Lymphatic Health and the Light Beam Generator
Alternative and conventional physicians readily acknowledge that one of the most important keys to health is an
optimally functioning immune system. Often overlooked as an essential component of immune function, however, is
the lymphatic system. This is a network of vessels and lymph nodes that runs throughout the body, transporting
lymph fluids and eliminating toxins. Affecting every cell and organ in the body, the lymphatic system is the terrain in
which the immune system functions. It serves as a primary cleansing and filtration system, and helps maintain
homeostasis, the body's innate mechanism of self-regulation. Lymphatic functions include: transporting nutrients and
oxygen to the cells and tissues, removing protein waste and other waste matter (including environmental toxins) from
the cells and the body's interstitial ("in-between") regions, maintaining fluid balance in the connective tissue, and
transporting fatty acids from the small intestine to the liver for storage and later use. When the lymphatic system
becomes congested, these functions are impaired, depriving cells of oxygen and affecting the ability of the body to rid
itself of its own waste material. Over time, other body systems that rely on the lymphatic system for waste removal will
also become compromised, setting the stage for pain and disease. A sure sign of lymph congestion is sore or swollen
lymph glands, which are most noticeable in the neck, armpits, groins, and intestines. But illness as wide-ranging as
allergies, fibrocystic disease (non-malignant fibrous growths), and cancer can be related to lymph congestion.
Practitioners of alternative medicine often use diet, herbs, homeopathic remedies, sauna, and manual lymphatic
massage to prevent or reverse lymph congestion, all of which have proven effective in stimulating the flow of lymph to
some degree. While lymph massage helps to drain the lymphatic system and is well received by most patients,
inexperienced therapists can aggravate a patient's condition by pushing the material to other areas of congestion.
Well-trained, conscientious therapists can avoid creating such a problem, but only by spending a great deal of time in
each session.
How Lymph Nodes Work
Lymph nodes are encapsulated, kidney shaped structures that are usually located at intervals along lymph vessels.
When the nodes become blocked, the flow of lymph fluid is impaired. The body is unable to rid itself of waste material
and cells are deprived of oxygen and nutrients, setting the stage for a host of diseases. For this reason, an
increasing number of leading edge healers and physicians are turning to a noninvasive hand-held instrument known
as the Light Beam Generator (LBG) to restore lymph function and eliminate wastes. "The Light Beam Generator is a
valuable tool for restoring proper functioning of the body and immune system defense processes," states Llonka
Harezi, president of ELF International, whose research project head, Courtland Reeves, M.Sc., oversaw the
development of the LBG. The lightweight, hand-held device penetrates many times deeper than lymphatic massage
alone, and also increases the effectiveness of manual drainage of the lymph system. "It's also an effective
preventive, self-care tool that anyone can use after a bit of training," says Dr. Rima E. Laibow, Medical Director of the
Alexandria Institute of Natural and Integrative Medicine in Croton-on-Hudson, New York. Dr. Laibow has had many
success stories using the LBG with otherwise difficult to treat conditions, and assisted in writing the protocols and
descriptive material for the operation manual that accompanies the ELF Laboratories'''' new instrument.
The Lymph System
The lymphatic system is a network of vessels that carries lymph (water, proteins, electrolytes) from the tissue fluids to
the bloodstream. At intervals along the length of lymphatic vessels are swellings (nodes); groups of nodes are found
in the groin, neck, armpit and behind the ear. The nodes function to ”filter” lymph through the action of scavenging
white blood cells and preventing foreign particles from entering the bloodstream. They are also sites of storage and
proliferation of both B- and T- lymphocytes, white blood cells involved in the immune response to infection.
How The Light Beam Generator Works
The Light Beam Generator uses extremely low-current, cold gas light photons to transfer energy frequency patterns
to cells in the targeted lymphatic regions. Frequency modulation is accomplished with light. The LBG is a much softer
technique than using a laser, another light-based technology, and can be safely used by lay practitioners. The device
is about the size of a small suitcase, with two hand-held heads attached on cords.
