Vacuum Cups Cupping Deep Tissue Release Healing Pain Release

Cupping is an ancient energetic healing remedy that comes to us from traditional Chinese medicine. It is a technique that whereby cups are placed on your skin with suction to create a vacuum that is believed to influence the flow of life energy, also known as qi, and blood in your body.
The cups stay for a few seconds or until twenty minutes and release very quickly tight muscles. This is very good for severe cases such is as in great pain or in extreme loss of movement . The treatment is painless and may cancel the need for painkiller injections .

It is suitable for breathing problems ,
back-pain ,
headaches ,
neck problems ,
Sciatica ,
Frozen shoulder ,
Prolapsed disc ,
inflamation ,
colds .

It is especially good for back problems .

The effect of the cupping may leave marks on the person’s skin , but will clear after a few days . Due to this sometimes being a problem for some people , especially those conscious of the marks , if perhaps visible when going to the beach , or wearing a low neckline dress or shirt , for these situations there is also a method , known as “walking cups” this is where the cups are left on for only a few seconds in each place , giving some benefit without any marks .

Massage Backpain Aromatherapy Deep Relaxation Neckpain Migraines

The need for touch is basic for human beings and connected to deep levels of emotions and personality . Massage is an ancient art which balances the body and helps it to fight daily stress . Combining massage with aromatherapeutic oils increases its effect .The massage relaxes muscles , reduces pains in shoulders , neck and back , stimulates the lymph system allowing the body to get rid of poisons and toxins , and above all - it is a wonderful experience . The treatment can be combined with vacuum cups if the situation requires it .
Stress has a way of changing posture. As stress begins to tighten one's body, shoulders begin to roll forward, the chin lifts and the neck moves forward. This happens to all of us as the everyday pressures of life close in around us. When we are stressed our shoulders lift putting pressure on our neck. This pressure creates headaches and neck and shoulder pain. This condition is easily addressed by massage and three or four visits usually alleviate this stress. How often should you get a massage? Probably once a week, if you have never had a massage before.

Reset Teeth Grinding TMJ Tension Lock Jaw Release

Reset is a very enjoyable and relaxing procedure that works on the jaw and face. It is a hands on treatment . The patient is fully clothed, and is received lying down . It works through gentle pressure and energy work to release tensions in the muscles , tendons and nerves of the face and neck. It influences deeply on problems related with the TMJ ( temperal-mandibular joint)

The jaw influences the whole body including the skeleton, the muscles, the nerves, the meridians and the fluids.

Due to the important role the jaw plays in balancing the spine and the brain even the slightest pressure might influence the natural balance and send confusing signals to all the systems of the body.

In case of a car accident the jaw muscles tighten in order to protect the brain and spine. The pressure and the mental stress might still be stored in the joy, even years after the injury and cause a tense jaw.

Reset will balance the tight muscles and might also release emotions that have been stored for long time in the subconscious mind.


Reset helps for:
Inability to open the mouth after a dentist treatment
Bedwetting at night
Kids stomach-pains and insomnia
Exhaustion
Teeth grinding
Chronic noises in the jaw
Shoulder and neck pains
Pins and needles
Digestion problems
Fybromalgia
Headaches and sinus pains
Weak hearing
Migraines that don’t get better even after using pain killers
Severe jaw pains that radiates to the shoulder and neck, even causing postural changes

The word Reiki means Universal Life energy , Rei describes the universal , boundless aspect of this energy , the inner cosmic spark , and Ki , being the vital life force energy which flows through all living beings . It is defined as being that power which acts and lives in all created matter .

Raphael has been practicing Reiki for more than 14 years . He has done his 1st, 2nd and 3rd degrees in Reiki following the Usui technique and lineage. Reiki is a powerful but gentle way of restoring a person’s depleted energy and balancing natural energy within to promote healing , positive wellness , and wholeness . This safe and non-invasive therapeutic approach is received through the energy flowing through the hands of the practitioner . A treatment session lasts about one hour. It is usually carried out with the recipient remaining fully clothed laying on a therapy couch. However, treatment can also be given in a sitting position if the patient finds this more comfortable. The therapist gently places his or her hands in various positions, ultimately covering most of the body. Each position is held for up to 3 minutes. There is no pressure exerted, making Reiki an ideal treatment for the very young, elderly, pregnant women and those recovering from surgery. The whole body is treated, not just an isolated area. This enables the energy to go right to the source of the imbalance and not just to the manifesting symptom.

