How A Naturopathy Can Help You Improve Health And Balance?
Naturopathy is the practice of using proper diet, exercise, food-based supplements, detoxification, pure water, clean air and stress management to achieve total body health.
A naturopath teaches you how you can combine these things to increase vitality and support the body's ability to heal itself.
While people new to natural health services may be skeptical of their benefits, most clients leave our naturopathic consultations
with a clear understanding of how the practice works and how effectively it can improve their health.
Contact Tree of Life Health Ministries today to schedule your first naturopathic appointment.
What Is Naturopathy?
The body is comprised of over 60 trillion cells.
Each cell is a living organism that takes in oxygen and nutrients, converting them to energy and releasing waste. At any given time, up to 10 million cells could be in need of replacement. These dying cells no longer function as they should, creating conditions that can lead to disease, premature aging and breakdown of bodily functions.
Classical naturopathy focuses on improving the nutritional status and detoxifying the body, bringing it into balance while also improving health, energy and vitality.
Listen to the following audio clip to learn more about the principles and benefits of naturopathy.

Purification Program
If you've been disappointed by fad diets in the past, you'll be happy to know there is a healthy, natural way to lose weight and detoxify your body. Certified holistic health practitioner and purification expert Yvonne Lucchese can show you how. Your Answer To Detox And Weight Loss.
Environmental Toxins Can Pack On The Pounds
Each day, your body ingests environmental toxins via air pollution, heavy metals, pesticides and food additives. Your body may produce extra fat to protect itself from these toxins. Many people find they just can't lose weight without first ridding their body of these toxins. Of course, the purification program is about more than just weight loss – detoxifying your body may also increase energy, vitality and resistance to illness.
How The Purification Program Works
For each of the 21 days you will drink three to four smoothies consisting of water, fresh fruit, a scoop of fiber and two scoops of SP Complete.
We believe that one of the "secrets" to the program's success is a product called SP Cleanse that you will take for the first seven days of the program. This product targets kidneys, colon, liver and lymph nodes with herbs and nutrients that pull toxins from your cells. The addition of fiber to the smoothies helps you eliminate these toxins through the colon.
During weeks two and three you'll switch to SP Green Food
a supplement that supports your liver and helps remove toxins. The fiber in the smoothies continues to rid toxins from the body.
You can also eat whatever fruits and vegetables you want during the entire 21 days.
By weeks two and three you can reintroduce some meats back into your diet.
During your initial consultation
Yvonne will provide step-by-step instructions for preparing the smoothies, taking supplements and making diet adjustments. You will also receive regular emails with tips and encouragement.
At the end of the 21-day program
you'll meet with Yvonne to assess how many pounds and inches you've lost. You'll also develop a post-purification program to help you maintain weight loss and overall health. Many clients find that they drop 10 to 20 pounds and several inches in just three weeks.
Water Purification
Your body is about 75 percent water. This water enables lubrication, the delivery of nutrients and the removal of toxins. Drinking the right kind and amount of water may be one of the cheapest and easiest ways to maintain a healthy body. In doing so, you’ll feel a big difference in your energy, vitality and mental clarity. Water plays a huge role in your health. But with the countless varieties of well, tap, spring, bottled and even flavored water, it can be difficult to know what kind to drink. Then there are questions of quantity: Is eight glasses really enough? How big should each glass be? And what pH level is ideal?
How A Water Purifier Can Improve Your Health
Your tap water may contain contaminants or chlorine.
But bottled water is an expensive alternative. For these reasons, a growing number of people use home water purifiers.
Of all the home water purifiers on the market, we at Tree of Life Health Ministries recommend Aquaspace®.
This carbon filtration system uses NASA-developed filtering compounds to remove contaminants while preserving the minerals you need to stay healthy.
If you have safe well water or municipal water without fluoride, an Aquaspace® Carafe with Aquatomic magnets may be all you need.
