Hello! I love to treat
people with problems with the
00:00:01.98\00:00:06.37
respiratory tree, there are
so many things that you can do.
00:00:06.40\00:00:10.08
Many of these are applicable
to a home setting and we'll be
00:00:10.11\00:00:14.70
showing you whom of
these in this program,
00:00:14.73\00:00:16.75
we hope you will join us and
that you will enjoy our program.
00:00:16.78\00:00:19.81
Welcome to Help
Yourself To Health
00:00:39.69\00:00:42.25
with Dr. Agatha Thrash
of Uchee Pines Institute
00:00:42.28\00:00:45.57
and now here is
your host Dr. Thrash.
00:00:45.60\00:00:48.60
Every well equipped home
has those items in it that are
00:00:48.63\00:00:57.30
required for doing simple
treatments on the human body.
00:00:57.33\00:01:01.95
Such things as tubs, and
towels, and salt, and water,
00:01:01.98\00:01:07.27
those things are what we need,
there are some special things
00:01:07.30\00:01:12.21
but for the most part every
well equipped home will have
00:01:12.24\00:01:15.60
anything that will be needed.
00:01:15.63\00:01:18.10
As a matter of fact you have
probably been for all of your
00:01:18.13\00:01:21.59
life treating yourself
for colds and sore throats
00:01:21.62\00:01:25.25
and tummy aches and the
like and maybe we can help you
00:01:25.28\00:01:29.51
to know a few other things
that we will show and tell
00:01:29.54\00:01:33.79
that can make your disease
a little shorter, and make the
00:01:33.82\00:01:37.87
complications that you get
from respiratory problems less.
00:01:37.90\00:01:41.59
So I would like to invite
you to come with me to my little
00:01:41.62\00:01:47.40
laboratory which has in it just
simple things from the kitchen.
00:01:47.43\00:01:53.05
Notice this first thing, this
is just onion, onion is a common
00:01:53.08\00:02:02.99
household kitchen herb if
you will, we use it as a food
00:02:03.02\00:02:09.12
but it's also an herb.
00:02:09.15\00:02:10.61
The definition of an herb
is any food or plant that has a
00:02:10.64\00:02:15.73
healing benefit, an onion has
so many, it has Quercitin in it,
00:02:15.76\00:02:20.30
which is so good for us,
it's an anti-inflammatory
00:02:20.33\00:02:24.26
substance, it has anti- cancer
properties, it has anti-germ
00:02:24.29\00:02:31.63
attachment properties, so it
has a number of good properties
00:02:31.66\00:02:36.10
that make it a
good healing agency.
00:02:36.13\00:02:37.69
Now another healing agency
is honey, and here is some honey
00:02:37.72\00:02:43.79
that I have, this honey
is about a cup here of honey
00:02:43.82\00:02:50.33
and this honey came from the
honey comb directly so it still
00:02:50.36\00:02:55.27
has a little honey comb on
it, but we don't mind that,
00:02:55.30\00:03:00.08
we can eat that as well,
the honey comb is a very good
00:03:00.11\00:03:04.73
anti-microbial substance
for us, it also has some
00:03:04.76\00:03:09.86
anti-allergy properties for us.
00:03:09.89\00:03:13.18
Now the onion and honey recipe
that I am going to show you is
00:03:13.21\00:03:17.81
so simple you will think
it probably does not work
00:03:17.84\00:03:21.45
but I can tell you that it
does, and so what we have to do
00:03:21.48\00:03:24.74
is to put the honey on the
onion, and it is simply layered
00:03:24.77\00:03:30.62
on in this fashion, notice
how thick the honey is as I
00:03:30.65\00:03:35.08
put it on, and I just
layer the honey on in this way
00:03:35.11\00:03:39.21
and it is just enough to cover
it well, and it looks like I'll
00:03:39.24\00:03:48.20
need a spoon here to cut
this off and make it so that it
00:03:48.23\00:03:53.01
will be not quite so messy.
00:03:53.04\00:03:54.79
Then I can stir it, or I
can just leave it as it is
00:03:54.82\00:04:01.29
because it's going to become
liquid, you might think is that
00:04:01.32\00:04:04.95
going to become liquid,
yes it does, within a few hours
00:04:04.98\00:04:09.87
this honey will have drawn
all of the healing properties
00:04:09.90\00:04:14.95
or many of them, from the
onion and then the onion honey
00:04:14.98\00:04:22.04
is taken as a
very nice cough syrup.
00:04:22.08\00:04:26.50
Now the way to use it is
every time you cough just take a
00:04:26.53\00:04:31.64
teaspoonful of the liquid,
now you have to take my word
00:04:31.67\00:04:35.56
for it right now, that
it is going to become liquid
00:04:35.59\00:04:38.71
then you pour off the liquid
and squeeze the limp onion
00:04:38.74\00:04:44.42
to get the rest of the liquid
from it and then you are ready
00:04:44.45\00:04:48.94
then to take the cough syrup,
one little item at a time.
