THE MOST OFTEN-ASKED QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Q.
MY ENERGY REALLY PLUMMETS IN THE WINTER. I GET DEPRESSED AND
TIRED. IS IT THE LACK OF SUNSHINE THAT MAKES ME FEEL THIS WAY?
A.
We are in the midst of deep winter when the Water element rules.
The emotion that relates to Water is fear/shock/panic and this often
sets in when the days get darker. Not everyone has a hard time in
winter. In fact, a lot of people look forward to this time
because it gives them a reprieve from the usual running around,
networking and burning-the-candle-at-both-ends routine.
If
your system doesn’t make enough serotonin (the “feel good” hormone),
then you probably are going to feel sun deprived starting in late
autumn.
Q. HOW CAN I GET MORE SEROTONIN?
A. Serotonin is made in the gut, not the brain. It’s important to
eat enough good protein. The winter is not the time to start
being a vegetarian. A good remedy for serotonin production is an
organic beef broth made from bones. If you have a shortage of
amino acids, your brain is not going to work the way it should. A
number of people take an amino acid supplement such as All Basic
or Mood Factors. Sometimes a glutamine supplement is what a
person needs. An amino acid supplement containing mood boosters
can literally be a life saver although the real cure occurs when the
energetic system is balanced. On the SCIO/QXCI, we have many programs
that can help a person feel good again.
Q. I’M ON AN ANTI DEPRESSANT AND WANT TO GET OFF. HOW
DO
YOU DO THAT?
A. First of all, if you’re on medication, your doctor needs to instruct
on how to wean yourself off . It’s not a good idea to stop
cold turkey. The side effects can be disastrous. The safest
way to get off an anti-depressant is over a period of a
couple of months (again under the supervision of your M.D. who
prescribed the stuff). If you’re taking 20 milligrams of a drug,
try l5 milligrams for several weeks, then move down to l0, then to 5
before stopping. Your best bet is to seek out the services of a
holistic M.D. who KNOWS about amino acids such as SAME, homeopathic
lithium, glutamine, tyrosine, etc. Amino acids can be
administered while one is being weaned off the drug. After one is off
drugs, then a liver detox is a good idea. The QXCI has a great
allopathic drug detox program.
A good resource is to read Priscilla Slagle M.D.’s THE WAY UP FROM DOWN on
her web site www.thewayup.com.
Even though the book is temporaily out of
print, Dr. Slagle has made it available to everyone as an e-book.
There is
basic down-to-earth advice on what to take for depression and for those
of you reading this newsletter who have nowhere else to turn, you owe
it to yourself to read her book. Dr. Slagle herself has suffered
from depression; she is the one who helped me through a dark period of
my life for which I am greatly indebted.
Q. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE CHRONIC FATIGUE BUT I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
AFFORD TREATMENT.
A. I have heard this story so many times and in most cases, the story
is fiction. Look at where you spend your resources. I have
bumped into patients at Nordstrom’s buying frivolous items who have
told me they’re having financial problems. Where did we go awry
in thinking that our physical bodies don’t come FIRST? I have
mothers who are sick who bring me their children who are
suffering. I tell the mothers that in ancient China,
practitioners treated the mother when the child was sick. The
mother owes it to herself to make sure her body mind spirit are
healthy. She is the hearth of the home and without her being in
tip top shape the rest of the family cannot function at peak
performance. The mother is the hub of the familial wheel.
When someone tells me about their financial distress, I see a person
with priority problems. It is a sad situation to see a mother come into
my office for a free
evaluation only to tell me that her husband won’t allow her to spend
any money on her health, that if insurance doesn’t cover it, she’s out
of luck. It is disheartening to see a woman who cannot stand up
to her husband for the sake of the family. Her illness is
her lack of self esteem which scars the body. It's not unusual
for people to become addicted to a less-than-desirable lifestyle.
For years I did a lot of charity work but found the charity cases
were the ones who did not follow through with treatment.
Sometimes we need to ask a relative or friend for a loan.
Sometimes we need to put our creative thinking caps on to come up with
a way to take care of ourselves and then once we’re feeling better, to
make a commitment to put our house in order so there are resources
to keep one’s body mind spirit healthy. At the top of everyone’s list
ought to be resources set aside for energetic medicine. Energetic
medicine cures. Traditional orthodox medicine pushes the illness
further into the body with often fatal results. (Celebrex and Vioxx are
just
two recent examples, not to mention the horrors that often occur due to
complications from surgery.) Traditional medicine has its place,
usually in the Emergency Room. Too many people rely on it for a
quick fix only to discover that this reliance has made them sicker with
even more devastating symptoms to deal with. Most people on drugs don't
realize they are sanctioned “drug
addicts.”
