Cold
Sheet Treatment
I
know, this sounds like it may be a sorority prank, but
it is actually a very powerful healing technique.
The purpose of the cold sheet treatment is to artificially
induce or increase the body's temperature thereby accelerating
the bodies immune response. The important thing
to remember anytime heat is used with the body is to
keep very well hydrated. A high temperature in
a well hydrated body is safe and even healthy.
The temperature can raise to 103 or 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
However if the body is dehydrated and the temperature
is raised, the body can overheat causing seizure or
damage. Drinking plenty of fluids is more than
sipping a savory tea. It is drinking until your
stomach is full and then drinking some more. As
follows, I will describe the cold sheet treatment as
taught by Dr. John Christopher and then a few modification
that can be made.
Indications:
The cold sheet treatment is used during the
course of any infectious illness such as a cold or
the flu. It can also be used with chronic degenerative
illness.
Contraindications:
Small children, the very elderly, heart disease
or moderate to severe hypertensive conditions, extreme
weakness and debility. (For goodness sakes,
use your common sense.) This procedure unmodified
is quite rigorous so if you are inexperienced or if
your patient is constitutionally very weak use your
good judgment.
This
procedure is not to be done alone. Have one
or two people administer this to the patient.
THE
COLD SHEET TREATMENT
1.
Begin with a cool enema of herbal tea (red
raspberry or catnip
herbal tea is good). This is design to cleanse
and clear the bowel of loose fecal matter in preparation
for step 2 the garlic injection. You may want
to evacuate the bowel a couple of times. Each
time hold the water in the bowel as long as you
can before releasing. Be sure and lubricate
the enema tip with oil or Vaseline.
2.
Next use a rectal syringe from the drug store to
introduce a garlic solution. In a blender
mix 8-10 cloves of fresh garlic in 1 cup of water
and 1 cup of apple cider vinegar. For many
this is the most intense part of this procedure.
It is very safe, but does burn. Squirt in
as much of the solution as you can. Keep the
garlic solution in as long as you can, usually about
2 minutes before expelling. Even after expelling
it, you will retain enough to do you good.
The burning and cramping will subside in a couple
of minutes.
3.
Make a tea bag out of a sock and add into it one or
more ounces of ginger
root powder, yellow
mustard powder and cayenne
pepper powder. Fill the bath as hot as is
tolerable with burning the skin. Before the
patient gets in, it is important to coat your genitals
with plenty of Vaseline. Put the patient in
the bath and begin giving them hot/warm herbal tea
to drink. Use yarrow
(one of the best diaphoretics) or peppermint
or ginger
tea. The goal is to drink 6 to eight full cups
of tea. It is the helpers' job to get as much
tea as possible into the patient. If the patient
becomes faint or light-headed place a cold washcloth
on the forehead. Cayenne
tincture in the mouth will also prevent faintness.
If the muscles become rigid or begin to spasm use
lobelia tincture orally. Keep the patient in
the tub for at least a half hour. Usually by
20 minutes they'll be aching to get out, but keep
them in as long a possible drinking tea until it's
coming out their ears.
4.
Prepare a double sized cotton sheet (it must be
100% cotton) by soaking it in a sink or tub of water
and ice. Use lots of ice. Prepare the
patients bed by putting a plastic sheet or lining
against the mattress under the bed sheets.
When the patient stands up out of the bath wrap
the ice-cold sheet around him/her. Then escort
them to bed wrapped in the sheet. Tuck them
into bed, sheet and all then cover with natural
fiber blankets. Wrap them up in a cozy cocoon
with a towel around the head leaving a face opening.
Dr. Christopher recommends coating the soles of
the feet with a garlic paste, then putting socks
on the feet before putting them in bed. The
paste is made by mixing mashed garlic with petroleum
jelly. You can use the garlic that you strained
from step two.
5.
By lying in the sheet for several hours (preferably
over night), the body will continue to sweat toxins
out of the body. Often the sheet will be stained
with these toxins. Keep the patient in bed
for at least 2-3 hours.
6.
Upon arising sponge off with apple
cider vinegar and water (half and half) before
taking a shower. This will wipe the toxins
off the skin so they won't be reabsorbed during
the shower.
There
are countless modifications to this procedure.
For example with a child, you can simply put them in
warm bath, have them drink some herbal tea, give them
immune
boost, then tuck them into bed. However, for
the full impact and benefit follow the full procedure
(don't wimp out on the enemas or the cold sheet because
it sounds harsh or radical). |