If you wish to reduce fluoride, use the carafe with fluoride reduction. Just pour your tap water into the carafe and let it filter. In a few minutes you'll have pure, safe and healthy water.
If you have bacteria or cysts in your water, or want the ease and convenience of a countertop or under-the-counter unit, choose the Aquarius Twin Plus with Aquatomic.
If you're concerned about fluoride or heavy metals, the Aquarius Triple Plus with Aquatomic magnets countertop or under-the-counter unit will meet your needs.
Finally, to raise the pH level, add three drops of Alkalife to every 8 oz. of water you drink.
Air Purification
Life ceases to exist after just a few minutes without air. Sadly, our air is becoming more and more polluted. Indoor air is often worse than outdoor air due to the household products we use and the out-gassing of furniture and carpets.
Why You Need A Home Air Filter
Newspaper headlines often warn readers about the dangers of rising air pollution.
But the air inside your home could be two to 10 times more polluted than outdoor air.
Why? Most modern homes and offices are built to be airtight, which can trap dangerous pollutants such as chemicals, bacteria and mold indoors.
Considering that most people spend 90 percent of their time inside, it's no wonder that the Environmental Protection Agency named indoor air pollution the United States' top environmental health problem.
Three Kinds Of Air Pollutants
The three main categories of indoor air pollutants are:
Particulates
Particulates infiltrate the lungs and cause eye, nose and throat irritation. On average, every cubic foot of untreated indoor air contains 20 million particles. Over 99 percent of these particles are invisible to the naked eye.
Volatile organic compounds
These chemicals are emitted by common household products such as paint, lacquer, paint stripper, varnish, cleaning supplies, air fresheners, pesticides, building materials and furniture. When inhaled, VOCs can cause headaches, nose and throat discomfort, nausea and damage to the liver and kidneys.
Microbes
These include bacteria, protozoa, mold and fungi. Most of these contaminants rely on a humid environment for survival. When inhaled, microbes can trigger allergic reactions and other health problems.
Choosing A Home Air Filter
A home air filter can remove indoor air pollutants and improve the health of you and your family.
But with so many home air filters on the market, how do you know which one to choose?
At Tree of Life Health Ministries, we performed months of research to find the best in-home air filtration system for our customers: Air Oasis Air Purification.
Traditional air purifiers catch particulates in a filter, but do little or nothing to filter volatile organic compounds and other dangerous pollutants.
Air Oasis uses a process called photo catalytic oxidation to destroy particulates and neutralize VOCs, without the potential dangers of using ozone or negative ions. Best of all, Air Oasis Air Purifiers have no filters to change and require virtually no maintenance.
If you have a larger home, it may be best to put a Whole House Unit in the living area and room units in each bedroom.
You can also install in-duct units. (Call our office for information and pricing.)
Types Of Air Oasis Air Purification Systems
The Whole House unit covers up to 3000 sq. ft., requires 4" x 4" x 14.5"
$499.99
The Apartment unit covers up to 1000 sq. ft., requires 4" x 4" x 13.5"
$399.99
The Room unit covers up to 500 sq. ft., requires 3" x 3" x 12"

Far Infrared Saunas
The most effective, natural means of detoxification is perspiration. Far infrared saunas facilitate perspiration and stimulate the body's cellular detoxification process more effectively than traditional saunas. Discover more about far infrared sauna treatments from Tree of Life Health Ministries.
How Far Infrared Saunas Can Help You Detoxify
Each day we ingest a small amount of chemicals from our food and environment.
Chemicals that cannot be metabolized get stored in our fat cells, where they may cause hormone imbalances, damage brain chemistry and may eventually lead to cancer and other diseases.
For this reason, detoxification is an essential part of maintaining good health.
The most effective, natural means of detoxification is perspiration. Far infrared saunas facilitate perspiration using a natural band of light invisible to the human eye. This stimulates the body’s cellular detoxification process more effectively and at a lower temperature than traditional saunas.
