Q- We are going to be discussing holistic healing on a general basis. Can you tell us how long you have been involved in holistic healing?
A- Since about 1961, I had just finished what they call my right of passage, in my tribe on my 12th birthday that is when I made my declaration to my elders that I would accept the passing of the mantle so to speak of the family Shaman from my Great Uncle Jacob to me.
Q- What does that entail or are you allowed to say?
A- Well I am here to demystify the mystical and they’re a lot of various practices and modalities around the world that have a hallmark of your either coming into womanhood or manhood and that is usually your 12th birthday.
The morning of my birthday my uncle Jake showed up at like 7 in the morning and we started walking and we didn’t stop walking till that night. This is a feat considering I grew up in Pittsburgh and we just started walking and eventually wound up heading over the bridge that connected you to downtown. Then through downtown off over another bridge and up into the mountains which were then populated but it was like the suburbs. We walked through there and back through another set of bridges back into town, crossed town and back into the mountains so to speak in the area in which we were living and then back down to the house where everyone was waiting with birthday cake and all this other stuff.
So it was a combination between Western society and with the regular birthday and doing tribal things. My background is African, Seminole and Cherokee.
Q- What do you actually find the most satisfying in your work or do you want to call it your mischief?
A- Well it is a little bit of both. People ask me what do I do to relax. . .I practice my craft. You are a forever student. If someone says they have learned everything and they are just sitting here waiting to leave then run.
I think what I find most satisfying is how every case can be the same but different. You are pressed the task of ferreting out the cause of whatever the dis-easement is in order to get this person back in balance and then looking at the transformations that take place as they incorporate what you prescribe as lifestyle changes. You get them back on their feet and back to their life.
It would be like two people came to you, either two women or two men, and they both had a headache and it was both on the right side of the head. Through the process of elimination, you help them determine what do they do or what might tick them off or sleep patterns. You may find out that one persons ache is caused from grinding and gnashing their teeth either during the day or at night when they are sleeping. Or another one always sits hunched over and the ache always comes from the cervical or thoracic area of their back. You can’t treat them both the same.
However “Allopathic” or western medicine does. It wasn’t until the mid 80’s that we sanctioned an approved chiropractic. At the same time most Americans don’t know that there was a huge amount of conferences that went on.
They did specific things the beginnings to outlaw all holistic therapies. You name it hypothetic, radiotherapy, aromatherapy, avionics, chiropractic, massage therapy, magnetic therapies, crystal and stone therapies, there was even a therapy developed by Tesla that literally realigned the spine by putting a low voltage of DC currents through the body. They outlawed all this. That was the beginning of what became the AMA.
Q- Why do you think they outlawed the information?
A- They didn’t want the competition. That is the rock bottom of it because there were too many, quote unquote doctors, physicians metaphysicians out there that were healing people and less people were coming to the modern doctors. So we are now starting to turn away from the holistic side of medicine, which is where they grew out of, but you see the drug companies became their push.
The guy that started the Bayer Aspirin Company was one who started this whole thing going downhill because he went to one of the reservations and researched everything that the medicine men and women were doing and one of the main plants that they were working with was the bark of the willow tree.
Willow is natural aspirin. . .unadulterated pure aspirin. However he took these samples back to his lab and gave it to his chemists, told them write this thing down and give me the components so I can sell it because you can’t patent and market an herb. It is already in existence and thus came Bayer aspirin.
Here comes the problem. Every medicine, and I use that term loosely, that is being produced by the drug companies have no buffers or restraints on them. And the reason being, they have broken down all the chemical components of the plants and gotten all of these elixirs and serums. They are recombining them as a chemical and when they do that it doesn’t have any of the buffers built into it to make it safe.
So what comes out of it is, you will get gastric upsets in the colon and the stomach and you will get kidney problems, liver problems, liver failure, adrenal glands going haywire, and destruction of the pancreas because the herbs have a natural buffer in them just because they are a natural element.
Now, when you take that restraint off then the trouble begins. So instead of making the magic bullet that helps someone, you end up having medicines that you have to prescribe another medicine to come up for the shortfalls that this one is causing.
Let’s say it causes seizures and now you have to prescribe a medicine that stops seizures. And this isn’t funny because I know a health care practitioner who is now going through grand mal seizures. She was prescribed for postpartum four antidepressants and three of them the first thing as a contraindication causes tremors or seizures. They opened that door, her brain chemistry has been screwed up and now they can’t close the door. This is going to be a lawsuit the likes of the pharmaceutical companies have never seen when she finally gets to where she can walk, talk and chew bubble gum at the same time.
This is a woman who is the mother of five children and she has seizures. She can’t walk any more and she can’t drive. What is the quality of life for these children who are newborn to four years old?
So when this bombshell hits and considering the Bush administration has just passed to put a cap on the amount of what lawsuits can be on a corporation and he is padding the courts to make sure that it stays that way, but this one is going to be a bombshell. She is a client of mine and I have been working on her the last six months and she has a better quality of life. She is now able to walk, talk and chew gum at the same time.
Q- Let’s go ahead and dig into some of this normal stuff. We are going to discuss some key studies if you don’t mind doing that as we move along.
A- Okay do the readers need to know what my credentials are? Well I am one of these people that because of the new age titles will want to call us Indigos.
Q- Would you define Indigos?
A- Well they are wired a little different than most people. When my elders noticed that there was something a little peculiar about me, they noticed that I was doing something called a laying on of hands and then later with crystals and stones things like this starting at four years old. When they decided after my great- great grandmother kept saying, “When are you going to start teaching this child,” they finally got the cue and started training me.
They found out that was learning beyond what they were teaching me. The were training me one, two, three and I was already past four, five, six, seven and eight. It was a good thing though. Because they were way up there in years and a few of them told me later before their passing that I was reinforcing the teachings because they knew that they were valid because here I was showing them things before they even got a chance to teach me.
In the interim after my 12th birthday, going into college and then the military I had a chance to travel around the world and I was approached by other elders around the planet. This thing where they say spirit recognizes spirit, we knew who we were and that is the thing about Indigos.
It’s like you know what this person is all about. You know by looking at them and I picked up things from them that included things like pressure point therapy and massage techniques, energy techniques like Reiki. I practice Reiki and it’s the one that has all of it’s symbols but it is not the only one. They will tell you in all of the books that you don’t touch the person. Uou have your hands above them and so on and so forth but that is western mentality. The way Reiki first started was hands on. You were working on the person, but because this society is so gosh awful happy about suing people you can’t touch anybody. So that is why they are calling it the ultimate hands off healing. It is a bunch of malarkey.
