It seems to me that viral
infections are increasing,
00:00:01.98\00:00:04.55
and that the number of people
00:00:04.62\00:00:06.31
who get viral infections
00:00:06.34\00:00:07.31
is also increasing.
00:00:07.34\00:00:08.31
So we have both
the number of viruses
00:00:09.64\00:00:11.61
and the number of
people involved that seem to be
00:00:11.64\00:00:14.06
increasing.
00:00:14.09\00:00:15.06
We'll be talking about
this subject for the next
00:00:15.07\00:00:17.97
half an hour.
00:00:18.00\00:00:19.01
I'm Agatha Thrash
from Uchee Pines Institute
00:00:19.04\00:00:22.05
and some of my helpers
from there will be discussing
00:00:22.08\00:00:25.74
this topic... so we
hope you will join us.
00:00:25.77\00:00:26.74
Welcome to "Help Yourself to
Health" with Dr. Agatha Thrash
00:00:48.14\00:00:51.94
of Uchee Pines Institute.
00:00:51.97\00:00:54.13
And now, here's
your host, Dr. Thrash.
00:00:54.16\00:00:58.68
Sometimes it is quite difficult
for us to make the diagnosis
00:00:58.71\00:01:02.61
of a viral infection.
00:01:02.64\00:01:04.39
Sometimes a viral
infection will appear to be
00:01:04.42\00:01:08.35
a trauma...
00:01:08.38\00:01:09.35
or will appear to be...
00:01:09.36\00:01:12.18
some kind of collagen disease.
00:01:12.21\00:01:13.99
Or maybe, we
think it's an allergy.
00:01:14.02\00:01:17.23
And sometimes, we go
this way and that way...
00:01:17.26\00:01:20.03
and we may finally say,
well it's for sure an allergy.
00:01:20.06\00:01:24.23
And I think that probably
I have thought in myself,
00:01:24.26\00:01:27.82
as well as in my patients
00:01:27.85\00:01:29.32
that an allergy was a
virus, or a virus was an allergy
00:01:29.35\00:01:32.81
more than any other single
mistake that we might make
00:01:32.84\00:01:36.56
in diagnosis.
00:01:36.59\00:01:37.68
And so a number of
years ago, my husband and I
00:01:37.71\00:01:39.81
wrote a book called,
"Food Allergies Made Simple,"
00:01:39.84\00:01:42.88
along with Phyllis Austin...
00:01:42.91\00:01:44.61
And in this, we discussed the
symptoms of various allergies,
00:01:44.64\00:01:50.12
and if you were to read these,
you would think that we were
00:01:50.15\00:01:53.90
maybe talking about
a viral infection...
00:01:53.93\00:01:56.01
because they often
sound exactly the same.
00:01:56.04\00:01:59.04
So if you have
some kind of affliction
00:01:59.07\00:02:02.16
that seems to be an infection
and it goes on for a long time,
00:02:02.19\00:02:05.53
you have a fever...
every night you have a fever,
00:02:05.56\00:02:08.36
your muscles
ache, your joints ache,
00:02:08.39\00:02:10.83
you have a headache,
00:02:10.86\00:02:11.89
maybe even you feel
a little sore throat...
00:02:11.92\00:02:13.99
it may not be a
virus, it may be an allergy.
00:02:14.02\00:02:18.20
But in dealing with allergies,
00:02:18.23\00:02:20.57
we need to have some tools,
00:02:20.60\00:02:23.31
and some of these
tools are very simple.
00:02:23.34\00:02:25.42
And I have asked my cohort
at Uchee Pines, John Champen,
00:02:25.45\00:02:30.09
to talk with you about an
allergy that he deals with
00:02:30.12\00:02:34.45
sometimes...
00:02:34.48\00:02:35.45
And so, at this time,
00:02:35.46\00:02:36.94
John Champen will talk with you.
00:02:36.97\00:02:38.98
This is one of
our health educators
00:02:39.01\00:02:41.82
and
administrators at Uchee Pines.
00:02:41.85\00:02:44.22
John Champen.
00:02:44.25\00:02:45.22
Thank you.
00:02:45.23\00:02:47.11
There's something
that happens around here
00:02:47.14\00:02:49.99
and around, I guess,
all parts of the country
00:02:50.02\00:02:51.88
and a little in the
fall and in the winter...
00:02:51.91\00:02:55.17
people start getting the flu.
00:02:55.20\00:02:59.13
The bug comes by...
00:02:59.16\00:03:00.33
they find that their
throat starts to bother them
00:03:00.36\00:03:02.91
and the next thing you know,
00:03:02.94\00:03:05.48
the glands are
swollen on the side...
00:03:05.51\00:03:07.42
they're running a temperature
00:03:07.45\00:03:08.93
and they're in
the full swing of it.
00:03:08.96\00:03:11.60
Well, I've had the same problem,
00:03:11.63\00:03:14.28
and I'm sure you've had it too.
00:03:14.31\00:03:15.68
And they get shots for flu
and different things like that.
00:03:15.71\00:03:19.99
Then, I got to thinking one day,
00:03:20.02\00:03:22.48
well, God has a
solution to everything...
00:03:22.51\00:03:25.78
We may be among those
who have a virus or flu
00:03:25.81\00:03:30.08
and some people get
it and some people don't.
