The Most Difficult Health Challenge You Will Ever Face

Over the years of helping people with their health, by far there is one health challenge that ALL of my patients have in common that has proven more challenging for me to help them with and for them to receive help with than any other challenge.  This is not a disease listed in the Physician’s Desk Reference or even in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Psychiatry, or any pathology or physiology or endocrinology or biochemistry textbook.  Like other health concerns, while there is a structural, chemical and emotional component to this health challenge, it is mainly emotional in nature.

Psychologists traditionally call this health challenge “resistance” and Applied Kinesiologists tend to use the terms Umbilical Reversal or Psychological Reversal.  While these are three entirely separate findings being discussed, they all have a number of things in common.  The psychologically reversed patient attracts into their life the exact opposite of what they would consciously like to have.  Psychological Reversal is based on the work of Roger Callahan, the Psychologist and Applied Kinesiologist.  The Umbilically Reversed patient also attracts the exact opposite of what they are wanting in their lives, but on a much deeper level than the Psychologically Reversed patient. If there is a positive finding for Umbilical Reversal, the patient’s entire belief system is reversed, neurologically disorganized, or switched.  (Fortunately, there are a number of papers that have been published which review this finding.  Dr. John Diamond M.D. is the one who first identified Umbilical Reversal.  Please refer to Dr. Diamond’s The Collected Papers of John Diamond, M.D. Vol. II and also The Fitness of Human Nature by Timothy D. Francis, D.C. as well as, The Use of the Splint Orthodontic Myofunctional Appliance (SOMA) to correct Cranial, Neck Distortions, Pelvic Imbalances, Tempormandibular Joint Dysfunction, Mental Illness / Brain Misprocessing and Umbilical Reversal by Dr. Darrick Sahara, D.C..

Umbilical Reversal is an important part of our culture.  We have all heard of and probably known attractive young women who are attracted to “Bad Boys” who treat them poorly and even abuse them.  This is not really the type of relationship that these women consciously want, but because they are reversed, this is whom they attract and stay with for a period of time even after being abused.  Most of us have heard the expression, “It is the people that you help the most that appreciate you the least.”  This is often true because people who are very reversed and sick need a lot of help from others but their core values are reversed and so they have very little appreciation for the good things in their lives.

Allow me to give you a few examples of how Umbilical Reversal presents itself in clinical practice.  An important part of the more advanced Applied Kinesiology training allows the Kinesiologist to identify and treat Umbilical Reversal early on in the treatment process.  This process of identifying a patient with Umbilical Reversal is begun by identifying if there are any obvious psychological reversals present.  Muscle testing is used by the Applied Kinesiologist in order to determine bone alignment, emotional balance, and even chemical imbalance.  This is invaluable because muscles relate directly to bones, joints, emotions and nutrients (chemicals).  To simplify, when a muscle has normal function, the muscle fibers will lock when a force is applied.  When a muscle has abnormal function, the muscle fibers will not lock properly when a force is applied.  When a person is congruent with a statement that they make out loud, normally functioning muscles continue to function normally.  When a person is consciously or unconsciously incongruent with a statement that they make out loud, then a properly functioning muscle fails to function properly and becomes weak.  When I say that they muscle becomes weak I mean that the muscle fibers do not lock properly when a force is applied. To identify the Psychological Reversal, the patient is asked to say a number of statements.  The following are some of these statements: “I want to get well and stay well;” “I want to have a good life;” “Life is good;” “I deeply and profoundly love myself with all of my faults and shortcomings;” “I am in charge of my life;” “I really, really love myself;” “I want to be pain free;” etc…. If they patient weakens to any of these statements then they are Psychologically Reversed.  If you find this hard to believe or do not understand what is being written here after re-reading the above text 4 to 5 times then it is likely that you are Psychologically Reversed.  This is not bad or good – it is simply the nature of things. For the Umbilically reversed patient, certain phrases and statements are of particular importance.  Because we are in a Christian-Judeo country, the majority of people believe in God, a God, a Higher Power or that there is some life form or organized intelligence in the universe that is greater than themselves.  With this in mind, the patient is asked to repeat the statement, “God is good.”  If they do not believe in God then this statement is irrelevant and they are not asked to say it.  Other statements that will suffice are: “I am good, love is good, clean air is good, pure water is good,” etc.  The patient that shows positively for Umbilical Reversal will weaken to a positive test statement such as one of these above.  The same person will strengthen to a negative or destructive life statement.  Here are some negative or destructive life statements: “God is bad, I am bad, love id bad, clean air is bad, pure water is bad,” etc.  It is as if the patient’s most basic belief systems necessary for growth and survival are reversed.