Kinesiology Allergy Emotional Balancing

Checking Through Kinesiology (MRT)

Muscle Response Testing (MRT) gives insight on what areas are to be treated .One will be able to find out the causes of allergies , physical , and emotional dis-ease . Muscle response testing is one of the tools we can use to detect allergies by 'reading' our body's reaction to a multitude of substances in the environment. Such as plants and pollens, molds, chemicals, fabrics, and even foods-and thus discover the underlying causes for a great many symptoms of illness.
Our central nervous system is like a giant computer controlling all the body's functions. When the central nervous system becomes aware that a 'toxic' substance has been contacted, it instantly alerts the body for action against a potential attack by this 'toxin'. This results in certain changes in the body's chemistry, one of which brings about a muscular weakness that can be physically detected and measured by a practitioner trained in the proper technique..
Treatment for allergies : Allergies can cause extreme discomfort , such as breathing problems, asthma , skin reactions , itching , diarrhea , red and watery eyes , uncontrollable sneezing , extreme tiredness , depression , anxiety , insomnia , etc . Once the materials have been identified through MRT , then by using the substances in the special balancing treatment , it neutralizes the reaction allowing the person to continue consuming/using that which caused him discomfort without anymore problems . The special balancing strengthens the bodies energetic system by using Chinese system of Meridians and a gentle physical treatment .

Treatment for physical , and emotional : Dealing with emotional and physical imbalance is approached similarly as the allergy treatment . By using MRT one can find the root of a person’s un-ease . The treatment may involve some psychological counseling , to bring to the surface what may be most troubling the client . Once opened then the person’s energetic system can be strengthened to dissolve the negative vibration from the area opened . The treatment is carried out over a period , working at the level suitable for each client

Ear Candling Ear Infections Excess Ear Wax

Ear candling is a simple but effective method for removing excess wax , infections and residuals of past infections . It involves the use of a hollow candle which resembles a straw coated with special wax . The small end of the candle is placed on the edge of a person’s ear and the large end is lit . The flame creates a vacuum in the ear and will pull out excess wax , fungus , bacteria , yeast/candida , ear mites worms or parasites into a hollow core of the candle . It may also draw fluids from the ears , sinuses and lymph glands .

Ear candling is good for chronical ear infections, sinus problems, headaches, plugged ears, bacteria, and is suitable for children with ear problems .

The treatment is painless and is combined with a neck and face massage , making it very pleasant , some to the point of drifting off to sleep .

Middle ear infections can result when bacteria or a virus invade the middle ear , inflammation and a build up of fluids causing the discomfort and danger of a ruptured ear drum .Children are particularly prone to middle-ear infections because of their eustachian tubes are short and infection can easily reach the middle ear .

People who cannot be candled –Those who have had recent ear , nose , throat , or sinus surgery of any kind , have tubes in their ears , or experience any bleeding . Bleeding denotes serious ear problems such as punctured ear drum and should see a doctor .

Hormonal Saliva Stool Candida Laboratory Testing

Are you tired of going from one doctor/therapist to another to treat your health complaints. Only to relieve some of the symptoms but you still don’t feel the energy like you did when you were a kid.
Then maybe after reading this you will understand how Functional Nutrition can be of help.
Functional Nutrition is a way to stop treating the symptoms and get to the root cause of your health problems. By using state of the art technology of laboratory testing of saliva, urine and stools helps to see into the core of a persons health issues and by treating the source we can help a person to recover from chronic illness and improve the quality of life.
The philosophy of Functional Nutrition works on four main body functions in achieving good health.: DIGESTION, DETOXIFICATION, HORMONALIC PATHWAYS, AND THE MUCOSAL BARRIER SYSTEMS.
Working with the client we help to identify the causes of internal stressors of the body causing many health problems such as : allergies, migraines , constipation, auto-immune diseases, and hormonal imbalances such as hot flashes , weight gain , mood swings , insomnia, sweating , physical pains . And for men also , after the age of 40, men can succumb to Andropause ( male menopause), with all the symptoms like women.
The body has an internal mechanism to deal with stress , known as the " fight or flight response" Originally this was to aid primitive man to survive when danger lurked all around. If life was good then only he/she would need rarely to use such a response where the adrenals would pump the needed adrenaline and cortisol to make him move. Unfortunately in our daily lives we have this stress on an ongoing basis. And not only external stressors but also many more problematic stressors , caused by poor nutrition, infections ,parasites, allergies , overworking , stimulants etc. eventually wearing down a persons immune system and health.
After identifying the areas that are problematic we start to return a person back to health using natural homeopathic hormones , eating correctly , choosing the correct foods that fits with a persons metabolic type, giving strong herbs, and special supplements, to eradicate parasites, candida and infections.And by following a modern technique , called D.R.E.S.S.system, all helps a person recover to better health.
Functional Nutrition is the way alternative medicine is moving . Many doctors in the USA are now using it after seeing the good results . Oprah Winfrey talked highly about the subject and it is helping many people with all ranges of health problems, maybe it could also help YOU.

IGG Antibody Food Sensitivity, Allergies and Intolerance Testing





It is well known how food can affect the mental , emotional and physical aspects of a person. In todays abundant variety of processed foods and relatively new ( less than 100 years) types of foods, it is apparent that many people are affected by what they eat. We do not eat a simple diet that our ancestors ate and man’s food has changed so profoundly that many people’s digestive systems have not adapted to the relatively new diet.
In recent studies it has been identified that the body’s immune system reacts to food intolerance . The food intolerance is connected with a wide range of uncomfortable and many chronic conditions. This food intolerance is not as severe as food allergies . People with food allergy could die from it .But food intolerance symptoms can be subtle to downright painful and debilitating.