Why Far Infrared Works Better Than Conventional Saunas
Typical sweat produced under normal conditions contains 97 percent water and 3 percent toxins
while sweat produced from a far infrared sauna contains 80 to 85 percent water and 15 to 20 percent toxins.
Tree of Life Health Ministries has a private far infrared sauna room with a separate shower
so you can enjoy the benefits of detoxification without having to purchase an expensive home sauna.
Detoxifying Footbaths
By using controlled ionic pressure, Bionic Hydrotherapy footbaths draw out toxins and heavy metals at the cellular level. A 30-minute bath will result in at least one release of toxins and a cleansing of the blood and lymph. Discover more about detoxifying footbaths from Tree of Life Health Ministries.
Bionic Hydrotherapy Footbaths Let You Detox While You Relax
People who make detoxification programs part of their lifestyle report increased energy, better health and a greater sense of mental clarity. As one of its many detox therapies, Tree of Life Health Ministries offers Bionic Hydrotherapy footbaths.
How Bionic Hydrotherapy Footbaths Work
The Bionic Hydrotherapy system works like a poultice.
By using controlled ionic pressure, the footbath draws out toxins and heavy metals at the cellular level.
These heavy metals may damage the liver, kidneys and blood before the body has a chance to eliminate them.
To reduce their toxic effect, the body encapsulates these metals and stores them in the tissues of organs, muscle and even nerves. There they may create lasting organ and tissue dysfunction. Metals also lower pH (acidity), which may encourage yeast, bacteria and parasites.
Bionic Hydrotherapy footbaths provide a gentle pull on the metals so that they enter the lymphatic vessels and emerge in the bath water.
This elimination happens in pulses instead of a toxic stream. The footbath signals the body to prepare a portion of the encapsulated metal along with associated parasites for release. A timed 30 minute session will result in one or more of these releases in addition to a cleansing of the blood and lymph.
Other benefits of hydrotherapy footbaths
Other benefits of hydrotherapy footbaths may include:
Better eyesight
Increased energy
Decreased chronic pain
Improved sleep
Strengthened immune system
Decreased symptoms of chronic illness
Improved mental clarity and mood stabilization
Less congestion and decreased allergy symptoms
Decreased fluid retention and increased circulation
How Bionic Hydrotherapy Footbaths Were Invented
Dr. Earl Anderson created Bionic Hydrotherapy footbaths after noticing the effect of accumulated toxins on the body.
Knowing that other methods of detoxification often caused physical distress, Dr. Anderson set out to design a new system utilizing his vast knowledge of the physics and physiology of the human body.
Initial testing results came from observation of the changes in the appearance of the bath water and the reported reduction of symptoms after each session.
Additional studies showed that the footbaths led to vast improvements in red blood cell strength, oxygenation and freedom of movement.

Are Heavy Metals Making You Sick?
Toxic heavy metals – which enter our body through the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink – can interrupt the transport, distribution and assimilation of the minerals we need to be healthy. This may impair the immune system and lead to chronic illness and disease.
How To Rid Your Body Of Toxic Heavy Metals
To support the detoxification of heavy metals from your body, you simply drink a liquid, use a mouth spray or take pills.
The agents will then help your body bind and remove the metals. This generally happens over a period of six to 12 months. After taking one of the chelating products for a few months, you'll notice more energy, higher alertness and a greater feeling of wellbeing.

TurboSonic
If you want an exercise that's fast, easy and effective, check out the TurboSonic® whole body vibration machine. This program combines space-age technology and EWOT (exercise with oxygen therapy) to work every cell in your body.
Space Age Technology For Your Exercise Program
Imagine getting a 60-minute workout in just 10 minutes. It's no fantasy.
TurboSonic® uses space age technology developed for astronauts to provide a full-body workout in record time.
TurboSonic® works by using sonic (sound) vibration therapy to stimulate full body contractions.
This accelerates your body's natural healing response, increases oxygen circulation, enhances cellular nutrient uptake, stimulates fluid movement and facilitates waste removal – all of which are critical for wellness.
