EFT Emotional Freedom Technique

There’s something scary about drugs that concerns a growing number of physicians and should wobble the knees of every patient on the planet. It’s obvious to any mathematician but somehow has escaped the general scrutiny of the health industry.

It has to do with combining meds.

Ever since I can remember I have been fed the perception that drugs are governmentally evaluated and thus are safe if taken under the guidance of competent physicians.  However, even if we accept the presumed safety for the ingestion of one drug, we must ask ourselves how might that safety change if we take multiple drugs?

For safety assurances, proper testing should be done for every drug combination we are advised to take. If we take Prozac and Tylenol, for example, we should be presented with all the possible benefits and consequences before allowing these two foreign substances to mix with the chemicals our bodies already create. Same thing goes for combining Paxil with Viagra or Interferon with Lipitor.

The list of possible problems here is monstrously long because there are a b’zillion drugs and mega b’zillions of combinations. Nonetheless, I’ve never seen or heard of any studies that test any of these combinations … have you?

Thus, if you take two drugs, the odds of their combination having been adequately tested for safety are skimpy at best. But if you take 3 or more drugs the danger possibilities multiply even faster.

Here’s how the mathematics work: If you take 3 drugs then adequate safety testing of the various combinations require 7 separate tests. If you take 4 drugs the combinations require 25 separate tests. If you take 5 drugs it amounts to 121 tests. If you take 10 drugs the number of required safety tests total 362,881.

The conclusion here should be obvious. Namely, there is questionable safety testing if you take 2 drugs and nominal, if any, safety testing if you take 3. Beyond that you are clearly into the land of, “I have no idea what these combinations of drugs will do.”

To me, this tosses our dedicated docs into a tenuous position. They have patients with problems who aren’t willing to exercise, eat right, do EFT for emotional issues ( http://www.emofree.com/a/?884 ) or much of anything else to help their own health.

Instead, the patients hope the physicians will produce a magic pill (or pills) to make their problems go away.

I have met many patients who are on several drugs and take some drugs to counteract the effects of other drugs. As a non-physician I look at this with a shudder. These folks are being fed chemical cocktails with little or no safety testing behind the combinations. Maybe I need some help with my perceptions here but, to me, they are playing drug roulette.

I don’t know if lawyers have picked up on the simple, but compelling, math here. But I do know that I wouldn’t want to be a doctor in court facing these clear facts.

In the 15+ years I have been involved in the health field, I have had the good fortune to count many physicians as my personal friends. With few exceptions, they agree that it is our lifestyles, diets and emotional stresses that cause most of our health problems … and … the vast majority of these problems would vanish if people would live common sense lives. Yet patients repeatedly abuse their bodies and ask for more and more “miracle drugs” as the convenient solution.

I don’t envy the docs at all as I often hear  them complain that this is a highway to NobodyWinsVille. Maybe what we really need are good salespeople to persuade folks to take care of themselves. I suspect that, if truly persuasive, they would do more good than the ocean of drugs at our disposal.

Love, Gary

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 4, 2006 — Between first-tee jitters, the yips, swing faults, and other distractions, golf can be more frustrating than enjoyable. But Ohio golf coach Stephen Ladd shows golfers how to tap on key acupressure points while focusing on golf problems and their scores improve, usually within minutes. The method he teaches is EFT, Emotional Freedom Techniques, which is explained in a free training manual at http://eft.gocmw.com/eft-manual.html In his office or on the putting greens of four local courses, Ladd shows amateurs and professionals how to eliminate stress, anxiety, and poor swing habits. “Most golfers never reach their true potential,” he says. “Traditional positive thinking programs simply do not help, and practice does not make perfect — in fact, practice often makes things worse. But by using EFT, golfers at every level can leave those problems behind, eliminate fear and doubt, and never choke again, ever.” Ladd recently asked clients to rate their results. “Of the 103 golfers who did so,” he says, “59 reported excellent results, 32 had good results, 10 reported fair results, and only 2 had disappointing results.” According to Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer who developed EFT, these outcomes are in keeping with the technique’s success rate in all aspects of sports performance as well as the treatment of stress, anxiety, and physical problems. “We’ve been tracking EFT’s results for the last 10 years,” says Craig, “and most practitioners report that over 80 percent of those who try it experience significant improvement.” In golf, says Ladd, the most meaningful improvement is a reduction of the player’s handicap. “I asked my golfers for their average round before and after learning and applying EFT,” he says. “Of the 31 golfers who supplied these statistics, all (100 percent) reported improvement, and their improvements averaged 36 percent. A few reduced their handicaps by as much as 55 to 75 percent.” EFT was originally developed to address problems such as stress and anxiety, which are key factors in sports performance. PGA Teaching Professional Dave Proffitt of London, Ohio, says, “My putting was he only thing keeping me from winning several PGA Teaching Professional events. I could sink them all day on the practice green, but never in the big tournaments. My playing partners expected me to reach the par fives in two, but then hang on for par. EFT took care of that in short order. Imagine their surprise when I started draining eagle putts! The free EFT manual can be downloaded at http://eft.gocmw.com/eft-manual.html

