Sylvie Beljanski: Hello, Dr. Friedman, and thank you for joining us on The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show. I’m delighted to have you today. It’s the first time that we are having somebody involved in lymphatic massage, lymphatic drainage, and who is going to tell us about, about the lymphatic system? I do believe it is so important, and I love a good lymphatic drainage.

Dr. Friedman’s Journey into Lymphatic Health

Sylvie Beljanski: How did you get involved into that? That’s not that common. 

Dr. Loretta Friedman: Well, first of all, thank you so much for having me today. I am so excited to be talking to you. I started doing lymphatic drainage about 25 years ago. I’ve been in practice a little over 30 years. Patients weren’t responding as well as I thought they should be.

I’m also a Directional Non-Force Chiropractor which means I don’t do any “rack ’em, sack ’em, crack ’em”. I don’t pop or twist anybody. It’s a very gentle, extremely effective form of chiropractic care. I’m one of two people in all of New York state. I’m one of 150 people in the whole country. So, there’s very few of us.

People come from all over because we really do, we fix people quickly. What I do in six or eight visits, traditional chiropractic doesn’t achieve in a hundred. The technique is solid. And when people were still suffering and still having difficulty, I wanted to fix it faster. And I thought it was all about stress.

I thought it was all about their adrenals and the body just producing too much cortisol, too much inflammation, and that’s what was hindering them. But you know what? These people weren’t stressed. They had nice lives. They were, they were not stressed out of their minds. And I started looking at different avenues and different channels and, actually, one of my vendors at the time went to a trade show and saw people speaking about the inflammation.

And she knew that’s what I was interested in. So I, she came back, gave me the information, and I took the ball and I ran with it. 

Understanding Lymphatic Drainage

Dr. Loretta Friedman: I found a machine, a three part light wave with an oscillating frequency that generates an electrostatic charge. And that electrostatic charge is like you walk across carpeting with your socks on and you go to touch the doorknob and you get that little shock. That’s an electrostatic shock. That’s what penetrates into the body and it squeezes, causes lymph, causes sympathetic effect, squeezes the lymphatic vessels, and the oscillating frequency, literally cleaves, chop chops the toxins off the lymph fluid.

So, not only can you get lymph fluid out of the body, but the toxicity, that’s the key. That’s the part that everybody misses because toxins cause the blockage and stagnation of the lymphatic fluid. That’s why people develop lymphedema outta nowhere, out of the blue. All of a sudden they start to swell because they’re toxic. Same thing. Patients who have cancer and autoimmune diseases, it’s because they’re toxic.

Sylvie Beljanski: Sure. But explain to me, because you’re speaking of fluid going out, so exactly what, what happens? I am walking into your, your, the room where you are going to give the practice, what is going to happen to me? 

Dr. Loretta Friedman: So, what’s gonna happen to you is, as a woman, we tend to store toxicity in our breast tissue, okay?

Study was done in 2014 where they tested women’s breast tissue, tested positive for 17 different dangerous chemicals that all cause cancer and autoimmune diseases. So, somebody comes in, I do a toxicity test is the first thing that I do in my office. 

Toxicity Testing and Its Importance

Sylvie Beljanski: What does toxicity test look like? What does it entail? What does it show? 

Dr. Loretta Friedman: It’s a simple test. It’s also referred to as an aging analysis. It’s electrodes on the back of your hand, Sylvie, and the back of your foot. I put an electrical impulse into your body and it prints out an algorithm, and this algorithm correlates to cell health.

So, I could take a look at you on a cellular level and see if your cells are aging prematurely, if your cell membrane is shrinking, if your mitochondria aren’t being oxygenated properly and you have no energy, if your cell receptors have lost their sensitivity, a first sign of prediabetes and also a shift of fluid from inside the cell to outside the cell.

That shift is indicative of toxicity. So, I can tell you how toxic you are, not what kind, but how much toxicity you are walking around with. And it’s that toxicity that causes health problems and issues and lymphedema. 

Lymphatic Drainage Procedure Explained

Sylvie Beljanski: Okay, so I go through the tests and you have an idea of how toxic I am, and you decide that I am very toxic.

Okay, then, what next? 

Dr. Loretta Friedman: So, if you’re in the office, we go through all the results of the test right here, immediately. I take a thorough history, go through all the results to say this is why your symptoms are, this is why you’re feeling the way you are. And we set up an appointment to do a lymphatic drainage.

Again, the lymph drainage is very comfortable. It’s very relaxing. People feel lightheaded. Sometimes they feel a little euphoric from the treatments. Sometimes tired because they’re moving the toxicity around for the first time. But you lie down on the table, make you comfortable.

