Abdominal (visceral) Massage class.
All therapies share the goal of encouraging healthy movement.
This class focuses on gentle massage techniques to support healthy movement of the abdominal muscles.
This includes the Large Intestines, Small Intestines, Liver, and Cisterna Chyli.
All important for digestion and immunity.
The autonomic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary physiologic processes including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, digestion, and sexual arousal. It contains three anatomically distinct divisions: sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric.

Physiology of the Small Intestine.
The small intestine is a crucial part of the digestive system, responsible for the majority of nutrient absorption from the ingested food. It is a long, tube-like organ located between the stomach and the large intestine. The small intestine is divided into three sections: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.
1. Duodenum:
- The duodenum is the first and shortest part of the small intestine.
- It receives partially digested food, known as chyme, from the stomach through the pyloric sphincter.
- Bile, produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, and pancreatic juices, produced by the pancreas, enter the duodenum to aid in the digestion process.
2. Jejunum:
- The jejunum is the middle part of the small intestine.
- It is the primary site for nutrient absorption, where the majority of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are absorbed into the bloodstream.
- The walls of the jejunum contain numerous finger-like projections called villi, which increase the surface area available for absorption.
3. Ileum:
- The ileum is the final part of the small intestine, connecting to the large intestine at the ileocecal valve.
- It continues the absorption of nutrients, particularly vitamin B12 and bile salts.
- The ileocecal valve regulates the flow of material from the small intestine into the large intestine.
Key Functions:
- Nutrient Absorption: The small intestine is the primary site for the absorption of nutrients, including sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals.
- Villi and Microvilli: The walls of the small intestine are lined with tiny finger-like projections called villi, which further have microvilli on their surfaces. These structures significantly increase the surface area available for nutrient absorption.
- Mucus Production: Goblet cells in the small intestine produce mucus, which helps lubricate the intestinal walls and protect them from the acidic chyme.
- Peristalsis: Peristaltic contractions propel the chyme through the small intestine, allowing for the mixing and exposure of chyme to digestive enzymes.
The coordinated activities of the small intestine, along with the contributions of the stomach, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas, play a crucial role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients essential for the body's functioning.
Physiology of the Large Intestine.
Function:
By the time indigestible materials have reached the colon, most nutrients and up to 90% of the water have been absorbed by the small intestine.
The large intestine has 3 primary functions: absorbing water and electrolytes, producing and absorbing vitamins, and forming and propelling feces toward the rectum for elimination. The role of the ascending colon is to absorb the remaining water and other key nutrients from the indigestible material, solidifying it to form stool. The descending colon stores feces that will eventually be emptied into the rectum. The sigmoid colon contracts to increase the pressure inside the colon, causing the stool to move into the rectum. The rectum holds the feces awaiting elimination by defecation.
The abdominal protocol presented in this class serves a broad spectrum that can influence everyone's overall health. (I suggest reading the testimonials.)
It is helpful to understand the importance of colon-lymphatic relationships. In our work, learning the 'feel' of the technique while connected to relevant knowledge is a powerful combination.
Our very own 'National Library of Medicine' is an excellent resource for enhancing knowledge.

Hi everyone my name is Shelly Beale. I'm a licensed massage therapist in Idaho... I have known Taum for about 7 years, and I've been to several of his classes. The lymphatic drainage class is one of my favorites. I have taken this class twice and use the information a lot.
About four years ago I was taking a class with Taum... I don't remember which one but I had gone into class and was upset. My teacher Sue and Taum had noticed how upset I was.. they both asked me what was wrong I explained I had a mammogram earlier that day I had to go back and have another one...two in one day..... The doctor decided I needed a biopsy the following Monday on a lump they had found. Taum did the lymphatic work on my stomach and arms, and proceeded to show me how to do the breast drain on myself, which I have shown several women. I love it!!!! I believe it helped me.. from Friday evening when he showed me the breast drain I did it on myself on Saturday and Sunday I did it again on Monday morning before we went to talk to the doctor, we decided not to do the biopsy but to do surgery and take the whole entire lump out... they did another mammogram and found that it had gotten smaller from Friday's mammogram. 5 days later we did the surgery and in that 5 days time it had gone down more than what the first mammogram showed.
So in my own experience, I truly believe in the lymphatic drainage. Like I said it's one I truly use a lot and believe it has helped me... and I've seen it work on others. Taum and his work are amazing. ❤

