OUR BRAIN — THE BIOLOGICAL RELAY SWITCH AND RECORDER OF EVERY DISEASE
‘In proportion to our body mass, our brain is three times as large as that of our nearest relatives. This huge organ is dangerous and painful to give birth to, expensive to build and, in a resting human, uses about 20 percent of the body’s energy even though it is just 2 percent of the body’s weight. There must be some reason for all this evolutionary expense.’
Dr. Susan Blakemore, author of ‘Me, Myself, I,’ New Scientist, March 13, 1999
I’ve been fascinated by health for many years and introduced to many different disciplines in my time, but the thing that really amazes me is brain CT scan reading. Suddenly, here was an area previously limited to a few select doctors, which allowed a trained individual to get an accurate picture of what was happening energetically inside a person’s mind and, as Birgitte’s story illustrates, it is a very powerful tool.
Birgitte complained that she had ‘absolutely no energy.’ She constantly felt tired and sleepy; the only thing keeping on her feet was sheer willpower. She knew she didn’t have chronic fatigue syndrome (Epstein Barr) or ME, but she also knew that something wasn’t right.
Birgitte’s story started when she worked on a cultural—historical farm, where everything was done in the same way as it had been done in the 1940s. She recounted how immensely fit she felt and how much energy she had. She loved her work but not the shared accommodations, so she managed to secure an apartment elsewhere on the farm where she could be alone. During this time she met and fell in love with someone ten years younger, and then became pregnant. Sadly, she suffered a miscarriage a few weeks into the pregnancy, but the scan showed an incomplete miscarriage, and she was advised to have a vacuum aspiration at the local hospital to complete the process.
At the hospital, she negotiated with the nurse not to be given a general anesthetic, and the chief nurse saw that Birgitte was capable of relaxing her body enough for the procedure. She did, however, have a local anesthetic. Everything was fine until the doctor started the procedure, which involved a machine that sounded like a very loud vacuum cleaner.
All the blood went from her head. She kept thinking, ‘I cannot move because I will get hurt.’ She recounted, ‘I can’t pass out or faint because this was the decision I made, I went all into my head.’ After the experience, she just suppressed the whole thing and got back into shape very quickly.
However, after a few weeks, Birgitte noticed a dull ache in her kidneys. Realizing this could be more than a minor problem, she dropped everything and sought medical advice, and was diagnosed with a renal pelvis infection. She had a very high fever and a horrendous sharp pain in the kidneys, like a knife that was constantly there. Later on she found out that she was passing kidney stones. She moved in with her mother during these five weeks.
In the last stages of her healing, her boyfriend came to see her and told her that she could now no longer have the apartment and that there was nowhere else for her to live on the farm. This was another shock, and she now felt that she had nowhere to go. After being told this, she went into a deep depression, which resulted in her staying more or less in bed for a month and a half. The only person she saw during this time was her boyfriend, and she became pregnant again. Still depressed, she had the child, thinking it would solve the depression, but instead she felt trapped, more imprisoned, and she could not get out of this horrible state.
Eventually she moved in with her boyfriend, and for three and a half years she battled with the depression. Although she deeply loved her boyfriend, he could no longer deal with her issues, and eventually they split up. Unexpectedly, the depression lifted at this time, but the lack of energy she had been experiencing got worse.
If you met Birgitte, you would have no idea that she was suffering in this way, but when I studied her CT scan I saw small ring markings that I knew related to specific organs in the body (to see the CT scan, visit www.whyamisick.com). Not only was I able to show her the two shocks that caused her depression, I was also able to point out organs where there had been a problem. An example was an old digestive issue, whereupon she explained that she’d had a problem due to a friend of hers having gone mad and disappearing for weeks.
However, the most dramatic thing I found that made complete sense to Birgitte was when I asked her if she had a problem with her thyroid. She replied that she didn’t. Then I showed her how the area in the front left-hand side of the brain in the cortex area had a speckled ring, which meant that this was in the Rebuild Stage and that it was a suspended healing. I consulted with a doctor friend, and he explained that the symptoms of this issue were a lack of energy and always feeling tired, commonly known as an underactive thyroid.
