Yet another quack therapy...

[Guest guest]

To All Members:

This quote describes to a tee the type of people who subject their

kids to quack therapy:

" Mrs McGarvie, from Lasswade, said: " is only in school the

equivalent of one day every week and things are just getting worse.

All I'm doing is sitting and waiting for his referral going into the

hospital (for Asperger's Syndrome tests] and soon there's going to

be no time left to help him. So I'll give this a go. What else can I

do? I think it might be good for him. "

If you see yourself in this quote, take notice. You look just as

foolish as this woman does, and foolish is what people think of you.

Let me try to cure the city's troubled young tearaways

TWO teenage tearaways are set to receive help from a former teacher

who treats emotional problems using his unique " tapping " therapy.

Last month, the Evening News revealed 13-year-olds McGarvie

and had clocked up 17 school exclusions between them.

Now Alan Morison is offering the youngsters a free course of his

Emotional Freedom Therapy, which has already helped people stop

smoking, recover from post-traumatic stress and deal with phobias.

The mothers of both boys today welcomed his offer and said they are

willing to try anything to stop the anguish their sons' behaviour is

causing.

Mr Morison, 58, an ex-French and German teacher from Barnton, says

EFT can cure people's personal & #8211; and physical & #8211; problems. The

therapy works by tapping key acupuncture points on the patient's

face, collarbone and underarm while focusing on the issues bothering

them.

Most see a difference after just one session, although some problems

can take longer to cure. He said: " Emotional disturbances, and even

some illnesses, are a disruption in the body's energy system. When

you physically tap on acupuncture points, it reestablishes the flow

and that in turn miraculously balances emotions.

" EFT is likely to help these boys, although I can't guarantee it. I

think it would be wonderful to have this within our education system

so that kids like these boys can go and get help for their problems

in school.

" It may be upsetting the apple cart, but if a counsellor doesn't

achieve the necessary results, then why not give this a go?

" Kerry McGarvie, whose son has been excluded from Lasswade

High School ten times in just over a year, said she has already

considered sending him to a hypnotherapist and was willing to give

EFT a go.

Mrs McGarvie, from Lasswade, said: " is only in school the

equivalent of one day every week and things are just getting worse.

All I'm doing is sitting and waiting for his referral going into the

hospital (for Asperger's Syndrome tests] and soon there's going to

be no time left to help him. So I'll give this a go. What else can I

do? I think it might be good for him. "

Gayle 's son, , is now back at Dalkeith High School

part-time after being excluded seven times. The teenager is on the

NHS waiting list after a child psychologist diagnosed him with

suspected ADHD. Mrs , from Danderhall, feels she has exhausted

all other options and is willing to give EFT a go.

She said: " I think anything is worth a try if there's a chance that

it could work. Because it's not tablet-based, it could be quite good

for him. "

TAPPING INTO THE BODY'S FORCE FOR GOOD

EFT is based around the ancient belief that there are 12 major

pathways of energy flowing through the body, known as the meridian

system or the pathways of chi.

EFT therapists believe negative experiences and emotions can disrupt

that energy system.

Tapping energy points on the body's meridian system & #8211; on the face,

collarbone and underarm & #8211; while focusing on or talking about the

negative event or issue removes the negative patterns.

This in turn balances the body's systems and harmony is

re-established.

As a result, negative emotions and even physical pain can diminish

and fade very quickly.
