Chapter 8: Allergies and sensitivities

Beginnings

There were times when I wondered whether I was really feeling a distortion in the flow of life force because the movement was so subtle. But as time goes by, while I might still question myself over any number of things, those times have become much less frequent. Bringing something new into the world, like the Boulderstone Technique, has forced me to continually look at what I am doing, since there are very few people I can bounce ideas off. I still find it amazing that the people I have taught, and myself, appear to be the only ones using this technique to detect a person’s sensitivity to substances and to address those sensitivities. I think other people in the past probably did work in a similar way, with the life force, and this explains some behaviours that Western medicine now scorns. Saying grace before a meal might be one such ritual, or saying ‘bless you’ after sneezing. They are both examples of having some understanding of the life force. 

​

I come from a mathematical and logical background and I continually question what I am doing. The very last thing I want to do is hurt someone by misinterpreting what I feel.

​

Nowadays, I realise that time has been a great teacher for me. I don’t question myself nearly so much because feedback has been incredibly positive and people have reported that they have been helped. Human beings are sensitive and, if they can get their egos out of the way, they can feel the smallest of feelings in another person. Some people, especially mothers, can even feel things at a distance, in their children. They know what is happening, but science doesn’t back them up.

​

As I said, human beings are very sensitive and if you connect with them you can feel some of the things they feel. If you place some nuts on a person who is allergic to nuts their body goes tense and the person connected can feel that tension.

Early on I found it doesn’t matter whether the substance was open or contained within a glass bottle with a screwed on lid. I don’t want to talk about the limits of the sensitivity just yet because it is hard enough for me to believe. But that is how we discover if a person has a sensitivity to a food or other substance. We invite them to lie on a massage couch, place one hand under their head, and sequentially place small bottles of food and other substances on them and feel for a tension. With training you can detect the sensitivity in a person. Getting your ego out of the way is essential and is the main challenge.

​

All of this has little scientific underpinnings, as far as I know, except for one thing: if the person tested stops ingesting the substances we find them sensitive to, they get better.

​

Many people are sensitive to cow’s milk protein from birth. When the dairy is stopped they start to thrive and all their symptoms go away. When they start the dairy again, on the advice of doctors or because they want to believe they have grown out of it, either the old symptoms come back and/or new ones start up. For example, parents will say their child has ‘grown out of’ eczema but now they have asthma, or tummy aches and loose bowels, or catarrh. When we advise stopping the dairy again, the symptoms disappear again. We have seen this over and over again, from babies to children to adults. 

​

The same tension can be felt in people who are sensitive to wheat, pollen, nuts, dust, egg and a whole host of other substances. I am not sure whether the feeling we feel could be picked up by a machine, but I suspect not. After all, what we feel is a distortion in the flow of life force.

​

These tensions tell us what substances a person has difficulties with but they often point us to how they became a problem in the first place and also what has to be done to clear the problem. Food issues are certainly increasing and we think we know a reason why.

​

How sensitivities may be created

Our working hypothesis goes like this. If you eat a substance after an event that caused you to be upset, your body makes a connection between the substance and the upset. I know the body is capable of doing this - I still smell vomit any time I drink cider, from over-indulging when too young to handle alcohol. If the upset isn't sorted out, whenever you eat that substance your mind brings up that connection and causes you to be tense and have digestive or other problems. Other people can notice this problem after food poisoning. Sometimes it is very difficult to eat the food that once caused food poisoning.

​

This body memory of remembering past ‘mistakes’ with food can be useful to remind you those particular mushrooms should be avoided or shellfish should be eaten fresh. And so you can learn which food is good for you and which isn’t. Nowadays, we eat quite mindlessly, even while watching television, for example. And because we eat so mindlessly, how does our mind know that the harrowing scene on television isn’t a real-life experience? Television has been known to raise our heart rate, blood pressure, anxiety levels, and a whole host of other physiological responses. I don’t think watching television while eating has alone caused the massive increase in food sensitivities but it hasn’t helped.

