I read some things about an early 1900’s energy medicine pioneer, Harold Saxton Burr that I would like to share with you.  He was a professor at Yale School of Medicine starting in 1929, published several papers on the nervous system and 93 papers on the role of electricity in human development and disease.

At the time that Burr was doing his research on energy fields, they were very out of fashion.  Now, as scientists are getting interested in energy medicine again, his work is showing its real value.

He believed that “fields of life” are the basic blueprints for all life and that these fields reflect mental and physical conditions.  Therefore the fields were useful for diagnostic purposes.  Obviously he was right because we have MRIs and other devices that use electricity and magnetism to find out what is going on inside our bodies.

In the 1950s he studied trees by hooking them up to recording voltmeters.  He found that he could detect their electric fields and that their fields changed in advance of changing weather and other atmospheric phenomena.

The book I am reading mentions two areas where he focused his attention.  In 1935 he showed how he could detect when a woman ovulated by measuring the electrical potential between one finger from each hand on a daily basis.  Other scientists couldn’t duplicate his experiments, so he kept working until they could.  It turned out that other functions in the body also produced changes in electrical potential.  Once they figured out how to filter them out, they could reliably detect ovulation.  There was even a US patent awarded in 1975 for an electrical circuit based on Burr’s work.

The other area mentioned in this book is in early cancer detection.  Burr was convinced that diseases would manifest in the energy field before symptoms showed up in the body.  His work was later confirmed by other scientists who found that electrical conductance was significantly higher in tumors than in healthy tissue.  In later stages of the disease, the conductance drops as the tissues deteriorate.

His work was started back in the 1930s, more than 70 years ago.

The significance for me is that there is real scientific proof of the existence of the human body’s energy fields, and has been for a long time.  The next thing is to scientifically prove that these energy fields can be manipulated through the use of magnets, far-infrared, and various energy practices like Reiki and Pranic Healing.  I’m sure I will be posting more from this book, since this information came from chapter 1.

BTW, the book I’m reading is Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis by James L. Oschman.

Totally amazed that this has been known and suppressed.

There has always been a bit of a battle between traditional western medicine and so-called alternative approaches to wellness. The most traditional on the one side say that alternative methods (like massage or energy work) might feel nice but they don’t do anything. The more radical on the other side say that doctors only know what the drug companies teach them.

Before I go any farther, I need to tell you that I am a massage therapist and I am very interested in energy work. I have friends who are doctors and I believe in their desire to do good. Western medicine is excellent when it comes to critical life and death situations, such as stitching you back together again after an accident or something. I think their education is lacking when it comes to everyday health, or wellness. Now I know why and I am going to share that with you.

Back in the 1800s there were three scientists with three theories as to the cause of disease. Everyone knows the name of Louis Pasteur but few people have probably heard of Antoine Bechamp or Claude Bernard.

Louis Pasteur pushed the idea that disease is caused by germs.  As you well know, his ideas won out and now we have all sorts of drugs to deal specifically with bacteria and viruses.  We also have things like antibacterial soap to wash our hands, Lysol to kill anything that might be moving on the counter-top, and chlorine to kill your water.  I don’t need to go further into his theories because we live them everyday.

Antoine Bechamp promoted the theory of pleomorphism. He held the view that microorganisms can go through different stages of development and they can evolve into various growth forms within their life cycle.  More simply put, cells can change and become germs which cause disease.

Claude Bernard also believed that microbes can change and further stated that it is the environment that the microbe is in that causes the change.  So, according to Bernard, the environment in our bodies is the cause of all disease, not the microbes themselves.  This is the basis of the wellness field.  Massage, chiropractic, energy healing, sound healing, meditation, you name it, the focus is on improving the environment inside the body.

The thing that you don’t hear about is that Louis Pasteur, before he died, admitted that Claude Bernard was right all along.  Germs don’t matter.  The environment is what’s important.

This gives you a new perspective on chronic conditions like cancer, autism, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimers and other similar disorders .  I’m not a doctor, but take a step back and look at any health problems you may have and think about them from the environment perspective.  Maybe we really are responsible for our own health.

This is why it is important to drink good water, get a great night’s sleep, get enough exercise, meditate, take time for yourself, alkalize your body and all those other things that therapists and healers tell you to do.

I won’t cheapen this with links to products or anything like that because this information is too important.  You can find them if you read my other posts anyway.  I would like your comments though.  What do you think about this?  Let’s start a dialog and see where it goes.

Today I want to focus on mental wellness. You’ve been told about how powerful affirmations are, but have you heard of I AM statements?

Affirmations are statements of what you want to do, be, or have and they work for some and don’t seem to for others. I think the people who get them to work are those who have figured out that they need to write their affirmations in the present tense, as if they were true right now and add in emotion and gratitude. Like Bob Proctor’s statement: “I am so happy and grateful now that…”

That leads to I AM statements. I think I heard about this form of affirmation originally from James Ray and most recently at another personal growth seminar. I AM statements are more of a personal declaration than a goal or affirmation and are therefore more powerful. You start them with “I AM”, “I AM DOING”, or “I HAVE”. They are very much right now. When you say “I AM…” you are firmly telling your subconscious mind exactly how you see yourself right now and it really has no choice but to create that right now. It is very cool stuff. Of course, like any other affirmation, you want to read them and say them out loud two or more times a day, preferably before you fall asleep and right after you wake up in the morning.

You can take them another step and have them printed on a card and mailed to yourself.  Choose a card with an inspirational picture on the front then list all of your I AM statements on the inside.  My wife found a great online service that does this for a fraction of the cost of a regular card.  If you go to her site at www.meaningfulmail.com and leave your name and email address in her contact form she will pay for your first card.  Check it out.

I AM so happy and grateful now that I AM writing I AM statements.