00:04:48.97\00:04:55.63
Now I have asked
Arianna Hartsfield to be my
00:04:55.66\00:04:59.43
cooking assistant here, and
so Arianna can now help me to...
00:04:59.46\00:05:04.72
If you will just help me to
keep these things going so that
00:05:04.75\00:05:08.77
I can show another recipe,
now this one is another very
00:05:08.80\00:05:14.56
simple thing, for it you
need a very simple teaspoon,
00:05:14.59\00:05:19.92
every well equipped home has
a teaspoon, and you need some
00:05:19.95\00:05:23.66
salt, and again it's
located all the time in homes.
00:05:23.69\00:05:28.11
So one teaspoon, one level
teaspoon of salt in a pint jar
00:05:28.14\00:05:36.86
is the best, just a pint
jar and then fill the jar with
00:05:36.89\00:05:42.69
water, just plain water
from the tap or purified water
00:05:42.72\00:05:48.13
if you prefer.
00:05:48.16\00:05:49.41
This will probably be used
for an irrigation substance for
00:05:49.44\00:05:53.25
the nose or for the throat
if you have an inflamed throat.
00:05:53.28\00:05:59.03
So this can be simply stirred
in this way to dissolve the salt
00:05:59.06\00:06:04.18
and then everything in fine.
00:06:04.21\00:06:07.13
It is ready then for you to
use as an irrigation substance.
00:06:07.16\00:06:14.36
Now what I do when I have
made it up is to simply set this
00:06:14.39\00:06:22.27
aside, it doesn't need to
be refrigerated because it has
00:06:22.30\00:06:25.99
some anti-germ qualities of
it's own, so I just set it aside
00:06:26.02\00:06:31.95
let it stay at room temperature,
then it's ready to use or almost
00:06:31.98\00:06:38.67
ready to use, you may want
to warm it up if you are doing a
00:06:38.71\00:06:41.64
nasal irrigation.
00:06:41.67\00:06:42.70
And now you can take this and
this for me, thank you so much!
00:06:42.73\00:06:50.70
I will just keep this on hand
in case I should need it for an
00:06:50.73\00:06:55.66
irrigation material,
so we will set that aside.
00:06:55.69\00:06:59.27
Now irrigations are not
used as much as they should be,
00:06:59.30\00:07:03.95
irrigations are so beneficial
let's say to the nose, if you
00:07:03.98\00:07:09.50
have an allergy, a nasal
irrigation just with this saline
00:07:09.53\00:07:13.81
and using a small bulb syringe
or simply pouring a teaspoonful
00:07:13.84\00:07:19.43
in the palm of your hand
and snuffing it up into the nose
00:07:19.46\00:07:23.10
this way and then
allowing it to drop into a sink.
00:07:23.13\00:07:27.69
That will remove impurities
from the air to which you may
00:07:27.72\00:07:32.04
be allergic causing your
allergy or your hay fever,
00:07:32.07\00:07:36.00
and it's most beneficial
for this kind of thing,
00:07:36.03\00:07:39.83
so I recommend that to you.
00:07:39.86\00:07:42.13
If your beginning to
get a cold sometimes again
00:07:42.16\00:07:45.72
an irrigation with warm saline,
very warm, as warm as your nose
00:07:45.75\00:07:51.25
can tolerate it
nicely, can be very helpful.
00:07:51.28\00:07:54.82
Now Dr. Donald Miller has
had a good bit of experience
00:07:54.85\00:07:59.81
in various parts of the world
where he travels and lectures,
00:07:59.84\00:08:03.73
welcome Dr. Miller
to our program today.
00:08:03.76\00:08:06.51
- Thank you! - I
would like you to tell us
00:08:06.54\00:08:08.44
about some of the irrigations
that I know you have done
00:08:08.47\00:08:12.13
I have heard some of your
case history's about irrigating
00:08:12.16\00:08:14.92
wounds and sores and feet
and ears and noses, what are you
00:08:14.95\00:08:20.08
going to talk
with us about today?
00:08:20.11\00:08:21.86
- You know one of the challenges
when you get into other
00:08:21.89\00:08:24.25
countries, especially
third world countries is finding
00:08:24.28\00:08:27.55
ways to irrigate, you
don't have running water,
00:08:27.58\00:08:29.48
you don't have hoses
and so what do you do?
