DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to Dr. Devi Nambudripad, M.D. It was her wisdom about healing that enabled me to fully heal. She should be recognized for her contribution to the healing arts. Her bravery and generosity in sharing her healing technique (NAET) has allowed many people to heal beyond all odds.

I would also like to pay tribute to Dr. Hulda Regehr Clark, Ph.D., N.D. (October 18, 1928 - September 3, 2009). She was a great pioneer in her field of research to find the causes and cures for chronic disease. Her courage and knowledge helped many people to truly heal.

I admire all doctors who have been brave enough to step outside the Western conventional box of medicine and seek the TRUE cause of disease, and to treat chronic disease in more natural ways. All of them are my heroes, especially those doctors who have risked malice from their peers, the American Medical Association and the Federal Drug Administration. I am also grateful to all doctors for their expertise in emergency and trauma treatment.

Thank you!

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

This book should be read in its entirety many times. It is very comprehensive and detailed in order to give you a complete understanding about the cause of chronic disease and about True healing. You can use Appendix L (putting it all together) as a quick reference guide to simplify your healing program in between readings.

Repetition is purposely used to help the reader remember main key points. Great care was taken to write in a universal way and to explain facts in many different ways for further clarification, and to help prevent the reader from getting stuck on wording. Everyone has different beliefs. Please don’t let certain words prevent you from using this opportunity to gain understanding about such an important topic as healing. Everyone deserves to receive the gift of healing, regardless of race, religion or beliefs. Make sure to review the interchangeable words list on the next page. I have interchanged these words throughout the book to make it more universal. Simply do the same to fit your belief system and to help you best understand all the information presented. Some words just make more sense to different people; other words better fit their beliefs. So adjust the wording accordingly, because healing is for everyone.

For those who really want to pursue True healing, everything that you need to know is in this book. For those people who take the time to fully absorb the information presented and then take the necessary action, healing (any dis-ease) is possible beyond all odds.

INTRODUCTION

Disease is prevalent in our society. Many named diseases exist, with heart disease leading the pack as the number one cause of death. There is much confusion, even among health professionals, as to the cause of most chronic disease. This confusion has led many people to a state of helplessness; they feel helpless and hopeless about any chance to recover. Western medicine contributes to this confusion and hopelessness by suppressing alternative (True healing) methods and by negating the importance of emotional healing and the mind-body connection.

With the seeming success modern medicine has had in the past with infectious disease, many have developed a lot of faith in doctors to be able to cure all. Some people say our society is healthier and living longer than ever before. Although we may be living longer, it is obvious that our society is NOT healthier. I believe infectious disease has adapted into a disease with a much s-l-o-w-e-r death — we now call it chronic disease with many various names!

In the West, teaching personal responsibility and knowledge about True healing has not been a widespread tradition. Lack of knowledge, fear, erroneous beliefs and suppression of the truth, has kept us from learning about True healing methods. Thus, for the most part, we have become conditioned to give our healing power away to modern medicine. This conditioning has created a dependence on doctors to heal us. However, Western medicine only offers medication or surgery, both of which mainly treat only the symptoms of disease.

Hence, our conditioning and ignorance about True healing have crippled our society into dependence upon a health care system of disease maintenance. Instead, we should (have) become responsible self-healers. Many people who have put all their faith in modern medicine have become victims of chronic disease. Although much progress has been made toward awareness about self-healing, many people still do not understand or believe that they really can heal without medicine. In fact, we must first understand that healing has nothing to do with Western medicine. The True healing mechanism is innate within every soul!

The purpose for writing this book is to help educate people about True healing and how they can begin taking this awesome responsibility of evolution. Personal responsibility is crucial in order for True healing to take place. But first, people need to discover their roles as co-creators of their own destinies. Healing is an inside journey, but many people are still waiting for someone else or for modern medicine to fix them. This waiting will only greatly delay the healing process.

