	Body Healing
Lymph drainage
Lymph drainage is performed to stimulate the release of blocked fluid in the glands and to allow the proper flow to be re-established. The lymph system is critical to the healthy processing of blood serum so as not to over-tax the heart, cleansing and detoxifying of these fluids, and the production of many functional hormones. When the lymph glands are swollen it is a clear indicator that the immune system is on alert and the body is becoming toxic. Swollen glands, exhaustion, frequent illness (however minor), mononucleosis, remittent fever, respiratory congestion, constipation, sinus conditions, and allergies are some of the symptoms connected with lymph congestion.

Circulation stimulation
Circulation stimulation is critical for conditions of congestion and stagnation. This can be accomplished in a number of ways, including massage, chi enhancement, localized light beam, far infrared, and color stimulation.
Hemorrhoids, varicosities, gout, or skin ulcerations, cardiac stress all indicate circulatory depletion. Also, many sport injuries, "aging" aches and pains, stagnation of ovaries and prostate, and subtle pooling of the blood flow are dramatically aided when circulation is re-established.

Colonic Hydrotherapy
Colonic therapy has been documented as beneficial for at least three thousand years. Colonic treatment is more effective than the traditional enema.because it re-establishes tone, shape, and complete and proper function. Calcified waste, heavy metals, parasites, and toxic residue are also eliminated, allowing for normal absorption of nutrients into the blood and cells.

Acute illnesses and Injury
The best way to handle acute illness is to build up the immune capabilities of the body so that it rids itself of offensive pathogens and restore nutritive values so the body is strong enough to truly recoup health. Some examples of acute illnesses are: colds, fever and flu, sciatica, TMJ, carpal tunnel, sinus conditions, pink eye, mononucleosis, indigestion and constipation. These and many more are the variable states of dysfunction that your body goes through. For each type of acute illness there are specific treatments that alleviate distress and clear the body of the problem. It may be a bit old fashioned to rest and take curative measures for the rebuilding of the integrity of the system, but that is the way to truly release illness from the body and have no recurrence. Tissue injury is often overlooked as just "something to be lived with" that slowly deteriorates the quality of your life. These injury sites can be worked on and the natural calcification (that your body defends the area with) can be broken down. With free flow of rejuvenating, blood-carried oxygen, minerals, and nutrients, the area can actually repair itself.


Accupressure and reflexology
Accupressure and reflexology employ the knowledge of the acupuncture meridians and points using finger tip pressure to activate these portals in the systems of the body. The meridians are energy pathways that run throughout the body. Activating a point or getting the flow back in a meridian is like a spark that catches into a blaze internally. If the flow of energy is slow, then the function of that system is sluggish and eventually that part of the body can stop working properly. Accupressure and reflexology help to turn the system "back on". Every condition can benefit from these therapies; they are important in any maintenance program.

Massage therapy
Massage therapy not only relaxes the over-stressed system but also stimulates circulation of blood, lymph and cerebral spinal fluid throughout the tissues. Massage releases, strengthens and cleanses the structural and soft tissue of the body. The various techniques offer a wide range of possibilities for restoring well-being during a time of illness and for maintaining health.

Organ Detoxification
Chronic Illness Treatment Organ and systemic detoxification programs are designed to deconstruct chronic illness and cleanse all portions of the body. This therapy is employed to clear the body of heavy metals, chemical residue from the environment or from prior drug therapies, latent viruses, and fungal, bacterial and parasitic infestations. Detoxification programs are designed to give the appropriate "nutrientation" to restructure the cellular action of each organ so that it will function as it is meant to. When each organ functions properly, the strong immune system restores balance and acute illness becomes a rarity. Chronic illness is the result of slow and progressive deterioration and therefore will not manifest if the body is whole and the mind and emotions are balanced.

Orthomolecular Medicine
(diet and supplements) Orthomolecular Medicine applies knowledge of the biology, chemistry, and physiology of the human body to manage acute or chronic conditions with natural substances. It makes use of vitamins, minerals, plant esters herbal extracts, homeopathic micro-substances, gems, flower and color elixirs. The goal of orthomolecular medicine is to: detoxify and rid the body of that which is harmful re-establish the proper balance and harmony of the internal environment restore healthy function of the parts and the whole.

Magnetic Therapy
Magnets have long been used to balance the polarity of the body. In nature, the magnetic force of the earth stimulates resonance within the human and animal bodies. In modern life, a lack of direct contact with the earth deprives the body of a crucial source of balance. Tissue healing and regeneration is strongly enhanced by the use of magnetic therapy.

Pain and Neuropathy Treatment
Pain and numbness are symptoms of lymphatic, circulatory and/or neuro-degradation. Often, trauma and/or malabsorption of nutrients precede and cause these symptoms. Defining and treating the source of the problem with a variety of therapies allows for recuperation.

Hormone Balancing
Both men and women experience hormone level imbalances. Correcting hormone levels allows for the return of abundant energy and reproductive function. Hormone balancing also affects hundreds of other functions, both emotional and physical. Several forms of testing are available to determine exact needs. Natural hormone supplementation and re-establishment of nutritionally-deficient factors of the system can restore balance and the ability of the body to produce hormones adequately.

Special Treatments
"Shift" Program ® 12 Day - 12 Therapy Cleanse The concept of participating in a continuous cleanse program has been with human kind for as long as we have history. Living Well Center offers the "Shift" Program 12 day - 12 Therapy Cleanse. Whenever a person is ill, it has been recognized that light or no food helps to keep the system clear and unburdened. Using medicinal food substances further assists with healing. Colon cleanse speeds the process toward a rejuvenated state of health and clears parasitic infestations that so often are present when the body has been toxic and stressed for a period of time. For twelve consecutive days, the person seeking a renewed start in life will spend several hours being treated to relaxing message, far-infrared treatment, reflexology, hot stone and raindrop therapy, lymph, liver and pancreatic drainage and circulation stimulation through the charkas, color, tone and magnetic field strengthening, as well as "Catalyst" deep rest restructuring. Each day also includes a colonic session and releasing mind - emotion - spirit therapies. Supplements, juicing and a very light diet will be continued each day at home. The program is set up to cover the basics and to be individualized for the specific needs of each person attending. Testing for PH, blood sugar, enzymes, electrolytes, blood variables and constitutional strength at the beginning and end will demonstrate the results of giving the body a chance to deeply rest and recover. The "Shift" Program 12 day - 12 Therapy Cleanse prepares the person for an individualized maintenance program and a real "SHIFT" of body, mind and spirit! Cellulite Reduction - Advanced cellulite reduction employs an internal "detox" program as well as external stimulus to break up the fatty deposits and allow them to be eliminated from the body. Allergy Reversal An "allergy" is an abnormal response to a normal stimuli. Testing for allergies is helpful so that offending substances can be avoided for the moment. The objective should be to alleviate the deficiency that has weakened the system sufficiently that the body cannot respond correctly to the environment. Sometimes there are specific elements that are deficient, sometimes toxicity is the problem. Severe responses or allergic responses to many factors are an immune deficiency. The "Shift" Program 12 day - 12 Therapy Cleanse is most helpful for restructuring inappropriate "allergic" response.