Acupuncturists and holistic practitioners often get people who are
desperate. With the desperation comes the same attitude that they
brought to their physicians. “Fix me and make it quick. I
need to get back to my life.” Frankly speaking, you are the one
who fixes you. We simply point you in a different, better
direction. We don’t do the work or walk your walk for you.
YOU DO THAT. We cannot take your supplements for you. We
cannot take your walks for you. We cannot drink your eight
glasses of water a day for you. We CAN get your system humming
but you gotta remember to put gas and oil in your tank. There
are people who
will spend 2 hours a day pampering their cars or surfing the Web but
who refuse to spend time taking care of their bodies, their temples of
spirit.
Q. WHAT ROLE DO EMOTIONS PLAY IN ILLNESS?
A. Emotions are the key to moving out of dis-ease into harmony. I
encourage everyone to print out the EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE manual
from the Web. Gary Craig has made this tapping meridian protocol
available to everyone and I suggest to all my patients that EFT is the
way to take control of your life. It takes 24 hours for Gary to
make it available free of charge. Working on the EFT technique
daily if not several times daily is part of the protocol I suggest in
my clinic. I also teach EFT to groups.
EFT is a great way to clear an emotion such as anger or fear.
Anger and fear are low-frequency emotions that create magnetic
attractor fields which then attract illness. Underneath
every disease is an emotion holding it there. Dr. Ebert founded
the ATTRACTOR FIELD THERAPY technique (also available for free from the
Web) which is a more complicated tapping system but is intended to
eliminate the field whereas EFT is a much looser way of working with
the symptom on hand.
Q. HOW WAS THE EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE DISCOVERED AND HOW DID
YOU
GET INTO IT?
A. Dr. Roger Callahan discovered Thought Field Therapy years ago in his
psychology practice. He found if he tapped on specific
acupuncture points the person’s problem would disappear. Gary
Craig was a student of Dr. Callahan who eventually decided to branch
out on his own to put a new twist to Dr. Callahan’s technique.
Emotional Freedom Technique is an outgrowth of TFT.
When I was recovering from mercury toxicity, I went to a psychologist
who used tapping techniques. I had dabbled with TFT 20 years ago
but did not dedicate myself to it. Necessity brought me to the
place where I needed help to be able to drive and watch TV and use
electrical appliances again. My psychologist happened to mention
that Dr. Callahan works on the phone with individuals so I called him.
At $600 an hour he counseled me using TFT. Within a short
time I was able to watch TV without freaking out and I started
driving again. I would have liked to have continued working with
Dr. Callahan but I had already “maxed
out”
my credit card.
After I was well enough to work again, I discovered that Gary Craig’s
EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE was available for free just by requesting
it. Had I not been searching the Web (my “Fairy
Godmother”), I may not have heard of EFT. Oftentimes when
something is free we think it has no value.
Q. ATTRACTOR FIELD THERAPY - WHAT’S THE STORY ON THAT?
A. ATTRACTOR FIELD THERAPY (AFT) is an outgrowth of the work of David
Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., author of “Power vs. Force: The Hidden
Determinants of Human Behavior” whose premises is that “We think that
we live by forces we control, but in fact we are governed by power from
unrevealed sources, power over which we have no control.” Dr.
Ebert is the doctor who has brought this system to us free of charge.
By tapping meridian points in a specific formula sequence, AFT is said
to eliminate the cause of a disease. The formula is different for
each illness. Dr. Ebert writes in the introduction to his manual,
“The treatments work if you do them correctly, and ONLY when you do
them correctly. Experience for yourself the gentle Power of AFT
versus the force of science.”
Q. CAN YOU GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF HOW AN ATTRACTOR FIELD WORKS?
A. Let’s take Lyme Disease. According to Dr. Ebert, fear is the
attraction field that needs to be eliminated before the dis-ease
disappears. Guilt is the attraction field for insomnia, for
example.
For those patients who truly cannot afford to pay for acupuncture
or bioresonance treatments, I suggest tryong EFT or AFT.