Not all doctors are unaware of True healing methods. However, some doctors who use (or would like to use) alternative healing methods may fear scrutiny by the AMA, fear being laughed at by their peers, or being run out of business by the FDA. These fears have fostered and continued our lack of awareness about True healing. It is sad that we do not yet have a more universal health care system conducive to natural healing that fully supports our efforts to heal.

Our health care system is totally backwards when it comes to treating chronic disease. All alternative methods of healing should be of primary use and should not be referred to as alternative. Conventional medicine should be considered alternative and used only as a last resort when it comes to chronic disease. If this happened, we would not have so much disease in this country. However, this is probably why the AMA and FDA find every opportunity to bash every True healing method and try to put alternative practitioners out of business. They know that alternative methods are more conducive to healing and a threat to them. I can understand why they want to preserve their livelihoods, but it should not be at the expense of others — especially not when it comes to their health.

Surgeries and prescription drugs have become big business and are grossly overused. It has only been our lack of knowledge about healing disease that has made some surgeries necessary. However, most surgeries and the need for drugs can be prevented. It does not make sense to spend millions of dollars trying to approve more drugs for chronic disease. We should have learned by now that disease is not the result of a drug deficiency! It does not take a rocket scientist to figure this out. In fact, most drugs do more harm than good.

The following is an excerpt from a 30-page report, titled, Death By Medicine, from Life Extensions magazine, dated August of 2006. This fully referenced report presents compelling evidence that today’s health care system frequently does more harm than good. For example, the report shows, The number of people having in-hospital, adverse reactions to prescribed drugs to be 2.2 million annually. The number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed for viral infections is 20 million per year. The number of unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed is 7.5 million per year. The number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization is 8.9 million per year. The most stunning statistic, however, is the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine, which are nearly 800,000 per year. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US. By contrast, the number of deaths attributable to heart disease in 2001 was 699,697, while the number of deaths attributable to cancer was 553,251! (References, 1-5)

Further, there are many doctors who have written books that present evidence about the suppression of alternatives, (True healing methods), and the ineptness of western medical treatment when it comes to chronic disease. Such books include, The Best Way to Stay Healthy: Stay as Far Away From Doctors as You Can, by George Steele, M.D., Racketeering in Medicine, by James P. Carter, M.D., and Confessions of a Medical Heretic, by Robert S. Mendelshon, M.D. More of my heroes!

However, we cannot blame Western doctors for our diseases or for their inabilities, as they were not taught how to heal chronic disease. They were only taught how to treat symptoms with drugs and surgery. We only succumbed to Western medicine out of fear and desperation from our own ignorance. Over time, it became a BIG monopoly and big business. Modern medicine is best suited for emergency medicine such as trauma, accidents, burns, broken bones, bullet wounds and incidents of this nature. As times change toward natural healing and people begin to lose their fears about disease and start to take responsibility for their own health, modern medicine will eventually be reserved for what it does best  emergency medicine. I hope this book helps to make that change.

The main purpose of this book is not to bash the AMA or the FDA. The main purpose is to teach you about True healing. However, as part of doing that, I need to make you aware of some facts. Because of the monopoly the AMA and the FDA have on health care and society, you must become your own healing expert. For True healing, you must regain your power by taking responsibility for your own health! You must realize that you have choices; not only do you have choices, but you need to be aware of those choices. Not being aware of them can make you very vulnerable. This book is intended to create awareness about your choices and provide you with many suggestions that you may begin following up on today. We already have the abilities and natural therapies for healing, and True healing has been the reality for those who have already realized and utilized these tools.

Western medicine complicates everything and leads us to believe that disease is something very mysterious. Millions of dollars are wasted on searching for the answers we already have. We could save money by using the resources we already have within us, and everyone would then see that extensive research of disease is not necessary. Some research is valid and needed, but most research that takes place today has the wrong focus. Furthermore, most research is the result of big business taking advantage of our ignorance about health and healing. They want us to believe that we need millions of more dollars for research to find the cure for cancer and other chronic disease. We already have the cure for ALL disease. YOU are the cure!