00:03:30.11\00:03:34.49
Well, I used to get it
and get it quite often.
00:03:34.52\00:03:37.01
But for the last 5 years,
00:03:37.04\00:03:39.04
I haven't had a virus.
00:03:39.07\00:03:40.60
Those around me in the
office with me where I work,
00:03:40.63\00:03:43.42
they've had the virus...
00:03:43.45\00:03:45.11
and I haven't had the virus.
00:03:45.14\00:03:47.68
I've had the
beginning of the virus though,
00:03:47.71\00:03:49.80
but at the first symptom,
00:03:49.83\00:03:51.52
something
interesting began to happen.
00:03:51.55\00:03:55.37
I reasoned that lemon...
00:03:55.40\00:03:58.14
you know, I've never seen a
worm in a lemon... have you?
00:03:58.17\00:04:02.13
Lemon is a natural antibiotic.
00:04:02.16\00:04:04.90
And I said... "Well, perhaps
00:04:04.93\00:04:06.87
ALSO, it can deal with
the virus very effectively"...
00:04:06.90\00:04:10.83
So, I thought maybe not
so much in taking lemonade
00:04:10.86\00:04:15.49
but perhaps if lemon juice
00:04:15.52\00:04:18.25
was in the area where
the viral infection was
00:04:18.28\00:04:21.17
just beginning.
00:04:21.20\00:04:22.24
...maybe it
would take care of it.
00:04:22.27\00:04:24.39
And so, this is what I did...
00:04:24.42\00:04:26.41
The next time I
had a first sign,
00:04:26.44\00:04:29.50
and, of course, I've
come to recognize those signs,
00:04:29.53\00:04:31.69
that little feeling in
the back of your throat...
00:04:31.72\00:04:34.38
it's a little bit raw and...
you know what I'm talking about.
00:04:34.41\00:04:38.86
You've had that too.
00:04:38.89\00:04:39.86
And so, I took the lemon juice,
00:04:39.87\00:04:43.02
and I took it up and I
00:04:43.05\00:04:47.64
rinsed my mouth to get
the area nice and lemony
00:04:47.67\00:04:50.98
and then held it in
the back of my mouth...
00:04:51.01\00:04:53.22
I said, "Well, let's
give it a good try. "
00:04:53.25\00:04:55.97
"Let me see if I can
hold it back there for about
00:04:56.00\00:04:57.96
20 minutes to a half an hour. "
00:04:57.99\00:05:00.24
It's a little reflex back there
that makes you want to swallow.
00:05:00.27\00:05:05.20
But, I held it anyway.
00:05:05.23\00:05:06.94
and when a little bit went back
00:05:06.97\00:05:09.26
and a little bit more swallowed,
00:05:09.29\00:05:10.45
I just took
another little sip...
00:05:10.48\00:05:12.74
so that I kept the
surface of my mouth all lemony
00:05:12.77\00:05:16.51
for about a half an hour.
00:05:16.54\00:05:20.30
After that time, I got up and I
00:05:20.33\00:05:24.44
I noticed that
there was a difference...
00:05:24.47\00:05:26.69
a slight difference.
00:05:26.72\00:05:27.69
And within 45
minutes to an hour,
00:05:27.70\00:05:29.90
the sensation that
had begun was finished.
00:05:29.93\00:05:34.09
My flu was averted,
00:05:34.12\00:05:37.28
and I said, "Well,
maybe it's just a quirk. "
00:05:37.31\00:05:40.90
So, the next time,
it came around again...
00:05:40.93\00:05:45.89
another flu, I don't
know what flu it was...
00:05:45.92\00:05:48.10
what number it was.
00:05:48.13\00:05:49.37
But I did the same thing.
00:05:49.40\00:05:50.51
I took the lemon
juice the first sign
00:05:50.54\00:05:54.28
and I held it in
the back of my mouth...
00:05:54.31\00:05:56.80
swished it around my mouth,
00:05:56.83\00:05:57.86
I laid down so that
it stayed in the back,
00:05:57.89\00:06:00.33
making sure
that it stayed there,
00:06:00.36\00:06:01.98
and I found that I was getting
00:06:02.01\00:06:03.53
a little better with
that swallowing reflex...
00:06:03.56\00:06:05.50
I could hold it a
little bit longer.
00:06:05.53\00:06:07.10
And for a half hour...
00:06:07.13\00:06:08.93
and I found that it was gone.
00:06:08.96\00:06:11.91
I didn't get the flu...
00:06:11.94\00:06:12.97
and it's been over 5 years
now and I haven't had the flu!
00:06:13.00\00:06:16.05
I've had the first
symptoms of the flu,
00:06:16.08\00:06:18.06
but I haven't had the flu
or a cold in over 5 years.
00:06:18.09\00:06:22.77
And, I'd like to
show you now with Melissa,
00:06:22.80\00:06:25.57
just how that is done.
00:06:25.60\00:06:27.15
Melissa is coming up...
00:06:27.18\00:06:32.42
and she's going to
take a little swallow of it
00:06:32.45\00:06:35.69
and then rinse it
around in her mouth
00:06:35.72\00:06:38.02
and then she's
going to lay down...
00:06:38.05\00:06:42.88
so that it stays in the back...
00:06:42.91\00:06:44.49
She's doing very well.
