Isn’t it amazing that modern medicine with all its hi tech gadgets has missed the most fundamental aspect when dealing with a human being – their emotions. According to the Merck Manual (bible of conventional medicine) hardly a single cause to any disease has been identified. Often we here about this virus or that bacteria. Bird flu is the rage. We are constantly told there could be a pandemic. Louis Pastor, the originator of the germ theory started to question the germ theory towards the end of his life. It was too late. Germs were the new enemy. Hygiene definitely improved the lot of millions. When surgeons started wearing gloves cross infections went down. The improvement in the quality of life that sanitation bought to everyone cannot be overestimated. It is also acknowledged though that without germs life would not exist. The criteria layed down for organic food is not just the removal of pesticides but most importantly the diversity of soil organisms. They are the key determinant of the health of the land. What is Meta-Medicine? Meta-Medicine stems from a scientific discovery that sheds new light on the cause of disease. It is essentially a diagnostic tool and represents a paradigm shift in medicine on a Copernican scale. In the eighties a German cancer specialist stumbled across the answers. He discovered a system in nature which unites all mammals in as much as they share this common biological language. Meta-Medicine takes into account the bio-psychosocial aspects to disease. That is it looks at the emotional trauma, the physical clinical presentation and the environmental context of the patient. With these factors considered the patient gains valuable insights which could enable them to regain optimum health. Who would Meta-Medicine Benefit? It will benefit complementary practitioners, Dr’s. and patients. Chiropracters will understand what causes a herniated disc, homeopaths are more able to focus their emotional based medicines and with Dr’s it radically improves differential diagnosis The Psyche, Brain and Organ The Meta-medicine model unites these three aspects as a unified whole. No longer is there a dichotomy between mind and body as seen in psychiatry and medicine. When considering disease these three have to be taken into account. They work synchroniously. Part of the reason for the dichotomy is that a few hundred years ago when the church held sway permission was only granted for study of the body on condition that the mind/soul was the sole domain of the church. Desperate to do research this rule was adhered to. Knowing this, one can be more understanding as to how something so vital could be overlooked Some definitions of Psyche ‘ In psychiatry – the mind as the center of thought, emotion and behavior. Greek for soul. Mind as divided into conscious, preconscious and unconscious, Sigmund Freud. The aspect of the spirit that provides thought and direction. The psyche is the integrator of all functions of behavior and all areas of conflict. Our thoughts and feelings impact our biology. In other words life’s experiences define your personality. This conditioning in turn determines how you react to certain experiences. The Brain This is the main computer of all behavioural functions, conflict areas and organs. Meta-Medicine is a diagnostic tool which uses CT brain scans to inform the consultation. Like the rings of a tree give information on the trees past history the CT brain scan records the history of significant emotional events. The brain also has direct communication with the organs and under certain circumstances will initiate changes in the organ. Differential diagnosis is an art whereby the Dr. differentiates which symptoms belong to which organ. Essentially he is a detective which attempts to arrive at an accurate diagnosis. CT brain scans allow for more accurate differential diagnosis coupled with an understanding of the root cause. So What Does Cause Disease? For centuries man has suspected a psychic origin for disease. This is now firmly anchored as a scientific fact due to the discovery of a German oncologist. One key fact to note is that emotional trauma will only impact the body if it comes as a total surprise to the individual. These events are highly acute, dramatic, isolating and catch us totally unawares. The word dis-ease speaks for itself – a lack of ease. For What Purpose Dis-ease? What do you do when feeling uneasy? You look for the cause and attempt to change the situation thereby bringing security and peace of mind. The Dr. happened to be a Professor of Biology and therefore could not help but look at these processes through the evolution of species. Noticing that nature was extremely conserved it was noted that all processes have a function whether man understands them or not. An example the oncologist uses to illustrate this. The deer loses its territory in the rutting season. It is old and lacks the vigor it used to have. Unfortunately for the deer the loss of territory means the end for him. Mother Nature enacts a special program we call disease. The main artery feeding the heart loses cells making the vessel wider. This is known an angina pectoris. This ensures increased blood flow with the accompanying nutrients and oxygen. The deer has a second fighting chance. Everything in Nature is goal orientated or meaningful. The intelligence which crafted life doesn’t make mistakes. Humans don’t like to act in a void so while the understanding has been lacking we have developed hypothesis. Now with Meta-medicine we have a model which accurately can trace the disease cycle from its inception. In the future the patient will become the boss and enlist a practitioners help only so as to facilitate them in their evolution as a soul. Have you never wondered why after spending so much time and money the condition persists? If the conflict remains unresolved the problem stays. A distinction needs to be made between psychological and biological conflict. Stress effects us all but won’t initiate the disease process. The conflicts only manifest in the body if they are highly acute, dramatic, isolating and shocking. We say biological as these conflicts impact our biology. Meta-medicine coaches help explain why they have pains, what the issues are and aid them to work through these. The meta-health coach aims to identify limiting beliefs and dysfunctional patterns of behaviour so as to break vicious cycles. “The secret of medicine is to distract the patient while nature cures itself.”