The human body has in itself the , known and unknown, built-in natural mechanisms of defence. One of the mysterious defence mechanisms in the human body is the immediate reaction of the body liquid to move towards the point where the body cells are in danger of destruction. When an infectious mosquito struck the skin, the inflammation process follows to obstruct the penetration of the toxic substances injected by the insect into the body. The body filtered liquid rushes-in around the area where the body cells are destroyed. The filtered body liquid arrives around the skin-cuts caused by the bladed or pointed objects. The body liquid protects the continuous outflow of the blood and creates the defence block to resist the entrance of any strange substance or organism into the body. There are times when the natural defence mechanisms of the human body are not strong enough and not in the capacity to protect the human body. Everybody should be thankful to the modern medical science for the discoveries of the new medicines which have the capacity to protect the human body.
When the person meets a physical accident, the part or parts of the body may suffer the painful inflammation. In some cases, minor bone joint dislocation may be suffered and the inflammation also will follow. The process of inflammation is one of the defence mechanisms of the human body which supports the automatic self-healing of the damaged part of the body. When the injury is not so serious, the body heals by itself through the natural body defence mechanisms. The slight dislocation of the bone joint may be healed faster through the application of the antique massage therapy. Sad to mention, Hilot is known today as the massage treatment exclusively for the simple bone joint dislocations in the country of origin. The great antique intelligence hides and only this parcel of the antique knowledge was left functional in the Philippines. For the Filipino people in this very moment, hilot is confined only in the healing of pains derived from the simple dislocation of the bone joints. Another parcel of the antique knowledge which resisted to remain functional until the end of the second millennium is the therapy treatment for the pregnant women. The therapy treatments are performed by the women practitioners professionally called Hilot. The male faith healers, by antique profession, are called albularyo.
The inflammation is the accumulation of the body filtered liquid in the area where the body cells are physically damaged or in danger of destruction. The body filtered liquid contains the protective elements which depend the cells of the body against damage or sickness. At the initial arrival of the filtered liquid in the affected area, it is possible for the person not to feel immediately any pain in the inflamed part. When the inflammation remains for a period, this could block the free flow of the lubricating liquid for the bones, tendons, nerves and cartilages. The insufficiency or lack of the lubricants will set forth the drying up of the internal parts and the calcification will follow. The calcification is the primer of the severe pains which could block the flow of energy necessary for the normal movement. The inflammation of the body parts may be ignited by the following factors, 1) insect or animal bites, 2) physical injuries due to minor or major accidents, 3) skin damages due to incidental cuts of bladed materials, 4) disastrous parasitic micro organisms, 5) or the common human illnesses as identified by the traditional medicine.
The severe pain which blocks the physical energy is caused by the drying up and calcification of the nerves. tendons, cartilages and bones. Another primer of the pain is the crystallization of the body liquid in the muscular system. The crystallization of the filtered liquid is primarily caused by the touch of the cold temperature in the inflamed part of the body. The problem of pain may be resolved by the use of the pain relieving medicines as recommended by the medical doctor. In case of an accident where there is the physical damage in any of the bone, tendons, nerves and cartilages the treatment by the medical doctor expert in the specific field is necessary. However, if the x-ray result shows that there is no physical damages in the bones, tendons and cartilages and the problems are only pain and inflammation, the antique therapy could help resolve the problems.
For the inflammation which is caused by the minor accident, there are necessary pointers which could assist the natural body defence mechanisms to function effectively. The inflamed part should be maintained warm especially during the night time. If the inflammation is in the arm, the person may use long thick normal sock to cover if possible the whole arm in the evening or even during the day when the air is cold. The touch of either very cold or very hot water to the affected arm should be avoided. With the help of the other healthy arm, always try to bend and stretch every bone joint of the affected arm. The bending and stretching movements should be done calmly and without the exertion of the muscular force of the sick arm.
In case of the inflammation in the leg part without any physical damage during the accident, the patient should search to perform the movements of the joints of the leg. These movements are preferably to be done while the person is in lying position. The movements of the joints of the leg will function best when done through the help of the other person. The person should search to be on feet while resisting the pain and must always walk calmly placing the body weight on the heel of the affected leg. The affected leg should be protected to avoid the entrance of the cold temperature in the inflamed part. The warm temperature supports the natural mechanism of defence for the fast healing of the pain and the inflammation. The cold temperature could worsen the situation of the pain and could hamper the healing process which is naturally performed by the body mechanism of defence. The person could be healed in the shortest possible time with the application of the therapeutic massage therapy.