00:08:29.51\00:08:31.73
I was in India one time and
there was a man that they said
00:08:31.76\00:08:35.59
you need to see this
man he hurt his foot,
00:08:35.62\00:08:37.44
so I went to see the man
and he had the most horrible
00:08:37.47\00:08:40.88
looking foot, it looked
like hamburger on the bottom,
00:08:40.92\00:08:43.26
it was full of some
black particulate matter,
00:08:43.29\00:08:45.72
I saw him at night under an
oil lamp, I figured how am I
00:08:45.75\00:08:48.64
going to clean this
thing, there is no running water
00:08:48.67\00:08:51.53
no way you can sit there and
squirt this out, and so what I
00:08:51.56\00:08:54.92
did is I took a water
bottle, just a simple plastic
00:08:54.95\00:08:57.85
water bottle which you carry
and I had a little percussion
00:08:57.88\00:09:01.50
hammer that had a needle
in the end, a little nail,
00:09:01.53\00:09:03.76
and I took it out and put a
hole in the lid of my bottle
00:09:03.79\00:09:06.88
then I just turned it up and
squeezed the bottle and got a
00:09:06.91\00:09:09.91
good strong jet of water that
very nicely irrigated that foot.
00:09:09.94\00:09:14.45
I could keep filling it back
up with water and irrigating
00:09:14.48\00:09:17.53
the foot and then I was able
to see what I was working with
00:09:17.56\00:09:20.11
took a little surgical
scrub brush and scrubbed a
00:09:20.14\00:09:22.87
a little bit more,
cleaned it very nicely.
00:09:22.90\00:09:25.01
- My how innovative that
is, necessity is certainly the
00:09:25.04\00:09:30.01
mother of invention I can see.
00:09:30.04\00:09:31.80
- What else are you going
to do I couldn't pick it off
00:09:31.83\00:09:34.40
and use my toothbrush, you
had to find some way to irrigate
00:09:34.43\00:09:37.79
the wound and it is so
important, as you know you've
00:09:37.82\00:09:40.40
been in surgical fields where
you've got to irrigate a wound
00:09:40.43\00:09:44.28
and what do you do when
you don't have all the modern
00:09:44.31\00:09:47.17
technologies.
00:09:47.20\00:09:48.17
We had one man with us on the
team who was a medical doctor
00:09:48.18\00:09:52.97
and, I remember one day at
lunch he said I'll never do this
00:09:53.00\00:09:56.27
again, I will never come on a
mission trip as a doctor again
00:09:56.30\00:09:58.82
because I can't do anything
and if you are held to the small
00:09:58.85\00:10:03.74
box of comfort, your comfort
zone of what you learned in
00:10:03.77\00:10:07.57
all the fancy dan things
that if you haven't learned that
00:10:07.60\00:10:10.12
what am I going to do.
00:10:10.15\00:10:11.94
I remember in the Marine
Corp we had what was called a
00:10:11.97\00:10:13.79
speed march reaction
course where you were put in the
00:10:13.82\00:10:18.21
situations where you had maybe
five Marines and they would say
00:10:18.24\00:10:21.33
ok, this is going to
happen you've got to do this and
00:10:21.36\00:10:24.60
get over here in a certain
amount of time and you had to
00:10:24.63\00:10:27.17
think very quickly and so
using things like water bottles
00:10:27.20\00:10:30.92
comes in very handy.
00:10:30.95\00:10:32.13
- And I can see that learning
to think quickly because
00:10:32.16\00:10:36.39
there you are with an
oil lamp and a patient and
00:10:36.42\00:10:38.66
you need to go
home and get some sleep.
00:10:38.69\00:10:41.57
- Plus there are a hundred more
people that wants to talk to you
00:10:41.60\00:10:44.62
also, it's tough.
00:10:44.65\00:10:46.68
The bulb syringe, Dr. Thrash
has mentioned using this as a
00:10:46.71\00:10:50.35
nasal irrigator, I like to take
a piece of cloth or here I've
00:10:50.38\00:10:54.37
got a Kleenex wrapped around
it so it can close off one
00:10:54.40\00:10:58.88
nostril, and then insert that
into the nostril this keeps the
00:10:58.91\00:11:02.13
water from coming back out
and then slowly squeeze and
00:11:02.16\00:11:05.83
will bring the water through
the sinus passages, usually out
00:11:05.86\00:11:09.22
the other side or out the
mouth and the more you do this
00:11:09.25\00:11:12.33
especially the warmer the
better and it has to be saline.
00:11:12.36\00:11:15.92
The first time I learned
about this I sat there in class
00:11:15.96\00:11:19.30
and I said oh that's a good
idea, when I tried it on myself
00:11:19.58\00:11:22.32
I forgot that one word,
"Saline," I took warm water.
00:11:22.35\00:11:27.35
- So it burned a little!
- Oh! It was excruciating!
00:11:27.38\00:11:30.46
I thought it must be doing
good because it hurts awfully
00:11:30.49\00:11:33.42
bad, you know the old mind
set, if it hurts it must be
00:11:33.45\00:11:35.85
good, that's not the case here.
00:11:36.27\00:11:38.28
- The worse it hurts
the better it is for you.
00:11:38.31\00:11:40.02
- That's what you sometimes
think but it hurt me bad.
00:11:40.05\00:11:43.06
- And it doesn't have
to you just use the saline.