A little bit more than a year ago I had this one couple come in, a man and his wife, and they both had severe Umbilical Reversal as well as Psychological Reversal. The lady, Ellen, had been going to the bathroom doing number 2 only about once every 5 days for more than 25 years. She had a Thyroid condition called Graves disease. The man, had blood sugar imbalances that were so severe that he had been previously diagnosed as borderline pre-diabetic. I was able to help Ellen with her health quite a bit during the first 3 or 4 visits to the point where she was having a daily bowell movement. The Psychological Reversal technique requires that the patient say a positive statement and the opposite negative statement as described above. If a strong indicator muscle gets weak with a positive statement and/or stays strong with a negative statement then this is a positive finding for Psychological Reversal. I would ask Ellen to say such statements as “life is good” which would cause her muscles to weaken. Then I would have her say such statements as “life sucks” which would cause her muscles to become strong. Then I would have her say statements like “rape is bad” which would cause her muscles to weaken. Then I would have her say statements such as “rape is good” which would cause her muscles to strengthen. I explained to her the relationship between the muscles staying strong and her being unconsciously CONGRUENT (or o.k. with) with the statement that allowed her muscles to stay strong. I further explained that if she says “rape is good” and her muscles stay strong then on a subconscious level she believes that rape is good. No matter how many times I went over this with her or how clearly I explained it to her, she just did not understand it. In fact, she even refused to say the negative statements soon. Her husband was convinced that he was perfectly healthy and that his blood sugar was of no major concern. In spite of feeling major improvements after just a couple of visits, he decided that the visits were too expensive for him. We are talking about a fellow who lives in a 2.5 million dollar home in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the United States and who makes over $150,000 per year just in passive income. Interestingly, prior to his wife coming in for care he was encouraging me to charge as much as possible per visit because he claimed that it would be a good write off for some reason (I am not sure how this would work.) Here we see a reversal of core values. Health comes secondary and is not worth much money. Ellen was so confused that she could not even say the negative statement in spite of there being a doctor there to guide her.

