Welcome to Bird Flu part three.
00:00:30.22\00:00:33.41
Here with me
again is Amber Bell;
00:00:33.97\00:00:36.19
she is a doctor of
science and physical
00:00:36.62\00:00:38.79
therapy. And I'm
Dr. Clack, hopefully
00:00:38.80\00:00:41.76
you never get to this
point, you followed all
00:00:41.77\00:00:43.61
of the stuff on
prevention that we
00:00:43.62\00:00:45.64
talked about in the first talks,
00:00:45.65\00:00:47.43
but inevitably
somebody is gonna come down
00:00:48.00\00:00:50.50
with the bird
flu and you may need
00:00:50.51\00:00:52.53
to treat that.
So, we're going to go
00:00:52.54\00:00:55.47
through this step-by-step
00:00:55.48\00:00:57.35
and tell you what to do.
00:00:57.36\00:00:58.82
Say I'm starting
to get the flu. What
00:00:59.78\00:01:02.52
type of symptoms
would I be experiencing?
00:01:02.53\00:01:04.73
Well, Amber
usually the flu starts off
00:01:05.35\00:01:07.40
with a lot of aches
and pains, your muscles
00:01:07.41\00:01:10.13
hurt and you might
have a sore throat,
00:01:10.14\00:01:12.44
also you can have a headache,
00:01:12.82\00:01:14.33
okay, you just feel
generally a little bit
00:01:14.34\00:01:16.44
run down. Say these
symptoms start to get
00:01:16.45\00:01:18.73
worse. What, what
could I expect to happen?
00:01:18.74\00:01:21.61
Progressive symptoms include a
00:01:21.78\00:01:23.36
worsening sore
throat and you'll have a
00:01:23.37\00:01:26.33
headache that will get
worse, it might be more
00:01:26.34\00:01:29.26
behind your eyes then anywhere,
00:01:29.27\00:01:31.16
your whole body
aches will increase.
00:01:32.60\00:01:34.70
Also your eyes
might start getting red.
00:01:35.39\00:01:38.03
A lot of people
get what we called
00:01:38.04\00:01:39.59
conjunctivitis; it goes
right along with the flu.
00:01:39.60\00:01:42.92
So, it sounds like the symptoms
00:01:43.39\00:01:44.36
that we've talked
about just get more tense
00:01:44.37\00:01:47.13
and then start to
add possibly eye symptoms
00:01:47.14\00:01:49.66
and that sort of
thing. That's right.
00:01:49.67\00:01:51.30
Anything else start
to happen to the body,
00:01:51.31\00:01:52.94
for intense your temperature,
00:01:52.95\00:01:54.19
does that get
affected by the flu?
00:01:54.20\00:01:56.05
Yes, Amber. The
temperature often
00:01:56.06\00:01:57.93
goes up and it
could go as high as a 103,
00:01:57.94\00:02:01.80
people will get
chills. And chills are
00:02:02.52\00:02:04.49
really a sign that
you're colder than you
00:02:04.50\00:02:06.16
want to be, it
means your body is trying
00:02:06.17\00:02:07.78
to produce the heat to
raise your temperature.
00:02:07.79\00:02:10.03
And then you get worse malice,
00:02:10.80\00:02:12.81
we call it malice
exhaustion, tiredness.
00:02:12.82\00:02:15.60
Oh! I don't feel
good; I don't know I just
00:02:15.61\00:02:17.75
wanna go lay down.
A cough might start.
00:02:17.76\00:02:20.47
This is a sign that
it's affecting your throat
00:02:20.97\00:02:23.00
and your lungs. Cough
is not a good sign and,
00:02:23.01\00:02:26.32
but this can be a
regular flu as well as
00:02:26.33\00:02:28.22
the bird flu.
Okay. People lose their
00:02:28.23\00:02:30.21
appetite. And this
is something that the
00:02:30.22\00:02:33.69
flu bug does to
people and along with this
00:02:33.70\00:02:36.48
comes nausea and so it's a
00:02:36.49\00:02:39.52
generally a, a bad picture.
00:02:39.53\00:02:41.88
Now, what type
of symptoms did they
00:02:42.80\00:02:44.65
experience back in
1918 with the bird flu?
00:02:44.66\00:02:47.61
Well, 1918 bird flu
was pretty dramatic.
00:02:47.62\00:02:50.70
And what happened
then as it started out
00:02:51.15\00:02:53.92
like the regular seasonal flu,
00:02:53.93\00:02:55.78
but instead getting
over it by the third or fifth
00:02:55.79\00:02:59.96
day, the
patients continued to have
00:02:59.97\00:03:02.21
fevers, progressive,
shortness of breath,
00:03:02.22\00:03:05.03
lack of oxygen in
their circulation causing
00:03:05.88\00:03:08.58
kind of a blue
color all over the body,
00:03:08.59\00:03:10.61
they call it
cyanosis. And often times they
00:03:10.62\00:03:15.21
would be coughing
up sputum that would be
00:03:15.22\00:03:17.89
frothy,
red-tinged, pink-tinged, little
00:03:17.90\00:03:22.05
blood, very
ominous signs for a flu.
00:03:22.06\00:03:26.88
Okay, so it
sounds in 1918 progressed
00:03:26.89\00:03:29.50
pretty quickly
passing normal symptoms to
00:03:29.51\00:03:32.01
these more
severe symptoms. Yeah.
00:03:32.02\00:03:33.86
Any thing else like
along with these more
00:03:34.79\00:03:36.06
severe symptoms that
we should looking out for?
00:03:36.07\00:03:38.19
Yes, if you're
getting the bird flu,
00:03:38.76\00:03:40.18
one of the things
the people particularly
00:03:40.19\00:03:42.78
complaint of is
that they had a headache
00:03:42.79\00:03:46.19
right behind the
eyes; it was like a serene
00:03:46.20\00:03:49.58
headache. A headache
that just wouldn't go
00:03:49.59\00:03:51.72
away and the fever
would continue to raise,
00:03:51.73\00:03:55.22
but in order to
raise the fever they would
00:03:55.23\00:03:57.44
get some really,
what they called shaking
00:03:57.45\00:04:00.50
chills, uncontrollable
shaking. And this was
00:04:00.51\00:04:06.70
talked about a quite a bit,
00:04:06.71\00:04:08.24
teeth chattering,
bone shaking, terrific pain
00:04:08.25\00:04:12.16
almost everywhere.
And joint pain with agony
00:04:12.17\00:04:16.71
they described
it. Burning pain just
00:04:16.72\00:04:19.62
above the
diaphragm, you can imagine
00:04:19.63\00:04:21.74
right above
your stomach and this
00:04:21.75\00:04:23.69
of course is the
base of the lungs.
00:04:23.70\00:04:25.61
So, very, very progressive then
00:04:25.62\00:04:28.06
the heart would
start beating really hard.
00:04:28.07\00:04:30.12
We're talking
pounding fast, we call
00:04:30.75\00:04:34.04
it tachycardia and
palpitations, so lungs
00:04:34.05\00:04:37.41
are especially
hit. They, they would
00:04:37.42\00:04:40.62
come up gasping
for air, they'd be
00:04:40.63\00:04:43.47
turning blue,
they'd be coughing up blood
00:04:43.48\00:04:46.12
that would be originating from
00:04:46.13\00:04:47.24
the lungs, they would
have this foamy sputum.
00:04:47.25\00:04:50.77
This would be what we
call a viral pneumonia.
00:04:51.22\00:04:54.56
And a viral pneumonia
would end up destroying
00:04:54.57\00:04:58.93
the lungs and
causing to start bleeding.
00:04:58.94\00:05:00.65
We have reports of
patients dying within
00:05:00.66\00:05:02.40
24-hours of getting
flu, but then if they
00:05:02.41\00:05:05.97
survive the flu
within, within a month
00:05:05.98\00:05:08.82
they could still get
00:05:08.83\00:05:09.80
a pneumonia from bacteria.
00:05:09.81\00:05:11.44
'Cause their immune system was
00:05:11.45\00:05:12.82
so drained from
fighting off the flu,
00:05:12.83\00:05:14.43
it seems like
that would just be a
00:05:14.44\00:05:15.41
breeding ground
for anything that
00:05:15.42\00:05:16.39
could come in
and attack the body
00:05:16.40\00:05:18.27
at that point. Yes.
So, basically if you
00:05:18.28\00:05:21.07
survived these
symptoms you're still
00:05:21.08\00:05:23.00
not out of the
woods yet. That's right.
00:05:23.01\00:05:24.86
Okay. You could still
be dying of pneumonia.
00:05:24.87\00:05:27.40
Tell me a little bit
about what conventional
00:05:27.94\00:05:29.79
medicine does as
far as treatment?
00:05:29.80\00:05:31.40
Basically we're
looking forward to treating
00:05:31.41\00:05:33.71
the bird flu with what we've
00:05:33.72\00:05:34.70
been treating regular flu with.
00:05:34.71\00:05:37.16
But it's sounds more
severe. That's right.
00:05:37.17\00:05:39.54
Well, tell me what they're
00:05:39.55\00:05:40.52
using for
treating the regular flu?
00:05:40.53\00:05:42.34
First of all we put them to bed,
00:05:42.63\00:05:43.90
we start having
them take fluids,
00:05:44.60\00:05:46.47
if they came to the
hospital or been IV,
00:05:46.48\00:05:48.29
if you're home
and would be drinking
00:05:48.30\00:05:49.47
water. We have
them take a few things
00:05:49.48\00:05:52.36
to try to get the
fever down, usually
00:05:52.37\00:05:54.52
pharmacological
agents like Acetaminophen or
00:05:54.53\00:05:57.98
Tylenol. We discourage
Aspirin because it has
00:05:57.99\00:06:01.87
some
side-effects and the patient
00:06:01.88\00:06:03.87
with the viral
illness that aren't good.
00:06:03.88\00:06:05.82
Decongestants you
know, people run for
00:06:05.83\00:06:08.27
the Dynatap,
ephedrine or whatever, yep.
00:06:08.28\00:06:11.68
There's cough
syrups, people have
00:06:12.76\00:06:14.50
their favorite cough
syrup, their favorite
00:06:14.51\00:06:16.10
brand. And then
there is anti-virals.
00:06:16.11\00:06:19.03
These we'll talk a
little bit more about,
00:06:19.61\00:06:21.49
but these are pills
that are designed to
00:06:21.50\00:06:23.61
fight the virus themselves.
00:06:23.62\00:06:25.39
Then if a patient
was to get some kind
00:06:26.17\00:06:28.38
of secondary bacterial infection
00:06:28.39\00:06:30.13
we would have anti-biotics.
00:06:30.14\00:06:31.92
You send, send
the patients to bed,
00:06:31.93\00:06:34.59
that probably the best
00:06:34.60\00:06:35.80
treatment for the patient?
00:06:35.81\00:06:36.98
In studies in
animals where they've given
00:06:37.80\00:06:39.84
the animals
influenza and they used
00:06:39.85\00:06:42.00
two groups, one
group got to exercise
00:06:42.01\00:06:44.21
and the other
group got sent to bed,
00:06:44.22\00:06:46.02
but once they
wouldn't exercised actually
00:06:46.03\00:06:48.55
did better more than
survive lesser than died.
00:06:48.56\00:06:51.40
And so, we're
wondering if a little exercise
00:06:51.98\00:06:54.96
we're not
talking fatigue, but some
00:06:54.97\00:06:56.79
movements especially
outside in the open air,
00:06:56.80\00:06:59.07
wouldn't be good for patients?
00:06:59.08\00:07:01.11
Okay, keeping up
the fresh air. Yes,
00:07:01.12\00:07:03.94
fresh air, that's
right. And you're,
00:07:03.95\00:07:05.76
you mentioned also
00:07:05.77\00:07:07.01
Acetaminophen or Tylenol.
00:07:07.02\00:07:08.61
The
Acetaminophen or Tylenol has a
00:07:09.44\00:07:11.37
potential to
exacerbate the consequences
00:07:11.38\00:07:14.39
of any viral
infection. It decreases
00:07:14.40\00:07:17.59
the immune
response to the viruses.
00:07:17.60\00:07:19.47
So, it actually
hurts your immune system?
00:07:19.48\00:07:21.11
It does, okay, it actually does.
00:07:21.12\00:07:23.49
It can also hurt
your liver as well.
00:07:23.50\00:07:25.50
So, getting
your temperature down
00:07:26.09\00:07:28.38
through
pharmacological means may
00:07:28.39\00:07:31.04
not be the best
option, the best option.
00:07:31.05\00:07:33.49
You also mentioned anti-virals,
00:07:33.50\00:07:35.64
I would think man,
that's a great idea,
00:07:35.65\00:07:37.51
I'll just go out and take
00:07:37.52\00:07:38.63
something to fight the virus.
00:07:38.64\00:07:40.06
That's right,
call in the troops,
00:07:40.54\00:07:42.53
that's right, send
them after the virus.
00:07:42.54\00:07:44.11
Our most recent ones are Tamiflu
00:07:45.80\00:07:48.29
and Relenza. Tamiflu I remember
00:07:48.30\00:07:51.23
when it came out,
it never was marketed
00:07:51.24\00:07:53.09
as you know the army to
chase down the bird flu.
00:07:53.10\00:07:56.07
Have they done
any studies with these
00:07:57.04\00:07:58.19
anti-virals with
certain populations
00:07:58.20\00:08:00.54
and human populations
00:08:00.55\00:08:01.79
to see if they affect the flu?
00:08:01.80\00:08:03.92
Well, we have these
cases over in China,
00:08:04.28\00:08:06.58
bird flu that
have been happening
00:08:06.59\00:08:08.09
and in Vietnam and in Indonesia.