00:11:43.09\00:11:46.26
- Just use the saline!
- Just keep it on hand,
00:11:46.29\00:11:49.72
or keep the salt and the water
on hand and then you can warm
00:11:49.75\00:11:52.91
it up some if you
want to. - No problem!
00:11:52.95\00:11:54.88
- That's nice! - Many
of you have probably gone
00:11:54.91\00:11:57.88
swimming in the ocean and
especially when they've got
00:11:57.91\00:12:00.40
waves and all of a sudden that
wave hits you just right and
00:12:00.43\00:12:02.59
your top over end and
you are rolling around,
00:12:02.62\00:12:05.13
you are finally up on
shore and you are sputtering and
00:12:05.16\00:12:07.23
muttering and you have
cleaned out your nasal passages
00:12:07.26\00:12:10.61
very well, it's on you
lip, it's on your chin,
00:12:10.64\00:12:12.45
it's on the floor, but
you "sniff" that was fun,
00:12:12.49\00:12:15.75
that felt really good.
00:12:15.78\00:12:16.93
This is the same thing although
the ocean wasn't quite as warm
00:12:17.00\00:12:20.41
as our saline is going to
be, warm saline, clean it out
00:12:20.44\00:12:24.21
it does a very nice
job, Dr. Thrash has mentioned
00:12:24.24\00:12:26.50
using the palm of your
hand, I've used a spoon before.
00:12:26.53\00:12:30.29
One of the nicest ways if
you have the modern equipment
00:12:30.32\00:12:33.82
if you have a waterpik
which has a nasal applicator
00:12:33.85\00:12:38.04
it's just a little L-shaped
thing or almost an L with a
00:12:38.07\00:12:41.82
big bulb on the end, you
put that in your nose turn the
00:12:41.85\00:12:44.65
thing on low, push the button
and it just slowly pumps it up
00:12:44.68\00:12:49.94
and it will come out by itself.
00:12:49.97\00:12:51.16
You do this over a sink, or
you'll make a mess otherwise
00:12:51.19\00:12:54.77
it just goes down the sink,
some will go back up your throat
00:12:54.80\00:12:57.99
you could either spit it up
or swallow it if you don't mind
00:12:58.02\00:13:01.97
a little bit of salt water,
it's not going to hurt you
00:13:02.00\00:13:03.94
unless you have
really high blood pressure,
00:13:03.97\00:13:05.45
so these are some nice
things that you can do.
00:13:05.48\00:13:08.17
- I can just hear a young
person say "Oh gross," I suppose
00:13:08.20\00:13:11.74
it is gross. - When
I took this course at
00:13:11.77\00:13:15.74
Uchee Pines the
Lifestyle Counselor Course
00:13:15.77\00:13:17.77
which is an excellent course
00:13:17.80\00:13:19.02
and believe me we've had
doctors take this course,
00:13:19.06\00:13:23.02
we've had grandmothers
take this course, we've had
00:13:23.05\00:13:25.18
high school students take
this course, it's an excellent
00:13:25.21\00:13:27.68
course, but I remember we
had the class and that person
00:13:27.71\00:13:32.43
said... the
instructor said who wants
00:13:32.46\00:13:34.06
to be the demonstratee and
a young woman, a French girl,
00:13:34.09\00:13:38.99
Isabelle who is a concert
harpist, very proper person
00:13:39.02\00:13:48.14
and very dignified person says
I'll do it, and so if Isabelle
00:13:48.17\00:13:54.11
can do it anyone can do it.
00:13:54.14\00:13:56.16
- And it's actually not so
gross, especially if you are
00:13:56.19\00:13:59.21
in the privacy of your own
bathroom, you are doing it right
00:13:59.24\00:14:02.19
by yourself. - The
though of it like...
00:14:02.22\00:14:04.86
I guarantee you, if you put
this spoon of water under your
00:14:04.89\00:14:09.31
nose and breathe it up, I
promise you, you will not drown.
00:14:09.34\00:14:12.47
People worried they are
going to drown or do something
00:14:12.50\00:14:14.77
strange, but if you are
tired of having a stuffy feeling
00:14:15.40\00:14:18.63
all the time, try cleaning out
your sinus passages with some
00:14:18.66\00:14:21.57
saline and it
works extremely well.
00:14:21.60\00:14:23.45
- Yes! It is a very good one!
00:14:23.48\00:14:25.29
Now you mentioned
the sinuses. - Yes!
00:14:25.32\00:14:28.54
- How are you going to
treat the sinuses, they can't be
00:14:28.57\00:14:31.48
irrigated nicely, you irrigate
past them but is there something
00:14:31.51\00:14:35.92
that you can do for the sinuses?
