Earth Energy – Crystal Healing

People from all over the world have been mesmerized by the beauty of stones and crystals. The power of crystals is said to lie in their ability to focus and transmit energy — particularly thoughtforms. It is believed that crystals can be charged with energy and directed into a chosen object or person. Crystals are often used for healing, on both the physical and the psychological level.

How to Use Crystals

These mystical rocks obtained from the earth’s powerful energies of sun, earth, wind and fire, are extremely simple and easy to use. Following are some examples of crystal healing therapy.

• If you wish to heal a particular body area, lie down in a comfortable position, close your eyes and breathe deeply. Place the appropriate crystal over the body area you are treating. When you are relaxed, imagine the energy of the crystal flowing into you. Repeat the words or affirmations in your mind for the positive outcome that you would like to attain.

• Wear the crystals either on a necklace or bracelet, or even place them in your pocket. The energy of the crystals will radiate through your physical and emotional being bringing about your most desired outcome. Let only people with good energy touch your crystal, as crystals tend to retain energy when touched.

• Place your crystals in your house, in your office, beside your hospital bed or treatment area, on your desk or even in your car.

• Try to leave crystals out in the full moon overnight in a tree, at least once a month. The energy of the full moon is able to cleanse the crystal of impurities.

Music is able to overcome the anxiety and fears of separateness in a world so often filled with hostility. It is the reassurance of harmony and meaning, the order and melody for our eternal universe.

Sound is a form of energy that is caused by the vibrations of objects and particles. When sound is combined with rhythm and harmonies, the result is music. Music is the universal human language – a route to deep healing and spiritual fulfillment. Sound and music therapy are the controlled use of music in the treatment of physical, emotional and mental disorders. The origins of healing by sound and music can be traced into the realms of myth and religion, and into prehistory and beyond, to the ancient memory of the soul.

Echinacea has gained its well-deserved reputation as a successful remedy and is used throughout the world for treating colds, flu’s and viruses. The North American Indians used Echinacea as a cure for snakebites and as an effective antiseptic. Echinacea is also known as coneflower, purple coneflower, black sampsom and snakeroot.

Echinacea’s use in the treatment of cancer is due to its incredible ability in enhancing the body’s immune system. One of its major components, inulin, promotes chemotaxis of neutrophils, monocytes and eosinophils (cancer-fighting cells) and solubization of viruses and bacteria. Other polysaccharides in Echinacea enhance the immune system by stimulating T-lymphocytes (white blood cells used to fight disease), the production of interferon and the secretion of lymphokines. One common side effect of chemotherapy and radiation therapy is the reduction of white blood cells. Echinacea is a useful herb for increasing white blood cell levels as is Ginseng.

Echinacea is a powerful anti-inflammatory with strong anti-viral properties.

Not only does it support the body’s immune system, it also helps to cleanse the lymphatic system. Its active ingredients are many and varied, including arabinose, betaine, copper, echinacen, echinacin B, echinacoside, echinolone, enzymes, fructose, fatty acids, galactose, glucose, glucuronic acid, inulin, inuloid, iron, polysaccharides, potassium, protein, resin, rhamnose, sucrose, sulphur, tannins and vitamins À, Ñ and E. Echinacea is truly a miraculous, nutrient-packed plant.

What is the best way to use Echinacea?

• Herbal tea — place 1 to 2 teaspoons of the root in one cup of water and bring it slowly to the

boil. Let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Try to drink at least 3 times per day.

• Tincture – take 1 to 4 ml of the tincture 3 times per day.

• Can also be obtained from a health food store in capsule, tablet or liquid form.

Essiac

Essiac is a combination of herbs that activates the body’s natural defenses, helps relieve pain and has anti-tumour properties. A Canadian Nurse, Renee Caisse (her last name is essiac spelt backwards), originally introduced it to the Western world. Ms Caisse claimed that the formula had been prescribed to her in 1922 by a patient whose breast cancer had been cured by a traditional Native American shaman in Ontario. Essiac is a combination of burdock root (53%), Indian or turkey rhubarb (3%), sheep sorrel (35%) and slippery elm (9%). Many people with cancer have credited it with extending and improving the quality of their lives.

Vast amounts of anecdotal evidence supporting the incredible health benefits of essiac are available, yet have been suppressed. It is highly probable that this misinformation campaign and the playing down of essiac’s healing benefits have been started by those with vested interests (e.g. pharmaceutical companies and the orthodox medical community). This has prevented the facts regarding its efficiency in healing from being acknowledged and accepted.

Essiac is believed to eliminate tumours and cancer. In almost every reported case, essiac significantly diminished the pain and suffering of persons afflicted with cancer and prolonged the life of cancer sufferers.

Essiac stimulates the body’s immune system and many people who have used it have reported better levels of health. Essiac is thought to increase energy levels, prevent fatigue and aid in the removal of cancer of the cervix. It is an excellent blood cleanser and liver tonic.

What is the best way to use essiac?

• Herbal tea – essiac can only be obtained through a naturopath, medical practitioner or

herbalist. 3 to 6 cups per day is normally recommended.

