Hygiene
Everybody knows a bit about hygiene. But when and where do you have to take hygiene a little bit more serious?
Hygiene in hospitals and outpat. Departments
A lot of ill people come together in hospitals and CF-Departements. All of theses people carry more ore less bacterias inside themselves, which are resistant to different antibiotics. This means the bacterias don't react to certain antibiotics anymore.
So hospitals and outpat. Departments are reservoir for dangerous viruses, bacteria, fungi... Top rule must be to avoid those dangerous viruses… being passed on to patients.
Taking blood and introducing cannulas requires certain steps to insure sterility and to prohibit infection with other germs, as these germs can gain aces directly into the blood- circulation. In this case the unspecific immune-system, for example stomach acid which usually kills all the germs, can't get active.
Hand-disinfection is the only right method to protect the patients against infections. But hand- disinfection dries out skin and so it is often forgotten or just not done.
In this connection I would like to quote out of the standard book of nursing from L. Juchli, the book of practical and theoretical nursing and health:
Hand- disinfection is the most necessary, safest and cheapest method to avoid hospital infections.
Clean hands are a matter of decency and respect for other people.

The nasal washout/ -lavage
The nasal washout is perfect for rinsing tough mucus out of the nose. You fill the receptacle with boiling water and add Emser Salz® to it. After letting it cool down you hold rinser to nose and sniff in the water. Overpressure builds up due to the water- pillar and makes it a lot easier to rinse. The nose is not only rinsed, but also moistorised, so it can function better again as a filter for strange particles infect defence.
The nasal washout serves following duties:
- removes tough mucus
- because the mucus is removed every day it can't function anymore as a reservoir for pseudomonas, which harm the lungs
- prevents from achieving a sinusitis
- no crusts are produced, the nasal mucous membrane does not dry out. It can function better as a filter and protect the body from infections
- you are able to smell better again, because no more mucus lies on the receptors of the nostrils. This means a higher quality of life.

Sucking oil
What is sucking oil and how does it work?
The therapie, which origins in Russia, is most effect-full, if practised with sunflower-oil from organic farming. Oil is chewed in mouth, pulled through the teeth for about 10 to 20 min. The oil is mixed with saliva and emulgates slowly into a milk- kind fluid. After chewing it has to be spat out again, because it binds all the toxic substances which have gathered in the mouth and throat area.
The Clou: the emulsion binds water- soluble and fat- soluble toxic substances. So sucking oil works on a clensing and on an excreting basis.
The indications for sucking oil are wide ranging:
- respiratory tract: cough, bronchitis, cold, flew, asthma
- mouth and throat: inflammation of the gum, gum bleeding, paradontosis, tonsillitis...
- head: dry eyes, burning eyes, conjunctivitis...
- heart and circulation: heart- rhytmen disorder, thrombosis, instabil circulation...
- skin: eczema, neurodermitis, skin- irritation, acne, psoriasis...
- digestion : gastritis, stomach- aches, colon- ulcer...
- others : urinal-tract infections, caries, illneses due to fungus...
Why are the indications so wide ranging???
- The continuing sucking- movement stimulates the thyme- gland (centre of immunity)
- The saliva- glands do not only function as digestive organs, but also help to excret toxic substances (the blood-circulation is increased)
- The chewing stimulates the lymph- streem. Lymph, especially in the head- area, depends strongly on the muscle- movement at the cheaks, temples, neck- region, etc…Lymph cleans the tissue and strongly influences the immunesystem...
- Chewing keeps the larynx open, it works like a fine autogene drainige, mucus is loosened.
Can you use other oil?
Yes, but the sunflower oil is blessed with the whole power of the sun.
While chewing we pick up the light- energy- particles, the photons, which are stored in the poly- unsacchurated- faty- acids of the oil.
How to chew the oil:
2 or 3 times a day you slurp a teaspoon full of oil into your mouth. It is important that it is already here emulgated. After 10, but even better 20 min. you spit it out again and brush your teeth. Never should the oil be swallowed.