00:14:35.95\00:14:38.08
- We do a sinus pack and
along with the sinus pack,
00:14:38.11\00:14:43.32
I can show you another way
to do a nasal irrigation by
00:14:43.35\00:14:47.53
someone being prone, which is
something I learned not long ago
00:14:47.56\00:14:51.41
when I was teaching up at
Andrew's University, which is
00:14:51.44\00:14:53.64
an extremely
interesting way of doing it.
00:14:53.67\00:14:56.00
- Good! I'm looking
forward to seeing this new one,
00:14:56.03\00:14:59.95
I don't think I
have seen it have I?
00:14:59.98\00:15:01.47
- You haven't seen it and
it will be a 3ABN debut also.
00:15:01.50\00:15:04.37
- I love new remedies, I
go everywhere looking for new
00:15:04.40\00:15:07.35
remedies, so I am
really happy for this one.
00:15:07.38\00:15:09.18
I have asked Arianna Hartsfield
to be your demonstratee
00:15:09.21\00:15:14.14
for this so Arianna if you
will just lie right up here,
00:15:14.17\00:15:17.79
that's fine, and lie
back right on this pillow,
00:15:17.82\00:15:21.99
are you comfortable there,
ok, this is going to be...
00:15:22.02\00:15:26.56
- This is very fundamental, this
is just basically a sinus pack.
00:15:26.59\00:15:31.57
- Ok! - Now if I
would usually do a
00:15:31.60\00:15:34.40
sinus pack, I would have the
person in a hot foot bath also,
00:15:34.43\00:15:37.35
that means I would have their
feet in a hot basin of water
00:15:37.38\00:15:40.27
or a hot basin of water and
slowly raise the temperature
00:15:40.30\00:15:44.70
until it's tolerable for them.
00:15:44.73\00:15:46.26
But now what we're working on
is the face here and so I take
00:15:46.29\00:15:50.33
a hand towel and I fold
it, basically this is folded in
00:15:50.36\00:15:54.19
fourths, I still have the length
of it, and then I just do a
00:15:54.22\00:15:57.84
simple movement like this
and make it into sort of a mask.
00:15:57.87\00:16:00.85
I put this in hot water
and wring it out, you don't
00:16:00.88\00:16:04.22
want to steam this because
you are going to lay this
00:16:04.25\00:16:05.61
directly on the skin of
the face, but you want it to be
00:16:05.64\00:16:07.96
quite warm, and
once you've got it ready,
00:16:07.99\00:16:10.27
you lay it over the face
so it is covering the entire
00:16:10.30\00:16:16.38
sinus area.
00:16:16.41\00:16:17.72
You've got your sinuses all
in the forehead and underneath
00:16:17.75\00:16:21.65
the eyes, next to the nose,
they are all completely covered,
00:16:21.68\00:16:25.24
once you've got that on there
then you take another towel
00:16:25.27\00:16:28.12
and I do exactly the same thing,
I do a little flip with it
00:16:28.15\00:16:32.10
and lay this over the face.
00:16:32.13\00:16:35.44
Now the reason why I do it
this way is the person for some
00:16:35.47\00:16:39.50
strange reason still needs
to breathe, and so this way they
00:16:39.53\00:16:42.32
can still be breathing in
and out, they are having no
00:16:42.35\00:16:44.86
discomfort, and you just
put it there, now might wonder
00:16:44.89\00:16:49.01
well how do you know
if it is to hot or not?
00:16:49.04\00:16:50.44
There are a few way that you
can tell, one, you can ask them,
00:16:50.47\00:16:53.50
is that to hot, sometimes they
will say it's a little bit warm
00:16:53.53\00:16:57.37
and all you have to do is
just bring it up and wave it a
00:16:57.40\00:16:59.68
few times, lay it back down
it will loose a degree or two
00:16:59.71\00:17:02.68
with just a
small amount of waving.
00:17:02.71\00:17:04.42
Another way that you can
tell is just watch the person
00:17:04.45\00:17:08.02
watch their nose, watch their
mouth, watch their body because
00:17:08.05\00:17:12.16
usually body language will tell
you when they are uncomfortable.
00:17:12.19\00:17:14.99
What you do is you leave
this on for three minutes,
00:17:15.02\00:17:17.95
while this is on you've got
yourself a basin of cold water
00:17:17.98\00:17:22.93
with a cloth, when the
three minutes is up, you remove
00:17:22.96\00:17:26.04
the towel, I just lay it
down, take the hot one off,
00:17:26.07\00:17:29.86
which is not longer extremely
hot, take a cloth and do a
00:17:29.89\00:17:34.56
little rubbing all over
the area where you have had the
00:17:34.59\00:17:37.98
the hot compress which will...
00:17:38.01\00:17:40.67
- Now that's with cold water?
- This is with cold water!
00:17:40.70\00:17:42.66
- With the hot you've had a
vasodilatation but deeper down
00:17:42.69\00:17:47.72
you've had a constriction, now
this is going to do the opposite
00:17:47.75\00:17:50.47
and you want to get some
fluxion some inflow of blood
00:17:50.51\00:17:53.17
into and out of the area.
