(NaturalNews) Achieving a healthy level of circulation is important for

the growth of cells and the maintenance of the many systems of the body.

Traditional horizontal sleeping has been shown by some researchers to inhibit

the ability of the body's circulatory system to function at an optimum

level; thus, this sleeping position causes restricted blood flow and the

inability of the lymphatic system to flush out the toxins that accumulate in the

many networks of vessels throughout the body. Inclined bed therapy,

introduced by K. Fletcher, who was inspired by the way in which trees

are

able to pump sap up to the tops of their branches, utilizes the force of

gravity to improve the circulation of the body while asleep.

Fletcher theorizes that trees utilize the force of gravity to propel a

kind of elevator that carries the sap up and down the trunks and through the

branches (a structure that is very similar to the network of veins and

arteries in human beings). For this reason, Fletcher has designed inclined bed

therapy to take advantage of the benefits of gravity while allowing

individuals to rest in a position that is still comfortable. By raising the head

of

the bed between 4 and 8 inches, people can increase the gravitational force

on their bodies while they are sleeping (and while remaining at a level

that is conducive to rest). This posture will create the opportunity for the

body to improve circulation without causing discomfort.

The benefits of inclined bed therapy are many: including the improvement

of circulation, the decompression of the skeletal system, the increase of

hydration, the removal of toxins, the repair of spinal cord injuries, clearer

skin, an improvement in several diseases (including MS, Hashimoto's, and

Parkinson's), less arthritic pain, more restful sleep, proper alignment of

the spine and pelvic bones, lower blood pressure, less cardiac stress,

resolution of problems associated with edema, and the healing of the lungs

after

years of smoking. With such a diverse list of benefits, it is safe to say

that individuals that utilize this method of therapy experience an overall

improvement in their health.

Inclined bed therapy is a technique that is effective as well as

affordable. The cost of the therapy is no more than the cost of the materials

used

to prop up the bed. Many individuals utilize wooden blocks, as they can be

easily adjusted to add height and can also be removed to facilitate

transportation of the bed. Other individuals utilize foam while some construct

wooden risers, which they nail to the supporting beams on the bottom of the bed

frame.

Inclined bed therapy is still undergoing research, but the benefits of the

technique are clear. People who have tried this method have experienced a

long list of health improvements, which can all be achieved naturally and

inexpensively. The key to this therapy is to maximize the ability of the

body to perform on its own without introducing harmful chemicals or other

substances, thus making inclined bed therapy an ideal natural remedy for a

number of health problems.

Life And Gravity: Sleeping In A Horizontal Position May Be Bad For You

Just for starters - Fletcher says circulation while sleeping is better if

the bed is in a slightly inclined position.If indeed gravity does have

something to do with optimal function of " vertical " organisms, from blades of

grass to trees and indeed to humans, then ... There does seem to be a

problem with people dying in their sleep, but scientists are not quite sure

what

it may be connected with... Links to online discussion, dowload of details

Re: Dispelling the Night-Time Frequent Urination

An additional effect of gravity on the body in the head up tilt position

is the production of more heat during the night and this increases

evaporation from the respiratory tract and skin, therefore reducing the amount

of

urine we produce and increasing the density of the urine produced.

Walking after using the Inclined Bed Therapy

Here is an exciting demonstration of Fletcher's theory. For those

who don't have an high speed Internet connection I have extracted the 3.37

minute audio from the following video and attached a very short (700k) Mp3

file here.The therapy entails raising the head end of the bed by 6 to 8

inches! Unfortunately, the medical Mafia will have nothing to do with it as

there is no profit hence no motive. Cann Walking on Carlton Television
