Four Theoretical Models

• The Borysenko Model (immune system)
• The Pert Model (nervous system)
• The Gerber Model (psycho-mind)
• The Pelletier Premodel (piecing things together)

The Pert Model

• Research have identified nerve endings that
  connect the CNS directly to the immune system.
• Neuropeptides (produced by brain) fit like keys
  into receptors of lymphocytes, altering (- or )
  immune function.
• Studies document the effect of positive emotions
  on enhanced immune function (molecules of
  emotion).

6
The Pert Model (continued)

• Whereas before Perts findings, it was believed
  that cortisol played the crucial role in
  immuno-suppression, it is now thought that
  structural changes in neuropeptides, influenced
  by emotional thought, play the most significant
  role in immuno-incompetence.

The Gerber Model (continued)

• A brief lesson in Subtle Anatomy
• 1. The Human Energy Field
• (the human aura-electromagnetic energy)
• 2. The meridian energy system
• (based on Chinese medicine)
• 3. The chakra energy system
• (based on Ayurvedic medicine)

9
A Brief Lesson on the Chakra System

• Chakra Body Region Emotional Aspect
• 1. Crown Chakra Crown Spiritual issues
• 2. Brow Chakra Head Cognitive issues
• 3. Throat Chakra Thyroid Self-expression/
• Assertiveness

10
A Brief Lesson on the Chakra System (continued)

• Chakra Body Region Emotional Aspect
• 4. Heart Chakra Heart Anger issues
• 5. Solar Plexus Chakra Adrenals Anxiety issues
• 6. Naval Chakra GI Tract Self-esteem
  issues
• 7. Root Chakra Sex Organs Security issues

11
Support for the Gerber Model

• Electromagnetic pollution affects ones health
• MRIs are based on electromagnetic energy, quantum
  physics, and the law of entrainment
• Military design of weapons based on human energy
  field
• CIA use of remote viewing based on non-local mind
  
• Scientific studies validate many aspects of
  Subtle Anatomy

12
Gerbers Model of Stress and Disease

• Thoughts are particles of energy. (Negative)
  thoughts are accompanied by emotions which also
  begin at the energy levels. As these particles of
  energy filter through from the etheric level to
  the physical level, the end result is
  immunoincompetence.

Ghosts in the Biomedical Model Machine

• These events leave people scratching their
  biomedical heads
• Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD)
• Spontaneous remissions (e.g., cancerous tumors,
  etc.)
• Placebos and nocebos (belief systems)
• Cell memory
• Subtle energy healings and nonlocal prayer
  healings
• Immunoenhancement

14
Target Organs and Their Disorders

• Initially or ultimately one or more organs in the
  body is the recipient of stress-based
  neurological and hormonal activity that causes
  wear and tear, to the point where it no longer
  functions optimally.
• Disorders, at the present time, appear to fall
  into two categories
• Nervous system disorders
• Immune system disorders

15
Nervous System-Related Disorders

• Bronchial asthma
• Tension headaches
• Migraine headaches
• TMJD (temporomandibular joint disorder)
• IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)
• Coronary heart disease

16
Immune System-Related Disorders

• The common cold and influenza
• Allergies
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Ulcers and colitis
• Lupus
• Cancer