The Light Beam Generator achieves its results on an energetic level. Cells have an electromagnetic charge that
either binds them together or keeps them apart. The LBG works by re-balancing the charge of the cells'
electromagnetic field. Cells in the lymphatic system can clump together and bond electrically with water to create
disease conditions of swelling or abnormal growths. The LBG is able to separate these cells from each other and their
accumulated fluids. The result is that swelling, tumor masses, and other blockages are easily dispersed. The results
can be amazingly rapid and complete.
The Problem of Edema
Understanding protein break-down will shed some light on this process. According to Dr. Laibow, "in healthy, living
tissues, protein structures are in a state of alignment, but when cells die or become damaged, these protein
structures break down." The lymphatic system is constantly removing wastes, many of which are these damaged
proteins. When there is lymphatic congestion and the proteins are not fully removed, pathologies occur. "These
nonfunctional proteins have the same electrical properties of attraction, but their structures are random and
characterized by instability. This instability causes protein wastes to attract and retain water by electrical bonding."
This build-up is called edema. The most specific and best use of the LBG is for reducing or eliminating edema,
including lymph edema after breast surgery. Using the LBG puts the correct charge back into the cells and breaks up
the congestion caused by clusters of water and pooled protein wastes. The LBG is also able to kill the virus, fungus
and bacteria that feed on the pooled wastes, making the technique particularly effective for such conditions as sinus
congestion, intestinal candida, or respiratory illness including pneumonia. The LBG aids in the removal of unnatural
additives in our food including the steroids that mimic hormones and attach to the proteins. With proper lymphatic
drainage, they can be flushed out. (Drinking a lot of fluids in concert with LBG treatment assists the body in the
detoxification process.)
The Light Beam Generator works by presenting a flood of photons that target the unhealthy, random protein
structures, causing them to release the water they were holding. "Since healthy tissue protein structures do not
attract water, they are not affected by the energy presented by the LBG," Dr. Laibow assures us. "With application of
minimal massage drainage techniques, rapid movement of waste material within the cells can occur, since the delivery
of waste material to the organs and nodes responsible for body waste disposal is greatly enhanced." *This cold gas
ionization technology has been found to reduce manual massage efforts by over 90%, with more immediate relief from
conditions related to blocked lymphatics. It can also be used without massage with excellent results.
Target Treatments
Although ELF International makes no claims about the usefulness of the Light Beam Generator for treating specific
diseases, physicians who use the device in their practice have found significant improvement in a wide range of
conditions. Among these are pain (especially pain involving soft tissue and tissue congestion due to injuries), sciatica,
PMS and inflammation related to menstruation, inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, acne and other skin
problems, allergies, arthritis, bursitis, diabetes, edema, lupus, fibromyalgia, respiratory conditions, scarring, cellulite,
burns, eczema, and fibrocystic disease. The LBG has also been used in the prevention efforts and treatment of
breast and prostate cancers, prostate enlargement, mastodynia (breast tension following ovulation), and headache,
and as an aid in both pre- and post-op surgical procedures. In all cases, improvement is due to the LBG's ability to
improve lymph flow, while enhancing delivery of oxygen and vital nutrients throughout the bloodstream.
The main points for lymphatic flow in the upper body are at the clavical region and sternum. In the lower body, the
points are at the crease in the leg, near the groin (see illustration). These areas are targeted to break up blockages
and improve lymph drainage. Then other areas can be targeted for specific effects. Just 5 or 10 minutes on an
engorged area can ease the swelling dramatically. For instance, puffiness in the face can be reduced with the LBG so
effectively that it can appear that the person had a facelift. More dramatic results are seen when the LBG is used for
treating more serious conditions. In women, treatment of upper body points can remove breast lumps with just two 20-
minute treatments, according to Harezi. In men, lower body points are effective for prostate treatment. Dr. Laibow has
documented cases of autoimmune disorder, lymphedema secondary to breast cancer surgery, and "a host of other
diseases and conditions in which tissue engorgement, compromised lymphatic drainage or other types of fluid
imbalance plays a part." The Light Beam Generator employs two light-emitting heads that are moved over critical
lymph system areas. The light frequencies have the ability to break up pooled protein wastes that clog the system
and thus restore lymphatic drainage.
