Great Health In Tough Times

Comment on a Patient's Report

Here are some comments on Maria's case history. Her experience with healing is remarkable enough but as you will soon see, it occurred and circumstances which make it surprising. Maria takes care of her large, four generational family, which had been in crisis for months. She raises free range livestock and teaches self sufficiency to people in her area. She is also a medical intuitive and has the potential to become a powerful healer, partly because of their ability to move energy through her hands.

At the time she wrote the account of our work together, she was also moving home and livestock, taking a course for certification in hands-on healing, and being a powerfully nurturing grandmother to the newborn member of the family. In the midst of all that, she responded immediately to my request that she write her account of our work together.

You may be wondering how a medical intuitive with great potential healing power could find herself in such a severe health crisis. People have wondered about that about other healers for a long time. For an example, why did a healer who had brought healing to thousands of people have such severe arthritis that when she stood up her knee joints audibly popped and crackled? The Greeks figured it out long ago. They realized that all healers are wounded. In their mythology, Chiron was a supremely powerful healer. He had sustained a painful wound that could never heal. He could not die because he was part god. He found that the only way he could reduce his pain was by healing others. He eventually found a way out of his excruciating dilemma and I refer you to Greek mythology to discover the surprising way he did that. It seems to disturb many people that healers need healing. It helps to not be disturbed about that by realizing that needing healing goes with the territory. Personally, I think it may be nature's way of keeping healers from getting too egotistical.

There may also be a deeper reason: the wounding may be necessary for the healer's empowerment. Maria once said to me, "She doesn't have the power to do that because she has never seen the worst. I have the power to do that because I have seen the worst." I knew what Maria was talking about because I, too, have seen the worst. I have experienced the worst in terms of everything I trusted and relied on melting away like earth dissolving in water until there was nothing left. It was terrifying and horrifying but when everything was gone I found something deeper that enabled to me to go on. Had it not been for that experience, which I don't believe I will forget even when my body is dying, I would not be dictating this post. The spirit of what Maria and I were talking about is captured to some degree in these lines from Rabindranath Tagore:

I thought that my voyage had come to its end at the last limit of my power--that the path before me was closed, that provisions were exhausted and the time come to take shelter in a silent obscurity.

But I find that thy will knows no end in me. And when old words die out on the tongue, new melodies break forth from the heart; and where the old tracks are lost, new country is revealed with its wonders.

Perhaps Maria's report and these comments will provide enough background for a discussion of what I have found to be the essential components of achieving powerful healing and great health, even in tough times.

A Patient's Report

 Here is a report which illustrates what is now possible when interventions on the biochemical and the electrical system levels are skillfully integrated. I had never seen improvement in health and functioning to this degree prior to the year ago. I have searched for results of this quality and magnitude for over 50 years and I am very grateful to have practiced and lived long and to see it happen. Here's the report.

When I came to see Dr. Woodard in Jan of 08 I was for all practical purposes bed-ridden.  I could get up and cook but I was too exhausted to do anything else.  I had muscle tremors, leg pain, headaches, panic attacks, depression and insomnia.  My OB/GYN wanted to do a complete hysterectomy and had me on two antidepressants, Paxil and amitryptiline. My regular doctor believed I had lupus or fibromyalgia.

In my consultations with Dr. Woodard, we discovered that I had a severe magnesium deficiency, one of the most severe vitamin D deficiencies that he had ever seen, and my adrenal glands were not able to make enough hydrocortisone. We also discovered that I have a kind of hypothyroidism that is undetectable by blood tests. In the first consultation I got an infusion of magnesium, B-Complex, and vitamin C. Within 15 minutes I began feeling better and was able to walk much more easily.

I started on a high potency multiple vitamin-mineral supplement, magnesium by mouth, Armour thyroid, a small, safe dose of hydrocortisone, large doses of vitamin D, and transdermal bioidentical progesterone. I went home and was soon able to resume my normal activities. I discontinued the Paxil and amitryptiline within three months. I stopped having sinus headaches, shooting pains in my head, and insomnia.

Panic attacks continued to be a problem so I began to work on getting better balance in my body's electrical system. First, I used Emergency Trauma Solution, which is an infusion of the electrical patterns of over 100 natural substances into water. I took this by mouth when I felt a panic attack coming on. This gave me more control over panic attacks so that I was able to go to the grocery or out and not panic. Since there were still situations in which I continued to have panic attacks, I learned how to muscle test myself for different flower essences, which more specifically repair damaged circuits in my electrical system. Now I have a combination of essences that I take when I am going on a particularly stressful journey and another set I take if I just happen to feel a panic attack coming on, which is almost never.  

I really don't know how to put all this into words except two say that my whole being has expanded on every possible level.