00:17:53.20\00:17:54.59
Once you've cleaned it off
nicely, you take your hot one
00:17:54.62\00:17:59.02
again, put it in hot water,
wring it out and just lay it
00:17:59.05\00:18:01.90
right back down again and
then put your other towel on
00:18:01.93\00:18:05.55
top which will hold the
heat give some good heating
00:18:05.58\00:18:10.59
into the area, another way
you can do this, a simple way is
00:18:10.62\00:18:14.96
just put someone in front of
a lamp and let the lamp shine
00:18:14.99\00:18:17.20
in their face, it's the
heat that we are looking for
00:18:17.23\00:18:19.91
which is going to help
open up the sinus passages
00:18:19.94\00:18:22.89
get some of the sinus
fluids that whatever might be
00:18:22.92\00:18:25.83
stopping it up moving
and it will work very nicely
00:18:25.86\00:18:29.11
having the foot
in the hot water...
00:18:29.14\00:18:30.90
- Just bend the knees and put
the feet in a tub of hot water
00:18:30.93\00:18:37.03
as hot as they can
stand. - Try not to let the back
00:18:37.06\00:18:39.82
of the legs hit the tub because
it is just uncomfortable for the
00:18:39.85\00:18:42.81
person, this will be drawing
down the blood decongesting
00:18:42.84\00:18:48.13
the head and the chest and
we will be drawing more blood
00:18:48.16\00:18:51.32
down to the feet, this
is derivation and there by
00:18:51.35\00:18:54.26
relieving some of the pressure
in the head, the sinuses,
00:18:54.29\00:18:58.34
the chest, where ever
it might be, giving some
00:18:58.37\00:19:00.62
very nice results.
00:19:00.65\00:19:02.15
How many times do you
change it, three minimum,
00:19:02.18\00:19:05.61
I would go up to seven to eight
at a time, the more the merrier
00:19:05.64\00:19:09.78
in this particular situation.
00:19:09.81\00:19:11.62
Now I mentioned that other
irrigation that I have not yet
00:19:11.65\00:19:15.60
shown you Dr. Thrash, and
what this one requires is a
00:19:15.63\00:19:19.16
little bit more interesting,
what we are going to do
00:19:19.19\00:19:22.15
is we're going to slide Arianna
this way until her head is
00:19:22.18\00:19:25.13
completely off the table,
so if you can just lay there
00:19:25.16\00:19:28.43
Arianna, we can sort of slide
the whole kit-n-caboodle over,
00:19:28.46\00:19:32.54
Ok I want your head all
the way, that's all right,
00:19:32.57\00:19:35.18
just let your head
fall, a little bit more, ok,
00:19:35.21\00:19:38.17
I want it all the
way back, that's perfect!
00:19:38.20\00:19:40.85
and then what we do is we take
an eyedropper and we take the
00:19:40.88\00:19:47.38
saline solution that we have
made, I'm not going to actually
00:19:47.41\00:19:51.08
do it Arianna but this is
what you do, you take a simple
00:19:51.11\00:19:54.89
eyedropper, you would fill
it with the saline and then you
00:19:54.92\00:19:58.25
have the person open the mouth,
open your mouth and breathe
00:19:58.28\00:20:01.12
through your mouth, and they
you would slowly fill up each
00:20:01.15\00:20:04.25
nostril with the saline
solution until it's completely
00:20:04.28\00:20:07.84
full, now it's going to
slowly drain back into the back
00:20:07.87\00:20:11.50
of her throat, she can
either swallow it or I like the
00:20:11.53\00:20:15.93
thought of taking a flexible
straw and put a flexible straw
00:20:15.96\00:20:19.08
in her mouth and she can
just expectorate out through the
00:20:19.11\00:20:22.12
flexible straw and you can
take the whole pint of saline
00:20:22.15\00:20:27.99
and slowly run it
through the sinuses patches.
00:20:28.02\00:20:30.34
Now you've got a
couple of things working,
00:20:30.37\00:20:32.05
you've got gravity Dr. Thrash
moving the saline down into
00:20:32.08\00:20:36.38
the sinus passages, you've
got the salt which is very
00:20:36.41\00:20:39.59
soothing to the sinus patches
and it's healing it's own right
00:20:39.62\00:20:43.53
and this is going to give her
a very nice cleaning out of the
00:20:43.56\00:20:47.65
sinus passages.
00:20:47.68\00:20:49.72
Now one more thing that
you can do in addition to these
00:20:49.75\00:20:52.85
things, if a person having real
sinus problems is put some sage
00:20:52.88\00:20:56.88
in water and do some inhalation
of sage steam, sage is very
00:20:56.91\00:21:02.83
cleansing and very
healing for the sinus passages,
00:21:02.86\00:21:05.53
just a regular old can of sage.
