Cured her cold in 17 minutes using this method

[Zilla Saurus]

I should add that the precautions I about in variouis posts, above, thkngs to avoid while staring at your hand, are as important to avoid as the staring at your hand is , in order for this , or any immune stimulation technique to work at all., (or in some categories to not be reduced). Note thery are all man made and they all dd not exist when the evolution of this technique occorred thousands and millions of years ago. .

Here is a list of things to avoid while staring at the hand.

It is imperative that you do it far enough away from all manmade radiation, (note that we didnt evollve near such radiation) , like within ten or fifteen feet of a computer or monitor.,flat screened or large screened tvs,, regular tv's if super close, , cordless or cell phone even carrying them in your pocket when not turned on due to the battery, radio, some modern cars which are now full of computer chips, and car radios etc, the street power line shouldnt be within ten or ffifteen yards of you. No giant transmission towers should be in your vicinity.This manmade radiation, if we are too close to the source makes the immune systom not able to be stiumulated.

. Take your watch and rings off. too. I can explain how that reduces the effectiveness to be wearing either. Nothing should be in your ear like a hearing aid and smoking is another big category you must avoid as it too reduces the effect greatly.

Immunosuppressive drugs too will reduce the effect , like the synthetic opiate pain killers, sleeping pills like ambien, antianxiety meds like valium, poppy seeds since they contain traces of opium, marijuana , alchohol, nicotene, muscle relaxants, cough meds, menthol

Before people start avoiding poppy seed bagels - the amounts of opiate derivatives in poppy seeds are negligible.........unless you want to eat a 1kg bag of them on their own!

I used to eat them by the spoonful as a child - big dessert spoonfuls too!

Although this idea sounds totally barmy to me, I've returned from a weekend away with a terrible cold, cough, sore throat, temperature etc. (which I believe is mainly caused by stress, as I've said before, & a need to withdraw quietly from the rush & people's expectations - germs are always with us, after all.)
So I'm trying to stare at my hand for minutes at a time...

Firstly, I'm aware of how little I knew the back of my own hand!
Secondly, I'm scared of how old it's looking!
Thirdly, I realise how out-of-focus my eyes go close-up,
Finally, I do think my cold symptoms are subsiding a little, & my head feels less explody ... will report further anon ... watch this space!

Jabba, the first time I heard this warning it was from Dean Adell , brilliant radio Doctor here in US. Si ate a few , like on a bagel, when I had a vurus and it was like throwing gasoline on a fire for 11 hours, but I should add I have horrible immunity in my throat to start with so it doesnt take much to take me down farther.

Starshower, thanks for tryinig. IF its blurry, put the hand farther away from you. And dont put your hand high , keep it nearer to the waist high, as when the hand is held up like the fetus does, it stimulates your immune system too but more weakly,and eill subtract a little form the stronger staring thing, and try hard not to doze of go to sleep while you are doing this as the precautions say. . Also dont roam your stare around your hand, just pick one spot, doesnt matter how tiny, and leave it there as much as possible. Also can you check the things to avoid post I made on this page and tell me if you are following them all or which ones you arent following? Keep us posted.

PS try to use natural sunlight through a window when you stare if you have that nasty modern lighting rather than the natural light from the old fashioned incandessent bulb

Thanks,

Steve

Looks very reasonable, as this seems the same as working on an acupuncture point or zone, better than acupuncture needle as it's 100% compatible energy flow from one's eyes.

If anyone tries this under the stated precautions, can you please tell me if it fails so Ill know that this is not a universal response as I thought?

Thanks,

STeve

What??? Just sit and stare at the skin on the back of your hand?

If getting rid of a cold was that easy there would be no germs around at all

I will try it later, but forgive me for being so cynical!!!

Dear Steve

I agree with you That if something is to simple nobody wants to believe it. It is worthwhile giving it a go, after all it is free and without complications. It is the first time I heard about this staring and I am going to try it.

Have a good day

I've told everyone I've met recently with a cold about this. Nobody has tried it - they all look at me as if I'm slightly strange. My brother (a bit of a comedian) said that after a few minutes his cold was still there, but his hand had disappeared... Anyway, I'll be trying it when I get a cold!

Its probably a psychological effect

Worth trying tho!

Hi Steve and all,

What a fascinating string!

It's fascinating that you may be able to employ such a simple technique as a therapy for colds and various infections. Much of healing may be placebo effect but what is really going on in the placebo effect? Is it just another name for healing?

One part of the placebo effect is a pavlovian type response to a stimulus. Once a pattern of physiological response to a stimulus has been established the subject can repeat the effect and possibly enhance it. For the treatment to work effectively there has to be some belief in the treatment (unless a strong physiological reaction is know, as is the case with allopathic pain killers for example). (Yet once a patient has come to use a pain killer placebo trials show remarkable effects of placebos as pain relief.) In fact, the more sophisticated the design of clinical trials to control placebo, which may even include dummy drugs that give side effects for example, the less difference is seen between placebo and drug being tested. (Just think, it could be the side effects that make us think we're being treated that actually do us good!)

So you have a theory to support you therapy (enhancing belief) and have developed a reinforced experience (pavlovian response) that confirms your belief and so you have an effective therapy.

There is another part to this though. What you describe as your therapy sounds very much like meditation in which you use an object upon which to rest your attention. Immune response and increased healing rates have been observed in meditators as have changes to the structure of the brain (thickening of the cerebral cortex, which has a variety of benefits).

Significantly, in some meditation techniques you bring your attention to various parts of the body, which increased awareness of the body. What you describe as benefits in terms of pain management are also well established in mindfulness meditation.

I think there are the following elements may be at work:
Theory which enhances belief in the efficacy of the treatment.A pavlovian association of benefit with the treatment.Producing a calm state of mind by holding the attentions on an object as in meditation (reducing immunosuppression caused by stress).Using a part of the body as the object of concentration may have a specific benefit.
I think theses elements may well be common to all therapies but your therapy may have only a limited effect on people because they don't take it seriously enough to practice it. This isn't just true of your therapy, it's also true of meditation. For any therapy to work, we have to have some faith in it, at least enough faith for us to engage in it. The other thing that your therapy lacks (and meditation can also lack), is a factor that people generally like; a practitioner to do it for them!

Hi, I find this therapy very interesting, however I would be more convinced if more people tried it. Perhaps members of healthypages could try it and report back to us.

Hi Steve,i have just read your thread and wondered if it may help my friend who has LUPUS or will her medication block it.

 

[NeoftNecobmEt]

Hi Steve,

A way to turn on our immune systems?
Which anyone can do?

Something as important as the effect you claim should be tested, and not just on an internet forum either.
It would be easy to do, you would still take most of the credit, and the results would be published.

I notice that Myarka made this point a few posts/months ago, advising you how to go about it.
I notice you were pretty dismissive at the time.

Are you building up to a book-launch by any chance?

Until your results are published (and with my scientist-hat firmly on my head) I say - warning - Snake-oil!
