Mindhacks

Many people argue that medicine is misrepresenting disease care as healthcare. Traditional medical practices throughout history have tended to focus on the physical external state of the body concentrating on the use drugs and technology. I’ve been looking into healing techniques that recognize what it means to be a spiritual human being, and to deliver healthcare.

Spirituality is a major issue that we are trying to develop in this community and from time to time we get sent high caliber articles that have to be shared.

I recently received a great email that introduced the healing technique of Neural Depolarization that Kathy Oddenino has been practicing for way over 20 yrs.

Neural Depolarization n.

“A unique spiritual energy technique used to balance the nervous system, stop pain, balance our energy flow, and prevent disease.”

Here’s Kathy explaining her technique:

What is Neural Depolarization, (NDP™)?

By Kathy Oddenino, R.N.

NDP™ Explained

NDP (Neural Depolarization) is a form of internal energy therapy that I use (and trademarked) to treat all diseases, from all forms of cancer, eye diseases such as glaucoma, dyslexia, all forms of pain, including fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel syndrome, to Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and many more.

To truly understand how NDP works, we must understand the design of our physical body as four major nervous systems that function from and through the energy of our internal chemical design. What we think, eat, drink, and breathe supports our internal chemical design when we eat, drink, and breathe from the purity of Nature.

We can stay healthy and we should live for hundreds of years when we recognize the relationship of our human design to the design of Earth and the Universe. When we eat “junk food” and depend upon drugs, surgery, and medicine to keep us healthy, we cannot restore the energy within our physical body to stay healthy and happy because we will not have the necessary chemicals within our human body to maintain our health and happiness.

Kathy’s Background

I worked with the medical world as a nurse for 40 years. I knew I wanted to be a nurse when I was 2 years old, and I love the compassion and healing care nurses can provide. In 1984 I began teaching people how to heal themselves because I saw medicine focusing more and more on drugs and technology and away from the patient and the proven Hippocratic focus of healing.

Modern Medicine going against the Hippocratic Oath

Our scientific knowledge can help us much more efficiently when we understand our human design. Without a firm commitment to the Hippocratic oath of “do no harm,” technology, research, and medication do more harm than good, to our bank accounts as well as our bodies. Evidence of this is everywhere when we are willing to see it and are open to change.

Why did Hippocrates understand health better than modern-day physicians do? The design and function of the nervous system, and the importance of eating pure food and drinking water, are still key focuses that are usually last on the list of medical attention and advice if they come up at all.

Neural Depolarization works with all forms of disease by working with the four major nervous systems that allow our human body to function appropriately and to heal itself.

Understanding Nature

 Before we can understand the internal workings of NDP as an energy therapy, we must understand that we live and stay healthy from the air, water, and foods of Nature. We get “sick” when we attempt to live on air, water, and foods that are not from a “clean Nature.”

Once man interferes with what Nature produces, we find ourselves creating chronic and terminal diseases, and not realizing what we are doing to make ourselves sick to death. For example, most municipal water plants add fluoride to our water.

Many bottled waters come from municipal water plants. Fluoride is a poison, so why would we choose to drink fluoride in our water for a whole lifetime? Foods that are grown with poisons in the soil and poisons that are sprayed onto the plants destroy our nervous system and our internal cellular environment.

Energy within the Physical Body

 As human beings, we are energy and we are matter. Einstein opened a door for us to think about ourselves differently when he presented the equation E=MC². The chemical matter that we create in our body is responsible for supporting the energy within our physical body. Neural Depolarization can balance out the energy of the cells, organs, and nerves that make up our human body.

But if we continuously destroy ourselves by giving our body food, water, air, and other chemicals that cannot support the chemical design of our cells, then we simultaneously destroy the chemical energy of our body, which allows us to become sick with multiple diseases and die. When we stop poisoning our food, water, and air, we will begin to live for hundreds of years in each lifetime.

When we are willing to eat only organic foods, drink pure water, and breathe pure air, we can heal ourselves more quickly with Neural Depolarization, which helps to release the foreign chemicals from our cells and to balance the energy within the cell which allows our body to heal itself. This is the best Health Care Plan we can find, and this plan offers us the Insurance that we are giving our body what we need to stay healthy, happy, and active.

