If you take a look outside you may notice that things do not seem as they usually do. The shadows underneath the trees are longer, the days are getting shorter, and the weather is becoming crisper and dryer. Autumn is here, and just as the outside environment begins to the changes, so does the body’s internal environment. To maintain health and happiness, we as individuals must make changes in our daily routines to keep a harmonious balance with the shifting season. This newsletter is designed to equip our valley, desert and mountain clients with information on how to synchronize our bodies for optimal wellness in the autumn season.

In holistic medicine, autumn corresponds to the Metal element. Metal is a material of war and conflict and corresponds to the organs in our body that are the battle grounds for infections and parasites- the Lungs, Large Intestines, and the Skin. In fact, if you think about it, the Lungs are the inward foldings of the Skin, as is the Large Intestine, so we can think of them all as one generalized organ.

Southern California Autumns bring the notorious Santa Ana winds, and this effects the body in two immediate ways. First, all the dust, pollen, debris and microbes that have been festering all summer become stirred up and carried in the winds, which make their way into the Lungs/Sinuses. Sinusitis, post nasal drip and irritated swollen eyes are all symptoms of this. This is a wonderful time to bring out the netti pot, and begin sinus irrigation, as well as begin herbal therapy for irritation and mucous build up.

Autumn also brings dry air which depletes moisture in the Skin, Lungs and Large Intestine. Our “Cocoa Butter skin balm” and “Golden Myrricle skin cream” are perfect solutions for chapped skin and lips, especially when combined with our “Lilly Bulb skin tonic.”

Cold and Flu season also begins in autumn. To prevent colds and flu it is important to eat right for the season. Spicy warm foods should be eaten whenever possible. Examples of these foods are cinnamon, ginger, hot peppers, garlic and scallions. Using a sauna regularly to encourage lymph movement and sweating out pathogens is also very important. At home hot baths with our “Sweathouse bath salts” will encourage lymph drainage and if used at the very first signs of cold/flu can eliminate them. In addition to the sauna, using dry brushes can move the lymph and simultaneously erase fine line and wrinkles.

Colonics and probiotics greatly help to detox and cleanse the body of parasites, yeast, and many other lingering pathogens. Since autumn is the time that resonates with the Large Intestine, any colonic series done during this season will have an enhanced effect allowing organs to dump toxicity and parasites more readily. It will also provide more hydration more directly to dry Skin and Lungs.

Emotionally, autumn can be a tricky time for some people. Since autumn marks the recession of maximum light (summer) to maximum dark (winter) we begin to lose some of that Spring/Summer solar energy, making our bodies slower, cooler, and more easily overwhelmed. It is very important to lessen ones emotional baggage at this time. Do just as the Large Intestines do, dump and let go of grudges, grief, and any other emotions that you should not own. Colonics and Acupuncture, or just a spa day, can help to manually release emotional baggage and can significantly reduce or prevent a case of autumn depression.

For those that look up at the night sky, after midnight November 20th – 21st you will have a good opportunity to see a shooting star or two. If you are more of a morning person, pre-dawn multi-colored meteors will be visible on December 12th- 13th.

Be Happy, Health and Safe.

He recently moved up to the San Bernadine mountains and our mountain Community from  Los Angeles area and we have been working together in Holistic Wellness Center in Calimesa for awhile now. I am so blessed to work side by side with this witty kind soul. I look forward to his smile and his creative energy every day. My clients will have no trouble entrusting him with their health as I trust him with mine.

He is a master herbalist in Chinese Medicine and designs his own healing remedies. Such as

Moon Gate- for inner peace and calming

Graceful branches- for joint and muscle pain

Calm Dragon – for PMS symptoms

and soon will be launching many more.

We are partnering together and have reopened my beloved Heal Thyself Herb Pharm again in Running Springs California with twice as many herbs than before. We are now in the middle of renovation to build Robert his personal healing space.

