The vascular system is made up of the vessels that carry blood and lymph fluid through the body. It's also called the circulatory system. The arteries and veins carry blood all over the body. They send oxygen and nutrients to the body tissues. And they take away tissue waste. The lymph vessels carry lymphatic fluid. This is a clear, colorless fluid made of water and blood cells. The lymphatic system is part of the immune system that helps rid the body of toxins and waste. It does this by filtering and draining lymph away from each region of the body.
An important principle of osteopathic treatment is Drainage Precedes Supply. This concept is based on the understanding that tissues need a healthy inflow of oxygenated and nutrient rich blood for cellular homeostasis and repair. However, for tissues to receive this healthy circulatory inflow, there must first be a properly functioning lymphatic outflow to drain the tissues. The system responsible for providing this drainage pathway is the lymphatic system.
A properly functioning lymphatic system is critical for the body to maintain homeostasis and regenerate tissue. Specifically, the lymphatic system helps maintain normal blood volume and pressure, helps rid the body of cellular metabolic waste, and helps prevent excess accumulation of fluid in and around tissues. Additionally, the lymphatic system assists with tissue regeneration and supports the immune system by removing excess fluid, debris, toxins, and damaged cells from injured tissue. If lymph circulation stagnates due to injury or infection, tissues become congested and the ability of the tissue cells to receive healthy blood is compromised. This leads to an accumulation of cellular waste products in the tissues causing pain, tension, and edema. Since “drainage precedes supply,” a congested or impaired lymphatic system makes it difficult for injured tissues to filter out metabolic waste and receive nutrients and building blocks needed for repair. To prevent damage and promote healing, this accumulated waste and edema must be promptly removed.

Infrared helps with the Krebs cycle. Also known as the citric acid cycle, the Krebs cycle or TCA cycle is a chain of reactions occurring in the mitochondria, through which almost all living cells produce energy in aerobic respiration. It uses oxygen and gives out water and carbon dioxide as products. Infrared light improves mitrocondrial function.
Infrared light is a type of energy your eyes can't see, but your body can feel as heat. Red light is similar to infrared, but you can see it. BRP's new technology delivers both along with the pulsating sensation that infrared light produces! You literally feel it working.

The Vagus Nerve (VN) is known as the body's internet and acts as your body's super highway carrying information between the brain and your organs. The VN controls the body's functions. The VN is the body’s 10 of 12 cranial nerves and is the body’s largest branching cranial nerve. It is actually 2 nerves running from each side of your brain which branch out in many directions through your organs, nerves, and through your gastrointestinal areas. Do you suffer from stomachaches and pains due to IBS? CST is used to stimulate the VN for IBS relief.
Depending on the part of the nerve that’s affected, this can lead to:
Tools and strategies that help support a healthy vagus nerve tone are very important to maintain regular day-to-day activities and to avoid these undesired consequences. BRP teaches you simple techniques to help activate your VN.
Cranio Sacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on technique. BRP incorporates the Midline Therapy with CST, acupressure, miofascial, and Vagus Nerve release to relieve tension around your body's connective tissue network called the fascia. BRP uses SC-”AL”-P Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) Oil™, SC-”AL”-P Spritzer™ and Billie’s Oil™ during BRP CST sessions.
Fascia is the Latin word for band. It’s the casing found throughout your body that holds your organs, glands, nerves, muscles, blood vessels, brain and spinal cord. The fascia forms a body-wide connective tissue network. CST promotes pain relief from headaches, neck pain and the side effects of cancer treatment. CST also has been found to help lessen the side effects of Autism and Parkinsons disease. A calm brain is a fast brain, when your brain is calm your system works better.
BRP uses CST to activate GABA transmission and the Vagus Nerve (VN). GABA is everywhere in the brain but specifically acts as an interneuron regulating the flow of transmission . Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the most common inhibitory neurotransmitter in your central nervous system. It is an amino acid that functions as the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter for the central nervous system (CNS). It functions to reduce neuronal excitability by inhibiting nerve transmission. It lessens the ability of a nerve cell to receive, create or send chemical messages to other nerve cells. It is known for producing a calming effect. It also helps protect against acute liver disease, helps the heart, may increase HGH to help hormone levels and more.
After 60 minutes of administration, it significantly increases alpha waves and decreases beta waves compared to water or L-theanine. These findings denote that GABA not only induces relaxation but also reduces anxiety.
BRP has developed a product to relieve headaches, help with insomnia, calm anxieties and body aches with potential to help you with neurological benefits too. BRP developed this after a friend named Al. Al suffers from Parkinsons Disease and says he gets relief and a calming effect from the use of the SC-”AL-P Oil. The 2oz bottle contains approximately 1200 drops with 134 mg of Billie’s Oil™ per bottle. Suggested Use: Rub into your scalp midline with a drop at the top, front and back of the skull, and it is suggested you follow up with SC-”AL”-P Spritzer™.
Ingredients include blackseed, hemp, lemongrass, rose, castor oil, grapeseed, kukui nut, magnesium and Billie’s Oil™ 100mg per 2oz bottle. The Oil and Spritzer are also wonderful for hair health too. Oil and Spritzer do not require refrigeration.
The ultimate calming and healing medicinal oil. Billie’s Oil™ is a broad-spectrum cannabinoid product.
Billie’s Oil™ offers vast benefits, including:
A restful slumber, pain relief, insomnia, improved heart health, fibromyalgia, menopause, reduced seizures and foggy brain, improves inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), nightmares, immunity boost, anxiety, depression, cancer, ear aches, migraines, vertigo, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), improve oxygen delivery, muscle enhancement before and muscle recovery after a work-out and more. Consult with a physician before use if you have a serious medical condition or use prescription medications. A doctor's advice should be sought before using this and any medicinal or supplemental dietary product.
GABA regulation: Gaba is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate anxiety and keep feelings of fear and stress in check. When GABA levels are low, we feel more anxious and tense. It is tempting to speculate that CBD regulates, directly or indirectly, GABA a neurotransmission.
Suggested Use:
The drops are administered sublingually (under your tongue). If you have pain or anxiety you may use it as needed during the day, in the evening and at bedtime. Dose and timing of its use will vary person to person. Let the drops sit under your tongue for at least 1 minute. Start with a small dosage and increase slowly until you reach your desired effect. Dosage depends on many factors: weight, condition being treated, body chemistry and concentration of the product.
Consult your physician: Cancer patients may need to take up to 1500 mg daily where the average is anywhere between 20 mg-1500 mg daily depending on the type of cancer and pain levels.
Anxiety/Insomnia: Treating anxiety is different from combating insomnia. Anxiety may require a steady dose throughout the day, while insomnia may need a larger dose just at bedtime.
Chronic pain: increase dosage until you find relief, and on days when pain is less cut back on the dosage. With chronic pain, topical applications on the affected areas is also suggested.
Neurological Disorders: apply 5-10 drops topically on the spine from the brainstem at the base of your skull to the coccyx at the end of your spine. You can use a long bath soap applicator to reach the spine unless you have someone who may apply it for you. The oil is massaged directly into the spine.
Migraines: apply sublingually, in your ears and topically. Apply a drop on the top of your head and in each ear, on each side of your eyes, across the forehead and down the sides of your neck. Rub the areas with slight pressure to massage the oil into the head. Drop your desired dose under your tongue and let it sit for about a minute.
Earaches/Vagus Nerve: put one drop into each ear and massage gently, as BRP teaches.
Moist Heat Treatments: Apply onto the affected areas and then apply castor oil generously over the Billie’s Oil™. Take a moist warm/hot towel and cover the entire area and allow the moist heat to penetrate the products and seal them into the skin. This is effective for treating low back pain, neck pain, kidney/liver pain, foot pain/neuropathy, sprained ankles/knees/wrists etc. Great for IBD, menstrual cramps too.
Dosage: Start with a low dose and increase as needed. The dose of Hemp/CBD is typically 0.25 times your body weight daily. A 120 pound person would typically use up to 30mg a day and a 200 pound person typically 50mg a day. A bottle of Billie’s Oil™ holds 4020 mg with approximately 1200 drops per 2oz bottle and a dropper is 67mg.