Many diseases are not true disease, but they are caused by energy blockages. “Diseases” such as glaucoma, dyslexia, autism, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, and cancer are examples of diseases that are created from nerve and cellular chemical blockages. It is time for us to look at our diseases differently and to learn how to protect ourselves from food, water, and air that does not support us in health.

The more intense a disease is, such as cancer and MS, the longer it takes the disease to respond to Neural Depolarization, but the body will respond if the individual is conscientious about their food, air, and water replacements. As my clients say, “The proof is in the pudding!”

Kathy Oddenino, R.N. teaches Spiritual Philosophy, Neural Depolarization™, and is the author of 8 books.

Why not share an article on healing or spirituality. . .

We dug up an old video of Burt Goldman, the famous Silva Method instructor and master of multiple healing arts. In this 4 minute video, Burt explains the Chinese art of Qi Gong and demonstrates how he uses it to heal a lady of a persistent pain in the knee.

Burt explains that all healing comes from within - he is not the healer - he simply lets the lady’s own mind do the trick.

He explains that the best healings occur fast - within seconds.

What I found remarkable about the clip is how fast it took Burt to actually apply the Qi Gong healing to his subject.

Watch it and learn from a master.

Editor’s Note: I came across this wonderful article on the blog RealitySeeds.com. I’m republishing the intro here. I really enjoyed the RealitySeeds blog and hope to link to more articles on it shortly. This article of one of several about How to “Consciously Create and Manifest Any Reality”. In this case,  Health.

For thousands of years humans have been trying to cure illnesses afflicting body and mind. Endless types and strands of disorders seem to be ever changing and constantly mutating into more complex forms.

We try hard to study and understand them with a scientific methodology, but we often have hard time making progress because our scientific models fail to describe much detail of how the human body works. While the science of health is making great steps forward, there is still a lot of guess work involved in applied medicine that often is more like a form of art based on the experience and gut feelings of the doctors, than a science with clear rules.

When we study illness, we notice the symptoms and we explore them; this research gives us clues on how to fix the symptoms, and often we discover possible causes and we attemp to attack these as well. This approach is similar to the approach we take when a car breaks, except that it is much more difficult given how complex the physical body is. It often works, but often doesn’t fix the cause, and the illness comes back to hunt us again. Many times things just resolve themselves and we have no idea what the problem was, and why it is gone.

I remember when I was a teenager I started having troubles breathing at night. I was a young and healthy, much into all kinds of sports and always active. Nevertheless, this night breathing problem was bothering me a great deal. I went to my doctor. He asked me if I had that problem only at night, which I did. He also asked me if I had that problem while in vacation somewhere else, or if I had any known allergies. I answered “no” to both questions. In fact, I could sleep just fine while in vacation, and I had no known allergies. He asked me if I spent much time in my room, which I did. That’s all he needed to hear. His prescription was “Change your room around! Move the furniture, take whatever is on the walls and change it with something new, paint the room with a different color.

In short, make it feel new”. I thought it was an odd cure for my problem, but he is a very experienced doctor and I trusted him. Well, believe it or not, that “cure” fixed my problem, which never came back again. Later he explained that I had problems breathing because I was associating my room with something bad that happened in my life, putting me in a negative state of mind and stress. Changing the room around was a way to deactivate these negative memories.

He didn’t really understand all the details of why that negative state of mind was causing the problems with the breathing; he just knew that it worked that way.

What is the real cause of illness? Most important, why is the body sometimes unable to fix itself?

We know that parts of the body completely regenerate themselves every day, some parts every few weeks, others every few month and a handful every couple of years. In other words, today you have a completely different body that you had a couple of years ago. It completely regenerated itself.

The body is able to regenerate because it has a complete description of itself stored in the DNA, which is spread across all of its parts. If that description is there, and if the body can regenerate so well, why is it often not able to fight illnesses? It seems like the diseased areas should just be discarded and regenerated. Also, if your have a completely new body every few years, why do we carry physical conditions sometimes for a lifetime?

The reason is that the source of all illnesses is not inside the body, and is not in some external agent. All of these supposed causes are really just the symptoms of the real issue. The source of illness is in the mind. The Law of attraction teaches us that your thoughts create your reality, including all illnesses.

To be more specific, what causes illness is stress. When I say “stress” don’t imagine a busy day, or an exhausting run to catch a bus. That’s not stress, but just a high level of activity; in fact, you can be very busy and tired and also in a positive mental status at the same time. So, what is stress? Stress is a temporary or a prolonged coexistence of active contrasting beliefs, activated by the current situation, and clashing one against the other.

