Where and when will mainstream and complementary finally start working together???? Part IV

Where and when will regular and complementary finally start working together????

As you know, I have already dedicated blogs on collaboration regular and complementary namely (16-04-2017, 23-04-2017 and 14-05-2017).

People, who have known me for a long time, know that if I were young now...am only 17 (oh no...71) I would study epigenetics.

What is epigenetics?
Epigenetics is the discipline within genetics that studies the influence of reversible heritable changes that occur in the behaviour of a cell without changes in the sequence (order of base pairs) of DNA in the cell nucleus. It also studies the processes that affect the unfolding development of an organism. In both cases, it studies how gene regulatory information that is not expressed in your genotype is nevertheless passed on from one generation to the next. This type of regulation can target DNA, RNA or proteins and operates at the level of the cell nucleus or cytoplasm. Nucleosomes play an important role here.

And the above is quite a mouthful. In my words: I have always felt that somehow you can turn genes on or off. That states of mind play a big part in this. And that flower remedies have a big part in this. Just as blossom remedies have a big impact on neural networks.
I also always say that I work with remedies to resolve chronic complaints. I don't give someone a "few drops" and it's solved. Nor do I use remedies as an "add-on" to ....???? It is a stand-alone therapy. Working with remedies the way I (and many therapists with me) do causes neural networks to change.

A simple explanation: "Uncle Scrooge Duck walks in circles in his money warehouse. One lap is not seen. However, if Dagobert Duck starts walking several and thus more frequent rounds (because he is worried about something again), one sees a trail forming on his low money. If someone has not been feeling well for a long time, e.g. due to endogenous depression or has far too much on her/his plate, such a "trail" starts to form in the neural networks, which reinforce and deepen over and over again; the connections formed over a long period of time, just like the tracks of Uncle Scrooge Duck in his warehouse, are very deep and firmly connected to each other. In Dagobert Duck's money warehouse, the formation of his circle has become so concrete that it cannot be levelled simply and quickly. This again requires a lot of time to fill/change this formed path in his warehouse."

So patterns and shapes (so using Dagobert Duck's famous running around in his warehouse as an example) that have been present for a long time have very strong connections between them at the neural level; neurons that fire together, work together.
Something that has been present for a long time does not go away with a few drops, no.... you start working with the flower remedies "step by step" (after an extensive history). And that is a process that can take a longer time which again has to do with the flexibility of the neural network and the strain people carry.
I will come back to this later.

But what does that have to do with Part IV?

I was in the car a heard an interview by Pierre Capel, emeritus professor of experimental immunology at Utrecht University. That appealed to me so much that I immediately ordered his book. Got it the next day and didn't stop until it was out. The book is full of notes because I found so much recognition in what he writes and what I "know" and the way I work. An example: Pierre Capel writes about the stress response in chapter 6. The statement "a little stress can't hurt" is absolutely correct, as long as it is about acute stress (then you can also take a water solution with the right remedy), but chronic stress is a real assassin. What he then describes in this chapter and what symptoms come from this, I tell just the same in our training. It is so similar. Then you understand that I was totally in a hurrah mood. He also describes e.g. in chapter 20 "Feelings don't exist, they arise": that medicine focuses its attention mainly on reductionist thinking. And that in the field of interactions between systems, processes and forces arise, which are not or hardly recognised in classical medicine.
I don't want to add anything further or interpret the book my way. I just want to point out to you that the insights Pierre Capel describes in this book warmed my heart and I found so much recognition.
I also got in touch immediately. There will be further contact. I know he will come to a Deepening Course in late 2018 or early 2019 (there is no new course before then) to explain more.
We immediately put his book on sale and are also allowed to give away 5 copies.

Not a very easy read....but what a read!

The Emotional DNA
Feelings do not exist, they arise
When we talk about our feelings, we can usually describe them exactly. But how they arise, where they come from and, more importantly, what they all do to us, we often don't know. They swirl throughout our bodies like a fog. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that feelings are linked to rock-hard biochemistry. They not only affect the onset and course of diseases, but also determine health and even our lifespan.

Based on extensive studies, Pierre Capel explains with astonishing clarity how feelings drive our health and how we can influence this, thereby improving our quality of life. In our culture, we think we are mostly rational beings, but is this really true? Positive and negative feelings have an incredibly strong effect on the occurrence and course of all kinds of diseases, such as infertility, arteriosclerosis, depression, tumours, diabetes, etc., but also on symptoms such as pain and anxiety. Sports, yoga and meditation can bring huge positive change in this regard. Emotional DNA combines the magical world of feelings with molecular biology; a world that turns out to be amazingly clear and stripped of existing preconceptions in this fascinating book.

Pierre Capel is emeritus professor of experimental immunology at Utrecht University. Besides years of fundamental and molecular biological research within the field of immunology, he has also worked on the development of new therapies and insights in the field of bone marrow and kidney transplantation and the development of antibody-based immunotherapies. In recent years, he has studied the biochemical background of sports, yoga and meditation. He regularly holds lectures and guest lectures on this subject at home and abroad.