The lymph machine is a light bulb, okay? Handmade light bulb that holds three noble gases. And the noble gases, when electricity is turned on, they create this electrostatic charge. So, you can see a blue violet light that’s in the bulb, and this is what’s used on the body. So, I start with under the axilla, and then I do the left breast, and then I come back to do the right axilla and do the right breast.

And what this does is it squeezes all the lymph under the arm and in the breast tissue. So women who have, let’s say, lumpy, bumpy, tender breasts. It goes away. Sometimes, one visit, the lumpy bumpy tenderness can go away, swollen lymph nodes under their arms, reduce themselves and get smaller.

And it’s a series of sessions because, takes a few minutes to get toxins out that have been there for years. So, we set up appointments to do a series and people feel better. 

Sylvie Beljanski: How long is a series, average?

Dr. Loretta Friedman: So a session is 45 minutes to an hour.

Sylvie Beljanski: And how many sessions people, generally, need?

Dr. Loretta Friedman: We start, usually, we start with 10.

Sylvie Beljanski: Okay.

Dr. Loretta Friedman: So, that gets things moving. People see results, and it starts to get the toxins out. The toxins are dumped into the ducts. You have a thoracic duct here and you have a cisterna chyli in your truckle region. That’s where the toxins go out, and get dumped into your urine and your feces so they can be removed from the body.

Victor Dwyer: And what is a lymphatic? What is a, like, lymph and then what is the fluid that is in there? 

Dr. Loretta Friedman: So, lymph is the other circulatory system in the body. Okay. It’s just like your circulation, but it’s lymphatic fluid. It doesn’t have a pump like the heart.

So, the lymph fluid only moves with movement that, walking up and down stairs, moving around, exercising. That’s the only way that lymph moves through the system. And the lymph is what delivers the immune response to the body. So, let’s say you sprain your ankle and it swells up like a grapefruit or an orange, right? That’s lymphatic fluid.

And that’s actually an innate intelligence of the body, sending the inflammation to the ankle so you don’t use it. This hurts. Don’t walk on it. Don’t put weight on it. And that fluid should go away 4 to 6 weeks. When it doesn’t go away, when it stays there and it’s 8 weeks, 10 weeks later, and the inflammation is still there, that’s lymphedema. Okay. There’s a difference. So the fluid can get in, but it can’t get out. So people, they have big arms, big legs, big bellies. You can have swelling anywhere in your body. 

Sylvie Beljanski: We are often told that, when, we should drink a lot and that helps keep the fluid go out.

What’s the difference between drinking a lot and getting lymphatic drainage? 

Dr. Loretta Friedman: So, drinking a lot of water doesn’t necessarily do anything for the toxicity. Okay? So, drinking water doesn’t necessarily move toxins out of your body efficiently. So, toxins have to be removed. 25, 30% of the population doesn’t detox properly.

Their liver function, phase one, phase two, hydroxylation methylation doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to. This is why toxins build up and affect some people. Not everybody. We’re not all walking around with autoimmune diseases. We’re not all walking around with cancers. But those people who do, it’s because they’re not detoxing properly.

I’m not talking about a claims, I’m talking about a metabolic detox. Your gut, your liver, your lymphatic system, your kidneys and your lungs. So, that’s metabolic detox.

Sylvie Beljanski: So, the metabolic detox, the fasting, all those methods for detox are helping to eliminate some toxins, but you are eliminating other toxins and other systems filled with toxins. 

Dr. Loretta Friedman: I am removing toxins that attach themselves to the lymphatic system. That’s how toxicity moves around the body.

So, it attaches itself to the lymph and it just travels along with the lymph fluid in your system. And, unfortunately, the body, you could walk around with toxins for years and all of a sudden something triggers it and it makes your immune system go into overdrive. All of a sudden you start producing a lot more lymph fluid and it doesn’t have anywhere to go because the toxins are causing stagnation. So, you start to fill with fluid. 

Sylvie Beljanski: You mentioned people with cancer or with autoimmune disease. How are those people benefiting? How does it work with the other methodology to address those diseases? 

Dr. Loretta Friedman: With cancer patients, I also, I’m a clinical nutritionist, so, depending on the type of cancer that they have, I use all kinds of natural cancer killers. I use all kinds of immunoglobulins. I use all kinds of hormone suppressors, along with the lift.

So, they heal, they get better faster, you know. They feel better, they have more energy. Whatever heaviness they’re walking around with, whatever fullness they’re walking around with, lumbering, I can remove that quickly. 

