robbing here I'm a green smoothie girl
and I'm a sis of healing in Mesa Arizona
with brandy doctor Lodi has hooked me up
a whole lot of different therapies here
at Oasis if healing to study and observe
what's happening with cancer patients
who plug into a lot of different
modalities to heal their cancer doesn't
involve cutting burning poisoning and
one of his favorites I noticed since
every single day he says have you met
brandy yet have you done Randy have you
had your lymphatic drainage therapy yet
and so finally today I just had a
treatment with brandy this is an
exciting opportunity because she's going
to show us something that I was about to
do a video on and I might have been
about to show it wrong because brandy is
an expert in lymphatic health used to be
actually be I'm an ICU nurse current
current and but just so you know a
little bit about her she's beautiful
she's fit but nine years ago you were
diagnosed with lupus yes and you are
four years passed your antibody free
symptom free for at least four years
yeah yes yes and what what were the
things that you did that made the
biggest difference probably the biggest
thing was juicing and changing my diet
for me I found that the juicing was like
getting IV nutrition getting all of
these wonderful great things in that you
just can't possibly eat enough of so
that made the biggest difference and
then following into lymphatic therapy so
brandy told me she used to be a meat and
potatoes girl seriously yeah and now
you're a hundred percent raw yes and I
said well how are you feeling now would
you say oh I feel fantastic I feel like
a whole new person I have you know it's
easy to stay fit and be healthy and have
energy it's just it's different it's
awesome
yeah I think this is the fourth video
I've done in since this summer
it's November right now but since this
summer you have done four videos with
folks with lupus saying
when I started to eat raw plant food so
I I don't know what well for me like
coming from a clinical aspect lupus is
strictly inflammation in the body it's
the body gone haywire is the immune
system taking control and doing what it
wants to and so the only way that you
can really get rid of inflammation is to
pay attention to what you're putting in
yeah so yeah all diseases or
inflammation ceases at the end of the
day so that's kind of a side story very
excited Brandis going to show us the
correct way to skin brush I started skin
brushing like 20 years ago and I felt
the wagon about it because to me it was
all about clearing dead skin cells
because what the skin eliminates we're
like a pound of waste products this skin
does so much and I'll be really really
quick but if you look at the skin like
the constituents of sweat it actually
mimics urine so the skins like at their
kidney and it really moves a lot of ways
so yes you are exfoliating you are
clearing off dead skin cells you your
skin regenerates every 28 days you're
helping that process keeping you
beautiful but I didn't but but it also
clears lymph and gets lymph moving it
does because underneath the skin in that
space just below the skin that space we
call it interstitial space 70% of your
lymph is there so you can if you're
brushing correctly effect a huge amount
of your lymphatic system keeping that
moving that will help keep the internal
stuff moving as well keeping it working
the way that it's supposed to because we
don't have a pump we don't have a
mechanism that's going without us
thinking like we breathe without
thinking the heart beats without
thinking your lymph it requires a little
bit of thought yeah if you've ever seen
lymph like in a movie or whatever they
show the inside of a lymph duct it's
moving very slowly
if we can get it then we then we have a
river rather than a pond if we get it
moving and this is going to make a big
difference with moving live yeah yes yes
and moving toxins and cellulite and
helping your skin it's got a lot of
vanity benefits too so it's for you know
yeah what do I do with it do we brush
towards the well what we're doing I'm
going to show you teach you just really
quick about watersheds and how the body
drains because you
it does ultimately end up above the
heart but it doesn't go there doesent
you're not going to brush straight to
the heart that's not the way that the
body actually works so watersheds if we
take the body the watersheds are little
barriers that are within the body where
the lymph will flow to it and it drops
down it doesn't cross over so we're
going to work within these these
barriers and the body little imaginary
lines on the body so a start with
there's one they go straight down so
right and left don't communicate
normally typically right and left don't
communicate your next one you've got a
couple of horizontal watersheds you've
got one if you stick your put your thumb
in your armpits come across your chest
you've got a horizontal watershed here
so you've got lymph that'll move up this
way and you've got lymph it'll come
around your next watershed is the last
floater rib the lowest part of your
ribcage you're going to make a belt like
around your body with that so we know
you've got sections we're dividing the
body into sections from their coast and
I need to stand stand up really quick so
you've got then you've got one in the
groin then you're going to follow that
around the hip to the tailbone okay and
then from there we're going to go
there's one that's straight down
parallel through the legs of toes and
there's one in the arm that's going to
come from your thumb if you follow your
