-  What has "come back" is simply a related issue (aspect) that wasn't addressed in the first place.

-  The original problem was addressed too globally and thus only partially neutralized.

-  The cause of the problem is due to a sensitivity (an energy toxin) to something you ate, drank, 
   breathed or otherwise came in contact with.

Consider, for example, that....

-  Therapists are routinely teaching the process to their clients for use at home.
-  Teachers are learning it for use with their students.
-  Coaches are learning it for use with their athletes.
-  Parents are learning it for use with their children.
-  Physicians are learning it for pain management with their patients.
-  Massage practitioners are blending it with their existing procedures for longer and more lasting
   results.
-  Spiritual leaders are applying it to those in need.
-  Chiropractors, acupuncturists and homeopathy practitioners are augmenting their practices and 
   teaching it to patients for self use.

It is estimated that EFT enthusiasts using these procedures to help others exceeds 100,000 and it has probably been applied over 1 million times worldwide. Less than 1% adverse reactions have been reported, usually in clients with severe emotional and psychiatric conditions.

It was designed so that beginners could learn it easily but it was also designed with all the elements necessary for true mastery. There have been many spectacular healings using EFT alone.

You can fill in the blank with almost any ailment. Examples have been....

-  Does EFT work on knee pain?
-  Does EFT work on snoring?
-  Does EFT work on Multiple Sclerosis?
-  Does EFT work on Reactive Attachment Disorder?
-  Does EFT work on animals?
-  Does EFT work on pre-verbal children?
-  Does EFT work on Alzheimer's Disease?
-  Does EFT work on Ritual Abuse?

And so on...with a list of thousands of ailments.

The answer to all these questions is... Yes! There is a high likelihood that, properly applied, EFT will either improve or completely eliminate the problem.

That does NOT mean, however, that EFT has been perfected to the point where it can cure everything. On the contrary, there is still a lot to learn about its uses... AND... sometimes the results will depend on the "sophistication of the EFT application".

It DOES mean that improvements have been seen in such a wide variety of ailments that it is no stretch to conclude that its uses are nearly universal....although not yet perfect across the board.

This One-Procedure-Fits-All feature of EFT brings quizzical looks to the faces of most newcomers because they have been conditioned to think that, for each ailment, there is a specific remedy.

Thus we take Tylenol for a headache and Prozac for depression. Along the same lines, there are specific medications (remedies) for everything from arthritis to high blood pressure to Anxiety to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. There is even competition among advertisers for which remedy is the best for a specific ailment (Tylenol vs. Advil, for example).

So, newcomers become confused when they hear that the same EFT Basic Recipe that is used for back pain is also used for grief, trauma, anger, carpal tunnel and everything else. This notion doesn't fit with their previous conditioning.

Nonetheless, that's how it is.

One point of clarification: While the same mechanical Basic Recipe is used for all ailments, the APPROACHES to the various problems can differ widely. There is an "art of delivery" which is necessary for complicated cases and this involves finding core issues and aspects as well as appropriate reframing and other artistic uses of this flexible tool.

P.S. EFT is not meant as a substitute for other healing procedures (even though it often does the job by itself). Rather, you are encouraged to use EFT with the guidance of a qualified health professional.

We learn in high school chemistry class that the building blocks of ALL matter (including human bodies) are ATOMS. No one disputes this fact. Nor does anyone dispute that atoms are made of ENERGY.

Einstein further emphasized this point with his Theory of Relativity wherein he developed the famous formula, Energy = Mass times the speed of Light squared.

In simple terms this means that physical matter (including the human body) is MADE OF ENERGY. Thus, even though the human body may appear to be solid, its foundation is made of energy. This simple fact is one of the most universally agreed upon findings in the scientific world. It's acceptability ranks right up there with the laws of gravity.

However, for reasons known only to the cosmos, the Western healing sciences have ignored it. How short-sighted! Instead, they continue to regard the human body as a physical entity and thus walk right by its energy roots. They treat the body as a bag filled with body parts and chemicals.

Thus their methods involve the repair and replacement of body parts (surgery) and the "correction" of body chemistry by other chemicals (drugs).

Many useful things have come from this conventional approach. In fact, we are all very glad it is around and respect those diligent scientists and healing practitioners that have used this approach. In the words of EFT Founder, Gary Craig, "if I had a burst appendix, for example, I would enthusiastically volunteer myself for the surgeon's table".

However, for the Western healing sciences to ignore the well established fact that the body, at its core, is made of energy is like wearing glasses that only permit vision up to 10 feet. EFT'ers are offering these conventional folks a pair of longer range glasses and, gradually, the skeptics are trying them on. Those among them that have "seen" cannot unsee and thus are adding to the snowball of education that is bringing these procedures to the public.

Anyone who has been around the competent use of EFT for even a few weeks has surely seen many instances where dramatic progress has been made on both the physical and emotional levels WITHOUT ANY CONVENTIONAL METHODS BEING USED. Many of these results completely violate the beliefs inherent in the Western healing sciences. For example, how is it possible, under conventional Western definitions....

-  For Post Traumatic Stress Disorder to fade completely without psychiatric drugs?
-  For many lifelong phobias to vanish in what we call "one minute wonders"?
-  For addictive cravings to be quenched in moments?
-  For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome to disappear without the normally prescribed surgery?
-  For Lactose Intolerance to vanish even though the patient is not supposed to have the enzymes
   necessary to digest milk products?
-  For migraine headaches to fade (often permanently and often in moments) without any form of drugs
   whatsoever?

Yet EFT'ers perform these "miracles" daily....as well as hundreds more. The World Center for EFT web site is full of such evidence. Western healing practitioners are hard pressed to explain these results except to use a "placebo" or a "spontaneous remission" or a "mind over matter" explanation. They cannot be explained through the current paradigm. Accordingly, what is needed is another way to look at the human body...another paradigm. The conventional explanations obviously need help.

And what more logical choice is there than to follow Albert Einstein and the most fundamental scientific findings of the last century. Why don't scientists view the body as an energy configuration and see where that leads? EFT'ers have been doing this for years and the clinical evidence is mountainous. It is pointing to the obvious and the results are often jaw dropping....even when performed by lay citizens.

It is not meant to forsake the many conventional findings that have brought us unmistakable healing benefits. Rather, it is suggested that we unlock the doors to the obvious and blend EFT with the best of our other healing achievements. The results should take healing to an entirely new (and affordable) level.