​

In the past, people used to bless their food. That ritual lost its energetic power when it became a series of words, parroted until virtually meaningless. The idea that you can look at your food and bring your thoughts and feelings to a still point might be the original reason for the blessing. If it was, I could see how it would be useful. And, of course, being truly grateful for something is the magical formula for allowing it to continue.

​

What we do when presented with a sensitivity

As I have said before, when a patient presents with an emotional problem or trauma we use a trauma-ticket. This is a piece of paper that in some way represents the patient’s problem and we use that to stimulate a response in order to undo the problem, as explained in Chapter 7: Processing an event or trauma.

​

When a patient comes to me with a substance sensitivity, I use the substance as the trauma ticket. The problem substance is placed on the person and, before it stays there for too long and causes overwhelm, I take it off again. I keep hold of the generated tension and take it to a still point. The patient’s body would naturally clear the tension except the ego/I-force gets in the way and resists the process. All I do is maintain my still point, keep the patient on track, and let nature take its course.

​

The substance is usually contained in a small glass bottle but the body is sensitive enough to create a reaction I can feel and work with. I repeat the process until the substance no longer causes a reaction. With most food sensitivities this means the person can now eat the food freely with no more physical reactions. Extra caution is taken with life-threatening allergies such as nuts - see below. 

​

As you can see, the method of removing a sensitivity to a physical substance is virtually the same as removing an emotional or mental one. We use a representation of the problem to stimulate a controllable I-force reaction in the person, undo that small reaction and repeat until the whole problem is resolved. We use this method to clear sensitivities to dust, animal dander, feathers, pollens, moulds and fungal spores as well as foods. 

 

Ingesting inappropriate substances

Ingesting inappropriate substances is probably the single worst thing people do for their health, especially since most people have lost the ability to determine what is good for them and what isn't. In the past, people used to bless their food. Blessing the food also gives you a bit more time for your mind to consider what you are eating. Using your life force to determine which foods create a dance and which a still point would quickly determine which foods are good for you and which aren’t. The blanket ‘broccoli is good for you’, or whatever the fashionable vegetable is, is not true for everyone. Children are often considered fussy eaters but they are probably more in tune with their needs than adults. The exception to this tends to be sugar and fast food where the ego will tell you it is good for you when it might not be.

​

It is possible to use the life force to help with the task of knowing what you need and what you should avoid. Without the life force you have to go on the word of other people who are working from their own theory rather than feeling what is going on. The point is that, at any given time, every single person has different requirements and while most poisonous mushrooms, for example, will remain poisonous for everyone, some people may need something that others would find detrimental. Being able to feel the life force, and what disturbs it, is the solution to this problem.

 

Can you stop people being allergic to nuts?

Being allergic to anything can clearly be dangerous. Many people have died from having an allergic reaction. This shows how much power the life force and I-force.hold. What is the solution? 

​

One way of solving allergy problems is to simulate the problem in a small way and teach the patient’s body how to deal with that. Western medicine tries to do this with desensitisation therapy. Without the life force, though, the mechanism behind the body’s reaction won’t be understood and it will be a hit and miss affair, if not actually dangerous.

​

All allergic reactions are the life force/I-force playing out their battle and we have a certain amount of control over these forces but not an unlimited amount. What we can do is expose the patient to an amount of the allergen that we can comfortably deal with and show the patient’s life force and I-force how to deal with that amount. Each time we make sure the patient can deal with that amount of exposure before we move on to a greater exposure. Initially, we keep the substance in a stoppered glass bottle and put it on their clothed stomach. There is a felt reaction and when that is completely resolved, and this can take a few sessions, no further reaction can be felt. At this point, with most food sensitivities, the person can now eat that food with no more problems. With severe nut allergies (where someone carries an epipen) we may continue the treatment more cautiously. We might take the nut out of the bottle but still keep it on the clothed stomach. We keep the clearing of the problem going by moving from the clothed stomached to the unclothed hand then, arm, upper arm, cheek, chin and eventually lips. Each time we feel the effects of the nuts, or other substance, and each time teach the person how to deal with the reaction.