00:21:05.56\00:21:07.14
So these things work very
nicely, when I first experienced
00:21:07.17\00:21:11.85
this thing at Andrews University
it was so interesting,
00:21:11.88\00:21:14.24
and the nice thing about it is
you are laying down, you are not
00:21:14.27\00:21:17.73
sitting there trying to snuff
it up your nose, you are just
00:21:17.76\00:21:19.54
laying there and let
somebody else fill your nostrils
00:21:19.57\00:21:22.11
full of the water, you
won't drown, your mouth is open
00:21:22.14\00:21:24.74
you are breathing through
your mouth, if you breathe
00:21:24.77\00:21:26.56
through your nose you will
just suck it all through and
00:21:26.59\00:21:28.10
it will all be in the back
of your throat, no problem there
00:21:28.13\00:21:30.65
but I find this to be
an extremely nice way to do
00:21:30.68\00:21:34.25
a nasal irrigation.
00:21:34.28\00:21:35.38
- Yes, it sounds very nice
and sounds as if it might be
00:21:35.41\00:21:41.05
effective, I look forward to
trying it myself and prescribing
00:21:41.08\00:21:46.32
it for other people.
00:21:46.36\00:21:47.74
Thank you Arianna!
00:21:47.77\00:21:49.09
- Now we can
sit Arianna up here.
00:21:49.13\00:21:50.10
- Yes, I appreciate... I
love learning new remedies
00:21:51.26\00:21:54.07
especially learning things
that are dependent only on very
00:21:54.10\00:21:59.74
simple things that
you have in your own home.
00:21:59.77\00:22:02.68
Now I'd like to review for
you the anatomy here so that you
00:22:02.71\00:22:08.78
can see just what it is,
just where we have been working.
00:22:08.81\00:22:14.56
Here are the sinuses and
if the person leans backward
00:22:14.59\00:22:21.75
we will be irrigating past
the sinuses just in the nose
00:22:21.78\00:22:28.81
which when Arianna was
lying down the saline would
00:22:28.84\00:22:34.01
come into this area and stay.
00:22:34.04\00:22:37.34
Of course the sinuses are
back in here and you would be
00:22:37.37\00:22:41.76
irrigating past those and
you might get some of the saline
00:22:41.79\00:22:46.73
into the sinuses and that would
also cleanse them if you did
00:22:46.76\00:22:51.04
and then it can be
expectorated through the mouth,
00:22:51.07\00:22:54.02
very interesting new treatment
and I am very happy that
00:22:54.05\00:22:57.65
I could learn a new one.
00:22:57.68\00:22:59.82
Now I have asked my colleague
at Uchee Pines Rhonda Clark
00:22:59.85\00:23:07.16
to join me now for
some more instruction,
00:23:07.19\00:23:10.59
this is Rhonda Clark who
works with me at Uchee Pines
00:23:10.62\00:23:14.27
as you are an RN. - Yes!
00:23:14.30\00:23:17.33
And you have been working
at Uchee Pines as a lifestyle
00:23:17.36\00:23:20.88
counselor and a person who
does counseling by telephone.
00:23:20.91\00:23:25.79
- Yes! I have benefited
from the education program that
00:23:25.82\00:23:30.67
Dr. Miller was mentioning and
I received additional training
00:23:30.70\00:23:33.76
at Uchee Pines as a
student and have benefited,
00:23:33.79\00:23:35.83
now I really enjoy the
privilege of sharing what
00:23:35.86\00:23:37.69
I've learned with people
who call with health concerns.
00:23:37.72\00:23:40.32
- I understand that your
students really like you at
00:23:40.35\00:23:43.04
Uchee Pines because
you make the subject live.
00:23:43.07\00:23:46.78
What are you
going to show us today?
00:23:46.81\00:23:49.86
- Well I know that many people
are concerned about the quality
00:23:49.89\00:23:52.32
of air in their homes and
so they use machines such as
00:23:52.35\00:23:55.03
humidifiers or air ionizing
machines to help improve the
00:23:55.06\00:23:58.78
quality and I just wanted
to mention Dr. Thrash how very
00:23:58.81\00:24:01.64
important it is that these
machines be cleaned properly
00:24:01.67\00:24:06.41
and cared for properly.
00:24:06.44\00:24:07.62
Everyone who has had
one of these machines,
00:24:07.65\00:24:10.94
the package should come
with manufacturers instructions
00:24:10.97\00:24:13.96
for cleansing the machine.
00:24:13.99\00:24:15.39
Even when very pure water
is used in them they can harbor
00:24:15.42\00:24:19.60
bacteria, and ionizing
machines if they are not cleaned
00:24:19.63\00:24:22.91
regularly can accumulate
quite a lot of pollutants on the
00:24:22.94\00:24:26.88
device that helps to do the
ionizing and so I just wanted
00:24:26.91\00:24:30.30
to mention how important it
is to know the manufacturers
00:24:30.33\00:24:33.95
instructions for cleaning
the humidifier or the ionizer
00:24:33.98\00:24:36.39
they require cleaning
usually at least every day and
00:24:36.42\00:24:39.62
fresh water to be used in the
humidifier to ensure that you
00:24:39.65\00:24:43.56
truly are improving the of
quality of air in your home
00:24:43.59\00:24:45.63
and not worsening it.