00:08:08.67\00:08:10.88
They have been
candying out the Tamiflu
00:08:11.66\00:08:13.79
to people with
the bird flu, the way
00:08:13.80\00:08:16.69
you're supposed to
give it is you're supposed
00:08:16.70\00:08:18.49
to give it the
first day the symptoms
00:08:18.50\00:08:20.48
show up and they've
done that and people
00:08:20.49\00:08:22.96
have still died.
So, they're worried
00:08:22.97\00:08:25.63
that there is some resistance.
00:08:25.64\00:08:26.80
What about in 1918
were they able to find
00:08:26.81\00:08:29.52
a treatment
options that affected
00:08:29.53\00:08:31.14
people with more
serious bird flu?
00:08:31.15\00:08:33.77
Well, they tried
a number of things
00:08:34.33\00:08:35.90
Dr. Alfred
Stengel, infectious disease
00:08:35.91\00:08:39.12
expert told a
bunch of medical students
00:08:39.13\00:08:40.92
in 1918, they had
tried gargles that is
00:08:40.93\00:08:44.96
mouth washes,
they had tried drugs,
00:08:44.97\00:08:47.17
and they had tried immune sera,
00:08:47.18\00:08:49.37
everything they tried seem
00:08:49.38\00:08:51.00
to make no difference at all.
00:08:51.01\00:08:52.30
Nothing seem to really affect
00:08:52.31\00:08:53.73
the people with the bird flu.
00:08:53.74\00:08:54.87
Nothing seem to
work, that's exactly right.
00:08:55.55\00:08:57.50
Wow! Well, say I'm coming down
00:08:57.51\00:09:00.01
with the bird flu what,
00:09:00.02\00:09:01.31
what do we suggest we do?
00:09:01.32\00:09:02.91
You know, in our
second talk we talked
00:09:03.59\00:09:05.60
about
prevention. And we mentioned
00:09:05.61\00:09:08.09
the eight natural
doctors and those were
00:09:08.10\00:09:10.84
pure air, sunlight,
abstemiousness, rest,
00:09:10.85\00:09:14.44
exercise, proper diet,
use of water and, trust
00:09:14.45\00:09:19.03
in divine power. And
this would definitely be
00:09:19.04\00:09:22.75
a time to make
sure you're acquainted
00:09:22.76\00:09:24.93
with each one of
those, yep, and practicing
00:09:24.94\00:09:26.67
each one of
those because each one
00:09:26.68\00:09:28.29
of those stimulates
immune system not only
00:09:28.30\00:09:30.39
for prevention,
but also for cure.
00:09:30.40\00:09:33.86
Okay, you mentioned
fruits and vegetables
00:09:33.87\00:09:35.64
it diet. Tell me
a little bit about
00:09:35.65\00:09:37.44
what is required in diet to
00:09:37.45\00:09:39.47
strengthen the immune system?
00:09:39.48\00:09:40.89
Yeah, lets review
that a little bit.
00:09:41.37\00:09:42.93
Besides the whole
list of things we gave
00:09:42.94\00:09:45.70
in the last
talk. When you actually
00:09:45.71\00:09:48.00
come down with the
flu we don't want you
00:09:48.01\00:09:49.87
to necessarily
overeat. We're thinking that
00:09:49.88\00:09:53.16
you want to have
a more sparse diet.
00:09:53.17\00:09:55.59
In fact, if you
feed the animals less
00:09:55.60\00:09:57.73
they've the flu
they survive better.
00:09:57.74\00:09:59.54
A little bit of calorie
00:09:59.55\00:10:00.52
restriction then, yes, okay.
00:10:00.53\00:10:02.80
And we're talking
especially junk empty
00:10:02.81\00:10:05.29
calories. No sugar.
No sugar, eat things
00:10:05.30\00:10:08.72
that are especially nutritious.
00:10:08.73\00:10:10.35
Vegetable juices
might be a good one.
00:10:11.11\00:10:12.86
Fruit juices might
have too much sugar,
00:10:12.87\00:10:14.86
yeah, but vegetable
juices, choose foods
00:10:14.87\00:10:17.61
from previous
lecture if possible,
00:10:17.62\00:10:19.35
things that are high
in vitamin A, vitamin E,
00:10:19.36\00:10:22.07
selenium, zinc. And
there is other things
00:10:22.08\00:10:24.46
you can eat too
that are healthful,
00:10:24.47\00:10:25.88
especially garlic
keeps the flu away,
00:10:25.89\00:10:29.12
keeps the friends away.
00:10:29.13\00:10:30.36
And keeps
everything maintains that
00:10:30.37\00:10:32.40
quarantine
distance. So, you mentioned
00:10:32.41\00:10:34.26
diet as a, a big component.
00:10:34.27\00:10:36.08
And I suppose it's
not probably what you
00:10:36.09\00:10:38.12
eat and so much as
you what you don't eat,
00:10:38.13\00:10:39.63
you mentioned stay
away from sugar, yes
00:10:39.64\00:10:41.63
and which
actually, probably your lower
00:10:41.64\00:10:42.98
immune system, so,
that's right, that some,
00:10:42.99\00:10:45.19
that's important.
So, you also mentioned
00:10:45.20\00:10:47.12
prayer, believing in
divine power that also
00:10:47.13\00:10:51.05
is affective for
your immune system
00:10:51.06\00:10:52.80
and for fighting off the flu.
00:10:52.81\00:10:54.00
Sure it is,
people who are prayed for
00:10:54.01\00:10:57.23
also do better,
they did some study on
00:10:57.24\00:10:59.86
patient in an
ICU. The ICU patients
00:10:59.87\00:11:03.00
were prayed for;
some of them were prayed
00:11:03.01\00:11:04.74
for, some of them
weren't, the patients
00:11:04.75\00:11:06.82
who are prayed for
required significantly
00:11:06.83\00:11:09.34
less ventilator
assistance, antibiotics
00:11:09.35\00:11:12.32
and diuretics.
Praying for patients is
00:11:12.33\00:11:15.00
you know, if I'm coming down
00:11:15.01\00:11:16.13
with the bird flu,
oh! Everybody pray.
00:11:16.14\00:11:17.97
It sounds like
there might be someone up
00:11:19.31\00:11:21.05
there helping
you out, the man who
00:11:21.06\00:11:22.64
created the immune
system, there you go,
00:11:22.65\00:11:24.58
the great healer.
So, you've addressed
00:11:24.59\00:11:26.30
you know prevention
which I think is very,
00:11:26.31\00:11:27.96
very important, as like you said
00:11:27.97\00:11:29.58
the stitching time
saves nine, so it's much
00:11:29.59\00:11:32.35
better to catch
that at the beginning,
00:11:32.36\00:11:33.62
but if I do start
to progress with the
00:11:33.63\00:11:35.99
symptoms of the
flu and I'm not able
00:11:36.00\00:11:37.82
to stop it with
the hot and cold baths
00:11:37.83\00:11:40.29
and the charcoal and
the diet and fresh air
00:11:40.30\00:11:42.24
and sunshine, is
there help you know what,
00:11:43.02\00:11:45.94
what can I address,
you said some of the
00:11:45.95\00:11:47.16
conventional stuff
just isn't quite coming
00:11:47.17\00:11:49.30
in with the people
who had it over in Asia.
00:11:49.31\00:11:51.09
That's right, it
wouldn't be that Modern
00:11:51.10\00:11:54.59
Medicine wouldn't have answers,
00:11:54.60\00:11:55.64
it'd be that the
answers are too few,
00:11:55.65\00:11:58.24
the far between.
You made be stuck
00:11:58.25\00:12:00.43
at home in
quarantine. You may need to know
00:12:00.44\00:12:02.53
this stuff for
your own good, even
00:12:02.54\00:12:04.54
if you have the
best doctor in the world
00:12:04.55\00:12:05.79
just right around
the corner, he may be
00:12:05.80\00:12:07.26
sick too. Right.
So, you need to know
00:12:07.27\00:12:09.76
what to do for
yourself in the situation.
00:12:09.77\00:12:13.12
Okay. So, we do have
some things that we can't
00:12:13.13\00:12:16.05
do and we learn
this from the 1918 flu.
00:12:16.06\00:12:18.67
While the
hospitals were losing many
00:12:19.55\00:12:21.30
of their flu
cases, the non-medical
00:12:21.31\00:12:23.28
hospitals such as
John Harvey Kellogg's
00:12:23.29\00:12:25.54
Battle Creek
sanitarium, or Mcfadden's
00:12:25.55\00:12:28.59
Health-Restorium
were getting almost 100%
00:12:28.60\00:12:31.28
healing with their water cure.
00:12:31.29\00:12:32.72
Wov! Baths and
enemas. We could follow
00:12:32.73\00:12:35.25
their methods, then
we might at least have
00:12:35.26\00:12:38.54
some success.
Yes, definitely in some
00:12:38.55\00:12:40.97
of the street there
already, let's look at
00:12:40.98\00:12:42.73
what kind of results they got.
00:12:42.74\00:12:44.28
We talked about mortality of the
00:12:44.67\00:12:47.12
influenza cases,
those that went to be
00:12:47.13\00:12:49.63
army hospitals
6.9% died, these are
00:12:49.64\00:12:54.54
the once that
passed away and this is
00:12:54.55\00:12:55.96
according to this
article. And those that
00:12:55.97\00:12:59.00
treated themselves at
home with hydrotherapy
00:12:59.01\00:13:01.53
4% died. So, this
is about almost half
00:13:02.17\00:13:05.85
and then of those who
went to the sanitarians
00:13:06.67\00:13:10.67
only 1½ % died.
Oh! Wow! Hydrotherapy
00:13:11.43\00:13:15.68
used to be a big
part of physical therapy,
00:13:15.69\00:13:17.99
yep, yep. You said, often still
00:13:18.00\00:13:19.38
in the hospitals
for room care for
00:13:19.39\00:13:20.91
encouraging circulation
and that sort of thing.
00:13:20.92\00:13:22.99
Correct, well you
know, hydrotherapy,
00:13:23.00\00:13:25.30
I've heard about
water, what is hydrotherapy?
00:13:25.31\00:13:27.92
That's a great
question? Hydrotherapy,
00:13:27.93\00:13:30.29
hydro water, the use of water,
00:13:30.30\00:13:33.42
in any of it's
forms, hot, cold that
00:13:33.43\00:13:35.27
sort of thing for
maintenance of health
00:13:35.28\00:13:37.14
and the treatment of disease.
00:13:37.15\00:13:38.54
Oh! So, basically
hydrotherapy is using
00:13:38.55\00:13:40.21
water to treat
illness. Hot water for instance
00:13:40.22\00:13:44.05
can be applied to
the body either with
00:13:44.06\00:13:45.66
hot packs or foot
packs that sort of thing
00:13:45.67\00:13:47.64
we'll talk about
the different methods,
00:13:47.65\00:13:49.08
but hot water
can be used to dilate
00:13:49.09\00:13:51.32
local blood vessels
and increase blood flow
00:13:51.33\00:13:53.43
to that area to
relieve pain, congestion,
00:13:53.44\00:13:55.91
muscle cramps inflammation.
00:13:55.92\00:13:57.76
Basically it moves
blood by attracting
00:13:57.77\00:14:00.05
it to the place of
warmth and by a reflex
00:14:00.06\00:14:01.97
reaction. And cold
water similar principle,
00:14:01.98\00:14:04.63
it's used to
constrict the blood vessels
00:14:04.64\00:14:06.75
and decrease the
blood flow to that area.
00:14:06.76\00:14:08.71
And it moves blood
away from the area,
00:14:08.72\00:14:10.97
the local area
that you're trying to
00:14:10.98\00:14:12.21
address the reflexive reaction.
00:14:12.22\00:14:13.93
Oh! Okay, so if I
want the blood to move
00:14:14.48\00:14:17.57
from this end of
the table to that end
00:14:17.58\00:14:19.30
I've make this end
cold and that end hot,
00:14:19.31\00:14:21.37
the blood will move that way.
00:14:21.38\00:14:22.45
That's the
principle. Well, that's great
00:14:22.46\00:14:24.68
and perfect health depends on,
00:14:24.69\00:14:26.94
perfect
circulation. So, we're really
00:14:26.95\00:14:28.86
working on
circulation, that's right.
00:14:28.87\00:14:30.41
Different things
that you'll need that
00:14:30.42\00:14:32.44
would be good to
have, is a thermometer,
00:14:32.45\00:14:34.53
actually two thermometers.
00:14:34.54\00:14:35.90
One to check the temperature
00:14:35.91\00:14:37.72
of your water and
the other one to check
00:14:37.73\00:14:40.18
the temperature
of your patient. So,
00:14:40.19\00:14:42.25
an oral thermometer
and a, oh! You know,
00:14:42.26\00:14:45.39
candy thermometers
is what I got, yep.
00:14:45.40\00:14:47.84
And then you
need some wash clothes
00:14:47.85\00:14:50.05
and you'll be using
these to dry different
00:14:50.06\00:14:52.34
areas, you'll be
using these to soak
00:14:52.35\00:14:56.07
in cold water and
put on people's foreheads
00:14:56.08\00:14:58.35
and different
other parts of the body.
00:14:58.36\00:15:00.47
You want a mattress protector,
00:15:00.48\00:15:02.66
you don't want
to get your mattress
00:15:02.67\00:15:04.25
wet wherever the
patient's laying on,
00:15:04.26\00:15:06.01
so we're talking one
of these vinyl mattress
00:15:06.02\00:15:08.45
protector and a
pillow protector,
00:15:08.46\00:15:10.55
kitchen towels
how about you know,
00:15:11.24\00:15:12.77
6 to 8 kitchen towels around,
00:15:12.78\00:15:14.39
cold compresses
just getting cold applied
00:15:14.40\00:15:17.17
to the body,
you're using to dry,
00:15:17.18\00:15:18.64
you also use them
to keep your hot packs
00:15:18.65\00:15:20.90
from getting too
hot, hitting the patient
00:15:20.91\00:15:23.21
too much. There
and there is these gel
00:15:23.22\00:15:26.27
packs. I think
those are very handy,
00:15:26.28\00:15:27.91
anything you can use for heat.
