Cellulite...

Cellulite, oh that cellulite

Not many things have quite the same impact on a modern womans physical self-image, than the discovery of the first dimpled skin surfaces starting on the hips, abdomen and inner thighs.

The oh, no! reaction is not only because cellulite is being perceived as unsightly and it makes one look fat, but the seemingly hopeless attempts by experts to find an effective remedy for the condition.

Cellulite has been likened to the Natal roach, once it arrives, it is here to stay.
The medical and non-medical experts have many theories on the cellulite issue, but after years of arguments the desired end results are few.I would never include myself within the ranks of experts on cellulite, as firstly I do not have any orthodox medical training, and pharmaceutical drugs are not an area I have ever had a desire to visit.But I am a passionate professional in my field, and within my field I collected observations and practical experience regarding cellulite.

I began learning massage at the age of five, taught by my blessed Mother. She suffered from painful varicose veins in both legs, where she found great relief in massage as an easing medium. As she could not afford a masseur or masseuse, the dear Soul hit on the idea to teach me this magnificent healing art. This was over half a century ago.

You might ask here, what has my biography got to do with cellulite? I will ask you to bear with me, as my personal story contains a few interesting and out-of-the-box observations all connected to our main subject.

I was doing my massage duties with great gusto on Moms legs, loving every moment hearing her ooohs and aaahs, as not only her pains eased, but I was ecstatic that she enjoyed my treatment so much. Very soon, I was massaging just about every female member of the wider family and friendship circle. Of course everyone thought that I was such a cute kid with my enthusiasm, so my massages soon became a standard thing whenever friends or family came to visit. There was an interesting and commonly noticed result emerging. The people I massaged began to not only to feel better, but they ceased to suffer from a number of previous ailments and various chronic problems, where doctors and medicines proved to be unsuccessful before. They also seemed to become happier, smile more, become less argumentative, angry, or confrontational.

This is how it came about, that through the above circumstances I had an early, unique and delightfully fascinating opportunity to observe, touch, work with and learn about the female body of different ages, forms, shapes and types.

Now, as I hope I have presented sufficient credentials of my observing-the-female-body experience, I would like to share a personal discovery. My early introduction to the female body occurred between the 1955-65 period. The observation included women of Eastern European, Central European, Western European and Scandinavian nationalities.

Well, this long story of mine so far was necessary to be able to say the following:



I DO NOT HAVE A RECOLLECTION OF EVER HAVING SEEN CELLULITE ON ANYONE AT THAT TIME!!!

Within my female massage clientele of today, in 2008, cellulite is prevalent in 6-7 women out of 10!

My very young ability of observation and the numbers of the women I could observe those many years ago might not have been sufficient for an officially accepted statistical survey, but when these memories came back to me, I instinctively felt that there is a definitive significance here that should not be disregarded.

Regarding prevalence of cellulite, what happened between 1955 and 2008???

It is not very difficult to find major differences between 1955 and 2008, differences which would promote not only cellulite, but many other negative changes in our bodies (and mind).
1. Nutrition (or the lack of)
2. Exercise (or the lack of)
3. Stress factors
4. Pollution
5. Deliberately introduced toxic chemicals in our food, GM foods, toxins in water and drinking fluids, hygiene and body-care products
6. Synthetic, toxic and excessive medical and pharmaceutical drugs and medicines
Nutrition. Well, in the fifties we ate a lot more vegetables and fruit grown with natural means. Food in general was unprocessed or minimally processed. That means, that natures minerals and vitamins were intact in the foods we had. Spices were the main preservative medium, not synthetic chemicals.Today, our food is so over-processed, that most vitamins and minerals are absent in our daily intake.

Exercise. To rebuild Europe after the ravages and madness of World War ll. demanded hard work from everybody, including a lot of physical work for most. People did not have private cars, walking was a part of life. In 2008, we drive to work, sit in an office, drive home, and sit in front of the television set. Only a minority of the population make use of the local gym.

Stress. 50 years ago life was demanding to create a better life, often hard and harsh in many respects, but the high degree of self-created mental and psychological stresses of today were not as prevalent.

Pollution. After WW II., industry and its demands for power was just starting up, so carbon and mercury emissions, nuclear waste and radiation, ozone layer destruction and EMF emissions were either minimal or non-existent yet. Dirty power stations, massive car population increase, polluted oceans, microwave ovens and Chernobyl came later*.

