There are many variations that have developed over the years and all are using the same paradigm although the approaches and protocols may be different. EFT is one of many and is almost like an umbrella style as most of the interventions have grown out of EFT which grew from Touch for Health and that is based on TCM. So the understanding on some level of Quantum Theory is very old has a long history of success.

Psych K? What does K stand for? I read his book and don't recall anything about Psych K. Is there an updated version? Would I find it in the index? Still can't find your link. But if it's a half hour long, I don't think I will sit through it all. Have you read, or do you intend to read, anything I have suggested? For example, "The China Study" that makes the case against eating animal protein?

"New" isn't always improved and may not even be "new", which I always find amusing. That isn't to say there isn't some place for new things, but to think that new is better is to throw the baby out with the bath in my view.

I don't think anyone has suggested that "new" is better simply because it's new. Man has existed on earth for about 2 million years during which time processed foods were not eaten except for about the last several thousand years. So when I say I believe it's bad to eat processed foods, that's certainly not new. And as far as animal protein goes, most of it is nowhere near the same as what it was tens of thousands of years ago. For the most part it has been made fatty and high in omega 6, not to mention hormones and antibiotics. And that which is supposed to be better, like grass-fed beef, is usually about 10 to 12 dollars a pound. I can put my money to better use by buying fresh fruit and vegetables etc..

As I have said before, just because something can't be scientifically proven, or can't be explained, seen, touched or measured, doesn't mean it can't exist and be very effective. We just haven't got there yet in our discovery process or maybe we haven't re-discovered it yet!

You're absolutely right and very often it's called a placebo. It hasn't been very well explained why placebos often work so well. The problem is they usually don't work long term and they don't work for everyone.

The body's messages bypass the conscious, left-brain logic and convey whole brain, unconscious info, so that is why if something "feels" right, then go with it and trust your own body wisdom. Follow your gut and don't always try to make sense of it. Your mind will always come up with an answer if you ask "why" and it may or may not be on the right path. That is your left-brain, conscious processor working. Accessing the powerful unconscious processor and utilizing that info without having to know all the reasons first is a big step in trusting self.

I once talked to a woman who believed that if she craved something it meant that her body had a need for it. So she said if she craved potato chips, ice cream or other such junk food, she would eat it trusting that her body must need it. However, I believe she was just caving in to her junk food addiction. What if a person craves cigarettes? Does that mean their body needs it for health or does it mean that the person is addicted? What about the alcoholic who craves alcohol? Do you see what I mean?