​

Eventually, we get to the lips and tongue, this can take a few sessions but is always checked on the next appointment before advancing the substance closer to the mouth. The patient by this time has understood what we are doing and invariably wants to get on with procedure as fast as possible. Our job is to make sure every stage is sorted out and we go back over various areas with different nuts, just to be clear. Actually, I have never claimed the patient has stopped being allergic but they can feel what we do and they understand how they can deal with exposure to problem substances. This is how we may deal with an extreme allergy, but the vast majority of people who come to us only need four or five sessions to clear all their sensitivities. 

 

Cow’s milk & dairy products

All mammals feed their babies a milk that provides every nutrient their offspring needs. It is a dynamic fluid given from one living creature to another, still warm and full of useful bioactive molecules that promote a healthy microbiome and protect against infection and disease. Human milk production responds to the baby’s needs as it grows, changing from the initial colostrum to baby milk to milk suitable for a toddler. 

​

Cow’s milk is perfectly formulated to help a baby calf grow into a large bovine. How has the confusion between cow and human happened? My experience tells me that cow’s milk is most unsuitable for humans at any stage of life. The proteins in cow’s milk are not easy for a human to digest and cause all manner of health problems. Lactose is also a problem for people in many parts of the world who lack the lactase enzyme needed to digest it. But the most common problem comes from the protein, which is found in all cow’s milk and dairy products and is often added to foods in the form of (skimmed) milk protein or casein. Most ready meals, sauces, processed foods and even biscuits have milk protein in them.

​

What harm can dairy products do? 

Dairy products are generally considered a vital part of our diet and people think they must be good for us, but they cause all kinds of symptoms, including eczema, acne, headaches, migraines, baby colic, IBS (bloating, wind, loose stools, ‘abdominal migraines’/ tummy aches nausea and vomiting), asthma, ENT (ears, nose and throat conditions, including glue ear, inflamed tonsils and adenoids), catarrh, rhinitis, sinusitis, post-nasal drip, chronic cough, brain fog, irritability, tiredness and low mood.

​

It is estimated that 1 in 5 children and 1 in 12 adults have eczema, which is almost exclusively caused by milk protein. Every year 5 million people in the UK visit their GP with 'nasal blockage', most often caused by milk products.

​

Most of us are born unable to deal well with cow’s milk and this sensitivity continues until we die. If one or both parents have the sensitivity then it is most likely that all their children will inherit it. Their children may not suffer equally but it is usually a mistake to assume it is only one of the children who has to be singled out for special treatment and put on a dairy-free diet. They are labelled as the sickly child, or the one with a problem, which is unfair on the child and the wrong way to look at milk sensitivity. It is not the child who is unhealthy - they are usually perfectly healthy so long as they avoid dairy - but it is their diet that is wrong. It is nearly always the wrong diet for the rest of the family too, and they will benefit from all of them avoiding milk and dairy products together. When they do, the parents often find that symptoms they or the other children had before disappear and they all feel better for it. Different members of the same family can have a whole range of symptoms that all come from milk protein sensitivity.

​

Do not assume that when a child appears to grow out of eczema that they can now cope well with milk. They will almost certainly develop other symptoms sooner or later.

​

Symptoms can come and go throughout life, with some people getting acne in their twenties instead of their teens and other people getting eczema or post-nasal drip (often leading to a chronic cough) for the first time when they are older. These symptoms are created by the body as it tries to clear the milk proteins from the system, and will stop when dairy is eliminated from the diet. How do I know? Because I can feel dairy products distorting the flow of life force in another person.

​

Migraines are interesting because in women they often start at puberty and end with menopause, leading people to conclude they are hormonal. The hormonal cycle clearly creates an additional stress on the body, but in most cases when the offending food or drink item is eliminated, the migraines stop, even when the hormonal cycle continues. From our testing, milk and dairy products are the most common cause of migraine, but others are tea, wheat and over-cooked oils, depending on the person’s sensitivity.  

​

Isn’t milk good for me?

