My Personal Story Reveals "The Truth"
About Autoimmune Diseases
And How You Can Overcome Them Completely
When I was around 8 years of age, my father
became an alcoholic due to losing his business and it was
the constant tension I experienced in our household that
I later realised to be the cause of the sinister health
problems I developed.
I was around the age of 10, when my father
started taking out his frustrations on my mother and it
was this attack that began to silently eat me away on the
inside.
As I explain how this ordeal caused my epilepsy,
I wish to point out that the most important thing I learned
from this experience, is that we need to know what body
functions have faltered to bring about a disorder, so we
can retrain them to become efficient once again, to overcome
that disorder. The only real way to overcome autoimmune
disorders with complete and lasting success, is to reverse
all the faults of the mind and body so they begin to function
efficiently according to the nature of our design.
Walls have ears
When I was around ten years of age my father usually came
home drunk two or three nights a week and abused my mother
in the next room after everyone else was asleep. Because
my parent’s bedroom was next to mine and our beds were
on either side of a common wall, I heard every abusive word
my father spoke.
On several occasions he put his back against
the wall and his feet against my mother and said "come
on Jean, if you are not going to have sex with me, you can
get out of bed" and then I heard his back shuffling
on the wall and my mother fall to the floor. She would then
go out and sleep in the lounge room.
While studying aspects of psychology later
in life, I learned that when we experience threatening ordeals
like this, we breathe very shallow or we hold our breath
completely and we tense our stomach. This is the same reaction
we have if we hear a threatening noise in a dark alley late
at night.
The habits we follow continually,
eventually rearrange the functions of our body
When we continually discourage our lungs from taking deep
breaths, they will eventually take shallow breaths all the
time, because we have spent considerable time encouraging
them to do so. If we never relax our mind and body, we discourage
our nerves from slowing down enough for our mind and body
to reach the deep stage of R.E.M. sleep. (This R.E.M. stage
of sleep is the only time our liver can build up reserves
of glycogen for physical energy, our pancreas can build
up reserves of insulin for hormonal energy and our thyroid
gland can build up thyroid hormone for digestion, muscle
strength and weight control.
If we never take time off to love our family
and friends and enjoy recreational activities, we discourage
a gland in our brain called the substantia nigra from building
up reserves of the life hormone dopamine, which controls
the very heart of our system. These are the "real"
causes of autoimmune disease which is why pharmaceutical
drugs, vitamins and herbs have their place, but they are
not the curative answer.
The thoughts we fall asleep on, continue
to function at
an unconscious level, to influence our ability to heal during
sleep
If we experience crisis just before falling asleep, we also
take the experience into sleep with us and it causes our
subconscious mind to be overactive during sleep which prevents
us from achieving the deep R.E.M. Stage of sleep, the only
time our body can heal back to perfection. This justifies
the saying, "never fall asleep on an argument",
as well as the scripture: "Be ye angry, and sin not:
let not the sun go down upon your wrath:"
Listening to this disharmony, caused me to tense
my stomach and retrain my lungs to breathe less
As I listened to this event through the wall, two or three
nights a week, I began to hate my father and in my mind
I was repeatedly telling him to leave my mother alone. In
reflection, I remember holding my breath as I worked myself
up into a sweat while my silent anger festered inside me.
Many times I experienced stomach cramps after being a part
of this ordeal and many times I had nightmares about it.
Sometimes the stomach cramps would begin even before my
dad arrived home, simply because I knew he was at the pub
getting drunk and that his ordeal usually always followed
his sessions at the pub.
I often tried really hard to fall asleep before
he came home, so I didn’t hear his persecution, but
my fear wouldn’t allow me that luxury until it was
all over.
It was only six months or so after this disharmony
began, that I experienced an allergic reaction to bananas,
custard apples, pineapples, tomatoes, yeast, glutin, wattle,
capok, cats fur, dogs hair, horse hair and pigeon feathers.
None of the doctors my mother took me to see,
even suggested, my food allergies were a result of excessive
stomach tension caused by emotional stress, or that my allergies
to substances in the air, were a result of the fear and
anxiety I was suppressing due to my family disharmony, yet
these facts are well-recorded in medical journals worldwide.
If the doctors at the hospital had taken the
time to explain these facts, my mother would have known
that the family disharmony was the cause of my problems
and she could have made some choices accordingly. Not knowing
and being continually told a lifetime subscription to pharmaceutical
drugs is the only option, just added fuel to my fire of
illhealth.
I was given a list of the foods I was to avoid
and the doctor at the hospital prescribed a lifetime dosage
of polaramine which made me feel dizzy and drowsy all day
long and prevented me from concentrating.
