Breast flushing has nothing to do with flushing your breast down the toilet, or your breasts suddenly turning beet red with embarrassment. It has everything to do with clearing out blocked, or clogged lymphatic vessels, and blood vessels in breast tissue. Breast tissue is mainly lipid, or fatty tissue, along with lymphatic vessels, and blood vessels.
Due to our high stress society, many woman find themselves stressed out. This creates a lot of acid waste, due to increased adrenalin flow from the adrenals. When we are stressed, this puts us in sympathetic mode. This causes the adrenals to secrete adrenalin. Adrenalin prepares our bodies for survival, or "fight or flight". The acid buildup from adrenalin secretion must be neutralized by the body, because too much acidity in the blood and lymphatic vessels causes acidosis. Acidosis can cause a myriad of health problems, such as demineralization of bones, lowered immune response, anxiety, and elevated blood sugar and blood pressure. Acidosis, depending on the degree, compromises oxygenation of our cells. The lack of oxygen leads to cellular fatigue, lowered immune response, cellular mutation, and cell death.
What does this have to do with breast flushing? Acids and toxins can build up in the breasts. If this continues long term, coupled with poor dietary habits, such as eating rancid fats from fast food restaurants, eating too much sugar and processed carbs, or consuming artificial sweeteners, and not enough fresh raw produce-a state of disease in your body can ensue after several years of this abuse. The lack of oxygen in the body, stemming from too much acid, stemming from stress and a poor diet, coupled with inadaquate rest, and outdoor activity, can produce a disease state in the body. Next to M.I., or heart attack, the second biggest cause of death in women is breast cancer. There is a ton of MISINFORMATION out there in the pharmaeceutical/medical controlled media about disease, particularly regarding breast cancer. There is much that can be done to prevent breast ca, and it DOES NOT include having your breasts sliced, or chopped off, by the greedy cancer/pharmaceutical industry. Keep your breasts healthy for life, and you will keep your breasts for life.
Speaking of breast cancer prevention, another name for breast flushing, is breast massage. It involves increasing the circulation of the lymph, and blood specifically in the breast tissue. You might say, "I am not having some strange male massage therapist touch my breasts!" Ha, that is fine, I don't intend to do that. "You don't?" Not unless you request it. You can do it yourself, or have your spouse do it for you. I can show you, or describe to you how, if you like. Again, not unless you request it. If it were my spouse, I would always encourage her to get regular breast massage, at least monthly. If a professional does it, you can learn how to do it yourself, or at least show your spouse. The feedback I have received is that it is a little awkward to perform this procedure on your own. Its similer to massaging your own neck and shoulders. You can do it, but its much easier if someone else does it for you, esp if they know what they are doing, or know how to make tight muscles relax.
What is the purpose of moving the blood or lymph? The reason you want to GENTLY massage in that area, is because it will move the lymph, get it circulating, and do the same for the blood flow. This allows more oxygen to get into your cells. Oxygen gives your cells life. The lack of oxygen causes cell death. Stagnation of lymph and blood flow causes cellular death. Acids, and toxins build up in both of these fluids. You want to get these fluids flowing and moving, to move this waste out of your body. Waste and acids choke off oxygen uptake into the cells.
Increasing blood flow, and lymphatic flow helps move these acids and poisons out of the breast tissue, and out through the exits, ie elimination channels of the body. Blockages, and stagnation of lymph flow, as well as decreased blood flow in that area, can cause disease due to this lack of oxygen. A lack of oxygen can cause breast cancer.
Dr. Otto Warburg discovered back in 1931 that a highly acidic condition, coupled with a lack of oxygen in the body allows cancer to proliferate and grow. He also discovered that if you flood the body with oxygen, cancer cannot survive. When you increase blood and lymph flow, in this case to the breast area, you bring more oxygen in.
One of the things that has a dramatic impact on breast health is the wearing of bras. In a study involving many women, it was noted that the women who wore their bras 12 hours a day, or more, had 25 times the incidence of breast cancer, over those who wore their bras less than 12 hours per day! Furthermore, women who wear their bras 24 hours per day, never removing them even for bed- had an astonishing five times greater incidence of gettting breast cancer than those who wear their bras over 12 hours a day! Where is the lesson here? Take your bra off as soon as humanly possible when you get home from work. Use discretion of course if you have children or "overly affectionate" spouse! :)
In addition stop putting those clogging anti-perspirants in your armpits. They prevent toxic waste from being eliminated by blocking your pores. The fact that over 99% of the female population shaves their armpits, as well as their legs in this country, contributes to the vulnerability and sensitivity of women in the axillary region, to bacteria, and petrochemicals such as anti-perspirants. It is a known fact that over 70% of breast cancers occur in the upper, outer portion of the breast, near the axilla. Can this be a coincidence? What do you use instead of anti-perspirants? There are many things you can do, which work very well, and don't give you breast cancer. One brand of non-toxic deodorant, is Young Living's Mountain Mist or Meadow Mist Deodorants. Instead of being full of petrochemicals such as propylene glycol, aluminum chlorhydrate, methyl and propyl paraben, and sodium laurel sulphate...they contain therapeutic grade essential oils! The Oils do not clog your pores and prevent toxins from getting out. They cleanse your pores of harmful petrochemicals, pull in oxygen, and raise your frequency. That is the very opposite of what toxic deodorants and anti-perspirants do to your health.
