A look at alternatives
Jan 8th, 2010 by admin
I would like to share a story with you that I recall from an article presented as an accounting from an urologist working at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in California.
“A bright perky 21 year old woman arrived at the doctor’s office complaining of sever bladder pain. She had to urinate frequently and urgently. A complete medical workup was done and nothing could be found out of the ordinary—by the standards of the medical profession there was nothing wrong with this young woman. The doctor then looked at her bladder with a cyst scope and found everything to be normal. The doctor then proceeded to ask the young lady, ‘Sometimes women with your symptoms have a history of sexual abuse and molestation— is this possible with you?’ In the corner of her eye the slightest tear welled up. It turns out that the young lady had been sexually penetrated by an uncle almost daily from the age of three, till she was ten years old.
The doctor proceeded to ask her to think back upon these memories and find a part of her body where the memories were strongest. She stated she could feel them acutely in her lower abdomen and pelvis. She was then asked to rate them on a scale of 1-10; one being the mildest and ten being the most intense. The young lady proceeded to rate her feelings and memories at a 10 out of a possible 10. This particular doctor proceeded to spend 45 minutes working with the woman, using some simple yet powerful emotional release techniques. The doctor then urged her to cast around in her body for the remnants of any of the disturbed feelings she had previously felt. She could not find them, no matter how hard she tried. The emotionally charged memories had been so thoroughly released that a physical shift had occurred in her body. Her bladder condition disappeared. In the three years since that initial doctor’s office visit it has never once returned.”
We have all heard similar stories of physical healing brought about by non-physical means. Yet I notice on the web another Kaiser Doctor wrote that he doesn’t work with alternative methods because they are “alternative” to what is tested and works. We could likewise play on the words and ask why they call his work a practice. So silly, we know that what gets tested is what gets funded. Testing is expensive, so expensive that they didn’t wish to test the swine flu vaccine they were offering.
There are exceptions to this rule. Science does discover new concepts that have research behind it. Look at “The Biology of Belief” by Bruce Lipton and his findings with DNA. A few years back DNA and genes were the new answer from research for everything. Today we realize that there are not enough genes to provide a blueprint for a complex organism like a human being. Good news, science will continue to look for an alternative concept and that is called progress.
