one you knew,
00:02:02.26\00:02:04.44
you could treat the greatest
00:02:04.45\00:02:06.23
variety of
ailments with this one.
00:02:06.26\00:02:09.04
Okay, so do I need
to take off my shoes,
00:02:09.07\00:02:11.13
or anything like
that? Yes you will.
00:02:11.16\00:02:13.49
Okay, I'll start doing that,
and let's just get ready here.
00:02:13.50\00:02:15.99
So, anybody at home you
can take off your shoes,
00:02:16.02\00:02:18.68
that's easy enough to do.
00:02:18.71\00:02:21.22
While Don is taking off his
shoes, I want to read to you
00:02:21.25\00:02:25.58
a text from Psalm 33:6, 9
00:02:25.61\00:02:30.81
It says, "By the word of
the Lord, were the heavens made,
00:02:30.84\00:02:35.56
and all the host of them
by the breath of his mouth
00:02:35.59\00:02:39.26
for He spake and it was done.
He commanded and it stood fast"
00:02:39.29\00:02:46.27
If God can speak and
have something appear
00:02:46.30\00:02:52.13
before our eyes, certainly
his power can be with us
00:02:52.16\00:02:56.47
and attend us when we practice
these simple healing remedies.
00:02:56.50\00:03:00.42
Okay, I have this
little container here,
00:03:00.45\00:03:04.32
and what do we need to do?
00:03:04.33\00:03:06.91
This container is
full of hot water,
00:03:06.94\00:03:10.40
and it's a good idea for
us to roll up our sleeves here
00:03:10.44\00:03:14.38
and decide is this water too hot
or not hot enough for your feet.
00:03:14.41\00:03:20.67
Well our hands are not a
good indicator of hot and cold
00:03:20.70\00:03:24.84
as we talked about in a prior
program... Too many calluses
00:03:24.88\00:03:28.99
or whatnot... Not as sensitive.
00:03:29.02\00:03:31.48
Not as sensitive, so
you have to use your...
00:03:31.51\00:03:33.09
So we can use our
elbow to check and see...
00:03:33.12\00:03:36.73
And if our elbow can
stay in the hot water without
00:03:36.76\00:03:39.88
having to be withdrawn quickly,
00:03:39.91\00:03:42.16
it's good enough for his feet.
00:03:42.19\00:03:44.59
So I should put my
feet right in there.
00:03:44.62\00:03:46.46
How full do we fill this up?
00:03:46.49\00:03:48.62
We like to have it full enough
so that when the feet are in,
00:03:48.65\00:03:51.61
the water comes at
least halfway between the
00:03:51.64\00:03:56.06
ankles and the knees.
00:03:56.09\00:03:57.30
It's ideal to
have it about mid calf.
00:03:57.33\00:04:01.14
I don't run away from you now...
00:04:01.17\00:04:02.62
I can't get away now, you've got
me! We have a captive audience.
00:04:02.65\00:04:05.75
Now what do we do next?
00:04:05.78\00:04:06.92
Now we have his
feet in the warm water,
00:04:06.95\00:04:10.73
and he's feeling comfortable.
00:04:10.76\00:04:13.41
It isn't overly
hot, or too cool. Okay
00:04:13.44\00:04:17.39
The next thing you can see here,
we have draped on the chair
00:04:17.42\00:04:20.70
a blanket... I just
cover myself up with this...
00:04:20.73\00:04:23.92
underneath, on the outer
cover and a sheet, a flat sheet
00:04:23.96\00:04:28.59
on the inner cover, and so then
we will simply bring this around
00:04:28.62\00:04:33.28
his shoulders...
00:04:33.31\00:04:35.45
I'm feeling much better already,
00:04:35.48\00:04:37.32
although I still have
that crushing headache.
00:04:37.35\00:04:39.21
You're going to feel a little
warm and sweaty... All right
00:04:39.24\00:04:42.53
And of course, when we do
the treatment we'll probably
00:04:42.56\00:04:45.81
have people in a
comfortable light attire,
00:04:45.84\00:04:49.57
like an undergarment,
or a sleeping garment...
00:04:49.60\00:04:52.09
No suit and tie
like me... NOT like that.
00:04:52.12\00:04:55.33
But, we will pretend
that that's the case.
00:04:55.36\00:05:00.90
We like to cover
where the feet are...
00:05:00.93\00:05:04.81
completely cover so
that the water will stay warm
00:05:04.84\00:05:09.75
for a reasonable
length of time...
00:05:09.78\00:05:11.95
And we'll like it so
that in a period of time,
00:05:11.98\00:05:16.22
actually, the
individual will start to sweat.
00:05:16.25\00:05:19.31
You know, there were 2 things
that I still need to do...