(Voltaire). —————————— Tremayne Reiss is passionate about bio-energetic medicine. Happy New Year! In this article, I’m going to predict your future and forecast exactly what kind of results you’re going to get in the next 12 months. Sylvia Browne, step aside… I’m pretty good at this. Several years ago, a public relations firm in New York City asked me to write an article for one of their publications about fitness trends and predictions for the coming year. It turned out that my “crystal ball” was pretty darn accurate. I nailed most of the predictions I made about aerobics classes, yoga, core training, “holistic” approaches, online personal training technology, the baby boomer market, increasing obesity and many other subjects. I do confess, it wasn’t that difficult, because instead of just guessing, I actually did some research on industry statistics and I also had some “inside insights” because I’d been a health club manager for so many years and was privy to fitness business trends. This year, instead of making predictions for the whole fitness industry, what if I could take out my crystal ball again and predict with 99% precision exactly what kind of results you will achieve with your body by the end of the year? Well, no problem, I can do that too! I would claim that I have some kind of “gift” for this, but to be honest, you and I don’t need to be psychic to make predictions like these. There are two things you can always count on: (1) Nature’s laws of cause and effect and (2) human nature. On that basis, here are my 20 fitness predictions for the new year: I PREDICT that if you can reach into your pocket on any day this year and pull out a card or piece of paper with all your body and fitness goals written on it in vivid detail, the odds are 95 to 1 in favor of you achieving every one of those goals before the year is out. I PREDICT that if you focus your thoughts on your goals and how you are going to achieve them, all day long, you will reach your goals so fast this year, it will make your head spin. I PREDICT that if you focus your thoughts on health woes and body fat problems and if you think about what you don’t want, all day long, your problems will get worse than ever this year. I PREDICT that if you made a new year’s resolution, but you didn’t turn it into a specific, written goal with a deadline and a strong reason why you must achieve it, you will freely abandon it the moment the going gets tough. I PREDICT that if you can tell me all the reasons why achieving your health and fitness goals are important to you, you will be motivated from within to stick with it when the going gets tough I PREDICT that at times, the going is going to get tough. I PREDICT that if you can tell me today what is your life purpose and what is your lifelong vision for your body and your health, you will still be as motivated and driven at the end of the year as you were at the beginning. I PREDICT that if you don’t have long term goals and a “big picture” vision for your life that you will lose your New Year’s enthusiasm and motivation in a matter of months or even weeks. I PREDICT that the way you see yourself in your mind’s eye today will be an exact reflection of what you see in the mirror at the end of the year. I PREDICT that if you have a setback that seems to get in the way of you reaching your health and fitness goals and you tell yourself “this just is temporary; this too shall pass,” then it will pass and it won’t set you back. I PREDICT that if you believe the way your body looks today is out of your control and you feel helpless or powerless to change, you won’t even make much of an effort this year. I PREDICT that if you accept complete responsibility for the way your body looks today and you believe that you have the power to change, that you will take action and keep taking action, even through the tough times. I PREDICT that if you’re unhappy with your physical condition and you say, “it’s not my fault” or you blame it on genetics, hormones or age, then your body will look pretty much the same at the end of this year as it did on New Year’s day. I PREDICT that the more you have patience, a long term perspective and the ability to postpone immediate gratification, the more likely you are to be a success one year from now. I PREDICT that the more you seek “miracle pills” or “quick fixes,” the more likely you are to be a failure one year from now. I PREDICT that you will be tempted by many quick fixes this year. I PREDICT that if you hang out with losers and negative people this year, you will become just like them. I PREDICT that if you hang out with winners and positive people this year, you will become just like them. I PREDICT that you will run into more negative people and losers this year than positive people and winners. I PREDICT that if you recruit just one friend or support partner that stands behind you and the lifestyle changes you want to make this year, you will double your chances for success. If you surround yourself with numerous support partners, you will become virtually unstoppable. So how does your future look for the year ahead? Based on my “predictions,” if it doesn’t look as bright as you’d like it to be, then don’t worry, because a prediction is not predestination. You can’t do anything to change the past, but by changing your thoughts, attitudes and actions in the present moment, the future is yours to create.
