  Cellulite Begone with Endermologie!

  We all live in fear of the appearance of the dreaded ‘orange peel skin’ and truthfully, not many of us escape its arrival.  Whether overweight or not, the fact is that cellulite is a naturally occurring condition caused by trapped ‘pockets’ of fat under our skin which leave us with areas of dimpled, bumpy skin.  The good news is that with the advent of revolutionary new procedures, cellulite can fast become a distant memory.

  Cellulite is most commonly found in women – in the subcutaneous fatty layer underlying the dermis and epidermis on the thighs, buttocks and abdomen.  It is a well known fact that cellulite is almost impossible to get rid off and even those with the healthiest diet, exercise and lifestyle habits suffer from this skin scourge.  Whereas in the past liposuction may have been the only answer, many find this mechanical procedure invasive, rough and painful.  The good news is that Endermologie is safe, quick, easy, effective – and pain free.

  Endermologie is a revolutionary new method of lmphatic draignage for the removal of excess waste, resulting in the banishing of cellulite.  It stimulates the connective tissue of your skin to produce new collagen fibres, resulting in a smooth, tightened and sculpted appearance of the treated skin and underlying tissue.

• The importance of Oxygen – Ozone Therapy Treatments

  Date: 2010.07.05 | Category: Uncategorized | Response: 0

  

  Why is oxygen so important to us?

  Healthy cells in the body need and love oxygen. Most undesirable micro-organisms are anaerobic, which means that they thrive in the absence of oxygen; in fact, they are destroyed by the presence of oxygen. Organisms such as fungi, parasites, bacteria, and primitive viruses like HIV, Epstein Barr, Coxsackie and Cytomegalovirus are often associated with states of ill health. Note that conventional medicine blames these micro-organisms for many chronic illnesses.  

  The body becomes deprived of adequate levels of oxygen through improper breathing, polluted air, inadequate nutrition and junk foods and stress. This provides an anaerobic environment in which the micro-organisms thrive.

  Healthy cells which have sufficient oxygen and nutrients, manufacture an enzyme coating around themselves which protects them against invasion. Oxygen starved cells are unable to produce enough enzymes to fortify their cell walls; they subsequently become weaker and more vulnerable.

  Heat is continually generated through the chemical action of oxygen upon carbon, which releases carbon dioxide for elimination. If insufficient oxygen is present, carbon monoxide is produced instead. Carbon monoxide is an irritant to the nervous system, interferes with organ functions, reduces basal body temperature, and prevents oxygen uptake by the red blood cells. This has the effect of debilitating the body, thus making it susceptible to infection and disease.

  How does it effect us?

  People can survive without water for a week and without food for a month but only four minutes without oxygen before brain damage sets in. As a result of oxidation, the body turns food into heat and energy and excretes microbes and waste products. The human body consists of water of which 90% is lymph and 10% is blood and O2. Cells function by burning sugar in the presence of O2. The waste products are H2O and carbon dioxide. If there isn’t sufficient O2, carbon monoxide and lactic acid build up. Carbon monoxide prevents the red blood cells from taking in O2, and the body’s temperature drops. The lactic acid builds up in the system, blocks nerve pathways, calcifies and eventually causes degeneration. More O2 is needed to break down these toxins. Several toxins are transported by the blood, and some are stored in fat cells. The water content of the body is polluted more and more and this results in illnesses. Cells that have too little oxygen are not able to protect themselves by means of production of a special enzyme layer on the cell surface. Viruses and bacteria can thus easily infiltrate the cell. Oxygen is therefore important for good health. The more O2 the body has, the more energy a body has and the quicker it can get rid of toxins and waste products. Oxidation is important for the body’s metabolism, blood flow, respiratory system and digestive system. Sufficient O2 allows the body to heal itself and to maintain the immune system. Thus Ozone Therapy is one of the recommended treatments to elliminate viral and fungal infection as well as detox the system so the body can absorb more O2.
