Energy Medicine

Hello Mike,

I came across your site while I was searching for some help with my health. I have been out of work for sometime and lost my medical insurance so I was thinking to do whatever I could to insure I don’t get sick.

I have gone over quite a bit of your site and I appreciate all the work you must have done to put this all together. I know you are in the business of selling the alkaline water machines and I would like to buy one when I can afford one but for now I will have to do the best I can with what I got.

I thought that you might be interested in the site and article on Energy Medicine that I came across in my search. It has a lot to do with your information on the Biofield and Bio-Harmonies. It amazes me that most of this information comes from back in the 1930’s. Where has it been all of this time?

It would seem to me that someone has been suppressing this information that could help people with their health but why would someone want to do that? I have been using some of this information on Energy Medicine that I got from this site and it really seems to help me out a lot. So I would imagine that the Energy Frequency Technology that you have in the new alkaline water machines would really be an asset to your health.

I look forward to learning more about this new technology and can’t wait until I am able to afford one them for my own use. I have attached the article and site below and I hope you find this information useful and I will pass along any other information that you might find helpful.

Thank you,
Donna M.

Six Pillars of Energy Medicine
Clinical Strengths of a Complementary Paradigm
David Feinstein, Ph.D., and Donna Eden

ABSTRACT
The current status of energy medicine and its increasing challenge to the biochemical paradigm that has dominated conventional medicine are reviewed. While energy medicine represents only a small fraction of one percent of the 2.2 trillion dollar health care industry, six properties of energy medicine give it strengths that could augment conventional health care models. These include the ways energy medicine 1) can address biological processes at their energetic foundations (reach), 2) regulates biological processes with precision, speed, and flexibility (efficiency), 3) fosters healing and prevents illness with interventions that can be readily, economically, and non-invasively applied (practicality), 4) includes methods that can be utilized on an at-home, self-help basis, fostering a stronger patient and practitioner partnership in the healing process (patient empowerment), 5) adopts non-linear concepts consistent with distant healing, the healing impact of prayer, and the role of intention in healing (quantum compatibility), and 6) strengthens the integration of body, mind, and spirit, leading not only to a focus on healing, but to achieving greater well-being, peace, and passion for life (holistic orientation).

We are now in the process of revising the past century’s biochemical concept, under which all major life processes are chemical in nature, to one that proposes that such processes are electromagnetic in nature.

While energy medicine2,3 is still a microdot on the health care landscape in terms of utilization, public recognition, and the economic resources allocated to its development, Norman Shealy, M.D., the founding president of the American Holistic Medical Association, has predicted based on striking clinical and emerging scientific findings that "energy medicine is the future of medicine."4 Energy medicine is based on the supposition that illness results from disturbances in the body’s energies and energy fields5 and can be addressed via interventions into those energies and energy fields. It is one of five domains of "complementary and alternative medicine" identified by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), with others including biologically based practices (such as the ingestion of herbs, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids), manipulative and body-based practices (such as chiropractic, osteopathy, massage, rolfing, and reflexology), and mind-body medicine (such as hypnosis, visual imagery, meditation, and biofeedback).6 NIH also recognizes "whole medical systems," which may incorporate elements of the above, such as traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, naturopathy, homeopathy, and various indigenous healing traditions.
Strategies for restoring and maintaining the health of the body’s energies by stimulating specific "energy points" have been passed along the generations in China and other parts of the world for at least 5000 years. A body that had been mummified in a snow-bound mountainous region along the border between Austria and Italy around 3000 B.C. had tattoos on exactly the points that are indicated in traditional Chinese medicine for treating the kind of lumbar spine arthritis revealed by an x-ray analysis of the body (9 of the 15 markings were along a meridian or energy pathway that is used in treating back pain, including one on the precise point that is considered the "master point" for back pain). Forensic analysis also revealed that the body's intestines had been rife with whipworm eggs, and indeed, some of the other markings were on points that are traditionally used for treating stomach upset.7 Similar tattoos have been found on mummified bodies in other regions, ranging from South America to Siberia.
As contemporary clinical experience and scientific investigation lend increasing credibility to the concepts and procedures used in energy medicine, while at the same time public discontent with and concern about the dangers and costs of conventional medicine grow at a discomfiting rate,8 six areas are emerging where energy medicine might augment and in some ways supersede conventional medical practices. After examining the fundamental natural mechanism underlying energy medicine—the decisive impact of the body’s energies and "organizing fields" on gene expression and cell activity—these six areas are outlined and discussed.