00:05:19.34\00:05:23.34
One is, this towel
that is draped here,
00:05:23.37\00:05:28.34
is actually not
just for decoration,
00:05:28.37\00:05:30.84
it actually should
have been put on the floor
00:05:30.87\00:05:34.71
before this pan of
hot water was put here,
00:05:34.74\00:05:37.23
but since we don't
actually have hot water in here,
00:05:37.26\00:05:39.85
we can take a little liberty
to slip it underneath here
00:05:39.88\00:05:43.93
and later on, you'll see
why this is a handy thing to do,
00:05:43.96\00:05:48.12
especially if you have
that pail full of water,
00:05:48.15\00:05:51.38
and reasonably heavy.
00:05:51.41\00:05:52.67
The other thing that I like
to remind people that you do
00:05:52.68\00:05:57.72
before the treatment
begins is to always remember
00:05:57.75\00:06:02.30
to have a word of prayer.
00:06:02.33\00:06:05.02
We pray first to ask the Lord's
blessing upon the treatment
00:06:05.05\00:06:10.14
We pray after the treatment
to thank Him for helping us
00:06:10.17\00:06:15.09
with the treatment.
00:06:15.10\00:06:16.36
And now, I would like to
share with you a little picture
00:06:16.39\00:06:21.06
that I have from the
country of Cambodia...
00:06:21.09\00:06:23.75
If we can show that now...
00:06:23.78\00:06:26.28
When we are in the
field, or out in the villages,
00:06:26.31\00:06:32.32
I remind the people
just as I have reminded you
00:06:32.35\00:06:35.87
that we always... I
said if they remember
00:06:35.90\00:06:40.12
nothing else that I
tell them, please remember
00:06:40.15\00:06:43.70
to begin the
treatment with prayer,
00:06:43.73\00:06:45.90
asking for the Lord's blessings,
and to complete the treatment
00:06:45.93\00:06:49.60
with a prayer of thanks...
00:06:49.63\00:06:51.46
Of thanksgiving to him for
helping with the treatment.
00:06:51.49\00:06:54.48
That is the faith factor that
we don't wait for the result
00:06:54.51\00:06:59.49
...we pray and ask Him
and thank Him for giving
00:06:59.52\00:07:03.66
a good result to our treatment.
00:07:03.69\00:07:07.26
So, you're praying
and thanking Him for that,
00:07:07.29\00:07:10.24
but what's the
real way this works?
00:07:10.27\00:07:12.15
How does this
work physiologically?
00:07:12.18\00:07:13.95
We know that the power
of prayer, of course, works
00:07:13.98\00:07:16.67
and nothing else
will work without it,
00:07:16.70\00:07:18.73
but how is this treatment
working, and what's it doing?
00:07:18.76\00:07:21.22
God has laws or laws of
health and laws of physiology
00:07:21.25\00:07:26.22
and we're employing
one of the God-given laws
00:07:26.23\00:07:29.32
and that is when we
put the feet in hot water,
00:07:29.33\00:07:32.28
the feet often
will turn a pink color,
00:07:32.31\00:07:35.84
and the reason for that
is that the heat will dilate
00:07:35.87\00:07:40.08
the blood vessels upon
the surface of the skin
00:07:40.11\00:07:42.59
and as much as one-third of
the blood volume of the body
00:07:42.60\00:07:45.91
then can come to
the area of the feet.
00:07:45.94\00:07:48.96
And this will
actually decongest the head,
00:07:48.97\00:07:54.40
or anything
proximal to the feet...
00:07:54.43\00:07:56.95
and this is why anything
from a headache to a backache,
00:07:56.96\00:08:00.33
to a stomachache, to even
pelvic cramps can be helped
00:08:00.36\00:08:07.39
with the benefit
of a hot foot bath,
00:08:07.40\00:08:09.16
and this is why it is
such a versatile treatment,
00:08:09.19\00:08:12.85
and such a wonderful treatment.
00:08:12.88\00:08:14.21
So if you have
towels, and you have a bucket,
00:08:14.24\00:08:16.28
if you have hot water, and
you have trust and faith in God,
00:08:16.32\00:08:18.20
then this is going to help with
00:08:18.86\00:08:19.99
a LOT of
different things... It will
00:08:20.02\00:08:21.60
How long do I sit here,
00:08:21.63\00:08:23.08
and how long do I
stay a cocoon... as it were
00:08:23.11\00:08:26.83
Well, an ideal time
is about 20 to 30 minutes
00:08:26.86\00:08:32.03
at least for an adult,
and for a smaller child from,
00:08:32.06\00:08:36.13
say the age of 3 onward,
and you can use it as soon as
00:08:36.16\00:08:40.33
the child can sit
still for a period of time,
00:08:40.36\00:08:42.49
it may only be 10 or 15
minutes for a smaller child.
00:08:42.52\00:08:46.02
...But that's all
right, that can be done,
00:08:46.05\00:08:48.90
So anywhere from 10 to 15,
possibly 20 minutes for a child,
00:08:48.93\00:08:54.80
but 20 to 30, sometimes
even 40 minutes for an adult.
