New This Issue

Welcome to another issue of The Health Plus Letter. This week I’m sharing my recent experience learning about a powerful self-care healing tool called the Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT. Based on my experience, I’m convinced that it is one of the most exceptional healing innovations around, and one that has applications for just about anything that you can imagine. When you read my article below you’ll find out why.

Also in this issue is a no-holds-barred article on the dangers of the psychiatric profession written by Dr. C. Norman Shealy. If you haven’t visited Norm’s website yet, I highly recommend that you do so (the link to it follows his article).

As always, please continue to send me your comments and suggestions. And please spread the word about The Health Plus Letter by passing it along to your friends and inviting them to subscribe.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

A few weeks ago I had the good fortune of attending an introductory workshop on Emotional Freedom Technique, more commonly known as EFT. I have been aware of EFT for years, but until then I had not pursued looking into it. Based on what I learned, I regret that I took so long.

Without getting into too much detail, EFT is part of a growing field of energy medicine known as energy psychology, a topic I wrote about in my book Health on the Edge, which includes an interview with Dr. Fred Gallo, a pioneer in the field. What differentiates EFT from many of the other valuable methods of energy psychology is the fact that it is so easy to learn and, thanks to its developer, Gary Craig, it is something that anyone can quickly begin using on their own. Additionally, unlike other forms of energy psychology, which primary work for resolving emotional issues and phobias, EFT can be used to address just about any issue a person might be having, including with their physical health. And though Craig makes no health claims about EFT, on his website you can find many firsthand testimonials by people who have used to it resolve a wide range of physical health conditions. Based on my own experiences since I started using EFT for myself, I have no doubt that the testimonials are indeed true.

So far, I have only learned what is known as the Basic Technique, something that anyone can quickly master within a few minutes. This alone has resulted in a variety of near-instantaneous positive experiences for me, beginning at the workshop itself. As it started, our instructor asked us to think of an issue we wanted to work on that day and to rate it on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being really bad and 1 being very mild. I didn’t have any real issues that warranted my attention, so I decided to choose the fatigue I was experiencing, given that I had only had a few hours sleep the night before and had driven nearly an hour to the workshop after skipping breakfast and lunch. I was pretty much dragging, so I rated my fatigue as a 7.

We were then shown how to perform the Basic Technique, which took all of two minutes, if that. Then we each used it to address our chosen issue. The result I achieved astonished me. Even before I finished performing the technique, I experienced a flood of energy coming into my body. Simultaneously, I also was swept up in a wave of joy. Even more impressive, these gains stayed with me throughout the rest of the day. And they were so easy to achieve!

Since that time, I have used this simple EFDT technique on numerous occasions, quickly and easily banishing indigestion, emotional upsets, an anger issue, and other things. As a result, I intend to learn the rest of the EFT protocols, which anyone can discover by using a series of instructional DVDs that Gary Craig created for that purpose.

Based on my experience, I encourage you to explore EFT too. To get started, go to Craig’s website – www.emofree.com. There you can download a free manual that will teach you the Basic Technique and a lot of other valuable information. (There are many other websites about EFT as well, and many of them are also valuable, yet I find Gary Craig’s site to be the best that I’ve reviewed so far.) As you start to use EFT in your own life, please email me your experiences. This is a topic that I will certainly be returning to in future editions of The Health Plus Letter.

Psychiatry: An Industry Of Death (And A Current Crowd Delusion) by C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D.

I was recently interviewed for a documentary on the sins of the PharmacoMafia and shortly thereafter received a DVD and supplement with the above title in caps from the producers, The Citizens Commission for Human Rights, www.cchr.org . Thomas Szasz, one of my heroes, is one of the founders of this organization. Szasz is one of the exceptions in the fields of psychiatry although there are obviously others. Unfortunately, the psychiatry establishment as a whole is not that different from what I experienced in medical school. Indeed, the worst course of my entire undergraduate and medical school curriculum at Duke University was psychiatry. On the final exam I answered the most stupid question - list 5 characteristics of a good psychiatrist - with Crazy as Hell 5 times! The chairman later said to our class: “There are some people who do not like people; they should stay and teach!”

The DVD includes interviews with over 150 health professionals, attorneys, educators and other experts with historical and modern-day footage of psychiatry’s barbaric treatments, as well as interviews with victims of psychiatry’s brutalities ranging from electroshock therapy as well as commitment, political torture, psychosurgery and the devastating effects of psychotropic drugs.

The Puritans drowned those who did not follow their rigid concepts of normal behavior. No less a notable than Benjamin Rush taught bloodletting, brutal restraints, blistering of body parts, partial drowning and shock treatment of dropping “mental” patients into ice baths. That was the standard of the 1700s to late 1800s.The English psychologist Francis Galton in 1883 introduced the concept of Eugenics, funded by America’s wealthiest families and leading to forced sterilization of “criminals, lunatics and idiots.” Ernst Rudin and Alfred Ploets, German psychiatrists, became leading proponents of purging society of unfit stock. Alfred Hoche, German psychiatrist, formed the ideological underpinnings of Hitler’s justification for the holocaust. Concomitant with this, American psychiatrist Walter Freeman initiated the brutal ice pick frontal lobotomy, a procedure slightly refined but still done at the Massachusetts General Hospital during my neurosurgery residence 1958-63, even for chronic pain. And during my medical school training psychiatric patients were subjected to almost equally brutal insulin and electric shock therapy.