00:15:27.92\00:15:29.37
Kellogg said you
know, you can use
00:15:29.38\00:15:30.95
the fermentation
pads that's what they
00:15:30.96\00:15:32.61
used in
sanitarian, but he has a whole
00:15:32.62\00:15:35.47
section on what
else do use bricks,
00:15:35.48\00:15:37.47
anything that will
hold heat for a while.
00:15:37.48\00:15:39.85
Water bottles,
yeah, just anything,
00:15:39.86\00:15:42.93
but I like the
gel packs you can buy
00:15:42.94\00:15:45.21
in the stores,
'cause they're useable,
00:15:45.22\00:15:46.60
you can throw
them in the microwave,
00:15:46.61\00:15:47.71
you can throw
them in the freezer,
00:15:47.72\00:15:49.09
they just so you know,
versatile, versatile,yes.
00:15:49.10\00:15:52.88
Then that cold
mitten friction you can buy
00:15:53.52\00:15:56.56
these terry cloth hot
mets that's what I used
00:15:56.57\00:16:00.55
and that what
I've got pictured here
00:16:00.56\00:16:02.18
and then you'll
need some towels,
00:16:02.19\00:16:03.61
just some regular
bath towels both for
00:16:03.62\00:16:05.43
drying the patient,
'cause some of these
00:16:05.44\00:16:07.45
procedures you'll be
drying them in between
00:16:07.46\00:16:09.34
every
application of hot and cold,
00:16:09.35\00:16:11.59
but also in some
cases you'll use them
00:16:12.31\00:16:14.06
to help insulate the
patient from the heat
00:16:14.07\00:16:16.66
or to hold the heat
in. So, have a stack
00:16:16.67\00:16:19.26
of towels, have a
big source of heat.
00:16:19.27\00:16:23.34
Now, you maybe
boiling these gel packs
00:16:23.35\00:16:26.49
or towels or
whatever you're gonna use
00:16:26.50\00:16:28.33
for your hot, you
may wanna big canning pan
00:16:28.34\00:16:33.37
or you may just
use your microwave,
00:16:34.04\00:16:35.68
whatever you need
source of heat you can
00:16:35.69\00:16:37.83
have a burner and
you can buy and put
00:16:37.84\00:16:40.53
under your
kettle, blankets 2, 3, 4
00:16:40.54\00:16:43.94
blankets some
people preferred wool,
00:16:43.95\00:16:46.69
but if you don't
have wool, just whatever
00:16:46.70\00:16:48.81
you can get a hold
of, if you need more
00:16:48.82\00:16:50.95
warmth just add more
blankets and then you
00:16:50.96\00:16:53.96
want some very
nice cotton sheets,
00:16:53.97\00:16:56.97
here I have a
picture of a full sheet set,
00:16:56.98\00:17:00.08
that is called
the jersey net, that's
00:17:00.09\00:17:02.60
because it'll cling
tighter to the patient
00:17:02.61\00:17:05.02
more easily and cut
out any dead air spaces.
00:17:05.03\00:17:07.54
Then there is
flower sacks to fill with
00:17:08.35\00:17:10.53
charcoal for the
charcoal fomentations
00:17:10.54\00:17:12.55
we're gonna talk
about. And then there is
00:17:12.56\00:17:14.92
an ice dish, that
it is an ice dish,
00:17:14.93\00:17:16.72
it is not a doggy
dish, but you want an ice
00:17:16.73\00:17:18.66
dish it won't fall
over, so yeah those doggy
00:17:18.67\00:17:21.29
dishes were quite
fine and they're pretty
00:17:21.30\00:17:22.85
cheap actually. Then
a set of bowls would be
00:17:22.86\00:17:25.51
nice for cold
water, for warm water,
00:17:25.52\00:17:27.93
for bringing out
things. Well, Amber you
00:17:27.94\00:17:31.09
mentioned on your list of things
00:17:31.10\00:17:32.72
that we were gonna
learn about, drinking
00:17:32.73\00:17:34.40
water Yes, very important.
00:17:34.41\00:17:36.63
Why is that important?
00:17:36.64\00:17:37.98
Well, some of
the symptoms that we
00:17:38.23\00:17:39.30
talked about for
the bird flu you can
00:17:39.31\00:17:42.25
address with
drinking water, for instance
00:17:42.26\00:17:44.26
dehydration of
course you want to
00:17:44.27\00:17:45.71
make sure you keep
your level of water
00:17:45.72\00:17:47.26
up in your body, you
also can possibly use
00:17:47.27\00:17:50.65
water for fever,
fatigue that general run down
00:17:50.66\00:17:54.01
feeling we
called malice. Oh! So,
00:17:54.02\00:17:56.29
water can be used for any
00:17:56.30\00:17:57.27
of those symptoms with the flu.
00:17:57.28\00:17:58.73
Wow! What does
the water actually
00:17:58.74\00:18:00.47
do inside you.
Well, it's almost like
00:18:00.48\00:18:02.47
an internal bath,
it sheds waste from
00:18:02.48\00:18:04.76
your body, it
cleanses your body as you
00:18:04.77\00:18:06.80
drink it, it also
dilutes the fluids
00:18:06.81\00:18:08.93
of the body, so
you purify your body
00:18:08.94\00:18:10.94
when you're drinking
water, increases your
00:18:10.95\00:18:12.91
blood volume, it
also increase blood cell
00:18:12.92\00:18:14.71
survival and
oxygen carrying capacity
00:18:14.72\00:18:17.23
in your body. And also increases
00:18:17.24\00:18:18.72
your metabolism. Oh!
I'm thinking it better,
00:18:18.73\00:18:20.47
we could have
some more. You know,
00:18:20.48\00:18:21.84
it's very good,
that's very promising.
00:18:21.85\00:18:24.21
Excellent, what they
recommend is drinking
00:18:25.42\00:18:27.18
at least 10 to 16, 8
ounce glasses of water
00:18:27.19\00:18:30.11
a day. Patients
tell me they get 6
00:18:30.12\00:18:31.93
glasses of
coffee, does that count?
00:18:31.94\00:18:33.60
You actually have
to drink more water
00:18:33.61\00:18:35.20
when you drink coffee,
so it's not good for it,
00:18:35.21\00:18:37.65
it's diuretic, it is,
it flushes everything.
00:18:37.66\00:18:39.95
So, you actually
can get some water from
00:18:39.96\00:18:42.56
fruits and
vegetables, hot water actually
00:18:42.57\00:18:44.88
can be really
beneficial for a cough,
00:18:44.89\00:18:46.56
neutral water is
best for quick absorption,
00:18:46.57\00:18:48.84
if you drink cold
water actually your body
00:18:48.85\00:18:50.93
has to warm it first then it can
00:18:50.94\00:18:52.59
use it, so drinking neutral
00:18:52.60\00:18:53.96
temperature water is good.
00:18:53.97\00:18:55.78
Well you know,
I'm just gonna go tell
00:18:56.48\00:18:58.28
everybody to
drink a ton of water.
00:18:58.29\00:18:59.85
Yeah, well be
careful there are some
00:18:59.86\00:19:02.79
precautions. Oh!
Usually you can't over
00:19:02.80\00:19:05.24
drink, but if
someone has kidney failure,
00:19:05.25\00:19:07.84
the kidneys aren't
adequately filtering
00:19:07.85\00:19:09.84
fluids or congestive
heart failure where they
00:19:09.85\00:19:12.12
tend to take on
more fluid anyway,
00:19:12.13\00:19:13.96
you want to be careful
00:19:13.97\00:19:14.94
with their, their fluid intake.
00:19:14.95\00:19:16.39
Now, you also mentioned steam
00:19:16.40\00:19:18.93
inhalation, yes. For instance,
00:19:18.94\00:19:22.19
if you were to
have a tea pot that made
00:19:22.20\00:19:24.90
steam and to be
breathing that steam
00:19:24.91\00:19:27.13
and that type of
thing that's very good for
00:19:27.14\00:19:28.98
inflammation and
congestion of the
00:19:28.99\00:19:30.93
mucous membranes,
remember we talked
00:19:30.94\00:19:32.27
about the
selenium moving the mucous,
00:19:32.28\00:19:33.97
which cleans out
your lungs when you breath
00:19:33.98\00:19:36.27
in warm steam
that actually helps
00:19:36.28\00:19:39.29
the mucous
membranes, it's good for
00:19:39.30\00:19:41.08
runny nose, post nasal drip,
00:19:41.09\00:19:42.89
it relieves
irritation in the back of your
00:19:43.00\00:19:44.71
throat, that moist
air, it's also good for
00:19:44.72\00:19:46.75
loosening
secretions that have build up,
00:19:46.76\00:19:48.65
it's also good for
relieving spasmodic
00:19:48.66\00:19:51.26
breathing. Oh!
And coughing and also
00:19:51.27\00:19:54.72
prevent
excessive dryness of those
00:19:54.73\00:19:56.84
mucous membranes. Wow! So,
00:19:56.85\00:19:58.25
steam is actually a
very good mortality.
00:19:58.26\00:20:00.66
Sounds like it,
well now where do I
00:20:00.94\00:20:03.98
I find the
steam, how do I get it?
00:20:03.99\00:20:05.71
Get in a kettle or
some type of vaporizer
00:20:05.72\00:20:10.03
you can boil water
in, you can roll up a
00:20:10.04\00:20:13.01
news paper and use
that to find the steam
00:20:13.02\00:20:15.91
to the nose. Alright.
00:20:15.92\00:20:17.34
And often times you
can also use that to
00:20:17.35\00:20:19.40
apply some type
of medication like a
00:20:19.41\00:20:21.72
Vaporub were often
the oil in eucalyptus and
00:20:21.73\00:20:25.45
put that on the
inside of the newspaper,
00:20:25.46\00:20:27.44
that's right, so
that as the steam is
00:20:27.45\00:20:28.80
coming up you'll get
some on the medication
00:20:28.81\00:20:30.73
as well breath in,
when you're breath.
00:20:30.74\00:20:33.41
If you want to
continuous inhalation,
00:20:33.42\00:20:35.22
sometimes you can use a bed side
00:20:35.23\00:20:36.67
stand with hot
plate, so that it's right
00:20:36.68\00:20:39.12
there with the patient and
00:20:39.13\00:20:40.94
they can breathing in.
00:20:40.95\00:20:42.26
All set this
patient up what, what,
00:20:42.27\00:20:45.11
how shall I do this treatment?
00:20:45.12\00:20:47.52
Well, if the
patients is maybe somewhat
00:20:47.53\00:20:49.74
sitting up and
better lying in bed
00:20:49.75\00:20:51.57
you can fill up the
vaporizer or the kettle
00:20:51.58\00:20:54.62
with the boiling
water and basically carry it
00:20:54.63\00:20:58.06
to the bed side place
it next to the patient.
00:20:58.07\00:21:00.26
And then again
use that newspaper to
00:21:00.27\00:21:02.30
make a spout and just direct the
00:21:02.31\00:21:04.18
steam right to the patients.
00:21:04.19\00:21:05.54
And as far as then usually
00:21:05.55\00:21:08.74
one half to one
hour, three times a day
00:21:08.75\00:21:11.51
as well they recommend.
00:21:11.52\00:21:13.02
And is this
something just you know,
00:21:13.03\00:21:15.09
anybody can do
and everybody can do
00:21:15.10\00:21:16.93
and no problem. Yeah,
you just again you want
00:21:16.94\00:21:18.69
to be careful to
check the inhalation often
00:21:18.70\00:21:21.79
to make sure
everything is going okay,
00:21:21.80\00:21:23.07
you want to avoid
the risk of burning
00:21:23.08\00:21:24.40
'cause the
steam if it's too hot,
00:21:24.41\00:21:25.92
you can burn the patient,
00:21:25.93\00:21:27.59
you wanna avoid
drafts during the treatment
00:21:27.60\00:21:30.55
time and now extra
care must be exercise
00:21:30.56\00:21:33.21
when giving
treatments to children
00:21:33.22\00:21:34.39
to avoid accidents.
That's pretty simple;
00:21:34.40\00:21:36.53
I think I could do that at home.
00:21:36.54\00:21:38.00
It's very easy
to do at home. Well,
00:21:38.01\00:21:39.58
tell us a little bit
about the next one you
00:21:39.59\00:21:41.47
talked about or
list of earlier about
00:21:41.48\00:21:43.48
the hot foot and leg bath.
00:21:43.49\00:21:46.20
This is one of my favorites even
00:21:46.21\00:21:47.84
when you're not
sick in the winter day,
00:21:47.85\00:21:49.45
it feels wonderful.
Really, what, what I,
00:21:49.46\00:21:51.45
what it do for me? Well,
00:21:51.46\00:21:52.88
if you had a
headache, yeah, or eye pain,
00:21:52.89\00:21:56.09
chest congestion,
runny nose, chills,
00:21:56.10\00:21:59.08
these are all
the types of symptoms
00:21:59.09\00:22:00.36
that you would
use a foot bath for.
00:22:00.37\00:22:01.92
Oh! And what does the foot bath
00:22:01.93\00:22:04.25
actually do to my body? Well,
00:22:04.26\00:22:06.16
you mentioned
about using the table
00:22:06.17\00:22:09.17
one putting hot water at one end
00:22:09.18\00:22:10.46
and cold and, yes, and then
00:22:10.47\00:22:11.63
blood moving it's
very similar again.
00:22:11.64\00:22:13.18
When you have your
foot or a lower leg
00:22:13.19\00:22:15.99
and warm water?