The Milk Marketing Board, established in 1933 and dissolved in 2002, did a fantastic job in persuading us that cow’s milk is some kind of superfood. It is, for calves. A calf needs to grow 1,000 lbs in its first year. Cow’s milk is perfect for turning baby cows into huge cattle who chew the cud while staring vacantly into space. This doesn’t mean it is suitable for humans.  

​

We have our own human milk for our babies, which is perfectly designed to nourish a human baby until it can eat the full range of solids to get its nutrients. At no point is cow’s milk ‘needed’ or beneficial to a baby or young child, unless they are deprived of human milk as a young baby, or have insufficient nutrition from solids when weaned. 

​

This may sound brutal to mothers who are unable to feed their babies with their own milk, but it doesn’t help us to fudge the basic facts. We cannot pretend that cow’s milk formula is just as good as breast milk, because that would be a lie. 

Cow’s milk and dairy products are so often treated as an essential and healthy part of our diet when in reality they are unnecessary and cause many problems for our bodies. 

​

It doesn’t matter how many ‘essential nutrients’ cow’s milk may or may not contain; if it is bad for you then you don’t want to be consuming it. Also, just because these nutrients exist in the milk doesn’t mean that we can get at them since we have a very different digestive system from cows. 

​

Calcium is a good example of this. There is calcium in milk but we can’t benefit from it much as it comes without the necessary magnesium to metabolise it.

​

Osteoporosis & Calcium

I have treated many women who have osteoporosis (bone thinning) despite every single one of them eating milk and dairy products on a daily basis all their lives. They usually have a problem absorbing calcium rather than a lack of it in their diet. This absorption problem can nearly always be corrected using the Boulderstone Technique (see below). 

​

A much better source of calcium is green vegetables, which come complete with the required magnesium. Cows mainly eat grasses to make milk for their babies but also to sustain themselves. Nuts, seeds, fish and seafood are also good sources of calcium. I have to say, though, that I rarely find people are short of calcium (including people who never eat dairy) unless there is an absorbency problem. 

The RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) for calcium in the USA is twice as much as in Japan. How much is this influenced by lobbying by the dairy industry?

​

There is a prevalent myth that menopausal women need to consume cow’s milk for the calcium to prevent osteoporosis. However, we put most of the calcium on to our bones before the age of 35. After that the main issue is with keeping calcium in our bones and stopping it leaching out. It tends to leach out when we eat too many acidic foods, such as dairy, or too much animal protein (dairy again). Tea and coffee are also highly acidic. As calcium is alkali, the body will release it from our bones in order to neutralise the acidity levels in the blood. The answer (as usual) lies with plenty of green vegetables to keep the body as alkaline as possible.

​

Some people with osteoporosis are prescribed calcium tablets together with alendronic acid which forces calcium on to the bones, making them somewhat denser, but also risks making them more brittle and therefore more likely to break. 

​

The countries with the highest number of hip fracture (a measure of osteoporosis) are the same countries with high milk consumption: Scandinavia, Northern Europe, USA. Much lower levels of both osteoporosis and milk consumption are found in Asia and even lower in Africa. 

​

The Boulderstone Technique can help if the body is not absorbing calcium properly, and also if there are issues with manufacturing vitamin D, and issues with oestrogen. These issues are often present in people diagnosed with osteoporosis, or heading in that direction. 

​

Further studies

The symptoms of dairy sensitivity listed above are well known and are created by the body as it tries to clear out the milk protein molecules. This is similar to the sneezing and mucous the body produces to try and clear from the body problematic particles of dust, pollens or an unwanted virus. More serious effects that consumption of dairy may have on the body are not studied as much as they should be, probably because it would be directly opposed to the interests of the pharmaceutical industries and they would never fund it.

However, there are several studies that link milk consumption with cancer e.g. The China Study by Campbell & Campbell. A glass of milk a day increases your chances of developing prostatic or ovarian cancer by 300%, according to a study done by nurses in Maryland. A recent study in Norway showed an increase in the incidence of breast cancer in women who drank more milk than the control group. 

​

Psychological attachment to milk (I must have my milk!)