I explained that we could clear the energy around the event that caused the issue to occur, one of feeling powerless, and doing that would mean the thyroid would return to normal function, her tiredness would disappear, and her energy would return.
I asked her to put together a history of her medical issues. That evening she wrote four pages of notes and worked out what had caused the UDIN; it was at the point of the procedure where she felt powerless, listening to the machine and feeling terrified to move. The next day we cleared the UDIN moment and the underlying trapped energy. Immediately she felt better, and over the course of the next few days the tiredness completely disappeared and her energy returned.
To explain Birgitte’s condition in more detail, a relay switches on in the brain on the front, left-hand side of the gray matter (cortex). This relay relates to the thyroglossal ducts; these are the tubes that allow the thyroid hormones to be released into the blood. These ducts become bigger, thereby allowing the two thyroid gland hormones to be released into the system so that they can flow faster into the blood-stream. These two hormones, thyroxin and triiodothyronine, regulate the metabolism in a person (basically how quickly a person burns energy and makes proteins).
The overall effect of this widening of the ducts allows people to react faster so they can deal with whatever it is they feel powerless against (in Birgitte’s case, the painful and noisy procedure). Once the stress resolves itself, then the ducts repair themselves, they get smaller, and so fewer of the thyroid hormones enter the bloodstream; less thyroid hormone means less energy.
Is there a mind—body connection? Could the medical profession be missing one of the most obvious links there is to disease by focusing only on biochemistry to heal people?
It may or may not be obvious, but there is no doubt that there is a massive amount of biochemistry going on. Neuropeptides rush through the mind, which then tells the body to react in a specific way. This is well understood scientifically, and the simple proof of this biochemical reaction and connection is the effect that a positive or negative thought has on a person’s body posture, breathing, or blood chemistry.
Proof of this is simple. Take depression as an example, which affects a people’s blood chemistry by lowering the amount of serotonin in the brain and the body. The reduction in this hormone affects both breathing and posture: e.g., their behavior will change as they look at the world, act, walk, and talk very differently. Energy levels also reduce in depression sufferers, as they tend to spend a lot of time doing nothing, and nothing seems to interest them.1
We can see the effects of lifting depression by the use of drugs such as Prozac, the first anti-depression drug of its class. Within three weeks of taking the drug, most people suffering with depression do feel better.
Even if the drug is designed to do something completely different, such as a beta-blocker (used to reduce high blood pressure), it can have a massive shift in our way of thinking. Therefore, I think it is safe to say that what we think is linked to our biochemistry, which in turn is linked to our emotions, and vice versa. What I’m saying here is neither radical nor new, although I find it strange that the medical profession doesn’t acknowledge this blatantly obvious mind—body connection.
Another area that the medical profession conveniently ignores is energy, even though the existence of energy can easily be proven. You may remember from chemistry lessons in school that during a chemical reaction heat is emitted, and heat is energy. Consider our neural pathways: they use electrical energy to communicate throughout the mind and the body, switching on nerve impulses releasing neurotransmitters into the system. This is a chemical reaction; therefore, heat is produced.
We can’t see nerve electrical energy, but it is the same transference of energy that we use to power an electric light bulb, admittedly with less current flowing through it. So it’s safe to say that when we think, we produce heat energy changes, which fire off electrical energy changes along with biochemical reactions, resulting in changes throughout the mind and body. Electrical waves are also responsible for considerable changes in the mind and body, which the medical profession has partly ignored although, to a degree, they have been using them for decades.
It isn’t difficult to prove that electrical waves surround us; our brains and organs, and those in turn receive and emit electrical waves. Consider the non-invasive use of electro-encephalograph (EEG) that measures brain waves or electrocardiograph (ECG) that measures heart waves, thereby proving that we emit waves through changes in our thinking. We can also stimulate muscles using non-invasive techniques. For example, a TENS machine, which involves placing pads on the skin instead of needles in the body (as in acupuncture) can be used to relieve pain and illustrates that the human body can receive electrical waves.
Some interesting experiments conducted by scientists confirm the fact that we produce electrical waves. They invented a skullcap that contained an array of 64 electrodes. Using special computer algorithms, they demonstrated how people could control a cursor on a computer screen using only thought.2 The technology has advanced so quickly that you can even buy one of these machines for the same price as a laptop or tablet computer (http://www.emotiv.com/), now with considerably fewer electrodes.