The modern medical science has develop many types of pain relieving medicines which could be applied externally to help ease the pain. There are also many types of the modern oral medicines which could help ease the problem. The medical doctor should always be consulted prior to the use of any type of the modern pain relieving medicines. The frequent use of the ice bag to heal the pain and inflammation is not recommended by the antique therapy. The cold temperature treatment, such as the use of the ice bag, is only recommended to be used during the application of the first aid. The cold treatment should be applied, if necessary, immediately after the accident. The continuous use of the ice bag for the treatment could cause the drying up of the nerves, cartilages and tendons which could lead to more serious problems in the future. The cold temperature hinders the natural healing process being performed by the natural defence mechanism of the human body. If the damage is not severe, the body defence mechanism could heal the problems even without the application of any therapeutic massage or medical treatment. The natural healing process will take longer time without the support of the therapeutic massage treatment. The antique therapeutic massage supports the functions of the defence mechanism to perform effectively.
Below are some testimonies of clients healed.
Antonella Grilli ( Italian ) - Rome. I am a professional body builder, therefore I train myself everyday for two to five hours, to take a place in competitions. Last April I had an accident on my motorbike which caused unpleasant trouble with my right shoulder. Unfortunately I could not hold up my training, but I went to the gym to exercise the lower half of my body. I became desperate - all I could think of was how to recover - it became an obsession. Talking to a friend I came to know of the Maestro, but I spent a month listening to doctors who said unless I gave up training I should become worse, should need infiltration and so on and so on. Instead, at last, I went one day to Maestro. For three weeks I suffered such overpowering pain I thought I might die, tears came to my eyes, but I yielded to the therapy. Now, in the short time of a month I am almost reborn. I can practice with the same weights as before ; and even heavier ones. He is really a great Maestro ; thank you for everything. Antonella Grilli, European Champion of 1993, Vice World Champion also, 1993.
Enrico Roncacci ( Italian ) - Rome. My story is that while I was working in the countryside, moving a bale of hay weighing 300 kg, my right arm was squashed against another bale of hay causing me a dislocation of the wrist, with muscular contractions and tendinitus. After two sittings with this therapy I can assure with much happiness to have no more pain nor in my arm or in my wrist.
F. L. ( Italian ) - Rome. I had an accident in August 1997 which resulted in a fractured vertebrae (of the cervical cord) and the whole result meant I was paralyzed from the armpits down and could no longer use my hands. In May 1998 I began to have a terrible pain in my back. In August of that year, having heard of a Filipino Maestro and the wonderful things he did, I decided to be cured by him too. Halfway through November, after massage, the pains in my back completely disappeared, my hands moved much better and the pain and paralysis in them improved too. Now I continue the therapy once a week and am very grateful to Maestro, hoping always to get more improvement with the rest of my body pains.
Biagio Antonazzi ( Italian ) - Rome. I am 62 years old, practice sport, and notwithstanding my age, have not had body pains. About two years, after pulling a muscle, I have had pain in the right side of my back. Having been examined it was explained to me that the pain was due to some ribs crossed over each other. Also that there was calcification between the ribs which limited my movement. After various massages from the Maestro the pain has disappeared and above all I can move freely. Thank you.
Eleonora Morucci ( Italian ) - Rome. Alighting from the ferry I slipped, and fell heavily on to my coccyx. The pain was awful. I could not move or bear the pain. After three days of suffering my friend told me about the Maestro. I went to him. In five treatments he miraculously cured me.
Francesca Manzia ( Italian ) - Rome. Following a motorbike accident about five months ago I had bruises on my leg and thigh. Both areas were very painful and often swollen. After a few treatments of the Hilot therapy with the Maestro, the pain and swelling disappeared ; healing at the same a painful tendinitus that had plagued me for some time.
Maria Grazia Albertazzi ( Italian ) - Rome. In August 1998 during a holiday in Greece, I pulled a ligament in my right knee. I could not put my foot to the ground as I could put no weight on my knee. When I returned to Rome the National Health (U.S .L .) doctors prescribed fifteen days of rest, cold impacts, and eventual rehabilitation therapy. My sister took me to the Maestro who in only one treatment cured my leg thus permitting me to walk normally again. With thanks Maestro.
Selvaggia Bertozzi ( Italian ) - Rome. I badly twisted my ankle while on holiday. In hospital they put on cream and then crepe bandage, telling me to put ice on it for four days. After a bit I started to walk with the help of two crutches. After about ten days I started this massage therapy and that night from the first treatment, I did not need the crutches anymore. The treatment was very painful but the results were immediate, and the pain diminished with each massage as the ankle got better. Now after three treatments the swelling and black bruise have completely disappeared, and movement of the ankle gone back to normal. I am very pleased, because I was healed in such a short time, completely contrary to the time given to me by the hospital.