00:08:54.83\00:08:58.27
Okay, so now we've been there
00:08:58.30\00:09:00.47
20 minutes - 30
minutes, and then what do we do?
00:09:00.51\00:09:03.32
Not quite... Okay,
what do we do next?
00:09:03.36\00:09:04.83
He's only been in his treatment
for about 5 minutes now
00:09:04.86\00:09:08.72
and are you
starting to get warm?
00:09:08.75\00:09:10.75
I'm warm... I'm
feeling swaddled.
00:09:10.78\00:09:13.74
Well, this is why, in addition
to the bucket of hot water,
00:09:13.77\00:09:17.29
you will have another
basin here which you will see,
00:09:17.32\00:09:20.37
and this has some
ice water in it... Hmmm
00:09:20.40\00:09:23.56
and, not as bad as you
think, this is a welcome feel
00:09:23.59\00:09:27.85
and there are a
couple of washcloths...
00:09:27.88\00:09:29.80
There may be a small towel,
and these are in this ice water
00:09:29.81\00:09:35.41
for a very good reason...
00:09:35.42\00:09:36.39
Because when you start to
get warm, and start to get warm
00:09:36.40\00:09:38.73
and start to sweat...
... Put them on my head!
00:09:38.76\00:09:39.90
That's right, we want to keep
00:09:39.93\00:09:41.69
the head cool
with these treatments.
00:09:41.73\00:09:43.64
This will minimize any
chance of getting headaches,
00:09:43.68\00:09:46.51
and it will also be a
comfort factor as well.
00:09:46.54\00:09:50.73
All right, well put it on there!
00:09:50.76\00:09:52.02
All right! Do it up
there, put that big one
00:09:52.05\00:09:54.45
on there and let's
just... The long ones,
00:09:54.48\00:09:56.85
a lot of times, you can
put it right around the neck.
00:09:56.88\00:10:00.33
And this is one thing,
you can put the cool water
00:10:00.36\00:10:03.81
right around the neck...
00:10:03.84\00:10:04.91
Don't want to cover my
microphone up too much there.
00:10:04.95\00:10:07.17
No, we'll try to leave that out.
00:10:07.20\00:10:09.07
If he sounds
muffled, we'll know we have to
00:10:09.10\00:10:11.66
change the towel. Okay...
00:10:11.69\00:10:13.37
And then we just, with a
small child, you can actually
00:10:13.38\00:10:15.99
just make a turban, and
you can even with an adult,
00:10:16.02\00:10:19.67
take a larger towel and make
a turban, put it right around
00:10:19.68\00:10:22.14
the head, or you can wipe
the head with a cool towel
00:10:22.17\00:10:27.70
or washcloth during the
time of the treatment...
00:10:27.73\00:10:31.69
I never felt better...
00:10:31.72\00:10:33.00
A lot of times, when you
start to sweat, you can lose
00:10:33.03\00:10:36.61
as much as a cup of water just
through the pores of your skin
00:10:36.62\00:10:40.50
with sweat during a treatment,
00:10:40.53\00:10:42.13
and this is why we like to
also have a glass of water,
00:10:42.16\00:10:45.78
and a straw, depending
if a person is lying down...
00:10:45.81\00:10:49.48
it's just a little
easier to drink with a straw.
00:10:49.51\00:10:51.93
And so, this can be
just room temperature water
00:10:51.96\00:10:55.72
and we will give
him a sip of water.
00:10:55.75\00:10:58.21
All right, I certainly need one.
00:10:58.24\00:10:59.36
Ummmm... For your
mouth is a little dry
00:10:59.39\00:11:03.06
by then... Excellent! Good.
00:11:03.09\00:11:05.50
So, we try to keep comfortable.
00:11:05.53\00:11:07.98
But there's another thing
we have to remember too...
00:11:07.99\00:11:10.56
All the time his feet
have been in the water,
00:11:10.59\00:11:13.00
it's been 5 or 10 minutes now
00:11:13.03\00:11:15.02
and SO we need to add a
little hot water to that bucket.
00:11:15.05\00:11:21.81
Are your feet
getting a little cool now?
00:11:21.84\00:11:24.32
They're getting
cool... We need some hot water.
00:11:24.35\00:11:26.41
Getting a little
bit too comfortable
00:11:26.44\00:11:28.03
Yeah, just add a
little water. All righty!
00:11:28.06\00:11:29.87
Well for this, we
may do several things...
00:11:29.90\00:11:32.45
Depending on the
size of the bucket,
00:11:32.48\00:11:34.35
he can take his
feet out of the bucket,
00:11:34.38\00:11:36.96
but if we can move
his feet to one side...
00:11:36.97\00:11:39.77
Sure, put some in there...
