In my last article I referenced the Health for Life article that was in the Sept. 27,2004 edition of Newsweek Magazine. I mentioned that they estimated that 60-90 percent of all doctor visits involved stress related complaints (In February 2007 a new study of primary care physicians estimated that number to be 75-90 percent). The Newsweek article went on to say "The challenge is to map the pathways linking mental states to medical ones, and travel them at will." I then explained that alternative Doctors had been doing this for at least 20 years.

Candace Pert PhD, research professor department of Physiology and Biophysics, Georgetown University School of Medicine in a radio interview regarding her book "Your Body Is Your Subconcious Mind" stated that in patients with documented multiple personality disorder medical scientists have documented different medical conditions present in one personality may be absent when they switch to another personality, such as blood markers for allergies, far sightedness and blood pressure problems. The list of athletes and entertainers that posses the raw talent for success in their fields yet continue to fail is long. The mind is a powerful thing that can bring us success or that can be programmed inadvertently to bring us failure.

The Ideal Protein Diet/Treatment is set up to bring success to every paient with safe, rapid and sustained fat loss. But ultimately for some, intervention by their healthcare provider may be necessary to ensure success.

As an example, tragically I find that some women who have been sexually molested as children have admitted that they have allowed themselves to become unattractive by gaining weight so as not to invite or bring attention to themselves in the hopes of preventing another unwanted sexual predator from taking advantage of them. The feelings that they retain all of their lives is heart breaking. I have had women in their 80's tear up as they recalled these unwanted predator attacks.

I mentioned last week that simple muscle response testing could detect these hidden emotions and simple, fast treatments could reverse their negative effects on the body. For instance the subjects "obesity", "overweight" and "overeating" have the following emotions; Using food as a a substitute for affection, Inability to express true feelings, Seeking love, Protecting the body, Trying to fulfill the self, Stuffed feelings, are found under "Obesity " in Karol K. Truman's book Feelings Buries Alive Never Die...one of the references we use for emotional work. Like a lie detector test looking for a physiological stress response to questioning, hidden negative emotions are revealed by muscle response testing that can lead the practitioner to the emotions that are "running the show."

For most people who go on the Ideal Protein Diet/Treatment program, they experience 3-5 pounds/week fat loss if they are females and 5-7 pounds/week if they are males. If they are faithfully following our protocol and start slowing down with fat loss checking for negative emotions and psychological reversal is a logical place to look for possible self sabotage.