The following medical journals are only
three out of hundreds that reveal, poor digestion and food
allergies are a result of suppressed emotional stress
Emotional stress interferes with digestion
of amino acids, loss of appetite, diminished dopamine, mood
swings and sleep functions: "The International Journal
of Peritoneal Dialysis" 2000, volume 20, book 6, pages
810-816.
Scandinavian Journal of Environmental Health
1997 volume 23, book 3
Pages 75 to 78: Suppressed anxiety,
insecurity, defensiveness and depression encourages abnormal
levels of the immune serum IgE which then encourages the
development of food allergies.
The Medical Journal of Psychosomatic research
1977, volume 21
Page 395: "Suppression of Anger"
disrupts levels of the immune serum IgA, which leads to
allergies to gluten and milk.
I believe this influence of anger over digestion
is even outlined in the bible:
(Proverbs 15:17)
"Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a
stalled ox and hatred therewith."
I now developed bronchitis and was told
to take more drugs for the rest of my life
Even though on many occasions during this time I had experienced
a sudden inability to inhale which made me feel faint, I
was not diagnosed with bronchitis until the age of 11. I
was then given medicine that caused headaches and a heartbeat
that felt as though my heart was going to beat right through
my chest.
In relation to my diagnosis of bronchitis
and my many visits to the hospital for treatment, not once
was my mother or myself informed that medical research revealed,
family disharmony and emotional stress were the cause.
The following medical journals are two
out of hundreds that reveal, respiratory disorders are a
result of suppressed emotional stress
British Journal of Medical Psychology 1963,
volume 36, Pages 211-225
Page 214: Children who suffer from respiratory disorders
develop their disorder due to family disharmony, which usually
includes alcoholism, parental disharmony, separation, divorce
or inability to grieve over a death. (P212) Many medical
investigators consider the asthmatic reaction as "a
repressed call for love in the household".
European Respiratory Journal 1998, volume
12
Pages 71-72: To investigate immune restrictive mechanisms
involved with respiratory disorders and restricted nasal
breathing, 36 patients were questioned and tested. It was
found nasal breathing is restricted by abnormal levels of
immune serum IgE which was caused by suppressed anxiety.
Abnormal levels of IgE are reported in many medical journals
to be caused by suppressed anxiety, insecurity and lack
of harmony.
If we had been told these facts, my mother
could have made choices accordingly. Not knowing and once
again, being told a lifetime subscription to pharmaceutical
drugs is the only option, only encouraged my health to deteriorate
even further.
Not only do medical journals explain
"the cause" of respiratory disorders,
they also explain how to encourage remission
Even back in 1964, medical journals explained,
improving a child’s feelings of security, self-confidence
and self-esteem helps to "overcome" breathing
disorders, but doctors are not trained to tell us these
facts
Journal of Psychosomatic Research 1964-1965,
volume 8 Pages 467-475: Children who lose their respiratory
disorders are children who are made to feel secure and who
experience improvement in self-confidence and self-acceptance.
I now developed epilepsy and was told
to take even more drugs for the rest of my life
Between my diagnosis of bronchitis and my first epileptic
seizure, I began to develop severe pain in my neck and experienced
constant fatigue, regular headache, sweating spasms, tingling
in the fingers of my right hand, shaking in my right hand
and arm, and sudden fainting. I experienced these symptoms
mostly, on the morning after I heard my father persecute
my mother and my neck pain and hand twitching was often
so severe I had difficult writing with a pen. These are
the same symptoms experienced in Parkinson’s and multiple
sclerosis and they are only a result of an overactive stressed
mind during sleep, causing profuse tension in the neck muscles,
a stress response that doctors are not taught about.
As I tried to fall asleep after my father’s
persecution, I had a great deal of difficulty trying to
stop my mind from racing and this is when my neck pains
and headache would flare up to create the arm shaking and
finger numbness I experienced when I awoke the next morning.
Sometimes my mother would massage my neck
and tell me to take deep breaths and hold them until she
counted to four and instructed me to imagine I was relaxing
in a hot bath. This was often the only way I could minimise
these symptoms enough to go to school and be capable of
focusing and writing.
One morning after hearing my father’s
confrontation the night before, I got out of bed feeling
very tired and running a little behind time I scurried out
to my bike and hurried off to school. Just short of my arrival
a feeling of disaster gradually came over me, so I turned
around and carefully headed home. I can tell you I felt
terrible, but I could not describe any of the normal feelings
of sickness. I experienced a terrible nervous trembling
and felt as though I was half out of alignment with myself
if that makes any sense. Have you ever felt as though you
are sinking down lower than your body right into the mattress
of your bed and are about to fall through on to the floor?