00:06:44.52\00:06:46.04
So that it stays at
the back of the mouth
00:06:46.07\00:06:48.04
and try not to swallow.
00:06:48.07\00:06:49.88
And she just relaxes and rests.
00:06:49.91\00:06:52.45
I find that doing that the
first thing in the morning,
00:06:52.48\00:06:55.58
either before I go to work,
00:06:55.61\00:06:56.99
or at night,
00:06:57.02\00:06:59.04
or whenever it is practical.
00:06:59.07\00:07:01.55
And it doesn't take very long.
00:07:01.58\00:07:02.83
You can do it
on your lunch hour.
00:07:02.86\00:07:04.10
Whenever you feel
that bug coming on,
00:07:04.13\00:07:07.03
you can go ahead and
have that simple treatment.
00:07:07.06\00:07:09.48
It's a blessing!
00:07:09.51\00:07:12.12
And, it is very, very cheap.
00:07:12.15\00:07:13.86
Now you can use
lemon juice here, or
00:07:13.89\00:07:16.95
you can use
what is right here...
00:07:16.98\00:07:23.12
...lemon
00:07:23.15\00:07:27.01
or a lime.
00:07:27.04\00:07:29.62
And you do
exactly the same thing
00:07:29.65\00:07:31.26
whether it's a lemon or a lime.
00:07:31.29\00:07:32.90
You do exactly the same thing.
00:07:32.93\00:07:36.73
Thank you.
00:07:36.76\00:07:40.82
This is a natural treatment that
the Lord has provided for us...
00:07:40.85\00:07:43.83
And, at Uchee Pines,
I've shared this with others
00:07:43.86\00:07:46.91
and even one of the physicians
there and they have tried it
00:07:46.94\00:07:52.55
and they've
shared it with others
00:07:52.58\00:07:54.39
And I'd like you to try it.
00:07:54.42\00:07:55.72
The next time you feel the
first sign of the flu coming on
00:07:55.75\00:07:58.97
that sensation in the back
of your throat that you know
00:07:59.00\00:08:02.28
what it leads to...
try some lemon juice.
00:08:02.31\00:08:06.13
Take it... swish it
around in your mouth
00:08:06.16\00:08:09.36
...hold it in the
back of the mouth,
00:08:09.39\00:08:10.60
lie down for 20
minutes to a half an hour.
00:08:10.63\00:08:12.78
And then, when you get
up, rinse your mouth real well
00:08:12.81\00:08:16.23
because the lemon
juice has a lot of acid and
00:08:16.26\00:08:19.51
it etches your teeth.
00:08:19.54\00:08:21.01
So rinse your mouth 2
or 3 times after you get up
00:08:21.04\00:08:23.93
and you'll find that
with the blessing of the Lord,
00:08:23.96\00:08:26.86
there are 2 more things
that would be helpful also.
00:08:26.89\00:08:29.90
One is, don't take
any sweets for that day.
00:08:29.93\00:08:32.92
Be sure you take nothing
that has extra sugar in it.
00:08:32.95\00:08:35.32
And the second thing
is, drink plenty of water.
00:08:35.35\00:08:38.42
And I believe God will bless
you even as He has blessed me.
00:08:38.45\00:08:43.15
I'm sure that He will and
00:08:43.18\00:08:44.21
you know it's
such a simple treatment
00:08:44.24\00:08:46.25
and, of course, it has vitamin
C in it and a number of other
00:08:46.28\00:08:50.24
nice nutrients that it
certainly will do you no harm
00:08:50.27\00:08:54.70
and an interesting
thing about this treatment is
00:08:54.73\00:08:58.62
what John Champen was
telling you and that is that
00:08:58.65\00:09:01.89
you take it with the very
first sign that you've got
00:09:01.92\00:09:05.47
the problem.
00:09:05.50\00:09:06.47
And that's a rule
00:09:06.50\00:09:07.47
of treatment.
00:09:07.50\00:09:08.47
The sooner you
begin treating it,
00:09:09.12\00:09:11.61
the greater the likelihood
that you have for success.
00:09:11.64\00:09:14.85
So, at the very
sign of a symptom,
00:09:14.88\00:09:19.28
consider that to be a
signal from heaven telling you
00:09:19.31\00:09:22.84
that tissue is
about to be injured
00:09:22.87\00:09:25.01
and then you can institute
your treatment at that time.
00:09:25.04\00:09:28.46
Now I'd like to show you
the differing signs or sizes
00:09:28.49\00:09:34.63
of a virus.
00:09:34.66\00:09:36.23
So, let me just show
you here on the board
00:09:36.26\00:09:39.61
just what you can expect in the
way of these very tiny viruses
00:09:39.64\00:09:43.98
and you can see why it is that
we are having a problem with
00:09:44.01\00:09:48.69
these viruses.
00:09:48.72\00:09:50.12
Let us say that this represents
the size of a small bacterium.
00:09:50.15\00:09:58.48
A very, very small bacterium
00:09:58.51\00:10:02.55
requiring the high
power lens of a microscope
00:10:02.58\00:10:07.23
in order to see it
with oil immersion.
00:10:07.26\00:10:10.96
Then, if that's the
size of a bacterium,
00:10:10.99\00:10:15.89
then a very large virus
would be perhaps this size.
