The drug is severely toxic due to the strychnine content and should not be administered in allopathic medicine. overdosage Symptoms of poisoning can occur after ingestion of one bean. Strychnine doses of as little as 1.5 mg (30-50 mg of the drug) initially cause restlessness, feelings of anxiety, heightening of sense perception, enhanced reflexes, equilibrium disorders and painful stiffness of the neck and back musculature. Later, twitching, tonic spasms of the masseter and neck musculature, and finally, painful convulsions of the entire body are triggered by visual or tactile stimulation.

So it is not necessary, as it is in allopathic medicine, to get a reading of every item within a system, such as blood gases, cholesterol level, potassium level, and the like. Instead, we can look at the state of the larger energetic and informational structures themselves—your body-field's Drivers, Integrators, Stars, and others. (For a more detailed discussion of these components of the body-field, see specific chapters later in this part of the book.) By correcting distorted structures, everything within those structures is affected.

It is no longer administered in allopathic medicine. The alkaloids are severely irritating to the mucous membranes, and because they inhibit inactivation of the sodium ion channels after resorption, the alkaloids have a paralyzing effect on numerous excitable cells, in particular those governing cardiac activity.

Homeopathy was widely practiced in the 1800s, with successes greatly exceeding allopathic medicine, which used combative drug therapy. The pharmaceutical industry and the American Medical Association squeezed homeopathy out of the health practice picture in the early 1900s by discrediting it and providing financial support to only those medical colleges that offered instruction based on pharmaceuticals. In the last decade, however, homeopathy has made a comeback, especially among naturopathic physicians.

It is no longer administered in allopathic medicine for that reason. The alkaloids are severely mucous membrane-irritating and after resorption have, by inhibiting inactivation of the sodium ions channels, a paralyzing effect upon numerous excitable cells, in particular those governing cardiac activity. OVERDOSAGE The first symptoms of poisoning are sneezing, lacrimation, salivation, vomiting, diarrhea, a burning sensation in the mouth and pharyngeal cavity, and inability to swallow.

This insight has enormous implications for any healing biotechnology. allopathic medicine recognizes this in its testing by denoting certain normal ranges for things, such as aspects of blood chemistry. The body has flexibility. It can handle fluctuations within certain parameters. Your cholesterol level should be below 200, so 175 is in the safe range, as is 183 and 167. It is not necessary to detect the one right answer when dealing with many of the parameters of the body, for the body at the systems level often doesn't need a single correct answer. The same is true of nature at large.
NES is based on a set of principles and concepts that is quite foreign to allopathic medicine. Because Peter was dealing with energetic structures, albeit quantum ones, and not the specific parts of the physical body per se, the clinical emphasis of the NES health care system is focused at the energetic systems level, not the physical symptoms level. The Infoceuticals do not directly affect anything physical in the body, for all of the organs and physiological processes and such are subsystems of the larger body, which itself is under the control, energetically, of the full body-field.

It is no longer administered in allopathic medicine for that reason. The veratrum alkaloids severely irritate mucous membranes. By inhibiting inactivation of sodium ion channels, the resorption of alkaloids has a paralyzing effect on numerous excitable cells, particularly those governing cardiac activity. overdosage The first symptoms of poisoning are sneezing, lacrimation, salivation, vomiting, diarrhea, a burning sensation in the mouth and pharyngeal cavity, and inability to swallow.
The drug is not to be administered in allopathic medicine. No risks are known in connection with the administration of homeopathic dosages of the drug. overdosage The mucous membrane-irritating effect of the saponins appears to play the largest role in poisonings with the drug, resulting in scratchiness in mouth and throat, salivation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, shortness of breath, and possible convulsions and asphyxiation. The ingestion of very large dosages leads to disorders of cardiac function (cardiac arrhythmia).

Peru's National Program in Complementary Medicine and the Pan American Health Organization recently compared Complementary Medicine to allopathic medicine in clinics and hospitals operating within the Peruvian Social Security System [13]. A total of 339 patients — 170 being treated with Complemantary Alternative Medicine and 169 with allopathic medicine — were followed for one year. Treatments for osteoarthritis; back Pain; neuroses; asthma; peptic acid disease; tension and migraine headache; and obesity were analyzed.

In other words, bioenergetics looks for the web of interconnected root causes, whereas allopathic medicine, for the most part, looks at observable symptoms. Both approaches serve their purpose, but they are fundamentally different approaches to healing. In some respects, NES goes even farther than most other complementary healing approaches and extends our previous understanding of bioenergetics, because Peter's research has identified a structure to the body-field. That structure affects how information moves between the body-field and physical body.
For people new to bioenergetics and biophysics, and even for those familiar with complementary medicine, it can take a huge conceptual leap to not think in terms of allopathic medicine, in which there is a one-to-one correspondence between a disease and an organ or physiological process. That is not usually true in bioenergetic healing. So let's take a moment to discuss the logic of bioenergetic healing, which can seem almost completely opposite to the logic of conventional medicine. THE LOGIC OF BIOENERGETIC HEALING In conventional biology, the body has a physical and a biochemical reality.
In effect, NES and some of the other complementary medical systems, such as TCM, are working via the energetic and informational feedback loops that are not evident in the biochemical model of healing of most allopathic medicine. According to our research, these feedback loops are what drives the body's biochemistry.