I think we can, therefore, assume that the brain and organs emit and receive electrical information that, in turn, creates a field around them. This information is emitted and received via the nerves, which are embedded in every part of our body and every organ. As soon as an electrical current is passed through a wire, an electrical field is produced — this field is thought to interact with everything around and inside you. Recent research by Professor Peter Fraser has shown that the heart links to the brain and the nervous system, and the work of other people and organizations such as the Heart Math Institute in California support his findings.3 The heart seems to contain 65 to 75 percent neuronal cells. It seems that as the heart beats, it emits an electrical wave, imprinting information into the blood passing through it, changing the biochemistry in the mind and body.
The fact that we create a field around us is nothing new, as the police and emergency services have been using specially designed thermal-imaging cameras for many years to track criminals and for search and rescue. However, it’s worth mentioning because it is just more evidence that there is a mind—body connection; thoughts alters our energy. Emotions are thoughts, and these also change our state — our biochemistry. All of these seemingly separate elements, which make us what we are, are not separate; they are totally integrated.
Why this is so important is because the medical profession has separated thinking, and therefore emotions, from disease. If doctors believed that a thought was connected to the way the body reacted, then they would reconsider the effect that a medical diagnosis has on a person, especially one with such implications as a diagnosis of cancer. It is not only the doctors that need to be wary of this; alternative and complementary practitioners do as well. During an evaluation or medical diagnosis of any kind, people are in a heightened state of awareness, and this can have a dramatic effect on how they perceive what they have been told. People are in a trance state, and when they are given a horrific or challenging medical diagnosis, they can and often do go into a UDIN.
Looking specifically at traditional medicine, we find that research is reductionist in nature. The researchers don’t look at the mind and the body; they look at an individual cell and dismantle it, and rip it apart in order to find out what’s going wrong inside a diseased cell. Then they develop drugs that alter the chemistry in this single cell, thereby repairing or destroying the constitution of the cell. Remember, the researchers work with diseased cells in isolation, omitting the environment and the mental state of the person.
If you disagree, then just consider what effect chemotherapy has on any replicating cell. No consideration is given to side effects since, from a reductionist viewpoint, side effects are an inconvenient by-product. No consideration is given to the person’s state of the mind, since the theory is that the chemotherapy drugs only destroy the cancer cells, but as any cancer patient who has had chemotherapy will tell you, the side effects are horrendous. Physical side effects of chemotherapy often cause patients to lose their hair, together with other cells that are replicating, such as nails. The psychological side effects cause loss of self-esteem, mood shifts, irritability, depression, low sex drive, and changes in how the patient thinks about him- or herself as a person. Even taste and smell change while taking these drugs, and immense nausea is regularly reported to be felt by patients.4
As a person goes through a UDIN, the effect of the emotion that occurs gets trapped in the system (see Chapter 4, How the body reacts to a UDIN). We can easily prove that emotions get stored in our neurological system. Just think of a happy event from the past, and for most people the emotions reappear. They are in there somewhere and they are often easily accessible; with a UDIN, the emotion gets trapped in the system in the same way.
Research carried out in 2005 in the USA at Duke University’s Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, and Brain Imaging and Analysis Center found that people who experience a traumatic event get trapped in a cycle of emotion and recall, and in particular they studied post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The effects of a UDIN produce the same reaction as that of a person who experiences PTSD. In essence they are very similar, if not the same. The types of events that affect people with PTSD are horrendous: accidents, death, war events, or horrific fires. Many of the people who suffer from this type of psychological disorder are soldiers, paramedics, and firefighters.
By using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a relatively new and complex imaging technique that uses magnetism and radio waves to see inside the body, researchers were able to establish that as a person reassesses the memories of a horrific event, it shows up in the brain and, specifically, in the area for processing emotional memories — the amygdala and the hippocampus. These events were trapped and the pictures and emotions were caught in a continuous loop. What was different about this research was the time delay that the researchers used to assess their clients’ recall. In previous experiments, the time difference had only been minutes, but in this research the time difference was a year.5
Why this is significant is because people suffering from PTSD are affected mentally and physically by the event that shocked them. They not only have severe psychological changes, but are found to suffer from heart-related problems, respiratory system-related problems, digestive problems, reproductive system-related problems, diabetes, arthritis, and pain, all of which suggest a direct, provable scientific link between a specific stressful event and specific diseases.