Contrasting beliefs have the effect of pulling your sub-conscious in two or more directions. The result is stress and, as a consequence, the development of physical illness.

Contrasting beliefs become stress only when the current life situation makes them active concurrently. In these cases, the sub-conscious finds itself wiuth two contrasting rules that is trying to apply at the same time, and it ends up not knowing what to do. It goes in a vicious loop that creates a negative and confusing conscious state of mind directed inward, into the body. The super-conscious takes note of this negative attention inwards and does what you are asking: it creates a negative and confusing reality inside your physical body. In other words, it generates illness.

I’ll tell you a fantasy story, as an example of how it works.

by Rick Reilly for Sports Illustrated Issue date: June 20, 2005, p. 88

I try to be a good father. Give my kids mulligans. Work nights to pay for their text messaging. Take them to swimsuit shoots.

But compared with Dick Hoyt, I’m lousy.

Eighty-five times he’s pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in marathons. Eight times he’s not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a wheelchair but also towed him 2.4 miles in a dinghy while swimming and pedaled him 112 miles in a seat on the handlebars — all in the same day.

Dick’s also pulled him cross-country skiing, taken him on his back mountain climbing and once hauled him across the U.S. on a bike. Makes taking your son bowling look a little lame, right?

And what has Rick done for his father? Not much — except save his life.

This love story began in Winchester, Mass., 43 years ago, when Rick was strangled by the umbilical cord during birth, leaving him brain-damaged and unable to control his limbs.

“He’ll be a vegetable the rest of his life,” Dick says doctors told him and his wife, Judy, when Rick was nine months old. “Put him in an institution.”

But the Hoyts weren’t buying it. They noticed the way Rick’s eyes followed them around the room. When Rick was 11 they took him to the engineering department at Tufts University and asked if there was anything to help the boy communicate. “No way,” Dick says he was told. “There’s nothing going on in his brain.”

“Tell him a joke,” Dick countered. They did. Rick laughed. Turns out a lot was going on in his brain.

Rigged up with a computer that allowed him to control the cursor by touching a switch with the side of his head, Rick was finally able to communicate. First words? “Go Bruins!” And after a high school classmate was paralyzed in an accident and the school organized a charity run for him, Rick pecked out, “Dad, I want to do that.”

Yeah, right. How was Dick, a self-described “porker” who never ran more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? Still, he tried. “Then it was me who was handicapped,” Dick says. “I was sore for two weeks.”

That day changed Rick’s life. “Dad,” he typed, “when we were running, it felt like I wasn’t disabled anymore!”

And that sentence changed Dick’s life. He became obsessed with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. He got into such hard-belly shape that he and Rick were ready to try the 1979 Boston Marathon.

“No way,” Dick was told by a race official. The Hoyts weren’t quite a single runner, and they weren’t quite a wheelchair competitor. For a few years Dick and Rick just joined the massive field and ran anyway, then they found a way to get into the race officially: In 1983 they ran another marathon so fast they made the qualifying time for Boston the following year.

Then somebody said, “Hey, Dick, why not a triathlon?”

How’s a guy who never learned to swim and hadn’t ridden a bike since he was six going to haul his 110-pound kid through a triathlon? Still, Dick tried.

Now they’ve done 212 triathlons, including four grueling 15-hour Ironmans in Hawaii. It must be a buzzkill to be a 25-year-old stud getting passed by an old guy towing a grown man in a dinghy, don’t you think?

Hey, Dick, why not see how you’d do on your own? “No way,” he says. Dick does it purely for “the awesome feeling” he gets seeing Rick with a cantaloupe smile as they run, swim and ride together.

This year, at ages 65 and 43, Dick and Rick finished their 24th Boston Marathon, in 5,083rd place out of more than 20,000 starters. Their best time? Two hours, 40 minutes in 1992 — only 35 minutes off the world record, which, in case you don’t keep track of these things, happens to be held by a guy who was not pushing another man in a wheelchair at the time.

“No question about it,” Rick types. “My dad is the Father of the Century.”

And Dick got something else out of all this too. Two years ago he had a mild heart attack during a race. Doctors found that one of his arteries was 95% clogged. “If you hadn’t been in such great shape,” one doctor told him, “you probably would’ve died 15 years ago.”