Basically you're moving
00:22:16.00\00:22:18.38
the blood to the feet. Okay.
00:22:18.39\00:22:20.48
And what that does
is relief congestion
00:22:20.49\00:22:22.54
and information
in your eyes and in
00:22:22.55\00:22:24.05
your brain and in your chest,
00:22:24.06\00:22:25.58
it also
increases, remember that warm
00:22:25.59\00:22:28.04
temperature here
just like what the
00:22:28.05\00:22:29.06
shower increases your blood cell
00:22:29.07\00:22:31.24
activity and the
blood cells are gonna
00:22:31.25\00:22:32.99
above the immune system,
00:22:33.00\00:22:33.99
which fights off
the influenza and virus
00:22:34.00\00:22:36.67
and it also
provides the general warming
00:22:36.68\00:22:39.39
to the body even to the point of
00:22:39.40\00:22:41.07
perspiration, which
is one of your body's
00:22:41.08\00:22:42.65
waste of
eliminating waste and toxins.
00:22:42.66\00:22:45.17
Great, wow! So, to after go down
00:22:45.18\00:22:49.07
to the spot to do this.
00:22:49.08\00:22:50.37
No, you can do this
right your home as well.
00:22:50.38\00:22:52.52
The things that
you need basically or
00:22:52.53\00:22:54.37
it's a water
container that's large enough
00:22:54.38\00:22:56.25
to be able to fit
the, as much as the
00:22:56.26\00:22:58.55
lower leg and it's possible.
00:22:58.56\00:22:59.95
Hopefully you've to 2/3
up to the knee, alright.
00:22:59.96\00:23:02.69
Again you mention
thermometer earlier
00:23:02.70\00:23:05.23
of the equipment
and this is a good time
00:23:05.24\00:23:06.58
to have that thermometer and
00:23:06.59\00:23:08.35
you want the water temperature
00:23:08.36\00:23:09.57
between a 103,
and a 110 degrees.
00:23:09.58\00:23:12.00
Oh! For the, for
the foot bath you also
00:23:12.01\00:23:15.55
wanna blanket to
keep the rest of the
00:23:15.56\00:23:17.00
patient warm.
Source of the hot water
00:23:17.01\00:23:20.66
is important like a
picture of hot water or
00:23:20.67\00:23:23.31
the boiling water that
you can pour into that,
00:23:23.32\00:23:24.92
you've measured the temperature,
00:23:24.93\00:23:26.12
so you don't burn
your patient obviously,
00:23:26.13\00:23:27.62
oh! So, you need
a source of water
00:23:27.63\00:23:29.25
and towel or cold
pack, remember you
00:23:29.26\00:23:33.16
talked about
taking the wash cloth and
00:23:33.17\00:23:34.87
dip in that cold
water and placing
00:23:34.88\00:23:36.64
that on the forehead,
00:23:36.65\00:23:37.69
which again we
talked about an area of cold
00:23:37.70\00:23:39.86
'cause we want to
relieve the congestion
00:23:39.87\00:23:41.78
and the brain,
yes, and the lungs
00:23:41.79\00:23:43.61
and draw the
blood down to the feet.
00:23:43.62\00:23:46.48
And again you want
to make sure you have
00:23:46.49\00:23:49.39
that plastic cover on the bed,
00:23:49.40\00:23:50.86
so you don't get the better
00:23:50.87\00:23:51.84
the patient want. Alright.
00:23:51.85\00:23:53.83
It sounds like
pretty much all you need.
00:23:53.84\00:23:54.81
Wow! That simple.
Yeah, when you talked
00:23:54.82\00:23:57.84
about getting these things from
00:23:57.85\00:23:59.48
your local store,
yep, you don't have,
00:23:59.49\00:24:01.69
and get
everything, you don't have to
00:24:01.70\00:24:03.05
to send off to Norway, no,
00:24:03.06\00:24:04.85
you get a special
you know, region towel.
00:24:04.86\00:24:08.23
Well, alright
tell us a little bit
00:24:08.24\00:24:11.75
about the
treatment process. Alright,
00:24:11.76\00:24:13.18
first of all you
can have the patient
00:24:13.19\00:24:14.93
either in lying or
sitting that the feet
00:24:14.94\00:24:16.76
or legs placed in
the water and a warm
00:24:16.77\00:24:19.07
towel around them. Okay.
00:24:19.08\00:24:21.35
And then you wanna
start with the bath
00:24:21.36\00:24:22.47
around 103 degrees and maybe can
00:24:22.48\00:24:24.09
slowly add water,
warm water until you
00:24:24.10\00:24:26.38
raise the
temperature to the 110 degrees,
00:24:26.39\00:24:28.94
oh! And again
raising the water up
00:24:28.95\00:24:30.59
to the legs as
high as you can and
00:24:30.60\00:24:31.87
you want to do
this treatment for
00:24:31.88\00:24:33.28
5 to 30 minutes and,
00:24:33.29\00:24:35.44
and do it 1 to 3 times a day.
00:24:35.45\00:24:36.97
And when you finish
with your treatment,
00:24:36.98\00:24:39.24
so it's been a half an hour and
00:24:39.25\00:24:40.49
if been in this warm bath,
00:24:40.50\00:24:41.67
you wanna pour
cold water over the feet
00:24:41.68\00:24:44.05
and legs and then dry
it thoroughly with that
00:24:44.06\00:24:46.32
cold water does is
actually closes your
00:24:46.33\00:24:48.95
pours insulator
to keep the heat.
00:24:48.96\00:24:51.08
And you wanna dry thoroughly
00:24:51.09\00:24:53.36
following that to avoid chills.
00:24:53.37\00:24:54.87
Wow! Well, that simple enough.
00:24:54.88\00:24:56.39
It is, it's very simple.
00:24:56.40\00:24:57.79
And it feels wonderful.
00:24:57.80\00:24:58.87
Well, I've seen you had a method
00:24:58.88\00:25:00.65
to your madness
here, but each time we're
00:25:00.66\00:25:03.95
talking we're
getting little more involved
00:25:03.96\00:25:06.54
that seems like, yes, yes.
00:25:06.55\00:25:07.88
And I can't wait till
we get to the last trip.
00:25:07.89\00:25:10.72
Let's just take the next one
00:25:12.44\00:25:14.55
when you
mentioned a neutral bath.
00:25:14.56\00:25:16.30
Neutral refers to
the temperature of
00:25:16.31\00:25:18.25
the water not too hot,
00:25:18.26\00:25:19.55
not too cold
neutral temperature.
00:25:19.56\00:25:21.82
Oh! Very good.
Well, and what exactly
00:25:21.83\00:25:24.58
what I used to
the neutral bath for?
00:25:24.59\00:25:26.39
Alright, very good question,
00:25:26.40\00:25:27.37
someone is having
fevers and chills,
00:25:27.38\00:25:29.50
the symptoms of
exhaustion, insomnia
00:25:29.51\00:25:32.42
they're not
sleeping well inflamation,
00:25:32.43\00:25:34.57
inflammation you
talked about in the lungs.
00:25:34.58\00:25:36.18
and the brain and
different parts of
00:25:36.19\00:25:38.15
the body and abdominal pains
00:25:38.16\00:25:40.03
from the
inflammation and the intestines
00:25:40.04\00:25:42.31
all those symptoms would respond
00:25:42.32\00:25:44.00
very well to the neutral bath.
00:25:44.01\00:25:45.58
If there sprung on,
00:25:45.59\00:25:46.66
what exactly is the neutral
00:25:46.67\00:25:48.24
bath doing to me?
Okay, well what they
00:25:48.25\00:25:50.65
see the
physiological reactions are
00:25:50.66\00:25:52.34
decrease in pulse rate, oh!
00:25:52.35\00:25:54.39
Your body can
actually absorb water through
00:25:54.40\00:25:56.84
your pores when
you're in the water,
00:25:56.85\00:25:58.09
so it's good for
hydration, alright,
00:25:58.10\00:25:59.97
decreases nerve
irritability afterward
00:25:59.98\00:26:02.30
we likes to come home at the end
00:26:02.31\00:26:03.28
of the day and take a
nice warm bath, right?
00:26:03.29\00:26:05.11
Neutral bath
decreasing irritability.
00:26:05.12\00:26:07.18
It actually
increases the activity or
00:26:07.19\00:26:09.73
excites the activity in the skin
00:26:09.74\00:26:11.00
and the kidneys, oh! Yep,
00:26:11.01\00:26:13.12
and it balances
the circulation of the
00:26:13.13\00:26:14.92
blood through the body.
00:26:14.93\00:26:15.90
Remember we talked about perfect
00:26:15.91\00:26:17.80
circulation as
perfect health, yeah,
00:26:17.81\00:26:19.65
and if you have areas
of inflammation then blood
00:26:19.66\00:26:21.88
will be pouring in those areas
00:26:21.89\00:26:23.35
and that can be unhealthy.
00:26:23.36\00:26:24.95
Oh! Interesting, do I need any
00:26:24.96\00:26:27.02
special
equipment? Well, basically
00:26:27.03\00:26:29.18
you just need your bath tub,
00:26:29.19\00:26:30.40
oh! Some warm
water and a thermometer,
00:26:30.41\00:26:32.43
so that's very simple.
00:26:32.44\00:26:33.81
Well, most people have that.
00:26:33.82\00:26:36.02
I think so. Tell me
about the treatment.
00:26:36.03\00:26:38.32
Well, you want
to place the patient
00:26:38.33\00:26:39.62
in the water,
in the tub at about
00:26:39.63\00:26:41.42
92 to 97 degrees
just below your normal
00:26:41.43\00:26:44.55
body temperature,
that's why you called
00:26:44.56\00:26:45.69
a neutral bath.
And you wanna maintain
00:26:45.70\00:26:48.32
the temperature
94-95 degrees and
00:26:48.33\00:26:51.60
you wanna do it, anywhere from
00:26:51.61\00:26:52.67
15 to 2 hours. Oh! Yep. Well,
00:26:52.68\00:26:55.83
15 minutes to 2 hours. Well,
00:26:55.84\00:26:59.26
just sit back and
relax. That's right.
00:26:59.27\00:27:01.72
Can everybody do this?
Is there any precautions
00:27:01.73\00:27:05.21
There are some
precautions for using
00:27:05.22\00:27:06.83
the neutral bath
and you want to avoid
00:27:06.84\00:27:08.97
chilling, so you
want to keep the air
00:27:08.98\00:27:10.44
around the patient
an about 75 degrees,
00:27:10.45\00:27:12.48
keep the room
temperature comfortable,
00:27:12.49\00:27:14.12
so that they
don't become chilled.
00:27:14.13\00:27:16.03
Also for patient to
have congestive heart
00:27:16.04\00:27:18.33
failure, this is not
a good idea for them.
00:27:18.34\00:27:20.36
So, you want to be careful on
00:27:20.37\00:27:22.33
those patients.
And the last thing
00:27:22.34\00:27:24.07
is patient to have
skin lesions, or skin,
00:27:24.08\00:27:25.78
who want to be
careful not to soak
00:27:25.79\00:27:27.22
those for too
long 'cause that can be
00:27:27.23\00:27:28.52
detrimental as
well. Well, Amber we're
00:27:28.53\00:27:31.51
covering a lot of ground here,
00:27:31.52\00:27:33.21
I mean this a, this
sounds like a regular
00:27:33.22\00:27:35.52
course and medial hydrotherapy.
00:27:35.53\00:27:37.43
It is, laymen's
medical hydrotherapy.
00:27:37.44\00:27:41.05
Yeah marijuana, that's right,
00:27:41.06\00:27:42.51
maybe this is Tijuana.
00:27:42.52\00:27:44.01
The next one
when you talked about
00:27:44.02\00:27:46.21
was leg heating
pack fold by cold mitten
00:27:46.22\00:27:49.62
friction. Yes, you
can need that plastic
00:27:49.63\00:27:52.04
sheet to protect the
bed because the patient
00:27:52.05\00:27:53.83
will be using the
hot blankets on the bed,
00:27:53.84\00:27:56.05
okay, you want cotton blanket or
00:27:56.06\00:27:58.74
a flannel sheet,
okay, for absorbing the
00:27:58.75\00:28:01.13
water also an
addition you want two warm
00:28:01.14\00:28:04.23
wool blankets preferably wool,
00:28:04.24\00:28:06.33
alright. It can
act as an insulator.
00:28:06.34\00:28:08.34
And you wanna
again sources of hot
00:28:08.35\00:28:10.92
and cold water,
and a pillow. Wow!
00:28:10.93\00:28:13.97
Sounds really all you need.
00:28:13.98\00:28:14.95
How do I do this treatment?
00:28:14.96\00:28:16.80
Well, usually they
recommend you start
00:28:16.81\00:28:18.28
with the one foot bath,
00:28:18.29\00:28:19.43
so you already
getting them blood
00:28:19.44\00:28:20.68
circulating and
you use this to get the
00:28:20.69\00:28:22.61
patient ready while
you're preparing the
00:28:22.62\00:28:25.24
leg heat pack. Well, you wanna
00:28:25.25\00:28:27.52
do this place that
plastic sheet over the
00:28:27.53\00:28:29.93
bed then you're
gonna place those two
00:28:29.94\00:28:31.92
warm blankets down over the bed.
