I am emailing to THANK YOU Maureane and Dr. McClure for teaching me to use MFT (a.k.a., “tapping”) as part of a daily meditation practice. The results have been nothing short of amazing. Every condition that I have meditated on using this technique, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, has either improved or been resolved (the condition usually improving at first and then quickly or eventually becoming resolved). Know also that I believe that the amazing success I have had is due in part to a) the incorporation of reading spiritual literature prior to meditation (in my case, usually Emmet Fox) and b) a growing effort to improve my mental perception of any subject/condition/person.
It seems to be a very powerful method of improving any problematic condition…and I am somewhat amazed that it is not more commonly practiced.
To help explain the success I have experienced from almost daily practice in the last 12 months (following a VERY low point in my life), here is a list of some of the conditions that have I have specifically meditated on and that either have been resolved or are improving (and, by the way, I’ve found that MFT does not always change the situation itself but provides someone that can).
Conditions improved or resolved using MFT…
Physical:
-Unresolved back pain disappeared
-Unresolved pain in foot (possible neuroma) disappeared
-Eyesight improved
-Several weeks of chest discomfort and coughing disappeared
Emotional/Spiritual/Social:
-Anxiety is lower overall and lowers immediately upon start of practice and continues for most of the day
-Faith is being restored (at a VERY low point last year)
-Sense of well-being is improving
-More enthusiastic about daily living, “keeping house” (and yard), daily meditation, and all chores
- Relationship with husband has improved or resolved on whatever issue was troublesome (and – in defense of his honor – there are only a few)
Business
- Client queue is increasing and usually full
- Clients returned to paying on time
- Better able to get my work done
- More enthusiastic about work
- Company prosperity is growing
And now for the really-hard-to-believe…Pets (two 18 year-old cat siblings):
-Male cat’s colon resumes working nearly every time I use MFT (cat has a severe neurological problem that affects walking and occasionally interferes with colon working; condition is significant to require at-home or under-anesthesia enemas)
-Male cat’s teeth healed within 2 months of applying MFT (veterinary determined that two teeth must be removed; upon a return visit it was determined that they had improved so much that removal was not required)
-Female cat’s demeanor has improved (especially in the early morning) – She may be becoming hard of hearing and has become impossibly loud when she wants attention. Posted By: L.R.
"If you are willing to step out in faith and try something radical, this HCG Weight Loss program will change your life. It changed mine! I lost a total of 61.5lbs over 2 program sessions, including an 8 week transition. I went from a size 14 to a size 4 in 5 months and my waist went from 40” to 27’’. I was most astonished by where I lost the weight. I literally watched my stomach, hips and thighs shrink. I currently have the flattest stomach I have ever had, even though I have been at this weight in the past.
This program changed the way I think about eating and helped me to overcome my addiction to carbohydrates. What is equally amazing is how great I felt from eating an organic and non-processed food diet. This also resulted in my entire family eating healthier!! Furthermore, my allergy symptoms cleared up, and the headaches that I had previously experienced on a monthly basis were gone. I experienced a high level of energy and focus throughout the program and the sheer joy from the weight loss is indescribable! Sometimes I do not even recognize myself in the mirror.
The transition program is critical to long term success on this program. My biggest fear was that I would gain the weight back shortly after the weight loss phase ended. This fear was dissolved when I lost a total of 9 lbs during the 8 week transition period. The transition program is very well laid out and guided and is easy to follow. The consultants were there every step of the way to answer all my questions and give me daily tips and encouragement. Don’t wait, start today. It will be the greatest gift you can give to yourself!"

"I am more positive about my overall health and reaching my wellness goals. Dr. Solomon is an inspired practitioner. I am grateful for insights I received today and the solutions offered." Posted By: B.P.
"I was so WOWed by all of you...first by being so warmly greeted by Ali, then by the intro session with Michael, and then by the absolutely fascinating session with Dr. Rind (what a gift, genius and gem; so lucky are we that he's on this planet!) that I failed to remember how to apply the product.(Many thanks, indeed, for responding so promptly to my follow-up call for instructions.)
I felt so comfortable with Dr. Rind. Amazing how during that first meeting he was able to grasp my whole life's health narrative, after which he knew right where to begin and exactly what I needed to get back on the path to total wellness. While walking through my narrative, Dr. Rind happened to note that my youngest son and my granddaughter have Tourettes Syndrome. To my surprise, he said that he'd like to meet my son and, without hesitation, he offered a referral who might be of help to both of them. This was most unexpected! And the icing on the cake came near the end of our session when I just happened to mention that I was having pain from an old injury. Dr. Rind said he could take care of that,with prolotherapy! Oh my, here I just assumed that I'd have to live with this irritation for life. (I cannot wait to come back next week for the procedure!)
So, thank you, Ali. Thank you, Michael. And thank you, Dr. Rind! It was a pleasure to meet each of you and I really do look forward to seeing you again!"