British psychiatrist J.R. Rees in 1940 began the push for government control of “mental health.” And G. Brock Chisholm pushed the elimination of morality. In 1952, in order to encourage medical insurance coverage of mental disorders, American psychiatrists compiled a large list of behavioral disorders, the list of which grows each decade. In 1954, Thorazine became the anti-psychotic drug of choice, followed by numerous other chemical lobotomy drugs that never cure but sometimes “control” psychotics. Shortly after that, antidepressant drugs became the darling of psychiatrists and many general physicians. By 1987, Prozac became the King of antidepressants, only to be replaced by a score of other equally minimally effective drugs - the best are 42% effective with a 25% complication rate. Indeed, I have seen thousands of depressed patients still taking one to 4 antidepressant drugs, with no relief! Today antidepressants are the second leading category of drug prescribed! Of course, statins, at least as harmful as most antidepressants, are the top dog.

Meanwhile, psychiatry went through the ridiculous Freudian psychoanalysis phase and a few offshoots, not one of which was ever proven to be scientifically effective! While it is true that behavioral and humanistic approaches appear to be useful and usually non-damaging, the vast majority of modern psychiatrists use only drug after drug with little or no true therapy. Now they have invaded our schools and homes with flagrant promotion of Ritalin and antidepressants for up to one-third of children! The elimination of morality by early psychiatrists has led to a significant moral dilemma! Of all the medical specialists, those with the least spiritual foundation seem to be psychiatry and oncology (but that is another story). A vast majority of individuals with behavioral and “mental” disorders have a spiritual existential crisis. The treatment that will be of the greatest benefit is spiritual counseling or direction. For depression, see also Anxiety, Depression and Joy as well as Depression: The World’s Best Treatment Program. [Note: Available on Dr. Shealy’s website – LT]

We humans seem addicted to spells of madness. Certainly the current Drug Madness is one of the all-time great EXTRAORDINARY POPULAR DELUSIONS and THE MADNESS OF CROWDS! Incidentally that wonderful book is worth a read.

Book
The Scalpel and the Soul by Allan J. Hamilton, MD. This newly released book is a wonderful read, providing a roadmap to where modern medicine needs to go if it is to truly serve our needs – the realm of Spirit in God. Dr. Hamilton is a Harvard trained neurosurgeon with more than 30 years of medical experience. During that time, as he personally attended to patients with life-threatening illnesses in need of surgery, he personally witnessed numerous patients having experiences that modern science not only cannot explain, but all too often rejects out of hand as being impossible. Among the experiences that Dr. Hamilton writes about in a style that I found really communicates with the reader are those of a young burn victim who remained in a coma until being visited by a ghost, a woman who was pronounced clinically dead who was later able accurately recount detailed information that were shared by her surgeon and nurses as they operated on her while she was unconscious and, for a time, clinically dead, and a physician who required the help of a Navajo shaman in order to free himself from the spirit of one of his dead patients.

For me, what makes this book so compelling is how well Dr. Hamilton documents the importance that one’s spirituality has for surviving from life-threatening illnesses and dangerous surgical procedures. In the process, he not only validates the existence of our spiritual nature, but also shows how and why our beliefs, hopes, and even superstitions are so important to our survival. Were more doctors to embrace spirituality and the existence of the many things that science has no answers for, I’m convinced that our health care system would radically change for the better. I highly recommend The Scalpel and the Soulto all people - patients and physicians alike – who are ready to explore the possibilities inherent to our multidimensional nature.

Websites
http://www.naturalhealthvillage.com - I encourage my readers to read the latest articles that you will find on this website by noted health journalist Peter Barry Chowka, beginning with his most recent piece, The Study of Alternative Medicine Is Almost Extinct, which makes clear that the lip service attention given to viable and primary healing systems by researchers is little more than lip service. I fully agree with Chowka’s assertion that terms such as CAM and integrative medicine are in fact smokescreens behind which those who control our health care system seek to co-opt or completely shunt aside the most valuable alternative therapies because of the threat they pose to the status quo. As Chowka also makes clear, this is especially true for alternative cancer treatments.

http://www.cancermonthly.com - This site and its founders are cited in Chowka’s article above, and that’s how I discovered it. After spending time on it this week, I recommend it for anyone interested on obtaining useful information about cancer and cancer care.

http://tinyurl.com/38xmp5 - Given that it’s the start of baseball season, I have to mention this link, where you can read the fascinating account of Sidd Finch from the archives of Sports Illustrated. What’s so fascinating about Finch? Well, for starters, he had a fastball clocked at 168 mph. (Goose Gossage and Nolan Ryan at their best were usually clocked at 103 mph.) And he attributed his skill to the time he spent studying with Tibetan monks. It’s great story.
