The term probiotics has been floating around the alternative health arena for quite some time now. What are they? Probiotics, to put it simply, are living microorganisms that can be found in the human gut. They are the friendly bacteria that when given in tolerable amounts, can greatly benefit the body. Many have started using probiotics in congruence with colon hydrotherapy to alleviate certain aliments such as irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, stomach inflammation, periodontal disease and skin infections. Where are they found? Probiotics can be found in a variety of food products and dietary supplements. Food that contains probiotics includes milk, yogurt, some juices, soy beverages and miso. Uses for health So why is such a big deal for health? These friendly bacteria are crucial to the development of the immune system and are used to protect against bad bacteria in the gut that can cause disease. They also are vital for digestion and the absorption of nutrients within the body. The balance in a person’s gut can play a major role in disease and can be affected by antibiotics and unfriendly bacteria. Therefore, probiotics can be used to treat diarrhea, to reduce the recurrence of bladder cancer, to shorten the duration of intestinal infections and to prevent urinary tract infections.

Moxibustion is a tradition Chinese medicine that involves the burning of tightly bound herbs to target acupunture points and expedite the body’s natural healing process. In combination with colonic irrigation, it can provide tremendous benefits to the body. How Moxibustion is used The purpose of moxibustion is to promote the body’s natural healing process. The herbs are burned at acupuncture points and the heat produced penetrates into the body to restore balance and qi. At Transformational Health in Palos Verdes, we use moxibustion in combination with colonic irrigation for a complete total body cleanse. Types of moxibustion There are two common types of moxibustion: direct and indirect. Direct moxibustion involves the burning of moxa (tightly wound dried leaves from mugwort and wormwood) directly on the acupuncture points. This method promotes healing but also can produce pain and scarring. Indirect moxibustion involves burning the tightly wound herbs above the skin or on an acupuncture needle that’s already in place. It can also be done by placing garlic, ginger or salt on the skin and then burning the moxa. This method produces little or no pain and no scarring. What ailments is it used for? Moxibustion dates back thousands of years to early northern China. It has been used for digestive problems, ulcers, arthritis, and to increase circulation to the pelvis. At Transformational Health in Palos Verdes we offer colonic irrigation and moxibustion to provide you with a total body benefit. Contact us today for your consultation.

The lymphatic system is responsible for regulating the immune system and riding the body of fluid and waste. It also absorbs fatty acids and fats from the circulatory system and transports white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes. Occasionally the lymphatic system can become clogged. Lymph massage stimulates the flow of fluid throughout the lymphatic system to remove harmful substances and increase the function of the immune system. Symptoms of a clogged lymph system When blockages occur in the lymphatic system, the body can become sluggish, tired, heavy and susceptible to infection. Aches, soreness and flu like systems can also be attributed to a congested lymphatic system. A clogged system can also lead to:
The Benefits of Lymphatic Massage
The process At Transformational Health in Palos Verdes, we use a very light pressure with soft pumping movements in the direction of the lymph nodes to stimulate the lymphatic system. It’s important to drink a lot of water after the massage to flush away the toxins. Safety concerns Lymph massage is general considered to be safe. However, like all massage therapies, there can be minor complications. These can include acute inflammation, malignant tumors, thrombosis and major heart problems. To get the best results from a lymphatic massage, use a qualified lymphatic massage therapist. At Transformational Health, we are committed to providing you with the best therapy for your body. We promote overall health and wellness. Contact us today to set up an appointment with a qualified lymphatic massage therapist. Palos Verdes: 310-392-9190
Every day we come across a multitude of toxins that our bodies aren’t truly able to digest. Fast food, preservatives and other items that we ingest on a daily basis are causing harmful pollutants to build up within our bodies. Those toxins can cause a wide array of symptoms such as fatigue, depression, constipation and other health conditions. While it’s possible to get rid of some of those toxins through exercise and healthier eating, it’s important to cleanse your system on a regular basis. A juice cleansing detox along with colon hydrotherapy can be extremely beneficial to your body. What is juice cleansing? Juice cleansing is a natural way to rid the body of harmful contaminants, create more energy and improve overall health. It involves short-term intake of raw fruit and vegetable juice as well as water. Juice fasting can spur weight loss when combined with exercise and healthy eating. Detox diets that involve a juice cleanse can have different schedules and can last from a few days up to an entire month. These cleanses are usually done during the warmer months of the year. Guidelines for detox Like every other cleanse, there are certain guidelines you should follow when starting a juice cleanse. Try to avoid alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, dairy, wheat and animal meat a week before cleansing. During detox, try to consume between 32 and 64 ounces of juice a day. Feel free to use organic celery, kale, apple, pineapple, cabbage, carrots, beets and greens, but you should try to avoid citrus fruits. Make sure to drink enough water during the day to keep hydrated as well. Some people use a variation on the juice detox and have one meal per day. After juice cleansing After cleansing, you should gradually return to eating normally – returning to a regular diet after your detox could upset your stomach. In combination with colon hydrotherapy, you should expect a noticeable boost of energy and a more efficient digestive system. Transformational Health in Palos Verdes and Santa Monica can help guide you through a juice cleansing detox and put together a personal colon hydrotherapy detox plan.

