Energy Detox: for improved health
Not just the sum of its mechanical parts, the human body is a system of
living energy. The skin discharges about 30 photons per square centimeter
per second. Living cells emit electromagnetic radiation. Every cell in the
body, in fact, functions like a miniature battery. Normally the outside of
a living cell has a positive electrical charge and the inside has a
negative charge. But these charges may momentarily be reversed based on
the action of "ion pumps" on the cell membrane that drive sodium ions out
of the cell and pump potassium ions into the cell. (An ion is an atom or
group of atoms that carry/carries an electrical charge.) This movement of
electrically charged ions at the cellular level is the basic building
block in the complex electromagnetic workings of the body's energies. Ever
muscle we move, every thought we think, every morsel of food we digest
involves electrical activity.
Nonetheless, Western medicine continues to focus on the chemistry of the
body rather than its energies or organizing fields, preserving the
hallowed place of pharmaceutical and surgical treatments over energy
treatments in our health care practices. But leading edge science does not
support this mechanical approach. Specific patterns of electromagnetic
radiation regulate DNA, RNA and all the fundamental processes that
contribute to the unfolding of life.
When electromagnetic imbalances cause the body to produce a chemical to
restore balance, the chemical (often a hormone) is produced in the precise
quantities needed and only where needed. When pharmaceuticals enter the
body, their dosage is based on averages and guesswork and they travel to
and impact parts of the body that are not intended, resulting in so-called
"side effects" (which are the many unwanted effects of these drugs, even
killing millions worldwide every year). In fact, the number one killer in
our society is now the health care system yet that system refuses to
address its own urgent shortcomings...beginning at its very foundation.
Energy interventions are faster, more efficient, and far safer than
chemical and mechanical interventions. While the biochemical paradigm
remains at the foundation of conventional medicine, the energy paradigm is
gaining ground, and for good reason. Electromagnetic frequencies are a
hundred times more efficient than the chemical signals such as hormones
and neurotransmitters in relaying information within biological systems, a
calculation based on research conducted in the 1970s by Oxford University
biophysicist C.W.F. McClare. This is not terribly surprising given that
many of the body's regulatory chemicals, such as hormones travel less than
a centimeter in a second while an electromagnetic wave could have traveled
three-quarters of the distance to the moon in that time.
The signals sent via acupuncture treatments have been shown to produce
information at speeds several orders of magnitude greater than nerve
impulses. Beyond the exponentially greater speed of energy interventions,
most of the information being transferred by chemical diffusion is lost
because so much of the operation is simply making and breaking chemical
bonds. Since energy signals are a hundred times more efficient and
infinitely faster than physical chemical signalling, what kind of
signalling do you think your trillion-celled community prefers? Do the
math!
Energy interventions are
available that can be readily, economically, and non-invasively applied.
The ability to sense and correct energy imbalances has always been tied to
survival. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, you kept the body healthy by
keeping the energy fields that support it healthy. Because disturbed
energies lead to corresponding disturbances in the physical body (somewhat
like the way the energy field carried by a salamander embryo is the
blueprint for the adult), maintaining healthy energies is seen as the path
for maintaining health and preventing illness. In some provinces of
ancient China, in fact, you paid the physician when you were healthy. If
you got sick, the physician would work hard to try to cure your illness,
but you did not have to pay because the physician had failed to keep your
energy field healthy enough to prevent the illness. Try proposing that
arrangement to your local hospital.
Currently there are four
known ways that energy can be systematically introduced into the healing
process. The first is a form of energy that is generated mechanically,
such as the spark you see when you press the button on a gas-grill
lighter. Called piezoelectricity (derived from the Greek word piezein,
which means “to squeeze or press”), it is based on the way that pressure
placed on certain materials is converted into electricity. Current can be
generated by placing pressure on crystalline structures, which include the
bones, tendons, and collagen. This, in fact, is the basis of acupuncture,
acupressure, and the massaging or tapping of energy points, and the
piezoelectrical energy that is produced can be conducted through the
body’s connective tissue. A second way that energy can be used in healing
is by surrounding tissue with an electromagnetic field. When a healer’s
hands or a magnetic device are held over a part of the body, the energy
within the tissue can, at least in theory, be brought back into alignment
and balance. A third approach is to actually send electrical impulses
through the body, as is accomplished with heart pacemakers and pulsed
magnetic stimulation machines. A final approach, which is highly
speculative yet necessary to explain oddities such as “distance healing”
and other non-local effects involves macrolevel “quantum” fields.
While a range of
interventions using electrical devices, magnets, crystals, needles,
aromas, and ingested substances are all used in energy medicine, the tool
used by the largest number of practitioners for intentionally moving and
harmonizing the body’s energies and fields is the human hand. Many of the
interventions found in the field’s standard texts and manuals
are, in fact, hands-on approaches designed to bring balance and
harmony to the body’s energy fields. A practitioner can tap, massage,
pinch, twist, or connect specific energy points on the skin. Because
everyone’s hands carry a measurable electromagnetic charge, specific areas
of the body can be surrounded with the hands to produce a field effect, or
the hands can be used to move and align the body’s energies by tracing
specific energy pathways along the skin.
Other non-invasive and
readily accessible interventions include the use of specific postures and
movements that have beneficial effects on the body’s energy system. Such
non-invasive treatments might routinely be considered in health care
settings, in accord with the principle that the least invasive measure
likely to impact an illness should be the first applied. These low-tech
procedures are not only readily available and easily added to the
practitioner’s toolkit with a modicum of continuing education, their
purported preventive and non-invasive qualities promise that they may also
be strikingly cost-effective in contrast to the skyrocketing price of
conventional medicine and its deleterious impact on the economy.
