MEMORY ERASING DRUG? FORGET IT !


MEMORY ERASING PILLS

Do you want to forget or remove any unpleasant memory? Medical science may have found a drug for that. There is of course no guarantee that other parts of your memory might be erased as well like the time you fell in love with your wife or soul mate. But why do we need to remove or erase these 'negative' memories when there is a simple method of erasing and removing the emotional trauma of that memory. Imagine being able to recall the traumatic memory without feeling angry, fearful, panicky and all the associated negative emotions. EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques can do just that. Why erase your memory when you can erase the negative emotions? It is essential that these memories be retain so we do not repeat the same mistakes. If you fell into the river and almost drown resulting in a phobia of water would you remove the phobia or the memory of falling into the river? Certainly the phobia not the memory which could in future help us to be more careful. A traumatized raped victim need to be able to testify in court. If to remove the trauma we need to remove the memory how is she going to testify? EFT will remove the trauma and she can still recount the incident without the trauma. Natural News gave a fantastic report in their following article.

"(NaturalNews) Drug researchers are working on a mind-altering chemical that could erase your memories. It's all being pursued under the umbrella of "mental health" with claims that this could help victims of emotional trauma. The idea that you can "heal" a patient by chemically lobotomizing them is, of course, entirely consistent with the core mythology of modern medicine: If something's wrong, you should poison it, burn it, irradiate it or cut it out... and then pronounce the patient "healed!"

In the case of memory-erasing drugs, scientists are reportedly working on a drug that would remove certain proteins from the brain's "fear center." This is based on the ludicrous idea, by the way, that memories are recorded solely by physical proteins in the brain -- an idea that's obviously based on an entirely outmoded mechanistic model of the human mind and brain.
Then again, modern medical science seems to be hopelessly stuck in the Dark Ages, believing that there must be a chemical cure for everything. Hence the ongoing waste of billions of dollars searching for a cancer cure as if it were some sort of acquired infection.
"Erasing a memory and then everything bad built on that is an amazing idea, and I can see all sorts of potential," said Kate Farinholt, executive director of the mental health support and information group NAMI Maryland, in a Baltimore Sun story (http://www.baltimoresun.com/health/...). But even she can see this approach could be fraught with danger: "Completely deleting a memory, assuming it's one memory, is a little scary. How do you remove a memory without removing a whole part of someone's life, and is it best to do that, considering that people grow and learn from their experiences?"  ...........................

WARNING - MEDITATION CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH!

WARNING - Meditation can be hazardous to your health if you have repressed and unresolved emotional issues. While thousands have benefited and found peace from meditation there are some who have abreactions that are caused by the sudden released of raw negative emotions that had been suppressed. The release is so overwhelming and traumatic that it can take days or even years to recover from it.

Recently in a single week of psychotherapy I had three clients telling me of their traumatic emotional experiences that was triggered by meditation. One did it unsupervised by following a book, the other with yoga and another went to a monastery in Nepal. The first two suffered anxiety attacks while the latter suffered severe abreactions that lasted two years and nearly killed her with bulimia. There is a need to warn people of the consequence of unsupervised and unsuitable subjects for meditation. If you intend to practice meditation it is advisable to learn techniques to clear suppressed negative emotions. EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques is one of the most easily taught and applied techniques that quickly and gently process negative emotions. I had used it to clear and help the above clients. It is fast as negative emotions are processed and removed in minutes. An hour with them involves removing several negative emotions and one or two issues. Many are unaware that repressed emotions can also lead to physical health issues. Everyone need to address this important emotional health issue. Many fail to do so because they think they have no issues or they can bear it. Why bear it and carry the emotional baggage around for the rest of your life when you can easily get rid of it? One day EFT workshops (http://www.eftwonder.com/) can equip you with a powerful tool that you can use for a life time of health.

SNATCH VICTIMS - ARE YOU ONE TOO?

Snatched Victims - Are you one too?

Below is my facebook forum from IZ EFT group on helping snatch thief victims using EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques (http://www.eftwonder.com/).

She had been traumatised.


How do you help someone like her?

What are the core issues and emotional traumas to address?

What EFT method would you use?

What type of pain is she experiencing and will EFT help?