Sylvie Beljanski: When you say quickly, how long, as an average, does it take, people should expect?

Dr. Loretta Friedman: It’s very interesting ’cause everybody is different. I am the only one in the country who can honestly say that I get rid of lymphedema. I have patients who’ve had swollen legs for years, and within 6 or 8 sessions, the fluid is gone and it doesn’t come back.

I’ve had post-op patients, they had surgery, hip replacement, and all of a sudden they developed lymphedema in their leg and very painful, muscle spasm, cramp. Again, within 8-10 sessions, and making dietary changes and putting them on a metabolic detox protocol, all the lymphedema’s gone and it has not, and it doesn’t come back.

Sylvie Beljanski: It’s about one session per week?

Dr. Loretta Friedman: Yeah. It depends. It depends on how much toxicity. Somebody is very toxic, I like to try to get them in twice a week for the first 2 weeks to get the toxins moving because they’ve been there for a long time and they’re stagnant. So, it takes a minute to get things rolling and to get your system moving a little more efficiently. And then once a week after that. 

Common Toxins and Their Impact

Victor Dwyer: What are the top 3 toxins that people usually come to you with? 

Dr. Loretta Friedman: Yeah, so the, we test, okay. So, I do a lot of testing. I do stool tests, I do urine tests, I do urinary hormone testing, I do saliva testing. This is what tells me exactly what toxin somebody has in their body, so I know what to target, so I’m not just throwing something on the wall to see what sticks.

I know exactly what I need to remove from them. The biggest toxicity that we see is hormonal imbalance with women, estrogen dominance, hydro estrones metabolites, L2s and fours and sixteens get stuck in their pathways. And this is what causes cancer, so you can see it. Heavy metals, also very big, molds, lots and lots of molds, I would say, and plastic. So, those are really the top four. But there’s also, there’s tons. You know what I mean? There’s a lot more. But those are the top four, I would say. 

Sylvie Beljanski: So, tests are in addition to the electrode things that you told us about earlier?

Dr. Loretta Friedman: Yes. The testing once, once we do the cell test and I get the results and I see how much toxicity somebody has in their system, I ask them to do further testing so we could identify exactly what that toxicity is, so I’m not operating blindly. And like I said, we do stool tests, we do a urinary hormone test for women’s hormones, and we do a total tox burden that looks at all the environmental toxins including the PFAS, the forever chemicals that are in the water that people are exposed to.

Sylvie Beljanski: And how different is a protocol from another based on this information of what kind of toxins your patient is loaded with? 

Dr. Loretta Friedman: All the protocols are slightly different. Somebody comes in and they have a hormonal imbalance that I’m going to target blocking the high estrogen levels getting the hormone pathways moving appropriately, focusing on, it’s almost always with everyone, it’s focusing on liver detoxification, phase one, phase two, hydroxylation and methylation, getting the liver back its ability to get toxins out, to move the garbage that’s in us, out of us as quickly as possible. So I use tinctures, I use tonics, I use powders, I use pills. Whatever’s necessary for the patient.

Nutritional Guidance and Lifestyle Changes

Sylvie Beljanski: And what part of your approach is nutritional and how much is lymphatic drainage? 

Dr. Loretta Friedman: I go through nutritional things with all the patients in terms of removing inflammatory foods from their diet, very important, removing dairy and sugars and flowers, grains for the most part except for quinoa and buckwheat, and then it’s a matter of what’s going on with them, with their lean muscle and their body fat ratios, ’cause we can also see that with the testing results. So if somebody’s got 40% body fat, 60% lean muscle, that’s not a great ratio. To improve your protein, intake natural organic antibiotic hormone, steroid free meats, organic fruits and vegetables, things to that extent. And I’m always available for questions. I tell people “If you’re going shopping to buy food and you have a question, just text me. I’d rather you get it right than you get it wrong.” 

Victor Dwyer: That’s awesome. And I’m curious about, is there any other particular foods that people are eating or either foods or activities that people are doing on a day-to-day basis that people come to you with that are wrong, whether if it’s drinking from tap water, whether if it’s eating chips, what are the top three things that people are typically doing that they need to stop doing?

Dr. Loretta Friedman: Okay fast food is a no-no. Okay. I don’t care how good you think the Chick-fil-A is. It’s a no-no. Any kind of diet, sodas, any kind of diet drinks, anything with artificial sweeteners in it. I have 20-something year olds that come to see me that have cell membranes of 60-year olds that, they’re shrinking, because they’re eating garbage.

