Reiki is one of the more widely known forms of healing through direct application of Chi, or a force very similar to Chi for it may be that Chi is different from the energy used by Reiki.  Chi is the term used by the Chinese mystics and martial artists for the underlying force the Universe is made of. 

Mystics in all cultures have talked about the physical universe being made of an underlying simpler form of something, much as modern physics research is now coming to understand the Universe is made of energy which is subject to (or affected by) thought.  Just as modern physics says this energy is affected by thought the mystics also say this underlying form is affected by thought, going so far as to claim we create our own reality from our thinking and the thoughts we share between each of us every day.

How Reiki Heals
In its simplest form using Reiki is simply the practitioner placing their hands on the recipient with the intent of bringing healing, and willing for Reiki energy to flow. There is also such a thing as distance healing.

If you have unexplained systemic symptoms and you can’t find out why, then you may want to look into your mercury toxicity status. Sam Adkins, The Homeopathic Coach, takes a look at why this is, what effects mercury has on the body, and what you can do about it.

Recently I have been really concerned about the number of times Mercury comes up as an issue for patients and I have found that most people are not informed about this very important topic. This article is designed to spread the word so that if YOU or your friends and family have an unexplained health issue then they can at least determine whether heavy metal toxicity is a contributory factor.

Please share this article as much as you can to spread the word!

How toxic is Mercury?
Mercury is extremely toxic. In fact the WHO has stated that no level of mercury is safe. Even 2 PPB (parts per billion) in water would make it undrinkable. As soon as the body detects mercury in the blood it aims to eliminate it as soon as possible. Your body can get rid of mercury but when the mercury builds up beyond a certain level it stops eliminating it and instead stores it in every tissue type in the body.

So How Can You be Exposed to Mercury?
There are many sources of mercury exposure.

Vaccines
Until 2001 in Australia, Thimerosol (a mercury preservative) was used in all vaccines. It has since been removed in all standard childhood vaccines but is still present in many adult ones. To put this in context, although 2 PPB of Mercury in water makes water undrinkable, our governments considered it acceptable to inject our babies with the equivalent of 50,000 ppb in each vaccine phial. If a doctor drops the vaccine vial on the floor of the surgery, the spillage is treated as toxic waste!

Cosmetics
Some skin whitening products use Mercury as an active ingredient and it is readily absorbed into the bloodstream via the skin.

Fluorescent Bulbs
Mercury is used either as a vapour or as elemental mercury in these bulbs. When the bulbs are broken the mercury is released and pollutes the environment and finds itself into water ways.

Fish
You are likely to be aware of the issue of Mercury in fish. The levels of mercury increase as the fish get larger as they are further up the food chain and are therefore accumulating more Mercury from eating contaminated smaller fish. It is advised to only eat the following fish no more than once a week for a healthy adult and chronically ill people, children and pregnant and nursing mothers should avoid the following fish:

• Shark
• Marlin
• Swordfish
• Large Tuna

Dental Amalgam Fillings
This is the big one! The mercury contained in amalgam fillings is not inert and is released to varying degrees depending on the activity. The amount of mercury released is directly proportional to the temperature, so drinking hot liquids releases significantly more mercury than cold drinks. When you chew, drink, grind your teeth, mercury is released and absorbed directly through the delicate lining of the mouth and stomach. Some studies have shown mercury to build up in the brain, pituitary and adrenal glands. Other studies have found it builds up in the kidneys, liver and brain of human foetuses and can also be passed to infants via breastmilk.

How do you determine Mercury Toxicity?
The most reliable way to find this out is with a Hair Mineral Analysis. Because mercury is stored in the tissues, an analysis of your recent hair growth can give reliable indicators of your toxicity levels. A good Homeopath, Naturopath, or Nutritionist can order this test for you.

What are the Symptoms of Mercury Toxicity?
The body stores mercury in many different tissues so Mercury Poisoning or Toxicity can result in symptoms in most body systems:

• Psychological disturbances
• Digestive Tract problems
• Cardiovascular issues
• Respiratory issues
• Neurological issues

Mercury Toxicity has been implicated in the rise of Autism and some autistic children show significant improvement when mercury is removed from their bodies.

What happens to Mercury in my Body?
Mercury attaches to proteins and enzymes altering their function causing cell damage or cell death. Thus it can weaken the immune system and deplete the body of one of the most important antioxidants – Glutathione. When the body removes mercury, it uses two molecules of Glutathione to remove every single atom, hence the depletion effect.