00:28:31.93\00:28:33.64
Oh! Before the
patient has had a chance
00:28:33.65\00:28:36.21
to lay down. Okay,
00:28:36.22\00:28:37.56
you're going to
take a cotton blanket
00:28:37.57\00:28:40.55
or a sheet go
right up and you're gonna
00:28:40.56\00:28:42.30
immerse that in
that warm water, okay,
00:28:42.31\00:28:44.78
and dry it out. Now, you've said
00:28:44.79\00:28:46.93
I need to dry out the
cotton sheet or blanket,
00:28:46.94\00:28:52.07
you mean just ring it out,
00:28:52.08\00:28:53.20
yeah just ring it out,
00:28:53.21\00:28:54.18
you get really extra water. Yep,
00:28:54.19\00:28:55.16
you wanna keep
that warm water there,
00:28:55.17\00:28:56.42
but not the excess water,
00:28:56.43\00:28:57.75
so the patients
not all wet. Yes,
00:28:57.76\00:28:59.94
so you would use
these for symptoms such as
00:28:59.95\00:29:02.67
the full body ache or the malice
00:29:02.68\00:29:04.58
that comes on with the flu.
00:29:04.59\00:29:05.83
Also the congestion and
the lungs and the chest.
00:29:05.84\00:29:09.19
Remember you mentioned sinuses,
00:29:09.20\00:29:11.04
which is the blue
color and it goes off
00:29:11.05\00:29:12.65
the body and
that's because, oh! Yeah,
00:29:12.66\00:29:13.78
the blood isn't
getting enough oxygen,
00:29:13.79\00:29:15.74
so it's maintaining a blue color
00:29:15.75\00:29:16.89
cool purplish. Also headaches,
00:29:16.90\00:29:19.91
sore throat and
chills, these are all symptoms
00:29:19.92\00:29:22.21
that will benefit
from the leg heat pack.
00:29:22.22\00:29:24.95
Oh! So, and the leg
heat pack is actually
00:29:24.96\00:29:27.94
just a
progression of the cold or
00:29:27.95\00:29:30.93
the one foot
bath, another words you
00:29:30.94\00:29:33.72
discovering more
area of the body as you
00:29:33.73\00:29:35.81
addressing more blood vessels,
00:29:35.82\00:29:37.64
so you can
affect more circulation.
00:29:37.65\00:29:39.11
Wow! So, very good. So,
00:29:39.12\00:29:42.09
it's like a foot
bath had goes higher
00:29:42.10\00:29:45.04
of the leg.
That's right, exactly.
00:29:45.05\00:29:46.84
And basically
again you're moving blood
00:29:46.85\00:29:49.66
to the legs, so you're relieving
00:29:49.67\00:29:51.53
the congestion and inflammation
00:29:51.54\00:29:53.03
in the brain and
the chest and the legs
00:29:53.04\00:29:55.09
just like you were
with hot foot bath. Okay.
00:29:55.10\00:29:57.11
Again you're
increasing the white blood cell
00:29:57.12\00:29:59.21
activity to fight off you know,
00:29:59.22\00:30:00.85
to increase your
immune system and
00:30:00.86\00:30:01.83
fight off that
virus again the general
00:30:01.84\00:30:04.57
warming rise up
perspiration to sweat
00:30:04.58\00:30:06.65
out some of those
toxins and stimulating
00:30:06.66\00:30:08.37
circulation. Before
the patient lays down
00:30:08.38\00:30:10.26
you lay that down,
then you're going to
00:30:10.27\00:30:12.27
lie the patient
down, have the patient lay
00:30:12.28\00:30:14.77
on the bed then
you're gonna wrap that one
00:30:14.78\00:30:17.09
blanket around one
half around one leg,
00:30:17.10\00:30:19.15
one half around
the other leg, okay.
00:30:19.16\00:30:21.61
And then you're
gonna take those two warm
00:30:21.62\00:30:23.14
wool blankets and
just kind of keep cool
00:30:23.15\00:30:24.58
the patient and
wrap them completely up
00:30:24.59\00:30:26.07
and that's gonna
insulate their legs to
00:30:26.08\00:30:27.92
keep that nice warm
heat around their legs.
00:30:27.93\00:30:30.27
And do I need to do
anything with the rest
00:30:30.28\00:30:32.62
of the patient? As the patient's
00:30:32.63\00:30:33.78
lying down you
wanna place a cool cloth
00:30:33.79\00:30:35.95
on their forehead
again you're encouraging
00:30:35.96\00:30:38.55
the blood to move
away from the brain
00:30:38.56\00:30:40.09
and upper area and
down into the legs.
00:30:40.10\00:30:42.01
And you wanna do
that for about 20
00:30:42.02\00:30:43.75
to 30 minutes just
have them lying there.
00:30:43.76\00:30:45.53
You wanna follow
that with the cold mitten
00:30:45.54\00:30:47.96
friction and we're explaining
00:30:47.97\00:30:49.16
that in just a moment.
00:30:49.17\00:30:50.32
Alright, so let me just see,
00:30:50.33\00:30:52.79
if I understand this.
00:30:52.80\00:30:54.20
We're going to
take this patient in a
00:30:54.21\00:30:56.95
wrap their legs in
a hot wet blanket or,
00:30:56.96\00:31:01.24
or sheet, yep,
and then we're going
00:31:01.25\00:31:03.17
to cone them in,
so they keep that
00:31:03.18\00:31:04.91
warmth in put
something cold to that
00:31:04.92\00:31:07.23
head again, yep,
and keep them there
00:31:07.24\00:31:09.49
for 20-30 minutes,
that's exactly right.
00:31:09.50\00:31:11.97
And then
afterwards we're gonna do
00:31:11.98\00:31:13.65
what you called the
cold mitten friction.
00:31:13.66\00:31:16.02
that's right. Oh! Very good.
00:31:16.03\00:31:18.37
Why would I use a
cold mitten friction?
00:31:18.38\00:31:20.76
It's a very good question.
00:31:20.77\00:31:21.74
It's very good for
sluggish circulation.
00:31:21.75\00:31:24.74
We talked about
with the blue coloring
00:31:24.75\00:31:26.30
of the patient
with the cyanosis,
00:31:26.31\00:31:28.11
it's following the
heat treatment because
00:31:28.12\00:31:30.74
it kind of increases as
they stimulating effect.
00:31:30.75\00:31:32.77
The hot and cold
contrast is really gets
00:31:32.78\00:31:34.97
the circulation following.
00:31:34.98\00:31:36.15
It's excellent for
generalized weakness,
00:31:36.16\00:31:38.78
lack of endurance,
the run down feeling
00:31:38.79\00:31:42.15
that you feel
after the fever. Now,
00:31:42.16\00:31:44.00
also builds up
resistance to cold and
00:31:44.01\00:31:45.98
the body's
resistance to disease.
00:31:45.99\00:31:48.01
It also increases
the skin circulation,
00:31:48.02\00:31:51.41
improves your
heart tone and general
00:31:51.42\00:31:53.75
circulation throughout
the rest of your body,
00:31:53.76\00:31:56.26
it also again increases
the white cell activity
00:31:56.27\00:31:59.34
and antibody
production to fight off
00:31:59.35\00:32:01.10
the influence of virus and
00:32:01.11\00:32:03.65
it also reduces
fever. Well, very good,
00:32:03.66\00:32:06.64
sounds pretty effective.
00:32:06.65\00:32:08.74
It's excellent.
00:32:08.81\00:32:09.78
What do I need
to do this at home?
00:32:09.79\00:32:11.95
Well, first of all
you need a large container
00:32:11.96\00:32:13.56
that can hold to
your ice and water,
00:32:13.57\00:32:15.56
you would like to get mittens,
00:32:15.57\00:32:17.63
usually of a nice
knitted course material,
00:32:17.64\00:32:20.25
rough to the
touch, you need a heavy
00:32:20.26\00:32:23.53
flannel sheet
and one or two towels
00:32:23.54\00:32:26.07
and a wash cloth. Oh! I've got,
00:32:26.08\00:32:29.66
I've got that all around my.
00:32:29.67\00:32:30.64
Oh! I know very easy.
00:32:30.65\00:32:31.62
What you want to do is,
00:32:31.63\00:32:34.48
you have the
patient lying on the bed
00:32:34.49\00:32:36.17
covered in the flannel sheet.
00:32:36.18\00:32:37.65
Oh! First of all
you want to take your
00:32:37.66\00:32:39.09
wash cloth and
dip that in cool water
00:32:39.10\00:32:40.90
and just kind of
cool off the head, face,
00:32:40.91\00:32:42.42
and neck area wiped that down
00:32:42.43\00:32:43.87
with the cool cloth. Okay.
00:32:43.88\00:32:45.79
And you'll take the two mittens,
00:32:45.80\00:32:47.59
the course material
that we talked about
00:32:47.60\00:32:49.38
and you've put
that in the water just
00:32:49.39\00:32:51.03
completely immersion
soaked in the ice water,
00:32:51.04\00:32:54.17
dry those off just
ring them out, yeah,
00:32:54.18\00:32:57.66
and then what
you're gonna do is slowly
00:32:57.67\00:32:59.34
uncover one part of
the patient at a time, oh!
00:32:59.35\00:33:01.89
And usually you
want to start with the
00:33:01.90\00:33:03.63
trunk or the main
body area of the patient.
00:33:03.64\00:33:06.86
Okay, and so you'll just uncover
00:33:06.87\00:33:08.48
portion of that
with the blanket,
00:33:08.49\00:33:10.16
keep the rest
of the patient nice
00:33:10.17\00:33:11.20
and warming covered, yeah,
00:33:11.21\00:33:12.54
and you're gonna take
those mittens with the
00:33:12.55\00:33:13.77
the cold water
and just start doing a
00:33:13.78\00:33:15.23
nice friction
massage over the area of
00:33:15.24\00:33:17.95
skin that's exposed. Okay.
00:33:17.96\00:33:20.29
And you wanna do
that until you notice
00:33:20.30\00:33:21.32
the skin start too redden. Oh!
00:33:21.33\00:33:23.29
Sometimes it happens
quickly and sometimes
00:33:23.30\00:33:25.17
it can take you up
to 15 and 20 minutes
00:33:25.18\00:33:26.97
for rubbing the
area or really get the
00:33:26.98\00:33:28.34
circulation stimulated
back to that area. Wow!
00:33:28.35\00:33:31.21
Sounds like work,
it is. Give me a little
00:33:31.22\00:33:34.09
bit of a, we're got there.
00:33:34.10\00:33:36.32
Then what you
wanna do is dry that area
00:33:36.33\00:33:38.84
and recover it
with the wool blanket
00:33:38.85\00:33:41.61
and keep it nice
and warm and then
00:33:41.62\00:33:42.65
progress to the
next area and once you've
00:33:42.66\00:33:44.00
done the trunk
then you wanna work
00:33:44.01\00:33:46.16
down the arms, the legs and then
00:33:46.17\00:33:48.31
you don't need to do the feet.
00:33:48.32\00:33:49.74
And all through out
this treatment you wanna
00:33:49.75\00:33:51.96
make sure you
keep the patient nice
00:33:51.97\00:33:53.20
and warm and dry. I
think I could do that.
00:33:53.21\00:33:56.45
Sometimes I would
like to have somebody
00:33:56.46\00:33:59.12
do that to me
too, that's right a
00:33:59.13\00:34:00.72
nice massage. Wow! So,
00:34:00.73\00:34:02.66
what the
complications it might be fun to
00:34:02.67\00:34:04.51
have with the flu.
00:34:04.52\00:34:05.49
You talked about fomentation.
00:34:07.65\00:34:09.11
Tell us little bit
about fomentations.
00:34:09.12\00:34:10.88
Fermentation,
it's kind of a big word
00:34:10.89\00:34:12.23
to swallow it first, yeah.
00:34:12.24\00:34:13.79
Basically it's
applying heat to the body
00:34:13.80\00:34:15.85
again using the
principles of diluting
00:34:15.86\00:34:18.16
the blood vessels
and to we've tension,
00:34:18.17\00:34:20.92
to relax the
muscles, to relieve pain.
00:34:20.93\00:34:23.26
And one of the most simplest and
00:34:23.27\00:34:25.15
affectively as
we doing that is by
00:34:25.16\00:34:26.64
using a
fomentation. And a fomentation
00:34:26.65\00:34:28.40
is anything such as a blanket,
00:34:28.41\00:34:30.21
a towel, gel
anything that's warm that
00:34:30.22\00:34:33.34
can apply heat
to the body. Oh! So,
00:34:33.35\00:34:35.68
that's basically
what a fomentation is.
00:34:35.69\00:34:37.64
It's applying moist
heat to a local area.
00:34:37.65\00:34:39.99
Okay. Usually
better result to obtain,
00:34:40.00\00:34:43.27
if the
application covers to somewhat
00:34:43.28\00:34:44.61
larger area then
the affected area,
00:34:44.62\00:34:46.53
say you wanna tell
the area just above
00:34:46.54\00:34:48.90
or maybe the abdomen,
00:34:48.91\00:34:50.57
if you cover a
little bit larger area
00:34:50.58\00:34:52.90
then just the abdomen usually
00:34:52.91\00:34:53.88
you get better results. Okay.
00:34:53.89\00:34:55.16
And for the best
reaction you wanna
00:34:55.17\00:34:58.19
apply the heat and
merely following to
00:34:58.20\00:35:00.17
application of cold
till this helps maintain
00:35:00.18\00:35:02.78
to desired affect. Well,
00:35:02.79\00:35:04.02
what would I use
a, a fomentation for?
00:35:04.03\00:35:06.74
Well, many of them some terms
00:35:06.75\00:35:07.83
you describe
from the flue such as
00:35:07.84\00:35:09.48
relieving congestion
again from the chest,
00:35:09.49\00:35:11.82
and coughs, colds,
bronchitis, pneumonia,
00:35:11.83\00:35:15.44
influenza all of
these problems can usually
00:35:15.45\00:35:18.25
benefit from the fomentation.
00:35:18.26\00:35:20.20
Well, from the fomentation.