Well that’s just how I felt.
I actually felt lower than my body and felt
as though I was going to drop out of my body right on to
the floor underneath my bed. Some time later I vaguely remember
being carried out of my house on a stretcher into an ambulance
then my mind blanked out completely for two days.
When I finally woke up I felt like I had spent
three days trying to cope inside the spin cycle of a Hoover
washing machine. My incredibly supportive mother was by
my side and soon explained to me, I had experienced a major
epileptic seizure and had been in a coma.
For the following six months I felt like a
freak as some of the kids at school wouldn’t even stand
close to me in case I had an attack in front of them. For
the following three years I had many minor seizures but
little was I to know, ten to twelve years later I would
actually be thankful I had experienced such a traumatic
condition. It has allowed me to relate my story to others
who had been suppressing frustration and putting up with
stressful circumstances that must be resolved to find peace
of mind and develop perfect health.
I studied my condition.
After I got over my giant attitude of self-pity, and I was
not easy to get on with for quite some time, I started to
read books on how the brain worked. My family doctor, Dr
Elliott suggested I read some of the simple articles to
get an idea of the brain functions. I think he gave me that
advice because I regularly pestered him with an endless
list of questions but little did I realize that advice and
Dr Elliott’s positive influence established the beginning
of my lifelong career. Dr Elliott was an incredible Doctor
who always helped with the best theories one could give
a fourteen-year-old, but I’m sure there were times
he felt I was a bit of a nuisance.
I was the kid on the block who always wanted
to know how things worked and as a result I was always pestering
people with questions.
Dr Elliott became my father figure and
my hero
Dr Elliott was one of those doctors who, when he looked
at you, you could tell he actually cared about you. He also
had this incredible ability to just look at certain parts
of your body and tell what you had been doing for the last
week. He would look for small white dots on my hand and
tell if I had not been drinking any water, or look at my
tongue and tell how well I had been sleeping.
At that stage of my experience, my neurologist
had put me on 250mg of dialantin three times a day and a
fenabarb tablet morning and night which added more symptoms
to the list. Hot and cold flushes, mood swings, terrible
memory loss and stomach bloating and flatulence.
How I retrained my body and mind to regain
perfect health
After being fed up with the whole depressing scene, I decided
to begin my own fight to regain normality. I saw a television
article on how lack of oxygen causes brain damage and had
read in one of Dr Elliott’s booklets, how blood flow
and oxygen to the brain controls all brain functions, so
I designed some exercises based on a body building book
I read and called them blood flow exercises. I also experienced
a total loss of arm shaking and finger tingling whenever
my mother massaged my neck muscles and told me to breathe
deep and relax, so I designed a special deep breathing exercise
and practiced a specific relaxation that released tension
from my neck and stomach, and practiced them before going
to bed.
I then designed a second stomach relaxation
exercise to help me relax my stomach muscles before eating
meals.
While living through this ordeal I experienced
numerous occasions where I felt an epileptic attack coming
on and immediately began to perform a special exercise using
a unique breathing method, which when combined, increased
my blood oxygen content and improved my blood flow to the
brain. Every time I did this, it "immediately"
eliminated the inner nervous feeling that preceded my previous
epileptic seizures and it eventually eliminated my seizures
permanently. This exercise became a lifesaver to me due
to the incredible immediate relief it gave.
Through combining this exercise with R.E.M.
Sleep improvement procedures I had eliminated my epilepsy
attacks completely and was only experiencing minor allergic
reactions and bronchial episodes.
After eighteen months I was completely off
"all" my medication and was beginning to lift
weights that gave me an incentive to become a weightlifter.
I overcame all my problems in only eighteen
months and kept on following these procedures, to eventually
become one of Australia’s most outstanding athletes.
At the age of 18, I lifted 340lbs in the bench press, to
break the world record and came third in the Queensland
springboard titles, performing dives that required midair
somersaults. Previously if I did a somersault by rolling
on the ground, I ran the risk of fainting.
At this stage of my life, I was totally focused
on becoming an athlete and, studying medicine and natural
therapies to find a happy mix between the two.
Some years later while studying literature
on autoimmune disorders I discovered several medical journal
reports that explained the cause of epilepsy and how to
overcome it. I have chosen the following because it describes
to a tee, exactly what I experienced in my household. It
is almost like the author was there with me. I was completely
disgusted that my neurologist and the doctors at the hospital
did not inform my mother and I of this information as it
would have helped us to no end.
