Reports I have received from practitioners have constantly affirmed this statement. Chiropractic adjustments hold better and correct easier; Acupuncture treatments work faster; homeopathic remedies act quicker; drugs respond better with fewer side effects; patients recover from surgery quicker and with less complications; massage and rolfing have far greater impact; rehabilitation is faster; emotions, phobias, and mental disorders respond to therapy faster and less traumatically. Why this occurs will become obvious as you read on. 

Normally, the body is constantly switching back and forward between the two ‘brains’ and we go smoothly from simple functions to complex reasoning and visualization. When we overdo it and over stress ourselves, the body ‘switches’ and stops that smooth transition and we seem to ‘lose it’. Our thoughts become cloudy and our focus poor. This is the brain’s way of telling us that we need a break. Need to replenish our glucose levels and rest.

For some people, the stress threshold that causes switching is too close to normal activity. These people ‘switch’ too easily and find themselves constantly losing focus and concentration. Just the stress of having to do an exam will cause them to ‘switch’ and perform badly. This is common with students or people working in stressful, performance related jobs.

This technique improves the threshold that causes the switching. Once it is corrected, the brain switches less easily and the patient’s performance capacity is increased. This techniques is vital in health care because the patient is often stressed from the disease they have or even the stress of going to a practitioner. When the body is in the ‘switched’ mode, it has poor focus and healing ability. The patient will therefore not respond appropriately to the treatment given, often confusing the treatments and giving unusual results or reactions. By ‘unswitching’ the patient at the beginning of a treatment session, the practitioner can be sure that the body will respond appropriately to the techniques administered or prescribed.

It is part of the Essential General Treatments because it can stop the improvement of chronic diseases if the vivaxis is a factor with the patient.

By balancing and correcting any faults between the two hemispheres that the innate wisdom of the body requests, we are able to help the body recover from many serious diseases and malfunctions. We also greatly enhance the general functioning of the brain and the circulation of blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and nerves within it. One of the most common expressions I hear after correction is that the patient suddenly "feels clearer in the head," or "has a greater sense of well-being."

Once this is corrected, the brain will be far more responsive to any therapy. I personally would never touch a patient until I have at least corrected the basic cortexes. I have found it to be that significant. This technique will be enthusiastically covered in more detail later.

Many people seem to think of water as merely a solvent, a packaging material, and means for transportation of other substances in the body. Most emphasis is placed on proteins, minerals and vitamins. The fact is that water is vital in energy production in the cells, metabolism, emotional synthesis, lymph circulation, and in neurotransmission.

Many patients will tell you that they drink plenty of water because they have read about the importance of water. Some of theses patients seem to have fluid retention because they have far too much fluid in their body. Yet, when I test them for hydration, the test says they are very dehydrated! The other problem is that drinking large glasses of water often doesn’t rehydrate them - it just makes them feel sick. This is like the reaction of the person found in the desert and given a large amount of water - the body reacts.

This hydration problem occurs because of poor osmosis in the cell membranes. Much of the fluid is staying between the cells and not transporting through the cell membrane into the intracellular space where the action occurs. The water is in the body but not being used in the right places.

This simple technique corrects that problem and helps the body to utilize the water effectively. It is, therefore, fundamental to any treatment system as the body cannot possibly respond effectively to any treatment when the body is dehydrated. This technique is taught later in this book.

Unhealthy scars block the flow of energy along the meridian energy pathways and inhibit the function of all the areas supplied by that meridian. Unhealthy scars will also upset the energic hologram of the body by interfering with the general balance of energy throughout the body. 

Many health problems have started since a scar has partially blocked the flow of energy through the body. Scars usually do not heal well when there is an emotional upset going on at the time the cut is formed whether it be from an accident or surgery. This is one of the most overlooked and least understood aspects of health care. I have personally treated thousands of scars with amazing results. Often the scar treatment would be all that is necessary to correct the health problem. This very important simple treatment will be covered later and I feel sure will be one of your favorites!