At the very least, they can supplement the arsenal of allopathic medicine; in the many cases of "miraculous" cures, they make medical treatment unnecessary Quantum es To get the right answers, you have to ask the right questions. To the scientists of a generation ago, the idea that DNA might be malleable was unthinkable. Genes were taken to determine the physical characteristics of organisms, and that was that.

Transdermal Magnesium Therapy

This has been treated by allopathic medicine with magnesium sulfate but this has led to problems we discussed in the chapter that compares magnesium sulfate to magnesium chloride. In animal studies it has been shown that magnesium plays a role in ovule maturation, sperm viability and fecundation. In rats, pregnancy cannot be normal unless the food contains an adequate supply of magnesium. Severe or mild deficiencies affect the site of fetal implantation and, if they are prolonged, lead to abortion in the first instance and pathological disorders in the latter.
Magnesium Effects During Pregnancy Dropping levels of magnesium during pregnancy leads to premature contraction and this has been treated by allopathic medicine mostly with magnesium sulfate. But high-dosage, tocolytic magnesium sulfate administered to pregnant women during pre-term labor can be toxic, and sometimes lethal, for their newborns.3 A Medline search found MgS04 had 53 reports of its use in prematures,4 whereas MgCl2 had only 4 papers of its use. The paper sited just above showed the results of severe overdose of the mothers, 50 grams or more of MgS04.
Men and women, whose primary allegiances are to the pharmaceutical companies, have an exceedingly difficult time listening to anything that challenges the basic practice and philosophy of allopathic medicine. Though this might feel like war talk we must remember that millions of people around the world are dying of iatrogenic (i.e., induced inadvertently via medical diagnosis, surgery, or treatment) death each year and uncounted millions suffer from iatrogenic diseases.
In ancient China the oriental medical doctors were paid for keeping people well thus patients stopped paying when they fell sick. allopathic medicine, through its major misunderstanding, denial and neglect of preventive medicine, is directly contributing to modern man becoming the most diseased population in the history of the world. Doctors and health officials really have no idea that the vast majority of diseases can be prevented and even cured without drugs or surgery. In fact, the idea of natural, non-surgical treatments and cures of disease would most likely sound absurd to them.
Magnesium Treatments Magnesium chloride is so safe and effective we have to wonder why it has been ignored by allopathic medicine. One explanation was offered as early as 1943 by Dr. ANeveu, "Official Medicine saw in magnesium chloride Therapy a threat to its new and growing business: vaccinations." In the 1940's Dr. Neveu used the magnesium chloride solution in a case of diphtheria to reduce the risks of anaphylactic reaction due to the anti-diphtheria serum that he was ready to administer.

Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong

Traditional Western medical techniques fall under the heading of allopathic medicine, and serve us well as far as they go. But when they fall short, I try treatments some physicians would never think of trying—as long as they're safe. These methods aren't routinely taught to medical students, but they seem to help some people feel better. I view them as complementary to my usual medical approach. But let me be clear: I have a set of rules for trying these treatments. Those rules are relatively simple, but they are still rules.

The Autoimmune Epidemic

Donna Jackson Nakazawa

In what is known as allopathic medicine, physicians are trained to seek out "the differential diagnosis"—a disease name that alerts the doctor to what disease the patient has from a larger group of disorders with similar symptoms. Often, the doctor doing the diagnosing is a specialist—trained to look specifically at the neurological, gastrointestinal, or rheuma-tological aspects of disease—but certainly not all bodily systems together.

What is frightfully wrong is to presume that conventional allopathic medicine is the whole of medicine. This is like the drum thinking that it's the whole orchestra: while it might be a fantastic drum, providing exactly the right drama and exactly the right effects during its assigned parts in the symphony, when it starts to sound continuously, the result is a cacophony that masks subtler sounds.
It's important for each of us to have at least a rough idea of whether our condition can be effectively treated by allopathic medicine, or whether the best leverage point comes from an alternative therapy. One of the most intriguing experiments in setting up the clinic of the future—one that encompasses both conventional and alternative approaches—is an establishment called the Integrative Medical Clinic of Santa Rosa (California), or IMCSR. Robert Dozor, M.D., and his wife Ellen Barnett, M.D., Ph.D., established their treatment center in 2001.
As such, it is the place to start treatment, not a place to go once the remedies offered by allopathic medicine have been exhausted, as so many patients do. Energy systems underlie cellular architecture; they are the first place to start building a foundation for vibrant health. If you have a serious or life-threatening medical condition, immediate treatment is warranted. "When you've been hit with a poisoned arrow," advised the Buddha, "take the arrow out before you have a metaphysical discussion.
You have options like electrostimulation and Healing Touch, which can improve conditions that baffle allopathic medicine. Once you've researched soul medicine modalities, you are ready to choose a practitioner, or team of practitioners, to assist you on your healing journey. Making the right choices here can make an enormous difference. There may be only one local practitioner of the method you want to explore, or there may be dozens. It will require some work on your part to narrow your search. What is the best way to approach it? First, faith in your practitioner is essential.

Alternative Medicine There's a difference, then, between complementary medical techniques that can work alongside allopathic medicine even though they come from other traditions, and alternative medicine that turns its back on the traditional approach outright. Some examples would include the belief of some chiropractors that spinal manipulation can treat diseases such as asthma, or the idea of homeopathy that diluting a toxin a million-fold makes it able to relieve symptoms that are similar to those produced by the toxin. Some people believe there is an herb to treat every complaint.