00:24:45.66\00:24:48.68
And another little tip for
improving the quality of air
00:24:48.71\00:24:52.60
in your home is to bring
in house plants, some people
00:24:52.63\00:24:56.65
love them, I know that you
have house plants in your home
00:24:56.68\00:24:59.49
and I was very interested to
read a recent study from NASA
00:24:59.52\00:25:04.16
that they were looking
at improving air quality on
00:25:04.19\00:25:07.25
space stations and we're looking
at what types of plants might
00:25:07.28\00:25:11.52
be the very best for improving
air quality in a home and
00:25:11.55\00:25:16.51
how many plants did you need.
00:25:16.54\00:25:18.54
I have a list here of the plants
that they found that were the
00:25:18.57\00:25:22.40
best for purifying the
air, and some of these are
00:25:22.43\00:25:24.58
very common: The Bamboo
Palm. - The one that's tall.
00:25:24.61\00:25:28.82
- Yes! It's very decorative
and many people have them in
00:25:28.85\00:25:31.01
their homes they fill a corner
very nicely, wonderful for
00:25:31.04\00:25:34.69
filtering and purifying the air.
00:25:34.72\00:25:36.32
Spider plants,
these are very common.
00:25:36.35\00:25:39.48
- They are also tall because
they are long, they fall down
00:25:39.51\00:25:43.76
from the bowl, or the pot,
and can fall all the way to the
00:25:43.79\00:25:49.93
floor, they grow all
the way to the floor.
00:25:49.96\00:25:52.34
- And they are so easy to
take the little baby spiders
00:25:52.37\00:25:56.60
that come off the end,
the little spider plants...
00:25:56.63\00:25:59.27
- And make some
new plants. - Yes!
00:25:59.30\00:26:00.27
I think in dormitory rooms
we saw a lot of spider plants.
00:26:00.30\00:26:05.47
Flowering Mums, this is another
one, and Peace Lilies which are
00:26:05.50\00:26:09.76
so beautiful, Mother-in-law's
Tongues, now this was a plant
00:26:09.79\00:26:13.90
that I had not heard
of, is this one that you are
00:26:13.93\00:26:15.68
familiar with? - I
am familiar with that!
00:26:15.71\00:26:17.16
- Uh huh, and
wonderful for purifying the air,
00:26:17.19\00:26:20.09
English Ivy - very common
plant and the Gerbera Daisy,
00:26:20.12\00:26:25.65
I think I am saying that
correctly, the daisies are
00:26:25.68\00:26:28.82
wonderful for purifying the air.
00:26:28.85\00:26:30.70
These were the top plants
that they found and when they
00:26:30.73\00:26:34.51
looked to see how many do
you need for an 1800 square foot
00:26:34.54\00:26:38.69
area between 15 and 20 plants
and so quite a few actually.
00:26:38.72\00:26:43.44
- And that will
actually purify the air?
00:26:43.47\00:26:45.66
- Yes! Help
purify, help bring in...
00:26:45.69\00:26:48.17
- They take out gaseous
impurities like carbon dioxide
00:26:48.20\00:26:53.65
of course, but also
many other pollutants.
00:26:53.68\00:26:57.67
We can be thankful to NASA for
that, and thank you for sharing
00:26:57.70\00:27:02.19
this with us. -
I'm very grateful to!
00:27:02.22\00:27:04.00
- Well as you have seen these
simple things that we can do
00:27:04.03\00:27:08.68
to improve the air and
to improve the health of the
00:27:08.71\00:27:13.66
respiratory tree, I am sure
that you are thrilled as I am
00:27:13.69\00:27:16.88
with the knowledge that we have.
00:27:16.91\00:27:19.82
I think that to live in
this age would be the greatest
00:27:19.85\00:27:24.67
privilege ever, we have not
only the hope of the soon coming
00:27:24.70\00:27:28.45
of the Lord, but we also
have all of this information
00:27:28.48\00:27:32.00
that is being
discovered day by day.
00:27:32.03\00:27:34.06
New applications of old
principles, like the principle
00:27:34.09\00:27:38.39
of heat, the principle of
cleanliness, the principle of
00:27:38.42\00:27:41.38
irrigation, all of these things
are very simple, very important
00:27:41.41\00:27:47.32
things, but things that we enjoy
experimenting with to make it
00:27:47.35\00:27:53.37
so that we can love the
Lord more for His goodness
00:27:53.40\00:27:55.98
and His provisions.
00:27:56.01\00:27:57.13