It has been demonstrated by a prominant physician named Hiromi Shinya, M.D. that many breast cancer victims have clogged up colons, full of "excess baggage". Dr. Shinya is the inventor of the colonascope. He has performed thousands of colonoscopies. He has noted in many of these cases that disease does indeed start in the colon. This includes many types of cancers, including breast cancer. He puts all of his patients on an alkalizing diet, which increases oxygen to the cells, and coincidentally, cleans out their colons. Guess what happens? Their diseases, including breast cancer, also go away. He has shown there is a direct correlation between a colon clogging diet, and breast cancer.
I perform abdominal massage and ilio-cecal valve massage to loosen and release build up in the colon area. I perform breast massage-if requested, to loosen and release build up of toxins in that area as well. I can also check for, and find lumps that may be present. Once again, I don't do it unless you request it. I have performed this service for others and have gotten amazing results. There is nothing sexual about it. It is a light, gentle massage that works the lymph toward the lymph nodes of the axillary areas on both sides of the body.
It is often recommended to do a self breast exam each month to check for lumps. Better yet, learn to perform simple breast massage or breast flushing when you check for lumps, so you can help your breasts to become more oxygenated, and healthier. Healthy breasts are perky, plump, pretty, and pleasing to the eye- not saggy, baggy, or draggy. The latter are full of toxins and acid buildup, lacking in oxygen. The former are vibrant, full of life, and vitality, due to the presence of oxygen, and lack of toxic waste.
There have been times that I have massaged breasts that were in moderate to servere discomfort. When I was finished, the discomfort was gone. When you think about the improved blood and lymphatic flow, and increased oxygenation to the cells in the breast, its more apparent regarding why the pain or discomfort decreased or disappeared altogether. Lack of oxygen causes pain, and discomfort, as well as lowering the immune response. It also causes a decrease in energy.
This is why blood pressure pills make people so weak and tired. They decrease blood flow, or cardiac output, causing the cells of the body to suffer from oxygen deprivation and starvation. For more on lowering blood pressure without drugs, refer to the page on Magnesium Massage. I believe that anti-hypertensives contribute to breast cancer, due to decreased uptake of oxygen into the cells, from decreasd blood flow, secondary to decreased cardiac output. If you are on blood pressure pills, consider therapeutic grade essential oils such as Geranium, Helichrysum, Cypress, Clove, Lavender, and Frankincense Oils. These oils can improve circulation and normalize your blood pressure. No side effects like fatigue, dizziness, swelling and edema, and depression either! The side effects of essential oils make you much healthier, and make you feel more energetic and serene.
Let me add a couple of more points concerning breast health, and prevention of breast cancer: Get out in the sun. Do not avoid it. You need Vitamin D. Vitamin D from milk is bogus. The best form of D is from direct sunlight. Sunlight DOES NOT cause melanoma, or any kind of cancer. Sunscreens and suntan lotions, and other chemical body lotions do cause skin cancer. All of these lotions block the body's ability to produce the Vitamin D it so desperately needs. Vitamin D prevents and reverses cancer. It has been discovered that Vitamin D can fully prevent 77% of all types of cancer. See www.naturalnews.com, and www.mercola.com Get out in the sun. Don't get burned, and don't wear a sunscreen. If you do happen to get burned, use therapeutic grade Lavender Oil, Idaho Balsam Fir, or aloe vera from your garden or health food store. You can also apply unfiltered apple cider vinegar to your skin. It will counteract the burning. You should never get burned but these things can help tremendously!
Don't go for any mammograms. There is a lot of information on the web, that is heavily documented, proving that mammograms actually CAUSE cancer, www.naturalnews.com and don't do a single thing in preventing it. Instead, look for a thermography clinic. You can look up breast thermography and see if there is a place near you. Get outside in the sun and walk. Walking is a great health activity, and will help you lose weight if you need to, as well as providing excellent exercise. One of the best things you can do is to walk on the beach, if it is available in your area.
If you have access to a FIR Sauna, (Far Infrared), use it. FIR Saunas increase the elimination of toxins, and acids through the pores of your skin in your perspiration. I plan on getting one in the near future and making it available at my new 25 Homestead Road, Lehigh Acres, FL location. I plan on making a package available of massage, Quantum Pulse, and sauna. This will make you healthier and have you feeling on top of the world!