See Story Link: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=%2F2010%2F10%2F8%2Fnation%2F7186936&sec=nation

Lets hear from all of you and your own experience as a victim or practitioner. She lost much more than her handbag and rm.30. She lost her dignity, self-esteem, security, sleep and now filled with fear, guilt, anxiety, insomnia, pain, violated... I want to help all victims and teach them how to 'snatch back' what they lost with EFT.
Give your answers and diagnosis and I will show you how to help others like her.
The next EFT gathering will introduce this healing program mainly for the ladies call "Snatch It Back!'.
If you have heard of victims of snatch thieves or robberies you can invite them at our watering hole -Papa Rich restaurant.
Let us work together on this project for all the victims. Give me your feedback.

Hi all ,
Thank you Isaac for presenting us with these challenges.

I would start with asking her current level of anxiety, and tap till it goes down to zero.
I would also do a movie technique with her to get her to recall the incident and tap along.
The thought of petrol station, car, policeman, police station may trigger anxiety and that will be something to tap on too.
Then I may get her to talk a bit and see if I can pick up any beliefs, truths or table tops that she might have.
These writings on the walls may be the reason she is attracting misfortunes.
If she does have, I will ask her to recall any incidents that support the beliefs and tap on those events.

Hopefully we can get as many events for her to eliminate and remove the table top.

Isaac Lim -Hi Shaliza,

Thank you for your response to my questions on this snatch case. Your diagnosis of this case and approach to helping her are very good and correct. I am happy with your assessment of her case as it shows you are a capable EFT practitioner and therapist.

I would like to draw your attention to 2 other emotional aspect that may need to be processed.

a) She mention how she though she was going to die and she found strenght to break free when she thought of her children who need her. This new belief form out of trauma may change her behaviour towards her children to being over protective. She may have the fear of her children losing her and may now be reluctant to leave them. Check on this.

b) She mention pain during the night that cause her to cry and lose sleep. We need to address this issue. Her physical pain is likely 70% emotional and addressing this with movie technique as you mention will reduce it and help her sleep. I suspect she is stuck in the fight state and that was the reason she could not stop talking which made the police officer to lose patience with her. She is likely hypervigilant and that can cause insomnia. Her internal alarm cannot stop ringing. This again will affect her behaviour later on unless it is removed.
I had a recent client with a knife wound that is 10 years old and the scar is still painful especially on rainy days. After only one session I saw her the following week and asked her about it. She was surprised that there was no more pain . Her scar now has sensation when touch and the skin more relax as it now has wrinkles when before it was shiny and tight! This snatch thief victim will find her wound healing faster after EFT.
I am collating your response to form a 'Snatch it Back' workshop to help victims of snatch thieves and robbery. It is more of a community project. If any NGO woman's groups are interested to organise one I would be happy to support them.

One Mans' Meat is another Mans' Poison.

One man's meat is another man's poison is an idiom that rings literally true for me. I was in excruciating pain and had to limp in agony for days. My left foot was swollen and inflame and the pain at my achilles tendon was like an arrow had pierced through it! Am I being too melodramatic in my description of the dreaded four lettered word? GOUT! Yes, gout is my archilles heel, my weakness that had laid low (no pun intended) many of my ancestors from my father's side. How unfortunate that blood tests had also shown that my dear teenage children had also inherited it, as they too had high uric acid. 'From whence did thou posses it? From the sins of my fathers.' No that did not come from the Bible nor the great Victorian bard with a 'parkinsonian' name Shakespeare. Am I being dramatic again? Sorry with a smile. It's easier to laugh in the face of suffering than to cry in the arse of adversity. Now, that was original and you can quote me on that. Inspiration comes from perspiration but my comes from gout. No, I am not high from over medication in fact I refused to take the steroids the doctor gave me. It will cause increase appetite and indigestion. Now that sounds evil. It makes you eat like a hog and gives you indigestion in return. Anti-inflammatory medications also helps tremendously but after one week with it your ulcerated stomach lining may need a new one. I chose a more friendly one call 'Mobid'. My daughter asked why did they call it that and I enlighten her that it is spelt 'Mobic'.