00:35:20.21\00:35:21.88
Also reducing
inflammation in the
00:35:21.89\00:35:24.54
intestines and we
talked about the blue
00:35:24.55\00:35:28.38
coloring the cyanosis the,
00:35:28.39\00:35:30.08
from the sluggish blood flow,
00:35:30.09\00:35:31.61
the congestion all
these disturbances that
00:35:31.62\00:35:34.81
are cause by the
lack of circulation can
00:35:34.82\00:35:37.34
prove with fomentations.
00:35:37.35\00:35:39.29
Well, great wow!
What is the fomentation
00:35:39.30\00:35:42.60
actually doing to me?
00:35:42.61\00:35:43.95
It actually
stimulates tissue activity
00:35:43.96\00:35:46.64
by quickening the circulation,
00:35:46.65\00:35:48.21
increasing a metabolism,
00:35:48.22\00:35:49.80
increases the
body's temperature,
00:35:49.81\00:35:51.26
okay. Promotes
increasing circulation
00:35:51.27\00:35:53.66
or white blood cells,
it enhances stimulation
00:35:53.67\00:35:56.01
through sweating
again the perspiration
00:35:56.02\00:35:57.72
eliminating the
toxins and relieves
00:35:57.73\00:35:59.91
muscle spams,
increases circulation or as the
00:35:59.92\00:36:02.78
muscles to relax
pretty much relieves pain
00:36:02.79\00:36:05.38
from the
internal organs as well,
00:36:05.39\00:36:06.70
so it's very
helpful from many of
00:36:06.71\00:36:08.88
these symptoms with the flu.
00:36:08.89\00:36:10.22
Wow! Sounds like a cure.
00:36:10.23\00:36:11.91
And what equipment will I need?
00:36:11.92\00:36:13.83
Five fomentation pads or what is
00:36:13.84\00:36:15.64
recommend and
that's because often the
00:36:15.65\00:36:18.20
pad or whatever
you're using to apply
00:36:18.21\00:36:19.90
heat will cool down
then you wanna be able
00:36:19.91\00:36:21.56
to replace it with the next one,
00:36:21.57\00:36:22.93
so usually
recommend having five on hand,
00:36:22.94\00:36:24.75
okay, that can
be any product that
00:36:24.76\00:36:26.19
we talked about
gel packs, clothes,
00:36:26.20\00:36:29.05
blankets, anything
that one folded up into a
00:36:29.06\00:36:30.87
thickness can be
used to apply heat
00:36:30.88\00:36:32.49
to a certain area. Okay.
00:36:32.50\00:36:34.54
You also need a heating device,
00:36:34.55\00:36:36.16
which is a kettle or steamer,
00:36:36.17\00:36:38.30
and microwave etc.
00:36:38.31\00:36:39.81
One large warm
blanket will preferred.
00:36:39.82\00:36:43.12
Oh! Again using as an insulator,
00:36:43.13\00:36:45.84
one sheet and one pillow, okay,
00:36:45.85\00:36:48.10
you also want to
have two large buckets;
00:36:48.11\00:36:51.04
one is for foot
bath to be formed
00:36:51.05\00:36:53.34
why you're doing
the fomentations. Okay,
00:36:53.35\00:36:56.07
water thermometer
and oral thermometer
00:36:56.08\00:36:57.62
to maintain your temperature
00:36:57.63\00:36:58.80
that you're
looking for, ten towels.
00:36:58.81\00:37:00.89
Wow! Yes and a
cloth for wrapping
00:37:00.90\00:37:04.52
and cooling off the head.
00:37:04.53\00:37:05.73
Basins of water,
ice, plastic bed sheet,
00:37:05.74\00:37:09.22
again you always
want to protect the
00:37:09.23\00:37:10.47
area of the patient
is lying in and Vaseline.
00:37:10.48\00:37:12.90
Take us through how
when I used treatments
00:37:12.91\00:37:14.72
for progress? First of all,
00:37:14.73\00:37:16.45
again you always
like to start with the
00:37:16.46\00:37:18.19
hot foot bath, so the patient
00:37:18.20\00:37:19.43
is getting their
circulation going
00:37:19.44\00:37:21.16
while you're
preparing and setting up
00:37:21.17\00:37:22.44
for the
fomentation. You wanna keep
00:37:22.45\00:37:24.54
the room
temperature again about 75-80,
00:37:24.55\00:37:26.62
keeping the
patient from becoming
00:37:26.63\00:37:28.58
chilled keeping
them comfortable, okay,
00:37:28.59\00:37:30.45
keeping it free from breeze,
00:37:30.46\00:37:31.71
you wanna place
that plastic bed sheet
00:37:31.72\00:37:33.84
over the bed to
protect from moisture, yeah,
00:37:33.85\00:37:36.39
and then whatever
area going to treat,
00:37:36.40\00:37:38.08
you take that
Vaseline and you rub it
00:37:38.09\00:37:39.55
into that area. Okay.
00:37:39.56\00:37:41.39
You put a cool
cloth on the forehead and
00:37:41.40\00:37:43.90
then you're gonna
place the fomentations
00:37:43.91\00:37:45.85
into the hot
water into the desired
00:37:45.86\00:37:47.61
temperature and
then you remove them
00:37:47.62\00:37:49.52
and ring them right up. Wow!
00:37:49.53\00:37:51.70
Then you get place a dry towel
00:37:51.71\00:37:53.73
over the area that you
just apply the Vaseline
00:37:53.74\00:37:55.79
to the area that
you want to treat,
00:37:55.80\00:37:57.30
implies that's
gonna protect that area
00:37:57.31\00:37:59.21
from being burned or, oh!
00:37:59.22\00:38:01.02
From the hot
fomentation to always
00:38:01.03\00:38:03.08
protect the patient then again
00:38:03.09\00:38:05.11
put that fomentation
whatever you're using
00:38:05.12\00:38:07.31
the gel or the
towels over that patient
00:38:07.32\00:38:09.79
you wanna leave it and place for
00:38:09.80\00:38:10.94
3-5 minutes,
okay, and then when that
00:38:10.95\00:38:13.70
started to cool
a little bit after
00:38:13.71\00:38:15.09
3-5 minutes
remove it and you always
00:38:15.10\00:38:17.75
want to after that
fomentation rub that
00:38:17.76\00:38:20.05
area down and make
sure it's nice and dry
00:38:20.06\00:38:21.73
before you apply the next one.
00:38:21.74\00:38:23.15
Wiping them moist
through off the skin
00:38:23.16\00:38:25.17
before applying
the next fomentation
00:38:25.18\00:38:27.31
is important,
all changes should be
00:38:27.32\00:38:29.46
made quickly you
never wanna leave that
00:38:29.47\00:38:31.78
area that you're
treating expose for
00:38:31.79\00:38:33.22
too long. Oh!
And if the patient is
00:38:33.23\00:38:35.53
perspiring a lot, you wanna make
00:38:35.54\00:38:36.73
sure you tried
that area before putting
00:38:36.74\00:38:38.62
on the next fomentations.
00:38:38.63\00:38:40.04
And you replace it
with the another one
00:38:40.05\00:38:41.77
and you longer keep
that about two times,
00:38:41.78\00:38:43.42
if once you've
completed all three
00:38:43.43\00:38:44.80
fomentations you
want to rub that area down
00:38:44.81\00:38:47.47
with the cloth soaked
in ice water and dry it
00:38:47.48\00:38:49.90
thoroughly always
end with the cold. Oh!
00:38:49.91\00:38:51.77
I look forward to have, I know,
00:38:51.78\00:38:53.48
but it's important.
Have has any patient
00:38:53.49\00:38:58.12
ever gotten
burned with these? Yes,
00:38:58.13\00:39:00.12
you have to be very carefull
00:39:00.13\00:39:01.54
I've seen a lot
of skin redness, oh!
00:39:01.55\00:39:03.64
If you're not
careful to make sure that
00:39:03.65\00:39:05.35
there is enough
insulation between the
00:39:05.36\00:39:07.25
fomentation and in the skin,
00:39:07.26\00:39:08.53
so even between applications of
00:39:08.54\00:39:11.08
on to the next
you always wanna check
00:39:11.09\00:39:12.25
the skin and make
sure it looks and not
00:39:12.26\00:39:14.05
too overly red. No red lobster,
00:39:14.06\00:39:16.17
no red lobster even and main.
00:39:16.18\00:39:18.35
Well, very good
are there any other
00:39:18.36\00:39:21.33
precautions I need
to keep in mind? Yep,
00:39:21.34\00:39:23.59
just like who
said again making chill
00:39:23.60\00:39:25.13
patient isn't
chills keeping up room
00:39:25.14\00:39:26.58
temperature about 75 degrees,
00:39:26.59\00:39:28.96
always wanna make sure the
00:39:28.97\00:39:30.17
patients feet
are kept warm. Okay.
00:39:30.18\00:39:32.66
And you always
wanna keep the head cool.
00:39:32.67\00:39:34.95
This sounds like
a fairly involved
00:39:34.96\00:39:37.97
treatment, but I
think it something that
00:39:37.98\00:39:40.18
most people can
handle, definitely.
00:39:40.19\00:39:42.42
Actually there is a
way to progress that
00:39:42.43\00:39:45.19
if the patient is
getting more severe
00:39:45.20\00:39:46.61
in their symptoms.
Yes, the fomentation is
00:39:46.62\00:39:49.25
very good about
moving blood around the body,
00:39:49.26\00:39:51.75
but sometimes these patients are
00:39:51.76\00:39:54.21
resistance to
having that blood moved.
00:39:54.22\00:39:56.55
And especially if
they're going into the
00:39:56.56\00:39:59.39
pulmonary edema and
hemorrhagic pneumonia,
00:39:59.40\00:40:03.86
and they're having
the cytokines, the extra
00:40:03.87\00:40:06.51
inflammation in the
lungs and you're having
00:40:06.52\00:40:08.89
trouble getting
the blood to move away
00:40:08.90\00:40:10.90
from there,
they're still congested,
00:40:10.91\00:40:12.38
still having trouble breathing,
00:40:12.39\00:40:13.74
then we would do
a little different
00:40:13.75\00:40:15.82
process, where
instead of putting the
00:40:15.83\00:40:18.06
fomentation or
hot pack to the front
00:40:18.07\00:40:20.11
of chest we
would put the hot pack
00:40:20.12\00:40:23.39
to the back of
the chest and put a
00:40:23.40\00:40:26.23
cold pack on the front of chest.
00:40:26.24\00:40:28.06
What this is
doing as you have the
00:40:28.50\00:40:30.19
patient lay down on the hot pack
00:40:30.20\00:40:32.60
and it helps the
blood to move out of
00:40:32.98\00:40:36.11
the chest into
the vessels that go
00:40:36.12\00:40:38.63
in between the
ribs, the intercostals,
00:40:38.64\00:40:40.29
it pulls blood out
of the chest that way,
00:40:40.30\00:40:42.84
the cold pack to
the front of the chest
00:40:42.85\00:40:45.01
causes a reflex
constriction of the
00:40:45.02\00:40:49.43
pulmonary
vessels, and that way you
00:40:49.44\00:40:52.43
have a double
blanket, you pulled blood
00:40:52.53\00:40:54.14
out and you're
causing the, the nervous
00:40:54.15\00:40:56.63
system to shrink the
vessels from the front,
00:40:56.64\00:40:58.85
so cold in the
front, to shrink the vessels
00:40:58.86\00:41:01.55
to cause a vasal
constriction, hot
00:41:01.56\00:41:03.88
pack in the back to
cause vasal dilation
00:41:03.89\00:41:06.70
pull blood back
into the intercostals,
00:41:06.71\00:41:08.50
that should help
get the blood out
00:41:08.51\00:41:10.44
of the lungs,
decrease the congestion,
00:41:10.45\00:41:12.52
get the blood moving because we
00:41:12.53\00:41:14.65
know that perfect
health depends on,
00:41:14.66\00:41:17.14
perfect
circulation, that's right.
00:41:17.15\00:41:19.87
And one think you
wanna be careful with
00:41:19.88\00:41:21.11
this one is from
the patient is lying on
00:41:21.12\00:41:23.17
the hot pack that
can be a little bit
00:41:23.18\00:41:25.01
more aggressive,
so you wanna make
00:41:25.02\00:41:28.02
sure there is
enough padding there and
00:41:28.03\00:41:29.30
check the
patient, so you don't burn
00:41:29.31\00:41:30.67
their skin. That's
right, burnt patients
00:41:30.68\00:41:33.27
don't general come back happy.
00:41:33.28\00:41:35.22
No, well we've
covered quite a few
00:41:35.23\00:41:38.80
interesting
treatments, yes. It's been very
00:41:38.81\00:41:41.85
helpful the, again
the hot bath, the hot
00:41:41.86\00:41:44.88
leg compress, the
abdominal cold and
00:41:44.89\00:41:47.86
chest packs and
fomentations, all
00:41:47.87\00:41:49.95
using the same principle of
00:41:49.96\00:41:50.93
maintaining
circulation, which is gonna help
00:41:50.94\00:41:52.49
the body to
maintain perfect health.
00:41:52.50\00:41:54.08
Let's go a little
bit more in depth into
00:41:54.09\00:41:55.85
the use charcoal
for some of these
00:41:55.86\00:41:57.28
influenza
symptoms, if you don't mind,
00:41:57.29\00:41:58.90
I would like to ask
you a couple questions
00:41:58.91\00:42:00.24
about that. Sure.
Some of the symptoms
00:42:00.25\00:42:03.17
that we can't
treat with the charcoal,
00:42:03.18\00:42:05.59
can you review
those with us? Yes,
00:42:05.60\00:42:07.96
the charcoal is
very handy; you can use
00:42:07.97\00:42:10.58
it for a lot of
different problems.
