Philosophy & Hydrotherapy

Question 1

Unity of disease

Answer 1

One source of disease.
Acid alkaline balance low pH = low O2 - diet, stress, toxins/drugs.
Cellular environment / terrain
Vital Force
PH saliva 7 or more
Alkalise with sodium citrate

Question 2

Vitalism / Vital Force

Answer 2

VF innate intelligence that animates body, orchestrates self healing and regeneration.
Poor health - blockage of VF, insufficiency
Remove blockage, replenish insufficiency
Both restore flow of VF.

Question 3

Bioindividuality

Answer 3

Treat the person not the disease
Age, genetics, medical history, energetic constitution, diet, lifestyle, environment, blood type.
O and B produce more alkaline phosphatase (reduces Chol & protects against leaky gut) than A and AB.
O produces more pepsin than A, B & AB so digest meat protein better.
A & AB more viscous blood, O thinnest, B normal.
A produces more cortisol under stress.

Question 4

Autotoxaemia

Answer 4

Toxic bowel waste reabsorbed into blood.
Cleansing of bowel for self healing.
Toxic load in body of morbid matter that poisons cells leading to fermentation and putrefaction (rotting) and chronic low pH. Clumping of RBC, reducing O2 to tissues & poor circulation.
Increase fluid and fibre while grains fruit veg.
Probiotics
Fasting 1 day a week
Enemas and colon hydrotherapy
Bowel cleanses with herbs and clays.

Question 5

Fundamentals of cure

Answer 5

1. Diseases have the same cause - waste or over acidity from poor diet lifestyle stress excesses neglect environmental. pH low enzyme function disrupted cure can’t occur.
2. Body always tries to heal itself - acute symptoms body detoxifying
3. Do not suppress symptoms - body finds alternative route, deeper seated, chronic, acute subacute chronic degenerative. Naturopathy vs allopathy. Egs antidepressants, painkillers, stop diarrhoea, topical steroids, remove tonsils, vaccines abx.
4. Body can heal itself - cell renewal RBC 90-120 days, liver 5 months, taste buds 10 days, epidermis 40 days

Question 6

Triad of health

Answer 6

Balance of
Emotional - Bach flowers homeopathy counselling
Biochemical - nutrition herbs tissue salts homeopathy
Structural - massage osteopathy lymphatic drainage

Question 7

Arndt-Schulz law

Answer 7

Small dose stimulates VF
Medium dose neutral effect on VF
Large suppresses VF

Question 8

Hydrotherapy

Answer 8

Thermodynamics blood redistribution, cleansing tonifying relaxing dilating.
- External: Epsom salt baths (remove lactic acid waste toxins move acid to alkaline), alt hot/cold, Sitz baths, compresses, foot bath, steam/sauna, clay (draws out acids)
- stimulates blood flow, increase oxygen and nutrient delivery, promote lymphatic drainage, cold increases respiration slows circulation, hot restores respiration increase circulation.
- Internal: elimination acid waste via kidneys and bladder. Tap (filter) (mineral, spring, sea) hard high mineral content, soft (rain, reverse osmosis, distilled) more acidic so can leach metals from pipes. Distilled, reverse osmosis, carbon filtered
