We
are told that the 21st Century, the age of Aquarius, is
predominantly the age of female energy. This female energy is not
solely the domain of women but also of men who are willing to
acknowledge the importance of intuitive energy in the process of
life.
Our
Century requires high survival skills and sophistication that can
only be obtained by women who don’t abuse their male energy and
men who are not afraid to acknowledge and honor their intuitive
female capacity.
Male
energy is above all a left brain cognitive affair while female
energy is the right brain intuitive attribute. Reciprocal respect
and utilization of the two hemispheres’ attributes makes
possible to overcome social and physical ailments.
In
a cosmic sense right brain intuitive knowledge is associated with
Eastern thinking processes while analytical evaluations are
associated with strictly Western mentality.
The
marriage of the two brings about formidable interventions that can
be utilized in any human condition but most noticeably in the
treatment of the overwhelming number of degenerative diseases that
characterize the pathology of our century.
Proper
integration of the two cerebral constructs requires a great deal
of respect for each other that allows the best utilization of the
most appropriate system for any given situation. Even within the
same illness things might change from time to time to require a
different approach. For instance a rheumatoid arthritis patient
might develop a severe infection that requires utilization of
antibiotics. In our integrative approach we would however combine
this with adequate amounts of probiotics to avoid overgrowth of
yeast and further immunsuppression. We might also utilize energy
interventions to improve the biochemical balance.
In
my book, The Ageless Woman,
I emphasize the fact that wellness can only take place when the
three templates; energy,
biochemistry and soma are in harmony with each other. The
energy template is the guiding template. If this important but
subtle aspect of our physiology is out of balance, interventions
on the chemical and somatic level can obtain at best limited
results. Many failures of conventional medicine are due to lack of
understanding of this fact.
Conventional
medicine’s main concern is in fact suppression of symptoms. This
only leads to further disregulation of the biological systems.
We
have reached an impasse in medicine not different that what
historically has occurred during social or religious revolutions.
The non functional system still in power, seldom if ever allows
evolution and peaceful incorporation of new and more viable ideas,
even on the face of what appears to be obvious to the enlightened.
In
our understanding the stress response hold a central role in the pathophysiology
processes of all degenerative diseases. I remember a dramatic
episode that took place 20 years ago. A patient of mine a
beautiful and accomplished pianist had an altercation with her
boyfriend who was somewhat abusive, went to bed seemingly well and
woke up the fallowing morning with her beautiful face covered by acne.
As
we will see throughout this presentation, stress can cause serious
endocrinological, hormonal and immunsuppression phenomena.
In
the case of the young pianist the shock of her boyfriend’s
rejection expressed itself in the feature he seemingly loved the
most, her face.
On
a different level, the brain and the skin come from the same
embryological tissue; the ectoderme.
Neuropsychological disturbances can therefore more easily express
themselves in this organ.
Conventional
medicine, while it makes use of some energetic tools such as the
widely used MRI, scorns other, so called, less “scientific”
and less costly tools such as applied kinesiology or radionics and
of course the intuitive power of psychic healers. The astounding
studies on the value of prayer publicized by Dr Larry Dossey, a
respected psychiatrist and writer, should forewarn the misbeliever
that the energy template taps into the universal healing energy of
the first and best healer of all, God.
The
energy template vibrates
at a very high speed and can only be evaluated by energetic
instruments or by the healers.
The
biochemical template vibrates at a slower frequency and can be
measured by conventional medical tools such as blood tests,
urinalysis, etc. Disturbances
in the energetic template create measurable energy fields such as
the ones seen by conventional EKG and EEG.
The
physical template is the
densest of the three and it is in this template that illnesses
manifest. However, such as is the case with cancer, it would be
much easier and much more successful to treat patients in the
stage of energetic imbalance that it is ,once the illness
manifests on the physical level.
MAINSTREAM
MEDICINE IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN USA, ACCORDING TO bio-statisticians.
A
definitive review and close reading of medical peer-review
journals and government health statistics shows that American
medicine frequently causes more harm than good.
In 1995 Dr. Richard Besser of CDC said that the number of
people having hospital adverse drug reactions (ADR ) mounted to a
2.2 million.
He
states that the number of unnecessary antibiotics is up to tens of
million.
The
number of unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed
annually is 7.5 million. The number of people exposed to
unnecessary hospitalization annually is 8.9 million.
The total number of iatrogenic
deaths shown in his table is a staggering 783,936. This makes
the main stream medical system the leading cause of death and
injury in the United States.
The
2001 heart disease annual death rate was 699,697; the annual
cancer death rate, 553,251.
Health
Care expenditure in the US has reached 14% of the Gross National
Product (GNP) a staggering $1.6 trillion in 2003 and this number
keeps on claiming.
With
such a record of inefficiency and such an unbelievable death rate
one must conclude that the current medial system is in need of
profound retooling.
It
would appear more urgent to investigate the rationale, efficacy
and cost effectiveness of pharmaceutical medicine than to
legislate restrictive rules for supplements and non invasive
medical modalities.
Illnesses
begin at the hypothalamic level
Any
unwelcoming stimulus such as emotional stress, toxic substances or
serious infections stimulates the hypothalamus to produce cortical
releasing hormone (CRH),
which travels to the pons, a
posterior brain structure, which produces large amounts of
norepinephrine (NE).
The NE in turn keeps on stimulating the locus ceruleus to keep on
producing CRH.
This
feedback mechanism is responsible for the “fight
or flight “physiological manifestations. If not properly
modulated, the fight or flight will lead to the exhaustion
phase of the general adaptation syndrome (GAS).
It
is in this phase that the somatic manifestations of most illnesses
take place.
One
of the most overwhelming somatic manifestations of stress is suspension of digestive processes.
The reduction of hydrochloric acid will lead not only to maldigestion, but putrefaction.
This condition in turn leads to inflammatory processes of
the intestines with overgrowth of pathological forms such as
Candida Albicans (dysbiosis).
These conditions lead to malabsorption
of the nutrients necessary to do the repair work of our immune
system and other vital structures of the body.
The
Krebs cycle (the energy factory within the mitochondria of every
cell) becomes unable to produce the necessary amount of adeno
triphosphoric acid (ATP), the cellular currency of our entire body. These are just some
of the manifestations of chronic stress and GAS.
During
this presentation, we will go step by step into the various phases
of GAS and its patho-physiological manifestations.
Chronic
fatigue syndrome and fybromyalgia are probably two of the most
demonstrable conditions of chronic stress. Emotional and viral
stress are the two major precipitants in the pathophysiology of
these illnesses.
If
the condition is dealt with in the earliest stages with
interventions both at energetic as well as biochemical levels, one
can avoid and reverse lifelong debilitating consequences..
In
the workshop, we will go into detailed case histories and
treatment plans that were able to reverse manifestations of these
illnesses and repair the injured organs.