After many years of service as a healing practitioner, I became frustrated with trying to convince some people that they, too, can heal. Currently, I’m not spending a lot of time trying to convince people; but I hope to be a good example, educator and coach. Instead of spinning my wheels with people who were not ready to listen, I wrote this book out of love and frustration because I still want to help others, and even feel it is my duty to share this information that is so important about healing. This book gives me the opportunity to help more people who really want to heal. You will also read many success stories about people who I have helped to heal.

The first two questions you need to ask yourself are: Do I want to treat symptoms? or, "Do I want to Truly heal? Most people will automatically say, Of course, I want to heal! However, when put to the challenge, many of these same people will not take the needed action. If controlling or managing your symptoms is all you are interested in, you won’t need to finish this book. Give it to someone you know who really wants to seek True healing. If you decide to pursue healing, then the next question you must ask yourself is, Am I willing to do what it takes to heal?" Healing from a chronic condition takes work, patience and complete focus every day. There are no quick fixes for chronic conditions and you must be willing to take the time and make the effort. However, it is amazing, when given the right tools, how quickly the body can heal when a person is open and willing to do what it takes. This book should be able to answer these questions for you.

You must realize that treating the symptom is not the same as True healing, and in fact, it is the complete opposite.

This book is for everyone who wants to pursue True healing. Everyone needs healing, whether they have a named disease or not. Many people only have mediocre health at best. This book was written to help people who wish to do the following: 1. Reverse their named disease. 2. Heal beyond mediocre health to prevent chronic disease. 3. Maintain a better and higher level of well-being throughout their lives.

I wish this book had been available to help me when I began my healing process. If I knew then what I know now, it would not have taken me as long as it did to heal. I had to learn everything from scratch. However, considering my ignorance about healing and my serious condition, I progressed in record time. The truth is if I had known then what I know now, I would not have ended up in such a state of poor health in the first place. This book contains everything you need to know to begin your healing journey. It doesn’t need to take you as long to heal as it took for me. Many people will miss this opportunity because they still can’t believe they really can heal. Disbelief about your ability to heal only comes from erroneous conditioning. Once you break through old belief patterns and fears about healing, you simultaneously break through all healing barriers.

I believe that ALL dis-ease can be healed -- I am living proof. I healed myself of many chronic diseases including cancer, with all natural remedies. Then I helped many others heal beyond all odds. I was determined to heal myself with only natural methods. So I learned everything I could and went from ignorant to expert about healing. Now you can do the same. This book contains everything I learned about the cause of disease and True healing from firsthand experience.

This book is intended to:

•   Take the confusion and fear away from named diseases, by explaining disease and its causes in simple generic terms.

•   Explain the difference between True healing and disease maintenance.

•   Describe how the cause of disease is ultimately all the same, independent of the individual names (labels) that are given by conventional doctors.

•   Explain why labeling disease with fancy names is unnecessary, delusive and even harmful.

•   Help you understand how most chronic disease is not (ultimately) caused by outside forces.

•   Explain how allergies to nutrients contribute to most chronic disease.

•   Describe how all chronic diseases are an accumulation of various toxicities, deficiencies and erroneous programming.

•   Explain how healing is just a matter of erasing (healing) all the many layers of erroneous programming.

•   Inform people of simple healing techniques that reverse allergies and all chronic disease symptoms from the level of causation.

•   Explain the meaning of disease.

•   Help people understand why a diagnosis or the name of their disease should not limit their ability to heal.

•   Expound on the mind-body connection and the importance of healing the emotional (stress) component of disease.

•   Illustrate what you can do to begin taking responsibility for your health, so you can begin your journey of healing today.