• Always take only as directed by a qualified health practitioner.

Carnitine is à Â vitamin found mostly in meat and it can be manufactured by the liver from two amino acids, lysine and methionine, and several other vitamins and minerals. Carnitine is needed for the transport of oxidation of fatty acids within the energy centers of human cells (mitochondria). In fact, the energy metabolism of cells is highly dependent on carnitine. Carnitine also plays a role in the effect of the thymus hormone on the metabolism of cells and their ability to multiply. This is very important with reference to white blood cells, the body’s first line of defense against infection and cancer.

Elderly people are virtually devoid of carnitine. It protects older people from damage to white blood cells caused from free radicals (cancer-causing substances). It has the ability to increase white blood cell proliferation (replicate themselves) especially in the elderly. Carnitine counteracts the damage certain fats do to the immune system. Chemotherapy destroys carnitine, expelling it in the urine especially in women, causing a marked loss in energy.

Carnitine and azelaic acid have been used to treat malignant melanoma by enhancing the transport of azelaic acid into cancer cells and facilitating their killing ability.

Carnitine protects against the toxic effects of the toxic cancer drug MGBG. It has been shown that carnitine levels are low in people with cancer. It also helps to maintain extremely high energy levels at all times in our life, especially during cancer treatment.

Good sources of carnitine include beef, liver and milk.

Cysteine

Cysteine is a sulphur-containing amino acid. It has a remarkable ability to scavenge gold, silver, arsenic, mercury aluminum, cadmium, lead and other heavy metals from tissues, which are then combined with glutathione and harmlessly eliminated from the body. Cysteine helps to prevent many forms of cancer. Alliin (a derivative of cysteine) prevents chemically-induced cancers

Cysteine increases the production of glutathione (a powerful cancer-fighting antioxidant) and helps to excrete toxic chemicals, tobacco smoke and environmental pollutants from the body. It is a major factor in two antioxidant systems, gluathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase.

Cysteine deactivates acetaldehyde, a toxic waste product from the liver’s metabolism of alcohol (also present in cigarette smoke and smog) and carbon tetrachloride. These harmful substances cause massive cell and liver damage, leading to cancer and death. Cysteine also protects the bronchial tubes from the damage caused by smoking cigarettes. It has an ability to protect against free radicals released during chemotherapy, at a dosage of 500mg, three to four times daily. Cysteine also protects the body against the toxic side effects of radiation damage.

Cysteine has powerful immune-stimulating effects and protects cells (neutrophils, macrophages and lymphocytes) from destruction of their own free radical release, which can lead to chronic infection and cancer. It is also able to enhance T cell counts. T cells are important in the defensive actions of the immune system. Cysteine successfully lowers high cholesterol levels.

This versatile amino acid works more effectively if taken with vitamin E and selenium.

Vitamin Bl helps to prevent cancer by detoxifying various carcinogenic chemicals from the body. Thiamine stimulates the body’s immune system and facilitates the formation of red blood cells. Being a powerful antioxidant, it counteracts the toxic effects of alcohol and acetaldehyde, and is able to detoxify some of the carcinogenic (harmful) compounds found in tobacco smoke.

Vitamin Bl improves the appetite, increases circulation, reduces nausea, prevents constipation and is essential for the production of energy — five major side effects of cancer treatment.

Good sources of vitamin Â1 include germ and bran of wheat, rice husks and the outer portion of grains, brewer’s yeast, blackstrap molasses, brown rice, nuts, soybeans, millet and lentils. Milled grains and rice, such as white flour and white rice, lose much of their vitamin Bl, so choose grains and rice that are not as highly processed. Of all of the fruits, avocado is the highest source of vitamin Â1.

Vitamin B2 – Riboflavin

Vitamin B2, or riboflavin, is an antioxidant which enhances cellular respiration. Vitamin B2 is necessary for red blood cell formation, antibody production and healthy cell growth. Together with vitamin A, it maintains and improves the mucous membranes in the digestive tract.

Vitamin B2 functions as the precursor or building block for two coenzymes that are important in energy production. Riboflavin is also instrumental in cellular respiration, helping each cell utilize oxygen most efficiently. Riboflavin helps with the absorption of iron and vitamin B6. Riboflavin may be effective in preventing cancer of the oesophagus.

One uncommon side effect of cancer treatment is eye problems such as burning eyes, excessive tearing and poor vision. Riboflavin helps to prevent and treat these unusual symptoms.

The most important food source of riboflavin is milk. One of the pigments in milk, lactoflavin, is the milk form of riboflavin. Other good sources include organ meats, whole or enriched grains and vegetables, torula yeast, brewer’s yeast, almonds, wheat germ, legumes, avocados, yogurt, dulse and nuts. Oily fish such as mackerel, trout, eel, and herring have substantial levels of riboflavin. Nori seaweed is another good source of riboflavin. Other foods with moderate amounts of riboflavin are dark leafy green vegetables, such as asparagus, broccoli, and spinach, as well as mushrooms and avocados.