00:11:39.80\00:11:41.48
We can just move, actually
one foot in front of the other
00:11:41.51\00:11:44.65
to one side, and you
will notice... Yes indeed
00:11:44.68\00:11:48.26
It's pretty tight
quarters, and this is hot water
00:11:48.27\00:11:50.83
This is boiling water! All right
00:11:50.86\00:11:53.18
So, we don't want to burn him,
00:11:53.21\00:11:54.37
and if anything, I'm
going to burn myself before I
00:11:54.40\00:11:56.95
burn my patient.
00:11:56.98\00:11:58.21
So I will take my hand,
and swish around the water here
00:11:58.22\00:12:03.19
and between my hand,
and the edge of the bucket,
00:12:03.22\00:12:06.59
I will carefully and
slowly pour in some hot water.
00:12:06.62\00:12:09.96
But what you don't do, is
you don't have the person take
00:12:09.99\00:12:11.99
their feet out, if possible.
00:12:12.02\00:12:13.76
You may not have
to do it. Right, good.
00:12:13.79\00:12:15.81
So you can just
put them to one side,
00:12:15.84\00:12:18.41
but I have to keep
in touch with you...
00:12:18.44\00:12:19.87
I don't just dump
in the whole bucket,
00:12:19.88\00:12:22.43
our teakettle, but I
say, "How does that feel now"
00:12:22.46\00:12:27.40
It feels good, but we have
about a minute, 30 left here,
00:12:27.43\00:12:29.93
so what do we to finish this up?
00:12:29.96\00:12:31.47
All right... Since we've
got to finish our treatment,
00:12:31.50\00:12:35.07
and we'll assume we've
done this several times. Okay
00:12:35.10\00:12:37.88
This is the grand
finale to this treatment.
00:12:37.89\00:12:40.25
At the end of the treatment,
we have him take his feet
00:12:40.28\00:12:44.20
out of the water...
00:12:44.23\00:12:45.28
Put them right on that
towel? NOT quite yet! Almost...
00:12:45.29\00:12:48.65
But just kind of
bring your feet up here,
00:12:48.68\00:12:50.66
and put them right
on my hand, actually,
00:12:50.67\00:12:55.33
and tip your toes
up towards the ceiling,
00:12:55.36\00:12:57.86
toes up towards the ceiling...
00:12:57.89\00:12:59.47
And this is a pitcher
of cold water... OHHHH NO!
00:12:59.50\00:13:03.08
OH... but his feet
have been nice and hot,
00:13:03.11\00:13:04.82
so then we let him
know what we're doing...
00:13:04.85\00:13:07.04
this will be only a
few seconds of cool water,
00:13:07.07\00:13:10.57
and he was a very good patient.
00:13:10.60\00:13:12.09
He didn't even kick
me, reflexly here...
00:13:12.12\00:13:14.65
And then we put the feet down,
00:13:14.68\00:13:16.62
and we put the feet right on
the towel... To close the pores?
00:13:16.65\00:13:19.86
Yes, to close the
pores of the skin,
00:13:19.89\00:13:22.79
and can finish the treatment.
00:13:22.80\00:13:24.18
They we dry well
between the toes,
00:13:24.21\00:13:26.15
put on a pair of
warm socks or slippers.
00:13:26.18\00:13:28.27
If he has gotten very sweaty,
then we will simply take a
00:13:28.30\00:13:33.15
towel and we will take
out his arms and the legs.
00:13:33.18\00:13:38.52
We will just have him bring
his arms straight out here,
00:13:38.55\00:13:40.59
and we'll just... Rub me down!
00:13:40.62\00:13:43.14
Take off the sweat with the cool
cloth... I feel better already!
00:13:43.17\00:13:46.53
And then we'll dry
it, and we'll do that to
00:13:46.56\00:13:48.61
both arms and legs, and
then we'll let him put on a
00:13:48.64\00:13:51.60
clean change of
nonsweaty night clothes,
00:13:51.63\00:13:55.81
and go rest for
30 minutes to 1 hour.
00:13:55.84\00:14:00.34
If we don't have time to rest,
00:14:00.37\00:14:02.04
we don't have time for the
treatment, so you need to rest
00:14:02.07\00:14:04.71
We're talking to
Dr. Mary Ann McNeilus
00:14:04.72\00:14:07.31

Welcome back!
00:15:17.66\00:15:18.94
As you can tell,
I feel much better.
00:15:18.97\00:15:20.71
I'm no longer
enshrouded with various cloths,
00:15:20.74\00:15:23.52
and garments, but
Dr. McNeilus, thank you
00:15:23.55\00:15:25.70
very much, I feel much better.
00:15:25.73\00:15:28.97
Also, I'm just delighted
with your book that has all the
00:15:29.00\00:15:31.46
information about these
00:15:31.49\00:15:32.58
different treatments...
"God's Healing Way"
00:15:32.62\00:15:34.48
And so we looked at the
hot foot bath that can happen
00:15:34.51\00:15:37.87
in any culture in any country,
00:15:37.90\00:15:39.27
and really has a lot
of different treatments...