00:10:15.92\00:10:21.49
And a medium-size virus
would be perhaps that size.
00:10:21.52\00:10:25.47
You can't see
these with a microscope.
00:10:25.50\00:10:27.50
And then, a very small
virus would be quite tiny...
00:10:27.53\00:10:33.01
...of course, very
much submicroscopic.
00:10:33.04\00:10:36.13
Now as we think
about the fact that
00:10:36.16\00:10:39.12
these are the sizes of viruses,
00:10:39.15\00:10:42.05
as compared to ordinary
bacteria that we're exposed
00:10:42.08\00:10:44.84
to all the time,
00:10:44.87\00:10:45.84
then we can see why it
is that the Bible calls this
00:10:45.85\00:10:48.81
the pestilence that is hidden,
00:10:48.84\00:10:52.65
we don't see it,
it walks at midnight.
00:10:52.68\00:10:55.73
And certainly these
are viruses and pestilences
00:10:55.76\00:10:59.89
that are in the
dark, we cannot see them.
00:10:59.92\00:11:03.54
So, we need to protect
ourselves from them even though
00:11:03.57\00:11:06.74
we can't see them.
00:11:06.77\00:11:07.74
And that means when we get
fruit from the grocery store,
00:11:07.75\00:11:10.58
we wash it first.
00:11:10.61\00:11:11.98
It's not taken to the
refrigerator and stored
00:11:12.01\00:11:15.20
in the refrigerator
with all of our other food.
00:11:15.23\00:11:18.23
We take it first to
the sink and wash it.
00:11:18.26\00:11:20.66
And if you think it
might be fairly contaminated,
00:11:20.69\00:11:24.40
was it with soap.
00:11:24.43\00:11:25.81
Sometimes some fruit has
been not handled by human
00:11:25.84\00:11:30.03
hands since it did
have a washing period.
00:11:30.06\00:11:32.17
And if so, you may only
have to wash off the grocer's
00:11:32.20\00:11:35.79
fingerprints...
00:11:35.82\00:11:37.46
As well as those who
come by to pick it up and
00:11:37.49\00:11:41.09
they wipe their nose and
they cough on their hands
00:11:41.12\00:11:45.17
or whatever they do and
then they touch the fruit...
00:11:45.20\00:11:48.54
and their viruses from their
illnesses are now on the fruit.
00:11:48.57\00:11:53.77
If you eat that unwashed,
then you are subject to
00:11:53.80\00:11:56.71
the kind of
illness that they had.
00:11:56.74\00:11:59.13
Now, we have a number of
treatments other than those
00:11:59.16\00:12:03.65
having to do with lemon juice.
00:12:03.68\00:12:06.55
And, Don Miller is going
to show you some of those.
00:12:06.58\00:12:10.11
Don Miller, it looks as if you
have quite a lot of things here.
00:12:10.14\00:12:13.67
And I think that we're
going to do hydrotherapy.
00:12:13.70\00:12:16.48
We're going to do
hydrotherapy and the reason why
00:12:16.51\00:12:18.47
I've got this one right here
00:12:18.50\00:12:20.14
is Melissa is busy right
now with her lemon juice,
00:12:20.17\00:12:22.90
so I have to use her
doll here to demonstrate
00:12:22.93\00:12:25.19
the particular treatment that
I'm going to be showing you.
00:12:25.22\00:12:27.15
I want to show you 2
different types of packs
00:12:27.18\00:12:31.11
we're going to call them.
00:12:31.14\00:12:32.11
One is what is
called a wet-sheet pack.
00:12:32.12\00:12:34.58
Now Dr. Thrash has showed you
the relative size of virus...
00:12:34.61\00:12:39.15
It's a very small
enemy but we can attack it
00:12:39.18\00:12:42.57
in a very large way
using something as simple as
00:12:42.60\00:12:45.24
hydrotherapy.
00:12:45.27\00:12:46.24
And I believe in
hydrotherapy very much.
00:12:46.25\00:12:48.61
What we want to do when
we do a wet sheet pack is
00:12:48.64\00:12:51.76
basically that's what we use
00:12:51.79\00:12:53.03
and I'm going to use, for
this case, just a wet towel.
00:12:53.06\00:12:55.87
This is going to be a dry towel.
00:12:55.90\00:12:56.87
This is what we call a "dry run"
00:12:56.88\00:12:58.38
where we take a towel, and
in the case of a large human,
00:12:58.41\00:13:02.87
a sheet, and put it in
cold water and wring it out.
00:13:02.90\00:13:06.82
And then we're
going to take the patient,
00:13:06.85\00:13:09.50
and what we
normally have them do...
00:13:09.53\00:13:11.69
see this one is frowning because
she is not too well today...
00:13:11.72\00:13:14.93
we'd have them raise their arms
00:13:14.96\00:13:16.93
but she doesn't raise
her arms very well but
00:13:16.96\00:13:18.70
the reason why we
want to do that...
00:13:18.73\00:13:20.12
is we take the
sheet and we take it...
00:13:20.15\00:13:25.02
...perhaps I could help you
here.. That would be a good idea
00:13:25.05\00:13:27.38
She's not very
cooperative today.
00:13:27.41\00:13:31.21
You want to have every
part of the body touching
00:13:31.24\00:13:34.55
the wet sheet.