Aong with breast massage, FIR Saunas, natural sunlight exposure, drinking more alkalized water, avoiding drugs of all kinds, and reducing the time you wear a bra every day-in order to prevent breast cancer, is the use of therapeutic grade essential oils. Therapeutic grade essential oils are healing to the body. The highest grade of oils in North America (and South America, Europe, Asia, and Anarctica for that matter), are from Young Living Essential Oils.
See "Raindrop" on the left hand side of this page. Oils that are high in d-limonene are highly anti-tumoral. They include all of the citrus oils, such as grapefruit, orange, lemon, tangerine, and mandarin oils. The oil blend JOY is high in these citrus oils. D-limonene has been studied for its ability to not only halt the progression of cancer tumors, but to regress them as well. Simply applying oils neet, or directly on your breasts, such as Frankincense, Sandalwood, Lavender, and other oils are very beneficial. These oils may not only make your breasts smell wonderful, your skin in that area, or any area where you apply them, will become softer, smoother, and more elastic.
Sandalwood and Frankincense have been studied for thier ability to reprogram the DNA back to normal if it has been damaged. Cedarwood smells so good, and is the highest essential oil in sesquipterpenes, a compound that is powerful in attracting oxygen molecules, and will allow that oil to cross the blood-brain barrier. This is significant for anybody with any kind of neurological disease. More oxygen means more healing, and greater health. See Dr. Otto Warburg above. If you increase oxygen into your cells, you decrease the chances of getting cancers of any kind.
Only Young Living Essential Oils can be applied neet, or directly on the skin without dilution. You can also mix the oils with a carrier oil. I suggest either coconut oil, shea butter, or jojoba oil. Jojoba oil, esp organic jojoba oil is very healing to the skin. You will love it when you apply jojoba oil, mixed with Frankincense, Lavender, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, and Orange Oils to your breasts. Not only will you probably never have to worry about breast cancer, your breasts will smell so wonderful, and they will also feel very silky smooth and soft, and supple. This is the combination of oils that I use in breast massage. There is no sexual connotation to it. You may bring your husband, daughter, mother in law, sister, brother, father, or grandmother in the room with you. It doesn't matter to me. It will be an educational experience for all.
Other company oils require dilution as they have been adulterated. For example, essential oils can be very dangerous to use on cats. Cats can even die from applying essential oils to their bodies. However, the one exception is Young Living Essential Oils. Young Living Oils can be applied to cats without any danger of harming them in any way. If they are safe, and beneficial for little kittens, they are extremely safe and beneficial for you as well. You should still dilute your Young Living Oils if they are used on your cat. Avoid Grapefruit Oil.
There is a blend of oils called, "Progessance Plus" which has been touted by Dan Purser, M.D. and LeAnn Deardeaff, D.C. as a fantastic treatment for any kind of adverse female condition. It is the only natural source of progesterone in the world that is dissolved in therapeutic grade essential oils. You can learn more about this by googling Dan Purser, M.D. I believe his website is www.danpursermd.com I have a student in my class who was having extremely painful PMS periods. She was taking "handfuls" of Alleve to help her cope with the cramping pains. I recommended Young Living's "Dragon Time" and Progessance Plus to see if they would help her condition. She was pleased with her results since she reported to me several weeks later that she had not been taking any Alleve whatsoever. That was because she had no more cramping or pain whatsoever!
When you normalize the hormone levels in your body, your chances of getting breast cancer go way down. Many women struggle with hormone imbalance and go to their doctors. What does he usually do? He puts them on birth control pills or drugs such as Premarin, or progestin, or pem-pro, or some other drug. See "Natural Birth Control" on this website for a little overview on the dangers of birth control pills. The solution is to allow your body to make its own hormones in the right amounts. The body knows better than we do in how much or how little you need. If you take synthetic hormones, the body stops making that hormone. Now you are locked in taking that synthetic drug hormone for life.
There is research showing that DMSO also can prevent and even reverse breast cancer. You canle do your own research on DMSO (Dimethyl-Sulfoxide) by googling it. It is used extensively on race horses. Many people with arthritis and gout have obtained blessed relief from applying DMSO to their areas of pain. DMSO is a by product of the wood pulp industry. The FDA has made it difficult for people to learn anything about it, as they do for any modality that would threaten drug industry profits.
Lastly, eat a healthier diet. I believe that eating more organic, raw fruits and vegetables can go a long way in making you healthier. Add to that, drinking lots of healthy, ionized water. Ionized water is alkalizing, and full of anti-oxidants. This helps make your breasts healthier, and it makes the rest of your body healthier too.
In summary, breast flushing, or breast massage is vital to breast health, just as whole body massage benefits the whole body. Massage has been around since the time of Hippocrates. He used essential oils and massage in his treatments. Breast massage is just as essential to overall health as back, or leg massage. It can also decrease the possibility of disease in that region.