So, are you ready for the biggest responsibility in your life? Do you have the courage to face your fears, the will to overcome your conditioning and ignorance about healing, and the desire to take the action required in order for True healing to take place? Many books about healing only offer ways to better cope and live with disease, or methods to treat the symptoms in a more natural way. Some health books even cause more confusion, and many conflict with each other. This book will remove all confusion, by helping you to better understand disease, and also offers True Healing Solutions. It teaches you about your own innate healing abilities and how to eliminate the cause of disease in order to facilitate True healing.

Healing is life being transformed, as it is the evolutionary process in action. Within all life forms lies the innate intelligence that makes healing possible. Personal responsibility and awareness are the catalysts that ignite and allow this intelligence to transform. Are you ready to propel this intelligence into action?

Let’s first learn to understand ALL ABOUT DISEASE.

Then, you will learn ALL ABOUT HEALING!

My Story

After a very stressful time in my life, I began to notice that it was more difficult for me to perform normal daily tasks. I began getting very tired, and my entire body felt heavy and achy. It was difficult to concentrate. My vision became blurred, my eyes burned terribly and focusing was a challenge. It was not long before the tiredness turned into extreme fatigue and exhaustion. I eventually developed just about every symptom you can imagine.

My symptoms included back and body pain, low grade fever, depression, blurred vision, swollen lymph glands, sensitivity to noise, speech impairment, cold chills, hot sweats, heart palpitations, angina, constipation, memory loss, sleep difficulties, mental disorientation, enlarged spleen, low blood sugar, excessive gas and bloating, muscle spasms, anxiety, frequent colds and infections. Every organ in my body was affected. There was a time when even my skin hurt. In other words, I was a real mess! Diagnosed disease names included Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome (CFIDS), hypoglycemia, PMS, dyslexia, depression, fibromyalgia and colon cancer.

It is very difficult to explain the overwhelming fatigue and pain I endured physically, mentally and emotionally. Even though I was exhausted, it was difficult to sleep because my body was so out of balance. The throbbing pain in my back and the pulsating feeling in my chest from heart palpitations, made it more difficult to sleep because my entire body felt as if it were vibrating intensely. Even when I did get a fair amount of sleep, I still woke up with my eyes burning, exhausted and feeling disorientated. At times, just getting dressed was a major chore. Sometimes even talking on the phone or watching television just took too much energy! When I was at my worst, no amount of sleep would replenish my energy or clear my head enough so that I could think or talk straight, even for short periods of time.

The inability to concentrate or think straight was the most difficult for me. Most of the time, my head felt foggy. Feeling spacey, confused and disoriented became normal. It can be quite embarrassing and frustrating to have a conversation and not be able to remember words or how to formulate simple sentences. I felt like I was always tripping over my tongue. It was also difficult to comprehend or remember what others were saying. Sometimes, I even forgot my best friend’s name and even at times, my own! I felt like I had lost my mind, body and soul.

The physical pain was so bad that at one time, I imagined this must be what it feels like after being beaten with a baseball bat or run over by a truck. I felt black and blue all over, but without the bruise marks. Every muscle in my body hurt and my back was full of muscle spasms. My body felt very heavy, as if I were carrying myself around on my back, or was wearing a long heavy coat lined with lead. I even began to walk as if this were true. I felt very old and began to walk like many of the elderly do, sort of hunched over. I had not even turned 35! One day I actually could not move my legs and felt paralyzed.

Eventually, these symptoms began taking a terrible toll on me emotionally. It peaked after I had a homeopathy treatment. (Most natural treatments will help you cleanse, and thus heal emotionally as well as physically). After having this treatment, I began to cry uncontrollably, feeling scared, frantic and overwhelmed; my body was flooded with every emotion you can possibly imagine. This was my first experience with a healing crisis. However, since nobody had prepared me for this, I didn’t understand what was happening to me. I thought I was only getting worse. Only later did I learn about the healing crisis, which is explained in the healing chapter.