thumb excuse me
brush here follow your thumb towards
your armpit so we're going to work in
each different section so the way though
that you start you're going to be up
here around the collarbone this is where
the drains are you have a thoracic duct
and the right subclavian duct these are
what actually dump back into the
vascular system above the heart we're
going to stimulate along the collarbone
using just circles along the collarbone
and then remember this watershed right
here that's just following along the
armpits of this section it's going to be
brushed up towards the collarbone that's
the way that that drains from there this
is the place to start from there you can
really go anywhere you want to in the
body I'm for simplistic sake here I'm
going to start with the arm and I'm
going
move down the right side right and left
you're going to treat the same way so
top of your hand where remember this
watershed that we talked about here so
the top of your hand and arm is going to
come up over the shoulder to the
collarbone
so you can do brushes in short little
speeds it's the way I do it
you can move long ones all the way up
over to the top just try to get at least
three swipes in each area so that you're
stimulating and Moving's you're
stimulating blood flow nerves lymph
everything you're also working with you
know going back to vanity you're also
working with the collagen and elastin
production in the skin so those of you
that have had real thin skin from
steroid damage and medication damage you
can actually change that with skin
brushing you can actually get back the
tone and texture in your skin with skin
brushing so exciting that's awesome so
now um from your palm you're going to
come up up the arm and you're coming
towards the armpit and you're going to
stop here at the top of the armpit the
palm of hand down to here from there
we're looking at the breast you can
brush the breast of course but you're
going to go from areola out the nipple
out so you're going to go like a
pinwheel you're going to come around it
and out you're not going to brush
straight up and over it because the
lymph doesn't work that way this
includes men it's the same in men the
lymph pattern is the same so if you want
to do that you can do that what I found
is if you're really working the
parasternal nodes and the pectoral nodes
over here that the breast will be free
to drain but this is important when
we're looking to incidences of breast
cancer out there being for eating
brisket yes yeah so a little bit
difficult here to show so you're coming
up between the breast parasternal nose
you're going to come over to the side
here you're going to come around the top
of the breast and you're going to come
down here below it so for going back to
this watershed here so we're working
this is the area we're working in so
we're going to come this way under the
breast over liver all of this stuff
going here lower line
all of this and you're going to bring it
up to the armpit and this is an
important piece here because women in
particular tend to collect in the armpit
anything you have any pad of stuff and a
gooey stuff any hard firm stuff it's all
congested lymph we don't collect fat in
the armpit it's all congested lint so we
want to work on that so making sure when
you're brushing that you're not leaving
it here that you're following through
and coming all the way up over the top
of the armpit okay this is an important
thing so the back you're going to come
around the same as you're doing the
front bring everything to the side and
come up the armpit do some following
sweeps here to make sure you haven't
left anything behind keeping this open
and if you you know so then from there
this watershed we're coming back to the
waistline we're actually going to go
down this is different from what you see
out in there in literature so we're
going to go down from this waistline
watershed we're going to go down to the
groin and we're going to go all the way
around the back and down to the tailbone
remember this line that we had here kind
of like a panty line you're going to
come around the hip so everything's
going to go down and then when you're
dealing with the legs you're just going
to stay parallel you're not going to
cross inside and outside because of that
water show that goes down the middle
you're going to come from the bottom
come from your feet and move up
important again to follow through to the
watershed so when you're coming up the
inside you're going to go all the way up
to the top to the groin you're coming up
the outside don't stop here bring it up
bring it up to the watershed back of the
leg over the butt to the tailbone
perfect these are ubiquitous you can get
these at you know like Bed Bath and
Beyond
Walmart whatever is everywhere
everywhere and you do it with your skins
driver you can show yes absolutely
now if you can't do it in the morning
because your schedule says I just can't
throw it one more thing in there do it
before bed you just don't want to have
wet skin you don't have lotions creams
oils you want to have the day go by and
have those absorb in that is some of the
best information I've gotten
all time I've been here at Oasis a
feeling super excited that you did this
video with me I just you're welcome
yeah well it's a really unusual
information that we don't know and how
how fortunate we are that we're hearing
it from somebody who knows a ton about
the lymphatic system so thank you so
much for being with us brandy you're
welcome thank you see they say
you
