Topic: Why is energy medicine so effective? Posted: 01 Oct. 07 at 04:58 |
Hi, I have a question... why is it that energy medicine generally (homeopathy, bach flower remedies, reiki, light healing) can be more helpful than other forms of therapy for some people?
For example - I found that Bach Flower remedies helped me more with tiredness than any nutritional or herbal supplement did.

Dear Elisheva
Because energy medicine directly interacts with the vital force(chi-prana) within our body. This vital force (chi-prana) can get imbalanced via trauma (emotional-mental-spiritual) This imbalance then causes manifestations in the "Physical" realm of our body. I am sure you have heard the saying "where the mind goes the body will follow"?
Homeopaths see a direct link to diseases via traumatic onsets,Example; When a loved one dies the family suffers greatly,shock,sadness,grief may consume them causing all sorts of physical/mental/emotional imbalances. The well indicated homeopathic remedy can heal this.
Hope this helps

I agree with Gina. Even our thoughts produce energy. Negative thoughts produce energy that produces blocks in the body producing or causing disease and illnesses. Negative thoughts are proven scientifically to suppress the immune system too. The old proverb "so a man thinkieth so he is" has now been shown to be scientifically right.

Do you have a reference for that, and by that I mean that it goes for serious diseases as well?

Not Belgian, not Flemish, just plain European. Sometimes I long for prehistoric days, but then I remember I would've already died twice back then  .

My notes are tucked away in a very safe place, so safe that I can't put my finger on them.  Here is what I did come up with: “Immunologists are discovering more about the links between mind and body, the mechanisms of psychosomatic disease.”
—National Geographic, June 1986, page 733.
Recognized but little understood is the connection between the immune
system and the brain. Mental stress, bereavement, loneliness, and
depression affect the workings of the white blood cells, or
lymphocytes, and this reduces T-cell activity. “The biological basis of
these interconnections remains much of a mystery. It is clear, however,
that the nervous and immune systems are inextricably linked,
anatomically and chemically.”
—The Incredible Machine, pages 217, 219.
Science magazine reported on the link between the brain and the immune
system: “A great deal of evidence shows that the two systems are
inextricably interconnected. . . . The emerging picture shows that the
immune and nervous systems are highly integrated, able to talk back and
forth to coordinate their activities.”
—March 8, 1985, pages 1190-1192.
In time, strong negative feelings cause illness “a calm heart is life
of the fleshly organism, but jealousy is rottenness to the bones,” and
“a spirit that is stricken makes the bones dry.” The result is an
immune system of diminished capacity, since healthy, moist bone marrow
is needed to produce an abundance of the disease-fighting white blood
cells.
—Proverbs 14:30; 17:22. written 717 BCE EFT is amazing and it unravels the energy between the subconscious and wellness or illness

Would other forms of medicine be effective homeopathically?
I'm thinking of forms of orthomolecular medicine such as amino acids, minerals and vitamins. I know that homeopathy uses mineral remedies, but could vitamins and amino acids work homeopathically also?
Example: Taking large amounts of vitamin B6 (more than 200 mg a day), or taking it for a long time, can lead to a loss of feeling in the arms and legs - known as peripheral neuropathy. Could homeopathic Vitamin B6 reverse peripheral neuropathy?

Deep Gully, you make some good points here.
Lets looks at the example of Vit B6 you have used. Homeopathic B6 is
not the answer to reverse the symptoms or in this case of peripheral
neuropathy. Chances are the person showing signs of Vit B 6
deficiency has reasons for the low Vit B6 in their body.
Perhaps the real cause is worry and the body needs more Vit B 6 in a natural form
or
not eating many vegetables
or
the cause could be a food allergy say to wheat causing retention of fluids often related to a Vit B6 deficency
B6 is often given for swelling perhaps of the ankles. In this kind of
case to give a herbal remedy not the Vit B6 by itself is much more
successful. Here is why, the herb has all the synergistic nutrients
that go with the B6 and enable the B 6 to be utilized and work in the
body.
Also the B6 in the herbal remedy is in a form that the body can use.
Why is natural herbal B6 better? It is in a form the body uses.
Supplements
of B6 are not. Supplements of Vit B6 are usually pyrodoxine HCH. 60%
of the vitamin supplement is HCl (hydrochloricacid) This is not B6 at
all. The the 40% is Vit B6 in the form of pyrodoxine. Pyrodoxin is
not what the body uses. It needs to make an enzyme change to make the
pyrodoxin into pyrodoxal-5-phosphate that the body can use, chances are
that if the body is low in B6 it can't make the enzyme change and you
now are over loading the body with a foreign substance. So after a
period of time you get toxin symptoms that the well meaning Vit B6
supplement has become a poison to the body doing damage instead of
good. In a healthy person perhaps only 10% of the pyrodoxin is
converted to usable Vit B6. The intentions were good, but not the
results.
| Could homeopathic Vitamin B6 reverse peripheral neuropathy? |
No.... but
classical homeopathy can. This is by taking the whole case history of
the patient and prescribing a remedy to personally fit the patient.
The patient needs to eat a nutritious diet like this click here and get
the essential fatty acids in their diet, also with no animal fat for
healing, especially the nerve fiber. For example in the case history
of the patient eating habits are considered and inherited weaknesses,
history of trauma and mental state are all considered to get the right
remedy. An actual case: after eighteen years a patient with peripheral
neuropathy was healed in six months with classical homeopathy.

Carol, I agree with you 100%. As an RN, I have seen the connection too many times. I have watched patients will themselves to death. I have also seen the power of positive thinking. The mind is a powerful thing. The law of attraction is in constant motion.

Energy medicine or therapy is effective because it helps to restore the normal balance of the body by targeting the natural energy fields of the body, focusing on changes in
normal patterns that are often created by conditions like the chronic
pain of arthritis.
