Whole Person Self-Healing: A Science and Art

This book is a multi-disciplinary attempt to unite the branches of science in physics and biology of organic and inorganic energies focusing on the evolution of pulsed Coulombic, Gaussian and Photonic fields (PEMF). PEMF is explored in relationship to cultivating negative entropy and methods of diagnosis and treatment for pain and suffering. To be sure, clinical case studies are presented in heart disease, spinal injuries, family healing techniques, Qigong for addiction therapy, athletic injuries and meditation techniques in involuntary and voluntary methods.

This article explores Coulombic, Gaussian, and Photonic fields starting at their historical roots up to their use in modern medicine for diagnosis and treatment. These pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) understandings slowly evolved through time. It took almost 400 years to have a clear scientific delineation of the different forms that these phenomena can have, from static generators, batteries (direct current), rotating coils of copper spun around a magnet to create alternating current, and photonic waveforms such as the laser. At first, in the nineteenth century, treatments proliferated but many people were injured from a lack of understanding of the effects that these inventions had on human tissue. Melzack and Wall in the 1960s put forth the control gate theory and the role of serotonin and the neuro transmitters in pain relief. Concomitant to this was research into forms of meditation, both involuntary and voluntary with the use of electrocardiography ECG and electroencephalogram EEG. For neurological disease came the test of the velocity of nerve conduction from the normal standard traveling through a given distance with the electromyography EMG. The use of these diagnostic methods resulted in a less direct patient/doctor relationship. Palpation, as well as the historical patient report, key to situate the patient's condition into an appropriate context receded. Research by Bykov and Gant showed that the heart is susceptible to noxious adverse conditioning to organ stress and adverse stimulation. Acupuncture and electro-therapeutics have been shown to overcome psychosomatic responses such as the phantom limb effect, emotional turmoil, neurological problems, such as reflex sympathetic dystrophy and to calm the heart and viscera. The concept of entropy is refuted for organic life due to the lack of application of inorganic equilibrium scientific experiments to organic non equilibrium conditions espoused by Prigogine. The electrophysiology of the heart with the sinoatrial (SA) node and the atrioventricular (AV) node are the primary pacemaker cell groups in the heart and may be implicated in diseased conditioning of the heart through de-synchronization and body trauma.

Enlightenment, physiological state of supreme Quiet, results abruptly from the Meditational state through unitization of fragmented physiology of ordinary man. Meditation has given long absorbing attention to actualities of the present moment. Subsequently Enlightened, all perceptions are of the total present, made possible by complete unresponsiveness to conditioned stimuli that had habitually reactivated residues of suffering. Tranquillity follows spontaneously, so does appropriate behavior, yet appearing “strange” to ordinary fragmented man. Despite extreme scientific disparities, a system parallel abstractly to Enlightenment appears abruptly at 2.17° Absolute, as superfluid in helium, 4He II, a quantum liquid. Its background noise is virtually zero, its viscosity is zero; it flows without differences in pressure. Its strangeness transcends commonly-held dualities of opposites as does Enlightenment. Macroscopic motion is inherent in its most stable stationary quantum state paralleling most stable physiologic state of living man, when Enlightened. Is this existential energy of motion Qi, the 'life energy' of Chinese tradition?

This chapter is written for beginners in meditation. Using an experiential approach, it exploring a variety of meditation concepts, which include the time of day one meditates, colors or vibrations one might experience and breathing techniques, such as alternate nostril breathing and fetal breathing. The author explores a meditation technique that helps one be able to perform under stress and tailors it for various mind/body/spirit disorders and conditions. He also shares the meditation techniques he developed during his 10 years of experience as a world class athlete.

Where does Qigong fit into the science system? Qigong is both physical and mental exercise; it does not have a religious component. It differs from psychology because it is both mind and body. Theoretical knowledge has an understanding but has no practice. Religious worship may develop the mind but has no body practice. At its core Qigong is the manipulation of the regulation of the body, breath, and mind into an integrative whole, with the breath as the key regulator practice to make this happen. Measurement of Qigong is provided with a variety of measurements to chemical process, electromagnetism, and cellular pathogens. Research on Qigong, a term used for a variety of traditional Chinese energy exercises, cultivation and therapies (Chen 2003), has occurred primarily in China. A summary of scientific approaches and measurements to Qigong is provided and a reference to the Qigong Institutes’ database of scientific studies. Definition of Qigong and Methodological Restrictions.