The Importance of Lymphatic Transport
Cory Carter, N.D., C.N.M.T., M.T., director of Alt Med Ltd., a holistic health clinic in Rapid City, South Dakota, uses the
Light Beam Generator as an integral part of his approach to lymphatic therapy. Most health practitioners focus on
feeding the body or enhancing its ability to eliminate, Dr. Carter states, explaining the importance of the lymphatic
system. "But the idea of transport, the process in between digestion and elimination, is many times forgotten. If
nutrients can't get past the digestive tract and be transported to the area of need, you can supplement until the bank
runs dry and all you will have is the classic ''high-priced stool”. I tried to use various manual lymphatic techniques to
clear the blockages, but achieved only limited success. Although the surface lymphatics responded reasonably well,
the deeper channels invariably did not, or else they were made worse by the additional backed up lymph forced into
the area. Once I began using the Light Beam Generator, however, I was able to affect the deep lymphatic channels
and break up the blockages to restore normal lymphatic flow." Other practitioners agree.
Case Histories
Among Dr. Rima Laibow's success stories is a 62-year old woman with an auto-immune destruction of her muscle
tissue. Steroids had not worked and further contributed to osteoporosis with high pain levels. LBG treatment was
focused on her right shoulder. After twenty minutes, her range of motion without pain had increased and her
"dowager's hump" (a fat accumulation caused by the steroids) had resolved on the treated side. Dr. Laibow's
successes led her to state that the LBG marks a significant leap in the development of non-invasive, non-toxic tools
"to allow the body to regain the ability to regulate itself."
Lymph Node Blockages
Certified Clinical Nutritionist and Dark Field Blood Analyst Irene Oswald uses spot specific therapy with the LBG in
combination with homeopathy for patients with an internal solid mass. One patient was able to eat solid foods for the
first time in several years after six twenty-minute sessions on the intestinal and inguinal area near the groin. With
another client, a 66 year old woman with severe lymphedemia in her right hand and arm, a one-hour session greatly
reduced the swelling and after two additional treatments, her hand returned to and retained its normal size.
Among the more dramatic changes Dr. Carter and his staff have documented using the LBG is in lymph node
blockages, especially within breast tissue. "The terror experienced by women who find a lump in their breast is real
and profound," Dr. Carter notes. "Even the potential of finding a lump in the breast area is enough to cause some
women to simply refuse to do self-exams at all.
"When a lymph node is hard or sore, it is engaged in the warfare of trying to remove toxins or debris from the
lymphatic channel so that it can return to its regular job of transporting oxygen, nutrition, or waste to their proper
sites. But it can only do its job when it isn't blocked. The Light Beam Generator is able to safely remove blockages so
that the nodes are no longer painful. It is important to remember that we are dealing with non-cancerous issues here.
Cancer should only be treated by a qualified physician. But how much healthier will your immune system be when it is
able to function as normally as possible?"
LBG Enhances Other Protocols
In Dr. Carter's experience, one session with the Light Beam Generator is the equal of four to eight strictly manual
lymphatic massage sessions alone. "It seems that with the Light Beam Generator we can get the lymph to be drawn
into the large intestine and eliminated very quickly. It is not uncommon to see, over an eight to twelve hour period, a
light colored coating on fecal matter as it is eliminated. This appears to be excess lymph being sloughed off by the
body as a result of LBG treatment." Like Dr. Carter, other health therapists who incorporate the Light Beam
Generator in their practice find that, once the flow of lymph and the elimination of wastes have been restored to
normal, it is essential to then address important day-to-day factors such as diet, nutrition, body structure, and mental
health in order to achieve optimum long-term results. By focusing on such factors after LBG treatment, an
individualized program can be developed to prevent a recurrence of the problem and to resolve any remaining health
problems.
