Because of the amazing demand for our "wholistic"
consulting and revolutionary products,
we have to limit every inquiry (e-mail and telephone) to 15
minutes in order to help all those in need. After the first 15
minutes we charge our normal
consulting fee. Please

clicking on the buttons in the left-hand menu of every product
page. Thank you in
advance.
New Video
A new video is now posted on select pages of our website. Russell
explains how one flushes 75-80% of supplement benefits down the toilet (or your
pet poops them out). We will publish more as Russell introduces his new paradigm in
"wholistic" health — Freedom From Illness.
Do
you wish to learn more about what is truly holistic?
Do you want to know why we spell holistic
with a "w"?
Do you want to know why we say 90-95% of
everything advertised as holistic is NOT?
Do you want to know why some so-called
"holistic" supplements do not work?
To find the answer to all these questions, go
to Russell's new personal blog "Wholistic
Answers" at
www.RussellLouie.com. Russell is blogging about the wholistic
lessons he learns in our wholistic practice, new scientific research
supporting holistic modalities and critical holistic news everyone needs to
know about (such as
Genetically Modified Organism food being served in fast-food restaurants
today).
We are all familiar with the Western
medical usage of the “placebo effect” as a derogatory term in
establishing
the “gold” standard of scientific proof. When a company wants to
determine the efficacy of a new drug, they will test their product
against a placebo (inert substance that does absolutely nothing in the
body). In a double-blind placebo study, neither the patient nor the
clinician knows who is getting the test drug or placebo. If the study
shows 50% of patients receiving the drug improved and 35% receiving the
placebo also had improved symptoms, the drug is judged not to be
worthwhile since it
only improved conditions by 15% over a placebo. However, if the study
shows 80% of patients receiving the drug improved and only 10% receiving
the placebo had improved symptoms, then the drug study is judged to be a
success and taken to market. I feel our current healthcare model is
missing the important positive factor when considering the placebo
effect. I would like to share my “wholistic” perspective based on my 60
years of wholistic living on the value of the placebo effect.
In the game of tennis there are three main strokes: the overhand serve,
forehand and backhand. One can be a good tennis player if one has a
great serve and forehand but one cannot be a consistent winner
and
champion without a good backhand. Western medicine has established a
great serve (diagnostic abilities) and commanding forehand (treatment to
get rid of the symptoms) but lacks a backhand (establishing permanent
balance and wellness in the body) in my humble “wholistic” opinion.
Western medicine totally negates any usefulness of the placebo effect and the influence of
the mind (thoughts) on our health. Taking the above example, if 35% of
our clients could alleviate their symptoms for minimal costs (placebo)
with absolutely no side effects would not they be happy? What if a
simple refinement of this placebo could increase that percentage to 65%
improvement, would that be worth investigating?
I have personally alleviated symptoms, lessened my dependence on
supplements and improved my health using mind techniques from the
following: The Sedona Method®,
The Holosync Solution® program and
Zero
Limits by Joe Vitale (based on ancient Hawaiian technique of ho’oponopono). I feel the placebo effect and our mind have great promise
to improve our healthcare, by giving us a strong backhand to complement
the commanding serve and forehand strokes from Western medicine, to make
us all champions of wellness.
One way we have found to test any placebo effect is to give our new product to our
pets. Before we offer any new product to our clients we always test it
on ourselves first. After confirming it works on us and also confirming
that it is safe for pets, we give it to our pets (one dog and three cats)
next. Pets do not have
all that mental baggage (past experiences) or play mind or emotional games
(patterns) with their body. When I was first introduced to our BioSuperfood product
I literally walked away from the vendor’s table without buying it
(click photo on left to watch video) because I was skeptical of
their
claims: “last holistic product one will ever
need,” “the one product to replace all supplements” and “the one product
to cure all ills.” Fortunately, Margaret went over and was sufficiently
impressed to buy BioSuperfood. In 2002, we had a 17 year old cat that
was dying of kidney disease (CRF-Chronic Renal Failure).
After the first week of giving Tabby BioSuperfood she was more
affectionate, had more energy, asked to go outside more and I saw her
jump up on the picnic table and walk along the railing outside. Tabby
had stopped jumping up on furniture several years before because of arthritis and her lack of flexibility.
With this total
transformation in our cat dying of kidney disease, I decided I had
better look at the
manufacturer’s research and claims regarding bio-algae concentrates more
seriously. Tabby was definitely not influenced by the advertising: "20+
years of cancer in animals research," "bio-algae concentrates used on
over 20 different animal species" or "this will balance ALL your glands
and organs." There was no placebo effect as she just felt good from all
the super
nutrition (5,000 individual nutrients in one capsule).
I think it is time to investigate the influence of the mind on improving
our well being and not demonize
it by attributing any improvement to
just the placebo effect. We can choose to let fear and paranoia give us
symptoms or use the same power of the mind to produce wellness. It is
our choice. I have seen people's symptoms dramatically improve the day
they get test results or a current diagnosis from their doctor. The immediate lesson I am learning is the opposite of the
placebo effect. That is to not let external mental factors determine how
I feel. I am erasing the influence of such thoughts as:
Do not get wet or you will get sick
Better bundle up or you will catch
cold
Flu season is here, go get your annual
flu shot
The "bug" is going around, be careful
not to catch it
You need this __________ in order to
get well from
Are you still letting someone else’s
thoughts (should's) determine your health? Do not rely on just a pill to get rid of
symptoms. The placebo effect does not negate the power of the mind over
our bodies but proves it. Take back control over your well being and
investigate how your thoughts can control your health.