Not surprisingly from an Advanced Clearing Energetics perspective, the medical professions interpretation of the known causes for these diseases in people with PTSD is not known. It postulates that the stress these people go through affects the body, increasing the risk of problems and illness.6
In order to understand the types of conflicts to which each disease is related, I have listed them here:
| Disease or issue | Related conflict |
| Coronary heart disease | Loss of something important such as a house or one’s job. One’s territory. |
| Respiratory system-related problems (bronchial and laryngeal mucosa) | Being scared of an impending attack by someone. A territorial fear conflict. |
| Digestive problems (stomach, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas mucosa) | Feeling angry because someone has taken something away from you. A territorial anger conflict. |
| Digestive problems (digestive tract) | Something that couldn’t be digested e.g., an event that sits in the gut and can’t be accepted. |
| Diabetes type 1 — hyperglycemia (beta islet cells, insulin injecting) | Resisting change or defending yourself from someone. |
| Diabetes type 2 — hypoglycemia (alpha islet cells, controlled by diet) | Being scared of something disgusting. |
| Arthritis | Severe separation from others and a lack of value for oneself. |
| Pain | Most probably to do with the kidney collecting tubules, feeling abandoned, and another disease going through its Repair/Rebuild Stages. |
| Reproductive system-related problems (ovaries and testicles) | Profound loss. |
All of these issues are seen in people suffering with PTSD, which means there might be evidence that a neurological dysfunction (known to affect the brain and a person’s behavior), is linked to specific diseases. Therefore, a specific stressful event affects the brain in a specific location, which then affects a specific organ for a biological reason. Further evidence demonstrates this can be seen in MRIs of PTSD7 sufferers who show activity in specific areas of the brain.
Brain imaging techniques have also found that there is a direct link between specific areas of the brain and movement associated with Parkinson’s disease.8 Further evidence that the primary and motor cortex of the brain are responsible for basic movement has also been established.9
As well as many experiments relating to brain imaging and specific organs in the body, most of the studies relate to movement or diseases that affect neural pathways in the body, such as Parkinson’s and MS. There is also research that indicates the locations of specific areas of the brain and their relationship to specific organs of the body.
For example, in the 1950s, Wilder Penfield worked with epileptic patients in an attempt to assist them in stopping their seizures. He carried out experiments, during open brain surgery, where the patients had been given a localized anesthetic, meaning they were awake and could speak to the surgeon. Using an electrical probe on certain areas of the cortex of the brain, he could stimulate specific areas of the body. Wilder Penfield established that the brain was organized in a beautiful system and that the brain was crossed, meaning that by stimulating the left-hand side of the brain, the right-hand side of the body was affected, and vice versa. (To do a fun experiment of brain probing in the sensory cortex, go to www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/tryit/brain/.)
Modern brain mapping has defined various areas of the brain and their related functions, and it appears that the brain is connected to the body in an elegantly organized system. Each part of the body and each organ has a connection to a specific area of the brain. For example, the area responsible for visual processing is at the back of the brain — you do, literally, have eyes in the back of your head. Sound is processed in the side lobes of the brain. The sensory areas, responsible for touch, are located at the top of the brain.
This type of brain mapping is relatively old and only covers the cortex of the brain. There is, however, an area that is well understood but ignored to some extent when it comes to our design as humans, and this is the link between specific organs and areas of the brain. To understand this we need to look at embryology, which is taught for about four days in medical school but from then on appears to be ignored by the medical profession, unless someone chooses to specialize in premature babies.
To explain this link we need to understand the basic fundamentals of embryology: what is happening in the womb from the point of conception to developing into a human being. Humans start off as a single cell that divides into 50 trillion cells, which then develop to make a grown adult. Within the first 30 days, three specific layers of cells develop — the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm — confusingly known as ‘germ’ layers and, although they have nothing to do with germs and microbes, they do link beautifully to how we react in the Repair/Rebuild Stages of the disease process to fungi, bacteria, and viruses (see also Chater 9, Bacteria in our system).