And all of the snack food is poison. It’s all toxic. You tell me that you think eating Cheetos is healthy, or what, Doritos, it’s healthy, or the little things with the cheese in it? The cheese is plastic. Literally it’s plastic. It’s not real food. It’s plastic. So yeah, it’s not, all of that stuff.

Victor Dwyer: Yeah. Got it. That’s interesting. 

Sylvie Beljanski: You mentioned at the beginning of the women with breast cancer, hormonal imbalance. What about the men?

Men’s Health and Stress Management

Dr. Loretta Friedman: I see male patients as well, men who, they get different kinds of cancer. Sometimes men get breast cancer. It’s not as common, but they’ll get lesions or lumps that are cancerous.

I see men for a variety of things. Prostate, they’re a little higher on the colorectal cancer end of things. I see patients, stomach cancer a little more often in men. But I also see men who just want to feel better. Their energy is low. They’re not sleeping.

I had a patient, a 30-something year old in Arizona. He was a police officer and he couldn’t pick his head off the pillow. This was going on for a year and he saw everybody. He went to everyone. He just could not figure it out. I had a long intake with him and he had a stressful event go on.

One of his coworkers got shot, and he had to hold down the scene while everybody else got there. His wife had shared that with me. I asked him a whole bunch of questions, but things like, “So, have you put on 10 or 15 pounds recently? Just like right around the belly, like a muffin top.”

He’s “Yeah, and I can’t get rid of it.” I’m like, “Uh-huh.” It was all cortisol, it was all stress. His adrenals were off the chart. I don’t know why nobody could figure it out in Arizona. This is not rocket science. I sent him a whole bunch of supplements that he needed. I supported his mitochondria function, oxygenation. I put him on things to, for his adrenal glands. And within two weeks he started sleeping. He had more energy. He’d said “You gave me my life back. Thank you.” Because it was really going down the crapper. His wife, his marriage, his child, his job was all just slipping away.

Sylvie Beljanski: So if I go to see you, first it starts with this testing, then some kind of nutritional consultation, then I go on your mat and you do this lymphatic drainage with little little machine, right?

Dr. Loretta Friedman: Yes.

Sylvie Beljanski: And the, that takes for how long, this lymphatic drainage?

Dr. Loretta Friedman: It’s a 45-minute to an hour session.

Sylvie Beljanski: Okay.

Dr. Loretta Friedman: So, you’ll be relaxed. You may be a little lightheaded, you may feel a little euphoric. Most people enjoy it. It’s a very relaxing treatment. People go home, they sleep better right out of the blocks. 

Sylvie Beljanski: And then, so there are about 10 sessions like that, right?

Dr. Loretta Friedman: Yes.

Sylvie Beljanski: And how after that, is there a measurement of, how do I know if I have gotten rid of my toxicity? How do I measure the results?

Dr. Loretta Friedman: The testing that we do, when the results come in, they take about 10 to 15 days. So, we start with the lymph because it’s the fastest way to start moving toxins out.

Once we get the test results back, then we have something a little more concrete to focus on and to look at. Those tests are repeated in about a year. They’re not cheap. They’re expensive tests, and unfortunately, a lot of the results are objective. The needle doesn’t necessarily move a whole lot, but people do feel better very quickly. It’s a little more subjective than anything else. 

Sylvie Beljanski: I assume if you get rid of, your lymph, lymphatic system is eliminating the mold, or you are able to measure that or heavy metal, you’re able to measure that, right? 

Dr. Loretta Friedman: Yeah. So we do thermographies to take a look at all the lymphatic congestion that’s going on in the body.

I have a woman here in the city who does all my thermographies for me. She’s very good. Patricia Luccardi. And so you can see the congestion starting to break up, starting to leave the body. That’s an objective measurement that we use often. 

Victor Dwyer: Yeah.

Sylvie Beljanski: Okay.

Victor Dwyer: That’s awesome. 

Final Thoughts and Contact Information

Victor Dwyer: Do you have any other books or events or materials you’d like to promote for our podcast listeners? 

Dr. Loretta Friedman: Oh, sure! I have a book called the Lymph-Link. It’s on my website, Synergy Health Associates. It’s also on Amazon. It came out a few, came out a few years ago.

I don’t think you can see it with this light. People enjoy it. It’s a nice read. It’s an easy read. I explain a lot of informa, information to people about the lymphatic system because not only do patients not know the lymphatic system, but the doctors don’t know anything about the lymphatic system.

They have no idea what to do with these patients. They send them for the lymph massage, doesn’t work. They send them for compression treatments, doesn’t work. And they’re like, they finally find me and then, like, finally. Some of ‘em, they see me on Instagram or somebody told them or mentioned it and they’re like, “Why didn’t anybody tell me?”