Chemicals. In the last 50 years over 10 000 (some say much more) different chemicals and synthetic substances have been introduced into our food and water, and into products we use on (and in) our bodies. The function of these materials is not to make our food more nutritious or beneficial, but to make us eat more (MSG), make it cheaper, artificially look and taste better, have a longer shelf life and of course to make more profits for the food corporates. Farmers are forced to grow Genetically Modified (GM) food crops in the USA and other places, demanded by law, partly because top government figures are major shareholders in the chemical industries. Today, legalised toxic material can be found in 95% of food products, even higher in cosmetics and body care material. More than half of the same chemicals have been proven as carcinogenic (causing cancer), but they are still legal, approved by governmental bodies, such as the Food and Drug Administration (USA)!
Result: over 60% percent of the population in the USA is obese, overweight and is in ill health!

Medical and Pharmaceutical Drugs. Because drugs are made to have an instant effect (but short term), and for this reason they have been artificially concentrated thousands of times in comparison of what can be found in nature, they are toxins. As long as drugs are synthetic and made to address only separate body parts, systems or organs, not the complete human system of Body-Mind-Spirit concept, they are toxins. That is why medical and pharmaceutical drugs will all cause unwanted side effects.

So all of the above points can and will be a major contributing factor for cellulite. Naturally there can be a number of other causes too, but that would be beyond the space allotted to this article.

At this point let us look at a process of how to eliminate cellulite:

MASSAGE. As cellulite consists of mainly fat tissue, it tends to be a static and lazy mass, with a habit to attract and retain toxins. In my long experience, frequent massage is the first and main tool needed to be applied to move and manipulate the cellulite tissue, to enhance circulation in the area, and then in time the fatty tissue begins to change and breaks up. The massage should not only care for the cellulite areas, it needs to be a full body experience to improve the circulation throughout the whole body, while de-stressing and relaxing the person physically, mentally and emotionally.

AROMATHERAPY OILS are wonderfully effective in the long term massage treatment for cellulite. For aromatherapists I recommend the following mixture:

500ml Base oil (Grape Seed or Sweet Almond)
15ml Fennel
5ml Black Pepper
15ml Juniper Berry
15ml Cyprus
15ml Grapefruit

The essential oils used are in a 3% ratio each (1% for Black Pepper) with the Base Oil volume. Before massage (naturally, including lymphatic drainage), it is important that the client is well hydrated, as lymphatic glands will be stimulated by not only by the physical manipulation, but also by the aromatic mixture.

NUTRITION. It is of great importance! The old motto: we are what we eat is true. It is recommended to consult a good nutritionist, who can also assess the individuals specific circumstances and advise on the most suitable food regimen. Drink as much pure water every day as you comfortably can. Try to aim for 8 glasses.

EXERCISE. This is a major! The main point about exercise is not about weight loss or even condition. It is about getting our Lymphatic System into action, as the lymph glands get stimulated by physical movement to remove all those artificial toxins and chemicals (preservatives, food colourants etc.) which irresponsible food producers taint our food with. For some obscure reason doctors never explain this properly to their patients. With exercise, we prevent toxins to feed the cellulite.

REDUCE SALT INTAKE. Your doctor will tell you to reduce your salt intake, but you are not told the real reason why. Salt, i.e. table salt which is being sold to you in every supermarket is not salt as nature supplies it, but it is INDUSTRIAL SODIUM CHLORIDE, used for industrial chemicals and preservative processes! 99% of all salt available worldwide falls into this category. All natural minerals have been removed from it, and replaced by a host of toxic chemicals to suit industrial needs, not for human consumption. But it is cheap and it runs better. So keep away from it!
Now let me tell you about real SALT, a gift to us from Mother Nature. It is called Rock Salt, more exactly Tibetan Mountain Rock Salt. Your system will love it and you need very little to be effective. Available in Health Shops, or you can buy pure sea salt, also good, in larger supermarkets.

MAGNESIUM, VITAMINS AND MINERAL SUPPLEMENTS. As you do know by now, we are not able to receive our needed minerals and vitamins from our daily food intake. Below is an essential mineral and vitamin protocol, which is not only going to assist to eliminate cellulite, but we also use it to heal cancer and other challenges where orthodox medicine gets stuck. It is not known by the public, that the same minerals and vitamins are being applied by Emergency Rooms and ICUs in hospitals around the world when lives are needed to be saved**. Yes, when the chips are down, not drugs, but I.V. drips containing essential natural minerals and vitamins are being used by orthodox medicine! Most of these minerals are available from your friendly local supermarket for next to nothing. These life-saving items being in their natural form cannot be patented or branded, so they are cheap (once the patient has been stabilised and transferred to the hospital wards, then the drugs take over and the real money needs to be made!).