00:13:34.58\00:13:35.55
And so what we do
is, we take the sheet
00:13:35.56\00:13:40.69
and we start over and
cross it over the body
00:13:40.72\00:13:46.45
and go underneath the arm
00:13:46.48\00:13:49.75
and then around this
leg over here because
00:13:49.78\00:13:53.35
it's got to be
completely surrounding the leg.
00:13:53.38\00:13:56.00
And the other part of the sheet
will go across the other way
00:13:56.03\00:13:59.49
this time getting this whole
arm... this part of the sheet
00:13:59.52\00:14:03.31
is underneath the arm...
00:14:03.34\00:14:04.49
this sheet is over the arm.
00:14:04.52\00:14:06.10
This one came from under the
arm and it goes over the arm.
00:14:06.13\00:14:10.50
And then the bottom
of it then tucks around
00:14:10.53\00:14:14.01
this other leg.
00:14:14.04\00:14:15.16
Basically, she is completely
covered now by a wet sheet.
00:14:15.19\00:14:19.53
And, what we can also do
is, we can use a hot foot bath
00:14:19.56\00:14:24.75
to accelerate the
treatment or the vigorousness of
00:14:24.78\00:14:28.11
this treatment.
00:14:28.14\00:14:29.11
We put her feet in hot water...
00:14:29.12\00:14:31.10
at the same time
we would want to take
00:14:31.13\00:14:33.17
a blanket or a towel
00:14:33.20\00:14:35.47
and drape her shoulders to
keep her from getting chilled.
00:14:35.50\00:14:38.51
You do not want a
person receiving this treatment
00:14:38.54\00:14:41.38
to become chilled.
00:14:41.41\00:14:42.38
So I would drape the shoulders
00:14:42.39\00:14:43.69
and then I would
wrap the entire body
00:14:43.72\00:14:46.49
in another blanket or a towel
00:14:46.52\00:14:48.54
as the case might be.
00:14:48.57\00:14:50.31
For a child, you
can use a large towel.
00:14:50.34\00:14:52.80
But now the child
is being wrapped up...
00:14:52.83\00:14:55.06
now what's happening inside here
00:14:55.09\00:14:57.24
is you first put
down this wet, cold sheet
00:14:57.27\00:15:01.18
Well, that's going to
cause an immediate reaction of a
00:15:01.21\00:15:03.64
vasoconstriction.
00:15:03.67\00:15:04.91
But the body is jealous
for warmth and for healing
00:15:04.94\00:15:08.92
and so it starts
sending blood to the area
00:15:08.95\00:15:11.77
to increase the
warmth of the area.
00:15:11.80\00:15:14.48
Now as that temperature goes up,
00:15:14.51\00:15:16.89
which now this is an entire
body the temperature is going up
00:15:16.92\00:15:20.67
When the temperature goes up,
we are rallying and increasing
00:15:20.70\00:15:24.50
our white blood cells.
00:15:24.53\00:15:25.63
We're saying, "White blood cells
it's time to get to work. "
00:15:25.66\00:15:29.17
And so now, our spleen
and our bone marrow starts
00:15:29.20\00:15:35.06
producing white blood
cells, I'm trying to say.
00:15:35.09\00:15:37.12
And we have far more white
blood cells in the bloodstream
00:15:37.15\00:15:40.17
out there fighting
these little viruses
00:15:40.20\00:15:42.30
to try to bring
down the disease process.
00:15:42.33\00:15:44.69
And this treatment...
00:15:44.72\00:15:46.45
now the first maybe 10
minutes of the treatment,
00:15:46.48\00:15:49.66
is a stimulant treatment.
00:15:49.69\00:15:54.03
It will really get a person
roused up because it's cold.
00:15:54.06\00:15:56.65
But then it becomes, as
it starts to heat up, about
00:15:56.68\00:15:58.96
body temperature,
a sedative treatment.
00:15:58.99\00:16:01.65
But as it goes on
beyond that, it becomes a
00:16:01.68\00:16:04.57
pyrotechnic treatment,
if I can use the term.
00:16:04.60\00:16:06.95
It heats the person up
and gives the person a fever.
00:16:06.98\00:16:09.95
And a fever is
what we call a friend.
00:16:09.98\00:16:13.02
It's not an enemy that
we have to throw aspirin at.
00:16:13.05\00:16:15.57
A fever is a friend.
00:16:15.60\00:16:17.08
And as a person's
temperature goes up,
00:16:17.11\00:16:19.33
as I've already mentioned,
white blood cells increase
00:16:19.36\00:16:22.24
and healing takes place.
00:16:22.27\00:16:23.88
And before long, instead of
having a sickly and sorrowful
00:16:23.91\00:16:29.72
patient, you have
a happy patient...
00:16:29.75\00:16:32.67
because now they're feeling
so much better for the treatment
00:16:32.70\00:16:35.14
Now there's
another thing you can do
00:16:35.17\00:16:36.90
in this type of a treatment.
00:16:36.93\00:16:38.47
Rather than using the wet sheet,
00:16:38.50\00:16:40.64
you can do what's
called a blanket pack.
00:16:40.67\00:16:42.82
And what I'm going to
do with this particular
00:16:42.85\00:16:44.79
treatment is lay
my patient down...