I’m like, “Because they don’t know.” They just don’t know. They’re not educated to learn more. They know what they know and that’s all they wanna know. They don’t wanna open up to all the alternative treatments that are available that work. And I’m really focusing on the fact that patients need to know that we are not the last resort.

They need to come to us right there out of the blocks where they get diagnosed with a cancer or some autoimmune disease. Whatever treatment they choose, they need to come to us at the same time. Because the doctors also don’t know that the supplements that you sell, the tinctures that I use, the natural hormone blockers that I use don’t interfere. They don’t interfere with chemotherapy.

And the doctors are like, “No. Don’t do that. Don’t you…” Show me a study where vitamin C interferes with chemotherapy. You show me a study where a patient can’t go for a vitamin C drip, or go for a vitamin B12 drip that it’s gonna interfere with chemo, gimme a break.

They’re just not educated and they don’t wanna listen. They’re like “No.” And patients need to know this. They need to know that they need to do both things in conjunction, not one or the other. They need to do it simultaneously. And, so, you, keep ’em off heavy duty antioxidants. That interferes with chemo. There are a lot of other things that they can take besides heavy duty antioxidants that, that work.

I use a biologically active protein that I’ve been using for decades that, Sloan Kettering approves this. Some other, from some queen’s hospital told the patient. “No, don’t take that. It increases appetite, it keeps your white blood cell count up.” And I’m like, “You go tell your doctor that Sloan authorizes this, that they recommend this to their patients. Tell ’em to learn, okay. Not to be so blinded by his ignorance.” So yeah, I, I get very upset because, patients…

Sylvie Beljanski: We see that.

Victor Dwyer: You’re very passionate.

Dr. Loretta Friedman: Your patients suffer. They suffer needlessly. It’s so sad.

Sylvie Beljanski: It is so right. And that’s why we have tried to have this information on The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show where you can get information that you don’t hear everywhere. Because, otherwise, what would be the point of having this podcast?

Dr. Loretta Friedman: Look at your stuff. It’s brilliant, that it kills cancer, that it protects the healthy cells, that it kills the bad cells that the messenger, the fragments, messenger RNA, that it can destroy the residual that the cancer’s still in your system. You know, you want it there. You wanna get it out. There’s all this new testing. The Natera test, the RGCC. There’s a…

Sylvie Beljanski: And we have studies also showing the synergy of action between chemotherapies and all the plants that we are working with. 

Dr. Loretta Friedman: Right, exactly. And it’s, it, it’s not gonna hurt them. It’s only gonna help them. They need to know that. So yeah, I’m doing a series about that because people need to know. They really need to know that they need to step up right out of, the right in the beginning, not wait. Until chemo and radiation don’t work and they have Stage four and they’re looking for a miracle. They do happen, but they don’t always happen.

Victor Dwyer: Yeah. 

Sylvie Beljanski: So, for people who want to do something for their health, where can they find you? 

Dr. Loretta Friedman: Oh, I’m around.

Sylvie Beljanski: Can you tell us more?

Dr. Loretta Friedman: Yeah, I’ve been in practice for 31 years. I’m on 5th Avenue and 14th Street, right in the heart of Union Square.

Sylvie Beljanski: In New York? In Manhattan, in New York?

Dr. Loretta Friedman: New York. My website is Synergy Health Associates with an S, plural. You can follow me on Instagram, same thing, Synergy Health Associates. My book, like I said, is available on the website or you could get it on Amazon.

Sylvie Beljanski: What is the title again of the book?

Dr. Loretta Friedman: Lymph-Link. Lymph-Link.

Sylvie Beljanski: Very good.

Dr. Loretta Friedman: People really enjoy it. They call me all the time, “Oh my God! I love your book. I enjoyed reading it. I’m reading it a second time.” I’m like, “Really? Wow. Okay.”

Victor Dwyer: That’s awesome.

Dr. Loretta Friedman: So yeah. I’m like, “Did I say that? I don’t remember saying that. Wait. Lemme look, ok?” I try my best to help people.

Victor Dwyer: Yeah. 

Sylvie Beljanski: And I am sure it shows. Thank you so very much, Dr. Loretta. It was a great interview. And I am sure that our listeners will appreciate their funny, fun, approach and effective.

Victor Dwyer: Yeah. 

Dr. Loretta Friedman: Thank you. Thank you very much.

Victor Dwyer: Thank you Dr. Friedman, for joining. And thank you, everyone, for listening up to this point. This is The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show, and we’ll catch you next time. Thanks.