I frantically paced my apartment yelling and screaming, out of control. Emotions continued to build as the tears rolled down my face. I felt like a volcano getting ready to explode. Physically, I was in a lot of pain so I went to lie down on the couch. Still overwhelmed with emotion, frantic and afraid of what was happening to me, I suddenly and spontaneously yelled, "What do you want from me?" I lived alone and did not know why I said this or to whom I was saying it! It felt odd to seemingly talk to nobody. Still crying and emotionally enraged, I again very spontaneously yelled the words as I gasped for breath, Okay, okay, I surrender. This outcry seemed odd. However, right then I was engulfed by a peaceful comforting presence. I slowly began to calm down as I let out a sigh of relief. Then I knew that somehow everything was going to be all right. I did not realize it at the time, but this was the beginning of my spiritual healing and new life -- like being born again!

In order for me to heal and live a balanced life, I needed to surrender my ego-driven emotions and behaviors, and my core life lessons needed to be recognized. Even though I had recognized these core lessons to be essential in healing my spirit, I still had a long way to go and much physical and emotional healing to do.

I did not learn until I had been extremely ill for about two years, that I was allergic to just about everything on the planet, including many foods like eggs, fruit, grains, nuts, coffee, chocolate and sugars. I was also allergic to animal dander, shampoo, soap, perfume, lotions, mold, fungus, formaldehyde, chemicals, pesticides, fabrics and plastic. I was also allergic to most vitamins and minerals, especially iron. No wonder I was so tired! Wherever I went, I was bombarded with allergens.

How did I get in this condition? I have identified six causes of my illness that are common to all chronic illnesses.

First: I believe I inherited my weaknesses from my mother. My mother was very ill most of her life. I did not make the connection at first because I did not start having major health problems until after her death, when I was an adult. I also did not know (at first) that she or I had allergies. The only thing that I knew I was allergic to was poison oak. I only realize looking back now that she had all of the same problems I eventually did. The only difference was our diagnoses. She was diagnosed with emphysema. However, you will learn after reading this book that the underlying cause of all disease is really the same.

I remember that it was very difficult for my mother to go shopping for clothes. Walking into a store with all the new clothes and the overwhelming smell of formaldehyde was too much for her, just as it used to be for me. I did not realize back then that my mother was also allergic to everything that I was eventually able to heal for myself. No doctors ever mentioned allergies as part of the problem for her or for me. You will also learn why inherent disease (DNA) should not interfere with your ability to heal!

Second: I didn’t have the best diet growing up. We ate a lot of fried, processed food and sugary foods, not enough fruit and veggies, and my mom only bought white bread. I remember overeating, eating too quickly and not chewing well. So, I am sure this took a toll on my digestive system, eventually creating more food allergies and therefore, nutritional deficiencies.

Third: I remember getting my fair share of antibiotics. With every trip to the doctor came a shot of antibiotics. The over-use of antibiotics took a toll on my immune system, as well as provided a good breeding ground for Candida. I learned later that Candida was a very big problem for my mother and me. Since neither my mother nor I had a clue about natural remedies, these were never used for prevention or to help strengthen us when we were ill. Of course, now I know that all of the antibiotics were prescribed for symptoms that arose from all those allergies and Candida. Therefore, most of the time antibiotics were prescribed wrongly, and only contributed to future problems. The wrongful and over-prescribing of antibiotics is still a very common occurrence. I will explain more about this later.

Fourth: The incredible amount of stress I allowed myself to experience just prior to becoming very ill is what allowed the bottom to drop out. The stress was due to a difficult relationship. The stress was very intense for about six months. The situation I was in also made it difficult for me to sleep. The lack of sleep and intense stress were too much on my adrenal glands along with the rest of my body, and everything finally gave out, seemingly all at once.

However, looking back I can now see the slow deteriorating progression of disease (stress) that was already taking place over the years, leading me in that direction. In other words, I probably would have ended up in the same condition eventually, but the current stress allowed it to happen much sooner instead of gradually, over a period of time.