Magnesium Oil. Magnesium is the most important mineral, as it is the key for other minerals to be absorbed in the body. Seawater has the best magnesium content. With magnesium deficiency, a deficiency of other minerals will also be prevalent. We all suffer from magnesium deficiency, because frequent swimming in the sea is the only effective magnesium intake (transdermal) for the body. Ever seen a sick surfer or fisherman? Oral intake of magnesium is not effective, as the acid in the stomach neutralises the mineral. Therefore magnesium is supplied in a solution format, called Magnesium Oil, to be applied to skin mainly in the armpit and groin areas for best absorbance. As medical practitioners are not clear about magnesiums sensitivity of stomach acid, they only know about magnesium in capsule form, Magnesium Oil is an unknown term for them.
As this information is generally not known, Magnesium Oil is not easily available yet. However I do supply it to anyone who requires it. Comes as body spray, apply after shower every morning. No more deodorants needed (especially not from aluminium spray bottles, since aluminium is highly toxic for a human body!)!

Sodium Bicarbonate (bicarbonate of soda) is the next mineral of importance. Due to those many chemicals in our processed foods and beverages (Colas, fizzy drinks and of course junk food being the worst offenders), us Westerners suffer from chronic acidic pH levels in our bodies. This causes a host of ailments, imbalances; from gout to digestive problems and so many others. Sodium Bicarbonate is a natural and the most effective mineral to shift the system into alkaline levels. One is looking for an ideal 7.4 pH level to achieve good health. Take half a teaspoonsful in half a glass of water twice a day. Tastes a bit metallic, so drink another glass of water afterwards. Your body becomes wonderfully alkaline in no time.
The good news is, again, that this mineral is cheap and available everywhere. It is also a wonderful household cleaning agent and better than toothpaste brushing your teeth. No more fluoride or any other toxic chemicals, which are used by most toothpaste manufacturers!

Iodine: a high-importance mineral in our system. Available in every pharmacy in tincture/solution form for under R10.

Selenium: a wonderful immune system booster. Through the years, in certain parts in Africa it was noted, that the prostitutes plying their trade do not have HIV/AIDS. After long and in-depth research and investigations in these areas, the discovery was made, that the soil has unusually high selenium content, and the whole population is free of any generally occurring illnesses. Including HIV/AIDS!

Spirulina: a very effective natural health product from Nature! Available from every pharmacy or most supermarkets.

Vitamin C: the most important antiseptic, an antioxidant in our body. Take 1000 milligram per day, especially if you are a smoker. Nicotine depletes vitamin C in the system. If you have a cold/flu, you just overdose yourself with vitamin C (1000mg every 2 hours), stay in bed and rest for 2 days. The cold is gone without any other drugs. Buying your vitamin C, purchase the regular simple tablets (usually comes in 500mg, so you need to take two), avoid the over-priced Cal-C-Vitas and other big fizzy tablets, they are 95% useless fillers and food colourants. Especially stay away from antibiotics!!! Yes, I know that it is the first thing your doctor insists to inject into you. Forgive the man, but tell him to go away!.

Vitamin D: this is important and it is for free! Sunshine gives you the only effective, vital and natural Vitamin D! Suntan sensibly, experiment without any suntan lotions/sunscreens for 5-10 minutes at the beginning, then apply sun protection. Increase your sunning time period if you can daily, depending of the sensitivity of your skin type. There has been 10 times more damage done to our bodies due to lack of sunshine (i.e. Vitamin D) globally, than from UV rays on bare skin. More cancers were caused by excessive use of sunscreens, than from sunshine ever! Please see some websites at the bottom for more information.***
When you suntan, LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! Skin is as individual as anything else, so it is a different sunning time-frame from person to person. The moment you feel that hot sensation from the sun, you collected enough sunshine for the day. Cover up or find shade.

Glyconutrients: this is a relatively new food supplement in SA, sold through agents and healers, generally not available yet. Personally I will be able to supply the product shortly. Glyconutrients work through a unique bio-technology process on cellular levels, repairing human cells abilities to regain many functions which have been reduced or damaged due to mineral deficiencies. The effect is astounding, the product harmonises the bodys systems, therewith creating the status of full health.

Finally; REST, RELAX AND GET TO KNOW YOURSELF IN BODY-MIND-SPIRIT! Know, that your body has been created to continuously heal itself, to find its balance and harmony. This is Natural Law. For your body to achieve good health, it depends on what thoughts you entertain, what your words (amplified thoughts) are and naturally what deeds you decide upon. Simply said, are you working with, or against your body with your MIND?
This philosophy will influence everything, may that be cellulite, a cold or cancer.

Which way will it happen?

YOU HAVE THE POWER IN YOUR MIND TO DECIDE THAT!