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) — The American Diabetes Association (ADA) president challenged medical doctors to improve type 2 diabetes care. Recent findings show that incidence of diabetes has doubled in the past 30 years and researchers blame unhealthy lifestyle factors for this epidemic and warn that diabetes increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer who developed Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) agrees that diseases like diabetes are a result of unhealthy lifestyle choices. “However, conventional medicine does not address the reasons why people become trapped in a cycle of making unhealthy choices,” says Craig. “According to EFT theory, people overindulge in junk food, soft drinks and the like in an effort to tranquilize unresolved stress and negative emotions.” EFT claims an 80% success rate in reducing these emotional issues and improved physical symptoms are the frequent result. It can be learned freely by downloading the EFT Manual at http://eft.gocmw.com/eft-manual.html

Robert Rizza, MD, ADA President of Medicine and Science calls for optimal care of diabetes patients which would include maintaining stable blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels, reducing body fat and not smoking. In order to achieve these healthier levels, Dr. Rizza proposes that diabetic patients take a once-daily “polypill”, a compound that would contain drugs to lower blood glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure, and aspirin to reduce risk of heart attack and stroke. Los Angeles physician Eric Robins, MD, uses EFT in his medical practice. Dr. Robins issues his own challenge to medical doctors. “While the medical establishment sounds an alarm about the billion dollar implications of diseases like diabetes, I invite other medical doctors to look at treating the cause of the problem rather than the effect. The main lifestyle contributors to diabetes include, 1) eating too much of the wrong types of foods, 2) not exercising enough, 3) stress. EFT can be effectively used on all of these types of problems, and will empower those patients who want to take a more active role in their healthcare.” This one simple technique helps people conquer food cravings and increase their motivation to exercise. According to Gary Craig, “EFT may be the world’s fastest-growing self-help technique because people are getting results where nothing else has worked.

It is a first-rate stress reduction technique that often lowers blood sugar and blood pressure levels, and addresses unhealthy cholesterol levels.” EFT involves fingertip tapping on select acupressure points while focusing on the issue in question. Based on the principles of acupuncture, EFT balances the body’s disrupted energy meridian system (Chi or Qi). Following EFT, the body’s stress response no longer manifests as abnormal blood sugar levels. ADA President Dr. Rizza is distressed by the epidemic incidence of diabetes. “Our health-care system and our nation’s economy cannot tolerate one in three people having diabetes. It requires a concerted effort by our health-care system, by our government, by all parts of society to realize that this epidemic is endangering not only all the people alive, but our children and our children’s children,” said Rizza. Gary Craig says, “My EFT Practitioners and I represent a part of society that is focused on improving access to a low cost self help technique that has no known side effects and has an 80% success rate. I believe that the nation’s economy and health care system would be well served by treating the true cause of disease with EFT. Nearly 21 million Americans have diabetes and my conservative estimate is that EFT could materially improve symptoms and risk factors for 60% of those patients.” Over 300,000 have downloaded Craig’s free training manual and another 10,000 download it each month. The official EFT Manual has been translated by volunteer practitioners into nine languages. The EFT Manual explains the basics so that anyone can begin applying EFT right away.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) — Pain medication was never intended to cure pain — merely mask the pain symptoms. By conventional definition, pain is a physical signal that something is wrong in the body. According to EFT theory, pain is a signal that there is a block in the body’s energy meridian system (Chi or Qi), or that there are unresolved emotional issues. When emotional pain is addressed, the energy meridian system balances, no longer stimulating in a physical pain response.

EFT often works when nothing else does because it does not mask pain; it eliminates the body’s pain response to emotional trauma and energy blocks. It involves fingertip tapping on select acupressure points while focusing on the pain in question. EFT claims an 80% success rate in calming chronic pain. It and can be learned freely by downloading the EFT Manual at http://eft.gocmw.com/eft-manual.html

EFT even reduces or eliminates pain associated with serious diseases like cancer and arthritis. Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer who developed EFT, explains, “The medical profession tends to look at pain as though it has mechanical or chemical causes. By contrast, we frequently find that it also has very important emotional causes and once those causes are collapsed with EFT, the pain subsides.”

Pharmaceutical companies earn billions of dollars by providing chronic pain sufferers with medications designed to inhibit their pain. The drugs were developed to have fewer side effects than non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Aspirin or ibuprofen which could cause gastric bleeding or ulcers.

Before Vioxx, the popular arthritis pain medication, was taken off the market due to increased incidence of heart attacks, strokes and death, Merck earned nearly $2.4 billion. In 2003, Pfizer earned $2.29 billion in sales of Celebrex, Vioxx’s competitor. According to Canada’s Adverse Drug Reaction database, Celebrex showed 456 adverse drug reactions, including 30 deaths up until April, 2004.

EFT has no known side effects.

“Every time news reports that a drug has been taken off the market, or has serious side effects, activity on the EFT website increases as people search for healthy alternatives,” says Craig. “People freely download the EFT Manual and immediately start using this simple procedure to manage, even eliminate their pain. The letters and testimonials illustrate the profound impact that EFT is having on people all over the world.”

Dr. Joseph Mercola, sponsor of the world’s most visited natural health website (www.mercola.com), uses EFT in his medical practice. Dr. Mercola explains, “I can recall using EFT with a new patient with rheumatoid arthritis who had been taking 60 mg of prednisone for her severe joint pain. She described the pain in her feet as if someone had stuck a butcher knife in them. The absolutely amazing outcome was that after a few minutes of tapping her pain had completely disappeared. It is still hard to believe how effective EFT is for this problem.”

Over 330,000 have downloaded Craig’s free training manual and another 10,000 download it each month. The official EFT Manual has been translated by volunteer practitioners into nine languages.
