The question you should ask yourself is not if, but HOW you can get well.

The future is alternative

Imagine you were to travel back in time to the Middle Ages. You would tell the people you meet there about solar drives and smartphones, and that the earth was round.

That puerperal fever has hygienic causes and that the plague could be controlled immediately by fighting the rats. How would the people of the Middle Ages react? The majority would probably be quite skeptical. After all, there are explanations and interpretations of the aforementioned topics at that time, from highly respected people from business, the church and the nobility.

Even if you could substantiate your claims by practical application at any time, you would still be met with more skepticism than admiration. Similar to such a journey through time, the discoverers of unconventional self-healing methods presented in this book may have to face today.

No matter how well-founded someone documents his method through studies and dozens of repetitions of the process, there is always someone who torpedoes the matter. Not seldom only with the argument: "Too good to be true".

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, and then you win."

What gives me an unshakable confidence is the fact that these pioneers not only have incredible successes to show, but are also increasingly able to present the scientific data that explains these successes, at least in part.

Today we live in a time when you are literally overwhelmed by the abundance of therapy options - conventional or alternative. If you look around a bit on the Internet on the subject of "unconventional (self-) healing", you will come across an offer that is difficult to keep track of and even more difficult to verify. Filtering out those methods that have demonstrably helped numerous people, or that are effective for your individual situation, seems a bit like playing the lottery.

Summarizing a few crazy-sounding ideas is no great feat. The far more difficult part is finding strategies that actually work. Because the vast majority of energetic miracle cures touted out there are simply hokum. But just because of that, don't deny yourself access to unconventional healing.

So, in order to separate the wheat from the chaff, I embarked on a research marathon that took over 3 years of my full attention. I read countless books, the associated scientific studies, listened to hundreds of hours of podcasts and YouTube interviews, booked seminars and workshops and was also lucky enough to meet one or two pioneers in person.

And the deeper I delved into the matter, the more fascinated I became. In my opinion, this is nothing less than a revolution in the making. The real revolution is not to be found in the methods themselves, but in the realization that every individual has powerful tools at his or her disposal with which to influence his or her own state of health.

Somewhere I once read about how starship engineers go about selecting board technologies. I liked this approach and therefore copied it: Only what works gets in. That means the least possible complexity and error-proneness with maximum efficiency and reliability.

Reliability in our case means that the effectiveness is proven either scientifically or by numerous success examples from practice - often even both. Successes can be replicated by anyone who learns or applies the method. In addition, the methods presented are also inexpensive, usually even free of charge.

Some, such as "optimizing habits" or "grounding", can be applied immediately without needing other people or learning any techniques. Other methods require a little more, mostly mental effort and above all discipline.

"Bengston Cycling" or "concerted group intention" are powerful methods that have been proven to "produce" healing effects. However, you must first invest in a learning process for this. But if you consider your health to be the most precious commodity in life, then this investment is more worthwhile than any other.

Does conventional medicine always know the silver bullet?

Speaking of efficiency and reliability, let's say your car is due for a repair. There is a mechanic just around the corner. What makes you wonder is that he himself drives an old clunker that seems to be poorly maintained, smokes black and is eaten away by rust. Will you trust him with your car or would you rather look for another mechanic?

Many people live under the assumption that conventional medicine is the royal road to health. But if that were the case, those who sit at the "source," i.e., the medical profession, would have to be the healthiest people of all. But this is not the case. The fact is that where physicians are involved in studies of public health, they are particularly bad cut off

"According to estimates, 8300 doctors in Germany alone are addicted to alcohol." This sentence is found in an article in the daily newspaper "Die Welt" entitled "The gods in white are sicker than their patients". In addition, it can be read there that almost a quarter of all doctors suffer from depression according to self-disclosure.

Other countries are no better. Across the board, physicians in developed countries have a higher risk of cancer, more burnouts and a higher risk of suicide than the general population. Is there an even clearer indication that it's time for a paradigm shift?

This paradigm shift has long been taking shape. Many people are now aware that they have to take responsibility for their own health, day after day. We can no longer leave the physical-mental balance in the hands of people who are demonstrably overburdened with it.

Let me note at this point that modern medicine is extremely efficient when it comes to treating acute problems, such as broken bones or interventions on the heart or the treatment of epilepsy. We should feel humble gratitude for this, on the one hand for the technical possibilities and on the other hand for the art of the respective specialists.

But when it comes to chronic conditions, things look less promising. New approaches are clearly needed here. And politicians are also opening up to new options with increasing courage: Did you know that conventional doctors in the UK are working with energetic healers? For every 22,000 doctors in private practice, there are 14,000 registered healers. The British government even covers the costs of energetic healing if it is prescribed by a doctor.

The American psychologist Dr. Lawrence LeShan had made a decision in the 1960s. He wanted to prove that unconventional healing was nothing but humbug and a danger to the person being treated. After he had dealt with paranormal phenomena for years and had made numerous experiments himself, his intention turned into the exact opposite. Now he wanted to prove via quantum physical models why unconventional healing definitely works. LeShan is now seen as the pioneer in psychological cancer treatment. This is just one of many more examples of why you should not deny yourself access to unconventional healing.

Back to our journey through time to the Middle Ages: If half the city had already been carried off by the plague and you suddenly received the advice: "Poison all the rats in the entire neighborhood!" Would you follow it, even if the context seems completely absurd at first?
