Another interesting development along these lines is energy therapy, which

combines affirmations with tapping on the ancient chi meridians like

THINK OF THE IMPLICATIONS

Let's try a thought experiment, as Albert Einstein called it.

What if everyone in our country stopped eating junk food and ate traditional

natural food instead?

We would all have perfect teeth like the Eskimos. No more fillings. No more root

canals. No more implants. No more false teeth. Think of the impact on the dental

profession.

We would all have perfect vision like the Masai. No more eyeglasses. No more

contact lenses. Think of the impact on the optometrists and the oculists.

We would all be free from heart attacks like the Polynesians. Think of the

impact on hospitals and the surgeons that perform bypass operations and

angioplasty.

We would all be free from cancer like the Native Americans. Think of the impact

on hospitals administering chemotherapy and performing surgical operations on

cancer patients.

Go through the entire list of degenerative diseases this way. Think of the

impact on our medical care system.

Isn't it obvious that the effect on the people providing these services would be

catastrophic?

I'll leave you with that thought.

Subject: Healing and the Mind

An interesting article from http://www.zukav.com/index.htm:

Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D. was the founding Executive Director of the Center

for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society; founder and

former director of its world-famous Stress Reduction Clinic; and

Professor of Medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

Healing and the Mind:

Picture this: a person with the skin disease psoriasis comes into the

hospital for treatment three times per week. Treatment consists of

standing naked in a cylindrical box lined with ultraviolet light bulbs

and having the skin be exposed for up to ten minutes to ultraviolet

light. Over time, the dry, unsightly, itchy patches of skin

characteristic of psoriasis, which can cover large regions of the body

in severe cases, gradually clear up, and the skin resumes its normal

appearance. The scaly patches may very well return at some point,

especially with psychological stress, but for at least some period of

time, often quite long, the skin has a normal appearance.

Now picture this: another person with psoriasis comes into the hospital,

goes into the lightbox, and meditates, following instructions played on

a tape, while standing in the lightbox under the lights. Over time, as

the treatments get longer, the patient hears more and more of the taped

instructions. Over time, that persons skin also clears.

Now the question is this: if you compare people just getting the

ultraviolet light treatment by itself with those who are meditating

while they are receiving the treatments, is there any difference in the

overall rate at which the skin clears between the two groups? The answer

is the meditators' skin cleared approximately four times the rate of the

non-meditators, all other things being equal.

This study suggests that something those folks in the meditation group

were doing speeded up the process of healing in a dramatic way. But all

they were doing was listening to a tape which suggested they pay

attention to their body sensations while standing under the hot lights -

to sensations associated with their breathing, and what they were

hearing (mostly loud fans circulating the air). The tape also instructed

them to visualize the light slowing down and then stopping the division

of the rapidly growing cells in the epidermis. When people ask me what

is on the tape, I like to say that most of the tape is silent (which is

true) and the rest is instructions for how to use the silence by paying

attention (what meditation is about).

Whatever the meditators were doing (and this study does not prove that

it is the meditation that was effective), something their minds were

engaged in contributed to their skin clearing faster than it would have

with the light alone. They would tell us that they felt they were

participating in their treatments for the first time rather than just

being passive recipients of treatment, and that felt good to them, and

important. They had a sense that perhaps they were helping themselves by

engaging in this way, while they were being helped by the treatment as

well.

This study is an example of " integrative medicine " or " mind-body

medicine. It is integrative because the mind-body treatment (the

meditation/visualization) is integrated into the traditional medical

treatment (the ultraviolet light). Integrative medicine is now happening

in mainstream medicine, in hospitals, in cooperation with the

physicians, and not part of alternative adjunct treatments the primary

physician might not know about.

This study also suggests that treatment costs can be reduced because

patients may need fewer treatments. Those who heal faster by using their

minds in this way are also exposed to less ultraviolet light because

they need fewer treatments, and the UV light is itself a risk factor for

skin cancer. Finally, it suggests that a focused mind can influence

uncontrolled cell proliferation in a positive way and may therefore have

applications in the treatment of certain cancers. So we can see that

this study suggests a number of important medical implications for

understanding the relationship of the mind to healing.