Every February a bovine beauty contest takes place in Verden an der Aller, North-West Germany. A recent winner was ‘Madame the milk cow’, judged to be the prettiest cow in the country, praised for her winning attributes of a beautiful udder, good teat placement, solid footing and broad pelvis. 

​

This fetishisation of dairy cows is not confined to Germany, although it may be particularly strong in Northern Europe where we have good pasture for grazing and depend greatly on milk and cheese in our diets. 

​

Our psychological attachment to milk starts with our physical attachment to our mothers during conception and pregnancy. When we are born we continue to attach ourselves to our mother's body through breast-feeding. This is a bonding process which also gives us all the nourishment we need. When a plastic bottle of cow's milk formula is given in place of breast-feeding we naturally get attached to this. This can happen from birth or at any point when breast milk is replaced by cow's milk in some form. Young children become very attached to their bottles and often insist on having their milk. It is no surprise that from a young age we see cow's milk as essential when it may have been the only substance given us to keep us alive as babies, and is associated with Mother. In a sense we confuse it with mother's milk and this confusion causes problems throughout the body and throughout our lives. 

​

So often when I tell a patient that they have a problem with cow's milk, they will say 'but I must have my milk; I can't live without it; I love dairy products' etc. 

​

Parents often describe their children as being 'addicted to milk'. They crave it and demand it. On closer questioning we often discover that they started off refusing milk and had an aversion to it - because it caused them problems. The well-meaning parents forced them to drink it, often by disguising it with sugar, chocolate and other flavours. The natural aversion then becomes a craving. Sometimes children crave foods that give them a bit of a buzz, a mild drug-like effect, as their body reacts to it. This is in addition to the association with being nurtured by the primary care-giver. 

​

We are indoctrinated to believe that milk is not only good for us but an essential food for our survival. The cow becomes our substitute mother or wet nurse. 

​

There is even a pervasive idea nowadays that babies should be weaned off the breast by 6 months (or 10 months in anthroposophical circles) in order to be put on to Mother Cow. This seems to be the dominant ideology amongst new mothers, their health visitors and doctors. It goes completely against the World Health Organisation's recommendation that babies should be breast-fed for at least two years. They also note that the world average to stop breast feeding is at the age of four.

​

People are disgusted by the idea of dairy products made from human breast milk, although ice cream made from human milk does exist now. What I find even more surprising is how people react when I tell them they may be able to tolerate sheep's milk cheese or yoghurt. Some practically gag at the idea. Yet somehow drinking milk from a cow is not seen as distasteful in the least, as that is thought of as just normal milk, almost as if it comes from a factory, not an animal.

​

The Boulderstone Technique can undo many food sensitivities but we have found it impossible to remove a dairy problem. We see this as proof that cow’s milk, goat’s milk and dairy should not be consumed.

 

Coffee, tea and migraines

Even being a reasonably sensitive person it took me over 20 years to discover that coffee was not good for me. It was one of the things that sent my mind out of control, making it difficult to think. I gave up coffee but, like a boomerang, it kept coming back into my life and continued to cause more havoc. One of the problems is that the havoc it causes isn’t permanent and doesn’t affect too many other people. That doesn’t stop coffee causing many people problems and I would say that everyone that drinks coffee daily is sleep deprived. Many people report that when they stop coffee they get a headache or migraine that can last a few days. By drinking coffee people put off that headache and, for at least this reason, it is addictive.

​

One of the things coffee does is make you more mentally sharp than you would be if you hadn’t had it. This conceals a hidden problem, especially if you get used to and familiar with this feeling. Through meditation and my work I have noticed what I would call the ‘established behaviour pattern’. In this pattern people grow towards the way they are. Happy people tend to stay happy, miserable people tend to stay miserable. Coffee-hyped people are mentally sharp and stay mentally sharp, while they have coffee. When their coffee consumption slows down, so do they. Fifty years of coffee consumption is not a small amount and could be in excess of 100,000 cups. It will leave the consumer needing coffee to stay functioning normally. If they do not get their ‘fix’ they will experience the opposite of the mental sharpness they used to experience when first starting out. Sometimes the opposite is true and you can see a reformed alcoholic, who hasn’t drunk anything, slurring words, lacking co-ordination and looking confused. This is damage that may be treatable.