"Hi Scott, I'm providing you a follow-up on the results of the first Erchonia Laser treatment. Well I am happy to say it’s working – more than just working, the results are absolutely remarkable!
At first I thought it wasn’t going to help at all. I started to feel really lousy after leaving your office. When I got home around 7:30PM, I immediately went to bed (which is highly usual for me). I slept miserably – I felt feverish all night, the cup of my left heel was hot (where I have the scar from the tendon surgery) and I was experiencing sharp and dull pains on the right side of my body from mid-calf to shoulder. It was so uncomfortable I got up out of bed @ about 1:00AM and did not return to bed until around 3:30AM. I thought it must be the laser treatment and questioned what I had done to myself.
When I awoke on Friday morning at 5:45AM - my usual time to get ready for work; something felt really different in my knees. The pain in my left knee was barely noticeable except for around the edges of the areas I had been complaining about; and in my right knee the pinching sensation from the torn meniscus was gone.
That day I was able to walk up and down stairs with very little pain. Rising from a sitting position was also less difficult.
Since Friday, my condition has only gotten better. I can walk up and down stairs without caution and any really bothersome pain. And rising from a sitting position is also much better. I don’t how long the treatment(s) are supposed to last, but I am really interested in developing a long-term treatment plan that will encompass traditional medicine, laser, prolotheraphy and possibly PRP."

"It was a pleasure meeting you, Dr. Weiner, and experiencing the 'gentle-dental' care given by you and your great staff. In you I saw an experienced and accomplished professional, yet you seem to have an enlightened, youthful and optimistic spirit. I actually enjoyed my dental visit." Posted By: J. R.
"I am very much indebted to you, Dr.Rind and team,for your kindness, time, and expertise that has clarified key pieces of puzzle and improved major areas of health- hearing, sleep and breast health. But the best part has been to meet a doctor and team who embody the spirit of the healing professions. It is kind of like if one has known many painters, and one day meets a Master, one would feel, 'Ah, so that is a Painter!'That's how it's been meeting Dr. Rind and all of you." Posted By: A.F.
"There was a family emergency and they fit me into the schedule that day. Dr. Beals took more time with me than I have ever experienced. Very thorough- thank you!" Posted By: E.P.
"After years of deteriorating health, misdiagnosis and failed treatments, I sought out NIHA for help. I immediately knew they were experts at the forefront of mercury related health issues and a breath of fresh air from my previous experiences in healthcare. I decided to go through with their recommended removal of 20+ amalgam surfaces and the extraction of 1 root canalled tooth. After only 2 weeks I have already experienced the most dramatic abatement of symptoms in years; my sinuses have cleared allowing me to sleep at night; my face and shoulder pain has been cut in half.; and my chronic fatigue has begun to subside. For the first time in years I am optimistic about my future health prospects." Posted By: A.T.
"Reducing my allergy sensitivities by the rotation diet has also enabled my body to lose 20 pounds since Dec. I am so happy. Thank you Dr. Solomon." Posted By: S.L.
"Not only did I lose weight, but healed numerous health issues...
Through her incredible guidance, Eve has opened my eyes to a whole new world in which we can actually control our overall physical and mental health through proper nutrition. I first signed up to take their course to lose weight, however they quickly taught me that with proper nutrition, not only can I lose those extra pounds, but also alter my eating habits to heal numerous health issues. I feel so empowered as am now personally in control of my health. They are remarkable and inspiring educators and I truly feel that her class has changed my life for the better." Posted By: M. B.
"I can honestly say that in the short three months of working with Eve Colantoni, she has completely changed my life. I have progressed more working with Eve than I have in the ten plus years of working with doctors. She has taught me how to heal my body from years of medication, stress, and illness. I have lost 27 pounds, have the energy to exercise, and can think more clearly. Recently, for the first time I was actually able to relax while vacationing instead of focusing on food allergies and fatigue. Eve has given me a box of tools that allow me to LIVE life, not just endure life. I would recommend Eve to anyone who wants to feel better and wants to learn how to have the energy to enjoy life!" Posted By: T. M.
"The weight is simply falling off...Meeting with Eve has literally changed my life. I have been battling thyroid and other autoimmune problems for over 20 years. I was constantly fatigued; 25 pounds overweight and had horrible PMS symptoms. As someone who never cooked, I was spending a lot of money eating out or throwing frozen dinners in the microwave and ruining my health in the process. I was miserable and desperate for help. However, I have to confess that as a lifelong chocoholic, when Eve told me that I would no longer crave chocolate and sweets on this program, I had my doubts. Fast forward 6 weeks and I am a changed woman. I have discovered a whole new world of foods and actually enjoy cooking! I am no longer yo-yoing from having “good” eating days to “bad” eating days; most days I cannot finish the amount of food I had planned to eat. The strange thing is that after years of going on diets, feeling deprived, and then falling off the wagon, this new way of life has been so easy to implement and maintain. And, yes, the cravings for chocolate and sweets have gone completely. Not only do I feel better but I am also fitting into clothes I have not been able to wear in 8 years. The weight is falling off and yet I am honestly eating more food than I have ever done in the past. My PMS symptoms have all but disappeared. You just have to trust the process – it works!"