This year, in your concern that another gifted woman had perished from breast cancer, you explained a technique that you called a "breast drain" that any woman could do to encourage drainage and removal of toxins from the breast tissue and glands. For several decades in the offices of several personal physicians (I have moved several times), I had heard expressions of concern during manual breast exams because of suspicious lumpiness within the tissue of my breasts. I would be repeatedly called back after a mammogram to have additional testing done.
A biopsy was never required but there was always the nagging sense that something needed to be carefully watched. There was also always a painfulness that I accepted as "normal". The doctors determined that I had a cystic condition in both breasts. During my most recent exam, however, after only a few months of applying the technique you explained, my doctor seemed quite pleasantly surprised that the tissue seemed much smoother. In fact, she did not mention a cystic content and even declared that the tissue condition was like that of a much younger woman. Now that is something that every older woman appreciates hearing! Best of all, the painfulness I had tried to ignore for so many years has virtually disappeared. I have passed your information along to both my daughters. So, you see, your good influence continues beyond the immediate sphere in which you do your therapeutic work.

Interstitial and lymphatic homeostasis are closely interconnected and vital for maintaining the proper function of tissues and organs throughout the body.
The following provides an overview of each and their relationship:
Interstitial Homeostasis:
Interstitial fluid is the fluid that surrounds and bathes the cells in tissues.
Maintaining interstitial homeostasis involves regulating this fluid's composition, volume, and pressure to support cellular function. Key aspects of interstitial homeostasis include:
- Fluid Balance: Balancing fluid movement into and out of the interstitial space to prevent tissue swelling (edema) or dehydration.
- Nutrient and Waste Exchange: Facilitating the exchange of nutrients, gases, and waste products between blood capillaries and cells in tissues.
- Osmotic Regulation: Ensuring proper concentrations of ions and other solutes in the interstitial fluid to maintain osmotic balance and support cellular metabolism.
- pH Regulation: Maintaining appropriate pH levels in the interstitial fluid to support enzymatic activity and cellular function.
Lymphatic Homeostasis:
The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, organs, and lymphoid tissues that play a central role in immune function and fluid balance. Lymphatic homeostasis involves maintaining the proper circulation, filtration, and composition of lymph, a clear fluid derived from interstitial fluid.
Key aspects of lymphatic homeostasis include:
- Fluid Drainage: Collecting excess interstitial fluid, proteins, and waste products from tissues and returning it to the bloodstream.
- Immune Surveillance: Filtering lymph through lymph nodes to detect and eliminate pathogens, abnormal cells, and foreign substances.
- Lymphocyte Production: Producing and distributing lymphocytes (white blood cells) involved in immune responses throughout the body.
- Transport of Fats: Absorbing dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the intestines and transporting them to the bloodstream via the lymphatic system.
The relationship between interstitial and lymphatic homeostasis is essential for maintaining tissue health and overall physiological balance. The lymphatic system helps regulate interstitial fluid volume and composition by removing excess fluid and maintaining proper immune function. In turn, interstitial fluid dynamics impact lymphatic function, as changes in fluid balance or composition can affect lymphatic drainage and immune responses.
Disruptions in either interstitial or lymphatic homeostasis can lead to various health issues, including tissue swelling, impaired immune function, and fluid imbalance. Therefore, maintaining the proper function of both systems is crucial for overall health and well-being.

Several systems in the human body process fluids.
They can all become ‘constipated.’
They include the following:
• Circulatory System: This system, which includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood, is primarily responsible for the movement of fluids, nutrients, gases, and wastes throughout the body. Blood, which can be considered a fluid, is circulated throughout the body, delivering nutrients and oxygen to cells and removing waste products.
• Digestive System: Fluids are essential in the digestive system for the digestion and absorption of food. Saliva, which is primarily water, helps with the breakdown of food. Additionally, the stomach and intestines use digestive juices and bile, which contain significant amounts of water, to further digest food. Fluids are also absorbed back into the body in the intestines.
• Urinary System: This system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, is critical for regulating fluid balance in the body. The kidneys filter blood to remove excess waste and unwanted substances, producing urine. They also play a crucial role in regulating the volume and composition of bodily fluids.
• Lymphatic System: The lymphatic system helps maintain fluid balance by draining excess fluids from tissues and returning it to the bloodstream. It also plays a role in the immune system by transporting white blood cells and handling waste products from the cells.
• Integumentary System: Although primarily associated with the skin, this system also includes sweat glands that help regulate body temperature through the excretion of sweat. Fluids are lost through perspiration, and this loss plays a role in fluid balance and thermoregulation.
• Respiratory System: The respiratory system, while primarily responsible for gas exchange, also deals with fluids in the form of water vapor which is exhaled during respiration. Moreover, the mucous membranes lining the respiratory tract require moisture to function effectively.
These systems play vital roles in maintaining fluid balance, which is crucial for overall health and proper functioning of the body.
These systems interact closely to manage the body’s hydration levels, electrolyte balance, and the removal of wastes, illustrating the complexity and integration of bodily functions centered around fluid processing.