00:15:39.30\00:15:41.80
But I have something
I've got to confess...
00:15:41.84\00:15:44.31
You know what it is... Tell me
00:15:44.34\00:15:47.21
I still sense that
I have a sore throat.
00:15:47.24\00:15:50.21
I have a little
tickle in my throat,
00:15:50.24\00:15:51.79
and so what can
you do to help me?
00:15:51.82\00:15:54.51
I have just the remedy for you!
00:15:54.52\00:15:57.09
Excellent! I thought you might.
00:15:57.12\00:15:58.92
And it is in our little
book, "God's Healing Way"
00:15:58.95\00:16:01.54
under the section of
the heating compress.
00:16:01.57\00:16:04.73
Heating compress... is this
the same thing my mother used
00:16:04.76\00:16:06.83
when I was
growing up? It could be!
00:16:06.86\00:16:08.76
All right, let's
see what happens.
00:16:08.79\00:16:09.79
Sometimes it's the wool sock...
00:16:09.82\00:16:12.21
Not necessarily the
dirty sock, but the wool socks
00:16:12.24\00:16:15.51
around the throat. All right
00:16:15.54\00:16:16.96
The heating compress can be
used to a number of body areas
00:16:16.97\00:16:21.60
and is a good
adjunct to the hot foot bath,
00:16:21.63\00:16:26.55
or even the hot
and cold contrast bath.
00:16:26.58\00:16:29.17
I like to use them often
in conjunction with one other
00:16:29.20\00:16:32.64
treatment, because it
tends to prolong the effect
00:16:32.67\00:16:35.74
of the treatment that
you have just completed,
00:16:35.77\00:16:39.13
and this is the way it works...
00:16:39.14\00:16:40.80
It's more
localized than it is...
00:16:40.83\00:16:42.23
It's a more localized effect,
so if you have a sore throat...
00:16:42.26\00:16:46.50
a very easy thing to do is
to apply the heating compress
00:16:46.51\00:16:50.28
to the throat area, neck area.
00:16:50.31\00:16:53.14
The heating
compress consists of 2 parts;
00:16:53.17\00:16:56.68
a moist inner cloth...
Does it have to be cotton?
00:16:56.71\00:17:01.12
It can be of any material; in
fact, this is simply a washcloth
00:17:01.15\00:17:06.17
But a piece of flannel
cloth, or loosely woven cloth,
00:17:06.20\00:17:09.48
any cloth like that will do.
00:17:09.51\00:17:12.10
Actually, it doesn't
even have to be moist.
00:17:12.13\00:17:14.90
Occasionally, in very
elderly or very young,
00:17:14.93\00:17:19.59
they may not be able to
heat up a moist cloth...
00:17:19.62\00:17:23.71
And so just use a medicated or
00:17:23.74\00:17:25.68
dry cloth instead. Put
that around the neck...
00:17:25.71\00:17:28.60
But what you do is, first you
moisten it in just cool water;
00:17:28.63\00:17:32.04
take the inner cloth,
and moisten it in cool water,
00:17:32.05\00:17:36.94
and then wring it
out very thoroughly
00:17:36.95\00:17:40.12
so it's not
soggy, but it's damp.
00:17:40.15\00:17:42.66
And then you place
it around the neck...
00:17:42.69\00:17:44.62
you can go ahead and
put that around your neck.
00:17:44.65\00:17:46.91
It will feel cool. Okay
00:17:46.94\00:17:49.39
It usually is good to
have it long enough to wrap
00:17:49.42\00:17:52.01
completely around the neck.
00:17:52.02\00:17:53.51
That one doesn't
quite, but that's all right.
00:17:53.54\00:17:55.79
And then you take a dry
outer cloth that can be a
00:17:55.82\00:18:00.16
piece of wool, or heavy
tightly woven blanket material
00:18:00.19\00:18:04.91
that needs to actually be
wider than the inner cloth
00:18:04.94\00:18:09.84
because what you want to do
is to actually snuggly cover
00:18:09.87\00:18:15.15
completely that
moist inner cloth,
00:18:15.18\00:18:17.72
and don't have any
of the moisture on the
00:18:17.75\00:18:20.25
moist cloth being seen at all.
00:18:20.28\00:18:24.60
So that it's not
exposed to the air...
00:18:24.63\00:18:26.27
And then you apply it very
snuggly around, and then we
00:18:26.30\00:18:29.38
can take some
safety pins, and pin you.
00:18:29.41\00:18:34.21
My safety pins aren't
here, so you will hold it
00:18:34.24\00:18:36.87
for this demonstration.
00:18:36.90\00:18:39.14
And we can leave
this on, pinned of course,
00:18:39.17\00:18:42.87
on the outer part
for several hours,
00:18:42.90\00:18:45.96
or overnight.