It is estimated that 2% of the population suffer with food allergies and up to 45% have some form of food intolerance.

The symptoms can erupt any time after consumption, from 10 minutes to a few days and it is difficult to identify the food responsible . In the case of an example milk intolerance symptoms can be caused by lack of enzymes or a chemical reaction and others may trigger an immune response. Food intolerance can cause an immune response, triggering the bodies antibodies. Food intolerance may be caused by weak digestion, dysbiosis, candidiasis, parasites, intestinal infections, bad diet, alcohol, or medications. The job of the antibodies is to join with the proteins in the food and be eliminated. However sometimes a person’s immune system is weak or overwhelmed, and the body cannot remove these particles and they can build up in the joints, or digestive tract to produce the following symptoms of food intolerance:

Digestive tract ; gas, abdominal bloating, water retention, cramps, nausea, vomiting, constipation or loose stools, weight issues, acidity.
Respiratory; rhinitis, sinusitis, and asthma, over production of phlegm.
Musculoskeletal ; joint inflammation, pains, muscle pains, and weakness.
Central nervous system; depression, anxiety, fatigue, hyperactivity, migraine and headache, lack of concentration, mood and behavioural changes.
Skin; excema, itchy skin, rashes, urticaria, atopic dermatitis.
The reaction can be immediate after the offending food has been consumed or appear three days after and may last for weeks .It can be very hard to identify the problem food thus it can be very helpful to observe the amount of food antibodies in a blood sample. When there are antibodies of IGg produced by the body it will show on the food listed on the test.
Once identified by the “Food Detective “ kit then a diet free of the culprit foods can help to alleviate symptoms . When the body can rest and allow healing to take place in the gut then after 3 months these foods may be individually reintroduced into the diet with care and observation for symptoms . If there are recurring symptoms then that food must be again discontinued, and be rechecked at certain time intervals.
It is recommended that all the foods showing antibodies in the test be avoided and then reintroduced after 3 months.
The test maybe carried out at home using instructions, or be made at the clinic by Raphael during another treatment.

Personal Nutritional Therapy For Dieting And Health

Metabolic Typing is the way for customized nutrition and is based on the fact that there is no universally healthy diet that is right for all people. Anyone can use Metabolic Typing to find out exactly which foods are good for their health, and those that are not.

Through computer analysis, Metabolic Typing interprets and understands body language, which is the body's means of communicating its physical, mental, emotional and behavioral characteristics.

Metabolic Typing is based on the understanding that although there are tens of thousands of biochemical reactions that take place in your body every day, they all fall under the control of only a few Fundamental Homeostatic Controls. Metabolic Typing recognizes 9 such control mechanisms and uses them to evaluate and determine each person's Metabolic Type.

Metabolic Typing explains why it is that a given diet/nutritional therapy works for one patient, has little or no effect on another, and can actually worsen a third. Metabolic Typing explains why two people with the same disease require biochemically opposite approaches to get well. Metabolic Typing explains why it is that for every book that says one thing about nutrition, you can find another book that says the opposite. Metabolic Typing reveals why there will never be one diet that is right for everyone and why a given diet will cause one to lose weight, while another to gain weight. Metabolic Typing explains how someone can eat organic foods, take the best supplements money can buy, exercise regularly, sleep well, and still not feel well.

These answers and many, many more may be found in The Healthexcel System of Metabolic Typing, based on 25 years of research in the exciting field of customized nutrition through Metabolic Typing. And through eating the foods that fit a persons type , one will naturally lose weight and feel more energy and be on the road to better health.

Haunted Houses Negative Energy Spiritual Cleaning and Protection Article

Houses are places that can collect negative energies and entities that are damaging to health. When a home has been lived in for several years , the energies of previous tenants can remain within the structure and future residents can unknowingly be affected by this.

The negative energies can be from years of anger or abuse within a family , after time it becomes like a sticky mist and like a fridge magnet can stick to the surfaces of the home .

When someone dies , sometimes the spirit may be confused and remain in the house not understanding that they have passed on . Both can cause havoc for people living in the house after , resulting in health problems , strange unexplainable things breaking , electrical appliances stopping , computers are highly sensitive to house energies. Also pets may be disturbed as happened to one house I balanced ( story attached).

Children are highly sensitive to these energies and can be affected with constant recurring colds or illnesses.

Our bodies are +ve charged and being around –ve charged energy weakens our immune system and can cause illness and lower wellbeing.

When I balance a home I first check if it is necessary to perform an energetic cleaning . Maybe there are other reasons not caused by negative energy or entities.

A house cleaning can normally take one balance but may need again aperiod after , sort of a top-up. This can be checked.

A house cleaning is beneficial for new homes and second hand as both can be " infected" by negative energies .

Please feel free to phone me and to discuss your personal situation. A home should be place of peace and sanctuary from our fast and hectic lives.