​

Tea is another drug that appears to give people headaches when they stop drinking it. I discovered that people who drink six or more mugs a day generally get headaches, sometimes migraines, that go away a week or so after stopping the tea. I have seen hundreds of patients whose migraines disappeared after they stopped tea. Those same people had been prescribed some crazy drug by a doctor to take when they had a migraine, which rarely worked. There is something wrong with tea.

 

Asthma, eczema and acne

Asthma and eczema are connected and often seen together. The skin is an organ of elimination, removing waste liquids as well as gasses. The skin is also a barrier to the environment. The lungs also form a barrier to the environment and is the major organ dealing with gas exchange.

​

Eczema can come about because the skin is trying to eliminate something through the pores that somehow gets stuck or hung up. In this case the skin first of all gets inflamed. You can see this in people when the skin first gets dry and has slightly raised bumps. As conditions get worse the bumps join together and become red sore patches, very often in places that sweat more easily, where skin folds over itself, such as inside the elbows and wrists. This is when the skin needs to break down to eliminate the difficult substance. It is also itchy at this point, wanting to be scratched to allow the particles to be removed. The Western Medical solution is to use a steroid cream. This doesn't cure the problem even if it gets the skin temporarily clearer. The solution is to stop ingesting the substance that the skin is trying to eliminate. Putting something on the outside is never going to solve the problem but  this is pretty much all Western medicine offers.

The most common substance that needs eliminating is dairy and in many cases I have seen improvement within days of dairy being removed from the diet. Whatever the substance is that the skin tries and fails to excrete, it will cause a distortion in the flow of life force and can be felt by a practitioner. Once the offending substance has been removed from the diet the eczema generally clears up. We have treated literally thousands of cases in this way. We estimate that about 95% of patients with eczema find it simply disappears when they stop the dairy. 

​

Asthma is a similar story. Remove the dairy from the diet and the asthma often goes away or at least is much reduced. If environmental allergens such as dust, feathers, mould, pollens and animal dander are also causing asthma then all of these sensitivities can be removed by the Boulderstone Technique. No need for steroid sprays. I had a childhood friend that died from an asthma attack. Would he have been saved if dairy, or whatever caused his problem, had been eliminated? I don’t know but being so arrogant that you don’t even bother to check it out, which is the current state of Western medicine, is pretty much unforgivable.

​

Acne is another condition that often yields to discovering the offending food, usually dairy, and eliminating it or clearing it. Giving antibiotics that do horrendous damage for years after taking them for acne also makes me think less of unthinking doctors.

Since the Boulderstone Technique can’t remove the bad effects of consuming dairy products we advise eliminating them.

 

Chronic tiredness

A common symptom that can result from eating the wrong food is chronic tiredness or fatigue and is caused by the body diverting its energies to deal with something it shouldn’t have to. Many patients report feeling tired all the time and generally unwell. Western medicine usually requires a disease label before a doctor will give any medicine but sometimes a person has an illness that the doctor cannot name. From the Boulderstone Technique point of view, a disease label is irrelevant because we start with the fact that the patient says they do not feel well. We work back to the distortion in the flow of life force and work with that.

​

Needless to say, Western medicine tends to give antibiotics or steroids or even anti-depressants when confronted by an illness they don’t understand. These unnamed illnesses generally come along after some other illness that may have been treated badly and from which the person hasn’t recovered. Examples are ‘viruses’ that have been treated with antibiotics or in some other inappropriate way. The patient says they have never been well since a bout of influenza, glandular fever, Lyme disease or Covid, and might be ‘diagnosed’ with such diseases as Epstein-Barr, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lupus or another mystery illness. People feel exhausted, have no energy to live their lives and have a plethora of debilitating symptoms. Their condition is often labelled ‘auto-immune’, as if the body would attack itself for no reason. There is always a cause and a cure. Their life force is severely restricted and this is what needs to be addressed. 

