The 'Magic' within the Lauren Berry Method® of manual Lymphatic drainage.

The lymphatic system influences health and functions throughout the body. ♠----------------------------------------♠ Hi everyone, my name is Shelly. I'm a licensed massage therapist in Idaho. I have known Taum for about seven years, and I've been to several of his classes. The lymphatic drainage class is one of my favorites. I use it a lot, and I have taken this class twice. About four years ago, I was taking a class with Taum. (I don't remember which one.) I had gone into class and was upset. My teacher, Sue, and Taum had noticed how upset I was, and they both asked me what was wrong. I explained I had a mammogram earlier that day, and 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 immediately asked me to get on a table and he started doing the lymphatic work in my abdomen. He then proceeded to show me and the class how to do the self-help breast drain (which I have shown several women......I love it!!!!) (click here to watch the self-help video) I believe it helped me. From Friday 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 still gone down more than what the first mammogram showed...so in my own experience I truly believe in the lymphatic drainage. As I said, it's one I truly use a lot, it has helped me, and I've seen it work on others. Taum's work is amazing. ♠----------------------------------------♠
At the time, I was dismayed that Jacob cried loudly during the treatment. In retrospect, his crying probably helped open his lungs and assisted in the healing process. (Folks, this is an excellent example of why I share this) ♠----------------------------------------♠ From Melanie, a student that took this class with Lynn Van Norman, Melanie is a physical therapist practicing in Eugene, OR. Thanks Lynn!
♠----------------------------------------♠ A written note from a client... This year, in your concern that another gifted woman had perished from breast cancer, you explained a self-help 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. 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 any 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. Carol Ann