What does this mean for my Homeopathic Treatment?
Sometimes Homeopathic treatment that has previously been successful does not work or it stops working and the patient case appears to be ‘stuck’. This can sometimes be a result of a heavy metal toxicity such as Mercury.

What can I do?
If you have a Hair Mineral Analysis and determine that you do have mercury toxicity and you have mercury amalgam fillings you might want to consider their removal. This has to be done extremely carefully and with a proper procedure including the use of a rubber dam, breathing apparatus (to prevent ingestion of the mercury vapour) , and be carried out by a dentist highly experienced in this area. Go here for a list of USA dentists who can do this safely for you or try here for Australia.

There are also means of removing mercury from your body with the use of chemicals (called Chelation therapy) and this needs to be carried out by a specialist.

What Can Homeopathy Do to Help?
Homeopaths know how to use gentle homeopathic medicines to encourage the body to chelete or eliminate the excess Mercury. Mercury used to be used in the 19th century as a regular conventional medicine treatment for various ailments and so the Homeopathic literature and case studies from that time include many cases of mercury toxicity. There are around 96 Homeopathic medicines that are suitable for treating Mercury toxicity and your Homeopath will select the most appropriate one based on your symptoms. This means your body will achieve the elimination itself so the process is safe and gentle. Then a repeated hair Mineral Analysis can show the positive results.

Remember that blood tests cannot determine your tissue levels of Mercury and any procedure to remove mercury should be carried out by a highly experienced and qualified practitioner.

If You have had experience with Mercury toxicity I would love to hear from you.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) can be a simple acupressure technique to releasing bad emotions.

You feel negative thoughts in the body, so you’ve got to look to the body to work on them. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a method to do this.

It is easy to release a negative feeling right this moment with this video. With this preliminary training video, we show you a bit about how exactly Tapping operates and guide you through your first couple of trainings.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How hard must I tap?

A: Tap lightly, just so that you feel it. The intention of the tapping is usually to take your attention to several areas of your body, it truly succeeds if you just imagine tapping – as long as your attention is drawn to the appropriate points.

Q: How can I be certain we are selecting the right points?

A: Use 2 fingers to be sure you cover the points. In some cases the point will ‘feel’ right, as if there can be a bit of a indent inside the skin or else the point might be unusually vulnerable. It is all connected and so you don’t have to be one hundred percent perfect.

Q: You have skipped out points which Gary Craig shows!

A: Yes. Be content to tap those too, I left them out to help make the video clip simple and it seems to work fine without them. Should you find the video doesn’t work for you, try tapping the extra points – around the top-middle of the head, and slightly below the armpit.

Q: Is the actual sequence vital?

A: Absolutely no. You can actually tap the points in any order. Actually you just have to tap 1 or 2 of the points for each specific feeling, just you have no easy strategy to realize which point so you might as well tap them all.

But what is tinnitus? Tinnitus is defined in medicine as ringing or buzzing in the ears. The sounds, which only patients can hear, can have a lot of different forms like high-frequency ringing or lowfrequency buzzing. All kind of noises are imaginable. For people, who suffer in tinnitus, this is of course often very bothering and affects the persons life considerably.

Causes for tinnitus are very manifold. Mostly tinnitus is caused by an extreme noise pollution. For example loud music in discotheques or at a rock concert is a quite common cause. But also psychological problems like stress can lead to tinnitus.

So to be able to cure tinnitus at first it is necessary to find the causes for it and to eliminate these causes. Only then a therapy can be promising. There are lots of different methods of treatment for tinnitus. However, every patient will react on them differently and so it is not possible to describe one method which will always help.

But one promising method, which is often disregarded, is acupuncture. Personal stories of tinnitus patients, who are treated with acupuncture, show that this method of treatment can be a reasonable alternative in comparison with orthodox medicine. In ear acupuncture special points at the patients ears are treated with needles. Normally such a treatment lasts for several months. But in most cases at least a decrease of the bothering noise is recognisable. Often it can be cured totally.

So a treatment of tinnitus with acupuncture should always be considered and discussed with an ear specialist.

1) Homeopathic medicines are nothing more than sugar pill that contain no measurable substance.

Certain homeopathic medicines have no measurable substance. However, many remedies do have measurable substances. In medicine that is 24X or 12C has no measurable substance. However, some medicine potency such as 6X, 6C, 12X will have a measurable substance.