So, in a way, Dick and Rick saved each other’s life.

Rick, who has his own apartment (he gets home care) and works in Boston, and Dick, retired from the military and living in Holland, Mass., always find ways to be together. They give speeches around the country and compete in some backbreaking race every weekend, including this Father’s Day.

That night, Rick will buy his dad dinner, but the thing he really wants to give him is a gift he can never buy.

“The thing I’d most like,” Rick types, “is that my dad sit in the chair and I push him once.”

About the Video:

A glimpse of the remarkable father-son bond of Dick and Rick Hoyt, and their inspirational journey together in a triathlon and life itself. The goal of Team Hoyt is to integrate the physically challenged into everyday life. One way to accomplish this is to educate the able-bodied, making them more aware of the issues that the disabled face every day. Another is by actively helping the disabled to participate in activities that would otherwise be inaccessible to them. Team Hoyt targets both of these areas. Song: “I Can Only Imagine” by Mercy Me

From Forbes Magazine contributor Vanessa Gisquet

Woody Allen once said, “I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work…I want to achieve it through not dying.”

Much to humanity’s collective dismay, there is no way to defy death. But you can try.

Many people think they know what’s good for them. Who wouldn’t like to think that being rich, sleeping with supermodels and eating caviar every day would increase their longevity.

After all, Hugh Hefner looks pretty good for a man of 78. But this is more wishful thinking than practical science.

If you really want to live longer, then you can start with your attitude. Your way of thinking can not only impact the quality of your life, but also how long you actually live.

In 2002, researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., found that optimistic people decreased their risk of early death by 50% compared with those who leaned more towards pessimism.

“The exact mechanism of how personality acts as a risk factor for early death or poorer health is unclear,” says Dr. Toshihiko Maruta, the main investigator in the study. Most likely, it has to do with the fact that pessimists have an increased chance for future problems with their physical health, career achievements and emotional stress–particularly depression.

“Yet another possibility could be more directly biological, like changes in the immune system,” Maruta adds.

Besides optimism, are there other personality traits that can help us live longer, healthier lives? According to Dr. Howard Friedman, a psychologist at the University of California at Riverside, conscientiousness is related to mortality in a significant way. The Terman Life-Cycle Study, which ran from 1921 to 1991, examined an array of factors like personality, habits, social relations, education, physical activites and cause of death.

“Those low on adult conscientiousness died sooner,” Friedman concluded. Conscientiousness does not mean looking both ways before crossing the street; it means looking both ways when the light turns green so you don’t accidentally run down some slow-moving pedestrian.

Beyond that, a conscientious person’s long-living qualities probably have to do with the fact that they are predisposed to constructively reacting to emotional and social situations, and are more likely to create work and living environments that promote good health.

Besides looking at the world through rosier-colored glasses, there are also more traditional practices that the aspiring centenarian can take. People should stop smoking, eat a balanced diet and maintain a healthy weight. While these may sound “nannyish,” they are factors that cannot be overlooked. This might not sound like much fun, but it’s a lot more fun than dying.

Research shows that obesity, for example, contributes to a slew of medical conditions, including diabetes, heart disease and various cancers. So powerful are certain lifestyle choices that recommended diets along with maintenance of physical activity and appropriate body mass can, over time, reduce the incidence of cancer by 30% to 40%, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research.

Animal lovers will be happy to know that having a pet can add years to your life, as well. One of the first studies in this arena, which appeared in Public Health Reports in 1980, showed that the survival rates of heart attack victims who had a pet were 28% higher than those of patients who didn’t have an animal companion. “The health effects seem to be very real and by no means mystical,” says Alan Beck, director of the Center for the Human-Animal Bond at Purdue University. “Contact with companion animals triggers a relaxation response,” he says.

Rebecca Johnson, a professor of gerontological nursing at the University of Missouri at Columbia, showed that interaction with pets does, in fact, reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol. The ability of companion pets to reduce our overall stress level probably accounts for most of their life-extending qualities.

“For many people, pets also provide a reason to get moving,” adds Johnson. How many people, after all, would actually get any exercise if it weren’t for their over-enthusiastic dog?

To many people, quality of life is equally as important as life span. It is a good thing, then, that many of the things that can improve your longevity can also improve your quality of life.