00:18:45.99\00:18:47.89
Now, within about 30 minutes'
time, the moist, cool inner
00:18:47.92\00:18:53.82
cloth should be heating up...
00:18:53.83\00:18:56.05
And so it's a good idea within
about 1/2 an hour to check.
00:18:56.08\00:19:00.48
If it's a small
child that cannot tell you,
00:19:00.51\00:19:03.10
then you need to
stick your finger inside,
00:19:03.13\00:19:07.16
and see if that
cloth is heating up.
00:19:07.19\00:19:09.54
And when it's
heated up, what do you do?
00:19:09.57\00:19:11.16
Then you simply... you
know that the treatment
00:19:11.19\00:19:13.57
is going to work, and then you
leave it on either for 4 hours,
00:19:13.60\00:19:17.44
several hours, or overnight.
00:19:17.47\00:19:20.04
By the time morning comes,
often that moist cloth will be
00:19:20.07\00:19:24.29
DRY as well as
warm, and then you can
00:19:24.32\00:19:28.31
simply remove it... so we
won't leave you with that on,
00:19:28.34\00:19:33.39
and then you can...
Oooo, I feel better already.
00:19:33.42\00:19:35.27
This is nice
and warm! Very nice!
00:19:35.30\00:19:37.51
Now what you do... it's
heated up already with him
00:19:37.54\00:19:39.95
and then you just take a
little bit of cool cloth,
00:19:39.98\00:19:42.31
and you just do a
little cool mitten friction,
00:19:42.34\00:19:44.44
just a little cool
rub, and a dry off,
00:19:44.47\00:19:47.21
and you have
completed that treatment.
00:19:47.24\00:19:49.42
So you close out
those pores again...
00:19:49.45\00:19:51.20
Yes. The way that the
heating compress works is
00:19:51.21\00:19:54.01
actually the cool cloth
again drives the blood more
00:19:54.04\00:20:00.37
inward underneath the
tissue part being treated
00:20:00.40\00:20:03.71
But as it heats up,
again, the surface of the skin,
00:20:03.74\00:20:07.38
the vessels dilate,
drawing the blood out to the
00:20:07.41\00:20:10.93
skin surface, thereby,
again decongesting the part
00:20:10.96\00:20:16.06
that is being
treated, and allowing a greater
00:20:16.09\00:20:19.48
circulation of the
blood in that area.
00:20:19.51\00:20:22.23
This is a mini treatment
of the hot and cold contrast
00:20:22.26\00:20:26.62
or the other treatment.
Well, I can tell you one thing,
00:20:26.65\00:20:28.34
I have had this treatment
before when I was growing up,
00:20:28.37\00:20:31.21
and even now I
use it, and it works!
00:20:31.24\00:20:33.62
I have used it MANY
times, and it JUST WORKS!
00:20:33.65\00:20:39.33
I'm just going
to say... IT WORKS!
00:20:39.36\00:20:41.11
You can trust this!
I know that it works.
00:20:41.12\00:20:42.71
And do you pray
before this treatment,
00:20:42.74\00:20:44.23
and then
afterwards as well, right?
00:20:44.24\00:20:45.82
Oh, I do with every one.
00:20:45.85\00:20:47.70
This was one treatment I
can recall earlier in my career
00:20:47.73\00:20:51.60
being plagued with frequent
sore throats before a lot of
00:20:51.63\00:20:55.06
my lifestyle changes occurred,
and when I learned about
00:20:55.09\00:20:58.44
this simple treatment, I decided
I was certainly going to try it.
00:20:58.47\00:21:02.27
Many sore throats are
often caused by viruses,
00:21:02.30\00:21:06.53
or things that really
doctors cannot adequately treat,
00:21:06.56\00:21:09.92
and I can recall if I felt
a scratchy sore throat-feeling
00:21:09.95\00:21:13.64
...now for the
next 7 to 10 days,
00:21:13.67\00:21:17.80
I'm probably going to
have to suffer with this thing.
00:21:17.81\00:21:19.91
But this cuts it
down... plus probably a lot of
00:21:19.94\00:21:21.93
water too, right? Oh, overnight!
00:21:21.96\00:21:23.27
What about this lemon, should
we put some lemon in there
00:21:23.30\00:21:25.29
and garlic... is that
what you have that for?
00:21:25.30\00:21:26.87
Well, I'll tell you
what that will be for.
00:21:26.90\00:21:29.59
But I will say one final
thing on the heating compress...
00:21:29.62\00:21:32.59
It is so simple, that
even a doctor can do it.
00:21:32.62\00:21:36.89
Well, we're glad
you're with us today, doctor.
00:21:36.92\00:21:38.67
What's the lemon and garlic for?
00:21:38.70\00:21:40.74
I have here one of nature's
WONDERFUL natural antibiotics
00:21:40.77\00:21:45.33
In fact, the garlic is found
almost everywhere in the world
00:21:45.36\00:21:49.82
that I have been from
Romania, to Cambodia, to Laos,
00:21:49.83\00:21:54.75
and most anywhere
you will find the garlic.
