Why Education as Prevention is The Solution to people’s Health!

I have the privilege to work with few Naturopathic Doctors, chiropractors and others health practitioners – we often mastermind about many topics that would benefits our clients – the exciting part is that we all see solutions to this health care crisis – Because we care, we often write article about this topic or share it during our lectures. Bottom line, Education is an important part of the solution for both side of equation, doctors and patients. Does anyone listen to us?

Education gives CHOICES to individuals, about healthy life-style, exercise, appropriate nutrition; clean environment etc… that support the preventive care so missing. Yet little is done to educate people to be responsible not victim of their health, and how their choices have affected their health and the world at large. This is one of my preferred piece in educating people, teaching them to become Responsible by shifting their mindsets and beliefs systems about Health!

When it comes to understand and treat diseases, doctors are trained to only see what is occurring from the biochemical reaction in the physical. The concept of a “Whole organic human life” with a mind-body-beliefs-environment is often ignored or dismissed because too often misunderstood. Chinese medicine is the closer to grasp that concept, and yet it is often reduced to acupuncture and herbs in the western medical sphere. The idea of “medical specialization” or compartmented approach to healing people by the medical field is not working anymore, let face it! Patients are not seeing as human but as their illness. It will be interesting to re-introduce the idea of a human being as a “whole unique system in relation with the world”.

As Hippocrates once wrote, “The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well.” This is the essence of mind-body medicine. These techniques strive to create awareness of the connection between our conscious and unconscious mind, as well as our emotions, outlook and physical state. They are often used in combination with body-based therapies and address a much-overlooked aspect of healing and prevention.

Mind/body medicine integrates modern scientific medicine, psychology, nutrition, exercise physiology and belief to enhance the natural healing capacities of body and mind. Psycho-immunology is the field of research that studies how thoughts, emotions and beliefs affect human health. What we think and believe the most of create feelings, positive and/or negative, which in turn manifest into actions/behaviors, either reinforcing or not these same beliefs. Adding the food’s choices and we have the recipe for a healthy or a sick physical body. Doctors have lots of examples of placebo and nocebo stories to share – If only they were allowed to speak publicly.

As for me I chose to be part of the Solution ~

Psycho-neuro-immunology

Why are you who we are? why do you feel stuck?

Have you been struggling with feeling unfulfilled, fearful, anxious, angry, stuck, overwhelmed, unfocused, and too often physically sick? You got these great “Tips” on “How to Do” to move you forward and yet these feelings keep coming back impairing your success! Probably emotional “Engram” at cause – Don’t ignore them, they are the why you are NOT moving!

Biological sedimentation is the pilling of layers of events, incidents, traumas, injuries, infections, pain, pathology, anger, fears, shocks… and “Engram” is the other term for an embedded trauma, painful incident or violent event and any negative verbal abuses.

The body stores these layers in its memory bank in the Subconscious affecting current level of health: structural (spine-bones), biochemical (body fluids- cells- organs), mental (neuro-connection-negative self-talk), emotional (negative feelings) and spiritual layer (lack of trust-Disbelief/loss of faith).

These “Engram” mix with negative self-talk, thoughts, feelings and emotions create Neuropetides with receptors in the brain. Dr. Candice Pert* called this process “emotions and mind-body communication”. These Neuro-pathways are reinforced each time similar events occur.
The responsibility of the Ego-mind is to create situation and events that will match-up our needs for our “dominant feeling” in the brain – and to satisfy these receptors with neuropeptides – Each time more and more is demanded! Now you have become “addicted” to your negative emotions!

One of the most common Ego-mind strategy or defense mechanism is “Food Addiction” to suppress negative feelings from the very negative events it has attracted in the first place – Quite complex and self-defeated you might say! Well this is why you can’t do it yourself and should seeck out help from an trained professional in this field of Psycho-neuro-immunology. I offer some of the best modalities, Meridian Therapy – Hypnosis- Neurolinguistic Programming, Energy Medicine and Aromatherapy.

Please join the many people that have found health, joy and balance in their life again from releasing their embedded self-limitation – Call me today!

*Dr. Candace Pert’s over 25 years interest and research into neuropeptide receptors in the brain and later, the immune system provided a biochemical basis for interdependent communication between mind and body and contributed to the emergence of the field of psychoneuroimmunology.