I expect to be posting a lot about the electrical system balancing interventions, since it was their addition to the biochemical interventions I have learned over a period of 50 years that has produced healing and benefit of this magnitude. I can't imagine this breakthrough coming at a better time, with tough times getting tougher and a flu pandemic on the horizon.

 

In my next post I'll have some comments about this remarkable case history.

High Level Healing: Overview

Before I leave the discussion of the "Big Four" nutritional supplements I I would like to tell you my present opinion about the relative importance of the four for most people. This will vary from individual to individual but for the majority of people the priorities are:

1. Nutrient 950
2. Vitamin D
3. Magnesium
4. Vitamin C

 

The Big Four are like the backfield of a football team. No matter how good the individual players are, if one is missing from the backfield the team will not perform as well and is likely to lose the game.

Having completed the discussion of the Big Four I am about to shift gears and tell you what I think it takes to have your best chance of great health. It will take more than the Big Four and all the other biochemical interventions that you need. For most people it will require good work on the biochemical level, where the Big Four and all other nutritional supplement interventions operate. It is also likely to require good work on the level of the body's electrical system. I have known about and been fascinated by the body's electrical system for 25 years, but it has only been in the past year and a half that I have discovered how to work with the electrical system to bring it into better balance. In this past year I have seen patients achieve healing quicker and more completely than in the other 50 years of my medical practice. I have also experienced this in my own health.

The next part of this blog will tell you something about the body's electrical system, why it is essential for great health, and how you can work with it to bring it into better balance. I'll also be talking about how to integrate the interventions on the electrical and the biochemical levels simultaneously. Before I do, I will present a case history that illustrates what is possible with this integrative approach to achieving great health. Unless you have some idea of the benefit potential in this approach you might be likely to say, "That's too much trouble" and forget about it, thus losing a vitally important opportunity.

 Watch for the case history!

Phoenix Mission Launch

Phoenix Mission Launch

We now begin the process of testing the hypothesis that healing beyond what is considered medically possible can actually be achieved.

To have the maximum probability of proving the hypothesis I believe that the testing process must be co-creative. By that I mean that each person involved in the process must have input into creating the process. As I posted before, this is not something I can write up for others to use and follow. I don't know how to do that. Neither does anyone else. But if we meet and work in a spirit of teamwork and co-operation, each one putting in what he or she has, we will develop a process and infuse it with an energy that will support and probably be essential for the kind of healing we intend.

In practical terms, I will describe some healing interventions. I suggest that each participant in the Mission

consider each intervention from the following perspectives:

• Does this feel like something I'd like to try?
• What aspects of this intervention are not clear to me?
• If I decide to use this intervention how would I go about it?
• What questions do I need to ask to get the information to make an informed decision?
• Do I commit to trying this intervention?

I suggest that you try the above process on the two interventions I have already described, the vitamin C and vitamin D protocols.

As you go through the process I encourage you to post your questions and comments on the blog. I will respond and would like for the other participants in the Mission to put in whatever comes up for them. In this way I believe we can develop a group consciousness that will enable us to access and develop a far more powerful process than any one of us could create alone.

This raises the question, how is the participant in the Mission different from the one reading the blog who is interested in trying a particular intervention? I think the main difference is a difference of intent. Intent is very powerful if one holds it steadily. If one holds the intent to discover whether healing beyond what is considered medically possible is achievable, that person is far more likely to actually achieve that healing than is one whose intent is to try a particular intervention to see if it will help. I know from long clinical experience that many of the interventions I will be describing are often very beneficial for many people. The only way to find out is to try. People reading the blog and trying to the interventions can give and receive great help by posting their comments. Their participation is strongly encouraged.

In the next blog I will say the bit about designing and refining the way we work with together on the Mission

and also give you another intervention to consider.

Phoenix Mission: Aquarian, Real Time

Phoenix

Mission: Aquarian, Real Time

 Since my most recent post something has happened as a result of my responding to a blog comment that illustrates, real-time, what I was writing about regarding the Aquarian dynamic. The author of the comment has been waiting, fairly patiently, for me to start describing what to DO to improve health. I've kept droning on about HOW to do.

What became clear to me as a result of this interaction is that for highest level healing, the HOW is as important as the WHAT.  We could do an intervention in the Piscean dynamic and it would not work. If we did exactly the same intervention in the Aquarian dynamic it could work. Here's an analogy: You could have a full tank of gas in your car and the car won't start. Your car runs on gas but more than gas is required for the car to run. There also has to be a spark at the right time in the right place to ignite the gas and release its energy into moving the car. The procedure to improve your health is like the gas in the tank. The Aquarian interaction (mutual respect, teamwork and cooperation) is like the spark that ignites the fuel and releases the energy to accomplish the healing. This principle is vital not just to the success of the Phoenix Mission but also to the optimum result from using any of the interventions I really intend to get around to writing about, and to everything else I can think of, including saving the viability of the planet.