Fifth: For most of my life I was an A type personality, (which is just another definition for stress), always running around without much direction, like a chicken with my head cut off. This was partly due to not having the proper parental guidance when I was young. Therefore, when it came to a direction in life, I was totally lost. Making decisions was a major ordeal because I was so out of touch with my feelings and intuition. I always had a sense of urgency to make a decision right away, which only caused more stress and anxiety. I never really felt like I was doing the right thing or going in the right direction in life, which left me always feeling frustrated, unfulfilled and not very happy.

Sixth: I was way out of balance with my male (logical mind) and female (intuitive mind) energies. I lived mostly in my head and made all my decisions mostly from logic (male energy). I was not in touch with my female intuitive side. This was why I was so out of touch with my feelings. This made it very difficult for me to communicate with others. Prior to my illness, I began learning about this thing called intuition and knew immediately where I was going wrong. So I began right away trying to tune into and trust this higher wisdom. But the more I tried, the more frustrated I became. It was not as easy as it sounded! I began to have more and more difficulties and my life problems continued to compound.

How did I turn this mess (disease) around?

First: I recognized that my disease was the perfect tool to teach me my life’s lessons (balancing male and female energy for example). Not being AWARE of my life lessons earlier was a major contributing factor in my becoming ill. Lessons will always come back in another form until you learn them.

Not being able to think straight forced me to LEARN, LISTEN and TRUST that Inner Voice (female energy.) That is how I began to learn to tune in to my intuition. Being on my back in pain most of the time helped me to get in touch with my feelings, since FEELING at this point was about all I could do. Boy did I feel! I felt parts of my body that I did not know existed. My body (instead of my head) was my barometer. My body told me whenever I did a little too much. Now, I had to do everything according to how I FELT, instead of what I THOUGHT I should do, since I was not capable of clear thinking at this time.

At the beginning, I was easily exhausted. Therefore, I had much time to learn since I was on my back more than my feet at first. On some days, the most I could do was go to the grocery store. Little by little, as I began to feel better, I would have a tendency to fall back into my old pattern and run amuck, taking advantage of the extra energy and making up for lost time, so to speak. But sure enough, I would end up flat on my back again. This became quite a balancing act between my body and mind, and my male and female energies.

Second: I only used natural remedies and treatments. This consisted of homeopathy, herbs, colonics, chiropractic treatments, reprogramming treatments, massage, meditation, fasting, acupuncture, and gradually improved my diet.

The first relief I experienced on a physical level was when I began to learn about herbs and supplements. I started by taking a combination mineral supplement along with a combination herbal product. Within about ten days, most of my body aches were gone except for my back pain. I was obviously mineral deficient. I continued to take these for about six months, while at the same time receiving periodic homeopathy treatments (by injection). Then I began to learn more about herbs and incorporated them into my daily regimen. It seemed the more I took, the better I felt. But this seemed to only take me to a certain point. Even though the herbs helped greatly, I did not learn until some time later that I was allergic to most nutrients. There was so much more I needed to learn and do before I could get past this hurdle. Later, you will learn more about how to reverse all allergies.

Third: I continued to pay attention. Recognizing and learning your life lessons is crucial to healing on a spiritual level. I do not believe you can heal completely until you learn the lessons behind the pain. Furthermore, you cannot forget about the lessons once you feel better physically. Healing must be your life.

I now see this very difficult time as a blessing in disguise. This experience allowed me to balance my life, learn about health, and most importantly to learn about myself, and what is really important in life. Now, I can live the rest of my life healthy and happy instead of just slowly getting worse and not knowing why. I was still young enough to turn this all around and keep myself from dying in a diseased state. Passing on from this life does not have to mean leaving in a diseased state.

Many people don’t realize that they only have mediocre health, and it will slowly get worse if they do not incorporate healing into their daily lives. Healing goes beyond the elimination of symptoms. Most people think that if they don’t have physical symptoms, that they don’t need healing. Everyone has stresses in his or her life. All stress needs to be healed in order to prevent future physical symptoms.