00:42:10.59\00:42:12.82
And we talked about
the different symptoms
00:42:13.19\00:42:15.83
the sore throat
that was the reason
00:42:15.84\00:42:17.64
we were taken it
by mouth is helped
00:42:17.65\00:42:19.80
by the charcoal,
even the body aches,
00:42:19.81\00:42:22.63
you see those body
aches are often the
00:42:22.64\00:42:24.52
influenza virus
sending toxins throughout
00:42:24.53\00:42:26.70
the body, the
charcoal helps to absorb
00:42:26.71\00:42:29.13
those toxins.
And then there is the
00:42:29.14\00:42:31.55
inflammation, the
inflammation of the
00:42:31.56\00:42:33.05
lungs, it causes
what we called the
00:42:33.06\00:42:35.08
cytokine storm,
hemorrhagic pneumonia,
00:42:35.09\00:42:37.47
the inflammation
of the lungs that
00:42:37.48\00:42:38.71
kills people.
Charcoal is very important
00:42:38.72\00:42:41.24
for reducing inflammation and
00:42:41.25\00:42:43.58
then there's inflammation around
00:42:43.59\00:42:45.44
the eyes, these
people have the red eyes,
00:42:45.45\00:42:47.88
charcoal is very
helpful we'll talk
00:42:47.89\00:42:49.41
about how to use it
there? Any swelling,
00:42:49.42\00:42:52.37
diarrhea can be
helped with charcoal.
00:42:52.38\00:42:54.89
And then there is
nausea and vomiting
00:42:54.90\00:42:57.82
and this can be a
big problem if you're
00:42:57.83\00:43:01.70
losing lots of
food and charcoal a
00:43:01.71\00:43:03.35
big help in this
area as well. Okay, wow!
00:43:03.36\00:43:07.46
It sounds like
it addresses a lot
00:43:07.47\00:43:08.70
of the symptoms, just like the
00:43:08.71\00:43:09.91
hydrotherapy does. Sure does.
00:43:09.92\00:43:12.10
What type of
equipment are we gonna
00:43:12.11\00:43:13.64
need for doing
charcoal applications?
00:43:13.65\00:43:15.27
Well, first of
all you'll need your
00:43:15.28\00:43:17.10
charcoal, you don't
want charcoal breakouts
00:43:17.11\00:43:19.61
from your grill,
what we're talking
00:43:19.62\00:43:22.90
about is basically
a commercial product
00:43:22.91\00:43:25.85
that you can buy
you know activated
00:43:25.86\00:43:27.80
charcoal you can buy it at
00:43:27.81\00:43:28.96
charcoal remedies.com, there
00:43:28.97\00:43:31.53
is other places
just look it up on the
00:43:31.54\00:43:32.69
Internet you can
buy it, lot of health
00:43:32.70\00:43:34.90
food stores will have it or can
00:43:34.91\00:43:36.21
order it for you.
Then you want a one
00:43:36.22\00:43:39.28
pint jar, a flower
sack that won't let
00:43:39.29\00:43:43.74
the charcoal sift
through that's made out
00:43:43.75\00:43:45.96
of cotton, so it
is absorbent. You want
00:43:45.97\00:43:48.84
something to
thicken some of the charcoal
00:43:48.85\00:43:50.95
for some of these
applications we wanna
00:43:50.96\00:43:52.36
talk about,
cornstarch or ground flax seed
00:43:52.37\00:43:55.80
and then paper
towels, so that would
00:43:55.81\00:43:58.93
be our equipment.
It sounds pretty easy.
00:43:58.94\00:44:01.43
What type of
effect does the charcoal
00:44:01.44\00:44:03.34
have on the body?
Charcoal's main effect
00:44:03.35\00:44:06.45
is a, is a super
absorbent, it'll pull
00:44:06.46\00:44:10.33
all kinds of
toxins, gases, chemicals,
00:44:10.34\00:44:13.59
viruses, bacteria,
inflammatory fluids
00:44:13.60\00:44:16.22
out of the body,
because it absorbs
00:44:16.23\00:44:19.63
all of the surfaces
of all that charcoal.
00:44:19.64\00:44:22.30
So it's quite a
super absorbent. Excellent,
00:44:22.74\00:44:27.14
will you mention
some of the different
00:44:27.15\00:44:28.61
symptoms or
indications that's used for?
00:44:28.62\00:44:31.86
And so, let's
talk about a little bit
00:44:31.87\00:44:33.47
of how we use it to
treat those symptoms,
00:44:33.48\00:44:35.38
for instance the sore
throat, the body aches,
00:44:35.39\00:44:38.31
nausea, vomiting
and diarrhea, let's take
00:44:38.32\00:44:41.70
those symptoms.
What would you use
00:44:41.71\00:44:43.23
the charcoal for, how would you
00:44:43.24\00:44:44.59
address those
symptoms? Yeah, Amber there,
00:44:44.60\00:44:46.98
we're basically
talking about problems with
00:44:46.99\00:44:49.84
the elementary
tract, the mouth, esophagus,
00:44:49.85\00:44:53.42
stomach, intestines,
we're talking about the
00:44:53.43\00:44:56.09
whole system there
and so basically you
00:44:56.10\00:44:59.59
can take the
stuff by mouth and it
00:44:59.60\00:45:01.85
travels through
you and you know,
00:45:01.86\00:45:03.36
when it comes
out, 'cause it's black?
00:45:03.37\00:45:05.07
So, what I
usually do is I take two
00:45:05.88\00:45:08.49
tablespoons of the charcoal,
00:45:08.50\00:45:10.28
put it in a cup
of water, usually
00:45:10.29\00:45:14.16
I put it in a jar
that has little extra room,
00:45:14.17\00:45:16.22
so I can add the
charcoal and then
00:45:16.23\00:45:17.78
I shake it and it
mixes the charcoal in
00:45:17.79\00:45:20.73
with the water and
then I drink it down
00:45:20.74\00:45:23.20
and sometimes
you have two giggle
00:45:23.21\00:45:26.33
a little bit to
keep the charcoal in
00:45:26.34\00:45:28.07
suspension, but
drink it right down
00:45:28.08\00:45:29.90
and it's very
affective, I've used
00:45:29.91\00:45:33.04
this on people
who had other problems
00:45:33.05\00:45:35.28
with their
stomach, intestines and
00:45:35.29\00:45:37.66
it's very
affective, it's affective for
00:45:37.67\00:45:39.38
Crohn's disease,
it's affective for a lot
00:45:39.39\00:45:41.29
of different
problems people have,
00:45:41.30\00:45:43.49
but for the flu
it will help pull
00:45:43.50\00:45:46.31
inflammation out,
you see it comes down
00:45:46.32\00:45:48.28
the esophagus, it
goes right by the lungs
00:45:48.29\00:45:50.15
and heart, it
goes into the stomach
00:45:50.16\00:45:52.18
that's right by the
spleen and the pancreas,
00:45:52.19\00:45:55.12
the liver, it
goes right through the
00:45:55.13\00:45:56.96
small intestine and
large bell, and helps
00:45:56.97\00:46:00.47
to reduce the inflammation
00:46:00.48\00:46:01.71
these viruses are
causing, helps pick up
00:46:01.72\00:46:04.74
viruses and
carry them out as well.
00:46:04.75\00:46:06.67
Excellent, so it's
very affective, excellent.
00:46:06.68\00:46:09.39
Oh! Wow! Yeah, I
like you go first,
00:46:09.93\00:46:15.30
oh! Good I love
this stuff, don't take
00:46:15.31\00:46:19.12
it all away, yeah, now come on.
00:46:19.13\00:46:21.85
It's really
black and it get, oh!
00:46:22.85\00:46:24.95
This is good
stuff. Oh! Yes, wow!
00:46:24.96\00:46:30.74
There you go Amber,
thank you. Leave some
00:46:30.75\00:46:33.16
for the doc. Oh! Good stuff, you
00:46:33.17\00:46:39.28
can't keep the
kids out of these stuff.
00:46:39.29\00:46:40.82
Keep your cover
on tight. Still has
00:46:40.83\00:46:46.16
covers. Yeah, I
put my lid on here,
00:46:46.17\00:46:50.17
'cause I got to
shake this stuff up good.
00:46:50.18\00:46:51.83
Wow! Isn't that
pretty? Man, mouth
00:46:51.84\00:46:57.49
watering good. Look out when you
00:46:57.50\00:47:02.46
take the lid off
it might spit on you,
00:47:02.47\00:47:04.78
looks good,
okay, wow! Chug along,
00:47:04.79\00:47:09.98
yeah cheers, cheers okay.
00:47:09.99\00:47:14.32
Boy, great stuff. Nothing like
00:47:18.37\00:47:26.77
coloring the kettle
black. You finished up,
00:47:26.78\00:47:30.95
I'm real quick. I
don't fool around,
00:47:30.96\00:47:35.41
when I wanna
get rid of something
00:47:35.42\00:47:37.16
I do it fast. Alright, alright.
00:47:37.17\00:47:47.45
Everybody smile at the camera.
00:47:47.46\00:47:50.37
Well how about for inflammation
00:47:52.52\00:47:53.52
and swelling?
Yeah. How would you use
00:47:53.53\00:47:55.77
the charcoal to adjust those?
00:47:55.78\00:47:57.48
The inflammation
and swelling, depends on
00:47:57.49\00:48:00.44
how large an area
you want to treat,
00:48:00.45\00:48:02.54
what we want to do is make the
00:48:02.55\00:48:04.11
charcoal, so it will
basically stick to an
00:48:04.12\00:48:06.96
area, so it
doesn't just run out,
00:48:06.97\00:48:09.30
it's hard to use
charcoal that's in
00:48:09.31\00:48:11.15
this liquid we
just drank, well you
00:48:11.16\00:48:12.53
couldn't put that
on a body part. So,
00:48:12.54\00:48:14.44
you know, those of you who are
00:48:14.45\00:48:15.42
cooks you know,
mix it with something
00:48:15.43\00:48:17.10
you like to
thicken things in cooking,
00:48:17.11\00:48:18.97
we often use
cornstarch or ground
00:48:18.98\00:48:21.78
up flak seed and
the proportions will
00:48:21.79\00:48:24.73
be three
tablespoons of flak seed or,
00:48:24.74\00:48:27.43
or cornstarch to
three tablespoons
00:48:27.44\00:48:29.93
of charcoal. And
then add enough water
00:48:29.94\00:48:33.72
about a cup to
make a good amount
00:48:33.73\00:48:35.84
of charcoal
poultice and heat it up,
00:48:35.85\00:48:38.24
So it thickens And you don't
00:48:38.25\00:48:39.75
necessarily
want this stuff right
00:48:39.84\00:48:41.03
on your skin. You
don't have to have
00:48:41.04\00:48:42.89
it on your skin,
it will still work,
00:48:42.90\00:48:44.12
it doesn't have
to be touching the
00:48:44.13\00:48:45.48
skin believe it
or not. When I first
00:48:45.49\00:48:47.88
heard that I kind
of wondered about that,
00:48:47.89\00:48:49.48
doesn't the stuff
have to touch your skin,
00:48:49.49\00:48:50.69
well the skin is
between, what ever
00:48:50.70\00:48:52.80
you're trying to
treat, so why not put some
00:48:52.81\00:48:54.09
amount there, in
between do. And so,
00:48:54.10\00:48:57.37
what I do is take a paper towel,
00:48:57.38\00:49:00.29
one that's of some
good integrity that
00:49:00.30\00:49:01.78
won't just fall
apart, take your charcoal
00:49:01.79\00:49:03.77
mixer you just
made and spread it over
00:49:03.78\00:49:05.90
that paper towel
or as big area as
00:49:05.91\00:49:08.01
you're trying
to treat and put it
00:49:08.02\00:49:10.17
about a quarter of
an inch thick and then
00:49:10.18\00:49:12.11
fold in the edges
of the paper towel
00:49:12.12\00:49:14.11
over it or put
another paper towel over it,
00:49:14.12\00:49:16.07
so that you
basically have the charcoal,
00:49:16.08\00:49:18.80
so it won't get
away from you and
00:49:18.81\00:49:20.28
get on everything. And then take
00:49:20.29\00:49:22.20
that poultice and
place it over the area
00:49:22.21\00:49:25.43
you're trying to
treat. And in this case
00:49:25.44\00:49:29.37
we might do this
over the whole abdomen
00:49:29.38\00:49:31.56
or chest, if
they're really getting a lot
00:49:31.57\00:49:34.12
of trouble with
their lungs and chest
00:49:34.13\00:49:35.89
this will pull
the inflammation out
00:49:35.90\00:49:37.61
of the plural
linings even out of the lungs
00:49:37.62\00:49:40.02
very effective, and
so for the influenza
00:49:40.03\00:49:42.28
where you might
be having respiratory
00:49:42.29\00:49:44.46
distress then
using this charcoal on
00:49:44.47\00:49:48.26
the chest or even the back could
00:49:48.27\00:49:50.42
be very affective, could be the
00:49:50.43\00:49:51.72
last ditch
measure, when the patient's
00:49:51.73\00:49:55.08
doing well. Okay,
and talk about treating
00:49:55.09\00:49:57.92
inflammation. Can you
talk a little bit more
00:49:57.93\00:49:59.60
about treating
inflammation the eyes
00:49:59.61\00:50:01.05
and chest and abdomen area?
00:50:01.06\00:50:02.47
You know, the
eyes are very important
00:50:02.48\00:50:04.45
that actually an
extension of the brain
00:50:04.46\00:50:06.30
out in front of
your head, so there
00:50:06.31\00:50:09.80
are one of the few
places you can access
00:50:09.81\00:50:11.55
the brain easily
and these patients get
00:50:11.56\00:50:14.62
inflammation of
the brain meningitis,
00:50:14.63\00:50:16.99
they get brain
edema. Patients who were
00:50:17.00\00:50:19.48
all top seed from
the bird flu in 1918
00:50:19.49\00:50:21.82
had their brain
swollen, the rogue
00:50:21.83\00:50:23.98
or the grooves in
the brain had almost
00:50:23.99\00:50:26.09
disappeared with
so much swelling.
