Holistic therapies
are therapies that consider the living
being as a whole from the single cell to the most complex
and highly specialized systems it entails, such as the
cardiovascular, nervous, digestive and respiratory systems.
While
allopathic medicine is linked to the treatment of specific diseases
or dysfunctional organs with drugs, those very drugs intended to
heal may possess very harmful side effects.
On the other
hand, holistic therapies address the "mind-body" as a whole, through
different techniques transmitted mostly through ancient oriental
medicines.
The motto governing
western medicine is "Primum
non nocere" (First, do no harm) is
far from being the rule and there have been a lot of dramas
engendered by the introduction of new pharmaceutical drugs on the
market. Have you heard about Thalidomide? When prescribed to
pregnant women they delivered abnormal babies with body
malformations. There is a major
risk of sudden death for people under psychotropic medication due to
a lengthening of the QT interval, ventricular arrhytmia and the
existence of torsades de pointe on their ECG. Such people’s mortality rate due to sudden death or for
cardio-vascular reasons is far higher than that of the global
population.
Do you know that 50% of patients
treated with antidepressants (especially SSRI selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitors like Prozac(fluoxetine), Paxil (paroxetine),
Lexapro (citalopram), Luvox (fluvoxamine) present important sexual
problems? (Rotschild A.J Clin.
Ther. 2000, 22, Am. J. Psychiatry 1995, Oct.)
Dangerous side
effects of holistic medicine have yet to be proven.
At the International Institute for Self-help
Holistic Therapies
we use the knowledge transmitted by ancient
oriental doctors about "shakras", "energy meridians"
and acupuncture points combined with
Doctor Roger Callahan's
discoveries concerning perturbations in the "Thoughfield"
linked to the energy meridians and shakras. We
establish the sequential code of acupuncture points that the subject
has to tap in order to erase those perturbations and remove the
perturbations in his thought fields
through proper activation of his
energy pathways.
All data
gathered through monitoring of
HRV
demonstrate that
TFT
has a direct action on the
ANS (autonomic
nervous system)
and
corrects its imbalance. It is because of this action on the
ANS
that
TFT
is effective so quickly - on the whole of the “mind-body” through
the rebalancing of the major apparels.
(Atrial flutter,
gastro-intestinal pains and spasms, migraines and muscular tensions
are the first to go.)
We also use
(neurolinguistic programming)
NLP's procedures
to control and repair the damage done to the mind-body. Those
procedures are based on the use of language, imagery and kinesthetic
feelings to overcome dysfunction and allow the mind-body to heal.
Many people
reject holistic medicine on the grounds that nothing can prove the
relationship between the cause, the patient's intervention on his
own energy system, and his healing. They even go so far as to say
that those energy meridians do not exist.
We like to
quote here the experiment of French Professor of Medicine
Dr de Vernejoul:
he injected the
radioactive element "Technetium" at a meridian point. On the
radiographies taken one could see that the injected product was
distributed throughout the whole body on lines corresponding to the
energy meridians, while another injection made outside the meridians
showed the Technetium staying concentrated in a cluster at the
injection point.
Now cutting edge C-Fos
antigenic reaction can precisely show the production and
localization of endorphins released in the brain following
stimulation of acupuncture points.
Another way to
render objective the benefits of
TFT Techniques
is to measure the Heart Rate Variability
before and after treatment.
