INTRODUCTION
A MODEL FOR HOLISTIC HEALTH AND HEALTH CARE
People often ask me, "What do you do in your
treatments?" and I find that no matter what I say or how well I
explain it, the individual cannot really comprehend the true
nature of what I do through words alone. It is experiential as
well as technical. The truth is, I have learned over half a
dozen
techniques that deal with the body's physical, emotional,
chemical, and spiritual aspects and I employ all of them in my
practice. Each person is like a book that must be read on all
four levels if I am to really assist them. If one or more of
these
levels are not taken into consideration, only part of the
problem will be corrected and the health imbalance may
persist.
Unfortunately today there is a failure to acknowledge
and treat all facets of the individual in concert. As a result
many health conditions persist and are eventually labeled
"chronic." This usually results in either a person being treated
for years and years to no avail, or their symptoms being
suppressed. In the latter case, doctor and patient rejoice in
the
apparent success of the treatment but as time passes,
sometimes many years, the problem suddenly returns for no
obvious reason and the original treatment becomes ineffective.
Why do the symptoms resurface? Because the root cause
was not addressed the first time. The body has been pulled out of harmony with
its environment and is asking us to pay attention, telling us there is more that
needs to be addressed in order to allow true healing to take place.
This book is an attempt to give the reader a theoretical
rather than a technical understanding of the different
techniques that I incorporate in my healing practice. I will not
explain in depth how the various conditions are corrected, but rather
why they are present and the effects they are having. All treatments are done
with hand, using light digital pressure, rubbing, and gentle chiropractic and
cranial adjusting. Many doctors and therapists are using some of the techniques
described in this book, however, the key here is to understand that there is a
specific sequence and order that the corrections must be done in
order to witness lasting and permanent changes. The
technical aspects are reserved for another forum, seminar or
presentation.
In the past, people have been concerned with having a
problem quickly corrected rather than understanding how it
was caused. Today, however, people have begun educating
themselves. They are seeking caregivers who will enlighten
them about the workings of the body, mind and soul and help
them co-create wellness in themselves. This is one reason why
I never use the word "cure." A patient who asks a doctor or
health practitioner to cure them is giving their power away,
and abdicating their own responsibility. I believe the body has
an innate intelligence that knows exactly how to stay in
balance with itself and its environment. The power that made
the body is the power that heals the body - we should listen to
it
and trust in its infinite intelligence to guide us. When we fail
to
listen to this intelligence, we move out of balance and block
its
flow. The way to return the body to balance and health is
simply, to let it flow again. This is where the real cure lies.
My intent in writing this book is to explain how health
conditions - many of which have been labeled chronic, inherited or untreatable -
can in fact be treated and often corrected in very few sessions. It is important
to note that the hands-on procedures I use to unblock energy are done without
the aid of any drugs or other foreign substances. Taught to me by different
teachers around the world, many of these techniques, though appearing to be new
age or cutting-edge by today's standards, are actually deeply rooted in long
revered systems, philosophies and doctrines of the past.
I am forever grateful to my teachers and masters, and in
keeping with their original spirit, I am continuing to combine
their knowledge and techniques with my own findings and
inspirations. By applying the principles and practices
outlined in this book, I envision a new global model for health
care that incorporates many of these present day
breakthroughs with time-honored techniques and knowledge
of the past.
Health care is one of the most critical financial burdens of any
country, but by using these methods I believe a more cost-effective health and
wellness system can be implemented. It would eliminate unnecessary treatments
and tests, and avoid the expenditure of time and money on therapies that may
only become effective after other techniques have first been applied.
Some of
the methods outlined here have a proven scientific basis while others do not as
yet. This does not mean the latter should be disregarded or rejected. It simply
means that the financial support or corporate will to look into many of these
so-called "alternative" methods is not available yet. Meanwhile these methods
should be given a fair chance and I appeal to any readers who are able to test,
research, fund, promote and implement the methods covered in this book to