I would like to share with you another example of someone who came in just recently. We will call this person Sally. Sally was having a great deal of trouble with a recent death of a family member and the inability to lose weight over many years. I talked with Sally a great deal explaining my therapies that they should be very effective for her but that they would require a number of lifestyle changes which she may find challenging to integrate. I also shared with her the great successes of a few of my patients who came in and had followed the lifestyle changes I gave them and improved with the treatments. I specifically shared about some patients who lost weight in spite of not needing to restrict calories. Sally decided to get started with the therapies. She was diagnosed as having severe depression and numerous mental and emotional disorders not to mention previous cancer and other serious health concerns. I knew that I would be able to help her if and only if she would follow the lifestyle changes I were to give her and needed referrals. At the end of the first visit I referred her out to a psychologist for several visits and prescribed some nutrients. Additionally, I made a special exception for her (which I never do) by lowering my fee. She had started care at the same time that I had had a fee increase and so this was warranted. Her response was amazing. Learning that a psychologist would be helpful, she immediately began to cry and acuse me of tricking her. When I handed her a sheet of paper that had a 3 week dietary plan on it she accused me of having told her that my health care recommendations do not include any dietary changes. She paid the reduced fee; she refused to get the nutrients that would be needed for her improvement, and left. Needless to say, after having been scolded and reprimanded, I was not feeling very upbeat. I called her a few days later to refer her out to another health care provider in the area who specializes in female hormonal imbalances. She then called me back right away and explained that she wanted me to give her another chance and that she was sorry and that she would pick up the nutrients that I recommended and use them as prescribed. Unfortunately, I gave in and agreed to continue to have her under my care. Of course, this was a big mistake.
On her next visit, Sally came in and claimed that her energy levels had improved in addition to her mood but that her weight had actually increased a couple of pounds. She did not follow the diet that I gave her but only made two of the dietary changes that I recommended. I explained that this probably had a lot to do with her gaining weight as well as her general chronic condition. She started to then accuse me of tricking her saying that I recommended only two small dietary changes rather than those on two sheets of paper that I had given her. I wasn’t sure how to respond to this – I believe that I apologized for any misunderstanding and told her that we should continue with the treatment for the day. The treatment began and was going quite well. She was relatively easy to adjust and all of the adjustments were quite smooth. Then, I began a therapy protocol for the pelvis and in the middle of the treatment she explained to me that she did not think that the therapy was helping. I had never had a patient who had been so misguided as to think that I would provide a therapy that was not effective – especially when I am documented to be one of the world’s leading experts in my particular field. I found this shocking and was not sure what to do. I told her that we could stop if she would like and that I was not sure why she thought that the therapy was ineffective. I also proceeded to explain the therapy in detail so that she would better understand it. She did not listen to me at all. Instead, she began to yell and accuse me of overcharging her and telling me that my therapies were ineffective. She quickly walked to the door without paying. This type of behavior is common in people with severe blood sugar disturbances. I went outside to remind her of her bill and she refused to pay. At this time, her bill is in collections. In both the example of Sally and Ellen, both ladies had considerable improvements in their health quickly and yet, they really did not want to get well and stay well on a deep, unconscious level. Sally had improved her digestion and bowell movements in ways that she had not experienced in more than 30 years and Ellen improved her energy levels and mood a great deal in just one visit. These are good examples of serious cases of both Psychological Reversal and also Umbilical Reversal.

Here are a few questions for you that might help spread some more light on this subject as it may pertain to you.

  • Have you gone to more than 5 or 6 different health care providers for the same health concern?
  • Do you suffer from a chronic health condition?
  • Have you ever suffered from cancer in the past?
  • Are you diabetic or do you have known blood sugar handling difficulties?
  • Do you suffer from a Thyroid condition, a Heart Condition, chronic digestive disturbances, or chronic bladder and/or kidney infections?
  • Has anyone in your family ever suffered from a heart condition? If your grandparents did, then they count.
  • Have you or anyone in your family ever needed to use an anti-depressant?
  • Have you or anyone in your family ever suffered from more than 4 wrist, ankle or knee or foot or hand injuries?
  • Have you ever had trouble speaking or lost your speech?
  • Have you ever been divorced?
  • Has anyone in your family suffered from alcoholism?
  • Have any family members or relatives committed suicide?
  • Have any family members been diagnosed with ADHD, ADD, schizophrenia, lupus, or dyslexia?
  • Have you ever had any type of learning disorder or has anyone in your family ever had any type of learning disorder?
  • Have you been vaccinated as a child? And as an adult?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you are likely to suffer from Psychological Reversal and/or Umbilical Reversal. All of the above conditions or conditions in the family are extremely common umong umbilically reversed and psychologically reversed people. Luckily, there is a treatment for these conditions and the treatment is very effective and long lasting. It might be wise to seek treatment soon to set your life in the correct direction.

This post should have proved EXTREMELY helpful for anyone suffering from a chronic health ailment. If it has not, please let me know why.