00:16:44.82\00:16:49.42
First I would prepare the bed
00:16:49.45\00:16:51.00
and always prepare the
bed before treatment begins
00:16:51.03\00:16:54.54
I'd put a blanket down longways
00:16:54.57\00:16:58.55
and a second
blanket longways on the bed
00:16:58.58\00:17:01.69
And then I would lay
the patient down in bed
00:17:01.72\00:17:07.77
and I would cover the
patient with these blankets.
00:17:07.80\00:17:12.70
Now at the same time,
00:17:12.73\00:17:14.67
you can be adding what
we call a "fomentation. "
00:17:14.70\00:17:17.79
And you can do a
fomentation quite simply a home.
00:17:17.82\00:17:20.48
Just take a towel
00:17:20.51\00:17:22.08
and what I would do is
I would put it in fourths,
00:17:22.11\00:17:25.86
dip it in hot water,
00:17:25.89\00:17:27.88
wring it out,
00:17:27.91\00:17:29.31
and then lay it over
the first layer of the towel
00:17:29.34\00:17:33.65
over the blanket that's
over the part of the person.
00:17:33.68\00:17:35.92
You want to have these things
all the way up and down the legs
00:17:35.95\00:17:38.20
This sometimes takes
for a full grown adult
00:17:38.23\00:17:40.39
12 different
towels or fomentations
00:17:40.42\00:17:43.11
to give this heating effect.
00:17:43.14\00:17:45.27
And you don't want to
put it right against the skin
00:17:45.30\00:17:47.65
because it should be
as hot as you can make it.
00:17:47.68\00:17:49.99
So you put it against both
legs, the abdomen, the chest
00:17:50.02\00:17:53.86
and the arms,
00:17:53.89\00:17:54.95
and then you wrap
them up in these blankets.
00:17:54.98\00:17:56.97
Wrap them up like a mummy.
00:17:57.00\00:17:59.03
Wrap them up like a papoose.
00:17:59.06\00:18:00.57
Wrap them up like
a dog in a blanket.
00:18:00.60\00:18:02.62
Or pig in a blanket...
00:18:02.65\00:18:03.65
whatever you
want to call them...
00:18:03.68\00:18:04.88
and you put them there
and this is going to start
00:18:04.91\00:18:07.42
causing the
temperature to rise in the body.
00:18:07.45\00:18:09.92
Again, white blood
cells are increased...
00:18:09.95\00:18:12.56
they become more voracious
00:18:12.59\00:18:14.09
they're a lot faster
00:18:14.12\00:18:15.18
and they're much more active
00:18:15.21\00:18:16.18
And this is what we
need to fight our viruses.
00:18:16.21\00:18:19.62
You know, many times we go
to the pharmacy or something
00:18:19.65\00:18:25.36
and get some
type of antibiotics...
00:18:25.39\00:18:26.75
Antibiotics do not
work against viruses.
00:18:26.78\00:18:29.27
But God's
methods of hydrotherapy
00:18:29.30\00:18:31.87
do work quite nicely.
00:18:31.90\00:18:33.13
So, this is a simple treatment,
00:18:33.16\00:18:34.80
I've used it before on
myself and used it on others
00:18:34.83\00:18:38.00
and we get some quite
nice effects out of these
00:18:38.03\00:18:41.26
simple treatments, Dr. Thrash.
00:18:41.29\00:18:42.62
Yes, and we have patients
who have smiley faces and not
00:18:42.65\00:18:46.44
frowny faces.
00:18:46.47\00:18:49.82
Herpes is a member
of the virus family
00:18:49.85\00:18:52.56
and it itself is a large family.
00:18:52.59\00:18:55.61
The virus that causes chickenpox
00:18:55.64\00:18:58.51
and shingles is a
member of that family.
00:18:58.54\00:19:00.93
But also the virus
that causes fever blisters
00:19:00.96\00:19:04.44
and genital herpes is
also a member of that family.
00:19:04.47\00:19:08.32
There are many others... several
other members of that family
00:19:08.35\00:19:11.65
it's a fairly large family.
00:19:11.68\00:19:13.07
Now, when a person
gets the herpes virus,
00:19:13.10\00:19:17.15
is there
something that can be done?
00:19:17.18\00:19:20.63
One way that a
person gets herpes infection
00:19:20.66\00:19:25.04
is herpangina.
00:19:25.07\00:19:28.60
It may start as a
herpes infection, or it may be
00:19:28.63\00:19:31.82
a pain in the mouth that
feels like a herpes infection.
00:19:31.85\00:19:38.44
The symptoms of
herpangina which sounds like
00:19:38.47\00:19:44.45
a viral infection...
00:19:44.48\00:19:45.62
The treatment for
it is hot mouth washes
00:19:45.65\00:19:49.22
and simple diet
and sunshine exposure,
00:19:49.25\00:19:55.12
and keeping the mouth
rinsed, as well as heat-treated.
00:19:55.15\00:20:00.76
And since it occurs in children,
sometimes the mother has to
00:20:00.79\00:20:05.15
irrigate the mouth, instead
of asking the cooperation
00:20:05.18\00:20:08.63
of the child.
00:20:08.66\00:20:09.63
The child will get
swollen gums, bleeding gums,
00:20:09.66\00:20:13.84
and the teeth may become almost
covered by the swollen gums.
