and can specifically target conditions.
The Seventh Day Adventists use variations at their hospitals very successfully for cancers, MS, advanced Arthritis, and many other conditions, which I witnessed staying at the hospital.
Then, often, people would feel better, stop eating well, stop gently exercising, stop doing their hydrotherapy, and have to return, sicker this time.all this I observed during my stay, with my 6 month old baby .
All you need is good quality water.
Supplies-
1. thick white flannel ( fabric store- used between tables and tablecloths) washed only with a natural detergent, and cut to size
Sizes needed:
-3 pads for abdomen
-One to wrap around feet
-One for the length of back
2. Bowl of ice water and wash cloth
The process itself takes about 20 minutes, after prep is done.
Directions-
A. Heat pads. I used to steam them in a canning pot. You can soak them in good quality heated water, wring them out, put in covered pot to retain heat.
B. With pads and ice water with washcloth within reach, lie down without clothing in bathtub ( easiest) or on bed or sofa, (with coverings available if not in bathtub) See? Tub is probably best.
C. Without burning skin with too hot pads ( some learning curve here)
-wrap cloth pad around feet, ( possibly place towel over to retain heat)
-place one behind back and lie back
-Place one on abdomen
-wring out ice water cloth, and dab on forehead until enough heat has been absorbed and, with cloth re-wetted, can be comfortably placed from one ear.. over forehead and eyes ... to other ear. Will feel divine.
D. Every 3 minutes, re-wet cold cloth, remove abdominal pad, wipe abdomen with ice water cloth, scream, and place new hot pad on abdomen.
E. Return cold cloth to head.
F. Abdomen will have 3 hot pad applications, each followed after 3 minutes by a wipe of ice water cloth.
G. Then, wipe back as best you can with re-wetted ice water cloth, and finally, stand in tub and pour ice water bowl over feet, screaming a bit again if you wish.
F. Dry all , put on warm docks , winter or summer , dress, and if possible rest a bit so your body can focus on responding to the dynamics that are now happening.
Personal note-
In my mid-twenties, after many health problems, and great overwork/ under self-care, I developed Endometriosis.
A woman's disease", it was little researched, and information doctors had was significantly faulty.
If I moved, I would have severe pain that lasted for days. If I did not move, I had significant pain.
I went from working 30 hours a week at a social service agency as a Drug Abuse Counselor , 20 hrs a week at a volunteer peer counseling center , and going to college full-time, to being disabled.
My doctor performed a laparoscopic surgery , and then advised me to take a medication that was taken off the market following year for being dangerous. Or have a complete hysterectomy. I went around interviewing some local women who had done this and still had terrible pain!
I then traveled three days a week for one year to see the famous Dr. So in Newton Massachusetts, a remarkable and well-known acupuncturist from China, and saw his nutritionists, becoming a macrobiotic. I became the first patient he ever gave up on.
I was then told by the doctors that if I could manage to get pregnant, which I probably would not , this would all be cured.
Alarmed, we got pregnant. The condition worsened. The beautiful baby was born. The condition was worse than ever.
Finally, I went to a Seventh-day Adventist Hospital in Alabama, Yuchi Pines, for two weeks of hydrotherapy treatment.
I was treated by the famous Dr. Agatha Thrash, specialist in women 's diseases, author of one of the earliest natural foods cookbooks.
They provided and taught me constitutional hydrotherapy, and I learned how to eat the Seventh-day Adventist diet.
I returned home, and did hydrotherapy six days a week for one year.
In one month, all uterine fibroids were gone. In three months, all uterine cysts were gone. With treatments, the pain began to lessen a little bit. By six months, the pain had vanished. Digestive problems, hypoglycemia, chronic migraine and exhaustion resolved.
By one year, the endocrine system was completely rebalanced.
Dr. Thrash and her husband, Dr. Calvin Thrash, asked me to write and illustrate a pamphlet for them to distribute to others on how to do hydrotherapy on yourself at home.
It was my first experience with the significant possibilities of well-indicated natural healing methods .