 

Vitamin and mineral absorption

Another cause of chronic fatigue may be chronic anaemia, due to a lack of iron or vitamin B12 available to the body. Sometimes we find that, although a patient is getting enough vitamins and minerals in their diet, they appear as if they don’t. The reason for this is that they are not absorbing them or have developed a sensitivity to them. As with other sensitivities, we present the substance to the I-force and let it play out its dance. Once the treatment is complete, the body will go back to accepting the substance or substances that it has been rejecting. The I-force is a powerful force that always thinks it’s working for the good of the person, defending them and keeping them from harm, but in that defence the I-force can set up some major problems, as is seen here.

​

People often have a problem absorbing one (and sometimes more than one) of the following: iron, vitamin B12, magnesium, chromium, calcium, vitamin D, iodine, other B vitamins and so on. This absorbency issue can lead to various symptoms like anaemia, exhaustion, nervous system issues, insomnia, blood sugar problems, osteopoenia and osteoporosis, thyroid issues etc. The usual approach is to give stronger and larger doses of the vitamin or mineral that is not being absorbed but this only partially ‘works’. The I-force is stopping the body absorbing some substances because it thinks it is helping and this is why a life force solution is essential. These symptoms disappear virtually overnight when the I-force can play out its needs in the face of the vitamin or mineral and the patient can start absorbing the nutrition they need from their food again.

​

The I-force, like its child: the ego, can be very powerful and cause damage to its owner. It can cause death in the case of a nut allergy and any symptom you care to name and all the time it is doing this as a result of a distortion in the flow of life force. The only solution is one involving the life force.

 

Hormones

What do hormones do? They change your body. They change your growth and development, they speed your bodily functions, they are actively involved in sexual function, they are actively involved in having a child, they change your mental state, they change your physical and emotional state. And what does the ego want? What it doesn’t want is control to be taken away from it!

​

Hormones and the ego vie for control causing the I-force to fight the life force and create an inner battle resulting in hormones being seen as the bad guys.Taking hormones as part of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is the epitome of the ego fighting the body. How can problems not result when the body is saying, ‘This part of my life is over; a change is coming’. Taking HRT is only going to deal with one aspect of this aging process. It is understandable that the ego doesn’t want to move closer to death, but life goes on. I am sure that the consequences of feeling younger for a few more years will throw out the perfect synchronicity that the body already has. By taking HRT you put a lot out of sync and cause chaos.

​

It is easy to understand. Why would anyone want to grow old? Most people wouldn’t, and many think the way to stay young is to take hormones. You can see world leaders not grow old like other people - hormones. You can see people with phenomenally big muscles - hormones. You can see post-menopausal women dressed up as if they were still 18 - hormones. Hormones are used to suppress pregnancy and promote it and to allow diabetics to eat sugar. Hormones change your body and give a bit more freedom to your ego, at a price. It’s always at a price.

​

In a similar way to rejecting essential nutrients, the body can seem to set up an opposition to its own hormones. A prime example of this is insulin resistance. We can feel the distortion in the flow of life force when a person has insulin resistance as they react to insulin in a similar way to a food sensitivity. They are no longer responding to the hormone normally and they are likely to have blood sugar issues such as type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes. The Boulderstone Technique can remove the distortion in the flow of life force so that they respond to the hormone in the appropriate way and that might be the end of the matter, except type 2 diabetes isn’t only about insulin. In the same way that growing old isn’t just about testosterone or oestrogen or any one hormone. These are whole body issues where the life force/I-force issues must be addressed.

​

Similarly, if someone isn’t responding to one or more of their thyroid hormones then they are most likely to develop thyroid problems such as under-active or overactive thyroid. With fertility hormones like oestrogen and progesterone, all kinds of symptoms can be caused by a lack of normal response to the hormone by the body: fertility issues, menstrual cycle disorders, fibroids, cancer, polycystic ovaries, endometriosis etc. It’s not the hormones at fault, it’s the I-force response to the hormones, and this is what we can help with.