About Blue Deer Healing & Robert Luna

I’m Robert and my vision is to create an environment conducive to natural healing and natural states. Within this carefully planned space, clients will let go of their external worries and enter into a state of inner calmness, relaxation, peacefulness and mindfulness. Without cultivating this inner-state of awareness, full participation in their own healing is not possible. The practice of natural healing techniques serves to remove people from modernization and facilitates the transformation to a more primitive and meaningful state of our true human and individual nature, restoring natural energy, circulation and vibration in harmony not with machines but with the Cosmos of which we are all a part. To obtain this state, I harmoniously blend Etheric Energy (Acupuncture), Physical Energy(Herbs) and other techniques to bring patients to a place of deep healing and rejuvenation and to experience the simple joys of what it means to be human in a simple movement or breath, and to open them up to states of health and feeling previously believed impossible.

Robert Luna completed his Masters Degree in Traditional Asian Medicine in 2006 from Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica, CA. Until then, he had been studying Biology at University of California, Los Angeles and world arts and culture at the University of California, Santa Barbara, seeking out his career, educational and spiritual purpose.

On an a visit to Joshua Tree National Park in the sacred California desert, Rob witnessed the miracle of the desert night sky under a full moon and received confirmation to move forward with his plan to study “the ancient healing arts & sciences.” Four years later he became a Board Certified Acupuncturist and Herbalist.

Living a vegetarian lifestyle is an important part of Rob’s life, as an individual and as a healer. He believes the animal foods industry is unsustainable, being a huge source of global pollution, personal disease, as well as being tainted with pain, misery, and sickness – none of which is a part of good health and healing. Because of this he has deliberately excluded animal products, which are common in this field of medicine, from his practice.
Rob combines Acupuncture, herbal medicine, energy work, stone therapy, aromatherapy, and a variety of other modalities. He considers these stems from the same branch of metaphysics, and he synergistically combines them all to provide a deeply restorative experience for his clients. His ultimate goal is to show his clients that there is a healthier and higher way of living, living in harmony with our own natural rhythm and the natural rhythm of our planet, and that this natural harmony is innate and can be attained by anyone.

Healing arts and services Provided by Robert Luna

Acupuncture medicine has evolved over thousands of years and is highly effective and safe. Only traditional medicines have undergone such rigorous “clinical trials”. Acupuncture theory uses a “holistic” approach, meaning it treats any primary complaint by treating the body’s entire energetic system at the same time. This makes patients treatment a unique and specialized experience.

The personalized treatments I provide are customized to each client, based upon a differential diagnosis made by objective analysis of the tongue and pulse qualities, and physical examination of meridians, followed with detailed questioning of the client’s history, environment and emotions.

Depending on the needs of the client, I blend therapies from many ancient world cultures, using Aryuvedic, Chinese and local medicinal herbs, acupressure, body work, Reiki, reflexology, heat therapy, magnetic field therapy, Taoist dietary advice, essential oils, and Reiki. The result is a strong treatment with a powerful focus on the client’s needs.

Standard Treatments Offered:

Acupuncture:
The need for health and healing goes beyond time and space. Every indigenous culture relied on the world around them for their wellness. In the Orient, Acupuncture was the main modality to heal and remain healthy. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into very specific points on the body.  Points are selected using a variety of medical philosophies that range from the more esoteric 4-needle technique to Taoist based theories, to theories developed with modern neuro-anatomy.

Herbs:
Herbal therapy involves the use of traditional herbals from not only the orient, but from all over the world including Aryuvedic herbs and Western herbs.  These herbs are extremely safe, extremely effective and have over 5,000 years of practical experience and testing. Today in China, millions of people combine modern pharmaceuticals and traditional herbals to achieve a level of healing found nowhere else in the world. In my practice, Herbals are dispensed either by pill/tablet form, or by liquid alcohol extracts to ensure ease of use.

Bodywork:
Very often hands on bodywork is combined with my acupuncture treatments as a way to further stimulate certain acupoints, and muscle groups making treatments dramatically more effective.

Cupping:
Cupping is a therapy that is gaining popularity in the western world. It involves using a glass or plastic spherical cup over certain acupoints on the body. A vacuum is created inside the cup, which lifts the skin in a way that allows the pores to become open- drawing toxins out and creating a rush of circulation. This technique is ideal for aches and pains, minor colds and flues and detoxification.