Through the constant parade of vitamins and minerals marketed to us every day, choosing the ones that really matter can be kind of like picking a needle out of haystack. So instead of taking daily supplements, we hope that our healthy diets will take care of our immune system. While a healthy diet is extremely beneficial to our bodies, vitamin D supplements may offer an extra boost of protection against disease. An increasing amount of the population is being diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency. But simply taking a supplement and getting a bit more sun exposure may be the answer to better health. Where it’s found Vitamin D is naturally synthesized in the body when our skin is exposed to sunlight. Most experts say that 10 – 20 minutes of sunlight exposure a day is enough to prevent vitamin D deficiency. It’s also found in fish, eggs, cod liver oil and fortified milk. There are two kinds of the vitamin that are important in humans. Vitamin D2 is synthesized by plants and vitamin D3 is synthesized by humans when exposed to ultraviolet-B rays. How it helps the body Vitamin D is mostly used to aid in the absorption of calcium within the body to maintain strong bones and maintain normal levels of phosphorus. However, research has recently implicated that the vitamin may also provide protection against autoimmune diseases, cancer and hypertension. According to the Mayo Clinic, Vitamin D may help regulate cellular growth and possibly prevent cells from turning cancerous. Taking a supplement may also help with autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. In one study, women who took at least 400 IU of vitamin D per day were 40 percent less likely to develop MS. In one study at Creighton University, researchers discovered a 60 to 77 percent decrease in cancer rates among postmenopausal women, and a study at the University of California-San Diego found that a daily intake of 2,000 IU of Vitamin D and 10 to 15 minutes in sunlight reduced the chance of colorectal cancer by nearly 66 percent. Supplements along with colon hydrotherapy Getting an ample amount of vitamin D along with other therapies – like colon hydrotherapy – can really create major health benefits. The colon plays a major part in the health of the body. Old bacteria that build up inside the colon can be absorbed through the walls of the colon and cause toxicity and infection. Cleansing the colon regularly along with at least 10 – 20 minutes of sun exposure a day may prevent many illnesses. If you’re looking for colonics in Santa Monica or colonics in Palos Verdes, our expert colon hydrotherapists can put together a personalized detox program for you.
As one of the leading causes of cancer deaths, breast cancer diagnoses are increasing throughout the world. But many studies are now saying that iron plays a major role in the development of breast cancer. A study by the Department of Bimolecular Sciences in Urbino Italy, found that the ductal fluid of women with breast cancer had higher levels of ferritin, a protein that transports iron and aluminum. It isn’t necessarily the intake of iron that causes cancer, but the release of it within the body that is harmful.
Why is the release of iron dangerous?
More than 90 percent of the iron we intake binds to protective proteins within the body. Free iron, that is iron that isn’t bound to protective proteins, can cause inflammation, free radical generation and lipid peroxidation within the body.
What causes the release?
Both aluminum and alcohol have been linked to the release of iron. Large amounts of either substance can cause the iron to free from its protein and build up within the body. If this occurs, a tumor can form. Vaccines have also been linked to an increase of aluminum within the body.

Though many may not be aware of it, an extensive source of sickness is due to a deficiency in our diet of minerals and trace minerals. Our water and soil are contaminated with agricultural chemicals, industrial waste, germicides and other chemicals. These poisons have not only killed important bacteria in the eco-system but have worked their way into our bodies. Water that is stripped of minerals causes an unbalance in both our bodies and our eco-system. Our bodies can become acidic, dehydrated and incapable of absorbing the vital nutrients in supplements, vitamins and even food that we consume. At Transformational Health, we believe it’s important to provide your body with the necessary tools it needs to remain healthy. Along with regular colon hydrotherapy, we advise patients to add Adya Clarity to their drinking water.
What is Adya Clarity?
Adya Clarity is a solution developed from magnetic sulphate minerals. Extracted from the rarest and purest volcanic mineral deposit of Black Mica in Japan, it is added to regular drinking water to purify and optimize it for optimal cellular function. A special process is used to extract the elements within the Black Mica, so that they are made 100% bioavailable.
What does Adya Clarity do?
When added to drinking water, Adya Clarity reduces or eliminates heavy metals, chemicals, plastics, chlorine, and other elements that are harmful to the body, to restore balance. The solution also stimulates oxygen within the body, which aids in the absorption of essential nutrients. These para-magnetic sulfate minerals are essential for enhancing the function of enzymes.