2) Homeopathy has never been successful in large scale well designed trials. Trials have only worked when homeopaths were doing the trials or poorly designed trials with quite a bit of author’s bias.

Trials in Homeopathy is a very mixed bag. Sometimes people are looking at the wrong information source. Many skeptics will take successful trials and point out that when looking at larger trials in the study, homeopathy does not seem to work. Although, the conclusions of the authors were that homeopathy seems to works better than a placebo.

However, some trials that were successful were fairly large. Oscillococcinum trials were quite large and well designed but still yielded a positive result in shortening the flu duration. Similar studies with Osccillococcinum were replicated as well. The idea that homeopathic remedies have never been successful in a large scale well designed trial is not true.

3) Homeopathy should not be used to treat life threatening diseases.

Homeopathy can treat life threatening diseases with the help of a well trained homeopathic physician. Also, the general medical doctor and other specialists involved in treating the disease should be included on the treatment plan. Medical doctors should always be seen if you have a life threatening illness. Homeopathy can not cure all life threatening diseases.

Many people with life threatening diseases have fared well with Homeopathy. Homeopathy malaria trials show that in trials that homeopathic medicine worked as well as conventional medicine in treating people with malaria.

4) Homeopathy and modern medicine can not work together

Homeopathy can be quite complementary to modern medicine.Many patients under going chemotherapy have seen their side effects reduced when taking homeopathic remedies. Trials with reduction of cancer treatments provided encouraging results.

5) Homeopathy, Herbal, and Ayurvedic medicine are similar.

Homeopathy, Herbal and Ayurvedic are forms of alternative medicine but these forms of medicine are not similar in any other way. Homeopathy use diluted substances to treat patients. Every medicine has been diluted in water or alcohol.

Herbal medicine is medicine based on the use of plants. Ayurvedic is an ancient system of medicine started in India that operates with the theory that all materials of vegetable, animal, and mineral origin have some medicinal value.

Ayurvedic use these materials to treat patients. Ayurvedic and homeopathic medicines are used quite a bit in India so that creates some confusion in people thinking they are the same thing.

6) Homeopathy is slow to work

Acute conditions such as flu, colds, motion sickness and pain relief can be treated quickly using homeopathic medicines. Chronic conditions are slow to work because they are complicated to treat. Chronic conditions would be acne, eczema, irritable bowel syndrome and other conditions will take longer to treat.

7) Homeopathy is only for human use.

Actually, petmeds is one of the fastest growing use of homeopathic products. Homeopathy offers a safe and inexpensive way to treat your pet of acute conditions such as allergies, anxiety and joint stress relief.

8) You can get a book on Homeopathy and treat yourself.

This may be the case in acute conditions such as cold and flu. However, more complicated and chronic cases will require you to see a homeopathic doctor. Chronic cases involve generally taking quite a few remedies in the course of a treatment. A book can not tell you which homeopathic remedies to take and how much to take when your condition starts to improve or worsen.

9) Homeopathic remedies are not widely available.

This may have been true a few years ago. However, many remedies can be found pretty much all over the US. Walmart, CVS Pharmacy, Target and larger retailers carry combination homeopathic remedies for acute conditions such as cold and flu and insomnia.

Single remedies which homeopaths claim to work the best are not as readily available. These remedies can be found in health food stores, natural pharmacies or on the Internet. They are more specialized and generally most people taking single remedies have some homeopathic knowledge or a doctor has prescribed that medicine.

10) All homeopathic remedies work the same on all people.

Homeopathy works different on different people. Classical homeopathy treats different individuals with different remedies according to their personality type. One person may use one remedy to treat a illness, while another person would use a different remedy to treat the same illness.

Homeopathy assumes everyone is different so using the same remedy to treat everyone will not work according to Classical Homeopathy principals. Modern medicine generally gives everyone the same medicine for general conditions.

Q: How can I be sure I am finding the right points?

A: Use two fingers to make sure you cover the points. Sometimes the point will ‘feel’ right, as if there is a slight indent in the skin or the point is particularly sensitive. It’s all connected so you don’t have to be 100% accurate.

Q: Is the sequence important?

A: No. You can tap the points in any order. In fact you only need to tap one or two of the points for each particular feeling. It’s just you have no easy way to know which point so you might as well tap them all.

Q: I am a skeptic! / You are a charlatan!

A: Thanks. Tapping is perfectly explainable scientifically but it does go beyond most people’s understanding. It really does work though, and the best way to prove that to yourself is to try it and watch your negative feelings disappear.