Healing involves a much bigger picture and has a much deeper meaning than just eliminating symptoms. Healing is the evolution of life, which is inevitable for all of us. The question is: Will you evolve the easy way with conscious awareness, or will you take the more difficult road? When a person does not incorporate the practice of healing into his or her daily life, a more difficult road and disease is inevitable. The choice is yours. This book can help you do the following:

1. Prevent you from being diagnosed with a chronic disease

2. Reverse your current chronic disease

3. Progress you past mediocre health and into optimal health

Just keep reading!

Habits & Conditioning – Chapter 1

Fear, ignorance, conditioning & limiting beliefs are the main blocks that prevent people from True healing!

Through conditioning we create many fixed perceptions (beliefs) about how life should be. We also have many fixed beliefs about disease and healing. In addition, we have conditioned ourselves into certain habitual ways of living and thinking. Some habits and beliefs are not conducive to healing, as they limit our full potential and keep us trapped in a revolving door of disease.

In addition to our genetic coding, which determines our physical characteristics, we also come into this world with a certain amount of inherent programming (beliefs). These inherent beliefs help create our road map and our destiny. This road map is filled with specific life lessons meant to teach us how to grow as individuals. As we go through life, society then helps teach us new (conditioned) habits and beliefs, and thus influences our existing beliefs. Beliefs, whether inherent or newly created, help determine everything we do and don’t do. Societal influences come from many different sources such as our parents, churches, teachers, media, doctors, friends, etc. Beliefs determine our future; we can choose to keep the beliefs we have or we can change them. If our lives are not working quite right, the underlying cause is usually from programmed subconscious limiting beliefs and fear.

The brain is our master computer, responsible for storing (beliefs) information. The nervous system sends electrical messages throughout our bodies. These electrical messages can be generated by our feelings and emotions. Each emotion can change our physiology, energy level, biochemistry and state of mind. Likewise, changing physiology can help alter how we feel. The mind and body are intimately connected and affect each other. This understanding can assist us in changing our habitual behaviors, and with healing our minds, bodies and spirits.

Did you ever wonder why we all respond differently to the same thing? Our responses are dependent upon our internal programming. We are programming ourselves all the time, whether we are aware of it or not. Programming occurs through repetition and suggestion, and is greatly enhanced during times of stress or intense emotional states of awareness. Repetition reinforces programming, just like Pavlov’s dog was conditioned to salivate by repetition.

Behavior is dramatically influenced by our conditioned habits, or we could even say that behavior and our conditioned habits are one and the same. I have said for many years that much of what we do in life simply depends on what we are used to doing. Our conditioning determines how we respond to stimuli, just as Pavlov’s dog responded to the ringing of the bell. Frequently, we act on subconscious programming without much conscious thought, just like cattle following the herd or programmed robots waiting for the next stimulus (bell) to give us direction.

Once we become accustomed to any behavior, healthy or unhealthy, it can feel like a part of us. Without it we might feel like something is missing. How many times have you heard people say, I don’t know why I do that, I guess it’s just a habit, or, "I guess I’m just used to it." Often destructive behaviors become the normal way to feel, think or act. However, normal is only relative to our conditioned beliefs about life. What is normal behavior for one person may be odd or unheard of for another person.

Recently, I watched a heart-wrenching television show about children living on the street. These children had become accustomed to a different way of living; many of them resorted to panhandling, prostitution and eating out of garbage cans for survival. The reporter asked one of the kids, Is it difficult eating out of garbage cans? The kid responded casually, "No, I’m used to it. Living on the streets became a normal routine for them. This example illustrates how we can get used to anything. When it comes to our health, many of us are used to" just going to the doctor and treating symptoms. This habitual behavior has created a dependency, which can keep a person from taking full responsibility for his or her own health. Not taking responsibility for your health will keep you from True healing. Opportunity towards healing flourishes when we expand our awareness beyond our fixed perceptions and conditioning. Recognizing our lessons, as well as our true opportunities to heal, can help us reach our goals and keep us moving forward without becoming victims of disease.