This is only one of many studies to come out of the Center for

Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the University of

Massachusetts Medical School and its world-famous Stress Reduction

Clinic. Over 13 thousand patients have completed an eight-week

outpatient program in mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) at the

UMass hospital, and hundreds of mindfulness-based stress reduction

programs have opened in hospitals, medical centers, and clinics around

the country and around the world. Many researchers are studying

mindfulness-based stress reduction and its effects on cancer,

fibromyalgia, depression and others. We have recently conducted a study

in a corporate work setting, which shows that mindfulness-based stress

reduction over eight weeks can favorably change how the brain processes

negative emotions under stress and increase immune function. And you may

not know this but Phil , famed coach of the NBA champion Chicago

Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, trains his players in mindfulness and

mindfulness-based stress reduction in collaboration with one of our

former colleagues in the Stress Reduction Clinic at UMass. Last, more

and more physicians and other health professionals want to learn

mindfulness, not only for their patients but also to deal with the

stress and pain in their own lives.

So what does this all add up to? It suggests that whoever you are and

whatever your circumstances, you are a miraculous being -- a genius

really. At any age you have deep inner resources for healing and

transformation that you can draw upon if you learn to pay attention in

new ways. It suggests that you do not have to wait until you get sick or

stressed or in unbearable physical or emotional pain before you begin

paying attention to what is most important and nourishing of your body

and soul.

This realization is slowly but inevitably changing the face of medicine

and health care. It is driven mostly by consumers (all of us) demanding

better services and alternatives that involve lifestyle changes and

non-traditional approaches to health than by medicine itself, but it is

also being accelerated by the economic and directional crises that are

facing medicine today. There is a growing body of scientific evidence

from many centers around the world suggesting that mind-body

participatory approaches can make important contributions to health and

healing across a life span. Becoming mindful of your life is a great

adventure, one that you can participate in merely by dropping in on

yourself, learning to linger there, and ultimately, living fully the

life that is yours to live.

I wish you well on this adventure.

Yes, Irene, I've got a number of videos showing amazing results of EFT. For

example, snake phobias, Viet Nam vets tortured with horrible memories of the war

and constantly waking up with nightmares. Really impressive stuff. I've been

using it on my own problems -- depression, anxiety, etc. I recommend it to

anybody. We all have problems in our lives.

Hi everyone,

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is one of a growing number of therapies in

the fast growing field of Energy Psychology. Often these techniques are not

known or not accepted in mainstream psychology however they are gaining

proponents right and left because they are often so effective and often

quite fast. Besides phobias and other emotional issues they are often quite

effective in helping to relieve and heal physical conditions as well

(through addressing the underlying emotional roots). There are many case

histories on Craig's web site (www.emofree.com) which Ed mentioned

below. I have personally (with myself and others) found these types of

approaches very powerful and effective. I feel that using them in

conjunction with changing the diet and environment to be overall most

effective in helping people heal.

The nice thing about EFT (which was developed based on the earlier therapy

TFT (Thought Field Therapy) developed by Callahan-a psychologist) is

that you don't need to go to a therapist to use it--you can learn it and use

it on your own. At the www.emofree.com website there is a manual you can

download for free. Another website that explains things briefly but well

and has some nice tapping charts is at

http://www.tapintoheaven.com/eft/efthome.html

Another interesting website for this group is Sandi Randomski's Allergy

Antidotes http://www.allergyantidotes.com/ Her work uses EFT and other

clearing techniques to address allergies and sensitivity reactions. Also

Joe Mercola has joined the energy psychology camp and even made his own

videos to teach it. See what he has to say at

http://www.mercola.com/article/eft.htm

It's interesting to watch the cross over happening--some of the energy psych

lists I'm on have taken to talking about food and allergy related problems

and now here we're talking about EFT. I don't want to belabor the point as

this is a bit off topic for this list but wanted to give anyone out there

who hadn't heard of these types of techniques a few resources if interested.

If anyone has any questions I'd be happy to field them back channel.

Now for that glass of kefir I'm craving,