Where to find it?
Transformational Health in Palos Verdes carries Adya Clarity and recommends using it in combination with colon hydrotherapy for a healthy intestinal balance and overall wellbeing. Visit our Palos Verdes location or call to make your appointment today.

It’s no secret that a probiotic rich diet is important for the function of your body, but many experts are now saying that it’s important for your brain function and overall mood as well. A recent study published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America found that people with a probiotic rich diet were more active and less susceptible to anxiety.
This research has led some experts to believe that the balance of microbes within the gut is directly related to brain health. The National Institute of Health, NIH, has been researching the importance of microbes since 2007, but the concept has been around for more than a decade. According to the research of NIH, the “microbiome” is a forgotten organ within the body, and abandoning its nutritional needs is having a very poor influence on our health. That’s why many experts are now recommending regular colonics for intestinal and brain health.
How does it relate to the brain?
Researchers found that microbes can influence glycoproteins. These glycoproteins are vital in brain synapse formation in the early stages of development, meaning that they directly influence brain health. Experts also theorize that the vagus nerve in the stomach directly communicates with the brain via microbes, causing an increase in serotonin levels when there is a healthy balance.
A better mood with colonics
Transformational Health in Palos Verdes and Santa Monica recommends a diet rich in probiotics and fermented foods along with regular colonics for a healthy microbiome. We believe that regular colonics is key to a healthy brain and a healthy mood. Serotonin, the chemical responsible for the feeling of well-being, is influenced by the microbes in your gut. That’s why you feel better emotionally after a colonic.

The U.S. is known to be one of the most unhealthy nations in the world. Chronic illness is on the rise and Americans are generally uneducated on many health issues. It’s no wonder that almost all U.S. citizens have some kind of mineral deficiency. The following excerpt is taken from the booklet “Minerals – The Fundamental Necessity for Perfect Health and the Electrical Potential of Divine Expression” by Rich Anderson. At Transformational Health in Palos Verdes and Santa Monica we seek to educate all of our clients on ways in which they can better their overall health for life. Please take in the following valuable information to improve your well-being and lifestyle: MINERALS- THE FUNDAMENTAL NECESSITY FOR PERFECT HEALTH & THE ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL OF DIVINE EXPRESSION
According to the US Departments of health in 1982 America was known to be one of the sickest of 100 civilized nations on Earth, being 95th in terms of chronic and degenerative diseases. In 1987, it was revealed that America had dropped to the bottom
of the list- number 100. It has been recorded that 40% of the people who say they feel “good” actually suffer from a chronic disease. It is a well-known governmental fact that over 99% of Americans are deficient in minerals. This is obviously a serious contributing factor in the poor health of the American people.
Why are minerals so important to good health? All nutritional elements such as enzymes, vitamins, amino acids, proteins, fats, sugars, carbohydrates, etc., as well as all body functions are dependent upon minerals. And there is another element which is seldom referred to when speaking of nutritional elements, and yet it is the most crucial one of them all. This element is simply, light. Light is electrical; light is a substance of varying degrees and values. Light provides the life, potential, and ability for the bodies enzymes, vitamins, and amino acids as well as all chemical and biological functions (which include the nerve currents). The lack of light causes old age, sickness, and disease. When cells do not have light, they die. As a measurable nutritional element, light is what gives life to the nucleus of each cell. And not only can the electrical quantity of individual cells be measured, but the electrical currents generated by the collective cell structure of individual organs can be measured as well. Herein lies the secret of radiant health and the strength of mind and body that can manifest to arch a degree that the aging process is actually inhibited. Herein lies the means of increasing the electrical potential, the electrical capacity, and the electrical conductivity, of each cell of the body. But in order for this complete healing and rejuvenation of the body to come about, two major conditions must be achieved-one must obtain complete purity of the physical structure and one must have the minerals. Purity is necessary to eliminate all obstructer or short circuiting of the flow of that greater life or electrical force. The minerals provide the necessary vehicles upon which the electrical currents travel. When the body is deficient in minerals, it is deficient in light and, therefore, deficient in health. It is this light or life that feeds radiant power to our molecular cell structure and to our enzymes. Lower this light or life activity and you reduce the potential of every metabolic process in the body.