I've been a client of BRP for over a year now. I am enjoying the process. The sessions are something I look forward to and the products are so enjoyable to use. BRP is excellent and so informed on all areas of the body. The picture was taken on my kitchen counter. I use the products everyday and they work. I highly recommend BRP.
We have regular sessions for my swelling, and cranial treatments for Al's Parkinson Disease symptom relief. We saw results from the very first appointment. The picture shows my ankles after the left is treated. The results ease pain and swelling. I dry brush and use the lymphatic oil/spritzer daily, it is my name that was used for the product. I love it and it works. I follow the daily routine with dry-brushing, oil and spritzer. We love the Billie's oil and Al uses the oil midline application, as BRP teaches, and he is known to ease his pains with my lymphatic spritzer. I like the "natures botox" face serum, it makes my skin soft and i can use it under my makeup too. We also use the "Neigh Emollient" roll on. The medicinal honey is delicious! A plus is you don't feel oily and the products offer both CBD and Hemp in them. You won't be disappointed with the service and products.
I was refered to BRP by my mother. I've become a regular client and use Billie's Oil to calm anxiety and pain, during the day as needed and at night. BRP assessed my inflammation and helped find what caused my symptoms. BRP has helped kick start my lymphatic system and has taught me lymphatic massage too. Basketball has a whole new meaning thanks to lymphatic activation techniques BRP taught me to use at home. I enjoy the embibe, honey and the chocolate macadmin edibles are delicious. The snicker cookies are a must! I like that the products are used in my sessions, the value of the session is extremely affordable. Everything is explained and I've learned a lot about my health. I hope to be able to be in shape and healthier and BRP is part of my daily routine.
I am a senior woman with lymphedema. The picture is from my second session, one leg is treated and one isn't yet, can you guess which leg has been treated? BRP has helped me learn how to care for my condition by helping treat the swelling. The knowledge BRP gives me has been better than any practitioner has so far and the results speak for themselves. I was taught how to activate my lymph nodes with simple massage. I highly recommend BRP.
*Nancy has since passed away
her son thanked BRP for the care and assistance given his mother. He told us she really benefited from the sessions and it helped her symptoms. She was gratetful for the help.
I love Brp, the massages and products! I use Billie's Oil nightly.
Somehow, I injured my knee. I went to the doctor, had x-rays and started physical therapy. The pain remained, I could barely go up and down the stairs. After one session , focusing on my knee, using deep tissue massage, miofascial release and the products, overnight the pain that I had experienced for several months was almost gone! Even if you don't have an aches or pains the massages are wonderful!!
BRP has a good relationship with doctors and therapists who refer clients to the sessions. The results are easily seen and the lymphatic oil works better than any other natural swelling products most have used. By working with both traditional and alternative therapies BRP educational sessions compliment traditional medicine.
