 The doctors took x-rays and said the thumb was broken and a tendon had been ripped off, and that I would need surgery. I called my mommy (my practitioner) and asked for assistance. She lives in Washington and I live in Colorado. I sat down and over the phone she took me back in time. This time, my thumb went into a bowl of cotton balls instead of the floor. Within the hour my cast was bothersome so I took it off, only to find I had full range of motion and no pain.
When I went to the doctor again they took more x-rays and there was no sign of anything wrong with the thumb. |

 Also potentially harmful to the fetus are the mother's exposure to x-rays during pregnancy or the father's preconception exposure to x-rays.132 One study showed that high amounts of lead and barium in drinking water caused an increased risk of miscarriages.133 Elevated lead in the body has also been linked to preeclampsia134 and lower birth weight.
Mercury has received perhaps the most attention of any of the pesticides and heavy metals. Methylmercury crosses the placenta and can impair the development of the central nervous system in the fetus. |

 Most exciting for Peggie, however, was when she returned to her physician and had repeat x-rays taken of her knee. Her physician was amazed when he compared the current x-rays to those taken two years prior. The comparison revealed that her leg was not angled as much, and he could see increased separation of her bones. Pointing this out to Peggie, he explained that the increased separation of bone on her knee x-ray was evidence that the cartilage had grown back. |

 The "experimental evidence" supporting this theory is mainly based on taking x-rays or ultrasound scans, which can detect only the few stones in the gallbladder that may have grown to a certain size and are calcified (mineral stones). Most diagnostic tools used today are not able to detect the hundreds or thousands of non-calcified, hardened bile deposits in the liver and recognize them as intrahepatic gallstones, as Johns Hopkins University does. |

 Spinal diagnosis involves x-rays, palpation or using a two-pronged thermometer to measure the difference in temperature between the sides of the spine. žIris diagnosis: practitioners use lesions, colourings and blemishes in the iris of the eye to make a diagnosis. Iridology was based on the theories of a Hungarian surgeon, Ignatz von Peczely, but has been developed by several leading iridologists. Particular areas of the iris are considered to be related to parts of the body and sickness in that organ will show itself as markings in that section of the iris. |
| Analyses may be made using x-rays and other imaging machines, and nerve impulses may be measured.
Tests and treatments are carried out on a couch, which can be raised or lowered by the chiropractor. Adjustments are usually made manually,- however, sometimes firm, wedge-shaped 'blocks' are placed around the back or pelvic area to re-align the spine. A high-pressure activator is often used to apply pressure quickly and firmly and some chiropractic adjustments can be more effective by a 'dropped table' technique. |

 Based on the available evidence I do not recommend getting bone-mineral density (BMD) or screening x-rays for vertebral "fractures" you don't know about, since I don't think these represent fractures in the way you and I think of them. Rather, they are simply a settling of the vertebrae, which is part of normal aging. If you don't have a history of fracture, you shouldn't get your bone-mineral density checked and you shouldn't consider treatment for osteoporosis. (Men should not be treated for osteoporosis.) Instead of getting screenings, I recommend that you follow my advice for prevention. |

 The electromagnetic spectrum ranges from radio waves (long wavelengths and low energies) to x-rays and gamma rays (short wavelengths and high energies), with visible light falling at about the midpoint. Of course, modern science has known for decades that the body contains all kinds of energies, including electromagnetic energy. Because the brain produces different kinds of electromagnetic waves (e.g. |
| Information can be inserted into the wave at any Energetic Integratot point in the big body-wave for any number of reasons—physical shock or trauma, emotional shock or trauma, toxins, microbes, parasites, bacteria and fungi, ionizing radiation, x-rays, microwaves, poor nutrition, geopathic stress, and the like. The opposite also is ttue. If corrective information is inserted into the wave at an Integrator anywhere along it, then that information also can change the wave, reforming it in a way that is more in tune with the body's natural state. |

 The wavelengths that would be small enough belong to x-rays, but unfortunately x-rays go through things unaffected, which is what makes them so useful in medicine. This is why one needs to use crystals. The basic principle of crystallography is not that difficult to understand: it is called 'diffraction'. Imagine light waves striking an opaque object with two slits cut in it. Each slit becomes the focal point for circular ripples that spread out from it. Because a given wave coming from the left hits the two slits at the same time, the ripples that come out of the slits will be in synch. |

 The most common tests are blood work, done about half the time, followed by x-rays in two of five admissions. The use of CAT scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has almost tripled in the past ten years; 6% of all patients now receive one or the other diagnostic—a statistic that will merit attention in our concluding chapter.
Three of four admissions received some sort of medication. The most common medications were for pain relief, the most prescribed being acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil) perhaps an indication of seriousness, or lack thereof. |

| When I went to the doctor again they took more x-rays and there was no sign of anything wrong with the thumb. It has not bothered me at all. It also led to me realizing my control issues, changing my perspective on control, and releasing my anger, which raises my positive levels, and so on. Amen for Matrix Energetics.
Rewiring the Brain

| The tiny crystals are too small to be detected by x-rays, and since they do not cause pain, they are rarely noticed. Yet they are big enough to block the flow of liquid through the tiny kidney tubules. Crystals or stones are formed in the kidneys when urinary constituents, which are normally in solution, are precipitated. Precipitation results when these particles occur in excessive amounts or when urine becomes too concentrated. The crystalline particles or stones usually have very sharp edges or angles. |

 Back in the United States, it's become increasingly difficult to take meaningful medical x-rays because too much body fat obscures the images. More than 120,000 U.S. citizens annually now undergo stomach stapling, gastric bypass, or other surgeries to lose weight—and, as a result, they risk developing multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
The worldwide obesity epidemic drives the diabetes epidemic. In 2006, an estimated 246 million people worldwide had diabetes, a phenomenal increase from only 30 million just twenty years ago. |