00:20:13.87\00:20:19.48
And then, after
the treatment is done,
00:20:19.51\00:20:22.84
the gums are just as
sound as they ever were.
00:20:22.87\00:20:26.09
Now, a fever is a
true herpes infection.
00:20:26.12\00:20:29.95
And it is associated with
the deposition of the virus
00:20:29.98\00:20:35.99
in the tissues of the lip...
00:20:36.02\00:20:38.64
so wherever it
strikes the person,
00:20:38.67\00:20:42.34
it generally lives there.
00:20:42.37\00:20:44.01
And it may live
there for decades...
00:20:44.04\00:20:46.56
Unless for some reason, the
person is able to throw it off.
00:20:46.59\00:20:50.11
One way that you can treat fever
blisters is with cayenne pepper.
00:20:50.14\00:20:55.24
Just mix up some
cayenne with alcohol
00:20:55.27\00:20:58.29
and dab it on the area where
you have the fever blister.
00:20:58.32\00:21:02.62
You can expect that it will burn
intensely for about 15 minutes.
00:21:02.65\00:21:07.29
But then, if you're successful,
00:21:07.32\00:21:09.64
it will be very helpful
in getting rid of that herpes
00:21:09.67\00:21:14.15
infection on the lips.
00:21:14.18\00:21:17.65
L- lysine can also be used
to treat a viral infection,
00:21:17.68\00:21:22.77
and hot baths can also be
used to treat a viral infection.
00:21:22.80\00:21:27.00
So as we learn these various
treatments for an infection,
00:21:27.03\00:21:33.26
we can be armed against them.
00:21:33.29\00:21:36.08
Now, the next thing that I
would like to present to you
00:21:36.11\00:21:39.63
is that of heating compresses.
00:21:39.66\00:21:41.28
And John Champen is
going to talk with you about
00:21:41.31\00:21:45.07
heating compresses.
00:21:45.10\00:21:46.12
And the heating compresses
can be applied in many areas.
00:21:46.15\00:21:50.87
And, here you
come with a number...
00:21:50.90\00:21:53.64
So, I'd like to see
how you put these on.
00:21:53.67\00:21:56.60
Thank you.
00:21:56.63\00:21:58.70
Heating compresses, you might
think that we put on something
00:21:58.73\00:22:02.52
hot but we don't.
00:22:02.55\00:22:04.04
We put on something that's cold.
00:22:04.07\00:22:05.81
Melissa is going
to be my subject.
00:22:05.84\00:22:07.56
We're going to take this
cloth and put it in cold water
00:22:07.59\00:22:13.13
or ice water.
00:22:13.16\00:22:14.13
It is wrung out where
it's not completely dry,
00:22:14.14\00:22:18.17
but it is fairly dry.
00:22:18.20\00:22:22.06
This goes on... this is
going to be for her neck.
00:22:22.09\00:22:25.83
All right, what this does is,
00:22:34.30\00:22:35.27
of course, it causes
00:22:35.29\00:22:36.26
the blood
vessels to constrict...
00:22:36.29\00:22:37.26
and...
00:22:39.80\00:22:40.80
while they're constricting,
00:22:46.93\00:22:48.55
the body is saying,
"Well, we can't have that,
00:22:48.58\00:22:52.70
we've got to
heat this place up. "
00:22:52.73\00:22:54.95
And so what it does,
00:22:54.98\00:22:57.13
it begins to heat up this area
00:22:57.16\00:23:03.95
Now, first cloth goes
on... it's dipped in ice water
00:23:03.98\00:23:08.33
or cold water and then it's
wrung out and placed on the neck
00:23:08.36\00:23:13.26
Then it's
covered with the plastic.
00:23:13.29\00:23:15.13
The plastic should
cover the entire area.
00:23:15.16\00:23:18.90
And then above that,
I'm going to use a sock
00:23:18.93\00:23:24.22
which is something
that you have in your home
00:23:24.25\00:23:28.71
All right... and that will
cover the heating compress.
00:23:28.74\00:23:35.99
Now this can be
slept in very comfortably
00:23:36.02\00:23:39.17
for a person that
has a sore throat...
00:23:39.20\00:23:43.25
and it is pinned.
00:23:43.28\00:23:49.85
This is a heating compress.
00:23:49.88\00:23:51.37
The body will
begin to heat this up
00:23:51.40\00:23:54.76
and as it heats it up,
00:23:54.79\00:23:57.47
there's more
blood drawn to the area
00:23:57.50\00:23:59.38
and the sore throat that
she has, will begin to go away.
00:23:59.41\00:24:03.36
It's not uncommon
that in the morning
00:24:03.39\00:24:05.47
when she takes this off,
00:24:05.50\00:24:06.58
and then takes a little mitten
00:24:06.61\00:24:14.78
in the morning, it
should be very warm
00:24:14.81\00:24:17.37
and then rub the
area very briskly
00:24:17.40\00:24:20.74
and then dry it off so
that the pores can be closed.
00:24:20.77\00:24:24.08
This simple
procedure is very effective.
00:24:24.11\00:24:26.97
Thank you, Melissa.
00:24:27.00\00:24:29.16
Now, if the person has a cold,
00:24:29.19\00:24:31.75
and they like to
work with their feet,
00:24:31.78\00:24:37.76
they may have cold feet...