Each one of these layers makes up specific parts of various organs. The endoderm (inner layer) is responsible for our digestive system, which runs from the mouth to the anus, and includes the meat (parenchyma) of the liver and parenchyma of the pancreas plus the lung alveoli. The collecting tubules of the kidneys can also be found in the brain stem and are responsible for regulating the stored water throughout our system. (Note: The kidney collecting tubules develop from the mesoderm area of the brain and are not endoderm-directed organs.)
The mesoderm (middle layer) is the thick leathery skin of the body. It is the dermis area of the skin, which surrounds and protects the inner organs. The pericardium is a thick layer of skin surrounding the heart. The peritoneum covers the digestive organs, including the liver, and the pleura surrounds the lungs. The mammary glands are also directed by the mesoderm — the middle layer of the brain. Here, we also find the skeleton, striated muscles, the heart muscle, tendons, teeth, and cartilage. The smooth muscles of the intestine, stomach, and esophagus are also situated here.
The outer layer, the ectoderm, is responsible for the sensory organs. These connect us with the outside world. The most obvious is the outer layer of the skin known as the epidermis. We also have the mucosa, the slimy areas of our system, responsible for preventing our organs from drying out, and for giving us vital sensory feedback in order for us to function successfully and survive in our environment. The nasal mucosa is here (smell), the bronchi and laryngeal mucosa, the gall bladder ducts, liver mucosa, stomach mucosa, duodenum mucosa, and pancreas mucosa. Interestingly, we find the coronary arteries and veins in the cortex, as well as the alpha and beta islet cells of the pancreas and the thyroglossal ducts and pharyngeal gland. We also find the seeing part of our eyes — mainly the retina and vitreous fluid — the hearing part of our ears, and the upper part of our skin, movement, touch and other sensory information of our body.
So, as we develop from the single fertilized cell, we divide into the three germ layers. At the same time each germ layer is connected to a specific area of the nervous system and brain. The endoderm is connected to the brain stem. The mesoderm is connected to the cerebellum — at the back of the brain — and is responsible for the thick skins surrounding our organs — and is also connected to the white matter. The cerebral medulla, which is responsible for support, therefore includes our muscles and skeleton. The ectoderm is connected to the cerebral cortex and hence the sensory organs that connect us to the outside world.
Our understanding of how embryology and the constitution of the brain are linked by a simple map of the organs has been mostly ignored. The thesis that I’m about to explain has, as yet, only some scientific verification, but the evidence seems to point to the constitution of the body reflecting perfectly in embryology and brain layers. So, if, for example, people suffering from PTSD are more likely to suffer from heart-related problems, respiratory system-related problems, digestive problems, reproductive system-related problems, diabetes, arthritis, and pain than someone who has not experienced PTSD, then there is probably a link to the ongoing stressful emotions they experience.
This means that if each separate area of the body and the brain is connected through embryology, then looking at the organ that is affected from an embryological point of view, you would see this obvious link. The ongoing stressful event shows up in the brain in a specific area that corresponds to the organ that is affected, but not the whole organ, just the specific embryonic layer. Take, for example, the lung that is made out of two embryonic layers. The alveoli are connected to the endoderm (inner layer) and therefore the brain stem, and the bronchi mucosa to the ectoderm (outer layer) and therefore the cortex. Two completely different embryonic layers are showing up in two completely different areas of the brain, but from the point of view of the medical profession, it is still the lungs.
Going back to the brain—body connection, let us explore the basic premise that seems to drive each embryonic level.
This relates to the brain stem; practically all the parts of the organs found in this endoderm embryonic layer have to do with digestion. The types of stressful events that affect this layer are an inability to digest something a person has seen or heard — for example, being told you’re a liar when clearly you’re not. Diseases that occur here are designed to help us digest these issues more effectively by increasing the surface area of the digestive tract or organ affected, thereby allowing better absorption of whatever it was that got stuck. This occurs in the Stress Stage.
This relates to two areas, the first one being the cerebellum; the stressful events that cause this layer to react are to do with an impending attack against us. An example would be imminent surgery on the intestines thickening the peritoneum. Diseases that occur in this first part of the mesoderm are designed to protect our inner organs from attack by thickening the leathery skin layer in the Stress Stage. Another example worth considering is facial acne, indicating an attack against who we are, e.g., losing face. Skin builds up in the first stage and then is eaten away by bacteria in the Repair/Rebuild Stages, hence the pimple and pus that is squeezed out from this point.
