Sunlight & Photosynthesis

Did you know that sunlight is a form of food?

Firstly and most importantly the human body uses sunlight photons to convert fat in the skin into Vitamin D3, which is more of a hormone / complex transmitter than a vitamin, creating a stronger immune system, stimulating and targeting the elimination of bacteria and fungi, reducing autoimmunity and inflammation, enhancing brain function, mood and sleep, strengthening muscles, reducing risk of high blood pressure and heart disease, regulating blood sugar, pancreatic and insulin function, burning fat, reducing the formation of cancer cells, healing the intestinal lining, stimulating and strengthening hair production and integrity, supporting fertility, proper calcium absorption from the intestines and into bones, and even regulating the expression of about 1000-2000 genes in DNA.

Secondly the human body can transform light into usable energy, not in the same way, but comparably similar to plants. Sunlight actively converts the water (H2O) in the human body into structured water (H3O2-) enhancing electron-transport chains.

Direct sunlight exposure stimulates melanin production (darkening of the skin) and melanin acts as a photonic transducer dissociating water into hydrogen and oxygen increasing oxygen levels in the body, at the same time releasing electrons and recombining the resulting products safely. More electrons means a more efficient electron-transport chain system.

The mitochondria or primary energy organelles of the human body also absorb UV and Infra-Red sunlight rays to optimise their electron-transport chains, ATP (energy) production and redox potential.

Through the eyes sunlight regulates wake-sleep cycles enhances melatonin production allowing for deeper sleep and therefore more efficient night-time detoxification.

Lastly, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, sunlight and the sun are considered to be one of the purest sources of natural Yang energy in the natural world, so sunbathing is one of the best ways to absorb pure Yang energy into the body, blood and organs. This ancient theory corroborates the modern science around the body using and converting sunlight into energy.

LARGE INTESTINE 11

This point is one of the most powerful Heat clearing points for the upper body and internal organs. It can be used for any manifestation of Heat in the upper body such as inflammation, redness, itchiness, swelling or irritation of the eyes, nose, ears, sinuses and skin. It is also the main point for treating and relieving constipation. By stimulating this point on both sides of the body, you can stimulate the large intestine to open the bowels and eliminate within 10-15 minutes.

LOCATION & ACUPRESSURE

This point is located in a tender depression / hollow at the end of the crease of the outside of the elbow when the arm is bent.

Stimulate this point by applying firm constant pressure with the thumb of your opposite hand, or massage in a circular direction for 1-2 minutes on each side.

ACTIONS & INDICATIONS

This point is able to cool and reduce inflammation in the upper body, Skin, Blood, and Large Intestine.

Therefore, this point treats any kind of Heat condition, from eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis to inflammatory, allergic and autoimmune conditions such as rhinitis, conjunctivitis, sinusitis, otitis media, constipation, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, IBS, Crohn’s Disease, cough, sore throat / laryngitis / pharyngitis, thirst, dry mouth and more.

By regularly stimulating this point you can cool your entire body and increase movement (peristalsis) in the Large Intestine to increase elimination by the bowels, naturally supporting the primary Detoxification Pathway of the body, and eliminate more waste and toxins to relieve the body of excess.

METAL ELEMENT

Metal is considered the 1st Stage or Phase of the Detox & Rebuild system created by Dr Alex Sky.

Metal is associated with the Element ‘Air’, as Metal ions exist as atoms, gases, molecules and particles all throughout nature, and the organs associated with Metal are the Lungs and Large Intestine.

The colour of Metal is white, the flavour is acrid or pungent, the direction is downward and the bodily structures that Metal governs are the throat and skin.

Metal foods are generally acrid and pungent in flavour, white in colour and have a downward effect on the body. Metal foods that Detox the Lungs and Large Intestine are onion, garlic, ginger, leeks, radish, parsnips and turnips. Metal foods that strengthen and Rebuild the Lungs and Colon are white potatoes, nuts, sesame seeds, coconut flesh, bananas, oats, and yams.

All the above foods will have a healing effect on the Lungs and Colon and so can be consumed for asthma, breathing problems, cough, lungs infections, constipation, thirst and dehydration, parasites and more.

In the Five Element Model Metal is generated by and is the child of Earth, and itself generates and is the mother of Water. Metal is controlled by Fire, and itself controls Wood. Metal can insult or injure Fire.

The 1st step to detoxing the Lungs and Colon is doing steam bathing of the Lungs with essential oils, or going to steam rooms, doing enemas at home or going for a colonic hydrotherapy treatment.

Drinking rhubarb root or Senna Leaf tea can purge the Intestines to relieve constipation in the Colon.

Taking Baking Soda in water regularly is one of the best ways to reduce acidity and inflammation in the Lungs and Colon, and especially to reduce sinus congestion, allergies, and skin inflammations / diseases.

Naturally Earth is considered the Mother of all the Elements.

Earth is the child of Fire, nourished or generated by Fire, and is the Mother of Metal, nourishing and generating Metal. Earth is controlled by Wood, and itself controls Water. It can insult Wood.

Earth Element is associated with the Spleen, Stomach and Pancreas and the following structures of the human body: the muscles, fascia, lips and mouth, eyelids, blood sugar, mitochondria and blood sugar.

The flavour of Earth Element is sweet, and so all sweet foods containing sugars or carbohydrates are able to strengthen and reinforce the Earth Element: all fruits especially bananas, dates, grapes / raisins, figs, prunes, jackfruit, and durian ; all vegetables containing carbohydrates such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, yam, carrots and beets. Earth foods are rebuilding on the body and so all nuts and seeds are also included in this category, especially if they’re soaked or made into milks, butters or yoghurts.

The colour of Earth is Yellow and so all things yellow be they foods, light, the colour of your clothes, nourish the Earth Element.

In the Elements Detox & Rebuild system Earth is the final stage or step in the never-ending cycle of Detoxification & Regeneration.

The Kidneys are the main organs of the Water Element, that is paired with the Bladder. Therefore this point treats any problem with regards to water and fluid metabolism in the body: water retention / oedema, urinary problems such as pain or infections, and swelling of the body, face or limbs.

Atop the Kidneys sit the Adrenal Glands, and so this point can strengthen Adrenal Gland function increasing your overall energy levels.

FIRE

The Element that Destroys, and the Element that gives life.

In Chinese Medicine the Fire Element is associated with the internal organs: Heart, Small Intestine, Pericardium and Triple Energiser (Lymphatic and Nervous Systems).

Fire is the 4th Element in the Detox & Rebuild system created by Dr Alex Sky.

Fire gives energy, desire, vitality, “joi de vivre” and life to the body.

It is associated with the following body parts: Blood, blood vessels, tongue and central nervous system.

In the Five Element Model, it is the Governing force of The Mind, Spirit and Soul.

Fire is the Mother of Earth and the Child of Wood. Meaning it nourishes or generates Earth and is nourished or generated by Wood. Fire controls Metal and is controlled by Water. It can insult or injure Water.

The flavours of Fire Element are Spicy and Bitter.

Fire foods stimulate (spicy) or detoxify (bitter) its associated organs and structures and provide them with greater metabolic activity or enhanced cleansing and cooling.

Fire foods are required to get us into action and provide us with greater life force energy, examples include: Chilli, bell peppers, arugula, cinnamon, black pepper, Ginseng root, coffee, chai tea.

Without Fire, there is no spark, no inspiration, no creativity. And so not a lot of Fire is required to balance the Five Elements, especially in an age where this Element is naturally excessive and imbalanced.

If balance of the Five Elements is achieved, understanding how to work with the Fire Element can change your life.