00:24:37.79\00:24:39.42
the same thing can be done.
00:24:39.45\00:24:41.18
You can take a
very thin, cotton sock,
00:24:41.21\00:24:43.53
and do exactly the same thing
that you did for the throat,
00:24:43.56\00:24:46.84
you can do it for the foot.
00:24:46.87\00:24:48.19
You would take
this, dip it in ice water,
00:24:48.22\00:24:50.87
wring it out,
place it over the foot...
00:24:50.90\00:24:54.43
When you do the feet though,
you'd like to do both of them.
00:24:54.46\00:24:57.02
One on each foot...
00:24:57.05\00:24:58.71
then you would
take a plastic bag
00:24:58.74\00:25:02.13
and put the foot
into the plastic bag,
00:25:02.16\00:25:04.89
cover it completely,
00:25:04.92\00:25:07.15
and then put a
heavy sock over that...
00:25:07.18\00:25:10.19
So you wind up with 3 layers...
00:25:10.22\00:25:12.88
the cold wet one,
00:25:12.91\00:25:15.13
the plastic
00:25:15.16\00:25:17.94
which the foot goes in
00:25:17.97\00:25:19.52
and then that goes inside here.
00:25:19.55\00:25:23.69
And again, you have
exactly the same thing
00:25:23.72\00:25:26.17
that you had for the throat.
00:25:26.20\00:25:27.92
The feet would warm
up during the night...
00:25:27.95\00:25:29.63
they would feel chilly initially
00:25:29.66\00:25:31.07
but then they'd warm up
00:25:31.10\00:25:32.12
and the person would
feel very well in the morning.
00:25:32.15\00:25:36.23
Now, you might have
congestion in your chest,
00:25:36.26\00:25:39.01
in this area...
00:25:39.04\00:25:40.34
you could use a band if
it was for the abdomen area;
00:25:40.37\00:25:44.79
if you had... like constipation,
you could do the same thing.
00:25:44.82\00:25:49.19
You could use a band and you
would do exactly the same thing.
00:25:49.22\00:25:52.67
Now if you had
your entire trunk...
00:25:52.70\00:25:55.29
...you had
congestion in your chest,
00:25:55.32\00:25:57.16
you would take a
shirt without sleeves
00:25:57.19\00:26:00.97
and exactly the same
procedure would be made.
00:26:01.00\00:26:04.09
You would put it in
cold water, wring it out
00:26:04.12\00:26:06.85
and place it on.
00:26:06.88\00:26:08.70
It would feel very chilly...
00:26:08.73\00:26:10.30
then over the top of
that, you would take a...
00:26:10.33\00:26:12.46
this is a garbage bag...
00:26:12.49\00:26:15.23
and a hole is
cut out for the head
00:26:15.26\00:26:16.93
A hole is cut
out also for each arm
00:26:16.96\00:26:21.34
and slip it over the
person or for yourself,
00:26:21.37\00:26:24.80
then over the top of that,
00:26:24.83\00:26:27.54
you can place a sweatshirt.
00:26:27.57\00:26:32.75
So the same procedure can
be used for many different
00:26:32.78\00:26:35.90
parts of the body.
00:26:35.93\00:26:38.57
This could be worn
during the daytime.
00:26:38.60\00:26:40.67
I've known folks who
have placed this on themselves
00:26:40.70\00:26:43.35
and worn them during the day,
00:26:43.38\00:26:45.16
or the collar
during the day also.
00:26:45.19\00:26:48.93
So, this is one way that
we can deal with some of the
00:26:48.96\00:26:52.35
health problems that,
00:26:52.38\00:26:53.67
with the material that
you have in your own home,
00:26:53.70\00:26:55.63
it's very
inexpensive and very effective.
00:26:55.66\00:27:00.48
You know, as I was
thinking about your doing this,
00:27:00.51\00:27:03.62
I thought of many cases
where I have recommended
00:27:03.65\00:27:06.83
this kind of treatment
00:27:06.86\00:27:07.83
and the person has said,
00:27:07.84\00:27:09.47
"My affliction is too
severe for that simple treatment
00:27:09.50\00:27:13.23
to be helpful for me. "
00:27:13.26\00:27:14.23
And they simply refuse it.
00:27:14.25\00:27:15.76
And I think about what
happened in the Bible...
00:27:15.79\00:27:18.87
when THE remedy for the
bite of those serpents was
00:27:18.90\00:27:23.33
given to the people...
00:27:23.36\00:27:26.35
The brass serpent was
raised up on the pole,
00:27:26.38\00:27:30.17
and the only thing that
the sick Israelite had to do
00:27:30.20\00:27:34.64
was to look up on that pole
00:27:34.67\00:27:37.74
and see that brass serpent
00:27:37.77\00:27:39.96
and they would be healed
00:27:39.99\00:27:43.08
but many of them refused
to do it and died of their
00:27:43.11\00:27:46.70
affliction.
00:27:46.73\00:27:47.70
Don't sell these
simple remedies short.
00:27:47.71\00:27:50.15
They are very effective,
00:27:50.18\00:27:51.94
and I would like to encourage
you to learn how to do them.
00:27:51.97\00:27:54.66
You will enjoy them.
00:27:54.69\00:27:55.66
