In the beginning, I want to introduce
myself: I'm a doctor of medicine for about
20 years now and very interested in
Neurology and Orthopedics. Since 5 years I
work as an assistant medical director in a
rehabilitation center in Germany.
I know a lot about this dangerous illness
and am venerating the way people live with
ALS. This is one of the serioust
neurological illnesses.
My brother and my Mother suffer from
spastical spinalparalysis since 1985. In
the beginning was no more than a little
unsteadiness in walking. Meanwhile, my
brother has a broad increase of spastic in
his legs that it has become difficult to
walk for long periods. My mother cannot
leave the house anymore. She additionally
suffers from Parkinson's disease since
1999.
We really tried a lot of medical therapy,
we tried Botox, nothing really made it
better.
In August 06, we heared about the chance
of spiritual healing. In the beginning, I
was very critical about this. But then we
decided to give a chance to this way of
healing. At first, for both was created an
individual profile to find out, how far
healing could get.
Meanwhile my brother can walk very much
better, he feels, that strength comes back
to the muscles. My mother is very glad
that she lost all symptoms of Parkinson's
disease. Now she has the possibility to
extend the distance she can go.
We are all very happy about this, we're
going from strength to strength. There is
a lot of healing to do in their nervous
system, that takes a lot of time.
I'm telling you our story to show, that
there may be ways to heal or even make the
situation better than it is on alternative
ways.
As I told you, I had a lot of problems
with this, but I changed my mind
completely.
If you're interested in this and want to
have further informations, don't hesitate
to ask.

Energy healing?!!! Take a trip to www.quackwatch.com
or randi.org before you spend any money
on that type of treatment.
It is a pseudo-science. The "energy" they
talk about cannot be measured. I've
tested "Masters" of energy work myself,
and they fall on their face when asked to
demonstrate their abilities under
scientific conditions. I'm not saying
they are frauds, but they are deluded!
There is no proof it works....only
anecdotal. Another word for anecdotal is
"placebo effect".
Look at other alternatives.

I do believe that energy has been recorded
as the amount heat the body produces in
states of meditation. Or energy can also
be measure magnetically as we each have a
physical magnetic field that surrounds the
body. Energy can also be measured
electrically and neurologically. We're
walking electrons, baby!

Please tell me how "energy" can be
measured.
Can you measure Chi? Can you measure the
"bad energy" a Reiki master removes from a
patient? Where can I buy such a device?

I wonder if there is such a device. It
seems to me that it would depend on the
atunement of a person at any given point
in time.

First, the nervous system is a complex
instrument of which we only understand may
2-3% of its mechanisms. I deem it
completely plausible for a number of
healings to occur within the nervous
system.
Physiological evidence of the conductivity
of the nervous system during states of
meditation (which I believe that energy
healers can access) include the number of
hertz traveling across the brain and are
measured with Electroencephalographic
(EEG) recordings.
Harvard
Medical continues to study monks in a
clinical setting to better understand what
is happening.
In the hypometabolic state induced by
meditation, catecholamine levels drop,
galvanic skin resistance markedly
increases, increased cerebral profusion is
present, respiration rate and minute
volume decrease significantly without
significant change in arterial PO2 and
PCO2; there is also decreased vascular
resistance, lowered oxygen and CO2
consumption, and a marked decline in blood
lactate. The organism remains awake and
vigilant, but the physical body goes into
a state of deep muscle relaxation Hypermetabolism