"Down 16 pounds and LOVING IT! Hadn’t I just heard it all? And didn’t every other diet plan and program require all day and night vigilance? Was I going to carry around special food while traveling and in meetings and business lunches and dinners? Was there any sane way for someone like me to be healthy and lose weight, too? Then came Eve with an easy suggestion to try in the beginning of my day. One change – 16 pounds! And the real miracle is that I really LIKE what I am doing – taste/variety/convenience. I am now incorporating other things that fit into my lifestyle. This is a great course!" Posted By: P. B.

"Dear Dr. Rind, I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to you for the skill and compassion you have shown me. Over the past two years, after visiting many neurologists, specialists, e.g. therapist, nurses, the prognosis for my improvement was grim.
After finding out about your therapy through a stroke support unit at Phelps Memorial Hospital, I suddenly found hope, something that up to this point had been missing in my recovery. As a result of your infusion therapy Relox, I am now able to carry on conversations with better clarity, use my limbs with more control, process information clearly and stay more in the present moment instead of drifting into a endless hell of confusion.
On both a professional and personal level, I really appreciate what a uniquely dedicated, competent, professional you are in the service you provide. My wife and I agree that you have changed our lives for the better and that your therapy is a miracle.
Sincerely,
Dr. M.G. , Somers, NY Posted By: Dr. M. G.

"I am a professional kickboxer and life long martial artist. I was North American Kick Boxing Champion 1997-1999.1 have been a martial artist most of my life, teaching and practicing.
In the spring of 2000 during training I injured both my knees. I could not teach, train or compete. I was in a tremendous amount of pain. l thought there was no way I would ever participate in my sport again. Because of the pain in my knees I had difficulty teaching my students.
During class one day, one of my students noticed that I was in a lot of pain. He told me his father was a doctor and could help me. That is when I called Dr. Bruce Rind. At this point I had been offered the opportunity to fight the World Champion Kickboxer. I really didn't think there was any possibility of doing it because of the pain in my knees. I came to see Dr. Rind. He treated me with Prolotherapy; nutritional supplements and Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy. I was willing to do whatever it took to get my knees back. Over the next two months, my knees healed! I took supplements Dr. Rind prescribed and had Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy.
I first saw Dr. Rind in May 2000. I began training for the world championship fight in early June. By early July, 1 was able to participate in a full training schedule. I fought July 21, 2000 against the World Champion Kickboxer. I was able to not only compete, but WIN the title! Without Dr. Rind's treatment this would not have been possible. I am grateful that I found Dr. Rind. Without him, I would not only still be in pain, but not able to participate in the sports I love. Thank you, Dr. Rind!" Posted By: M. S.