 Researchers once thought EMFs, especially very low frequency and extremely low frequency EMFs, were safe because they were of such low strength compared to other forms of radiation, such as those from a nuclear reactor or x-rays. But now, as technology proliferates and people are using more electronic devices, some researchers suspect EMFs are contributing to a subtle assault on people's immune systems and overall health.
Electromagnetic changes in the environment can adversely affect the energy balance of the human organism and contribute to disease. |

| The fact that the majority of these stones are just congealed clumps of bile or organic matter makes them more or less "invisible" to x-rays, ultrasonic technologies, and even computerized tomography (CT).
The situation is different with regard to the gallbladder, where up to about 20 percent of all stones can be made up entirely of minerals, predominantly calcium salts and bile pigments. Whereas diagnostic tests can easily detect these hardened, relatively large stones in the gallbladder, they tend to miss the softer, noncalcified stones in the liver. |

| They took x-rays of my feet to see if there was something wrong, but they couldn't find anything," she say. Barbara also suffered from constipation and leg cramps as part of her multiple sclerosis. Finally, she decided to consult with a licensed massage therapist and foot reflexologist.
During the first visit, a 30-minute session where the therapist kneaded, massaged, and pressed on the many knots of muscle tension on the bottom of her feet, Barbara felt a great deal of discomfort. But after three treatments, Barbara's foot pain was substantially reduced. |

| Drug patches, salves, shots, chemical applications, cosmetic treatments, sprays and x-rays can be extremely harmful and often exacerbate existing skin disorders. Instead, attention should be given to what is causing them.
The outer skin continues over the lips and up to the nostrils, proceeding into the innermost parts of the body. This forms the inner skin, which lines the orifices (exits and entrances) as well as the entire gastrointestinal tract. The outer skin's texture, color and appearance may reflect a nutritional deficiency or glandular malfunction. |
| There are cosmic rays, gamma rays, x-rays, various kinds of Ultraviolet rays, the visible light spectrum, consisting of seven color rays, short-wave infrared, infrared, radio waves, and electric waves.
Most of these energy waves are absorbed and used for various processes in the layers of atmosphere that surround the earth. Only a small portion of them - the electromagnetic spectrum - reach the surface of the earth. The human eye, though, can perceive just about one percent of this spectrum. |
| A recent study showed that mammography—a diagnostic tool that uses x-rays to detect breast cancer in women—is highly inaccurate. Only 1 to 10 out of 100 "positive" mammography tests are truly positive, which means that there is a 90 to 99 percent chance of a woman being diagnosed with breast cancer who doesn't have it. Since these tests are not taken only once in a lifetime, the chances of becoming a victim of false diagnosis for breast cancer are very high.
In Great Britain, about 100,000 women per year receive a false diagnosis for breast cancer (not excluding other forms of diagnosis). |

 Interestingly, in spite of the biopsy and all the x-rays, her physicians now deny that this tumor was ever there. It simply does not fit their belief system of what can happen.

 Drawing the beige hospital curtains closed around her makeshift room in the busy ER, Osafo-Mensah quickly explained to Jan and David that even though Jan had been on blood thinners, x-rays showed that she had lost two more areas of lung. Her EKG had as many spikes and valleys as the Swiss Alps. Jan and David were terrified.
It was as if someone had punched a hidden self-destruct button inside Jan's lungs and there was no shutoff switch to be found. She knew that if they couldn't stop the clots from forming, she would lose all the pathways by which oxygen entered her bloodstream. |

| She related that he looked first at her x-rays, and then started rapidly scanning his notes. "I don't believe it. How is this possible?" All of the clinical parameters that he had so carefully documented and outlined were gone. To this doctor's credit, he wanted to know what I had done. Unlike many of us when confronted with new information, he accepted the evidence that his eyes provided and then became curious. My client tells me that he will be sending a few test cases my way soon.
A local neurologist heard about me from some of his patients. |
| Yes, I know x-rays can't be seen by the naked eye, but I had to be able to see the energy in order to know that something was happening. I decided that whether this was a powerful hallucination, a messenger, or something from The X-Files, it was obviously important. I resolved to pay close attention and do whatever seemed to be the most likely course of action.
I slowly realized that there was no way to reach the blockage. I couldn't get to it, and I doubted that the girl's mother would let me drill. |

 X-rays to detect TB in the lung are also somewhat worthless since TB can reside outside the lung. Broxmeyer notes that a more sensitive TB skin test was removed from the market three years ago due to lack of use by clinicians. That test utilized 250 tuberculin units versus only 5 in the current test.
With a test that is not sensitive enough to detect many symptomless cases, current TB surveillance programs amount to "practicallynothing,"says Broxmeyer. World health authorities agree there is a need for a more sensitive test to detect TB. [J National Medical Association 97: 394-96, 2005]. |

 Suspecting that colitis or a peptic ulcer might be causing her vomiting and nausea, a gastroenterologist did an upper GI series, a set of x-rays taken to look for abnormalities in the stomach and small intestine. A psychiatrist suspected an eating disorder or depression. A neurologist gave her a head CT scan to rule out a tumor. She was diagnosed at various times with gastroenteritis, dehydration, depression, and "functional disorder," a term physicians use when they can find no organic or physical explanation for a patient's symptoms and conclude the patient's complaints are all in her head. |
| It was blood tests and hospitalizations, back surgery, chest x-rays, and knee replacements. In one part of the country, practically every woman with breast cancer was still getting a mastectomy long after clinical trials had shown that a breast-sparing lumpectomy with radiation was just as effective. In another, babies were being put in neonatal intensive care units when they didn't need it. They found that patients with back pain were 300 percent more likely to get surgery in Boise, Idaho, than in Manhattan. |
