Electro-lymphatic therapy (ELT)

The lymphatic system is a vast sewage network that carries cellular debris from the body, and is a key to healthy immune functions. Made up of nodes, tonsils, spleen, thymus gland, lymphocytes, lymph fluid and capillaries, it’s like a team of garbage collectors, filtering out, gathering up and taking out all the unnecessary trash we accumulate in everyday life. According to G. Simon de Montfort, inventor of Electro Lymphatic Therapy (ELT), if trash or toxins accumulate, the lymphatic system becomes stagnant, creating the perfect environment for disease to set in. De Montfort says that a clogged lymphatic network means a congested blood system as well: the waste of the blood cells has nowhere to go, and cells cannot do their job properly when there’s garbage in the way.

Lymph fluid contains proteins, dead cells and bacteria. Electro-lymphatic therapy (ELT) uses a wand with a glass head that contains ionic chambers and gases, which disperse photons or little packets of energy that cascade through the body to dissolve any obstructions in the fluid systems of the body, according to de Montfort. ELT charges the material in the lymph system, separating it so the waste can then leave the body.

"The red cells in a healthy person have a negative charge on them because of the chemical coating on the cell itself," de Montfort says. "In an unhealthy person, they clump together and cannot efficiently deliver the oxygen into the tissue." When a congested lymphatic system is cleared, it eases up the pressure on blood capillaries. “Just by clearing things out, your body can then heal itself.” 

ELT was more than 20 years in the making. De Montfort was working at the Miami Heart Institute on blood complications in the elderly. During his research, de Montfort discovered that finding a way to separate the blood cells from each other could boost the effectiveness of the lymphatic system. He began experimenting with a machine that would create that separation then took his device to MIT to have its energy fields checked. The machine proved to be safe. Nearly two decades later, in 1999, de Montfort began making and selling ELT devices.

ELT is said to be effective for a wide variety of conditions, ranging from cellulite and sinus problems to TMJ, asthma and muscle pains, as well as many ailments that don’t respond well to conventional treatments, such as fibromyalgia, cysts, fibroids and colitis.
