FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  1. I have consulted many specialists, but no one was able to help. Would another specialist from a well-known institution be able to do better?
  2. No one seems to know what is the real problem. Not everyone agrees on a definite diagnosis. Would further diagnostic workups be productive?
  3. My x-ray, MRI or CAT scan showed many degenerative changes such as bone spurs, herniated disks, and spinal stenosis. Do I need surgery to get rid of the pain?
  4. But my last surgery helped, at least for a little while.
  5. I have use so much antibiotics for so long, that I have become resistant to many of them and have developed candidiasis or other complications. What should I do?

1.    I have consulted many specialists, but no one was able to help. Would another specialist from a well-known institution be able to do better?

Not if drugs or surgery is the main treatment of this specialist.


2.    No one seems to know what is the real problem. Not everyone agrees on a definite diagnosis. Would further diagnostic workup be productive?

Not if drugs or surgery is the main treatment.

Getting well is the real goal of the patient. Western diagnoses are medical jargon for symptomatic descriptions. They provide little or no help in the healing process which requires ascertaining and rectifying the cause of the disease. For example, fibromyalgia, fibrositis, myofascial disease, musculoligamentous disorder, and simple muscle soreness all describe a similar problem. None of these labels provides a deeper insight as to the underlying causes of the disease, or helps to effect a cure of the problem.


3.    My x-ray, MRI or CAT scan showed many degenerative changes such as bone spurs, herniated disks, and spinal stenosis. Do I need surgery to get rid of the pain?

No, except in rare instances.

Physical degenerations are associated with the pain, but not the cause of it. Poor circulation resulted from mind-body disharmony is the underlying cause of both the pain and degeneration. (See Mind-body healing page). Restoration of the circulation will alleviate the pain, and maintaining adequate blood will eventually improve the degeneration. In one study of 98 subjects with no back pain, 66% have moderate to severe degenerative changes in MRI’s. Also, patients with arthritis have no pain during the remission period, albeit their bony degenerations persist.


4.    But my last surgery helped, at least for a little while.

Surgery may temporarily fix the symptom, but not the underlying circulation problem. That is why the relief usually is incomplete and short term. Even if surgery provided relief, the underlying cause should be addressed, otherwise the pain will recur or pain in another area will develop.


5.    I have use so much antibiotics for so long, that I have become resistance to many of them and have developed candidiasis or other complications, what should I do?

Seek a natural therapy that will enhance your body’s immunity to fight the infections. Soon, you can try our Energy Consultation as well.


6.    Does Neuro-BioEnergetics Really Work?

What you are really asking is that whether the case histories are fabricated or true. I assure you that 100% of what we post is true. In fact, I have thousands of such cases, and we shall continue to add to the web page for public education.

Also since April of 1999, we have been regularly interviewing patients with very difficult and challenging medical problems, and posting these interviews on the PATIENT INTERVIEWS section. Listen to them.

Finally, if you would like to talk to our patients with a certain diagnoses, we can provide you with the phone numbers of those who are willing to share their experiences.

How about a couple of cases from cyberspace, i.e., patients who came to us as a result of learning about our web page? Paul came to us from Indiana two weeks ago with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia, an ailment with abnormally low serum platelets. Please refer to all the letters from readers with this ailment on January and February. He had exhausted both conventional and alternative therapies, and I may add that the family is very knowledgeable in natural remedies. Prednisone provided temporary increase in platelets. Three days before he came to us, his platelet count was 27,000 (normal is 130,000 to 300,000+), and was in a downhill slide in spite of steroid therapy.

After nine days of NBE treatments, a repeat blood test showed a platelet of 87,000! His family was in jubilation! Does it really work? Ask Paul. His number is (219) 926-3784.

Another patient from Texas was suffering from severe sinus and migraine headaches, heel pain, insomnia, and chronic fatigue. He was sleeping only one to two hours per night. He could not stand for any period of time, and was becoming disabled because of the headaches. He could only stay for two weeks of treatments. He is essentially free of all of the above symptoms, and is sleeping 5 to 6 hours per night! Call him if you are still skeptical. His pager number is (800) 411-2748 (He works for a long distance company).

The fact that these patients flew to another state for medical treatment indicates the severity of their problems. Most people would not do this until they have tried everything and everyone else for an extensive period of time. You must agree that what we were able to do for them in two weeks is remarkable. Does it really work? You tell me.


7.    Are there any other physicians who practice Neuro-BioEnergetics?

I innovated the NBE therapy, and have held one symposium to teach other health professionals this technique. The seven physicians who attended this symposium have learned the basic philosophy of natural healing.

As a second option, the specialties closest to NBE therapy are neural therapy and scleral therapy. Neural therapy is very similar to NBE therapy. However, most neural therapists do not understand the underlying mechanism of their treatment. The NBE therapy works through the bioenergy system to accomplish the healing. Those with a deeper understanding of this therapeutic approach can heal emotional trauma as well as physical symptoms -- the mind and the body are inseparable in a living organism. Knowledge of this energy system, therefore, is a key factor in obtaining successful results.


8.    Why has none of your work been published in a complete paper?

I wrote a comprehensive paper in 1995, with 350 references from western scientific data, elucidating the mechanism of NBE therapy. It involved a prospective study of 1000 patients (a statistically significant number), who had spent on the average 6.8 years (also significant) of conventional and/or unconventional therapies and failed to obtain result. The majority (95%) rated NBE treatment as "better" or "much better" than their previous treatment!

NEJM, JAMA and Lancet all refused to have the paper reviewed by experts in energy medicine, on the grounds that my topic was not their "top priority"?! As a result, the medical profession remains ignorant of the body's healing mechanism, and the public suffers. Please read my rebuttal to these journals posted in this web page.

Subsequently, I lectured and published an article entitled "Completing a Paradigm Shift in Medicine by Integrating Eastern and Western Therapies" in the proceedings of the 7th International Forum on New Science. Since then, I have decided that it will take too long to get my message to the medical profession. It is better to educate the public, which is less stubborn and can recognize the truth more readily.

I am writing a book to explain how the mind heals at the physiologic level. Most important is my message that ALL ACQUIRED CHRONIC AILMENTS ARE CURABLE. I am frustrated by continually hearing patients being told either that their tests are all normal, hence their problems are all in their heads and that they need to see a psychiatrist, or that their ailments are incurable, there is no hope, and that they have to learn to live with their pain. Nothing is further from the truth in most of these cases.

Pharmaceutical medicine has flourished so far using an unscientific, symptomatic approach to treat chronic disorders, partly due to its enormous political power, but mainly because no one knows any better. The truth will prevail. Eventually medical texts will have to be rewritten.


9.    What is Qi / Chi / Ki?

Qi, Chi, and Ki are all the same. It is a higher vibrational energy from the mental and spiritual planes. Current technology is inadequate to directly measure Qi because it is beyond the physical plane. Disturbances in Qi is what causes all the problems in the physical world, including our health. Internally it is influenced by our emotions, Qi from inspired air, and ingested food. Externally it is affected by climateric forces, mental influences of other people, as well as energy from other living organisms and inanimate objects.