I know a way to reduce the recovery period from 7 -10 days to 3-4 days after all I am a pain management therapist. Using diaphragmatic breathing technique with raised legs as you lie down it increases blood, oxygen and chi flow to reduce the uric acid crystals and inflammation in your joints and tissues. I also used EFT to soothe my frustration and other emotional blocks to healing. It also soothes the burning pain so I can reduce the painkiller dosage to save my stomach lining.

What about food? Water, lots of it will help flush out uric acid and water melon is a juicy natural cure for gout as with cherries. They are rich in vitamin C and antioxidant which helps reduce inflammation. What about supplements? While fish oil that has been distilled is helpful a new product called stemtech was amazing. I tried it and the next day the swelling was 50% down after 3 days it is 90% healed.

I had to also watch my diet to make sure it had less purine which turns into uric acid. The kidneys normally excretes it but some of us tend to go into overproduction and the overworked kidneys cannot handle it.. There goes my satay, durian, cauliflowers, duck, sardines, dahl, all red meat and everything that taste good. If it taste good it's probably not good. No I am kidding but it does seem that way. Peanuts is bad, very bad and it's not even a real nut. Do you know it is the only nut that comes from the ground while all other nuts grows from trees? In Malaysia the more well known ones are grown on cemetery plots. They wash it and then dry it on tomb stones. That's what I was told so don't look at me like my nose had suddenly elongated. Peanut is normally the culprit that gets me but this time the cause was from ..... my wife. You see she bought something that gave me nostalgia, for as a kid I used to scoop a spoon of it and slowly lick it like it's a lollipop. That black,creamy, salty mamite was simply delicious and healthy. I remembered reading about the Japanese invasion and the death railway being built by malnourished British POWs. One of them swelled up with beri-beri. They had very little medication available so the medical officer gave him a bottle of mamite and it healed him. So I had a very high regard for the black goo and we had mamite soup threes times that week and presto now my left foot looks like it has beri-beri!

OK I have to put my brakes on or my blog will turn into a novel. When you are 'hot' you just want to continue writing. For more info on gout here is the medical link and my therapy links.

Panic Attacks and Punish Me Syndrome.

Statistically 10% of the population suffers from panic attacks and another 30% from anxiety disorder. This is not only true of Malaysians but also of the world. Surprised? Why should we be? Is this not a bad and scary world that we are living in? At anytime an earthquake could open up the earth under our feet and swollen us up or a mad guy may decided that nuclear war is tactically sound or a suicidal zealot may decide to go to heaven by sending everyone else to hell? All that can easily be push back into the dark recesses of our mind (and that's where it will always be, a niggling uneasiness) but for the sufferers of PA and AD it is illogically very real.
I normally need 2-6 sessions to help people with PA and AD with EFT. This is much faster than conventional talk or cognitive therapy. However last week a client who had been waking up with panic attacks for two years told me in the following session that the episodes are gone! Wow! that was fast. Sometimes EFT even surprise me with its results.
I had another client who as a child was arbitrary punished without excuse or his defence being allowed. He soon surrendered to the punishment meted out as something expected and not to be questioned even if he was not in the wrong. Like Pavlov's dogs he soon expects some form of punishment even as an adult and if none is forthcoming he will unconsciously punish himself emotionally or with psychosomatic pain. No amount of painkillers or physiotherapy could help him. I had to work on forgiveness and healing at cellular level to help him overcome it.
Do we all need EFT to help us in life. A resounding YES! As far as I am concern we are emotional beings that have forgotten how to process our emotions and had instead learn to ignore and repressed it. It will come back to haunt us in ways we least expect and affects our quality of life and happiness.