Had my reader not posted her comments and had I not replied I would not have this key piece of clarity that I need to fulfill my responsibility in this blog and the Phoenix Mission.

The Mission is close to launch. Two people have signed on. One more and it’s go. I expect to be posting more about that in the next blog.

A couple of comments about joining the Mission: If you join it’s not like enlisting for two years. You can stop any time you decide it's not worth the effort. Nor are you committing to doing every intervention I will describe. Nobody could. You select the ones that your intellect and your intuition tell you are likely to be useful to you.I intend to be available to participate with you in the Aquarian process for those interventions about which you have questions as well as those which you have chosen to use.

Update on my spine: In the last two weeks I have discovered that my neck has regained enough flexibility so that when I'm driving and changing lanes I can look back through the rear side windows to check the blind spots. I had not been able to do this for several years. I had not expected this improvement in flexibility but I am always open to pleasant surprises.

Phoenix Mission, Part Two

Phoenix  Mission, Part Two

In the previous blog I told you about the first of two experiences that have encouraged me to believe that healing beyond what is considered possible in conventional medicine may actually be possible without a miracle.

Here's the second experience. Beginning in the late' 70s I began to have to get up at night to go to the bathroom. Soon, it was twice. In those days I was attending Zen retreats. I remember getting special sleeping accommodations so I would be close to a bathroom. I was concerned about what was going on and began to take the best prostate support supplements I could find. I chose not to use any of the usual drugs for urinary frequency, believing that they only masked symptoms and did not address the cause.

The urinary frequency gradually increased until in the latter part of 2008 I was getting up four or five times per night. This was clearly unsatisfactory and I was seriously concerned that I might have to have surgery. Remembering my experience with my spine, I decided to take the same approach to improving the health of my prostate.  I continued the supplements I was using and added interventions for my electrical system. Within about three weeks the frequency of my bathroom trips was down from four or five to three or four. About another month and it was two or three, which it is now, so long as I manage my stress skillfully. My intent is to reduce it to only once.

Again, this is medically not supposed to happen. I have never heard of its happening before. I didn't change any of the nutritional supplements I was taking. I just added the energy system work. My assumption is it took both the nutritional supplements and the interventions on the energy level to achieve this improvement. I can tell you that the improvement in the quality of my sleep and the quality of my life is very welcome.

So now you know the two experiences that have emboldened to me to propose the Phoenix Mission. In the next blog I will begin to describe what the Mission might look like.

Phoenix Mission, Anyone?

Phoenix Mission, Anyone?

 

 

After several blogs on vitamins C. and D. we will now consider a different aspect of achieving great health in tough times. I had not intended to do this until much later in this series but since so many patients and one blog participant have asked about it I have decided to do it now. I wish to see if there are enough people reading this blog who are interested in testing the hypothesis that healing generally considered medically impossible is, in fact, possible after all.  If there are, we may be able to test the hypothesis together. If that happens, I think we'll call it the Phoenix Mission.

 

If we prove the hypothesis I cannot think of a more powerful part of the process of decreasing one's dependence upon the increasingly problematic disease treatment system. Nor can I imagine a more powerful way to achieve great health in tough times.

 

In the past year I have had two experiences that have led me to create the hypothesis that there is the possibility of "impossible" healing. The first had to do with my spine. I have a birth defect in my lumbar spine. In the early 80s I had a neck injury in a motor vehicle accident. The combination caused a gradual deterioration in my spine until in the late '90s I could no longer split firewood (one of my favorite hobbies) and was having pain, numbness, tingling, and stiffness in my neck, left shoulder, and arm. I did not and do not know of any effective medical treatment and I didn't think there was enough chance of success with surgery that I was interested in pursuing it. I resigned myself to living with my disability and its worsening over time.

 

Then, about two years ago, Sara, my daughter in law, introduced me to a healing system that accesses the body's electrical system. I had been interested in the body's electrical system for years but never found a way to work directly with it. I began to work directly with it using some very interesting techniques, which I will describe in subsequent blogs.  Gradually, the pain, numbness, tingling, and stiffness went away. I could hardly believe it. Something medically impossible was happening! I've practiced medicine for over 50 years; when I experience something medically impossible, I take notice. After several months I decided that I would cautiously try splitting wood again. I found that I could do it, not all day as in the past, but I can again swing a splitting maul.

 

The second experience was as amazing as the first and even more important to me. I'll tell you about that in the next blog.
