Traumatic Brain Injury and PTSD

December 23, 2010 By Roland Phillips (D.C.)

Many individuals returning home from military service have symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury.  According to a recent Newsweek article, 20% of our troops are vulnerable.  With 2.1 million service persons in Iraq & Afghanistan, the implication is 400,000 potential cases  of PTSD/TBS exist each year.

What is puzzling to researchers is that PTSD/TBI, though different in nature of cause (PTSD=emotional/mental, TBI= traumatic, i.e. concussion), have similar symptoms: headaches, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, digestive disorders, dizziness, vision/memory disturbances…  Repeated concussions can result in Dementia, Parkinson’s Disease, symptoms similar to ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), suicidal depression and seizures.

We as B.E.S.T. Practitioners understand fully what is going on.  Our brains respond the same to physical threats as emotional or emotional threats; they get locked in to fight/flight sympathetic excess.  This physiology is only appropriate when a physical threat is present.

We do know from the work of B.F. Skinner, Hans Selye, Karol Truman, Bruce Lipton, Candace Pert, David Hawkins and M.T. Morter that the body is held subject to what is held in the mind, consciously and subconsciously.  I would add that the mind is held subject to what is held onto in the spirit or electrical field.

When our brains are stuck in defense, normal healing and recovery does not function optimally, making symptoms and awareness’ necessary.  In B.E.S.T. (Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique) we acknowledge your condition, yet treat the person with the condition.

B.E.S.T. makes dis-ease (lack of ease) unnecessary by removing higher brain interference and updating the sensory motor reflex.

Who do you know who has never gotten over an emotional, mental, financial, relational, physical trauma?

Gift them with a referral to a B.E.S.T. Practitioner (can be located at morter.com), to increase their vitality, health and happiness!

In Health & Service,