Moxa:
Moxa is a technique which involves burning certain herbs, usually mugwort, over different parts of the body. Moxa can be burned in a variety of ways, but is usually used in a cigar like roll. Moxa is extremely effective for treating menstrual cramping, minor aches and pains, or cold from exposure.

Exercise/Lifestyle:
Exercise and lifestyle counseling are the heart of preventing disease. Once patients have attained a level of balance, they are given at home instructions to continue their treatments and minimize the chance reoccurrence. Changing posture, breathing a little differently, or thinking from a different point of view is often all that is necessary to create significant shift in ones health.

Diet:
Diet therapy is similar to herbal therapy. It is a very powerful way to change the course of your health. Being a vegetarian, I encourage all my patients to minimize or eliminate all dairy and meat based foods from their diet. This may sound extreme to some, but every patient who commits to this during their course of treatment experiences a rush of renewal and regeneration as all the toxins and impurities from animal foods, not to mention the emotional imprints of misery and fear, leave the body and are replaced with foods of greater healing value.

You may have questions about this procedure that can be very embarrassing to ask.

Not all colon Hydrotherapy units are the same. Pricing can vary quite a bit depending on where you live and the therapist. Just because a colon therapist are is at an advanced or teaching level doesn’t mean they are any good at it. On of the best sessions I ever had were by newly trained therapist and the worse was by a woman who trained under Bernard Jensen himself and practiced for over thirty years. I had mine also done by a chiropractor that left me totally alone for an hour on a closed system unit. I didn’t mind so much but I was quite new at this procedure and he obviously was not available to complain to.  But Now that I am more educated about this subject I can explain the differences to you.

To find a therapist your comfortable with call ahead on the phone and ask some questions. Most colon hydro therapist’s for some reason are generally woman. Ask if you could come in and tour the clinic so you can see how sanitary it is. Is it going to be a pleasant pooping ground so to speak. If the therapist is unhealthy and overweight that’s a dead giveaway that you won’t be getting any decent dietary advice. Are they genuinely interested in your health or are they intent on telling you how overly qualified they are. Don’t let them sell you on a huge package of colonics until you had your first one, that’s how you can tell if they’re in it for the money of they may need the money.

Many Colon hydro therapist are either trained in open or closed system.I started my therapy on the closed system until I discovered the open Libbe unit.  Even though I prefer the open system because it fits my needs doesn’t mean you would be comfortable with it.  Many therapist will only sell you on the closed system and poo poo the open system (pardon the pun). And vise versa. It’s like they both believe they have the only true religion. I believe both are beneficial for cleansing.

I personally recommend to start with a closed system and graduate to open system.

THE CLOSED SYSTEM

There are a few manufacturers of this system such as Dotolo,  Hydrosan and Toxygen for example.

They have a sterile plastic speculum the width of a broom stick that is disposable that enters into your rectum about two to three inches up past your rectal sphincter.

These units have flow monitors that at the sign of any pressure from you bowel will flip a pin and the flow will reverse outward. They have a safety feature that keeps the waters heat level to never go past 105 degrees. They have water purification devices in the unit to make sure your getting the cleanest water entering your system.

There is no foul odor during this process since the fecal matter is confined to the inside of the speculum. So you can pass wind safely as well! There is a clear exit tube where the fecal matter and whatever else is breeding in your colon can be seen by you and your colon hydrotherapist.

A hydro therapy session is normally 45 minutes long on your first visit the charge is a bit more since it could last over an hour since everyone is different. It can run cost wise for about 60.00 to 95.00 depending on the area. The therapist is with you at all times so it’s good to get to know this person first.

Now your laying on your back slightly elevated on a therapy table or a massage table with a backless hospital gown and there is always a large absorbent chux pad underneath you. Your covered with a sheet to protect your privacy.  The colon Therapist verbally guides you in inserting the speculum in to your anus.

Did you know according to some state laws the colon hydrotherapist is not allowed to insert the speculum into your rectum! Pretty stupid eh! What the H-E double hockey sticks did they certify them for! But don’t get me started. A good therapist will dim the lights, put on some music, light a candle and massage your belly. Ahh I had one like that…..then she left her husband and ran off with one of her patients. I can only imagine what kind of pick up line that guy used? Boy I miss that therapist. Hmmm maybe it was the dim lights. candles and the music?