An issue relating to us not supporting ourselves, or not receiving support from others, would affect out skeletal and muscular system, and would therefore show up in the mesoderm part of the brain (the cerebral medulla). An example would be letting people walk all over you because you don’t value yourself at a deep level. The cartilage in the lumbar vertebrae becomes stronger following the resolution of the stressful event in the Repair/Rebuild Stages. Diseases in this second part of the mesoderm are designed to strengthen the affected muscles, bones, cartilage, and tendons, therefore making the person stronger and better able to support themself. This occurs in the Repair/Rebuild Stages.
This area is affected by issues of a connective nature, perhaps concerning territory (mostly in males), social issues in females, fear of being attacked, separation issues, and feelings of being paralyzed. The types of diseases we see in the cortex affect the mucosa (the slimy lining of specific organs of the body such as the nasal mucosa, stomach mucosa, and bronchial mucosa). The ducts of certain organs are also affected, such as the breast milk ducts, the beta and islet cells of the pancreas, the motor movements (nerves), specific areas of the eyes, the epidermis (outer layer of the skin), nails, hair, the hearing side of the ear, and the coronary arteries and veins, which are all in the cortex. In essence, every issue that relates to our ‘connection’, or lack of it, with the outside world shows up in the ectoderm/cortex. The biological reason for the diseases in the cortex is, basically, for the person to feel less sensitive to the issue that is affecting them, thereby allowing them to deal with it more effectively. This always occurs in the Stress Stage.
So if we can speculate that specific embryonic layers of the brain are connected to corresponding embryonic layering of an organ in a structured and organized way, if we were to look at a specific diseased layer of an organ then, in theory, we should find either activity or scarring in the corresponding area of the brain. Let’s look at a series of case studies (you can view the CT scans, which demonstrate how a disease can be seen in the relative area of the brain, by visiting www.whyamisick.com):
A student of mine suffered from nephrotic syndrome. From a traditional medical point of view, nephrotic syndrome is when the kidneys are damaged, causing large edemas (excessive water and protein — albumin) in specific areas of the body. In my student’s case, it affected his whole body, showing up mainly in his lower abdomen and testicles. It also caused the rest of his body to swell; his face would blow up and look moon-like. In order to treat the disease, a steroid called Prednisolone is given in large doses, and the moon-face is believed to be a side effect of the treatment. However, observations of sufferers of kidney collecting tubule syndromes, suggest that the moon-face occurs before the steroids are taken and not because of them.
The issue that causes this excessive swelling is a UDIN, which involves feeling isolated and abandoned. The steroids actually cause more water to collect around the specific areas by putting the whole body into the Stress Stage. The use of diuretics can stop any further build-up, but like steroids, they are not a cure. My student’s CT scan showed numerous white circles in the kidney collecting tubules area. The white circles were scarring due to calcium deposits — indicating that the disease had completed its process — and corresponded to the brain stem area (the endoderm — inner layer).
My student confirmed the reactions that occurred regarding his disease, and the UDIN that triggered the disease happened when he was two years old and became separated from his parents while vacationing in Edinburgh. He remembered how he had a strong fear of being isolated as a child, particularly if friends behaved indifferently or in an unfriendly way toward him. More important, he remembered feeling extremely anxious and stressed when his parents went out, fearing that they wouldn’t return. He told me that he used to cry and scream as they left, making it almost impossible for them to have a normal social life. These emotional triggers caused the whole disease process to recur (see also Chapter 6, How chronic diseases occur). After age 18 his symptoms disappeared and he is completely free of this disease now.
We met Lucille in Chapter 4; she had ongoing anxiety problems. In her CT scan it was evident that the thyroglossal ducts and the pharyngeal gland were both active at the same time. This combination of two organs being affected in this way causes acute anxiety.
In her CT scan, the rings were in the cortex area of the brain, and showed the issue in UDIN reversal and therefore in the Repair or Rebuild Stage. There were also many white spots in the center, meaning the issue was chronic, therefore repeating itself, and was continually there in the background. Hence, Lucille would go through bouts of anxiety from time to time.