The Omura O-ring non-invasive low cost test is a scientific way to gather data over time. The O-ring is able to image PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields) organ pathways on the surface of the skin and compare these imaged pathways with the traditional Oriental Meridians. These pathways have only been theories and with the O-ring a deeper understanding can be realized. The biochemistry of these pathways is presented. A triple blind study shielding the O-ring process from two researchers and patient shown under toxic condition (holding tobacco and lung tissue in the hand as control reference) caused an aberration of the lung pathway. A two year - 400 patientclinical study was initiated from this aberrant experiment to see pathways under various pain conditions. These pathways deviate in spinal herniations, infections, scars, breast implants, emotional stress and muscular spasms. This case study indicated that most myofascial pain comes from the dermatome of the spine (areas of innervations of each vertebra) and stimulation to that particular vertebrae resulted in pain reduction in 80% of the cases. About 30 cases were associated with organ dysfunction and manifest aberrant pathways or pathways not a part of Oriental medicine. Through O-ring imaging, infections can be located, usually inside localized muscle spasms and when given compatible antibiotics, the O-ring showed that the antibiotic did not penetrate these spasm areas. With stimulation i.e., acupuncture, laser, manual stimulation or Qigong, the antibiotic penetrated the area and resolved the infection. The Hui theory, supported by this clinical study outlines the general phases and direction inside and outside the body, linear and nonlinear direction from the location of a Oriental meridian points or circles.

In Chronic Heart Disease, exertion, overstrain or cold wind and temperature can create symptoms of tiredness, fluid in the lung, coldness symptoms, sputum production, cough, rapid breathing, nausea and abdominal spasm, no appetite, mental disturbances, insomnia and restless sleep, and fear. These were our questions: What techniques of meditation, Qigong and acupuncture can alleviate the symptoms of Chronic Heart Disease? Which complementary treatments and techniques can help alleviate heart medication side effects such as a drop in blood pressure? How effective is Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture techniques for symptoms of Chronic Heart Disease? What new techniques can be learned from this study in acupuncture, meditation and Qigong for particular symptoms? From these question came the desire to test and measure these states of Chronic Heart Disease in an acute state (with traditional heart medication) using meditation, acupuncture and Qigong. These transcendent states could help theoretically in the terminal phases of life i.e., escaping from conditioned thinking associated with fear. We wanted to test this general understanding with a particular case.

This is the case study of an elderly woman who underwent dangerous surgery that was not even needed because she felt too intimidated to question her doctor. This study shows that when we are tuned into our Self and our Nature, we can heal anyone who might be in a compromised state of health, including ourselves. We will also explore Wholeness, or the lack of it, and how it relates to disease.

This is a two and one half year report of a compressed and fractured vertebrae from a traumatic spinal injury subsequent to a one and one half year report previously published. The purpose of this study is to provide a non-manufactured drug, non-surgical, Oriental, Occidental, Indian/Tibetan and Native American approach to rehabilitation for a serious spinal injury. Besides stainless steel acupuncture needles used as emergency pain relief, the only material used was the mind, breath, body movement and posture positions. The method was based upon a variety of traditional cultural techniques as well as modern physical exercises for rehabilitation and a scientific case based pattern of reactivity from a Post Traumatic Shock Disorder (PTSD). Daily progress notes over a year and one half, and an understanding of Oriental, Occidental, Euro-American, Native American and Indian/Tibetan treatment provided the framework for recovery. This chapter explores using the Native American Indian practice of calling upon the animal spirit for healing, this is also a tradition in ShaoLin Gung Fu five animal forms as a Qigong practice. These technique are discussed here. The multiplicity of symptoms, changed constantly, arrhythmia, visceral dysfunction, concussion, herniated disks, dislocated ribs, whiplash, cervical and lumbar spine pain symptoms and emotional agitation.A quick recovery was followed by constant regression based upon reactions to posture, weather, noise in environment, travel and stress. It appeared that the effects of Post Traumatic Shock of anxiety, apprehension, fear and agitation became the most difficult to treat and continued after two years and one half year but at a more moderated occurrence.

Athletes can learn how to self-heal from injuries they have sustained. Therefore, we need to create an athletic culture that does not automatically use drugs and surgery as a panacea for injuries. With time, the body heals itself, and the mind can heal the body.
