Lymphedema
Suzanne Somers, a well-known health pioneer and best-selling author, has published several books over the past years revealing groundbreaking medical approaches that are used in daily practice by progressive physicians around the US.
She has written of her use of biofeedback combined with focused field stimulation in Breakthrough, Knockout, and Bombshell, and revealed how this modality helped her with lymphedema by alleviating the swelling and pain from her left axilla and left breast using this therapeutic approach. Interestingly, her main reaction area was not around the swelling, but in the right lower quadrant where the focused field stimulation primarily took place.
She confirmed the location of a scar. This is a perfect example to showcase the phenomenon of the stagnation of fluid or energy in a remote area being the root cause of the accumulation of fluid or energy in a different part of the body; In this case, the correlation was between the scar on the right lower abdomen and the left axilla/breast. Suzanne has been using this modality daily, especially after her recent stem cell breast surgery.20
CONCLUSIONS
The question must not be “Does energy medicine work?” - of course, it works, and has been a staple upon which humans have relied on for millennia.
Magnetism is a physical phenomenon that exercises its influence on the entire universe, including living beings. As James Oschman, PhD, stated so well at the A4M Conference in Orlando several years ago:
“When we ignore energy, we miss 99% of reality. In fact, what can you comprehend about anything without energetics?”21
The biological manifestations of electromagnetism range from the potential of action produced by cellular depolarization in response to ionic flow through its membrane, to organic representations that are in fact used for diagnostic purposes, such as cardiac, cerebral, or muscular electrical activity.
There is ever more scientific evidence that calls into question the currently accepted physiological model, which exclusively considers biochemical process and nervous conduction to be responsible for cell-and organic interactions.
Thus, to truly understand human physiology, it is necessary to consider electromagnetic phenomena as cell behavior elements which precede the other processes.22
While energy medicine plays a significant role in patient care, when looking at the bigger picture, there are many other perspectives and solutions from different cultures and ancient wisdom to incorporate into a personalized medical approach to help our patients recreate their belief system and change their life patterns.
For clinical use and educational purpose, some of the most significant puzzle pieces that come into play for our chronically ill patients in an integrative personalized wellbeing approach are shown in Figure 4.
Besides relief of symptoms, have you have ever given thought to what our patients are actually searching for when they seek our help and involvement to improve their health and wellbeing? Deep down there is a desire, an unfulfilled part in their lives that drives their body into a state of chaos and dysfunction.