00:21:54.78\00:21:58.04
Garlic is put by our Creator
there for several reasons.
00:21:58.07\00:22:01.75
It is antibacterial...
00:22:01.78\00:22:03.90
You can rub it on stuff
and it will help. It will
00:22:03.93\00:22:06.81
...antiviral,
antifungal, and antiparasitic.
00:22:06.84\00:22:11.84
It has at least those
distinct properties among
00:22:11.87\00:22:16.16
many others that
make it of value.
00:22:16.17\00:22:18.37
I think it lowers
your cholesterol too...
00:22:18.40\00:22:20.12
Yes, and blood pressure.
00:22:20.15\00:22:21.81
It has anticancer properties...
00:22:21.82\00:22:24.21
And it keeps those people
away from you who you really
00:22:24.24\00:22:26.28
don't know whether or
not they like you, right?
00:22:26.31\00:22:27.71
It's wonderful... it's
many, many great things.
00:22:27.74\00:22:32.04
So, how are you
going to use that today?
00:22:32.05\00:22:34.20
One of the wonderful natural
antibiotic teas that almost
00:22:34.23\00:22:38.91
everyone can have
in their kitchen...
00:22:38.94\00:22:41.87
if they have a
garlic bulb, and a lemon,
00:22:41.90\00:22:45.08
are making
garlic-lemon tea. Sounds good!
00:22:45.11\00:22:48.40
And this is especially
good for the upper respiratory
00:22:48.43\00:22:51.05
passages and for the lungs.
00:22:51.08\00:22:52.85
And this is a VERY
simple thing to make...
00:22:52.88\00:22:55.37
You simply take your kettle,
and boil up a quart of water
00:22:55.40\00:22:59.99
Now, I'll just set it on
my lap here for demonstration.
00:23:00.02\00:23:04.08
And from your bulb, you
can extract anywhere from
00:23:04.11\00:23:08.95
2 to 4 garlic pieces.
00:23:08.98\00:23:15.22
And you just put them
in there. Let's do that.
00:23:15.25\00:23:18.07
Good idea here... All right.
00:23:18.10\00:23:20.67
And you take out the
2 to 4 cloves there...
00:23:20.68\00:23:23.99
Is that what you
were talking about? Yes
00:23:24.02\00:23:25.33
Now, if you can stand
garlic well, go ahead with 4,
00:23:25.36\00:23:31.02
but I'll assume that
you're a novice like I am,
00:23:31.05\00:23:34.56
and what you can do with
these is either chop them up
00:23:34.59\00:23:37.96
or put them through a
garlic press, or mash them.
00:23:37.99\00:23:41.15
Mash them or blend them.
00:23:41.18\00:23:43.04
And, in a little bit of water,
and then when you've got your
00:23:43.08\00:23:49.11
water boiling, just put your
blended mashed or pressed garlic
00:23:49.14\00:23:53.08
right into here... Okay
00:23:53.11\00:23:54.98
You can add a little pinch
of salt... if you want a little
00:23:55.01\00:23:59.39
flavor to it. That's fine.
00:23:59.42\00:24:01.26
And then you put your
lemon in there along with it?
00:24:01.29\00:24:03.04
You can, but I
don't always do that.
00:24:03.07\00:24:05.80
Then often, after I have
the garlic in the boiling water,
00:24:05.83\00:24:09.21
I will simply put the
lid on, take it off the heat,
00:24:09.24\00:24:12.71
and let it sit for
approximately 20 or 30 minutes,
00:24:12.74\00:24:16.72
or until it cools
down enough to drain.
00:24:16.75\00:24:19.12
And then... Ummm, I
can smell it already!
00:24:19.15\00:24:20.72
I know you can't smell it where
you are, but that smells great!
00:24:20.75\00:24:22.99
You want to put that in there?
00:24:23.02\00:24:24.01
Yes, I'll just put
those in there for now
00:24:24.04\00:24:26.38
to free my hands up here.
00:24:26.41\00:24:27.69
That's going to be some
really strong garlic there. Yes!
00:24:27.72\00:24:30.69
And then the lemon...
00:24:30.70\00:24:31.87
Then after it's ready to drink,
I'll pour myself a cup of tea
00:24:31.90\00:24:36.94
and I'll cut the
lemon into quarters,
00:24:36.97\00:24:41.23
half and then half
again, and I'll squeeze about
00:24:41.24\00:24:44.12
a quarter of a fresh
lemon into my cup of tea,
00:24:44.15\00:24:47.55
or just if it's cleaned
off, just drop that whole lemon
00:24:47.58\00:24:50.57
...the rest of the
lemon rind in there.
00:24:50.60\00:24:52.14
Doesn't that make things
constrict a bit, the lemon?