How TurboSonic Works
Russian researchers developed whole body vibration to counteract the bone and muscle loss cosmonauts experienced under zero gravity.
Over time, the technology was applied to athletics, fitness and physical therapy.
When you stand on a TurboSonic®, large magnets inside the base move up and down on a vertical axis to cause full body contractions.
The TurboSonic® control panel allows you to change both the frequency and intensity of these vibrations.
You can also select one of 12 automated programs to achieve maximum results.
Choose a program that focuses on problem areas or specific health concerns. The TurboSonic® also has special settings for children, seniors and massage.
Other TurboSonic Benefits
Increased physical strength, dexterity and endurance

Rebounding
If you enjoyed trampolines as a child, you'll love the rebounder. Simply jump up and down to receive a cardio workout, detox and strength training – all at the same time. Rebounding: A Safe, Effective And Easy Way To Exercise At Home
If you're looking for a safe home exercise routine that's easy on the joints, a rebounder may be the perfect solution.
Use the rebounder by gently jumping up and down.
You'll receive a cardiovascular workout while also building muscle. Best of all, you can listen to music or watch TV while you exercise.
The Rebounding Difference
Rebounding has been shown to reduce body fat, strengthen muscles, tone problem areas, increase agility and improve mood.
Unlike jogging, rebounding is easy on your joints, with little risk of injuries.
People who jump on a mini-trampoline a few times a day for a minimum of 10 minutes each time find they concentrate longer, sleep better and feel less tense.
The effect is not just psychological – the action of bouncing up and down against gravity is one of the most beneficial aerobic exercises ever developed.
In addition to providing a good source of exercise, rebounding also helps stimulate your lymphatic system and facilitate the removal of toxins.
Benefits of rebounding include
Increased breath capacity
Better circulation
Reduced depression
Lowered blood pressure
Prevention of cardiovascular disease
Improved lymphatic circulation
Increased metabolism
Increased muscle tone
Enhanced digestion and elimination
Improved mental acuity
Increased energy
Improved immune system
Improved coordination
Reduced effects of aging
Rebounding Basics
Adults can start with five minutes of rebounding and increase their time as their fitness level improves.
Seniors can start with two minutes several times per day, with at least 30 minutes between rebounding sessions. (Older people must start gradually to give their connective tissue time to strengthen.)
Inactive seniors may find that gently jumping on a mini-trampoline gives them renewed vigor and zest for life.
Hyperactive children often calm down after just a few days of rebounding.
Choosing The Right Rebounder
Choosing The Right Rebounder
Cheap or poorly-made rebounders may break during use, causing serious injury. For this reason, we recommend American-made Needak rebounders.

Sarah C., Gap, PA
"I can now fit into clothes I have not worn for years. Everyone keeps asking me what I am doing. My face has more color and I feel more energy. My husband is pleased at how I now look after the purification program. I liked making the shakes, and it was fun to do. I would encourage everyone to do it. If I can do it, you can too!"
Irwin W., Lebanon, PA
"I knew that my weight was getting out of control and was harming my health. I lost 25 pounds, and it's staying off, too. People are telling me all the time that I am looking better."
Heidi K.
"I first heard about CranioSacral therapy from my sister-in-law. She was taking her daughter to get treated for reflux symptoms. I didn't realize the value of the therapy until I, too, had a daughter with the same problems. I started taking my 2-month-old and my life quickly returned to normal after weeks of having an unhappy, screaming baby. In the process, I started to take my 2-year-old as well who had digestive issues. The results were amazing! My 2-year-old started to talk a lot more, too, and went from two-word sentences to four-word sentences within hours of her therapy. I am so happy to have found healing for my children with this therapy. I am so thankful that we didn't have to experiment with medical treatment first. We were able to see results and healing quickly and got to the root of the issues. I hope others will also find healing with CranioSacral therapy in the future at Tree of Life Health Ministries. Thank you."