All it takes is discipline, an open mind, and a sense of adventure.
Q. HOW DOES THE SCIO/QXCI WORK?
A. In our Winter 2002 Newsletter “QXCI Comes to Anne Arundel County,”
(click here or
the Newsletters button above), there is an interview with Colonic
Therapist Christina
Sharp of Severna Park, Maryland which answers a number of questions
about
the SCIO/QXCI. There is no other therapy in the world that can
claim the results that we get with this technology. Most people
who come to see me have one form of fatigue or another. The
results are astounding and symptoms start to disappear quickly although
working on the cause of an illness takes time.
The SCIO/QXCI is a technology based on quantum physics. There is
no separation between living things in this Universe and beyond.
We are all connected to each other and every thing.
Sensitive people know when someone is thinking about them or when a
prayer is directed their way. Many of us can feel when
someone is thinking ill or when someone truly loves us.
Thought is transferred on the scalar wave. The QXCI works on the
same principle.
When we use this technology we are NOT working on a physical
level. We are working solely energetically. We are
correcting energy within the luminous body of an individual. When
energy is corrected THERE, the physical body or container, receives the
adjustment. The body receives its power from the energetic
bodies. The body alone is inert.
Q. HOW LONG DOES A QXCI SESSION TAKE? AND HOW LONG DO THE
RESULTS LAST?
A. I try to run my practice so
people don’t have to wait. I have great respect for another
person’s time.
A
treatment can hold for days or a week. If a person has been ill a
long time, the body is operating at a frequency that is not used to
wellness. When we infuse the frequencies of wellness into their
energetic system, the body responds and says, “Yeah, this feels great”
but may only be able to hold it for a day or two. The more
treatments they receive the more the body is able to maintain that new
frequency of wellness.
Q. I’VE HEARD OF SO MANY PEOPLE GETTING ACUPUNCTURE AND ENERGETIC
MEDICINE BUT THEY HAVEN'T REALLY GOTTEN WELL.
A. Most acupuncturists don’t manage a patient’s case
well. They let them go before they're ready. It's
unrealistic to think that one or two treatments are going to do much
good long term if the person is really sick. Let’s take an
analogy: if you go to a gym to work out once a week, what
happens? Not much. If you go twice a week, do you see much
of a result? Not really. But what occurs if you work out
three times a week? You start to see the muscles toning. You feel
more energetic and vital and you start to look better.
Another reason people don’t make a lot of progress (if any) is that
patients need to be educated -- they need to be shown that in getting
well the ultimate responsibility lies in THEIR hands. They need
to be taught how acupuncture works. They need to know what a
meridian is. They need to grasp what Life Force (chi) is and what
happens when the chi in their bodies isn’t flowing. They need to
be able to explain in their own words what the acupuncturist is doing
TO them and FOR them. In other words, they need to be and feel like
they’re part of a partnership.
Q. IS THERE ANY SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE PREMISE THAT
EMOTIONS CAUSE ILLNESS?
A. First of all, most people who call themselves scientists are really
not scientists. A scientist by definition is one who has
an open mind, who is open to all evidence. For those of you who
have not seen the movie WHAT THE
BLEEP DO WE KNOW, I encourage
you to view it. There are a number of scientists in the movie who
present hard evidence that quantum physics is what is real, that
material reality is just the tip of the iceberg.
QUANTUM HEALING by Deepak
Chopra, M.D. is an easy to read bestseller which shows us that how we
perceive the world is what we become. Another fascinating book, MESSAGES FROM WATER, shows us
how water crystals can change when you simply subject them to different
emotions such as love and hate. Just placing water in a jar and
pasting LOVE and HATE to the jar will change the crystal shape to one
of beauty and perfection (or ugliness and distortion).
In a recent experiment, human placenta DNA (the most pristine form) was
placed in a receptacle in order to measure DNA changes.
Twenty-eight vials of DNA were distributed to 28 trained
researchers. Each had been trained to generate strong
feelings. The DNA actually changed its shape according to the
feelings that were transmitted to the samples.
When the researchers transmitted love, gratitude and appreciation, the
placenta DNA relaxed and became longer. When they felt anger,
frustration, fear or stress, the DNA tightened and shortened.
Individuals who were trained to feel deep love were able to change the
shape of their DNA. We can most definitely influence the web of
creation we live in through our thoughts and through our
vibration.