In the beginning of your session most people pass a lot of gas from the putrid matter in your colon and that’s normal. You may have cramping and and urgency as well but not to worry hopefully it will fit through that tube. And if you do spew you don’t have to clean it up! Heh heh heh! You can see this waste pass by in a clear tube next to the unit where you wave goodbye to it and play guess what I had for lunch yesterday? Nothing truly ungodly rarely ever passes through the tube on the first visit, you got to pay the big bucks to see that and for many its worth it.

When the water runs more clear then the session comes to an end. If your still dumping you really need to stay longer and a good therapist will give you that extra time you need. When your therapist is done they give you something to drink to replace you flora and perhaps an electrolyte.  (I personally wouldn’t mind a shot of tequila before getting hosed myself) If there going to put something the size of a broomstick up my rear admiral they should buy me drinks first.

After the first colonic a well trained therapist can tell how many more you would need to get the job done and offer some good probiotics’, dietary advise and cleansing products to help things go faster if you wish. In some states they can put good flora, lemon water, activated charcoal, coffee, aloe vera, wheat grass or chlorophyll into the bowel but most of the closed systems are not equipped with that option especially in California.

Make sure your on time and you keep your appointments because there is a no show charge. These units have to be started in advance for you and appointments can run real close together. These people are professionals and you should respect a profession like this one because it is’nt one of the top ten professions I want to be when I grow up list’s favorite! if you know what I mean. This is definately a labor of love.

Draw backs to the closed system

Lack of privacy

Chance of leakage or blockage in the speculum

May have rectal discomfort for people with hemorrhoids due to the hose size.

Bowel pressure can blow out the hose and leave a mess.

THE OPEN SYSTEM

The open system is like a toilet bed and is sterilized between each patient. your back is slightly elevated and the controls are right by you. One regulates water pressure, one flushes the clear tube below you and another is for an extra tube that holds any liquid substance other than water that you wish to irrigate your bowel with. The far right one controls the water temperature. And there is a door bell so you can call the therapist in when shes/he’s needed. If you want her/him there for the whole duration she/he can stay with you the whole time. But call them in advance to let them know. In our clinic we have two machines going at once and the therapist works them both at the same time.

Like the closed system the machine has a water purification system and a temperature control that will shut the unit off if it ever reaches 105-106 degrees. This feature is tested daily for your safety. The cost for closed system colon hydrotherapy runs from about 50.-75.00, a bit less since the colon hydrotherapist doesn’t have to be in the room continually unless you want them there.

The speculum is 12 inches and the end that is inserted only goes an inch or two into the rectum  is as small as your pinkie finger ( or mine actuallybecause the speculum is smaller then my pinky and I have very small hands. There is s a small round ball at the end of the speculum that your rectal sphincter locks on too when inserted. It is attached to a flexible hose in the Libbe unit that continually pumps a slow continuous flow of warm water. That when it builds up in your colon the bowels  natural reflex is to push the water and the fecal matter out. The evacuation usually bypasses the the speculum and goes down the drain, but if the bolus is to large and dislodges the speculum it just pops on out. No worries you just ring the therapist and she stops the water flow, rinses off the toilet bed, re inserts the speculum and keep on going.

As your colonics series continues the waters volume gets deeper and deeper into the system until it get to the iliao cecal valve and that’s when the liver starts to flush. Ahh what a site that is. A good liver flush is quite an experience. For some emotional and others scary. But you know you got to the whole large intestine when the liver flushes.

Later we will discuss the strange critters that exit the bowel as soon as we get pictures!

But we are only discussing the subject on where to start!

Draw backs to the open system

Your alone in the room most of the time but only if you wish and that may bother some people. But in most cases our clients like to expel in private. You can have the therapist in the rom at all time if you wish but make sure to comunicate with your therapist in advance.

The unit is not fully padded so you may have to ask the therapist for a towel and a chux pad to cushion your back.

If your very tall with long legs you make feel a little confined on the unit since it is a one size fits all unit.

The unit is a little noisy for some. But that’s what an MP3 player is for.