HYPNOSIS WITH DR.GEORGE

I recently attended a hypnosis workshop by Dr.George Bien a legend in the world of hypnosis. As I shook his hand at the end of the workshop I said to him "I came to see a living legend in action and I got an eyeful. Thank you." He is America's top hypnotist yet he was approachable. I actually attended for the certification and to see how he conducts training so I can model some of his presentation techniques. I have after all attended hypnosis workshops before but I still find my EFT techniques http://www.eftwonder.com/ so quick and easy to use I never really got to using hypnosis as an essential tool.
I was pleasantly surprised that a 2 page 30 minute presentation was given on EFT to invoke interest and awareness about this amazing healing tool. The highlight was a beautiful (inside and outside) visiting hypnotherapist who gave her testimony on how she broke her neck and died, revived but declared a quadriplegic with no hope of ever walking again. She was able to save her life by using self hypnosis to stiffen her neck and put herself in a happy mood in the months of being bedridden. She also used visual EFT to remove the trauma in her body and she began to recover her feelings to her limps and body. The nurses and doctors were amazed by her recovery as they have declared her paralysis permanent. Wow what a testimony!
During the workshop I also had the opportunity to help two ladies.The first was a medical intern who had a bad throat and was coughing beside me. I offered to help her with qigong emphasising that I need not touch her. I removed the congested energy in her throat and energized it. She said she could feel the heat from my hands. After 10 minutes I asked her how her throat feels and she replied with a surprised facial expression, 'It feels much better'. I check on her on the last day and she is almost recovered without needing any further treatment. The second was an elder doctor and as she sat beside me I could feel her emotional congestion in her chest and offered to help with EFT. It took me 20 minutes to clear the emotional congestion in her chest and jaws. She looked so much more radiant after that as compared with the days she was looking so worried and subdued. The point is the young and old, the clients and the therapist are all open to dis-ease and disease. Come on, even doctors fall ill. Now don't give me that surprised look and please close your gapping mouth.
In fact we are more exposed to sickness and bad energies. I find people even family members commenting callously you are a therapist and you can't even cure your son from autism? Why don't you heal yourself? My answer is this, 'We are not god!"

'Starving Yogi' Astounds Indian Scientists

'Starving yogi' astounds Indian scientists


News report by AFP on an 83-year-old Indian holy man who says he has spent 70 years without food or water has astounded a team of military doctors. They conducted a 2 week intensive medical observation on him. Prahlad Jani spent a fortnight in a hospital in the western India state of Gujarat under constant surveillance from a team of 30 medics equipped with cameras and closed circuit television. During the period, he neither ate nor drank and did not go to the toilet.

Did they find an answer to his survival skills? No.
"We still do not know how he survives," neurologist Sudhir Shah told reporters after the end of the experiment. "It is still a mystery what kind of phenomenon this is."
Did they offer an explanation? Yes.
"If Jani does not derive energy from food and water, he must be doing that from energy sources around him, sunlight being one," said Shah.
"As medical practitioners we cannot shut our eyes to possibilities, to a source of energy other than calories."

Wow! That is commendable. To admit that the only possible conclusion is another source of energy. This came from the mouth of a neurologist who is a scientist a medical officer! Surely he will be burn at the stake for such blasphemous comments by the medical fraternity. But you say his conclusion was from scientific, medical observation. So what, anything that goes against the sacred medical teachings of medical science need to be debunk regardless of evidence. Maybe as one Dr.Van Rooyen sarcastically implied, "You can hold a lot of water in those yogi beards. A sneaky yogi for certain," he said. "He MUST take in water." You mean 30 medics with hi-tech CCTV and equipment could not detect a cheat or are they co-conspirators that are willing to lose their medical license for a joke and they missed April the 1st. Another sceptic said, 'He might be hiding a burger under his beard!" Now that would make a good McDonald advertisement. Hello, advert boys -WAKE UP.
So what other energy sources around him can we think of? 'Sunlight' the doctor suggested. No, he did not mean photosynthesis or his skin colour will match the incredible hulk.
The answer is :
We are basically energy beings made up of atoms and vibrating electrons and neutrons. We have a body that is described as bio-electomagnetic. Our brains fire electrical impulses through neurotransmitters that links to networks of electrical pathways. There exist a close circuit energy system 'meridians' in our body that helps our body to function at optimal health. Disturbance of these circuits will disrupt our health system. Energy healers using reiki, qigong, pranic healing, acupuncture and many other new therapies like energy psychology (www.eftwonder.com) have found a faster non invasive form of healing by accessing these meridians. As energy beings we are able to absorb electromagnetic energy around us from the earth's energy field or space which bombards earth with enormous quantities of energy like the sun. There will come a time when medical science will come to 'discover' it and maybe taking credit for it. They may probably attach some other medically bombastic name to disguised it. They are so shy and it takes time to be associated with energy healing. Give them space.