Man is deficient on minerals for two major reasons: (1) the food he eats does not have the nutrients, and (2) he has mucoid layers in the stomach, small intestines and colon which are inhibiting proper assimilation of nutrients. The floss one finds on the commercial market are often not fit to eat. Much of our farmlands are depleted, polluted and unbalanced. Fallout from air and industrial pollution, polluted water and the consistent use of unnatural, untested chemicals and potential carcinogens used in soil, on seeds, buds, plants, and packaging have dangerously affected the nutritional and safety aspects of our foods. And as if to add evil upon evil, the fruits on the commercial market are generally unripe and undeveloped so that they have a longer “shelf life.” the of course, man further destroys the value of food through cooking, freezing, preserving, microwaving, pasteurizing, and now worst of all through irradiation. Irradiation annihilates precious enzymes and vitamins-the very life elements of the food. Now since man is lacking in minerals(or any biochemicals), the corresponding organs and functions of the body are restricted and damaged, causing further congestion and toxicity.
The average lifespan of a red blood cell is 120 days. When it dies it must be replaced by new ones. However if the body has not been
supplied with the proper bio-nutrients, the physical structure and it’s organs and tissues are unable to rejuvenate themselves. The body begins it’s natural process of deterioration. Minerals affect so many aspects of healthy body function. For example, you may have heard that the acid-alkaline (pH) balance in the intestines is controlled by the intestinal flora. But few are aware that the pH balance of the body tissue is controlled by minerals.
How many suffer hormone problems? Glandular hormone secretions depend upon minerals. Heart problems may be due to the lack of the minerals potassium or magnesium. Skin problems often reflect a lack of silicon in the form of psoriasis, eczema, rashes, and itching. A lack of mineral silicon can also result in shaking, loss of hair, gray hair, poor nails, frazzled nerves. Those who suffer from stomach and digestive disorders or arthritis should look at their sodium intake-are they taking in enough organic sodium? Or are they consuming to much inorganic sodium (e.g. table salt) in their diets? Even various brain malfunctions are attributable to the lack of some of the trace minerals. Minerals are crucial for good elimination. (And good elimination is crucial for purity and good health!) Organic minerals, in conjunction with enzymes, neutralize free radicals and other metabolic cell waste so that they can be eliminated. Chelated, or organic minerals actually draw out the inorganic, harmful minerals of the body’s blood vessels, arthritic joints, etc. Which are so often the cause of much trouble.
THE BEST SUPPLEMENTAL SOURCE OF ORGANIC MINERALS & WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT
The most effective mineral supplement should be derived from organic vegetation and in a chelated and colloidal form. The finest and most effective mineral supplement of this sort that one can find is LIQUID MINERALS. They are from 100% organic substances and, being chelated and colloidal, have the ability to combine with the body’s enzymes and draw out the joints, blood and body tissues the harmful inorganic minerals and drugs that cause so much harm. It is well known that the highest concentration of vegetable nutrition is derived from seaweeds. The source of LIQUID MINERALS is pre-historic vegetable seabeds-free from toxic chemical contamination of any kind. Due to their organic nature and because they bar colloidal (when by the method of aqueous extraction the mineral particles are infused into a suspension of submicroscopic substance), LIQUID MINERALS are easily absorbed by the body.
LIQUID MINERALS are so tiny they are capable of being absorbed even through the unnatural mucoid layers in the intestines and stomach which generally prohibit proper digestion and assimilation of the food one eats. Due to their organic, chelated, and colloidal form, LIQUID MINERALS do not even need to pass through the digestive system to be utilized. They are capable of being assimilated through the pores of the skin.
You can test this for yourself the nest time you get a burn. Spray some LIQUID MINERALS on the burn and notice the pain disappearing in seconds. For a more serious burn, notice how quickly it heals!
At Transformational Health, we seek to educate our clients on the ways in which they can take control of their own health. Through colonics and personalized detox programs, YOU will be able to dictate the direction of your health and drive your body towards overall wellbeing. Regular colonics, healthy diet, raindrop therapy, lymph massage and personalized detox programs can prevent you from requiring prescription drugs, thereby decreasing the amount of visits to the doctor. While visiting the doctor may be beneficial for certain illnesses or accidents, it’s sometimes not in your best interest.
Sixwise.com recently published an article titled, “How Drug Companies Brainwash Doctors so Doctors Brainwash You with Drugs.” The article speaks of the various ways in which drug companies influence doctors to prescribe certain medications to their clients. Courting your doctor occurs as early as their early years in medical school and continues throughout a doctor’s career. It goes as far as offering payment in return for prescription of their products.
Free samples of drugs are one major way that doctors promote a particular drug over a drug where that patent has worn off. These companies give out free samples of ‘newer’ drugs and provide incentives to doctors for promoting their brand. Incentives not only include the occasional no-strings attached check, but free lunches and vacations as well.
Transformational Health in Palos Verdes and Santa Monica suggests you thoroughly research any medication either prescribed or gifted to you. We also suggest taking control of your health through regular colonics and detoxification programs. Both of our offices offer consultations for your personal health goals and supply you with options to improve your quality of life without the use of prescription drugs.