"I wanted to play hard, but it hurt just to walk! Getting out of bed was excruciating. My aspirations to be a professional soccer player were sidelined by the crippling effect of a "locked" right knee. Patellar tracking syndrome, tendonitis and a slight tear of the meniscus had all come to mind in my own self-diagnosis. In my 20 years of playing sports, I had never been forced from the field. Enter Dr. Rind and prolotherapy! Dr. Rind's non-invasive treatment was particularly attractive to me. After lengthy and complete interviewing, Dr. Rind injected my right knee and ankle with about 20 "shots" and before I left that initial visit my knee "unlocked." That freedom of pain was foreign after the months of pain I had endured. Three days later I was sprinting. Three and a half weeks later I had signed my first pro contract." Posted By: C. P.

"Seven years ago I injured my ankle. The pain and swelling were constant. I could barely walk. My orthopedist recommended fusing the bones, which he said would cause me to lose all ankle/foot motion. There was no guarantee the pain or swelling would go away. I decided to find an alternative to that approach. Dr. Rind treated my ankle with prolotherapy. After five treatments, all the pain and swelling were gone. Since then, I hike several miles daily on my farm. The pain has not returned."

"Ten years ago when I was thirty years old, I had a stroke. It was caused by a brain aneurysm which required surgery because of the excessive bleeding. I needed extensive therapy in order to regain my speech, motor skills and thought processes. Though I made progress during the following ten years, I still had chronic problems and found myself regressing. I was plagued with chronic fatigue, constant pain in my muscles, and numbness on my right side, especially in my extremities (fingers and toes). I suffered from clouded thinking and slurred speech. Though I was always hopeful, the situation was looking grim. God answered my prayers when I was referred to Dr. Rind. He believed he could get rid of some numbness on my right side that day. He was right! Other doctors told me that it would be impossible. He gave me a treatment called "Relox." It contains vitamins and minerals with no drugs. To my excitement, within minutes I was able to feel my fingertips on my right side.The first time in ten years! As the minutes rushed by I discovered the lost feeling of my toes. You never know how important these things are until you no longer have them. Words can't express how excited I am about regaining my long lost sensations. I was equally astonished that I had walked into the office with every muscle in my body hurting as usual, but the pain has vanished after my I.V. treatment. My speech and thought processes have improved also. I am now feeling like a new person. I waited and prayed for years for the rest of my healing to be manifested and I rejoice in God that it has been realized." Posted By: J. M.

"My husband lost 40 pounds! Last March, I attended the free nutrition demonstration that Eve Colantoni presented. I had to try the nutrition program. I had been looking for a venue that would address being healthier in a natural way. I even convinced my husband to attend too! We learned so much through the class. The information was practical and direct. We even developed tremendous camaraderie in the class with the other participants since we were all looking to take out health to the next level. We even signed up for the second class to continue the experience. My husband lost 40 pounds during the program following the advice. We both feel younger and look better. I have even shared some of the information with friends. They even drink green smoothies for breakfast now!! I highly recommend this class for anyone wanting to take control of their health and maybe turn back the hands on the clock a bit…or at least slow them down!" Posted By: D.J.

"Chronic illnesses can often have a psychological and energetic component that is not merely biological. Maureane O'Shaugnessy has an invaluable gift for treating the whole person and seeing the bigger picture surrounding an illness. I have made remarkable gains in my personal life as well as my medical situation. She is patient-focused and able to listen like few medical professionals I've encountered. I highly recommend that every client of NIHA try at least a few sessions with Maureane. You will be pleasantly amazed. And it would not surprise me if you saw almost immediate results." Posted By: P.W.
"Before my treatment with Dr. McClure I lived in almost constant pain...It's been about 3 months since we moved from DC to our new home in New Jersey and I had considerable improvement in my physical and mental condition. Even though some of my problems still persist (especially low energy and poor bowel function), I haven't had a single severe headache attack during these 3 months. It's a true miracle! Before my treatment with Dr. McClure I lived in almost constant pain. Now I continue my at-home detox treatment and hope to get even better.
I thank God for His blessings, for Doctor McClure, for NIHA and for all wonderful people I met there. Your grateful patient." Posted By: I. K.