00:24:52.17\00:24:54.27
What does it do? Oh,
it gives it a wonderful
00:24:54.30\00:24:58.57
flavor, and you have
a nice tea that is also
00:24:58.60\00:25:02.78
good for the lungs, and
the upper respiratory passages.
00:25:02.81\00:25:06.98
Lemon and garlic have
even been written up in
00:25:07.01\00:25:09.65
the medical literature is a
great benefit for the lungs.
00:25:09.68\00:25:13.58
Okay, we have a little guy here
that has not fallen over there
00:25:13.61\00:25:16.84
...we're glad... What
are we going to do with him?
00:25:16.87\00:25:19.61
Well, often we wonder
what to do with babies...
00:25:19.64\00:25:22.94
and sometimes they
can get croup and coughs
00:25:22.97\00:25:27.19
and one can make a little
heating compress to the chest
00:25:27.22\00:25:31.44
quite easily very much the same
way as we did to the throat.
00:25:31.47\00:25:37.92
After you've given
the baby a warm bath,
00:25:37.95\00:25:40.11
and the baby is nice
and warm and relaxed,
00:25:40.14\00:25:42.64
you can take some cool water,
again make a smaller little
00:25:42.67\00:25:47.03
cloth here... I'll
make this small enough
00:25:47.06\00:25:49.69
for this baby, and just
put right on the bare chest
00:25:49.72\00:25:52.36
the cloth, and then you
can put a little bit of plastic
00:25:52.39\00:25:57.27
here just to keep it
from moistening anything,
00:25:57.30\00:26:02.10
and then you can put on a
wrap with a heavier cloth,
00:26:02.13\00:26:07.44
and pin it in place. Now
this is when he has a little
00:26:07.47\00:26:09.49
congestion, or a little croup.
... Croups or flu, a cough
00:26:09.52\00:26:14.08
this type of thing.
00:26:14.11\00:26:15.39
The heating compress to the
chest is a wonderful adjunct.
00:26:15.42\00:26:19.14
Will he cry? He
seems to not be crying.
00:26:19.17\00:26:22.18
This is quite a
painless procedure. Okay
00:26:22.21\00:26:25.46
And I can't say that they cry.
00:26:25.49\00:26:29.06
Gotta be careful that
it's not too hot though.
00:26:29.09\00:26:30.32
Well, it's cool water to start
with, and within 30 minutes
00:26:30.33\00:26:34.32
it should warm up, and because
babies can't tell you if it's
00:26:34.35\00:26:36.90
warming up, in 30 minutes,
stick your finger down in there,
00:26:36.93\00:26:40.27
and make sure that
it's starting to feel warm.
00:26:40.30\00:26:42.78
Now, garlic tea is also
one thing you can give babies.
00:26:42.81\00:26:46.14
I have treated a
number of babies with severe
00:26:46.17\00:26:48.79
chest infections in my
Amish population; bronchitis,
00:26:48.80\00:26:53.58
pneumonias, asthmas with
a little bit of garlic tea.
00:26:53.61\00:26:58.66
Again, it has
wonderful properties.
00:26:58.69\00:27:00.68
You can blend it up, and
you can put it in a bottle,
00:27:00.71\00:27:05.14
or put it in a
dropper to give to the baby...
00:27:05.17\00:27:08.65
along with a heating compress.
00:27:08.68\00:27:10.31
Again, it doesn't matter
where you live in the world
00:27:10.32\00:27:12.00
this is going to
work, and God can bless that
00:27:12.03\00:27:14.54
especially if you bath
these things in prayer...
00:27:14.57\00:27:17.68
is what you're
telling us, right?
00:27:17.71\00:27:19.66
That's right!
00:27:19.69\00:27:21.94
Well thank you so much for
00:27:21.97\00:27:23.08
being with us today,
Dr. Mary Ann McNeilus
00:27:23.09\00:27:25.68
We're excited about many of the
stories you had to share about
00:27:25.71\00:27:29.22
in working and ministering
with people around the world...
00:27:29.23\00:27:31.35
But more than that, the fact
that no matter where you are
00:27:31.38\00:27:34.32
in the world, you
can use simple remedies,
00:27:34.35\00:27:37.04
simple means
that anybody can use.
00:27:37.07\00:27:38.92
You don't have to
have a lot of money,
00:27:38.95\00:27:40.46
you don't have to
have a lot of experience...
00:27:40.49\00:27:42.42
You DO need have one
thing, that is trust in God
00:27:42.45\00:27:46.19
before you begin a treatment,
after you end that treatment
00:27:46.22\00:27:49.89
and then use really
the principles that we find
00:27:49.92\00:27:53.04
in your book,
"God's Healing Way"
00:27:53.07\00:27:54.43
We hope that this
program has been helpful,
00:27:54.46\00:27:56.60
and that you'll have
health as a result...
00:27:56.63\00:27:58.39
that lasts for a lifetime!
00:27:58.43\00:28:00.42