This client thought he had problems with his energy levels because whenever he exercised he felt out of breath and was coughing. He had been to the medical doctor who, after many tests, was unable to determine what was wrong with him. On inspection, his brain CT scan showed a clear circle corresponding to the heart pericardium. This would have caused a thickening of the skin layer around the heart. Fortunately, the client didn’t have emotional heart problems (his relationship with his wife was very good), but he did, however, complain that his whole life had recently been turned upside down when an incompetent manager had threatened his job, which he loved. Therefore, the ring showed as an attack against his heart, the attack being against the job he loved.
Another client, a woman with two young boys, had a bone cancer in her middle thoracic spine area. Her CT scan was taken just days before a Spike, and she experienced excruciating pain, which she reported as feeling as if someone was stabbing her in the back, along with an epileptic seizure that lasted three minutes and an ongoing migraine headache, which slowly disappeared.
Such a disease is due to a lack of self-worth conflict hitting at a very deep personal level (similar to my herniated disc described in Chapter 2, but much deeper) along with kidney collecting tubule syndrome. This client had been forced by her business partner to do something in her company that she felt was morally wrong and on the verge of being illegal. She resolved the issue (UDIN Reversal) and then went through the Repair Stage, with symptoms of pain in the bone followed by the Spike. The pain subsided eventually. In normal medical terms this would be considered a brain tumor, but from an Advanced Clearing Energetics point of view, it is the collection of glial cells (brain reparatory cells that heal the relay) around the brain relay that collects large amounts of water during the Repair Stage. As the Spike takes place, this water is squeezed out by cramping in the brain, similar to someone trying to squeeze some juice out of an unpeeled orange.
The symptoms are severe headaches, migraines, and sometimes seizures. Sometimes the swelling of the brain presses up against the back of the eyeballs, and people see flashing lights along with the pain in a separate area of the brain. Or they experience the feeling of one eyeball being almost squeezed out of its socket. If left to take its natural course, the amount of water can subside, in which case the eyeball returns to normal. My client did experience her right eyeball being pushed out to some degree; however, this subsided very quickly.
Another client experienced excessive bleeding and horrendous menstrual pains, and had unexplained infertility. Her brain CT scan indicated that there was a problem with her ovaries due to a UDIN — she’d had a miscarriage and this had caused her to feel a deep loss for the child, which coincided with the start of her menstruation problems. After resolving the UDIN, she conceived and gave birth to a lovely boy.
This client showed symptoms of IBS, but on closer inspection of his CT scan there were clear rings, which were broken in places with some white spots inside the rings. This meant that he was repeating the issue over and over again (see also Chapter 6, How chronic diseases occur). The symptoms the client experienced were constipation and then diarrhea; however, in extreme cases, this can cause more serious diseases to develop — e.g., Crohn’s disease.
The medical profession doesn’t point out that there are two types of breast cancers and they have their origins in two separate embryological layers, but 27 percent of breast cancers are glandular cerebellum (middle brain — mesoderm), whereas 73 percent are ductal, which shows up in the cortex of the brain (outer brain — ectoderm). However, a brain CT scan of a woman in the Stress Stage of glandular breast cancer shows a very clear ring in the location of the breast cancer glands. This type of cancer is due to intense worry or an argument with a son or daughter.
Although there does need to be further research in this area to be absolutely certain that we’ve got this model right, there is an overwhelming amount of evidence proving that there is an amazing link between the brain and the body. This means that reading a brain CT can give a relatively accurate history of an illness, and therefore traumas that a client has experienced, as well as being able to pinpoint the ongoing issues that a client is experiencing.
In my experience of reading brain CT scans, I find that it is just as much of an art as it is a science. Interpretation of certain circles can vary from one reader to another. It does have its flaws and, as an energetic research tool, is not perfect. On the other hand, neither are modern diagnostic tools perfect. The volume of misdiagnoses has not decreased despite the number of brilliant imaging machines available now to modern medicine.
In the next chapter, we’ll delve into the highly controversial area of microbes: how fungi, bacteria, and viruses are all part of the disease process and are working in symbiosis with our bodies to assist in our healing.