00:50:26.10\00:50:27.76
And so during a
charcoal treatment over
00:50:27.77\00:50:31.57
the eyes both
for the pain of the
00:50:31.58\00:50:34.49
headaches and for
the eye pain and for
00:50:34.50\00:50:36.92
the brain, so that
can be very affective.
00:50:36.93\00:50:38.55
And the way I
would do this, we would
00:50:39.18\00:50:42.10
do this kind of
like what we call
00:50:42.11\00:50:43.53
a charcoal
fomentation. A charcoal
00:50:43.54\00:50:46.65
fomentation is basically where
00:50:46.66\00:50:48.69
instead of using a
gel pack; we're using
00:50:48.70\00:50:50.63
a charcoal pack,
okay. So, this is what
00:50:50.64\00:50:53.03
I use those flower
sacks for I mentioned
00:50:53.04\00:50:55.63
earlier that
people needed to have
00:50:55.64\00:50:57.08
in their armamentarium of stuff
00:50:57.09\00:50:58.85
to treat people with. Take these
00:50:58.86\00:51:01.31
flower sacks,
fill them with enough
00:51:01.32\00:51:04.39
charcoal that they can cover the
00:51:04.40\00:51:06.03
area to be
treated and then dip them
00:51:06.04\00:51:08.53
in hot or cold
water, depending on
00:51:08.54\00:51:10.93
what effect you
want, so for the eyes
00:51:10.94\00:51:13.05
and the brain
you're trying to take
00:51:13.06\00:51:15.53
the extra blood
away from the eyes
00:51:15.54\00:51:18.90
and brain
anyway, I would do either
00:51:18.91\00:51:21.08
heating a leg pack or the hot
00:51:21.09\00:51:25.44
foot bath,
probably the hot foot bath
00:51:25.45\00:51:27.29
is the easiest, have the patient
00:51:27.30\00:51:28.96
all set up with
this and then take this
00:51:28.97\00:51:31.02
charcoal
fomentation and dip it in
00:51:31.03\00:51:33.03
cold water and
put it over the eyes
00:51:33.04\00:51:35.99
in front of face
on the forehead and
00:51:36.00\00:51:38.97
have some way
of holding it there
00:51:38.98\00:51:40.61
and that will be your
cold, cold application,
00:51:40.62\00:51:43.64
but it also
pulled the inflammation
00:51:43.65\00:51:45.69
and extra
swelling out of the eyes,
00:51:45.70\00:51:47.85
out of the brain,
out of the front part
00:51:47.86\00:51:49.97
of the head. In
order to treat these
00:51:49.98\00:51:52.96
inflammatory
problems very affective, for
00:51:52.97\00:51:55.37
the chest you could
use the fomentation,
00:51:55.38\00:51:57.41
when you're
doing, with hot you could
00:51:57.42\00:51:59.29
a charcoal
fomentation a bigger flower
00:51:59.30\00:52:01.51
sack or bag or
whatever with this charcoal
00:52:01.52\00:52:03.71
in and or you could do it over
00:52:03.72\00:52:05.23
the abdomen and, and pelvis for
00:52:05.24\00:52:07.22
the inflammation
down there, which
00:52:07.23\00:52:09.16
patients often
complain of. So, a very
00:52:09.17\00:52:11.95
affective way of
treating them this
00:52:11.96\00:52:13.40
actually making
a charcoal into a
00:52:13.41\00:52:15.00
fomentation and
taking advantage of its
00:52:15.01\00:52:17.37
absorptive
properties in the process.
00:52:17.38\00:52:19.89
Excellent, any
precautions for using
00:52:19.90\00:52:23.19
charcoal in this
manner? There is no
00:52:23.20\00:52:26.52
major precautions,
but it is true that
00:52:26.53\00:52:29.24
charcoal put in
any kind of wound
00:52:29.25\00:52:31.11
can accumulate
there as remaining there
00:52:31.12\00:52:33.53
for a long time
and you might end up
00:52:33.54\00:52:35.45
with you know with
tattoo. And the tattoo
00:52:35.46\00:52:39.07
wouldn't be
good because patients
00:52:39.08\00:52:40.93
remember you that
way for a long time,
00:52:40.94\00:52:42.76
it might not be a
pleasant to memory,
00:52:43.24\00:52:45.18
that's right, at
least do they survive
00:52:45.19\00:52:47.13
maybe would be a
worthy, maybe would
00:52:47.14\00:52:48.34
be a, a mark of distinction,
00:52:48.35\00:52:49.99
there you go. Well,
some times it hard to
00:52:50.00\00:52:53.61
understand with all
these symptoms of the
00:52:53.62\00:52:55.99
patient is going
through you know,
00:52:56.00\00:52:57.56
they come in and are they just
00:52:57.57\00:52:59.84
with the fever,
and the chills, and the
00:52:59.85\00:53:02.11
ache or have they
progressed to coughing
00:53:02.12\00:53:06.19
and perhaps the inflammation,
00:53:06.20\00:53:09.05
the redness behind the eyes,
00:53:09.06\00:53:10.29
the headaches,
the abdominal pain or
00:53:10.30\00:53:11.91
have they progressed actual
00:53:11.92\00:53:13.37
blood in the
nose and the rectum,
00:53:13.38\00:53:15.75
is there any
type of method to the
00:53:15.76\00:53:18.51
madness you
know, what do I address
00:53:18.52\00:53:20.17
first, what do I
you know, they come
00:53:20.18\00:53:22.28
in with all these
symptoms, which way
00:53:22.29\00:53:23.65
do we go? I think the protocol
00:53:23.66\00:53:25.27
we use for
trauma would work well
00:53:25.28\00:53:27.62
and a little
adaption to the flu, okay.
00:53:27.63\00:53:30.96
And in, in the
trauma we have what
00:53:30.97\00:53:33.32
we called the
ABCs and then we also
00:53:33.33\00:53:35.89
good on of about
little farther than that.
00:53:35.90\00:53:38.16
And the first
thing I would say is make
00:53:38.55\00:53:40.96
sure they have a
good airway, and in this
00:53:40.97\00:53:43.62
case when they're
coughing up, vomiting,
00:53:43.63\00:53:45.79
when they're
bleeding or so forth,
00:53:45.80\00:53:47.80
or just starting
out the flu, just make
00:53:47.81\00:53:50.28
sure that they have
a good access to air
00:53:50.29\00:53:53.13
through their
nose and their mouth.
00:53:53.14\00:53:54.29
The next thing
is there, are they
00:53:54.89\00:53:56.54
breathing well and
this is little more
00:53:56.55\00:53:59.19
involved in with
the trauma situation
00:53:59.20\00:54:01.36
'cause we're talking
about the lungs here.
00:54:01.37\00:54:03.26
And all the
things that can happen
00:54:03.54\00:54:05.38
to lungs, the
flu especially knocks
00:54:05.39\00:54:07.45
out the lungs,
we're talking about blood
00:54:07.46\00:54:09.81
in lungs, we're talking about
00:54:09.82\00:54:10.98
inflammation that they called
00:54:10.99\00:54:12.37
cytokine storm, in this case you
00:54:12.38\00:54:15.45
can start
applying your hydrotherapy
00:54:15.46\00:54:17.40
measures that
will affect the lungs,
00:54:17.41\00:54:20.05
fomentations,
contrast fomentations,
00:54:20.06\00:54:23.58
charcoal
fomentations over the chest,
00:54:23.59\00:54:25.67
steam inhalation,
getting the airways
00:54:25.77\00:54:28.66
cleaned out and
the mucous moving.
00:54:28.67\00:54:31.50
We're talking
about during the things
00:54:31.51\00:54:33.89
that we learned here today
00:54:33.90\00:54:35.01
that will help
the lungs, walking out
00:54:35.02\00:54:37.79
in the fresh air
is also about keeping
00:54:37.80\00:54:40.21
the lungs, okay,
going well. And so,
00:54:40.22\00:54:42.48
getting the
breathing going, maximizing
00:54:42.49\00:54:44.78
the breathing,
making the lungs as healthy
00:54:44.79\00:54:46.59
as possible, that
was even the nutrients
00:54:46.60\00:54:48.32
we talked about in
the prevention session
00:54:48.33\00:54:50.70
on what to eat and order to keep
00:54:50.71\00:54:52.96
the lungs from
becoming susceptible to
00:54:52.97\00:54:54.90
cytokine storm,
keeping the lungs
00:54:54.91\00:54:57.20
from going into
major melt down yes,
00:54:57.21\00:55:02.20
the inflammation.
The third thing to see
00:55:02.21\00:55:04.99
is circulation, well
start out with making
00:55:05.00\00:55:07.44
through the
heart is working well,
00:55:07.45\00:55:08.82
make sure that
their breathing well
00:55:08.83\00:55:10.73
when we talked about that and
00:55:10.74\00:55:12.20
then the
circulation we're talking
00:55:12.21\00:55:14.76
about the
peripheral circulation is
00:55:14.77\00:55:16.76
they having this
blueness, we talked
00:55:16.77\00:55:19.03
about the mitten
friction, foot baths
00:55:19.04\00:55:21.57
and the leg
packs are very helpful
00:55:21.58\00:55:23.71
for getting a circulation,
00:55:23.72\00:55:24.78
decompressing the extra blood
00:55:24.79\00:55:26.33
that's collecting in the lungs,
00:55:26.34\00:55:27.91
heart and head
and pulling it away,
00:55:27.92\00:55:30.74
balancing the
circulation in this
00:55:30.75\00:55:32.98
way, the, the tappet-bath or the
00:55:32.99\00:55:35.69
warm bath. And
so, everything we can
00:55:35.70\00:55:38.51
do to get the circulation going
00:55:38.71\00:55:40.16
is important.
There is also the fact
00:55:40.20\00:55:42.37
that we talked
about water, drinking
00:55:42.38\00:55:44.52
water if you're
vessels aren't full
00:55:44.53\00:55:46.34
of water, your
body has a hard time
00:55:46.35\00:55:48.35
juggling varying
the little bit of water
00:55:48.36\00:55:49.86
you have goes.
Then we have the D,
00:55:49.87\00:55:52.34
which we call the
doctors, we're called
00:55:52.35\00:55:55.78
that the eight natural doctors.
00:55:55.79\00:55:57.67
Remember in the
second session we
00:55:57.68\00:55:59.66
outline those
quite specifically and
00:55:59.67\00:56:02.96
so I would go to
those eight natural
00:56:02.97\00:56:04.32
doctors, once you've taken care
00:56:04.33\00:56:05.72
of the airway
breathing circulation,
00:56:05.73\00:56:07.52
then concentrate
on the eight natural
00:56:07.53\00:56:10.07
remedies that are
both for prevention
00:56:10.08\00:56:13.42
and for cure.
And I think if you're
00:56:13.43\00:56:15.43
follow this outline you'll have
00:56:15.44\00:56:17.32
a good you know,
sequence that you
00:56:17.33\00:56:20.49
can follow up for
treating any patient
00:56:20.50\00:56:22.46
that's coming down with the more
00:56:22.47\00:56:24.13
severe symptoms of bird flu
00:56:24.14\00:56:26.35
Okay, can you give
us a little bit of the
00:56:26.36\00:56:28.16
summary of that
what we've talked about
00:56:28.17\00:56:29.36
today Dr.
Clark? As with the 1918
00:56:29.37\00:56:32.80
Bird Flu, medical
science has his limits.
00:56:32.81\00:56:35.22
There is only so
many of us doctors
00:56:35.23\00:56:36.91
around, there is
only so many facilities
00:56:36.92\00:56:39.15
or few are beds
now available than
00:56:39.16\00:56:40.94
it was in 1918
due to manage care
00:56:40.95\00:56:43.13
cutting the
amount of time people
00:56:43.14\00:56:44.59
spend in the
hospital and the reasons
00:56:44.60\00:56:46.16
they can be
admitted. And so, you
00:56:46.17\00:56:48.07
want to make sure
that you have a way
00:56:48.08\00:56:50.70
to treat yourself
at home. The seasonal
00:56:50.71\00:56:53.20
flu is bad enough,
bird flu progresses
00:56:53.21\00:56:56.65
to viral or even
bacterial pneumonia,
00:56:56.66\00:56:59.33
cyanosis, and
death. And so, it's
00:56:59.34\00:57:02.47
something you
want to stop in its
00:57:02.48\00:57:03.98
tracks long before
it approaches death.
00:57:03.99\00:57:06.42
Prevention is
the best treatment,
00:57:07.11\00:57:09.43
but once you think you might be
00:57:09.44\00:57:11.55
coming down with the flu
00:57:11.56\00:57:12.81
then you wanna
use the eight natural
00:57:12.82\00:57:15.11
doctors, you wanna
do some of the early
00:57:15.12\00:57:17.70
hot and cold
showers that we talked
00:57:17.71\00:57:19.29
about charcoal, if
it progresses then we
00:57:19.30\00:57:22.64
want you to use hydrotherapy and
00:57:22.65\00:57:24.91
basically you're
trying to get the
00:57:24.92\00:57:26.46
circulation
going well throughout
00:57:26.47\00:57:28.53
the body or the
hydrotherapy then is
00:57:28.54\00:57:30.27
our way of
increasing immune system,
00:57:30.28\00:57:32.39
getting white
count up, getting the
00:57:32.40\00:57:34.55
blood circulating evenly through
00:57:34.56\00:57:35.94
the body, getting
away from congested
00:57:35.95\00:57:37.79
areas because perfect health
00:57:37.80\00:57:39.67
depends on? Perfect circulation.