We have all felt our DNA tighten! Think back to the times when
someone judged you, fairly or unfairly. If you’ve ever been fired
from a job or a relationship, your DNA most certainly did not
lengthen. In fact, some of you have never recovered from this
hit. We need to train ourselves to feel deep love if we are ever
going to de-stress. Remember, stress tightens. Relaxation
lengthens. You actually become physically smaller when you're
under stress.
Q. SO DO YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE GET TREATED FOREVER?
A. There are three types of care: Relief. Corrective.
Maintenance.
Relief care just addresses symptoms and doesn’t get to the core
issue. If only symptoms are addressed, the illness may well
return
especially if it’s chronic.
Corrective care addresses the cause and eliminates the cause so the
dis-ease can become history. Corrective care requires a time and
resource commitment but in the long
run is the most cost effective way of getting healthy.
Maintenance care kicks in after the cause has been eliminated.
How often one is treated after corrective care depends on the person’s
stress level. I, for example, get acupuncture treatments at least once
a week.
Some people do well with monthly maintenance and others five times a
year. Again, it all depends upon each person’s circumstances.
Q. HOW DO I PREPARE TO GET A QXCI TREATMENT?
A. It’s a good idea to drink a glass or two of water beforehand to
prevent dehydration. If a person is dehydrated, the machine will
detect this and we have to stop to give the patient water which eats
into the treatment time. It’s also mandatory that the
patient not wear any scented products, such as after-shave lotion,
perfume, hair spray, or clothing treated with fabric softener.
Wearing comfortable
clothing is important. Energy can’t move as well if you’re
wearing an underwire bra or tight pants.
Q. HOW WILL I FEEL AFTER A TREATMENT?
A. Most people feel energetic, relaxed, light and amazed at the
results.
But there are those, especially if they are in need of rest, who will
feel like they want to go to bed for an hour. It’s hard to
predict how someone will feel afterwards.
Q. HOW WILL I FEEL DURING THE TREATMENT?
A. Patients generally feel calm. Some people feel tingling,
light, heavy or a mixture of the three. There are those who really feel
no difference on the table. Some people experience subtle results
and
some dramatic changes. Chances are if you're
left-brain oriented the sensations are not as pronounced as if you were
an artist or energetic medicine practitioner who is used to being in
touch with the chi. There’s no right or wrong way to feel.
It doesn’t really matter.
Q. WHAT PERCENTAGE OF YOUR PATIENTS SEE LONG TERM RESULTS?
A. Nine out of ten people. The one that gets away is usually the
patient who is noncompliant. They are usually the one who doesn’t
take their supplements, who refuses to exercise or drink water. They
are usually the person who for one reason or another doesn’t want to
get well. I caution all of my patients who are on disability or
thinking about going on disability to ask themselves what would happen
if they were well. What would have to change in their lives?
Being on disability sets in a powerful magnetic attraction field.
It’s not what you say so much, it’s how you live your life. I
suggest that patients on disability receive counseling to determine how
to get out of this state of being. While we can make great headway with
QXCI, there is always that one person in ten who needs extra attention
in the form of counseling. If you, in your heart of hearts, believe you
are “disabled.” then how can you realistically be “able?”
Q. WHAT IF A PERSON IS IN A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP OR JOB? CAN
THEY GET WELL?
A. Aside from moving through the illness process, we work on
redesigning a life. I have patients
who after several months of
treatment got the courage to quit a job they hated. Some patients
have actually gotten out of bad relationships and found more nurturing
ones. I see these type of miracles every week in my
practice. There’s nothing more rewarding than being able to help
a person change their frequency so they can feel their own dignity and
self worth. We often settle for less than we deserve. The
QXCI can reveal what emotions are keeping you stuck in the muck and
between energetic medicine treatments, the patient is given supplements
that are going to enhance their life force. Home work and
exercises will help hold the in-house treatments.
Q. One last question, what is the difference between SCIO and
QXCI? In your last newsletter you spoke only of the QXCI.
Now I see it’s SCIO/QXCI.
A. The SCIO is an update which Dr. Nelson released to the practitioners
in the last year. It’s a more powerful program that allows
us to work much deeper. Although the SCIO was
thousands of dollars in addition to the cost of the QXCI, our fees
remain the same.
The finest compliment you can give us is to refer us to your family and
friends who are local residents. Please send them to us for the same
comfort and attention you
received from us.