LIFE LESSONS – When life lessons present themselves, several things may happen:

•   We may not recognize them as lessons and therefore mistake them as trauma.

•   If we mistake lessons as trauma we not only miss the teaching, we also stay trapped in a revolving door of victim-hood and disease (stress) until we realize the lesson.

•   Since lessons challenge us to grow beyond our comfort zone of conditioned habits, we may show resistance. Resistance only exaggerates the apparent problem because we are going against the natural flow of our destinies, thereby inhibiting our spiritual growth.

What keeps us from experiencing joy and happiness? What keeps us from experiencing perfect health? What keeps us from realizing our full potential in all areas of our life? What keeps us from learning our life lessons? What keeps us trapped in the revolving door of victim-hood and disease? The answer is: Poor conditioning, ignorance, limiting beliefs and fear, all of which cause emotional stress and eventually physical disease.

BELIEFS – Beliefs can either be conscious or subconscious. Beliefs help determine our direction in life. If we don’t believe we can do something then we probably won’t even try. What conditioned beliefs do you have about disease and healing? Do you believe disease is inevitable? Do you believe you can be well? Do you believe you deserve to be well? Do you believe there’s anything you can do about becoming well? Do you believe it’s too late? Were your parents loving and attentive only when you were sick? Do you have other programming that reinforced being sick as a positive experience? Did you only feel love from other people when you were sick? In other words, does your past programming cause you to associate disease with feeling loved? Do you have more negative than positive feelings about being well? These types of limiting beliefs, will keep you from healing.

I have a belief that anything is possible. This belief allowed me the probability of becoming well. I did anything and everything I could to become well. I worked diligently every day doing something, anything and everything I knew to do at the time. Becoming well became my priority and a full time job. I don’t see many people doing this. I’ve seen many people make a lot of excuses for why they can’t, won’t or shouldn’t do something. Some people dabble in becoming healthy, but don’t really make their health a priority. These behaviors are only due to limiting beliefs. However, beliefs can change, if you make the choice to change them. Limiting beliefs have nothing to do with True reality, but they do become your reality and they are based on your emotional programming. In True reality, everything is whole and complete, as God and nature designed it to be.

Maybe you have heard about mind over matter. Maybe you are frustrated because you feel you have a strong will power, but have not been able to will yourself to good health. Maybe you do positive affirmations, but have not had much success. Do you wonder why? When you have subconscious limiting beliefs (interfering with your will), it is difficult to will yourself to good health. In other words, will power is not enough when you have subconscious limiting beliefs and fear guiding your will. How to get past this hurdle is addressed later in the book.

GLOBAL BELIEFS - There are many global beliefs that we, as a society, collectively buy into. The following are common limiting global beliefs about disease and healing:

1. Dying in a diseased state is normal.

2. Most chronic disease is incurable and there is not much we can do about it.

3. The only possible cure is through modern medicine.

We believe in disease so much that we have created enormous companies, institutions, societies and foundations that support and validate our beliefs about disease. We have more hospitals than we have health food stores. We have support groups for every disease, disorder and condition imaginable. Some of this is good, as we sometimes need help when going through a challenge. However, look at the monarchy we have created from disease. We need to quit giving disease so much power over us.

What’s next, monuments displayed in parks and museums that abstractly portray our diseases? Individually, we can change our own destinies. But, we could heal disease on a much broader scale more quickly if we did so collectively. Allowing limiting global beliefs to influence you will greatly impede your progress. We have all heard the phrase, power comes in numbers, so start changing your limiting beliefs now, for yourself and the good of all humanity. You need to know that you are your own best healer.

IGNORANCE and BLAME – Ignorance is simply lack of knowledge. Foolishness is when we ignore the known truth. In other words, it’s silly and self-defeating when we know better and do the wrong thing anyway. Fear and limited beliefs can keep us in a chronic state of repeated unhealthy patterns. You can’t blame anyone for being ignorant. You would
