EMOTIONS and DISEASE

By Rebecca Karchere

Believe it or not, but health problems are caused by emotions 85% of the time. Your physical body is a representation of your subconscious. This statement may be hard to grasp, but it’s true. The Center for Disease Control actually admitted this very truth. Think about it.

I have helped many patients with irritable bowel syndrome and all of them suffered with severe anxiety. I have helped many more patients with constipation and all of them had a difficult time ‘letting go’ of something(s). I can go on and on with examples of other ailments that I have witnessed time and time again in my practice over the past 6 years.

Total Body Modification (TBM) and Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA) are the two modalities that I use to help my patients heal their bodies & mind. Both are based on acupuncture and allow me to get to the root of their health problem. If you are a patient of mine, then you have already experienced what I am talking about. If you have not been in for an exam in the last three months, then you have not experienced TBM. TBM in conjunction with CRA has allowed for quicker results with less supplementation. These modalities allow your body to ‘communicate’ with me about where and how I can help you gain your health back. TBM and CRA can identify the actual emotion you are dealing/suffering with, and what organ or gland it is effecting. They also tell me how to restore your body back to health!

People who come to me for help are aware of the fact that conventional medicine has its limitations. The main reason is that medications and surgery don’t heal the body. Pharmaceutical drugs are very new to us, as they may be only 100 years old, if that, but acupuncture has been around for over 5,000 years! Which would you trust? As an alternative health care professional, I look at the whole person to allow for healing, not the symptom alone. Pure NEWtrition is about a genuine healing for the whole body.

The topic of emotional stress always comes up in my office as a contributing factor to an ailment. So what does this mean for you and I? Well, I encourage my patients to look within themselves when they have an ailment, condition, disease or whatever your want to label ill-health. Ask yourself if you are happy? Are you satisfied with all aspects of your life-marriage, family, job, etc? Your body can give you the answer to your healing, if you listen. So journal, meditate, pray and exercise on a regular basis and allow yourself to feel and think freely. Drugs and medicine don’t allow your body or mind to do that, leading to a life of numbness. Consider your ill health as an actual wake up call that can lead you back to your happiness. Thank your body for showing you that you are not living life to the fullest. Listen to it and don’t shut it off with drugs! Always remember there are alternatives. I strongly recommend the book, ‘You can heal your life’ by Louise Haye and books written by Christiane Northrup. A great scripture to memorize in the book of Proverbs 17:22 is, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine; but a broken spirit drieth the bones".
